He Kaufmann Calls It's just like a mission, he ex- plained. Paul Kaufmann, a junior, developed a great interest in space and related fields. November 1981, when Voyageur II passed by Saturn, Paul was amazed at the extraordi- nary attention NASA gave to the mission of exploration. All this me- dia attention lead him to explore new ideas. His interest was so great that he would like to become an as- tronaut. Paul started constructing small models of rockets and testing them on land, in water, and in the air. These rockets were original cre- ations. He progressed onto larger and more difficult projects like the medium size Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 39A, which took approximately six weeks to assem- ble and complete. Another project Paul did was the Challenger, which fascinated Castle Rock parade goers in 1982. His most recent project was the MMU, Man Maneuvering Unit. Paul has built 54 rockets since his JH' - ,mf-7 L ' f f . f ff, f g , I ...W ,jf has been interested in space and related fields for several years. It His Mission interest began. He was planning on doing sketches of his new ideas, ap- plying concepts relating to space and similar fields. Paul identified finding time for his elaborate projects as one of his biggest challenges. He has found working on his hobby a solitary, one-man operation. In 1982 Paul was featured on Channel 9 News. He lauched his plastic rocket from a homemade pad in front of his home in Surrey Ridge. The television show, PM, Magazine, contacted him about be- ing on their program. The only thing that may prevent Paul from realizing his dream is his vision. Paul stated, I have poor eye sight and to be an astronaut you must have nearly perfect eye sight. Paul is hopeful that this require- ment may become obsolete. If he is unable to become an astronaut due to his vision problem, he would like to be an astronomer and follow the example of Carl Sagan. Gottdenker 147 M
