" To be curious is to be human "
Born for
escape velocity
Born in 1978 near the historic V1 rocket test site in Peenemünde, Germany. In 1984, his family escaped East Germany — trading one kind of confinement for infinite possibility.
Raised in Vienna by an electrical engineer father and radio operator mother, young Lennart consumed every science book his library held, attending university lectures on orbital mechanics before he was a teenager. That hunger never stopped.
Today: CTO of Byte Federal, creator of Marscoin®, author of 30+ books, fluent in six languages (including Latin, Sanskrit, and Pali), and one of the final candidates selected from 200,000+ applicants for the MarsOne mission.
Some people dream of escape. Others engineer it.
