Space Show Interview and Radiation Paper published

In April I did a Space Show interview on the Equatorial Low Earth Orbit (ELEO) space settlement concept. Its athttp://www.thespaceshow.com/show/16-apr-2017/broadcast-2898-al-globusand can be found on iTunes and other podcast venues.The NSS Space Settlement Journal (http://www.nss.org/settlement/journal/index.html)reviewed and has publishedOrbital Space Settlement Radiation Shielding,Al Globus and Joe Strout, April 2017 (http://www.nss.org/settlement/journal/NSS-JOURNAL-Orbital-Space-Settlement-Radiation-Shielding.pdf).This is only a little different than the last preprint, which some changes of emphasis here and there. This 38 page paper explains why ELEO settlement may well require little or no radiation shielding, reducing settlement mass by about two orders of magnitude and making launch from Earth potentially viable, particularly if the SpaceX Interplanetary Transportation System (ITS) meets its goals.If you want off of this email list, just reply and tell me.
