 “As an aerospace professional, it is imperative to stay connected to engineers in a cross-functional way because this is how we collaborate, innovate, and create ‘out-of-this-world’ things. With developments in additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, robotics, and more, it is critical that engineers across industries and disciplines band together and collectively drive innovation with diverse engineering skillsets at the forefront.” 

Dr. Michaelyn Thomas speaks on affordability in the space sector and women inclusion initiatives

 "It’s more about introducing as much diversity as possible. Diversity drives innovation, and in an industry like space, it’s important to have people who think differently and approach problem-solving differently. Ultimately, a great balance of everyone is what’s needed in the space business." 

 "Space betters life on Earth for all of us by improving our global transportation systems, our ability to predict natural disasters, and our ability to connect with people around the globe through internet networks for improved health, occupational opportunities, and education — all through innovative satellite technology and affordable and flexible launch services." 

 "Women in the aerospace industry are badass. Historically, this industry was male-dominated with minimal diversity. Women in the aerospace industry, especially at the senior leadership levels, possess an incredible amount of resiliency, grit, tenacity, and positivity."

 "This Women in Space Conference is so amazing because it gives a platform for women across the globe to really share their stories."
