    How to Build a Starcruiser

    About this ebook

    A sublimely humorous treatise on building a starcruiser and how you could go about it. It is not a technical manual but rather a deeper look into why people cannot seem to break through certain mental barriers and even begin to visualize how to do such a thing.

    Mr. Martin passed away in 1992 after many years as a research chemist, systems analyst for NASA, a Scientology practitioner, and finally a past-lives counselor.

    This is among several of the works he wrote during that latter phase of his life.

    He always wrote tongue in cheek. Not only did he intend his metaphysics to be enjoyed, he assumed the only way to advance further mentally, emotionally, or spiritually was through humor.

    Nothing was to be taken seriously.

    I can hear him laughing still.

      From The Editor

      Feb 15, 2024

      Dark matter really is an awkward thing to explain to anyone who doesn’t follow science. Even if you do follow science, it still sounds kind of silly when you try and make sense of it. Any attempt to do so usually ends up sounding something like this:

      Aug 8, 2022
