Remarkable Technologies, Inc. was founded in 1994 by inventor and
entrepreneur, Eric Knight. His vision was to create a company that provides
innovative products and services that enhance business and empower people -- and
those remain our guiding principles today. Fifteen years after the
company's inception, Eric continues as the visionary behind Remarkable
Technologies, Inc. He also provides his time and energies to other
endeavors that have similar lofty goals.
For instance, in May 2003, Eric conceived of the business and brand "UP
Aerospace" and brought it to life via the resources of Remarkable Technologies,
Inc. The company registered the "upaerospace.com" domain name, enabled the
Internet presence, and provided the
initial funding and business platform for this unique aerospace enterprise.
(Here's a
photo of Remarkable's public unveiling of UP Aerospace at NASA's National
Space Grant Conference in 2003.) The business
became a free-standing entity in October 2004, and successfully conducted the
inaugural space launch from Spaceport America in New Mexico on April 28, 2007.
This historic launch included the cremains of Star Trek's "Scotty" James Doohan and NASA astronaut and pioneer L. Gordon Cooper, as well as 50 student
experiments and a number of innovative commercial products. (Historical note: The "Spaceport America" brand and "SpaceportAmerica.com" domain
name were originally created and registered by Eric Knight and Remarkable
Technologies, Inc.)
Even though Eric is involved in many entrepreneurial ventures, he has been
quoted as saying he has a "soft spot" for this particular enterprise he founded
and birthed through Remarkable Technologies, Inc. "It's like watching a child
grow up."
As seen in this picture at the launch pad with his company's SpaceLoft XL
rocket, Eric continues as an owner / lead stockholder of UP Aerospace, Inc., and
a pioneering voice of the "New Space" aerospace industry worldwide. Click

Why wait 20 years to send humans to Mars -- when it may be
possible now?
Eric proposes a unique concept -- using a pair of NASA Space Shuttle
orbiters -- in his just-published thought paper
entitled:
 "MARS
ON A SHOESTRING: A novel method to transport humans to Mars based on a pair of
tethered Space Shuttle orbiters." (Read full thought paper
here.)
Instead of retiring the
Space Shuttles in 2010 as is currently proposed by NASA, Eric proposes to
utilize the vehicles for "...a grand mission...something that would be truly
historic -- even through the lens of time a millennium from now."
Eric's
thought paper describes propulsion, environmental, food and nutrition, and
Mars-landing systems and processes. For some out-of-this-world thinking, view

Remarkable earth-friendly energy source? Take a
look...
With the world searching for energy sources that don't contribute to
global warming, maybe part of the solution is all around us:
tree leaves.
Eric Knight recently published a thought paper entitled:
 "TREE
LEAVES: A FREE SOURCE OF ENERGY, LITERALLY FALLING FROM THE SKY. A
perpetually renewable energy source -- tree leaves -- may be the ideal
earth-friendly biofuel feedstock for the production of ethanol and / or as a
secondary fuel source for power plants."
(Read full paper
here.)
Imagine creating an industry that harvests the countless millions of tons
of leaves that fall each year, and turns this abundant natural resource into
ethanol to power cars and energy systems. Eric postulates if this process can be
applied to corn and soybeans, why not leaves? Intrigued? Take a moment to check

Free emergency-communication system.
We're excited about the evolution of our public-service initiative called the
