Reimagining the future of space exploration

"Never limit yourself because of others’ limited imagination; never limit others because of your own limited imagination.”

- Mae Jemison, first african-american woman to travel in space aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992

Inspire the next generation of space explorers

“Understanding how things work and being an engineer led me to become a helicopter pilot and eventually to NASA. The path doesn’t necessarily have to be straight, but don’t limit yourself to what you know. Go out and try new things.”

- Sunita Williams, former NASA astronaut cumulating a spacewalk time of 50 hours and 40 minutes

Accentuate women's representation in the space exploration field

“A bird cannot fly with one wing only. Human space flight cannot develop any further without the active participation of women.”

- Valentina Tereshkova, first woman to go to space in 1963

Develop the scientific litterature currently lacking women's contribution

“Studying whether there's life on Mars or studying how the universe began, there's something magical about pushing back the frontiers of knowledge.”

- Sally Ride, first American woman to go to space in 1983

Training to develop astronauts' skills

“Know what it is that drives you - motivates you - and pursue it. Endeavor to work to make it happen.”

- Peggy Whitson, first woman commander of the ISS and first woman Chief of the Astronaut Office
