Low Earth Orbit, Middle Orbit. High orbit. We look at all the orbits and what it takes to get there. Also, Legos, a banana, and a real rocket goes BOOM!
Warning: This video contains major COVID hair. The war gave us the V-2 rocket, let’s see what post-war rocketry has in store. Spoiler: it’s not that different.
I wanted to share what I learned while writing A HISTORY OF WHAT COMES NEXT, so I made a series of super professional videos about the space race. They’re part science, part history, probably part wrong (I’m not a historian or a rocket scientist), but I tried to make it fun.
You can get a sneak peak at the upcoming novel. Just follow this link and pick your ebook format. You can read the whole story when it comes out on February 2 in North America (March 4 in the UK).

AAAAHHH!!! THE TEST is getting the movie treatment! I hope we get a start date soon. I couldn’t be more excited about this. You know John Boyega, of course. Payman Maadi is such a great fit and Gavin Hood is an amazing director (Ender’s Game, anyone?) You can read more on Deadline.com
I was lucky enough to talk to former astronaut Terry Virts on Oct. 2, as part of the Vroman’s Live series. I had a blast. You can watch the one-hour conversation here (apologies for the occasional coughing, my son brought a cold back from school a couple days before)
It’s work in progress but I hope you’ll like the new look. This post is there so I can see what the site looks like with a post in. I forgot to say hi!

In this episode we talk about what makes a rocket a rocket. Hey, maybe we’ll even make it to space.
