- p46 Bell claims 1965, Caltech Gary Flandro invented "Grand Tour", little credit until 1998 NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal.
- probably not accurate
- Kohlhase p104: 1961, gravity assist invented by 25 yo Michael A. Minovitch, mathematician grad student at JPL, 1962, Grand Tour
- 1964 Max Hunter writes about it, 1965 Flandro works out details.
Flandro: You have to learn not to be discouraged by experts
- p68 11,000 work-years devoted to Voyager, 1/3 of the labor force for the Great Pyramid at Giza for King Cheops

- p81 re. Voyager disks, Hawking said we are simply not evolved enough to make contact.
- Analogies to aboriginal contacts invalid; most damage was disease, we have science and can figure things out, contact will be very slow.
