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".
p13 Voyager had 10 project managers, but only one project scientist, Edward C. Stone
namesake of asteroid 5841 Stone
p20 "Don't anthropomorphize the spacecraft, they don't like it" -- attributed to project manager John Casani
