Abou
t Gerry:
\nI retired in December 2019 from my employer of 27 years a
Swiss machine manufacturer.
\nI was employed in the industrial laser
division as the Installation Project Manager for UK and Ireland.
\nMy
background was in Electronic and Electrical systems.
\nI’ve always i
nterested in science and related subjects but about 10 years ago decided t
o take astronomy more seriously and joined YAS.
\nand a bit about the
talk
\nWith regard to The future of Space tourism\, I looked into it
and became really quite interested and as such did some digging which ena
bled me to put together the presentation.
\nBasically\, I looked at w
hat’s possible now\, midterm and we’ll into the future\, it’s based on som
e know facts and some speculation about the future\, along with a few cons
iderations that would need to be overcome to make things possible.
\n
A little tongue in cheek towards the end\, but does have some big interest
ing numbers I think\, no heavy maths or anything like that.
\nSuitabl
e for all ages with some nice pictures and a couple of small videos.
