..... the provision of vital new technology which has improved the life of everyone on this planet. As a founding engineer of NASA in 1959 and the Communications Satellite Corporation in 1963, I have seen the technology developed originally for space now commonly applied to medicine, telecommunications, manufacturing, navigation, entertainment, resource discovery, weather forecasting and a whole range of other important efforts benefiting the people of this world.
The benefits come in many forms, some direct like navigation using the GPS (Global Positioning System), while many come indirectly such as improved productivity from space derived machining operations.
For the last 15 years, I have lead the engineering efforts in development of
satellite radio which even now in its infancy lets over two million subscribers enjoy over 120 channels of audio music and voice programming in their cars, homes and boats throughout the United States. Future space activities will continue these benefits on an accelerated basis.
