The central character of a collection of short stories, he is an astronaut who once worked for NASA. He has been described variously as a pioneer, an entrepreneur, an insatiable ladies' man, and a thorough rogue - the first space cowboy, if you like. His name please!

'Push the button, pull the switch, cut the beam... make it march!' - another excellent character! But you're right, it ain't Lazarus Long!
