Bolden's Talk to WIA and AIAA, Chuck Divine
"Today, December 9, NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden addressed a joint luncheon organized by Women in Aerospace and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Lori Garver gave a friendly introduction to Bolden noting that he was two star Marine General and a four time astronaut. A friend of Bolden's named Rocky told Lori "You have won the lottery." Charlie then stepped to the podium. He began by stating that it was an honor to be here. He added that Lori was a key member of his team. The numbers of women in aerospace today is a tribute to the work of WIA in the past two decades. He also acknowledged the presence of AIAA President Dave Thompson."
Young people will want to work for NASA if the NASA mission itself is something seen as exciting, bold and imaginative. Children will be more interested in a STEM career, perhaps in aerospace, if they see something actually happening with NASA that is exciting, bold and imaginative.
It will be interesting to see how the Obama STEM initiative gets manifested at NASA....and if the post Augustine NASA looks exciting, bold, and imaginative.
