Very sad to hear, Chuck was a great guy and I agree completely with you Mike.
He was certainly a force in NewSpace and will be missed for who he was, what he
has done and what more he could have accomplished. Spent many a happy
SpaceAccess and other conferences talking with him and having the obligatory
after conference drink or two as well.

Don't know if you all have seen it, because arocket seems to have again ceased
transmitting to me, but Chuck Lauer passed away on March 28, 2021.

Chuck was a friend of mine for nearly 20 years, and was, IMHO, the most
energetic, enthusiastic, and indefatigable NewSpace entrepreneur of all time.
His visionary projects were always backed by a depth of research and knowledge
that kept him in the top ranks of the space entrepreneurs. He was known and
respected in Japan and Europe, as well.
It's a great loss to us all. Rest in peace, my friend. And Ad Astra.
