Aerospace and Space Industry in Michigan - Part 1

Let me start this out with an old press conference from last September. Despite it's age, I think it is key to the direction that Michigan should keep its eye towards. Michigan has such a long history of manufacturing, engineering and innovation that an aerospace industry capacity is something we need to develop. By aerospace, I think more of the "space" part. But helicopter parts is a good start .

There is also a Michigan Space Grant Consortium:

"The vision and mission of the Michigan Space Grant Consortium are to foster awareness of, education in, and research on space-related science and technology in Michigan. Its mission is to create, develop, and promote programs that support its vision and reflect NASA strategic interests, and encourage cooperation between academia, industry, state and local government in space-related science and technology in Michigan.
