My Story
I graduated from UCLA just as the space race was getting underway. I was soon drawn into that effort and spent my career as an electrical engineer working on NASA’s manned space programs,
including Saturn/Apollo, Skylab, Space Shuttle, and Space Station
Freedom/International Space Station.
During that time, I worked in a
variety of capacities including development, test, and launch operations at the Kennedy
Space Center; flight controller training, flight operations and flight plan analysis at the Johnson Space Center.
​
Once I retired, I turned to my first love: Writing. I am the author three published books, with a fourth coming in 2024.
He currently resides in Houston, Texas.
Book raves
I commend Marvin Pipher's writing and storytelling skills for he vividly describes each scene in a way that the readers can feel and understand all of Marty's hurdles. It is evident that the author intricately organized everything from top to bottom and that resulted to this work of art.
