What Building a Spaceship Is Like
Posted by Chris Radcliff in News on November 5, 2008
SD Space board member James Pura spent some time as an intern at SpaceX this summer, and he’s written an article at Discovery Space about it:
I was one of these interns, and what was in store for me was plenty enough to make my heart beat just a little faster for the rest of my life.
A spacecraft meant to ferry people calls for a window, so I was given the task to design a testing apparatus (from scratch) for the windows on SpaceX’s Dragon capsule.
It’s an inspiring story; taking an active role in the new space revolution is something we all hope to do. James recently shared his experiences with us at an SD Space program meeting. Please join us for the next one; you never know who you might meet.
