My Dad, Roger Easton, designed the Space Fence. It helped inspire GPS. Grrrr
I hate seeing that muslim jackal in the White House who is posing as our president tearing down the country and dismantling the work of great men like your father, whose shoes he isn't qualified to shine in my opinion. America has lost it's mind to have elected him.
Richard, your father has inspired many advancements in space situational awareness, this system being one of his Crown Jewels. We are working hard to save it, but placing hope in Congress to stop the closure is a long shot at best. Check out the Discovery Channel show “America’s Most Secret Structures”. Hokey in the conspiracy theory, but shows some good shots of Jordan Lake Tx station. The miss information about the system abounds, none of the stories is getting right and the Marketing branches of both the developers of the S-Band replacement are selling a poor replacement.
Other than the location, he loved every minute of it.
Not just sad, but pathetic that the perfumed princes in the Pentagon care more for their own career than the country they are defending.
That’s very cool my FRiend :-)
It would be fun to chat with your dad about it.
I just read the article you wrote about this... nice.
