Join us as we talk with Sam Skielnik ('87), Field and Launch Support at Aerojet Rocketdyne, and Misty Pearson ('08), Mockup Manager in the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility at NASA, about their experience working in the space industry - from space propulsion to the International Space Station, from powering rockets to training astronauts! Norman Reese, a 1991 alumn, former NASA employee, and current Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering here at LeTourneau University, join us as co-host for this conversation.
