           I started my work at NASA at the Langley Research Centre (LRC) in Hampton,
     Virginia. This is primarily an R & D centre for advanced aerospace technology.
     One of my most vivid memories of LRC is of apiece of sculpture depicting a charioteer
     driving two horses, one representine scientific research and the other Lechnological
     development, metaphorically encapsulating the interconnection betwccn research
     and deveIopment.

           From LRC I went to the Goddard Spacp Flight Centre (GSFC) at Greenbell
     Maryland. This Centre develops and manages most of NASA's earth-orbiting science
     and applications satellites. It operates NASA's tracking networks for all space
     nussions. Towards the end of my visit, I went to the Wallops Flight Faciliw at Wallops
     Island in East Coast, Virginia. This place was the base for NASA's sounding rocket
     programme. Here, I saw a painting prominently displayed in the reception lobby. It
     depicted a battle scene with a fcw rockets flying in the background. A painting
     with this theme should be the most commonplacc thing ai a Flight Facility, but the
     painting caught my eye because the soldiers on the side launching thc rockets were
     not white, but dark-skinned, with the racial features of people found in South Asia.
     One day, my curiosity got the better of me, drawing me towards the painting. It
     turned out to be Tipu Sultan's army fighting the British. l'he painting depicted a
     fact forgotten in Tipu's own country but commemorated here on the other side of
     the planet. I was happy Lo see an Indian glorified by NASA as a hero of warfare
     rocketry.

          Real history should deal, not with a few individuals here and there, but with
     the people who make up a nation, who work and by their labour produce the
     necessaries and luxuries of life, and who in a thousand dilferent ways act and react
     on each other. Such a history of a man would really be a fascinating story. It would
     be the story of man's struggle through the ages against Nature and the elements,
     against wild beasts and the Jungle and, last and most difficult ol.all, against some of
     his own kind who have tried to keep him down and to exploit him lor their own
     benefit. It is the story of man's struggle for a living. And because, in order to live
     certain things like - food and shelter and clothing in cold climates, are necessary,
     those who have controlled these necessities have lorded it over inan. The rulers and
     the bosses have had authority because they owned or controlled some essentials of
     livelihood, and their control gave them the power to starve people into submission.
     And so we see the strange sight of large masses being exploited by the comparatively
     few; of some who earn without working at all, and of vast numbers who work but
     earn very little.
