Inside NASA's Super Guppy

Postby XR219 » Tue Jan 11, 2011 5:01 pm

Given the Guppy interest on here, I thought people might be interested in this shot of two T-38s inside NASA's Super Guppy:

If the Gnat that arrived at Bruntingthorpe last year ever goes missing, I think I know the first place to look... ;)

You know what, if she had a hangar to live in, we'd make the effort. Just not worth it when she's outside 365 days a year

What do I need to study for getting a job at NASA as a scientist ? I am an Indian student studying an 11th standard.I want to know the studies required to get a job at NASA as a scientist when I have completed my studies?

Allyshan::::::::::::::

Welcome to Iconic Aircraft!

I would think that your school would have this
kind of information, and they might even have
some graduates who work for NASA. Some of
your instructors, too, might have NASA contacts.

I also believe that somewhere amongst the
various NASA websites there are ways to make
this kind of inquiry.

I know there have been recent cutbacks, so
hiring is probably limited at this time, but
one never knows.

NASA also has many, many subcontractors and
working for one of those companies might make
an attractive alternative.

There must be many paths to your goal of working
in this field, and if you are truly committed to
this kind of work, you will get there!
