Mister B: Living With A 98-Year-Old Rocket Scientist

Mister B: Living with a 98-Year-Old Rocket Scientist, is a humorous 351 page compilation of scientific memoirs that matter in world history, for the cold war, and to aerospace. Like Forest Gump & Tuesdays with Morrie.What Aesop and his fables are to children, Mister B and his memoirs are to adults. Born in 1916, to a Polish speaking mother, Joseph Byk begins his early schooling in rope-tied-baggy-pants-poverty. He is every teachers' dreaded student. Ending his senior year at Woonsocket High, Rhode Island, however, he begs a high school counselor to help him make up the deficiencies in his missing math education. Why? Because, suddenly, he aspires to design vehicles that defy gravity. Mister B eventually helps design the space shuttle Gemini, the first moon landing gear for Apollo and the beginnings of Google Earth.
