David Baker has spent most of his working life around aeroplanes and spacecraft. He worked for NASA during Apollo lunar exploration and Shuttle development programmes and was involved with the US Department of Defense on analysis of strategic weapons.

In 1986 David was elected to membership of the prestigious International Academy of Astronautics and in 1998 he won the Rolls-Royce Journalist of the year Award for the best article on propulsion.
