One of his earliest published works illustrates the parallel, preserving thought and design at a prophetic moment, shortly before Wright's genius an... [Read More]

Kennedy astonished the world on May 25, 1961, when he announced to Congress that the United States should land a man on the Moon by 1970.

When Kennedy announced that goal, no one knew how to navigate to the Moon. No one knew how to build a rocket big enough to reach the Moon, or how to build a computer small enough (and powe...
