Nicholas Green was born in Harare, Zimbabwe and was destined to love space. In 1971 his grandfather met Neil and Janet Armstrong at a banquet in Johannesburg, South Africa, and brought a souvenir program and the story of the meeting home. Then in April 1975, he saw the Apollo and Soyuz capsules chasing across the night sky from his parents' front yard. Later that year Nicholas moved, with his parents, to South Africa, where he grew up. Along the way he continued to be fascinated by space and watched STS-1 (Columbia) launch on April 12, 1981 from a camper beside a lagoon on South Africa’s Wild Coast. He also obtained Bachelor’s degrees in Commerce, Accounting Science and Computer Science and became one of the first people in South Africa to obtain the CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) certification. He then moved to the United States, where he has lived in Silicon Valley; Columbia Maryland, and now Wilson, North Carolina. More importantly, he has visited NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, Space Camp in Huntington Alabama, NASA Wallops, in Virginia, NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and many visits to NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, including three open house days where the public gets a behind the scenes look, which included seeing the Lunar Reconnaissance Obiter while it was being tested and a partially assembled James Webb Space Telescope. Nicholas lives in Wilson, North Carolina with equally space obsessed wife, son and a Standard Poodle.
