If you could ask any question about space flight, space habitation, or the space program, what would it be?

I may have one more chance to interview the NASA engineer who has provided me such great feedback on the technical passages in Prometheus Rebound. But this would be a Q&A session, just for fun, not book-related. So send me your questions — I’d love to pass them along!

Barring discovery of any new issues, I’ll be going into full publication and marketing mode soon after I receive their feedback.
