The Podcast on
This week on Real Life, John Cowan sits down with one of the most powerful minds in space exploration: NASA’s Head of Science, Dr Nicola Fox.
As the Associate Administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Dr Fox oversees a massive portfolio of roughly 100 interstellar missions. From exploring the profound origins of the universe to steering the scientific direction of the upcoming Artemis moon missions. A world-renowned physicist and engineer, she previously made history leading the Parker Solar Probe mission, humanity's daring first journey to "touch" the Sun.
Behind her extraordinary career is a journey marked by immense perseverance. After tragically losing her husband suddenly in 2010, Dr Fox continued to break barriers in the male-dominated field of heliophysics, raising her two young children while driving some of mankind's greatest cosmic discoveries.
