What do you like about working at NASA?

"Well technically I was working within the NASA-JSC community as a Lockheed Martin or Jacobs Technology contractor as purchased labor to NASA-JSC. And upon closer reading also other contractors Johnson Engineering Rockwell etc. What I liked was learning engineering and sciences in different area of the NASA community. Rotations included on-board communications, flight crew systems, radioastronomical, Command and data handling, environmental systems, human factors, life sciences, solar systems exploration, reliability and safety. I enjoy leaning and changes in all these area provide a well rounded engineer and the added benefit of Program Management skills isn't a bad measuring stick. I've learned so much from the NASA - JSC community and I'm grateful."
