Why the Delay

When finally this KESTS to GEOHR project really gets going, people will ask of me (James E D Cline, me), "why did he not get this obviously extremely important project going long before he did? So many species went extinct needlessly because of that, and so much other unnecessary damage to the ecosystem happened during that dozen years, and it is so hard to restore these things!" So this page is devoted to attemping to explain those reasons, of why I was so slow in getting this project going for humanity.

Things that were more strengths than weaknesses

• My Briggs-Meyer Jungian psychological type is "INFP"- Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceptive. That is, I tend to be more introverted (introspective) than extroverted (outgoing), tend to be more intuitive (imaginative and insightful) than physical action achievement oriented, tend to be more into my emotional feelings than coldly intellectual, and tend to be more perceptive (go with the flow) than judgemental.
• All through my career I have attempted to utilize my innate technological creativity to provide employers with new ideas for technical gagetry. However, almost invariably the result was that engineers/superiors acted as if I was "out of place" and that it would be embarrasing to them, as degreed people in high paid positions, if a mere technician (which was my position usually) "showed them up." So they usually ignored me and hid my ideas and then others (who usually failed to acknowledge my initiatory efforts) then ran with the idea, although they always then failed to fully utilize them properly and completely. Only one engineer (Bob Abraham at Pertec) acknowledged my technological creativity adequately to include me as a patent author.
• My creativity level is directly related to my lovemaking with woman. Although my main joy in life is in lovemaking with a happy and accepting trim woman, I have extreme difficulty in getting such a woman to receive me anymore; my last romance was ten years ago in 1990, for example. So although lovemaking with woman is something that greatly strengthens my technological creativity (and also other kinds of creativity), when no woman is receiving me this way, my creativity is generally at a low ebb. My general lack of social skills, and now my age, appearantly block women from being interested in me these days.

Things that were more weaknesses than strengths

• Failed to finish college, probably because of too many fields of interests in science resulting in being somewhat unfocused as to endeavor (started out in college [NMSU] as a Physics major then for the last semester changed to Psychology major, as illustrative of this), having to work my way through school, experiencing great grief at being abandoned when I left for college by the young woman I thought to be my lifetime mate, getting a shrieking case of loud Tinnitus in both ears soon after starting college and took about 4 years to decide I wasn't going crazy because of it (and this noisy affliction continues to this day), and the ratio to men to women in the college (NMSU) was 12 to 1 which meant a shy man like me didn't have a chance to date co-eds. Lack of a college degree, or an advanced one, usually makes academically-oriented people ignore me, and makes engineers/managers often suspicious of my technological creative efforts.
• I tend to be shy and socially awkward, thus not easy to proclaim what I have to say.
• Usually my living situation is barely above the survival mode, putting my main effort in the development of my ideas, instead of my career which supplies the funds for my needs. Thus life is an ongoing great struggle for me, while I do my best to create and diseminate these potentially important concepts.

Concurrent influential events

• Lack of finances slowed my purchasing computer and modem to get my concept out into the world. It was about 1988 before I was able to purchase a used modem (300 baud rate) for my Adam Coleco Computer and began uploading files on KESTS and other space project concepts to the GEnie computer network Space and Science Library. Then the only usual feedback I got was iritation and interference by vocal others.
• When I began to put my advanced ideas out into the world via the GEnie computer network, I frequently found the various low-rent rooms and apartments I rented during the time had been broken into while I as at work, apartment managers saying that plainclothsmen entered because of reports of various claimed wrongdoings ("growing marijuana in my room", and "hiding a mexican woman wanted in a murder case", for example).. which did not help my reputation much either.. and once officially entered, my low-rent residences were then frequently pilfered by experts who left little trace of their activity except for the missing files. Actually, the theft of my files began when I lived in the San Jose Bay area after I had attempted to get interest in a new ground commute concept from a auto research organization, but those were theft nearly  all my writings on the ground commute concept, not yet the ones on space. Although my Mooncable Project writings were vandalized where I had the documents in hiding in the years after my ife divoriced me, in the latter 1979's appearantly.
• Although the academically esteemed people at Princeton's Space Studies Institute were tolerant enough of me to publish my earlier "Wet Launch of Prefab Habitat Modules" in their procedings in 1995, they were not tolerant enough to allow publication in 1997 of my paper "Kinetically Supported Electrically Powered Transportation Structures" although they did allow me to present it (my presentation skills are weak, note) at forum during the conference, but then acted angry toward me thereafter, and continues to do to this day.
