My Space Odyssey began many years ago at my High School in Ingleside, Texas. On this night, our science class gathered together with our science teacher. We were to track a Russian Satellite, named Sputnik-1 across the sky. But my journey in Space and Faith really began as I was looking up at the unreachable Moon. The moon was a metaphor for the unattainable: “You might as well ask for the moon”, they used to say. Now with Sputnik, my dreams can be a reality. Bill Bell wants to share his space and Faith journey with you. I was blessed on my journey by a loving God, who made each day at NASA an adventure and a dream come true. My career working for NASA began at the Saturn V Rocket Facility in New Orleans, La. It was here that I become friends with two rocket scientist. Their names are Wernher Von Braun, who was in charge of The Saturn V Rocket Program and a Russian Scientist named Rubin. I followed my dream by supporting NASA at Johnson Space Center, in the field of Safety and Mission Assurance (S&MA). It has allowed me to work with Astronauts for their Spacewalks, Apollo Moon Missions, and the International Space Station.
Please take Bill’s simple story of Faith and let it inspire you to begin your own Journey.
