A short history of the Star Defenders...

It all started back in... oh, 3rd grade or something.

My best friend and I have been inspired by Buzz Lightyear to go into outer space and fight aliens. In the world of my elementary school playground, we rode spaceships and blasted extraterrestrial foes.

And thus started what would eventually become the Star Defenders.

How did I get into space exploration? I think I know why. I was longing for another world.

A fantasy world.

And my best friend was interested in astronomy and space.

So the realms of outer space became my fantasy world.

Really, though, my desire for a fantasy world came from a desire for something greater than this world. In fact, through it all, what I really wanted was to go Home. And my fantasy worlds would reflect this desire to go to that great Place awaiting all of us.

Perhaps this is why I like reading--and writing--fantasy/sci-fi stuff.

Now, why I like mathematics... that's a different story.
