Fellow rocket scientist and my undergrad advisor at Embry-Riddle Dr. Michael Fabian takes us on an epic series of short stories about his life and what he has done along the way. From the first few people I sent this to, it has been extremely popular, and I plan on having a round two with him in the Spring when we can really sit down and chat.
