He also holds an Ocean Going Yacht Master and glider pilot qualifications and is therefore competent as a professional seaman and both ocean and aviation navigator using this garnered expertise in his practical scientific research on the satellite/inertial systems resulting in scientific publications. In the fields of physics, astronomy and their history, and the philosophy of science, he has researched the theories of Copernicus, Newton, and Einstein in a Space
