Rocket Scientist
Semi-finalist for the Holman Prize
The inspiration for the prize is James Holman, (1786-1857) known in his time as the Blind Traveler. He traveled alone around the world, publishing several books about his travels. Widely known in his day he was regarded as either a marvel or a fraud, he was mostly forgotten after his death until the 2006 publication of Jason Roberts’ biography, A Sense of the World: How a Blind Man Became History’s Greatest Traveler,
