I was on a team that worked along side the DOE to develop and test ultra efficient heat pumps for northern climates to electrify heating and replace oil burning furnaces with cold climate heat pumps able to operate down to -23 f , the heat pumps still exist but policy asking for it was revised…
Confido was a word given to my family in 1263.
“I Trust”
Figured it was time to put it back to work 😄
I use it as …
Capability becomes ability when you trust yourself enough to act.
Help me make it a thing.

In a world…
where one guy decided to write a sci-fi novel…
he actually finished it.

We also have help ignoring the craziness in the world with 3 little dogs , this is Harley , named after Harley Quinn ( as a puppy she had black fur around her eyes like a mask) . She lives up to the name…
Currently turning my sci-fi novel into an action movie trailer…
debating how many times I can say
“In a world…” before it becomes a problem. 🎬

Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

Gemini 7 stayed in space for 14 days…
in a capsule about the size of a front seat of a car.
Needed to make sure Apollo could survive that long to the moon .
Could you pull off 14 days ?

Would you do this ?
Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙
Still wild to say this: I wrote a sci-fi novel. It exists. People are reading it.
Echoes from Orbit — available now.

NASA’s SkyFall mission is officially a go! 🚀 Building on Ingenuity’s legacy, SkyFall will use a daring mid-air deployment to land a squad of next-gen helicopters on Mars.
He didn’t sign up to save the world.
He signed up to fix machines.
That turned out to be the problem.
I’ve literally started with “They say the first sentence in any speech is always the hardest. Well, that one's behind me, anyway” from Wisława Szymborska. Just to have something on paper and go from there
I guess being on a team that designs some of most efficient heat pumps is a good business to be in then…😉
It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end. - Ursula K. Le Guin ~ Background photo shows a bonfire burning on an island.
Writing a book changes you. Even reading a book changes you. Most authors are targeted towards finishing a book. But I'd say the writing is just as important. - Wrtr #AmWriting #AmEditing Writing.

Makes sense, decision creates the position, but persistence determines the outcome.
Most people don’t lack ability.
They lack the moment where they decide:
“I’m doing this anyway.”
That moment is everything.

Man alone in space.
AI that may know more than it should.
A problem that doesn’t care if you’re ready.
If you like Project Hail Mary, Bobiverse, or Expeditionary Force…
Echoes from Orbit might be your thing 🚀

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.
They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.
That energy is all around us.
And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
I have the same goal, I’m currently <10 but just released over week ago. I’m more into sci-fi but will follow to see when you make your goal .
You wake up in orbit.
Your body is on Earth.
Your mind isn’t.
And something out there is already moving.
Echoes from Orbit is now live on Kindle + Kindle Unlimited 🚀

I’d have to remember how to write in cursive, I tried a few years back and had to pause every letter trying to think how to join the letters 🤣
Zoey enjoys laying in the sun among the flowers and tall grass , you’d think with all that fur she’d get hot, but she prefers it.

More Betelgeuse facts , something I may be studying for my next book(hint hint ).
Betelgeuse pulses.
It expands… contracts… dims… brightens…
Like a slow, unstable heartbeat in the night sky 🌟
#SpaceFacts #Betelgeuse #Astronomy #SciFi #CosmicHorror
Continuing my non politics distractions.
Betelgeuse is so big that if you replaced our Sun with it,
it would stretch past Mars… and possibly out to Jupiter’s orbit 😳
