Box 57524 – Webster, TX 77598 Website:www.aiaahouston.org The AIAA Houston Section Annual Awards Dinner In Honor of Jim McLane is scheduled for Thursday, June 13, 2013 from 5:30 – 9:00 p.m. James C. McLane Jr. (1923-2012) was the 1971-1972 AIAA Houston Section Chair, during which time the newsletter was started. Years later the newsletter obtained its current name, Horizons. The Houston Section hosted quite a few dinner meetings while McLane was Chair, including a dinner meeting with a presentation called, “God, Science and Technology.” The NASA Apollo 15 and 16 missions took place during McLane’s year as Chair. McLane formed a Chinese sister section relationship in 1987 with the Shanghai Astronautical Society, a tradition which continues in 2013 thanks to Marlo Graves. At the Dinner we welcome Dr. Harold “Sonny” White for his talk on Warp Field Physics at NASA JSC Gilruth Center Alamo Ballroom. Enjoy dinner and the company of friends and colleagues as we honor AIAA Houston members and learn about faster-than-light (FTL) travel from Dr. White who is located right here at Johnson Space Center. Dr. White currently serves as the Advanced Propulsion Theme Lead for the NASA Engineering Directorate and is the JSC representative to the Nuclear Systems Working Group. In his role, Dr. White is serving to help the Agency incorporate high TRL advanced power and propulsion technologies into near and mid-term human exploration architectures. He is also pursuing theoretical and laboratory research on developing lower TRL advanced propulsion and power technologies in the advanced propulsion physics laboratory known as Eagleworks that is located at the Johnson Space Center.
