"We're going to the moon!," exclaimed Dr. Ronald Rosemeier, founder and CEO of Brimrose, a manufacturing company in Sparks Glencoe.
The next time Dr. Rosemeier watches the United States land a piece of equipment on the moon, it'll include something his company designed.
“Growing up in the 50s, when we ended up landing on the moon in 1969, that was such an experience. Everyone was watching it on TV. And then all of a sudden, it was happening so much, that people just got bored. And then we just stopped," Dr. Rosemeier said.
“Now we have other countries going to the moon, China, etc. And so everybody goes, 'gosh we were there first,'" he added.
Finally, we're going back, and a piece of Brimrose is going back with it.
Brimrose designed a spectrometer, which is used to measure specific wavelengths of light to identify different materials. It was selected by NASA to help in its search for water and minerals on the moon.
