Folks’ Post

"I'm helping put a man on the moon, Mr. President." That's what a janitor at NASA told JFK when he asked, "What do you do?" Is your mission that compelling? Is that the attitude toward mission that people have in every department in your company... Finance? HR? Facilities? Is your mission compelling enough to have that kind of gravity? For a 7 point framework to test and/or compose a compelling mission, see the link in the comments.

This is a great news for All users of high-resolution #Satellite data for #EarthSystem studies & applications, from both Planet & NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration   Communities & and well beyond internationally, because #PublicPrivatePartnerships are recognised globally as a key way forward to accelerate and make sure more & more #EarthObservation enter our every day life powering a #GreenEconomy that protects and cares for #PeopleandPlanet.

The newest book in the NASA History Series is here: be sure to check out A Wartime Necessity: The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and Other National Aeronautical Research Organizations’ Efforts at Innovation During World War II, edited by Alex M Spencer. World War II represented a turning point for government-industry cooperation and the role of applied research and development. While many NACA accomplishments during the war are well known, its history has received only limited attention from a handful of scholars. Each chapter of A Wartime Necessity has been writ­ten by a recognized authority in their field and the volume covers a broad range of topics associated with aeronautical research and development during the war. International contexts are of particular note in this publication, which includes chapters devoted to Japan and the Soviet Union. In each of the case studies we see how research and technology were critical to the war effort, how unique contexts shaped what was possible, and how institutions were adapting to a drastically changing world.

Good Monday morning friends! I recently learned that the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Office of Small Business Programs offers a series of webinars with in-depth training relevant to small businesses. These webinars will provide the opportunity to ask questions directly to key points of contact at the Agency. In addition, their podcast series explores a wide range of topics from NASA and other agencies to determine how they see the small business program and what small businesses can do to support them. Check it out! The next one is coming up on February 21. #aerospace #nasa #smallbusinessgrowth #webinars
