I had lunch with Jerry at DragonCon this past weekend and he was enjoying himself. He was using a walker but only when necessary. He told some of the same stories I heard at Space Access but they were still enjoyable because they were his. Because he was there. I'm going to cherish that memory forever.
Rest in peace, Dr. Pournelle. We will carry on with the fight.
- eropple 9y agoI heard that that was pretty cool and was bummed I didn't get to track him down this year. Now I won't--I'm sad about that, but hey, his work speaks for itself.
- nkoren 9y agoI also remember him well from Space Access. Seems to me that one can draw line directly from his advocacy for the DC-X, through Armadillo & company, to SpaceX and Blue Origin's spectacular accomplishments. He planted one hell of a seed there. The world owes him one.
