The space program is not "under the command of" NASA in the United States... HyperCapitalist ( talk) 18:42, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
The word "aerospace" even in the title of this article, has been arrantly misused. The root of this problem is that "aerospace" is an adjective, and it is NOT a noun and cannot be used as one. In correct English, the word "aerospace" always appears in phrases like these:
aerospace agency, aerospace business, aerospace company, aerospace corporation, aerospace design, aerospace division, aerospace education, aerospace employment, aerospace engineering, aerospace factory, aerospace industry, aerospace manufacturing, aerospace operations, aerospace plant, aerospace school, aerospace technology, and aerospace work.
Don't try to use the word "aerospace" as a noun, an adverb, a verb, a conjunction, or a pronoun. 98.81.13.169 ( talk) 22:37, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
This needed to be added to balance things out.
From that point, the aerospace business has grown to sometimes be one of the most exciting, diverse, and fast-paced fields - and other times one in which not much happens for years, hundreds of thousands of emplyees lose their jobs, and dozens of companies go out of business. The list of extinct aerospace companies is long, but distinguished. In addition, during long, slow periods in this business, many aerospace companies have been forced to either merge with other companies, or else to sell all of their assets, including their expert technical abd manufacturing staffs, to other corporations. Usually, tens of thousands of employees lose their jobs in such transactions.
The history of such events can be quickly summarized as follows:
McDonnell Aircraft plus
Douglas Aircraft yielded the
McDonnell Douglas Corporation;
McDonnell Douglas absorbed the
Hughes Helicopter Company;
Consolidated Aircraft became part of the
General Dynamics Corporation;
Vought Aircraft merged with a steel company, which after less than a decade went out of business;
The
Glenn L. Martin Company plus the American Marietta Company, a mining company, yielded the
Martin Marietta Corporation;
The
North American Aviation Company plus the Rockwell Corportion, an industrial company not involved in the aerospace business, yielded
North American Rockwell, which some years later changed its name to
Rockwell International;
The
Lockheed Corporation plus Martin Marietta yielded the
Lockheed Martin Corporation;
Northrop Corporation plus
Grumman Aircraft yielded the
Northrop Grumman Corporation
The
Boeing Company absorbed McDonnell Douglas outright
The Boeing Company absorbed the
Hughes Aircraft Company, which for decades was not involved in aircraft, but rather, was a
spacecraft manufacturer.
The travails of the aerospace companies in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Russia have been just as complicated and just as distressing to their employees and to their investors.
Following World War II, all of the aerospace companies in Germany and in Japane were forced to close, most permanently, and the remainder for very long time. These included such noteworthy companies as
Dornier,
Heinkel,
Junkers,
Focke-Wulf,
Messerschmidt,
Mitsubishi, and
Nakajima.

Cyberbot II has detected links on Aerospace which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Although there are a couple mentions of defense in the article, it should probably be expanded upon. Most if not all aerospace companies seem to have a defense aspect to them. Aerospace companies will sometimes mention it as "national security", which possibly indicates they are intentionally trying to soften their corporate image. This could mislead someone, who for example is planning their future career and might be interested in aerospace due to the flight and space aspects, but not realize that their future work might involve creating military weapons such as missiles or drones which they might have moral problems with. 2600:8800:7000:33:0:0:0:B36 ( talk) 18:05, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
