Shouldn't this page be moved to "Robert L. Forward"? --Naddy 03:37, 23 Nov 2003 (UTC)
I was about to rewrite the following text for style/grammar, but then I deleted it because the first three paragraphs are already stated earlier in the article (better written & wikified), and the last two are factually questionable (he didn't make any nanotubes, and I can't tell what the antigravity statement refers to):
- He studied Antimatter propulsion and tried to make the very first Antimatter Engine for a Spaceship.
- He was involved in Gravity Wave detection using Lasers.
- He proposed using Lasers to propel Spaceships into orbit.
- He wrote the very first articles on how to really make Gravity Control before E. Plodkletnov had success and how to make Antigravity devices.
- He pioneered Solid Metastable Helium as a form of rocket propulsion and made Carbon Nanotubes made of Fullerenes to make cables to reach Outer Space by Elevator.

Could someone split this page up? I would think that with the popularity of Beast Wars, Bob Forward, Robert L. Forward's son, would have his own page. On clicking the name Bob Forward, I first thought that father and son were the same person.
I actually didn't know that Robert L. Forward was Bob Forward's son until I actually read this article. Bob Forward has been created. --Victor (talk) 07:40, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
