About the Author

J. Sandrock grew up traveling the world in an Air Force family, graduating from the American Embassy School in Delhi, India. Sandrock lives in Salt Lake City, Utah with his beloved bride Mindi. His three kiddos Jacob, Rachel, and Paige are his forever pride and joy.

Following in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps, he served 24 years wearing Air Force Blue, with assignments in Germany, Italy, Guam, several U.S. states, and deployments to the Middle East.

Upon retirement from the military in 2014, he taught high school science for seven years (Earth Science & Astronomy) in one of Utah’s largest high schools, where he expanded the Astro program to become one of the finest in the state.

Graduates of Granger High Astronomy are reminded of their two remaining homework assignments: the first is due when humanity sets foot on Mars, and the second, when Comet Halley returns in 2061.

To all who can imagine what awaits us beyond the horizon . . . may you live long and prosper.
