I doubt if my dad will ever get credit for anything. But on occasion I feel like complaining about it. Once Space X introduced Starlink satellites, its value jumped from 52 billion to an astonishing 120 billion according to the Morgan Stanley report in Sept 2018. But you will never see the name of Philip Rosten who developed laser communication between satellites from the late 1960's and early 1970's [at TRW]. That is the very system that connects the Starlink satellites one to the other.

And forget about seeing his name as the leader of one of the two teams that developed the U-2 camera.

Or the inventor of the InfraRed vision system used in night vision googles and in the USA satellites that use Infra-Red [Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS)].  

[The family name was Rosenblum, but he decided to change it because he was a captain in the USAF and after the war he had to interrogate Germans and sign their release papers. The trouble of signing Rosenblum hundreds of thousands of times, made him decide to shorten his name once he would get a chance.]
