Join us for the June general meeting of the San Diego Space Society. Greg Meholic will give a talk on advanced space propulsion concepts for interstellar travel, including nuclear rockets, faster-than-light travel, quantum drives, wormholes, and some really exciting physics.

Mr. Meholic works at the Aerospace Corporation where he supports future space launch concept development and evaluates novel propulsion systems for the US government space industry. He is an expert in upper-stage cryogenic rocket engine performance and design and has supported over 40 rocket launches as well as a number of advanced programs. He is member of the AIAA Nuclear and Future Flight Propulsion Technical Committee and has published a number of papers about faster-than-light travel, the construct of space-time, and the grand unified theory. Greg is also a lecturer at both UCLA and Loyola-Marymount University on Propulsion Systems for both aircraft and spacecraft.
