The Canduit Project took shape because of my concern about near earth orbit meteorites and the lack of a definite plan to deflect them.

As far as I am concerned the time to start is now before we get clobbered like the dinosaurs. However, trying to prevent the destruction of the human race is not as sexy as war making.

The book is cleverly written and very enjoyable to read. It is a flight of fancy from beginning to end, but it includes a trip around the world in the airship Wachenburg, a trip to the moon via the Canduit Spacestation and a journey in a time machine with professor Bernstein, also known as Twelvestein, because he is twelve times as smart as Einstein.

Werner Rettig was born in Rimbach Germany in 1931.

He grew up in Weinheim, Germany and went to school there. In 1945 he started his apprenticeship as an industrial electrician.

When work got scarce, in 1951, he decided to go to Canada and became, in time, a happy Canadian. He could be called a do it yourself person since he likes to build machinery, buildings and furniture.
