via innate transgenerational epigenetic inheritance:

1946,........ my maternal grandfather was at Crossroads,...

1959,......... my paternal grandfather was a "mission controller" for SNAP,...

personal investment:

1969,...... my first science fair exhibit,....RTGs Promise Free Power for All Americans,....

it was 1969, I was still a dreamer and Star Trek was only 20 years away from being reality,...

the "real world" started in 1980,... ;)

1980. Staring into the inside of a S/G bowl, about to jump in.

Thinking, "What the heck did I get myself into?"

A pretty good career, turns out.
