96-year-old former NASA rocket scientist seeks true love

At 96, retired rocket scientist Sol Rosenblatt is embarking on a new chapter, seeking a companion to share his twilight years. Rosenblatt, a resident of Manhattan's Battery Park City, previously contributed to NASA's esteemed Apollo program. His search for love comes after the loss of his wife of 69 years in 2023.

Through a matchmaker named Brigitte Weil, Rosenblatt has gone on several lunch dates with women in their 70s and 80s. While these women have expressed fondness for him and are open to further meetings, their intentions lean towards companionship for activities like going to the movies or museums. Rosenblatt, however, is looking for a more profound connection – a partner to live with.

Weil initially doubted the possibility of finding a romantic match for a man of Rosenblatt's age. However, upon meeting him, she was struck by his vitality, noting he doesn't appear as old as his years suggest. The dates have been pleasant, but a romantic spark has yet to ignite.

Rosenblatt has expressed a specific desire for a partner who is not only attractive but also possesses scientific knowledge, perhaps reflecting his own lifelong passion and career. Despite the challenges, his pursuit of love at 96 highlights that it is never too late to find companionship and connection.
