DESCRIPTION:California’s Silicon Valley was a ferment of techn
 ology and pure research in this period\, and\nthe 
 epicentre of this development was the Ames Researc
 h Center\, NASA’s premier base facility.\nUnder th
 e direction of people like Gerard Kuiper and Carlt
 on Gillespie\, and despite political resistance\, 
 NASA developed and managed a small fleet of airbor
 ne astronomical instruments\ncapable of laying the
  groundwork for much of modern astronomy. The budg
 etary\, political\, and \ntechnological challenges
  of the two major platform programs\, the Kuiper A
 irborne Observatory and the Stratospheric Observat
 ory for Infrared Astronomy will be discussed\, emp
 hasizing the major discoveries of the KAO team and
  the subsequent development of the 747-based SOFIA
 . \nThe talk will be followed by refreshments outs
 ide the lecture theatre.\nThe talk will be at 7:30
 pm at the usual location of Wolfson lecture theatr
