    Lots of experience and direct knowledge of Ray…..

    Horrible manager….no focus….idea guy where absolutely nothing gets but the
    next idea session.

    He spent 3 years fighting with his former boss (Woodrow Whitlow) and
    travelling with his girlfriend all over the country on NASAs dime….Quite
    the catch there at the Florida Space Institute.

    Hope you are not expecting much because…..thats exactly what you will
    get in this deal.

      I’d be willing to bet that he will flourish at FSI. He has a background that covers many, many things across the agency. You need someone like that. He has many things in his head that you just can’t find with Google.

        Yup, this is critical these days. New approaches and new tech are going to be critical for space activities, as many present heritage-based approaches demonstrate their long-term unsustainable and unscalable nature.

        I would agree. A detail man isn’t the big need. UCF already has strong upper management and an idea guy could be helpful in identifying opportunities for them and raising their profile.
