Space Technology/Exploration Professionals: Who Are They?

[thinkies]

Also,how does an astronomy Ph.D degree supplement a master's degree in astronautical engineering? I was just reading an article regarding the phoenix program(mars and all that stuff)and it grew my fascination for astronautical engineering even more (WoW?)^.^.

Here it goes, blame it on my curiosity/excitement for bumping this thread again.

What are the advantages with an M.Eng. degree in astronautical engineering?Is a M.A.Sc degree better?Does the M.A.Sc degree leads to better positions?

Also, is it true that Ph.D simply consist of research, are there any courses that are thought? (Depending on the specialization, right?) So that would mean if I am more of a practical guy in this field, I can simply obtain a M.A.Sc degree and get into, let's say, Lockheed Martin and be part of some programs regarding building a spacecraft or satellites,etc, right?

MASc is a research oriented degree where you typically do less coursework and there is a thesis component where you do some research and its more of a preparation to do Phd studies. Whereas MEng degrees are more coursework based and usually with a practical project of some kind. Both degress still allow you to do Phd studies or compete for a high end job. The only distinction between the two is what is involved in the curriculum between them. Incidentally, the MASc usually has better funding opportunities while you will most likely pay out of pocket for an MEng.

Thanks makethings.

Yeah

Listen, don't take this the wrong way thinkies, but your grammar is quite annoying. Do you purposely make random words plural? I've read a number of your posts since I've been a member, and it's great to see someone as interested in physics studies as you are, but you do seem to purposely warp words. It's good to see someone like yourself so interested in their future, but it's really quite aggravating reading some of your posts.

Does anyone agree? Or am I just being a little rough on the kid?

I don't purposely make random words plural . I usually type fast...I'll try to pay more attention to my grammar.
