While there have obviously been updates andtechnological advances since that time, many of theconcepts in that first book are still in use today.Bob grew up in New York City, got a BSEE, andworked on NASA projects such as Apollo, LunarExcursion Module, and the Earth ResourcesTechnology Satellite. He then went on to get anMSEE and MBA, and worked for a company thatworked on the Lunar Rover.
