Bryan Stern and his Project Dynamo security team in Poland after completing the mission to rescue American scientist John Spor.The Lonestar mission played out like an intense war drama worthy of the great fiction writers of our times. Only it’s not fiction.
“My field that I basically have been working in for a long time is electro-optics, and a lot of it has to do with military stuff like laser-guided weapons, laser range-finding, LED displays. I mean, my company here in Texas builds one of the sensors in the Abrams tank and tells the gun where to point,” Spor said in a phone interview. “Just about all of the weapons systems that have been built and whatnot in the last 20 years or so, I’ve been involved in at some point.
“I saw myself living there until I die, basically. And now, I can’t even go back to my house and, believe this, 90 percent of Mariupol, the houses are destroyed. My house is still there almost totally undamaged.”His wife safely got out before him, but it took much longer for Spor to make his way out of the country.
“There’s just about 900 data points that we played with for context,” Stern said. “Just for example, we got him a set of crutches. Part of our thing was to make him kind of handicap, right, an invalid. We gave him old, crappy, nasty crutches. It looks like he’s had it for his entire life.
