Holographs aren't lasers. Charles Townes, et al, got the Nobel for
the maser in the '60s. They were American.

And Von Braun pointed out that he learned about rocketry from Robert
Goddard, the father of modern rocketry. Another American.

Quick question, which is nothing to do with lasers or Nobels really:
Is it common in Poland to hear about the achievements of Poles who
succeed after leaving Poland for another country? I know Gabor is
Hungarian, so I'm not asking about him, but what about Pulaski, for
example?
