The Aero Club of Southern California is deeply saddened by the passing of 2021 Howard Hughes Memorial Award winner Lieutenant Colonel Richard ‘Dick’ Rutan, USAF (Retired). In addition to being an aviation hero, Dick Rutan was a great friend to the Aero Club of Southern California. He attended ACSC events to members’ delight and saved the 2018 HHMA ceremony when the Howard Hughes Memorial Award recipient canceled 24 hours before the ceremony. Dick graciously accepted the award on behalf of the recipient. He warmly greeted and took photos with 250 attendees assuring an entertaining and memorable evening. Dick received the 2021 Howard Hughes Memorial Award for his historic Voyager flight and aviation contributions. His award ceremony was held virtually and included an insightful interview conducted by aviation historian/artist Mike Machat. Our friend Dick Rutan will always be a cherished Aero Club of Southern California family member. We extend our deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. Dick's award ceremony and program are available at https://lnkd.in/g2dt4pUy

Great industries require great leaders. Dan Goldin, NASA Administrator #9, could write the book. Dan is a national treasure.
Advancing 🇺🇸 Deep Tech Innovation | 9th NASA Chief | ISS + Webb + 61 Astronaut Missions
Thinking about how great leaders de-risk really hard, high-risk pursuits for their team: 1 / They start with visualizing success. Those in a command function need to know what the end point looks like. Great leaders know that otherwise you go in a random walk. 2 / They prioritize. Miller's Law of 7 +/- 2. Psychologist George Miller's Law: "People can remember from five to nine (7 +/- 2) things." What's the number one, two, three priority... Great leaders draw a line where it's absolutely essential and make everything else optional. Having 20 priorities is having no priority. 3 / They take personal responsibility. They are willing to risk their reputation and career on de-risking the high risk factors. Example: When you launch astronauts, putting safety of human beings first is the number one objective. If you lead a reusable launch system, before any launch, you must without any doubt assure yourself that there were no anomalies that you couldn't explain root cause on and make a fix. This is the number one rule for a reusable system. 4 / They help people not panic when it gets really dark. There's a natural human reaction to go negative. You could never go negative. If you're in a leadership position, you could privately pray at night. Have your moments with yourself. But you cannot, you could never give up. You could never, ever, ever give up. -- How else do great leaders de-risk really hard pursuits for their people?

Happy Engineers Week! How are you celebrating? 74% of educators agree: Students don’t have many chances to meet engineers. Let's change that! If you know anyone looking for an exciting, rewarding career encourage them to join our club and attend our events. They'll have an opportunity to meet our engineer members who love talking about their careers and the many opportunities in engineering! #NationalEngineeringWeek #welcometothefuture #stemeducation #aeroclubsocal #engineersrock #engineeringcareers

Congratulations to 2022 Henry and Paulette Matson Scholarship winner Mary Kate C.! Mary Kate is presenting her spaceflight accessibility research at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Human Research Program Investigators' Workshop this month. Mary Kate's future is brilliant and we are grateful to be a small part of it!
I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be attending the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Human Research Program Investigators' Workshop to present my research on making spaceflight accessible! Last Fall, I had the honor of being chosen as the first analog astronaut with a prosthetic leg to participate in a mission at the Lunares Research Station in Poland. Collaborating with Lucas Brane, Madison Diamond, and AstroAccess, we aimed to demonstrate the possibilities of inclusive space exploration. Analog missions replicate space conditions on Earth, enabling astronauts and researchers to test technologies, study human behavior, and gauge performance in environments similar to space. Our mission, ICAres-2, focused on assessing the potential of astronauts with disabilities under lunar conditions. We managed to gather crucial data supporting the viability of inclusive space exploration. As a member of the ICAres-2 crew, I underwent two weeks of rigorous training, which covered survival skills for extreme conditions, scuba diving, and outreach activities, leading to the successful completion of our two-week mission and isolation period. Currently, there's a significant lack of data on the accessibility of space exploration, which complicates risk assessments and frequently leads to reluctance in choosing crew members with disabilities. We believe our findings can help shift this perspective, demonstrating that embracing accessible spaceflight solutions not only enhances inclusivity but also contributes to the overall safety of space exploration. Keeping with the theme of research, I also I'm excited to share AstroAccess' research paper, which I had the privilege to contribute to, has been published in Acta Astronautica.

Congratulations to the 2023 Howard Hughes Discovery Award winning NASA James Webb Space Telescope Team! JWST's contributions have been recognized with two new beautiful stamps! In the words of Mike Menzel, NASA JWST Mission Systems Engineer, when accepting the 2023 Howard Hughes Discovery Award, “Many times I have heard folks portray our universe as if it is hiding its mysteries from us. I don’t believe it is hiding anything from us. It is literally raining down the answers to all our questions, all we have to do is have the commitment to look up and see what it is trying to teach us. I look forward to the lessons we will learn from JWST, to the new set of questions that we will ask, and hopefully to the new facilities we will develop to see the answers.”
Two new stamps celebrate our James Webb Space Telescope. The United States Postal Service Priority Mail stamps feature two new images of the Cosmic Cliffs and the Pillars of Creation to honor Webb's achievements as it explores the wonders of the cosmos. https://lnkd.in/eJ8pMgB2
