[Announcement] Richard (Rick) Hieb from the University of Colorado in Boulder will give a virtual talk titled: “Thoughts on Building a Career in Aerospace Engineering” on Thursday, October 1, 15:00-16:00 HST. Zoom: https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/99861316992
Abstract – NASA and the space programs of the world have helped make aerospace engineering one of the most highly sought after fields for technically oriented individuals. Mr. Hieb will speak about his experiences in building a career that began as a specialist engineer in rendezvous and proximity operations as the Space Shuttle program began, and led to an opportunity to apply for and be selected as an American astronaut. After three space missions as a mission specialist astronaut, Mr. Hieb spent 20 years as an industry executive, culminating in a vice president position at Lockheed Martin where he was responsible for more than $1B in sales each year. From his experience as an individual contributor and as a leader, he will speak to the skills and attributes needed to build a successful career in aerospace engineering, or really any highly technical field.
About the Speaker – Richard (Rick) Hieb was selected as a NASA astronaut in June 1985 and flew on STS-39 in 1991, STS-49 in 1992, and STS-65 in 1994. He has logged more than 750 hours in space, including more than 17 hours of extra-vehicular activity (spacewalk).
Hieb began his career as an aerospace engineer with NASA, working in Mission Operations. He was in Mission Control for the first Space Shuttle launch in 1981, and was involved in many shuttle missions in various roles, becoming an expert in rendezvous and satellite deploy and retrieve missions. Selected as an astronaut in 1985, For most people, his most well-known flight was the maiden voyage of Endeavour, which was built to replace the lost Challenger Space Shuttle. The 1992 Endeavour flight was a satellite rescue mission that involved a number of high profile spacewalks, culminating in the first and only three person spacewalk where Rick and his colleagues captured a 9000 pound satellite in their spacesuit gloved hands. They then attached the satellite to a booster rocket, and released it, sending it safely on its way to the originally intended orbit. In addition to being the only three person spacewalk in history, this held the record for more than ten years as the longest ever spacewalk, at just under eight and a half hours.
In 1995 Rick left NASA to enter private industry, where he spent 20 years as an aerospace executive, starting as the Vice President, Commercial Space for AlliedSignal (later Honeywell) Corporation. He was then VP, Crew Return Vehicle Program, Orbital Sciences Corporation; VP, Science, Engineering, Analysis and Test Contract, Lockheed Martin Technical Services; and finally, VP, Exploration and Science, Lockheed Martin Information Systems and Global Services. He is currently a Scholar in Residence instructor at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
Hieb received a Bachelor of Arts degree in math and physics from Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, Idaho, in 1977, graduating with highest honors, and a Master of Science degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Colorado in 1979.
This is the appropriate blog for anybody who needs to seek out out about this topic. You understand a lot its nearly onerous to argue with you (not that I actually would want匟aHa). You positively put a new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, simply nice!
I am a little discombobulated about your article?

Excess food will accumulate at the bottom and cause
bacterial growth and cloud water. I suggest feeding your
fish with all the standard betta food pellets by
dropping in only one pellet at any given time, perhaps a few times per
day.
One other issue is that if you are in a situation where you will not have a cosigner then you may really want to try to exhaust all of your school funding options. You will find many grants or loans and other free college funding that will ensure that you get finances that can help with education expenses. Thanks alot : ) for the post.

Thanks for your post. One other thing is always that individual American states have their very own laws which affect people, which makes it quite difficult for the our lawmakers to come up with a different set of guidelines concerning foreclosures on homeowners. The problem is that a state has own laws which may interact in an undesirable manner on the subject of foreclosure insurance policies.

I believe that avoiding highly processed foods is the first step for you to lose weight. They will taste beneficial, but refined foods contain very little nutritional value, making you take more to have enough vitality to get throughout the day. When you are constantly having these foods, transferring to whole grain products and other complex carbohydrates will let you have more strength while feeding on less. Good blog post.
