Following the successful first flight of Orion, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported on issues impacting NASA’s human space exploration programs.
In 2009, the orbiting carbon conservatory (OCO) plunged into the ocean minutes after launch. A year later, the team was given the rare opportunity to rebuild and fly again.
When NASA was named the best place to work in the federal government, its training and development capability was ranked #1, too.
On December 2, 1993, the Endeavour shuttle crew set out on the most complex space shuttle mission ever: to rescue the Hubble Space Telescope.
During its first flight, Orion reentered Earth’s atmosphere going nearly 20,000 miles per hour yet splashed down minutes later at a gentle 20 miles per hour.
Gaining experience, finding mentors, and even making mistakes are important elements in becoming an effective project manager.
