Aerospace engineers have lots of different roles in the creation of aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, and many other high-altitude vehicles. Although aerospace engineers know the basics of aircraft and spacecraft (both vehicle’s science are very similar), most engineers are specialized in either one of them. Engineers specialized in aircraft are aeronautical engineers while focusing on spacecraft are astronautical engineers. Without them, space travel and traveling to distant countries are impossible. For example, if there were no spacecraft, our way of sending television through communication satellites would be impossible therefore, our entertainment through television must depend on the country. Costa Rica, for example, produces Canal 7 and Teletica. Imagine if you had no choice but to entertain yourself by viewing the channels produced in Costa Rica and couldn’t view other channels such as ESPN or HBO since there were no communicating satellites. Even if there were, how will people send them to space? Aerospace engineers can do the job and produce rockets or space shuttles in order to allow astronauts to take it to space. In addition, perhaps you wanted to see your grandmother or friend in a distant country and if there were no airplanes, how will you get there? For example, if you were living in the U.S. and wanted to visit France or China, will you take a boat if there were no airplanes? Basically, these engineers create beneficial products to help the human population.
According to my tone and information, it seems that aerospace engineers make all the aircraft and spacecraft. However, aerospace engineers work in teams made up of mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and other engineers where each of them has an important individual role in the creation. The teamwork and cooperation results in the creation of a full aircraft or spacecraft which is then, used differently. Specifically, aerospace engineers create or develop small or big components in the vehicle, supervise the creation of the components, or even create guidance systems and controls, usually for missiles. As I said before, aerospace engineers cannot produce vehicles without teamwork and cooperation and individuals are useless in the aerospace industry.
I feel that aerospace engineers are very important to many people who use vehicles as transportation or to astronauts who transports satellites into space because without them, many luxuries such as ESPN, CNN, or HBO could not have existed in Costa Rica. Also, visiting countries across oceans could not have been possible without aerospace engineers (on vacation, long journey on boat may be possible) since airplanes allow fast journeys to a location. For these reasons, I think that aerospace engineers have great power over humans where the extinction of these engineers may become a problem in the next generation.
