   Extractions: Friends, It is my sad duty to inform you that Dr. Robert L. Forward has left this mortal Earth. Bob passed away early in the morning on September 21, 2002. A memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, September 28th, at 1 p.m. at the Westwood Hills Congregational Church in Westwood, CA (Los Angeles area). Bob Forward leaves behind a truly astounding legacy. In addition to his pioneering work on solar sails, space tethers, antimatter propulsion, and other advanced space propulsion technologies, Bob also performed seminal work in several other areas, including smart structures and gravitational astronomy. In addition to his technical work, Bob also strove through his popular science writings, science fiction books, and countless lectures to educate and inspire the next generations of scientists. The many letters and emails that people sent to him over the past several months are testament to the fact that his work had a strong influence on the careers of many of us. Those letters meant a great deal to him. Bob prepared several obituaries for the various professional organizations to which he belonged. One of them is reproduced below.

   Extractions: In these essays, Forward breaks down many of the preconceptions about what science may and may not achieve. On the way, he mows down a number of sacred cows, and even explores the 'paranormal'. In this respect, he may find himself a little out on a limb in his relations with other physicists. Not that that will bother him at all. The essays are all of an easily digestible length of 15 pages or so.

   Extractions: Dr. Robert L. Forward Robert Lull Forward died at home of brain cancer on September 21 2002, at the age of 70. Forward was born 15 August 1932 in Geneva, New York. After graduation from the University of Maryland in 1954 with a BS degree in Physics and a Second Lieutenant commission in the Air Force, he married Martha Neil Dodson and served two years stateside during the closing years of the Korean War. Upon leaving the service Forward was awarded a Hughes Aircraft Company Graduate Research Fellowship, which he used to obtain a MS in Applied Physics from UCLA in 1958 and a PhD in Physics from the University of Maryland in 1965. Forward was one of the early pioneers in the field of experimental gravitational radiation astronomy. For his PhD thesis he built and operated the first bar antenna for the detection of gravitational radiation under the direction of Profs. Weber and Zipoy. The antenna is now in the Smithsonian Museum. Forward worked for 31 years at the Hughes Aircraft Company Corporate Research Laboratories in Malibu, CA in positions of increasing responsibility until he took early retirement in 1987 to spend more time on writing novels and his aerospace consulting company business - Forward Unlimited . During his tenure at Hughes, he received 18 patents, and published numerous papers on experimental gravity instruments and measurements, including the first paper on using the normal modes of the Earth to set an upper limit on interstellar millicycle gravitational radiation; a paper on the details of the wideband "chirp" signal to be expected from the gravitational collapse of a binary neutron star pair; and a method for "flattening" spacetime over a hatbox-sized region in an orbiting microgravity space lab to the picogravity level.

    Extractions: ROBERT L. FORWARD, SPACE VISIONARY AND FRIEND OF THE FOUNDATION, DIES AT THE AGE OF 70 Robert L. Forward. Photo courtesy Forward Unlimited. Los Angeles, CA, September 23, 2002 - The members of the Space Frontier Foundation lament the loss of one of the true greats of space fact and fiction, Dr. Robert L. Forward. Dr. Forward was, as his name implied, a "forward" thinker, and creator of visions of the future that inspired and excited. His careful style and gentle demeanor spoke well of the man, and his ideas made him a Visionary to those of us who had the pleasure of meeting and knowing him. Bob was a "big idea" man, and never thought small. He championed many great ideas for humanity, especially the idea of space tethers and intergalactic travel. During his years as a writer and thinker, he tirelessly traveled the world spreading the dream that tomorrow can be a great place, and that we, as humans, have a great future among the stars.

    Extractions: Five carefully selected people, each with the chance to earn $1 billion. The catch? They have to descend into Saturn's upper atmosphere and establish a factory that will produce meta, the fuel that powers interplanetary flight. With only enough meta to get them to Saturn, failure will cost them their lives. And all too soon the crew becomes marooned on the back of what they dub a Rukh, a 4-kilometer-long creature that swims in Saturn's upper atmosphere and has two brains, male and female. This engaging book by physicist Robert L. Forward evokes the sense of wonder of old-time science fiction.

    Extractions: 25. September 2002 - Autor: Florian Breitsameter Nachruf auf Robert L. Forward (1932-2002) Der Physiker und Science Fiction-Autor Robert L. Forward starb am 21. September 2002 im Alter von 70 Jahren in Südkalifornien an einem Gehirntumor. Forward schrieb nicht nur über 200 wissenschaftliche Artikel, sondern verfaßte auch elf SF-Romane. Robert Lull Forward wurde am 15. August 1932 in Geneva, New York, geboren. 1954 schloß er sein Studium an der Universität Maryland mit einem Bachelor in Physik ab und diente als Soldat in der Air Force. In diese Zeit heiratete er auch Martha Neil Dodson. Nach seinem Wehrdienst studierte Forward weiter Angewandte Physik an der University of California und promovierte 1965 in Maryland mit einer Arbeit über Gravitationswellen. In den folgenden 31 Jahren arbeitete und forschte er in den Forschungslabors der Hughes Aircraft Company in Malibu, bevor er 1987 dann frühzeitig in Rente ging, um mehr Zeit fürs Schreiben zu haben. Außerdem noch bekannt ist die Rocheworld-Trilogie, die aus den Romanen "The Flight of the Dragonfly" (dt. "Der Flug der Libelle", Bastei-Lübbe 24078), in dem es um einen hantelförmigen Planeten geht, "Martian rainbow" (dt. "Der Regenbogen des Mars", Bastei-Lübbe 24159) und "Staurn Rukh" besteht.

    Extractions: The Hallway The Library The Gallery The Music Room ... The Links "Timemaster", by Robert L. Forward Tor, US paperback, March 1993 (© 1992), $5.99, 306 pages. ISBN 0-812-51644-3 There is a long tradition of real scientists, engineers and mathematicians writing science fiction - I can think of many examples, past and present, such as Greg Benford (Astrophysics), Vernor Vinge (Computer Science), John Cramer (Theoretical Physics), Fred Hoyle (Cosmology), Isaac Asimov (Biochemistry), Thomas Easton (Biology), even E.E "Doc" Smith (Engineering, I think) - though most are known more for their fiction than their science. Of course, like anyone, scientists will write with varying degees of artistic success, but I've enjoyed most of what I've read by most of the above (though it's been quite a while since I've read anything by the "Doc"!). Forward, too, is a fairly well-known scientist, with a PhD in Gravitational Physics, lots of patents, a successful consulting company, etc.. I have no doubt he knows his science. However, that did not stop this book from sucking rocks. By the time I was nearly halfway though, I came close to throwing this book at the wall. I only restrained myself from doing so by the thought of the damage to the resale value.
