  • [i]Efforts are underway to reinsert Hawaii as a player in America’s aerospace and outer space industries.
    [/i]

  • “During (then-Gov. David) Ige’s administration, he got rid of the office of aerospace, which I thought was a huge mistake,” said state Sen. Glenn Wakai (D, Kalihi-Salt Lake-Pearl Harbor).

  • He introduced Senate Bill 2081 Thursday requiring a partnership with the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism to establish an Aerospace and Aeronautics Development Program.

  • Wakai wants to make Hawaii relevant again in America’s aerospace efforts under Gov. Josh Green’s administration.

  • “We really need to chase economic opportunities for diversifying our economy,” Wakai said. “Aerospace is one area where Hawaii can be a global leader.”
  • [i]Hawaii — especially Hawaii island — played a major role in NASA’s early efforts to train and fly astronauts to the moon.[/i]
