For centuries, man has utilized skills, knowledge, and resources to explore the heavens and beyond. We built instruments to observe the skies. We designed machines so we could take flight. The aerospace industry has allowed what used to seem impossible to become ordinary—flying from one country to another, crossing oceans and time zones. Through aerospace engineering, we’ve designed and manufactured machines that have brought humans to the moon. Science tells us that most of the elements that make up the human body were formed in stars*. As we are made of stardust, it is only natural that mankind is always striving to know more, to see more—constantly looking up in wonder.
