Ron is an inspirational public speaker talking to all ages about activities in outer and inner space.  You may contact him from the bottom of the home page.  Home

“Eyes On The Cape” are writings of space related activities in words we can all understand.  We live in exciting time of human discovery.  His reports attempt to answer what we are doing in space and why.  He writes about the International Space Station and its goal to improve the quality of life for all people on the good planet Earth!  His writings and public presentations aim to entertain, inspire, and educate the public. 

Ron’s travels have taken him to Peenemunde Germany where Wernher Von Braun’s team launched the first rocket to escape Earth’s atmosphere October 2nd, 1942.  Other trips have taken him to the country of Kazakhstan in 1991 to see a manned Russian Soyuz rocket launch, and to French Guiana South America to see a European Ariane rocket launch.  In the last 20 years he has seen most of the United States expendable launches from Florida and over 100 Space Shuttle launches, having worked on many of the shuttle missions.  Traveling the globe to the International Astronomical Federation meetings each year keeps Ron’s interest in mankind’s space endeavors set on “full enthusiasm”.

Beside space, Ron is a bicyclist, loves the outdoors, and is active in the community being on the Vice President of Serene Harbor, a domestic violence shelter.  Ron’s enthusiasm spreads to all who meet him, read his writing, or see his presentations, and his impact is everlasting.

 

What this site IS NOT:  I am not an official news release agency.  NASA and my employer, Lockheed Martin, have Public Affair Offices for news release.  I  explain the significance of publicly known information about space activities.  If you will, I'm an inspirational interpreter of technical things!
