Summary

When William first peered through the school telescope, his imagination soared.

As a boy, he dreamed of reaching the planets. As a man, he helped the world take its first steps into space.

From the fizz of failed experiments to the roar of rockets, it was curiosity that lit the way.

William Pickering didn’t just study the stars.

He brought us closer to them.
