Two NASA videos (one from 1989)

This is me when I was young and good looking. A NASA video right around the time of Voyager's visit to Neptune. Back then, scientists got their spacecraft data from 8-track tapes and computer printouts. My group experimented with graphical displays on UNIX workstations which could visualize the data in real-time. I tried to graft that high-end capability to the measly IBM PC, which back then had the crappiest graphics ever.


And here's the longer video: "My Life As A Geek - My Decade at NASA and the Inventions that Got Me There", a lecture I gave in Copenhagen when I was there giving a seminar in 2012. Grab some popcorn and enjoy!
