NASA Deputy Administrator Shana Dale's Blog: California Outreach Effort
"I am excited about the future and I enjoy talking about what we are doing and where we are going with the Nation's space program. What resonates with the general public the most is the combination of the inspiration from our space exploration missions with the examples of how NASA-derived technologies are critical for life here on Earth.
After my keynote in San Jose, several individuals said my speech was "powerful" and that is such a compliment because now they "get" it and are re-energized in their interest in America's space program. As my staff says, the speeches I give are getting better. I am an introvert by nature and I have stepped way out of my comfort zone, but I feel it is extremely important to discuss the importance of NASA to the general public."
So now NASA's only reason for being is Spinoffs?
I think it's awesome Shana's staff like her speeches. Her million dollar forums sure are working! LOOK at the upswell of support from America -- no one mentions gas prices without first saying "NASA's vision sure is great" -- it's amazing. Her bravery in daring to speak publicly -- outside of her comfort zone -- is a testament to the type leadership Mike Griffin chooses to really rocket us into the future.
