Video Title:
Space2inspire: An Orbital Perspective of Earth as a Geoscientist, Artist, and Poet (Lecture)
Description:
Dr. Sian Proctor shares her perspectives on Earth as a scientist, astronaut, and artist. Last year, Sian Proctor made history as the first Black female pilot of a spacecraft on the Inspiration4 mission aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft. She also spent two decades teaching geology and planetary science, has completed four analog missions as an analog astronaut, and uses her Afrofuturism space art to encourage conversations and women of color in the space industry. Proctor’s motto is Space2inspire, which she uses to encourage people to use their unique, one-of-a-kind strengths and passions to inspire those within their reach and beyond. In this Exploring Space lecture, Proctor will share how her perspective as a geoscientist, explorer, space artist, and poet has changed as a result of her three days in space. The Exploring Space Lecture Series is made possible by the generous support of Aerojet Rocketdyne and United Launch Alliance
