What is something you enjoy talking about?
I have a few things I enjoy. I love talking about space, the unexplained, and occasionally politics. It's better for me to discuss these things face to face, rather than online.

It was a long slog with much to learn, in spite of the basic celestial mechanics & rocket basics being understood.
The US was lucky that Werner von Braun, before interest from the Third Reich, was in a very serious group of rocket enthusiasts, who built rocket engines & test stands to measure thrust...and that they could get him, some V-2s, etc.
Since you are interested in typography, you should also claim Knuth couldn't have invented \TeX when he supposedly did, because it took too long to create Adobe.
