George Heights, born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, on June 24, 1937, into a family of fishermen, was among the first engineers to join the Apollo program in 1961.
Inspired by the worlds of science fiction in Campbell's novels, such as The Black Star Passes and Islands of Space, he dreamed of exploring the cosmos.
However, three years later, his ideas drew the scrutiny of national security authorities. Discriminated against and labeled a "political risk", he was removed from the program, and that dream drifted away.
Inspired by the colors of the organization he worked for, he was the one who suggested using white instead of silver-gray for the Apollo program suits.
George returned to New Bedford, to the family's small nautical supply shop, where the scent of salt and the rhythm of the sea intertwined with memories of the stars he once sought to reach.
On July 19, 1969, George suddenly passed away from a heart attack, leaving behind two sons, Robert and James. They inherited the shop, which over time grew into a global manufacturer and exporter of marine equipment and underwater drones. Yet, they never forgot their father's dream.
From that enduring vision comes Nemo Heights today: a pioneering metropolis of the deep, where adventure, innovation, and the spirit of exploration converge.
