In the 1950s, he was employed by the Univac Company (Sperry Rand) to teach programming to major corporations for the Univac I and II systems. These were the first, commercial computers in business history. In the '60s, Dr. Morra was invited to join a NASA crisis-team of national scientists in Houston, TX. After three astronauts were killed in January 1967, a capsule explosion, this quickly assembled team was assigned the objective to develop operational models to aid the escape and rescue of astronauts who were marooned in Outer Space. The now-famed Apollo XIII flight, featured on film by Hollywood's Tom Hanks, validated the results of the report. In part, this project was directed by Dr. Harold Urey, a 1934 Nobel Bell Prize winner. In the 1970-80s, Morra became a ranking manager on shift-duty in the operation of Kansas City International Airport. While on shift-duty, Morra was responsible for the safety and well-being of thousands of passengers and employees. His management activities included the resolution of 2-3 major and minor emergencies, which unexpectedly occurred on every shift. Since the year 1984, Dr. Morra consulted for a variety of organizations through his firm, 21st Century Marketing Company.Michael Morra received a B.S. in econometrics, at New York University, NY, NY, 1957; an M.A. in Psychometrics, Columbia University, NY, NY, 1959; and a Ph.D. in Behavioral Science, at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, 1965. His formal research and teaching style was set at the "leading edge" of the techno/cultural/commercial dynamic of the American culture. His books include Genetic-Based Democracy, NOVA Publications, NY, NY, 1998, and The Dawn of Bio/Politics, Authorhouse, Bloomington, IN, 2008, add to these professional experiences, Morra: (a) had published topics in macro/genetics, apropos to the socio/politics of the American democracy; (b) taught coursework and seminars at the undergraduate and graduate levels across a span of 35-years; and (c) served the community for 10-years as a docent at the internationally renowned Nelson-Atkins Art Museum, located in Kansas City, MO.Dr. Morra's interests also focused upon the "genetics of socio/politics" as they might impact a demographically diverse democracy a 21st-century idea, which time has come and can't be resisted. And, as a long practicing Evangelical Christian, Dr. Morra writes on the role played by the Judeo/Christian Code, i.e. The Moral Evolution of Western Man, in the course of the past 2000 years.weniger sehen
