This is an interview I spoke on years ago about speaking with someone from NASA about blinging out a space shuttle, besides that I wanted to know whats going on in Mars and on Earth. I was concerned about UFO's and so I called NASA to find out what the LDSD experiment was all about. Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Raymond French who serves as the deputy manager of the Technology Demonstrations Mission (TDM) Program Office located at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The TDM program oversees a portfolio of technology demonstration flight projects led by NASA centers and industry partners across the country for NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate in Washington.
The TDM program focuses on crosscutting technologies, with strong customer interest that meet the needs of NASA and industry by enabling new missions or greatly enhancing existing ones. Chosen technologies will be thoroughly ground-tested and flight-tested -- reducing risks to future flight missions, gaining operational heritage and continuing NASA’s long history as a technological leader. Tune in to find out about the experiment and all things related to NASA's technology on Earth and in Space!
