I finally get what those words mean. I’ve heard them uttered many times by people who had praise heaped on them for something heroic they did. And I’m sure everyone who might read this can relate. Chances are, we’ve all heard someone say something like this—maybe even someone very close to us. It may have … Continue reading “I’m no Hero”→| Stories by Williams
Sixty years ago, famed physicist Freeman Dyson theorized that in their ongoing quest to find more living space and energy, advanced civilizations might choose to convert their solar systems into me…| Stories by Williams
This week’s episode is the second installment in my series about megastructures. In the previous installment, we took a look at the Dyson Sphere, the concept that started it all, as well as variations like the Niven Ring and Matrioshka Brain. As promised, this episode examines some of the more exotic concepts for Dyson structures … Continue reading Episode 105 – Megastructures (Part II) – is now live!→| Stories by Williams
This past week, I did an episode that is long overdue! In truth, I can’t possibly explain why I’ve neglected it for so long. The subject at hand… MEGASTRUCTURES! Honestly, this is…| Stories by Williams
Hello folks! My apologies for the delays in posting. The past few weeks have been a bit of a ringer over here (which I will address in a future post). Also, while the ringer situation was going on,…| Stories by Williams
Welcome all! This week’s episode is one that I consider very important. Since the Trump administration was inaugurated, people at NASA were understandably afraid.

Those fears … Continue reading Episode 100 of Stories from Space is now Live!→| Stories by Williams
This week’s episode was an exciting one! I sat down with aerospace engineer, astrophysicist, and analog astronaut Dr. Rodrigo Schmitt. For years, he and other engineers have used the Kerbal Space Program (with the realism mods) to assist with spacecraft design and mission planning. KSP and other “sandbox games” have also been hailed as a … Continue reading Episode 99 of Stories from Space is now Live!→| Stories by Williams
After a wee hiatus, Stories from Space is back! And this week’s episode is dedicated to something that is overdue: Space Junk! Otherwise known as orbital debris, this problem is the result of…| Stories by Williams
Okay, now this was a surprise! Twice this month, interviews I previously did (months or even more than a year ago!) have aired. The first was the interview I had with Bharti Sharma of AADYA Geo Talks, which recently aired after a few months (and was the subject of my last post). The other was … Continue reading My Interview with From Here to the Stars!→| Stories by Williams
A few months back, I had the honor of appearing on AADYA Geo Talks, the podcast series launched by Bharti Sharma and the organization she founded – AADYA, whose name means “origin”…| Stories by Williams

This week’s episode was dedicated to the Voyager 1 and 2 probes, and it was a long time in the making! Launching in 1977, these two probes explored the outer Solar System and accomplished man…| Stories by Williams
This week’s episode deals with a rather pressing matter for astronomers and cosmologists. Shortly after Einstein revealed his Theory of General Relativity in 1916, scientists began pondering …| Stories by Williams
