I. Skyward grew up fascinated with science, nature, and the wonders of the universe, as well as a steady diet of science fiction and comic books. Together these forces forged in him a belief that we are not alone in the vastness of our universe, and that hopefully the aliens out there are curious scientists and not world conquering marauders. A firm believer in empirical evidence and scientific methods, he looks forward to the day when it's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that alien life exists.
