Jim Wetherbee is the only astronaut to have commanded five Space Shuttle missions. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, he began his life-long journey of controlling risk as a naval aviator, while flying in single-seat cockpits from aircraft carriers on the high seas. Wetherbee’s leadership roles as a military test pilot, astronaut, and safety executive in the oil and gas industry—from the front lines to the executive level – have given him valuable experiences and insights into dangerous businesses.
