on this VERY day long ago our childhood TELSTAR I was launched.... and so was my
fascination with Sat Com- <br>For those of you Non-space science folk this is
sure to be a memory though ... and a great song by Joe Meek of UK but a hit
indeed for the VENTURES (60s music buddies can add to this ) </div>
<div>John R. Pierce of Bell Labs fame was the father of TELSTAR, and later in my
life to become a great friend and of mine and a friend to the SMECC museum
project. In addition A.C. Dickieson, the project manager for TELSTAR, ended up
retiring in Sun City here and I got to know him as well. Add to that James Early
who did device development for the Telstar Project another great mind and a
great friend...Unfortunately all have passed on many years ago.....add to that
Eugene O'Neill and other... and look below in comments and you will see some
other articles about TELSTAR by some people I was happy to call my friends... I
miss them all but thankful to have had the time I did with them. ok lets listen
to the TELSTAR song by the Ventures....</div>
