Why 6 Months in Space Is Not Enough | Cady Coleman | TEDxNASAJSCWomen

Описание: Dr. Cady Coleman is a NASA Astronaut, a retired Air Force Colonel, and a veteran of 3 space flights. She returned this past May from a 6 month mission to the ISS as part of the Expedition 26 and 27 crews, launching and landing in Kazakhstan aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. Her international crew of 6 hosted a record number of supply ships and space shuttles. These brought new modules, experiments and supplies to the space station which is certified to operate thru 2020. Coleman, a polymer scientist by trade, participated in many of the 150 experiments aboard the space station in the areas of fluid physics, material science, technology demonstration and human physiology. She is excited to share her stories of life aboard the International Space Station.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
