DR. ROBERT L. FORWARD robert forward bob forward Dr. Robert L. Forward was told, on May 27, that he had terminal melanoma in both body and brain, and could expect to live no more than three or four months. Undergoing chemotherapy and radiation might possibly extend that term slightly. He opted to try them, and immediately began work on the things he wanted most to complete. Foremost among these was the writing of his autobiography, because not only did he want to share what he considered to have been an exciting life, he wanted to teach, one more time, the aspects of science that he hoped others would be eager to continue. Unfortunately, the treatments were to no avail. They made him ill and weakened him further, and very soon he could not write with a pen nor on the computer. He turned to dictation on a tape recorder, and did his best to edit the results. But the most important thing, in his own mind, was the writing of this autobiography. This would have been a wonderful project for years of work, and he would have enjoyed it immensely. However, he insisted that the few chapters he was able to produce should, flawed though they are, be made available. Links to this final work are posted below.. Dr. Forward died at home in the early hours of September 21, 2002.

Robert L. Forward (1932-2002) The intelligent pattern of protoplasm that had been Robert L. Forward ceased coherent operation on September 21, 2002. Robert Lull Forward died at home of brain cancer at the age of 70. Forward was born 15 August 1932 in Geneva, New York. After graduation from the University of Maryland in 1954 with a BS degree in Physics and a Second Lieutenant commission in the Air Force, he married Martha Neil Dodson and served two years stateside during the closing years of the Korean War. Upon leaving the service Forward was awarded a Hughes Aircraft Company Graduate Research Fellowship, which he used to obtain a MS in Applied Physics from UCLA in 1958 and a PhD in Physics from the University of Maryland in 1965. Forward was one of the early pioneers in the field of experimental gravitational radiation astronomy. For his PhD thesis he built and operated the first bar antenna for the detection of gravitational radiation under the direction of Profs. Weber and Zipoy. The antenna is now in the Smithsonian Museum. Forward worked for 31 years at the Hughes Aircraft Company Corporate Research Laboratories in Malibu, CA in positions of increasing responsibility until he took early retirement in 1987 to spend more time on writing novels and his aerospace consulting company business - Forward Unlimited. During his tenure at Hughes, he received 18 patents, and published numerous papers on experimental gravity instruments and measurements, including the first paper on using the normal modes of the Earth to set an upper limit on interstellar millicycle gravitational radiation; a paper on the details of the wideband "chirp" signal to be expected from the gravitational collapse of a binary neutron star pair; and a method for "flattening" spacetime over a hatbox-sized region in an orbiting microgravity space lab to the picogravity level.

Robert L. Forward Friends, It is my sad duty to inform you that Dr. Robert L. Forward has left this mortal Earth. Bob passed away early in the morning on September 21, 2002. A memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, September 28th, at 1 p.m. at the Westwood Hills Congregational Church in Westwood, CA (Los Angeles area). Bob Forward leaves behind a truly astounding legacy. In addition to his pioneering work on solar sails, space tethers, antimatter propulsion, and other advanced space propulsion technologies, Bob also performed seminal work in several other areas, including smart structures and gravitational astronomy. In addition to his technical work, Bob also strove through his popular science writings, science fiction books, and countless lectures to educate and inspire the next generations of scientists. The many letters and emails that people sent to him over the past several months are testament to the fact that his work had a strong influence on the careers of many of us. Those letters meant a great deal to him. Bob prepared several obituaries for the various professional organizations to which he belonged. One of them is reproduced below.

A B C D ... CONTACT entire Web this site Forward, Robert L(ull) (1932-2002) Consulting scientist, future technologist, and author of science and science fiction who speculated about unusual forms of extraterrestrial life and proposed several novel interstellar propulsion systems. The author of Dragon's Egg (1980) and Starquake! (1985), about life on a neutron star (see gravitational life ), he explored the idea of using antiproton annihilation and laser sails for interstellar travel . Together with Robert P. Hoyt, he also developed the concept of using space tethers for powering orbital and interplanetary missions. Forward obtained a B.S. in physics from the University of Maryland (1954), an M.S. in applied physics from the University of California, Los Angeles (1955), and a Ph.D. in gravitational physics from the University of Maryland (1965). From 1956 to 1987, he worked at Hughes Aircraft Company Corporate Research Laboratories in Malibu, California, and since 1962 has also ran his own consulting company devoted to investigating new energy sources and propulsion concepts.
