JULIETTE WEILAND & CO. - PRWeb Press Release Account Feed http://www.rsspad.com/rss2a/152306.xml JULIETTE WEILAND & CO. - Press Releases en xml@emediawire.com xml@emediawire.com 30 In His Third Book, Travels of a Thermodynamicist, Dr. Rick Fleeter Reveals the Key Ingredient to Success as a Rocket Scientist and in Life -- the Ability and Inclination to Remain Constantly in Motion http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/05/prweb908844.htm Dr. Rick Fleeter, father of small-satellite technology, recently launched his third book, Travels of a Thermodynamicist, which reveals the key ingredient to success as a rocket scientist and in life -- the ability and inclination to remain constantly in motion. Dr. Fleeter is founder and president of AeroAstro, a small spacecraft company that pioneered satellites the size of a laptop computer. When not traveling the world in airlines and trains, he relaxes by traveling the world by bike, racking up over 15,000 miles per year. For variety, he swims open water and runs marathons in Ironman competition. Dr. Fleeter, admittedly motion obsessed, reached the epiphany that a full life can no more exclude travel than an ocean wave can not break on the beach or not flow back to the sea. His collection of essays, humorous, often times thought-provoking, and filled with sincere, unexpected, sometimes poetic observations of a rocket scientist on a personal trajectory, delight, stir and capture the reader. Travels of a Thermodynamicist is available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon and Outskirts Press. (PRWeb May 8, 2008)
