PROMONTORY, Utah — From escaping earth's orbit to going to the moon and beyond, rockets have powered mankind's space exploration — and a lot of these endeavors to the stars are thanks to a little-known facility in Utah.
Images of NASA's six space shuttles and their missions have been etched into the history books and into our memories — which, without the solid rocket boosters made here in Utah, would not have been possible. His job is to make sure all of the rocket's technology is integrated together properly, and it has its root in a tried and true place.
After all the tests, math, science and sleepless nights, there was one thing that proved tricky: painting the NASA logo on the boosters.
