Athelstan Spilhaus

Spilhaus is standing to the right during the announcement of plans for the building and launching of the world's first human-made satellite, July 29, 1955. (NASA) Athelstan Frederick Spilhaus (November 25, 1911 – March 30, 1998) was a South African-American geophysicist and oceanographer. Among other accomplishments, Spilhaus is credited with proposing the establishment of Sea Grant Colleges at a meeting of the American Fisheries Society in 1963 as a parallel to the successful land-grant university system, which he claimed was "one of the best investments this nation ever made. The same kind of imagination and foresight should be applied to the exploration of the sea." Provided by Wikipedia
