Introduction I am, at heart, a scientist; to be more precise, an astronomer. I've been in love with observing and exploring the Moon, planets, stars, galaxies and outer space with my eyes, binoculars, telescopes and through reading and studying about the subject since I was a young boy. I'm also an aviator, nurturing an deep and abiding passion for anything to do with flying and flight, though currently for reasons of health I'm grounded. I would love nothing more than to fully devote my entire life and energy to my interests as they give me a great feeling of fulfillment and personal satisfaction, but I find, like a great many others throughout history when faced with unconscionable evil and cruelty that is now in power in my country and seemingly spreading throughout the world in the name of heartless corporatism that I must lay my passions aside and speak out against this evil in any way I can. My conscience will not allow me to do otherwise...
