We are American Ingenuity
Working together, we define the future
What motivates me is going
outside at night looking up at the moon and
thinking about humans are going to be walking on the
Moon once again in the very near future.
.....It is a big idea but that is what we do at
NASA.
I’m focused on taking those big ideas and making
them something we can actually do and actually
do on time.
We want to make
sure we have really accurate measurements of
Earth so we can detect changes in climate over
time.
I’m thankful that it’s not just me working on this
mission because I so value what other folks bring to
the table.
By developing this aircraft we're
actually coming up with a lot of the standards that
will be used to certify future electric aircraft.
NASA is leading and partnering with industries
across the nation and the world, employing thousands
and tens of thousands of Americans across the
nation.
Teamwork is the biggest thing of what has to work
to do such a challenging thing as living around the
Moon and we’re coming together to be able to
really take space exploration to the next
step.
We’re bringing this American ingenuity.
The collective greatness of all of the diverse
minds that are in the United States on these
grand challenges that we face. Everyday I go to work
and I know that there is a big purpose.
It is high stakes, high pressure but to be honest
that is what we do.
That’s what we do best.
I was a summer intern back in 2007.
And the experience changed my life forever.
The people there were so inclusive.
I want to be able to inspire the little kids
out there to be like if he was able to do this, then
I can too.
I want the largest number of students to have
access.
We work with schools and
students so that they see that they don't have to
figure this out alone.
It’s always fascinating for me when a student has
the proverbial light bulb go off that this is
something they can do.
Orbital dynamics don’t slow down during a
pandemic.
We had to come up with ways to keep going, right
from the get go of this pandemic.
Because of all the safeguards, we felt safe
being able to develop our flight hardware on center.
I have hope that the current vaccine roll out
is going to help us.
as we continue to vaccinate, our entire
population, that we can come back to work in way
that we can continue to do the job, understanding now
that the situation has changed.
I am inspired by my colleagues by my team
members because of the diligence that people have
had in continuing to make this mission move forward.
Just some of the most
phenomenal people in the world and the things that
I get to work with are just ont he cutting edge.
The possibilities are endless.
Working at NASA is something that not even in
my wildest dreams I thought I was going to end
up doing and now that I'm doing it, it is the right
place and the right home for me.
NASA is changing the future of spaceflight with
the Artemis program.
Generations to come will look back at this moment
in history and I’m just so excited to get to be a
part of it.
