Neuffer Rings
I know this is a very old thread but wondering if any of you are still around. Bruce Neuffer was my father in law. I have the original paper that he wrote on the Single Stage to Orbit vehicle. I had never heard of it until after his death.
======================================= MODERATOR'S COMMENT: Approved for now, if you can help this person, please do. GdM |

I'm the originator of this thread. Wish I'd checked back regularly! Shortly after I posted this, another posted plea resulted in a colleague of your father-in-law sending me a copy of the original paper. But it would still be nice to talk to someone else who knew him. John Koch |

He is buried at Beulah Baptist Church Cemetery, Boaz, Marshall County, Alabama https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/f...gr&GRid(698852. I think that his concept will prove to be far more impo rtant to the future of humanity than just about any other, and I was proud to publicize his design in my novel. The Pulpless.com edition of Kings of the High Frontier is long gone, but it was the first electronic-format novel to win a major literary award (Prome theus). A hardback, limited edition came out in 1998. Copies can occasional ly be found on eBay. The Neuffer Ring is prominently displayed on the cover of the forthcoming e pub version of KOTHF. The illo is by renowned space researcher/historian/en thusiast Tom Brosz (who first turned me on to Neuffer). The book is not bei ng updated, but should now be considered a #rocketpunk #alternatehistory #s pace #scifi thriller. :-) Here is the cover for the new edition: https://twitter.com/KoPubCo_Info/sta tus/854004338988949504 |

Maybe I should start one. The Pulpless.com edition is not too far gone, I still have mine (and a print version too!) Great book! Thanks Victor! |

I've been working on the ePub version for months. Hope to get it done soon. I had to change the X-15A2 upgrade scenes (Larry Poubelle's Dae dalus Project) because now I could access a rocket-equation tool on the int erwebs and realized it did not have enough oomph to go orbital, so... Eugen Sänger skip-glide circumnavigation of Earth! And, yes, I have all the old HTML Pulpless.com files of the book. But since I tweaked even that for the Final Frontier edition, I had to take the Word edition and convert it to XHTML. Luckily, I've worked with CSS and XHTML f or years in my former Real Job. --Victor |
