Welcome to FREA
FREA, Inc., the Foundation for Research of the Enzmann Archive in Massachusetts, was founded out of passion and dedication to preserve and publish the life’s work of two extraordinary people: Dr. Robert and Joanna Enzmann. Their many decades of unpublished research in the field of space exploration and mission planning and all that needs to be learned for humans to colonize space is a national treasure. Their work from the stone age to the space age is unique and extraordinary.
Our mission is to preserve, catalog, and publish this vast collection of papers and manuscripts and make them available and accessible to everyone.
Discover: The Enzmann Starship
Don’t miss the Starship Gallery of fan art. Based on the design developed by Dr. Enzmann in the late 1940s, the Enzmann Starship is a nuclear pulse interstellar ship fueled by a 3-million-ton ball of frozen deuterium. Published in Analog Magazine in 1972, this starship gained popularity among sci-fi enthusiasts and the engineering world of space exploration. This flyby is the excellent work of Nick Stevens.

Testimonials
“The Archive at its core is a story of us as humans, our history, and our potential. That is why this Archive is so important to be published and codified, for I’ve never seen a project so ambitious, so culture-shatteringly immense. In conclusion, we are simply the custodians of the Archive, but FREA, in truth, is the history and future of humanity.”
– Edmund Devine
FREA Historian
“It was fascinating to read about Dr. Enzmann’s thoughts on technological developments and our future as our society selected its development. His notes and sketches will provide the educational community many discussion opportunities of the engineering discipline and engineering ethics as well as a chance for those who are interested to recreate some of the thoughts covered in the publication – perhaps using our most current technology.”

“I see Bob Enzmann’s work as being one of the few things that the public can latch onto that will enable everyone to have a greater vision of humanity, a greater chance of survival for humanity, and something that will truly begin to lift us up and become an advanced civilization.”
