I was a machinist/tool maker for CDA Intercorp in Deerfield Bch Fl. In addition to working on all the latest military hardware such as the F 22 fighter, we made parts for most satellites. We also were instrumental in the first Hubble telescope repair and have many applications on the JWST that will replace the hubble over 1,000,000 miles out. We have built parts on all the Mars rovers etc. We completed building components for future missions that I couldn't possibly live long enough to see arrive at their destination in space.
