Shey began his career and achieved tremendous success. He started working @LockheedMartin, where over 28 years he ascended to become Director of Spacecraft Design at its Space Systems company and also led design/production of @USNavy’s first mobile user voice/data satellite. 7/9 https://t.co/NVjp9C6gRa — PolitiTweet.org

Unfortunately, this entire time, his parents were stuck in Iran. After the Islamic Revolution in 1979, they couldn’t get out. Little did Shey know when he left Iran at 16 that he would not see them in person again for—17 years. And there were only occasional phone calls. 6/9 — PolitiTweet.org

Remarkably, he finished high school, then did well enough to get into and graduate from @NDSU with a degree in electrical and electronics engineering. He later also completed advanced coursework at places like @CarnegieMellon and @umterps. 5/9 https://t.co/YbyVOXHlgp — PolitiTweet.org

He started high school in Houston. One problem: he didn’t speak English. Fortunately, a kindly teacher spent extra time with him and helped him learn. Another problem: his uncle soon had to move to Minnesota. Shey had little choice but to stay. He was completely on his own. 4/9 — PolitiTweet.org

In the late 1970s, when he was 16, his parents sent him to America. They gave him several thousand dollars—all the money they had—and sent him to Houston, in the care of an uncle. 3/9 — PolitiTweet.org

Shey was born and brought up in Iran. As a boy in 1969, he watched the Moon landing on television. He was transfixed by Neil Armstrong setting foot on the Moon, and decided around that time on two things: he wanted to devote his life to space and he wanted to come to America. 2/9 https://t.co/e7jCpT5O5c — PolitiTweet.org

I recently had the honor of meeting @Shey_Sabripour. He’s the CEO of a satellite company, @CesiumAstro, that’s developed innovative active phase array technology. Cool stuff. But what’s even more impressive is Shey’s life story, which to me is the American story. Here it is. 1/ https://t.co/x14sSAeePF — PolitiTweet.org

Two women were exploring Madison's Lake Mendota on underwater scooters when they saw something made of wood jutting out of the bottom of the lake. It turned out to be a 1,200-year-old dugout canoe—"the oldest intact boat ever found in Wisconsin waters." https://t.co/B37lWjLNle — PolitiTweet.org

OTD in 1936, Edwin Armstrong presented a paper to the NY chapter of the Institute of Radio Engineers. He argued that his vision for a new method of transmission—FM radio—was "technically possible" and "greatly superior" to AM. In 1941, commercial FM was authorized and went live. https://t.co/3fE7it0ox9 — PolitiTweet.org

“Are we still making his kind? I believe the answer to that question is up to us. To honor his legacy, I hope we do more than consign him to the history books. I hope we recommit ourselves to being a nation where we are *still* making his kind.” 🇺🇸 https://t.co/AhIJF1wKrt — PolitiTweet.org

12,000 years ago, comets "exploded together in the skies over [Chile], causing tornado-force winds, scorching a wet, grassy landscape, and scattering the area with warped and twisted glass that still contains minerals generally found only in meteorites." https://t.co/5WZ747gC03 — PolitiTweet.org
