I began my professional life as an electrical engineer on
the Apollo project (1967), original development of the Ion engine (1967-69) used on almost all space missions, the 1st Manned Mars mission including the nuclear rocket for takeoff & landing on earth & mars (1968-69) cancelled in 1969. As a nuclear engineer/physicist I worked on development of the 1st commercial liquid metal breeder reactor (1973-84) cancelled 1984 and then on the development of the 1st fusion reactor (1984-85) cancelled 1985.
I also worked and as a Director of Engineering on the Space Station project 1987-94 until President Clinton moved the headquarters from Reston, VA to the Johnson Space Center in 1994.
I also worked on MANY black projects during the last 20 yrs of my career.
I have tried/started to write my autobiography several times but have not been able to get very far. I hope to change that.
