	Robert L Forward, 1932-2002 - SFWA News
		Forward was born 15 August 1932 in Geneva, New York.
		Forward was one of the early pioneers in the field of experimental gravitational radiation astronomy.
		Forward also published the first paper showing that it was possible to build and operate a laser interferometer gravitational radiation antenna that was photon noise limited over the band from 1-20 kHz, and that further improvements in gravitational strain sensitivity needed only more laser power and longer lengths in the interferometer arms.

	Telegraph \| News \| Robert Forward
		Robert Forward, who died last Saturday aged 70, was a science fiction writer who turned to the genre after a career as a scientist specialising in "exotic physics", space propulsion and gravitation.
		Robert Lull Forward was born at Geneva, New York, on August 15 1932, and educated at the University of Maryland, from which he graduated in Physics in 1954.
		Forward, an unmissable sight at science fiction conventions in his bespoke suit, white shirt and bow tie, and the coloured waistcoats run up by his wife (he had a couple of dozen), maintained a holiday home in Reay, between Wick and Thurso in the far north of Scotland, for the last 15 years.

	Forward, Robert L (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Forward, too, is a fairly well-known scientist, with a PhD in Gravitational Physics, lots of patents, a successful consulting company, etc..
		I first came across Forward twenty-odd years ago (longer, if you count Larry Niven's literary references to him) in the pages of Analog, when that magazine published some extracts from "Dragon's Egg", his first novel.
		I think Forward was merely trying to say that in the future men and women won't necessarily have the same appearances that they do now, probably because a lot of SF either ignores the issue or just assumes people will go on looking the same.

	The Singing Diamond by Robert L. Forward
		Robert L. Forward is a Ph.D. who has specialized in gravitational physics; until his early retirement he was employed for most of his career as a researcher in industry.
		Then it occurred to Forward that he could do it himself, and he wrote the novel Dragon's Egg (1980), hard sf in the tradition of Hal Clement that made him world-famous with his first book.
		Physics, astronomy and space technology are Forward's playgrounds, and he is generally at his best in Hal Clement territory, describing carefully conceived alien settings and beings in the clear, unornamented prose of science writing.

		Physicist and science-fiction author Robert Lull Forward died on 21 September 2002 in Seattle, Washington, from brain cancer.
		Forward lived up to his name: His thinking was well ahead of his time, and he was known for a positive, supportive, and playful manner.
		Of Forward's many innovations, some were realized in his life, but most will likely emerge in 21st-century space propulsion and gravitational wave detection.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Saturn Rukh
		Robert L. Forward's hard SF novel, Saturn Rukh, sees a multi-national consortium send a team of six astronauts to mine precious meta, a helium fuel source, from the Saturnian atmosphere.
		Apparently, none of the crew members have taken time to read the literature on their spacecraft, the mission, or their destination since Forward constantly is having characters explaining to each other, as a form of data dump, what the mission is, Saturn's parameters and the abilities of their equipment.
		Unfortunately, there is little suspense in their activities because, based on his plotting throughout the novel, Forward has made it apparent that he is willing to allow his characters to suddenly remember things that they all should have known the entire time.
