Long time SF/space fan, heavy influence by Heinlein. '74-"75 infected with the space colony meme of Dr. O'Neill, co-founder of L5 Society, first president. Co author of articles on space agriculture, vapor phase fabrication of large objects, and use of gas entrained solids for heat transfer. Chairman of the fundraising effort for the fight against the Moon Treaty in '79-80. Since then less active in space, more active in cryonics (membership # under 100 in Alcor). Several patents, BS electrical engineering from University of Arizona, many other publications, one of the few people writing on the topic of memes (replicating information patterns) H. Keith Henson
