Independently invented pellet-stream propulsion. Invented beam-propulsion
space transportation network. Hyperbolic beam from high-orbiting Mass
Driver intercepts low circular-orbit beam-rider spacecraft. (1981)
Space Cables
Independently invented Orbital Loops. Loop in low Moon orbit launches and lands payloads. (1981)
