Wow! Amazing.
So much fear-mongering.
If you are still in touch with this person, I hope you will tell him thanks for his dedication.
I hear from his folks now and then. We don’t talk much anymore because Dad morphed from a Biology lab assistant at UF to full professor and his once sensible economic and social views morphed right along with his career.Austen Eliazar is the son and you can probably find him on line. He is not with NASA any more because he found out he can make loads more money in Silicon Valley and was frustrated at NASA because NASA was spinning its wheels and had no apparent further aim and now he is making even more in the Health field as a research co-ordinator, whatever that is.
