Andrews Space
Dana Andrews talking about the company (founded by his son). "Largest unheard-of aerospace company." Now at seventy people, and growing fast.
Lot of work for a lot of people. Formed in 1999. Got started without investors, by doing small contracts for NASA and the Air Force. Double in size and revenue every year. Between fifteen and twenty million in revenue expected this year. They are hiring.
They have a system for going to the moon and Mars that would cost roughly half of ESAS. NASA's Orion module that they show the press was actually built by Andrews, by removing their logo and replacing it with the meatball. Mix of old Boeing veterans with young "computer wizards" who are being mentored. Work NASA, commercial, DoD, split equally, with all three expanding. Woman-owned disadvantaged business (his daughter-in-law is CEO, and Korean--woman who raised Kistler's first major funding).
