Talk:Mass Driver 1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

{{helpme}} I was one of the people who worked on the MIT Mass Driver 1 project back in 1976 & 1977. I have kept in touch with a number of the others, especially Kevin Fine, who was the student in charge under Henry Kolm's direction. My problem (aside from being a newbie in general) is how to beef up this article when what the folks I know have to offer is largely personal recollections, never published, and hence not legitimate for Wiki as I understand it. I am afraid this information is liable to go out of existence in another few years, as it is certainly getting stale already. In particular Henry Kolm, who is now 83, played a key role. He may have a lot of collected material about the design, etc, that would be of interest to fanatics like me.

There is a whiff of self-promotion and promotion of friends here, advice on how to tread that boundary would also be helpful.
