I completed high school in 1946 and obtained a bachelor of arts degree in 1950. In 1953, I received a master of science degree in physics. I worked at the Westinghouse Bettis Plant in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, working on power plants for submarines.
In October 1962, I became interested in nuclear rocketry and moved to Canoga Park, California, to be part of a team to design a rocket mission to Mars. In 1974, I moved to Long Island and worked at the Brookhaven National Laboratory until retirement, at which time I took up writing. My book Shandelee was published in 2009; Andrew Johnson’s Circle Trip, in 2011; and John Brown’s Virginia Raid, in January 2013.lihat lebih sedikit
