    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Charles Brian Nelson was born in 1938 in Memphis, Tennessee. He received his first degree in Industrial Design at Tennessee Tech. After he graduated from college in 1960, he went to work with the Depot Company where his job was making Titanium Dioxide. Charles stayed at this job for about 5 years, and by encouragement from his friends, he moved to Huntsville to work at NASA. He started out working at a test lab where they were responsible for getting the test bird into the test stand to test it. This job also included testing of vibrations, engine fire, and testing every individual part. After this job, Charles moved into the human factors engineering group. He worked for NASA for about 12 years.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Charles Dischinger was born and raised in Virginia. As a small child, Charles&#039;s father would drive him over to the Langley Research Center in Virginia, and he was always engaged with the space program. Charles remembers watching every space launch on tv with his dad as a kid. Being inspired by space, he decided to go to The University of Virginia to get his bachelor&#039;s degree in Biology. Then, after graduating, he taught high school for 4 years. After this, he went back to graduate school at West Virginia University to get his master&#039;s degree in Biology/Biochemistry. His second career after teaching, was doing Biochemical research for 19 years. Charles&#039;s wife later on received a job offer at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville (particularly the Information Technology Organization). She took this job, and they moved to Huntsville. Charles was then soon after hired in 1994 at NASA. His first project there included finding the requirements for the NASA Standard 3000 design. This project was called &quot;The Launch Deployment Assembly&quot; which was a system to deliver the robotic arm to the space station. Another program Charles was involved in was the Propulsion Module. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[As a kid, Charles M. Lewis loved to take things apart and put them back together. At the age of 15, he was inspired by a Life magazine article with Werner Von Braun standing next to the Saturn V engine. Since he was an avid Science Fiction reader at the time, this all inspired him to become involved with the Space Program, and to eventually become a licensed HAM radio operator. In college, he pursued an Electrical Engineering degree, but he flunked out of college because the classes were too big. Because of this, he decided to change schools and go to the Detroit Institute of Technology, where he found success. After graduating college, he was hired at Boeing in Seattle, Washington. At Boeing, he was involved in Test Engineering supporting UHF and Microwave antennas on the Minuteman Program. Boeing then got a contract for the Saturn V Program 8 months after Charles started working there. He decided he would rather work on the Space Program than military contracting, so he decided to move to Huntsville to work on the program.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Charles was born in Birmingham, AL, and went to Auburn, participating in the ROTC and graduating in December 1960 (majoring in electrical engineering). He would be picked up for work at Marshall, and in his military tenure he was stationed at a missile site near Boston. On returning to Marshall he would be assigned to the Components Test Laboratory, designing control test equipment from 1963 to &#039;68. Charles would also briefly work at the Kennedy Space Center early in 1968 following a call for volunteers to prepare the first Saturn V rockets-- his work there would take him to the Astrionics lab, and he would work on launch support for the designs which he worked on. He also worked on the LRV &quot;Quick Response Team&quot; &amp; dealt with several unique issues. Following the LRV work, (around 1973) he would participate in SRB systems integration for the space shuttle, eventually becoming the chief for that position, and participating in 61 launches (including STS-4 and the Challenger disaster, which he discusses in closer detail). After Challenger, Charles would become the Director of Systems Safety and Reliability, a role which he would retain for his last 7 years of employment (1987-94). ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Charles VanValkenburgh grew up in Huntsville, AL, and he went to Auburn University. There, he majored in Industrial Design and he had a part-time job as a draftsman at one of the civil engineering firms. After graduating college, he received a job at Essex in Huntsville. At this job, Charles would get in the water of the Neutral Buoyancy Tank and make sure that all the tools and everything was in place for an astronaut. Sometimes, he would even be the test subject. After all the testing from the day, they would all have a debriefing session at this company where the astronaut, human factors experts, and engineers would all make inputs. After the debriefing, they would take the ideas and get the machinists to make some modifications to the hardware. Charles would also work in pressure suits, and he explains how restricted the suit made him feel. He also mentions the foot restraints, and how difficult they were to work with. In his career, Charles was also able to help design the underwater version of the manned maneuvering unit. ]]></dcterms:description>
