Growing up around military air bases, young Bill tried to understand his father's mysterious world-the world of aviation and quiet people who dedicate their lives to great causes. As an adult, he found a place in that world. His role was to help create rockets that might keep his homeland safe, if a new war erupted. Then, when it didn't, he was glad to point those same rockets... TO THE MOON Technology became the means to an extraordinary human accomplishment.
