An aerospace engineer may work in a government company, like National Aeronautical and Space Administration, or may work for General Electric and help design and process newer and efficient jet engines. But overall, it really does not matter whether an aerospace engineer works for the government or a private firm, they all are innovating a better transportation method for both on and off Earth. They may also partake in designing newer cars, but getting involved in the innovating the frame, which will increase efficiency in gas consumption. Although the pay is not a contribution to my personal decision, I feel that working on items that are improving this world today is heroic and …show more content…
On August 12th, 1977, the first flight test was conducted as the shuttle performing a landing (Lewis 10). The test eventually assisted the space shuttle program to help advance aerospace technology. But however, although the shuttle was a result of an innovation, the costs were great too; each launch cost 13.4 billion dollars as 5.1 billion went to launching items such as fuel and the rest was spent of payloads for the mission (Lewis 35). Another item that was well spent from that cost was the invention of the heat shield. This system is allowed for “orbiters to reenter the atmosphere safely without burning up” (Lewis 87). This attachment also improved safety in transportation in extreme environments. This change modernized our technology, and so did new inventions that will consistently keep daily lives
