WOW,, all you guys and nobody works on boats? Im the Service Manager at the Marina I work at. Been at it a few years, was a marine tech (mostly outboard motors) Before that, I spent 6 years in the USAF and payed my dues..3 of those years were spent in Minot ND...you guys know what I mean.

 

When were you at Minot? I have a friend who was stationed there in the mid 90's. She was a POL troop.

 

I work as a support engineer (electrical) for NASA. We develop in-space propulsion technologies to get robotic (and human, with President Bush's new exploration initiative) spacecraft from Earth to destinations in the solar system. Our office is developing the next generation of electric propulsion, aerocapture technology, advanced chemical propulsion, and electrodynamic tethers.

This is really neat stuff to work on. The heatshield technology used on the recent MER rover missions is being adapted and advanced by our office to perform aerocapture which uses the atmosphere of a planet to slow a spacecraft and establish a circular science orbit. By flying deep into the atmosphere, the resulting friction slows the spacecraft which saves having to transport fuel and an engine to slow down at the destination which can be hundreds of kilograms. Of course, if the heatshield and navigation software don't perform as expected you end up with huge fireball or a lander instead of an orbiter .

Sorry I guess I got excited.....

I also spent six years in the Marine Corps Reserve. I was in artillery; fire direction control.
