Howdy. I used to be a senior scientist for the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope project with Hughes STX at Goddard Space Flight Center ( NASA), in Greenbelt, Maryland near Washington, D.C.

. Our most recent mission was Astro-2. As you can see here, launch was a religious experience as I watched form the payload control center.

I spent a lot of time in the excellent GSFC Library reading recent articles on topics such as involve multi-wavelength studies of massive stars (their formation and early evolution). If that interests you, check out the Hot Star Newsletter. My thesis was an anlysis of the 30 Doradus star formation region.

 A truly amusing, thought-provoking, and relevant quote here.
