News-Gazette (from The Associated Press, Dec. 5) -- Urbana native and aerospace engineering alumnus Josh Hopkins is a space exploration architect with Lockheed Martin.

Hopkins' job is to think about space projects in their early phases and come up with the big picture — how something should work and what it should be — then turn it over to people who design it and make it work.
