I went from running a group of 10 people doing research to running an organization with about 750 people, doing work on the U-2 high altitude spyplanes, the Kuiper Airborne Observatory (an infrared flying telescope built on a modified cargo jet), the infrared astronomical satellite, the Galileo probe to Jupiter. Using the Infrared Astronomical Satellite as their guide, the researchers identified two other neighboring stars that looked to be equally young.
