Wall Street Journal had an enlightening article this weekend titled
"Fleeing the Czars, Defying Gravity: A Fourth of July Immigrant Tale." It leads up to the career of astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman, pictured above, who was part of the missions to keep the Hubble Space Telescope operating properly. Hoffman retired from NASA in 1997 and is now a
professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT. You can read more about his career
