 Doreen Forsythe has been passionate about the space program
since Sputnik and really loves sharing her excitement with others. She
moved to Huntsville, AL in 1974 and became very involved in the NASA
community there and has had the pleasure of working with some members of
the VonBraun rocket team. She greatly misses her friend, Dr. Ernst
Stuhlinger who actually pushed the button to launch the Explorer I
satellite (the first satellite US launched in response to Sputnik). Dr.
Stuhlinger died the day the Mars Polar Lander, Phoenix, landed on Mars.
This is ironic, because Ernst has such a passion for Mars and loved
taking to people about the day when we will walk on Mars.
Doreen
is also really eager for the day when we will walk
on the moon again, and on Mars. She loves talking
about the Constellation program.
