Welcome to
Athena Roberts'
Web Site!
Hello! :-)
My name is Athena Roberts and I live in the United States. This website contains information about things I enjoy and that I am involved in.
About me: I have a pilot certificate for both helicopters and airplanes and around 200 hours in each. For airplanes, I've flown mostly Cessna 152's and 172's. For helicopters, I've flown Robinson R22's and R44's. I'm passionate about aerospace and one of my desires is to help make access to outer space more affordable.
I'm always looking to increase the amount of personal freedom I enjoy. That means I like to save money, invest it and stay out of debt. It also means I support treating all others as equals by supporting peaceful, respectful, voluntary and empathetic interaction between all people and promoting reason, evidence, curiosity and the scientific method as a way of gaining knowledge. Having other people in my life who practice those values is important to me.
