Great things are happening

Beginning in the late 1950s, the USA and USSR began an intense competition to reach outer space. The Space Race, as it became known, led to technological achievements and milestones in human history. Today, let’s discuss the space race, the first humans in space and on the moon, the new space race that is developing right now, and learn some useful space related vocabulary! https://lnkd.in/eUJqtXrf

🚀 Blast Off to the 39th Space Symposium: A Journey of Collaboration, Innovation, and Stellar Impact! 🌌 Hello, space aficionados and trailblazers! This week we launched into the heart of aerospace and defense innovation, joining a pivotal gathering of the industry's most powerful players. 👀 Seeing the Future Unfold Before Our Eyes The Symposium was our front-row seat to the future, showcasing the latest in materials processing, spacecraft design, propulsion technology, and more... 🛠️ Crafting Excellence: Precision Process, Flawless Execution We're committed to a process that tolerates no error, crucial in an industry where the stakes are sky-high. Our focus on eliminating manufacturing flaws ensures that our partners can trust in the reliability and efficiency of every component we produce. 🔧 Empowering the Architects of the Skies A standout moment was watching our manufacturing team witness the impact of their work. Their dedication, often behind the scenes, is crucial in bringing our aerospace customer visions to life, highlighting the importance of precision in our field. 🌍 The Impact: Pioneering a Future Beyond the Stars Our efforts today are laying the groundwork for a safer, more efficient future in space exploration. By refining our processes and pushing the limits of materials processing, we're not just contributing to the aerospace industry; we're helping to unlock new possibilities for humanity, allowing our customers to focus on their mission and end-game instead of worrying about materials processing. Reflecting on our time at the 39th Space Symposium fills us with a sense of purpose and excitement for what lies ahead. 🌠

Join us as we convene a panel discussion around innovation in three areas of Pacific Northwest leadership: Space Data, manufacturing, and human spaceflight.
