I talked about it Tuesday on The Space Show. https://thespaceshow.com/show/14-mar-2023/broadcast-4000-richard-easton
Well, thank you! I will have to watch it.
My physics prof, Dr RICHARD Mara worked on Vanguard. I learned about this when he explained Sputnik to us. I minored in Physics and eventually worked on AF satellites and launch vehicles. So thanks to your Dad, Dr Mara and many others who inspired me.
