About this Episode
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing and President Kennedy’s vision that launched the effort, the JFK Library recently held a Space Summit where an extraordinary group of scientific and business pioneers gathered to discuss the legacy of JFK’s moonshot and what lies ahead for the future of space exploration.
In the final episode of our Summer Space Special, we talk with three extraordinary women who are making significant contributions to space science. Maria Zuber, MIT Vice President for Research, Laurie Leshin, President of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Sara Seager, MIT Professor of Planetary Science and Physics, join us to discuss their experiments in space and their vision for the next generation of scientists.
