DANDRIDGE M. COLE

'Dandridge MacFarlan Cole' (born February 19, 1921^[1] in Sandusky, Ohio) was an aerospace engineer, futurist, lecturer, and author.
He was known especially for promoting the idea of colonizing the asteroids, or "planetoids" as he argued they should more properly be called. The planetoids could be hollowed out, or actually inflated to create a bubbleworld with habitable space on the inside. The resulting space arks could orbit within the solar system, or be sent out on interstellar expeditions.
Cole died on October 29, 1965^{[2] [3]}at King of Prussia, Pennsylvania
