Getting help with building/testing space access engineering
Does anyone have any pointers for getting access to people that can
build things? I'm looking for someone to help me test some engineering problems - probably a college student would be best. (Someone with access to cool college equipment is even better). I would pay for materials and time, and they'd probably get to fly out to Chicago occassionally. I've started many companies, and I find that the most successful ones are the ones that I funded myself - with a slow build up. The downside is signing NDAs, filing form 1099s, etc. (Probably the 1099s could be avoided as long as you make under some amount). Initially, I am looking for an Electrical Engineer (or eqivalent). I would also be interested in people that want to build rocket engines. Does anyone have any good ideas on how to find someone? Anybody want to do anything like that? If this is the wrong approach, what do you believe is the right approach? -David |

One gathering of people into doing that sort of thing at considerably less than Big Aerospace prices, in less than three weeks: http://www.space-access.org/updates/sa05info.htm Henry Vanderbilt Executive Director Space Access Society |

David, I'm not sure how you'll get on, but try to outline a couple of the problems you have in mind (nothing too specific) and post it as a potential job on news:\\sci.engr.control Quite a few bright young students and graduates come that way and someone may want to help out.. Good luck Cameron:-) ---------------- Address is spambait - to email me, check the website. |
