Terry, you do move fast!! I haven't even had breakfast and you are pecking away at the keyboard. Well, I'm magnanimous enough to congratulate you on some achievements. That's nice to see. Definitely all action stuff. Not much comtemplative bliss in your list, though sitting in the Himalayas with monks would have given you the opportunity to consider the possibility. So congratulations on those things. Being a real rocket fuel fan, I have to admire your help in Appollo - and the fact that you have a pretty broad view.
But married twice and several mistresses? Have you been adding to human happiness? I guess you are pretty geriatric if working on the Apollo project so a lot of water will have flowed under the bridge and things happen. Any children? Or are you the end of the line?
Since you were polite in your post, and I operate on tit for tat principles - keeps things nicely in harmony that way, I better reciprocate.
How has my life been? Well, in a word, wonderful. I have been married once, have four great children, have lived on three continents, been on four, been to about 30 countries, flown the fastest single engine non-jet plane in NZ, retired at age 39 in 1989 based on my own efforts, write rot on the web, helped change the NZ government in 1984, and again in 1996, helped end the cold war, [you think I'm kidding] got voting for 18 year olds introduced in NZ. Negotiated with Brussels bureacrats for commercial freedom. Got lead out of petrol [speaking English!] in NZ, and more stuff but this is getting silly. But most importantly, I've been happy. Well, most of the time - people die and things, which makes me sad for a time.
