From chaos theory to material science in additive manufacturing, to general relativity, Dr. Glenn’s applied research activity has spanned the years. His current work in experimental spacetime distortion (ESD) is where he seeks to be the first to show verifiable and repeatable evidence of experimental distortion of spacetime in the laboratory based on utilization of radio frequency in a complex dielectric chamber. Dr. Glenn believes that the benefits and blessings of space exploration and the growing space economy should be made to benefit all humankind. Only through this philosophy can the industry grow the right way. He is also a champion for the creation of opportunities for all people in the STEM fields. He works with companies, agencies, and organizations to help them maximize their potential in meeting goals for diversity and inclusion. Space for Everyone Space for Everyone is the notion that the advances and innovations that come from the pursuit of space exploration should benefit all humanity. This panel will discuss the expanding space economy and whether it is poised to benefit a few or all. From global space agencies such as NASA, ESA, Roscosmos, CNSA, and others, to the commercial enterprises popping up all over the world; are they working towards ways to benefit humanity? The panel will discuss how this notion increases the chances that planet Earth evolves into a spacefaring society. Does a crowd sourcing model for space development make sense? In this show Rick and his guest, U.S. space policy expert Aaron Oesterle talk about space "Policy" based on their experiences in Washington D.C.. Mr Oesterle, known in the space field as a behind the scenes policy "doer," shared his thoughts on work to establish space solar power as a viable solution to climate change, orbital debris issues, the trashing of the International space Station and how a top level national U.S. policy pushing NASA and the USG to support the development of human communities in space might be a game changer. While topical, the program looks at each of these issues through the lens of what space policy is, how it gets done, how it can go wrong and how it can help create change.
