Summary: The public is often frustrated with delays and launch push backs. All too often, delays are equated with failure. NASA is known for making the impossible a reality, but exploration is never without risk. Our people are willing to take those risks because the benefit to us all is so great. At the same time, it is our responsibility to make every effort to ensure the highest possible margin of safety for our astronauts. Join us as we will look at the tragedies of our past. We will talk about ways that we mitigate dangers and plan for the expected and the unexpected. We will also look at two activities that challenge students to design for astronaut safety (MEDLI and "Design a Crew Module).
