NASA pioneer, Robert Jastrow, and his outlook beyond science.
Robert Jastrow was the founder and head of
the NASA Goddard Space Center.
But his interests went beyond science.
I quote him:
"For the past 300 years, scientists have scaled the
mountain of ignorance, and as they pull themselves over the final rock,
they are greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there
for centuries."
