“Talking face to
face with him about his life was nothing like reading about his
accomplishments from a book. Although the inner workings of a satellite
don’t often interest me, when Anderson was passionately describing his work
I couldn’t help but be captivated.” – Denise Feirstein
“Chemistry in
high school is interesting and fun, but the answers are there for us to
learn, not discover. We do experiments with some kind of knowledge of what
the answer will be…doing experiments without an answer key is a whole new
ballgame.”- Matt Baboulis
“I was shocked.
He turned out to be a genuinely nice man who cared about his scientific
work…I was half expecting a bitter scientist who was mad at what the world
had come to.”- Rebecca Kolakoski
“I could see
myself pursuing a similar lifestyle.”- Josh Levy
“What he saw
as ramblings were, to those of us who weren’t world-renowned scientists,
fascinating insights into the world of scientific research.” - Robert
Hoffman
“He began
discussing his early work in satellites and we began to piece together how
integral those original ideas and inspirations are now to our current way of
life.” - Robert Hoffman
“It is a rare opportunity for a child of the Internet
age to sit down and reflect upon a time when short-wave radio was the most
high tech of pursuits, the heavens were still distant and seemingly
unreachable and a computer with less processing power than an iPod took up
a floor of a ground space. That is precisely the opportunity my oral
history interview with Roy E. Anderson afforded my classmates and me.” -
