Corin Buchalow
Corin Buchalow (1949-2028) was a smart man with many ideas. Being a Air Force pilot in the Vietman War, he was an expert in handling and designing planes. He saw in person, as a college student, the liftoff of Apollo 11 Moon spacecraft. He worked for NASA for quite awhile as an aerospace engineer. In 1984, when he was 35, he started his own company, TransSystems. Since then, he has been very successful with his work. He is happy to acknowledge, that even after he retired in 2008, TransSystems has never had a loss of any astronaut whatsoever.

Current status of TransSystems Co.
TransSystems has been quite successful recently, and after it launched it's Red Planet program series, money has been pouring in. An especially popular part is the Red Planet: Ultimate Adventure tour. ET-2 sales have dropped, but private companies have been popularizing ET-3s and 4s.
