Travels Through Time, Space and Beyond - The Scientist and the Rebbe - First Person: " jovial, eighty-year-old, bearded Chabad chassid was once at the forefront of the newly developing National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) program.

“When people ask me how I became an observant Jew, I tell them that I’ll drop them a line when I become one,” Professor Greene says with his trademark smile. “I’m still a work in progress.”

“But aren’t you a chassid?” people ask in surprise.

“But aren’t you a chassid?” people ask in surprise“My wife always says,” the professor answers, “the word ‘chassid’ is like the word ‘intellectual’—someone else has to call you one!”"
