BORING STUFF: Ernie the Aerospace Engineer After emigrating from Cuba in 1960, Ernie worked for 5 years modifying & racing cars. After his BS in engineering, he got an MS from Caltech. Then he worked 20 years for the  world's  largest  satellite communications firm, first in propulsion research & finally as VicePresident of Projects (see Résumé). He's with a satellite in this photo, & here is his last published paper. He then spent 10 years running 2 jet-engine companies & in 1998  they were sold to Sweden's #2 firm. At 55 he retired, bought a plane he flew for 22 years, traveled & enjoyed his family.
