Hello, and thanks for visiting my corner of the cyberverse. I’m a nigh-thirty-year-old theoretical-physics-inclined geologist who’s spent his entire life with his eyes toward the stars and is playing a tactical gambit to reach them.
To start, let me make a note on the blog title. “Astro” relates (obviously) to stars, celestial objects, or outer space. “Wright,” in its archaic form, means, “A maker or builder,” and just happens to (conveniently) be part of my name. (Think “playwright.”) So, I see an “astrowright” as a person whose creations or work directly relates to space and space exploration. -Someone I’d like to be. And secondly, I’ve also had an interest in the physics of time and Einstein’s Relativity since high school, and I honestly believe that there is a way to get around the pesky barriers to time travel.
So, aside from including my thoughts on space exploration and the latest news and discoveries on the scientific frontier, it’s my intent that this blog will document my attempt to do two things:
1) Get off of the planet
2) Build a time machine
So, over the top? Perhaps. Sincere? Absolutely.
Is anything possible if you put your mind to it? Let’s find out.

Awesome – very thought-provoking insight into the mind of the first astrowright!
