Handmer sometimes speaks outside his core competencies, but I find his napkin math to be extremely insightful.

You may enjoy his recent interview on Patio11's podcast:

He runs a startup that is working on a methane synthesizer that might find uses on Earth but would be very much in demand on a Mars colony.


+1 on the podcast, it is excellent. I only wished he would have dug deeper on details on what they are building at Terraform.


what is his core of competence ?


He has a PhD in physics from Caltech (general relativity) and then he worked for NASA JPL as a software engineer
