From Causewayhead to Mission Control, it’s safe to say that local lad Stuart Black’s life has taken him to the ends of the Earth – and beyond.
The 45-year-old has recently completed a two-year stint at the legendary NASA base in Houston, Texas, overseeing a $6billion programme to hire the very best in the world for the space programme’s future in his role of Director of Talent Acquisition.
His role, working for contractors KBR Science & Space, saw him in charge of hiring talent across 25 NASA space programmes in areas including space suit design and human health and performance of the astronauts.
