In state-of-the-art production facilities, newly established headquarters and even the sky above, world-class astronautics enterprises are converging on the Long Beach region. Capitalizing on the foundations of the aerospace industry and the skilled and diverse talent produced by CSULB, this intersection of city, industry and university has been dubbed Space Beach. The booming space industry echoes the post-World War II aerospace boom, when CSULB, the U.S. military and private companies forged lasting partnerships to develop a highly skilled local workforce and shape the fortunes of the first space race. In the intervening decades, CSULB has remained a partner of aerospace industry leaders and a cornerstone of bold initiatives that have presaged the Space Beach enterprise.
