Steven Schwarcz
With all the talk of testing of youngsters on subjects like math and science, we thought it was time to hear a story of how kids fall in love with science.
Back in 1962 when the space race was on, Georg Deutsch approached Steven Schwarcz in the lunch line at junior high and asked, "Do you want to start a rocket society?" That encounter started a relationship that would last for decades, span several rocket experiments, and see their launching of the first non-governmental satellite. Georg and Steven cut class to study rocket science, visited top scientists - and even today, they watch closely when satellites go into space.
They talk to Dick Gordon about their adventures in rocket science as young men, launching rockets - both legally and illegally.
