The Interstellar Age
Jim Bell - Central 919.9204 B4338i 2015
The Arizona State University scientist James F. Bell 1965, not the anarchist Jim Bell 1958.
Voyager 1 is the first functional space probe in interstellar space, crossing the heliopause at in 2012. Voyager 2 crossed in 2018. Both spacecraft are still transmitting data as I write this.
Bell was born in Rhode Island, loved the Apollo missions as a young child, and had an 8 inch Meade telescope as a teenager. Only PBS had science shows ... mostly NOVA. Carl Sagan's 1980 Cosmos inspired him to be a scientist. Viking was "astounding", but Voyager was "irresistible".
