Virginia Norwood, 96, was the "Mother" of satellite imaging systems. She died March 27, 2023. Quotable Quotes: "I never had doubts about the MSS, because I designed it and knew it would work." "It was all fun. And when something is fun, you just keep at it." "[Don't] accept other people's negativity. If somebody says, 'You can't do it,' I sort of prick up my ears and decide that I'll do it."
