marlinls Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The Houbolts are good friends of ours. now just mary, i talk to her quite a bit. we met them at the Berkshire Hathaway meeting in 1998. He got us on the moon in 1969. it just happened that i was in Computer Simulation in the mid sixties. i flew the spacecraft by computer at that time to see if it would work. i programmed differential equations into analog computers.
