one two three four five
six
seven eight nine ten from training to
launch at 17,500 miles per hour through
the splendid corridors of space where
the first word out of your mouth is Wow
and the second word the second word out
of your mouth is whoa all the way to
inventing a wearable restoration
accelerator that has been shown to turn
wheats of deconditioning and sprains
into days and days of pain in two
minutes oh my goodness both literally
and figuratively there is just nothing
like space on earth I tell you once you
launch you don’t even want to look back
but you know what happens when
astronauts do when we look back on earth
well it’s not just about what we see
it’s also about what we don’t see and
guess what we don’t see borders and
guess what we do see bridges we see
bridges yet even little girls can still
wake up in a world where barrier-free
bridges exist only in our inner space
for me growing up in a time when too
often capricious eyes erected borders to
the Macra verse of space science and
engineering or my tools that rebuilt my
bridges and healing became my gateway to
the multiverse inviting me to delve
unencumbered into the exciting thriving
human Microverse just beneath
skin but still after 15 years as a
doctor I had yet to really push the
envelope of my yearning for space
exploration until I responded to the
call I was roused by the call hello yes
this is your dreams calling yeah well we
haven’t given up on you so don’t give up
on us so after 15 years as a senior
flight surgeon
I didn’t just hang up the phone oh no I
dialed it up by then I had risen to the
rank of colonel in the Air Force flying
in a wide variety of high-performance
aircraft from the f-15 to the f-111 f-18
f-16 anything going to altitude
air-to-air reviewers helicopters heavies
medevacs I wanted to be in it yeah after
a while those jets didn’t seem to go
quite fast enough nor quite high enough
I knew then that the only way to go was
up in the only way at that time was the
space shuttle oh my goodness if I could
talk about human space flight think
about it in less than 10 minutes
you’re 250 miles above the earth going
17,500 miles per hour on your way to
Mach 25 and as you undo your harness
you’re weightless
who needs main engines
who needs solid rocket boosters it’s
so yes folks we are going to Mars but by
way of going back to the moon so that we
can test and check out the performance
of systems all the way from the vehicle
to the human and oh my goodness are we
ever get up for the human now yes in the
future maybe we’ll be looking at human
suspended animation maybe some hybrid
but for now we’re looking at clinical
innovations that will give us the lift
assist that humans need in order to
advance the genome the human genome
genetic sequencing nutrition bundled
Vital Signs think tricorder X PRIZE
wearables accelerated restoration yes
and even autonomous robots we may find
that we’re using autonomous robots to
help us as needed for our surgical care
because they’re unperturbed by the
latencies of weightlessness or the
pernicious nosov perpetual para wedding
Wow
so the question is why not just send
robots why not iRobot if the vehicle is
poetry in motion then what is a human
and what need is there of humans yes
granted the vehicle does put the human
poetry in motion
but only humans can put the poetry in
emotion robots can learn but unlike
robots only humans yearn to learn
machines can write code but only humans
can write poetry now that’s a reason
that we need to go because if we deny
the human heart to boldly go plain and
simply we never know and poetry human is
forever lost you and silenced in the
vacuum of space but every go has its
ready and set and my ready was sitting
at the top of an old oak tree one hot
summer night talking to the man on the
moon my eyes Dancing with the Stars and
suddenly
out of the darkness I hear a voice
calling my name thinking is my destiny
finally found me I’m ready to take that
giant leap probably not a wise thing to
do at the age of 12 at the top of it
actually frankly at any age at the top
of an old oak tree but this this was
and while the entire world with one epic
united and resounding voice was counting
down man landing on the moon for the
very first time I was listening from my
stellar Lee arch branch overlooking a
racially addled Society I was listening
and now decades later
I now realize that that bold voice
albeit stifled by anonymity that I was
listening to was none other than dr.
Catherine Johnson you may know her from
hidden figures a young african-american
woman whose venerable pedigree was
simply a love of learning and
intolerance for error as she with her
precise spaceflight trajectory
calculations launched human up and over
the dark side of humanity to spearhead
the landing of a man a human on the moon
for the first time ever oh my goodness I
mean really who does that
how do you even begin to prepare to land
a human on the moon what do you do just
wake up one morning and decide yeah I’m
gonna stick the landing for
garden-variety human on the moon
well if you ask dr. Katherine Johnson
she will tell you no she has shown you
that you simply start by counting yes
counting until you’ve accounted for
every error all the way from the top of
your church stairs as a little girl to
orbitty human around the earth for the
very first time ever and yes oh that is
of course after you’ve done your
homework
by launching the first American then
into space for the first time ever and
how you launch an American into space or
any human for that matter I’m not even
going to begin to ask dr. Katherine
Johnson starting school at the ripe old
age of four high school by 10 graduating
from college by age 15 degree in
mathematics a consummate musician fluid
in French over the next few years her
teaching landed her in the colored
women’s section of computing for NASA
now anytime the footnotes of your career
trajectory of its asmath includes
creating the algorithms for the first
space antennae ever or helping to craft
the common filter that spatial accrues
throughout history have used to navigate
their way home safely well that my
friend is how you launch a genius but
you know dr. Katherine Johnson is also a
stellar example of why not just robots
of how human can step in at a moment’s
notice in real-time to recalculate the
error biases and error bars that would
safely bring a broken vessel in its
crew safely back home at a time when
there wasn’t even a playbook written to
so much as set your slide ruler up
against so why not robots yes robots can
learn but humans must stay in the loop
in order to discern now when your Zenith
is peaking at 100 years of age I had the
illustrious honour of serving as keynote
for dr. Catherine Johnson one day shy of
her 100th birthday August 26 2018 I
think that deserves a round of applause
and itself and you know as I took the
stage to extend those salutations I
realized two things one everyone wanted
to be dr. Catherine Johnson – no one in
that moment want it to be me not even me
because what do you say about someone
who has that kind of track record that
kind of career trajectory what do you
say about the queen of inquiry about the
princess of poise about the Nefertiti of
nebulas about the poet of possibilities
about the lyricist of Legends what do
you say so as I took the stage on that
hot summer day at a loss for words
as I gazed upon this breathtaking nebula
which by definition means barely visible
from the eyes of Earth but infinitely
large
Wyn close by what do you say well why
roba it needs to be human because when
it comes down to it it’s all about our
experience our go robots can learn but
what happens when their code deep
programs your program has deprogram your
code is now crippled what happens when
your codes bias starts to drift your
state vector and becomes corrupted that
is when you want the human in the
equation but why human well
because 10 a robot be coded to the
residents of dance and if a robot could
dance would a robot journey to the
widest devotions the highest of
mountains the deepest of space purely in
search of not innovation but inspiration
and if a robot could be inspired would a
robot be inspired to the point of
aspiring to serve in service of a cause
lesser than code or calling greater than
self and if a robot could aspire would a
robot be moved to sacrifice everything
even cell purely because not for code
but because it cares therein is a
calling to each one of us individually
and collectively we need to know
that we can together hone and own human
resiliency that is only born by not
failing at dreaming that nothing is
impossible because if you decode
impossible you get I am possible but
possibility only happens if you are
willing to I am imagine and then
possibility is endless so as I took that
stage and reach for the microphone and
wondered what do you say to this
timeless Centurion who after fifty years
of having landed someone on the moon is
celebrating this 100th birthday what do
you say you say nothing you don’t say
anything you listen because that my
friend is not just genius that my friend
is not just human spaceflight that as I
took the mic and suddenly became that
little girl again making space on my
branch for that voice of destiny now 100
years old as together we launched our
moon shots what you say my friend is
that that is nothing less than poetry
