Dr. Cameron M. Smith of Portland State University's Department of Anthropology began his career excavating million-year-old stone tools in Africa and today combines his archaeological interests in the human past with an evolutionary interest in the human future, including the further exploration and settlement of space. Dr. Smith founded Pacific Spaceflight this year to act as the umbrella of several space-related projects. From 2008-2012 Dr. Smith worked alone to build his low-cost space suit, and in early 2013 began to involve volunteers. In summer 2013 Dr. Smith agreed to make an equal partnership of Pacific Spaceflight and Copenhagen Suborbitals in the quest to put a human into space with low-cost, DIY methods as a demonstration that we don't have to go through the Byzantine structures of NASA or other federal agencies to get moving with space exploration. Recently Dr. Smith presented a paper at the NASA/DARPA '100 Year Starship Study' in Houston, Texas, and gave a Plenary Address at the Mars Society. His recent popular science publications include "Starship Humanity" (Scientific American, Jan. 2013) and the book 'Emigrating Beyond Earth: Human Adaptation and Space Colonization' (Springer-Praxis, 2013). Dr. Smith has been widely interviewed on radio and television, once on the Bob Edwards' Weekend radio program and twice on Dr. Michio Kaku's 'Science Fantastic' radio program, the second time alongside Dr. Robert Zubrin, President of the Mars Society. Dr. Smith is currently scheduled to pilot the Armstrong Line Expedition balloon in 2015.
