What has NASA done for you today?
Join us at 11:00 a.m. to hear from Barbara Adams, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Ambassador. Did you know that NASA and space exploration has significantly enriched our lives? We have so many products and technologies far beyond Tang and spacesuits. The benefits are making an impact worldwide in better health and medicine, transportation, public safety, consumer products, computer technology, environmental and agricultural resources and industrial activity. In the last year alone, we’ve experienced over 50 major changes in our lives that help us and our planet stay healthier and happier! Dr. Adams will also be discussing what NASA has done in 2023 and let you try some space age food. Some NASA handouts will be available, including information about opportunities for students to work at the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, California.
