It was big news in the Rensselaer community when it was announced that Reid Wiseman '97 would command the Artemis II lunar flyby in 2024, but it may have been Paul McKee who was most excited. McKee, who will receive his doctoral degree in aeronautical engineering from Rensselaer this month, was among about 100 other engineers at NASA's Johnson Space Center when the Artemis II crew was announced. While Weisman prepares to go to space, McKee will be supporting his mission and other NASA projects from the ground.
