This allowed NASA to once more take on the prideful mantle of success but only after paying a very steep price\, a price that seems at times to have been already forgotten but may have to be paid again unless there are changes within both the organizational structure and culture of the agency. \nJoin us for a discussion with former NASA Astronaut Charles Camarda\, author of the newly released book Mission Out of Control: An Astronaut’s Odyssey to Fix High-Risk Organizations and Prevent Tragedy\, about his role in reimagining the safety culture at the administration post Columbia\,and the valuable lessons he’s learned to pave the way for a safer future in space. \nThe event is hosted and co-produced by John “Das” Galloway\, founder of the Kerbal Space Academy. \n \nParticipant:\n\n\n\nDr. Charles Camarda is an is a 46-year NASA veteran with over 22 years of experience as a research engineer\, 18 years as a NASA Astronaut who flew on STS-114\, the return-to-flight mission following the Columbia disaster\, and 13 years as a Senior Executive holding positions within the Agency as Director of Engineering at NASA Johnson Spaceflight Center\, Deputy for Advanced Projects in the NASA Engineering and Safety Center\, and Senior Advisor for Innovation and Engineering Development at NASA’s Langley Research Center prior to his retirement in 2018. Post Columbia and prior to his launch on the next mission two and a half years later\, Dr. Camarda was responsible for initiating and leading the teams that verified the technical cause of the accident and for developing the technology that he flew on his return-to-flight mission to repair his spaceship in the event of another debris strike. \nHe is currently an adjunct professor at several universities has developed an innovative conceptual engineering design pedagogy called ICED\, which he has taught to NASA engineers and which forms the basis for his 501 (c)(3) educational nonprofit called the Epic Education Foundation\, which he founded to democratize STEM/STEAM education for students of all ages around the world. \n \nAbout the Book:\n\n\n\nAstronaut Dr. Charles Camarda has uncovered a recurring cause of accidents that no one has articulated yet—loss of a research culture that places a premium on learning and the quest for knowledge and what that means. He shows how to develop high-performing teams and networks of such research teams to solve anomalies rapidly\, which can help prevent catastrophes in complex high-risk/high-reliability organizations. \nAvailable for purchase through Amazon. \n \n\n\nHost: \n\n\n\nJohn “Das” Galloway is a science outreach communicator who specializes in live\, interactive video content.

This eventbrite is NOT a ticket\, you do not need to bring it to attend the program. \n \n \nSpecial Guest Speaker:\n\n\n\nMike Fink is Manager of Development Content at the Intrepid Museum. An avid researcher/historian\, he spent six years combing through archives and interviewing pilots and their families to uncover the incredible true story of “Two-a-Day 18\,” Intrepid’s highest-scoring fighting squadron.  \n \nAbout the Book:\n\n\n\nAt the end of their 81-day tour of duty aboard Intrepid\, the men of Fighting Squadron 18 (VF-18) were credited with shooting down more than 170 planes\, earning them the nickname “Two-a-Day 18” in newspapers nationwide. Intrepid’s Fighting Squadron 18 follows squadron members through training\, into combat\, and finally to the end of their harrowing stories—whether they took the return trip home or made the ultimate sacrifice. Drawing extensively on archival and family collections\, author Mike Fink reveals the personalities of these men and the binding friendships they built\, showcasing the powerful impact of war on those who fight it in addition to the impact of those men on the war itself. \n \nThis book will be released on January 14\, 2025.Pre-orders available on Amazon.

While meals in space have come a long way since tubes of goo and freeze-dried cubes\, food scientists still need to be mindful of providing meals with maximum nutrition\, while also limiting their weight and packaging on long and distant missions. \nJoin us for a discussion with a recently retired NASA food scientist and author whose unique life experience of working with astronauts to plan space food and meals provides an interesting framework for stories of building teamwork\, goal setting\, innovation and leadership. Discover the development process for food systems in space travel\, how times of crisis can lead to innovation\, astronauts’ favorite foods\, and the current challenges of designing food for deep space travel to Mars and beyond. \nThe event is hosted and co-produced by John “Das” Galloway\, founder of the Kerbal Space Academy. \n \nParticipant:\n\n\n\nVickie Kloeris is a food scientist with an out-of-this-world career. She worked at NASA in space food systems for 34 years. For 29 of those years\, she served as the NASA manager of first the Shuttle and then the International Space Station food systems. She and her teams worked through the complex challenges of creating tasty\, nutritious\, long-lasting\, easy-to-prepare meals that support the dietary and psychological needs of astronauts living on the space station. Kloeris has worked with 100s of astronauts to plan their favorite meals and holiday specialty meals for space travel. \nKloeris received NASA’s highest honor\, the NASA Distinguished Service Medal in 2019. During her career\, Kloeris was twice awarded the NASA Exceptional Service Medal and received the Johnson Space Center Director’s Commendation Award. \nShe earned a B.S. in Microbiology and a M.S. in Food Science and Technology from Texas A&M University. Kloeris has authored and co-authored many publications and done extensive public relations work during her time at NASA. Kloeris currently serves as President of the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT). \n \nAbout the Book:\n\n\n\nVickie Kloeris’s Space Bites: Reflections of a NASA Food Scientist takes readers through the many memorable moments of her career as she worked on both the Shuttle and International Space Station food systems. If you’ve ever wanted an inside look at what it’s like to assemble a sandwich in space\, produce a space food breakfast for the cast of Apollo 13\, or work side by side with astronauts as they prepare for the journey of a lifetime\, you’re sure to learn something new with the turn of every page. A charming balance of technical knowledge and human experience\, Vickie’s career memoir is a story for the scientist\, space enthusiast\, and spontaneous reader alike. \n Available for purchase through Ballast Books\, Amazon\, or Barnes and Noble. \n \nModerator:\n\n\n\nElysia Segal is the Producer of Public Programs at the Intrepid Museum\, where she brings science and history to life through artistic expression and creative educational programming.
