-No stranger to technology, Dr. Leroy Chiao earned three degrees in chemical engineering and a Q-clearance for nuclear weapons related work at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab before embarking on his 15-year career as a NASA astronaut. With this vast technical expertise, he offers an exciting glimpse into life on the next quantum level and presents a world in which technology is accelerating much more quickly than ever before. Imagine a world in which you are connected directly to the Internet using thought-controlled computer augmentation and a virtual heads-up display or a world in which sensors can identify you instantly allowing you to travel smoothly and securely, whether you use commercial travel or your automatically piloted vehicle. Imagine a life where personalized medicine allows treatments tailored to your genetics, where replacement organs are grown to be identical to your own. In his presentation, Chiao addresses technology, what is coming around the bend, and what life will be like during the next technological phase.
Leading a spaceflight is a demanding endeavor that requires the ultimate in teamwork and multicultural understanding. Cooperation between the flight crew, the ground crew, and everyone at mission control creates a successful mission. Leroy Chiao reveals the team-building lessons he learned from the space program, citing examples of how a leader and the team members who contribute specific, integral work toward a common goal can touch the sky.
Effective leadership can mean the difference between life and death, success and failure. Dr. Leroy Chiao shares his experiences of the Commander of a 193-day mission aboard the International Space Station, including real emergency situations. Dr. Chiao uses his personal experience aboard spacecraft to illustrate how reaching for the stars is important, but even more so is honing the operational decision making skills required to not only stay alive, but to thrive!
In this shrinking world and universe, opportunities abound for professionals who understand the importance and advantages of multicultural teams. Experience the unique lessons learned from preparing for and flying international space missions, from the perspective of a Chinese-American Astronaut working with Russian, Japanese, European, Canadian, and American Astronauts and specialists.
Experience spaceflight from the on-high perch of the International Space Station. Get the behind-the scenes tour from the Commander of Expedition X. Stunning photographs and personal stories make this an unforgettable experience!
