From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hartriono Benjamin Sastrowardoyo (born May 19, 1969) is an American journalist reporting for the Metro section of the Asbury Park Press, as well as its Community (features) section. Born in New York City, he considers Brentwood, Long Island, his hometown. He was educated at the State University of New York at Oneonta, graduating in 1990.

From 1990 to 1992, Sastrowardoyo worked on the national and foreign desks of The New York Times. From 1992 to 2002, he was a freelance writer whose interview subjects included actors[1][2] and astronauts. In 2001, he was invited to the annual dinner of the Explorers Club[3] in New York City because of his support of the American space program and also because of his website, Space Center Shadowstar (since taken down), devoted to the history of astronautics (including information on astronauts and astronaut-candidates from the United Kingdom, Canada and Indonesia).

Some of Sastrowardoyo's interviews and profiles of astronauts were published in Spaceflight, the official magazine of the British Interplanetary Society as well as in BIS' Voyage, aimed at schoolchildren.

From 2002 to 2004, he was editor of Community News, a weekly newspaper in Browns Mills, New Jersey. For his other print and online publications, please see below.

Sastrowardoyo is also a short-story writer and photographer, and has been the subject of articles that appeared in the now-defunct eBay Magazine as well as Newsday.
