With the return of Americans to space aboard an American-built platform, enthusiasm for the space program is rebuilding.   

We will engage Ezinne Uzo-Okoro on a wide ranging conversation about the role of NASA in our modern society, what the next frontiers of space travel might reveal, and discuss how the growth of private-sector entities will impact global space travel.   

Ezinne is a seasoned NASA engineer, who has contributed to over six large spacecraft missions and last served as the Chief of the Small Spacecraft Mission Design Division. When she is not working on food systems for use in space, she explores the robotic assembly of small satellites in Low Earth Orbit. She is currently an MIT Media Lab graduate student.
