Adam K. Johnson

Adam Johnson is an aerospace engineer and adjunct advisor for the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL. He has the envious job of curating the Frederick I. Ordway III Collection, home to the research and behind-the-scenes material amassed by Ordway, science advisor to 2001 A Space Odyssey. In late May 2012, Adam will be presenting a talk on “The Science and Technology of 2001: A Space Odyssey” at Wonderfest with a slideshow of images, 90% of which have never been published, including blueprints, model photos, and much more. You may recognize Adam from his AJA Models, producer of some of the best 2001 resin kits ever!
