                           About John G. Bluck, author

                          John G. Bluck retired from NASA as a public affairs officer. Previously, he was the Chief of Imaging Technology at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif. Before that, he worked at NASA Lewis (now Glenn) Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio, where he produced numerous NASA documentaries for television. Earlier in his career he was a broadcast engineer for the ABC radio network at WMAL-AM/FM, Washington, DC. At WMAL-TV (now WJLA-TV), in Washington he was a news film cameraman who covered local news, crime, sports, and politics including Watergate. In 1976 he was named the National Press Photographer Association runner-up cameraman of the year in the Northeast. In addition, he was a member of the White House News Photographers’ Association. During the Vietnam War he was an Army journalist at Ft. Lewis, Washington.


                           

                          My name is John G. Bluck, and I care about science-fiction and science-fact and how they could affect our world's future. I retired from NASA as public affairs officer and spokesman. Because of my position and 30 years of work at the agency I learned a lot about cutting edge technology. I'm very interested in new developments at NASA and other organizations, their people, new discoveries, inventions, science, and engineering. I'm writing books, articles, and stories about these advances. I don't want to report just what's new. I also hope to speculate about how our new knowledge and know-how as well as future inventions may affect our freedoms, our governments, and our societies -- how the new could be good, bad, or somewhere in between.
