Wow, this is some inspiration right here. Never too late! Also, do you have a pain, build a solutions! Congrats to that retired engineer!
From your comment and some other comments and the way the article is written I gather that the engineers age is seen as something novel.
Do people really see 63 as an newsworthy fact? Not trying to troll, I honestly wonder. It is 4 years from retirement in my country and I see many other achievements come from much older people.
I just don't see 63 as anything special or old.
