My dad, Roger Easton, helped write the 1955 proposal for the Naval Research Lab the nod to launch the first satellite. He tinkered with the Vanguard 1 on our dining room table. I’m wearing the red coat in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msLSW1U1t1U (it’s the Vanguard 1 satellite a week or two before its launch).
