Cool! I’m sure your father looked back on that project with great pride.
He sure did. He went on to lead the program to develop large wind turbines at GE, the things dotting the US countryside from coast to coast. After that, they picked him to lead an ultra-secret satellite program in the 90s. All he could tell me about that was “Son, you cannot believe how important this is to national security.” To this day, I don’t know what it was. One of my bosses in Silicon Valley was a captain in the Air Force who worked at the Blue Cube and knew the project. All he would say was “Your dad was right.”
