Rocket Bike
It always surprises me how small the world is. Turns out that the brother of a PAS employee had a hand in the rocket design for Rutan’s SpaceShip One.
And the other day, I met a guy who went to elementary school with Bill Gates.
But what really made the world small was when my sister-in-law told me that her sister’s brother-in-law is Bernie Ebbers of Worldcom fame. Yuck. That is one milkman too close to me.
Back to the rocket scientist. As I see it,
- All rocket scientists are Super-Gee’s
- All Super-Gee’s are different than the rest of us
- Different people do strange & wonderful things
With that background, how about this? Here’s a picture of a PAS employee’s brother riding a rocket bike! Zero 60 mph in seconds flat. Look out Lance!
Turns out that this guy even created a rocket bike for his daughter. Lower thrust of course and no flames. Top speed 30mph. Safe even for kids of regular folks. So…. if you’re looking for that special Christmas gift start you better start checking out eBay now!!
Seriously though, Mr. Pickens is a for-real rocket scientist - the founder of Orion Propulsion.
These Super-Gee’s are all over the place - really! I know for a fact that there are more than one of them at PAS, and they are probably in your company too!
