00:00:00,010 --> 00:00:04,010
Hi, I'm Jim Garvin, I'm the chief scientist here at NASA's Goddard Space Flight

2
00:00:04,030 --> 00:00:08,040
Center, and there are two pioneering woman scientists

3
00:00:08,060 --> 00:00:12,050
who I'd like to talk about as inspiration to me, really

4
00:00:12,070 --> 00:00:16,070
from two different perspectives. And first, I had the great privilege of working for

5
00:00:16,090 --> 00:00:20,100
Sally Ride after her flight, historic flights

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,130
in the Space Shuttle. She also led a committee to study what NASA

7
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:28,150
should be doing after the Challenger set-back. And as her science

8
00:00:28,170 --> 00:00:32,190
guy on that committee, I got to know and watch her in action leading

9
00:00:32,210 --> 00:00:36,200
us and what I thought would be the future of NASA forward. And

10
00:00:36,220 --> 00:00:40,220
many of her ideas have stayed with us. The idea of competition 

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,270
in science, may the best women or man, or women and men

12
00:00:44,290 --> 00:00:48,290
continue the legacy of exploration, reaching for the stars, going to Mars, 

13
00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:52,330
these are things she taught me as a younger person in NASA

14
00:00:52,350 --> 00:00:56,360
to do. So Sally has left a long-lasting vision 

15
00:00:56,380 --> 00:01:00,370
for me of how we should do things. And we're trying to do that in the 

16
00:01:00,390 --> 00:01:04,400
aftermath of her movement beyond this planet. So, secondly 

17
00:01:04,420 --> 00:01:08,430
I'd like to talk about how inspiration works perhaps on a more visceral level. 

18
00:01:08,450 --> 00:01:12,440
And one of my colleagues, Lori Glaze, a scientist here at NASA Goddard,

19
00:01:12,460 --> 00:01:16,460
a vulcanologist and planetary scientist, 

20
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,500
is really the epitome I think of leadership in science, the way

21
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,510
we need to do it at NASA. Lori is not only an amazingly competent 

22
00:01:24,530 --> 00:01:28,560
scientist, but she's also a wonderful leader of people

23
00:01:28,580 --> 00:01:32,590
in achieving great things. And so as we look forward to 

24
00:01:32,610 --> 00:01:36,610
missions to places like Venus in the future, we're going to need 

25
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:40,640
scientists like Lori that can not only do the great science but also lead all of us

26
00:01:40,660 --> 00:01:42,783
in endeavors like that.
