This group of world renowned aerospace professionals has cumulatively been exploring, innovating, leading, and teaching since the early 1970s. Between them are represented Mars missions from Pathfinder to Curiosity, and studies from the Antarctic (surface and scuba) to Hawaii and reaching as far away as Australia, in disciplines, from engineering and astrobiology to policy, mission management, communications, TV actors, historians, and astronaut candidates for upcoming missions. These individuals come from all backgrounds and upbringings, and can share how they rose against the odds to succeed in the demanding and exciting field of space exploration. They are artists, bicyclists, musicians, martial arts competitors, scuba divers, pilots, chili pepper connoisseurs, and more. They are humble, gregarious, quiet, daredevils, shy, and everything in between. These individuals were just like you before they began their journey to Aerospace Careers.
This event is for Highschool Students and requires Preregistration
