New York Times, Friday, July 21, 1989 (page A11) carried the obituary for George Koopman, founder of the American Rocket Company (AMROC). He was killed when his car overturned on the way to the Air Force Astronautics Laboratory at Edwards AFB, California. George was a man with a vision and the capacity to overcome towering obstacles in the way of space commercialization. He will be sadly missed -- especially by those of us who knew him..

Addition: Koopman was killed Wednesday.
Correction: Koopman was a co-founder (not THE founder) of AMROC.
Other principals were Bevin McKinney and Jim Bennett (who
has had a lot to do with commercial space legislation).
