John Blincow
President, CEO, Chairman
For over ten years John Blincow has worked to form a large-scale space construction industry. John has now started two C-type corporations and an LLC to provide funding and tools to build large space stations.
John now holds seven patents and is working on another four for Sargon Systems to build big modules and Torus-type stations very fast. Prior to entering the space industry John was a pilot for 24 years, flying all over the world in such aircraft as the Boeing 757, DC-10, and Boeing 747-400. John Blincow’s experience as a pilot instructor includes United Airlines, Boeing Flight Safety, and as an instructor for The Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

Ted Hall, Arch.D.
Architecture of Artificial-Gravity Environments
Dr. Theodore W. Hall graduated from the University of Michigan in 1981 with a professional Master of Architecture degree (M.Arch.), but as a de facto computer programmer – beginning with computer-aided architectural design, building information modeling and system analysis, morphing into general 3D geometric modeling and visualization, and culminating in virtual reality. In his “day job” he now works at the University of Michigan as a virtual-reality visualization specialist, developing software and providing consultation for projects throughout the University. When his first programming job ended with the project funding in 1986, he entered the Doctoral Program in Architecture (Arch.D.) and ultimately produced a dissertation on “The Architecture of Artificial-Gravity Environments for Long-Duration Space Habitation” in 1994. He was a founding member of the Space Architecture Technical Committee (SATC) in the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and chaired the committee 2010-2014. He also organized and chaired the space-architecture sessions at the International Conference on Environmental Systems (ICES) 2007-2010 and 2013-2014. He regards space architecture as his “expensive hobby,” and continues to attend conferences and publish occasional papers on the subject of design for artificial gravity.
