Show Notes

Peggy and Ella Atkins, IEEE senior member and professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Michigan, talk about the ways people can be involved with technology—on earth or in space. Atkins explains that she was always fascinated by airplanes and aerospace made a lot of sense to her. She says robots can do a lot more mundane tasks that humans have been responsible for in past mission and that gender and race don't matter when it comes to exploring space.
