ERAU Daytona is gaining support for a space transportation R&D institute. Among the fields the institute will be pushing is HFE in space flight. I'm still working on getting a contact for more info, but this is definitely interesting.

As a note, in Doc Travis's latest book "Introduction to Rocket Science and Engineering" (Travis S. Taylor, CRC Press. Copyright 2009) he covers all the basics of rocketry and space flight. He covers government acquisition phases and how detailed such acquisition programs need to be. He even slightly hints at the need for human factors... but there is no HFE chapter. :(

Maybe I should write it for him? XD
