The Bernal Sphere, painted by Rick Guidice
The wonderful graphic on the cover of my book, “Time Of Destruction” is a painting of the inside of the L-4 Space Colony, called a “Bernal Sphere.” The painting, used by permission of NASA, was created by Rick Guidice.
The Bernal sphere was first proposed in 1929 by John Bernal. It is a type of space habitat that would be filled with air and allow people to live in it long term.

Neil Armstrong Autographed my Time Magazine Cover
Would you believe Neil Armstrong autographed my Time Magazine cover. The inscription says,
“To John Meyer— with best wishes, Neil Armstrong,”
I also framed the first day of issue, cancelled Apollo 11 envelope that actually has an Apollo 11 moon landing stamp. Yeah! It’s way cool!
Neil Alden Armstrong was the first American astronaut to walk on the Moon.
John C. Meyer with Clyde William Tombaugh
In 1987, John C. Meyer is with Clyde William Tombaugh, the man who discovered the planet Pluto.
Clyde was an American astronomer who discovered Pluto in 1930, which was the first object to be discovered in what would later be identified as the Kuiper belt. Tombaugh also discovered many asteroids.

Jim Lovell and John C. Meyer
In 1994, John C. Meyer met Jim Lovell during a book signing of the book, “Lost Moon”. The book is his telling of the story of Apollo 13.
Jim Lovell co-authored this book that was used for the 1995 film “Apollo 13”, but Jim is best known as the NASA astronaut who flew to the moon. In 1970 he also commanded the Apollo 13 lunar mission and he was the only person in the world who flew to the moon twice.
