Eugene F. Lally was involved with the US space program from the beginning, starting in 1955, before Sputnik. He is considered a driving technical force and helped promote spaceflight through many papers delivered at American Rocket Society conventions.
Yesterday I got an email from Eugene in which he wanted to bring me up to date from 1961. One of the most interesting programs he's into at the moment is the Kepler Mission.
It has the most advanced digital camera to this date. It will discover Earth-size planets orbiting distant stars and uses a camera/photometer looking at stars to find planets that is based on his original on board digital camera from the 1961 paper he gave while at JPL for a manned Mars Mission concept.
