—My older brother Philip, the =ocket scientist, died That night, I went on Google and found out, for the =irst time, about his career, which began as a member of first hired =roup of physicists at NASA in 1958 (to work on Project Mercury =longside Alan Shepard and John Glenn) and his work as one of the =egendary "MAD scientists of MPD" in using plasma =hysics to provide the rocket thrust to achieve reliable orbit; and =ulminated as the technical head of the amazingly successful NASA/FAA =ffort to improve passenger aircraft safety. Who knew? We never had a =onversation about it and we did stay in touch over the years. See the =iece I wrote and the obit in the local NASA paper below.

—Anyone I should see in =ondon?? My Al project is taking off. I believe it will be the only =seful book as no one in the project is in the bag.
