HOUSTON, TEXAS (NOV. 11, 2023) – Space Center Houston’s President and CEO William T. Harris has made Blooloop’s TOP 50 Influencers List.

The center, led by Harris since April 2016, serves as the official visitor’s center of NASA Johnson Space Center. He has positioned Space Center Houston as a global learning and leading science destination center, generating 1,710 jobs and building partnerships with industry and government leaders.

We are, if you will, the crossroads of government space agencies like NASA, the private sector, academia, and nonprofit organizations,” Harris told Blooloop.”
