A retired engineer with experience in missiles, nukes, and high-tech private ventures, Arlan Andrews, Sr., is a Hugo-nominated author who has published hundreds of short science fiction and fantasy stories, non-fiction articles and books, and a dozen science fiction novels.
He founded and leads a science fiction think tank, SIGMA, which provides futurism consulting to the US government. Arlan has an active interest in space travel and advanced technologies and an equal fascination with ancient civilizations and their unexplained accomplishments.
His most famous observation in print is probably “The first true spaceship will take off and land the way God and Robert Heinlein intended…” (Although Elon Musk might have an opinion on that.)
