I'm a filmmaker who has
always loved aviation. For years, I attended the Muskegon Air Fair in Michigan,
probably 15 in-a-row. Now older, I'm working on a documentary about a kid who
has wanted to be an astronaut since he was three (www.astronautfilm.com). I’m partnering
with industry representatives to understand the importance of math and science in
creating capable students who can take America to the next level of innovation. It's all about the American dream, and that dream is to be an astronaut.
Lockheed Martin has
sponsored the robotics team captained by the young man we are following. I
believe we need companies like Lockheed Martin to continue to advance our nation's
aerospace, military and space exploration technologies. That enables us to
continue to be the best and young people can dream about what is possible
with an idea and hard work.
