Join the AIAA Houston Section for a Lunch and Learn on October 30, 11am-12:30 pm.
Gilruth Center, Lone Star Room (Due to the overwhelming response, the location has changed)
Free event. Bring your own lunch or enjoy a sandwich on us.
Fifty years after the historic first landing of human explorers on the Moon, NASA astronaut and planetary scientist Dr. Stanley G. Love will review the motivations and accomplishments of the Apollo program, present an overview of NASA’s plans to return human explorers to the Moon’s surface in the next few years, and discuss what those explorers might do there after they land and plant the flag. Despite an impression that we’ve “been there and done that” with regard to our nearest celestial neighbor, the Moon offers much more than opportunities to build national prestige. It is a treasure trove of scientific and economic riches that we’ve only just begun to open. We hope you can join the discussion and learn about the amazing future that awaits us on the Moon

AIAA Houston Section Workshop on Multiple Aspects of Innovation at NASA JSC will be held at the Gilruth Center.
The concept of innovation has been a vital component of human progress throughout the history of the species. However, in the recent years, the pace of innovation has increased at a rate that would have been unimaginable only a few decades earlier. Researchers around the world are studying this phenomenon, in an attempt to come up with creative new solutions pertaining a wide array of human activities. Countless economies have flourished because companies and governments have implemented innovative technologies, methods, techniques, protocols, processes, and ideas to develop and improve their products and services. JSC and its support community of contractors and universities strongly support and encourage innovation in numerous different areas, both inside and outside of the field of spaceflight. This workshop will facilitate dialogue among various JSC entities regarding recent accomplishments, their potential implications, and plans for the future of innovation at and around JSC.
Workshop Theme: Yesterday and Tomorrow
You will gain knowledge about innovation which will propel you to a great future. You will gain motivation to be innovative. You will get a Certificate of Completion and we will inform your Supervisor if you want.
Also, take a look at the importance of innovation (MS Word) and “Importance of Innovations in Human Ecosystem” (MS Word).
