so I want you to think back to being a
kid think about watching TV and feeling
really excited
your parents have allowed you to have
dinner in front of the television with
your plate in your lap your mom has
accepted the mess that you and your
siblings will inevitably leave behind on
the sofa pretty unexpected but there is
an explanation it’s July of 1976 it’s
July of 1976 and the kid is me my mom
has thrown caution to the wind because
tonight on the evening news we will see
pictures from the surface of the image
of the planet Mars taken by NASA’s
Viking Lander so we get this image on TV
we see lots of red rocks and a blue sky
but wait a second is the sky on Mars
supposed to look blue today it’s common
knowledge that the Martian sky is pink
back in 1976 engineers and scientists
figured this out pretty quickly they
recalibrated their data and generated
updated images a few nights later we saw
this for me seeing the blue sky and then
seeing the red sky was a life-changing
moment I realized that adults don’t
instantly know everything that they
themselves have to figure this out and
what this meant was there was an entire
universe of questions out there that
needed to be answered so between 1976
and today just a few years I have had
the privilege of working for NASA and in
my own space tech startups on technology
that not only flies to Mars and orbits
Jupiter but also on satellites that
orbit the earth I have had the privilege
to be one of the first in all of
humanity to look into the deep
using the Hubble Space Telescope the
best part of all of this is everything
that we’ve had to create to get us up
there has made life better down here on
planet Earth so life on planet earth
some people will tell you that we are
living in a very difficult time they
will tell you that we are dealing with
climate change we are dealing with
hunger we have conflict based on
religious racial political difference
they point out that we are destroying
our own environment in the name of
industry and development so then what is
the solution
people like Elon Musk’s believe that we
will become a multiplanetary species as
we move off planet to escape this one as
it becomes uninhabitable
I think he’s partly right if you think
about where space Tech is today where it
will be next year or in the year 2030
you are likely to believe in the
incredible adventure that awaits
Humanity on the red planet have you
worked on spacecraft for nearly my
entire adult life I agree that we will
get to Mars but having to escape this
planet because it becomes uninhabitable
does not need to happen it is this
belief that gets me up every morning is
this belief that gets me to work across
15 18 time zones to bring together
people on a global platform to innovate
to think outside the box and ensure a
future not just for our children but for
children of future generations if I take
you and ask you about your expertise
you’ve got inspiration you’ve got
expertise you’re doing a lot to help
humanity what if I tell you that what
you’re working on is required by an
astronaut and that it has to go up on a
rocket in 18
the level of inspiration that you will
feel will be incredible speaking from
personal experience I’ll tell you you
can’t wait to get to work in the morning
if you have this kind of opportunity all
the innovations and lifestyle changes
that will come because we are developing
space technology it will be incredible
we’re an incredible crossroads right now
we’ve got access to space and we’ve had
some enormous breakthroughs in
technology in the last few years think
about your phone a lot of you guys have
them out right now the computer in your
phone in 1976 would have taken up this
entire room satellites were the size of
buses back then today you can send a
satellite like this into space this
flies by itself costs about a quarter
million dollars think about how much
your car costs in this country yeah
right this has got a camera on it
and you can send it up for the price of
a fancy car this was built here in
Singapore biasing app Orion our chief
technology officer for courses that we
offer in satellite technology if you
think about the computational abilities
of computers today if you think about
the incredible ability we have to send
information across the planet deliver
services and products in instantaneously
I think about 3d printing telemedicine
all of these growing areas serve as the
basis for what I call Astro preneur ship
space entrepreneurship so how are you
affected by space tech today how will
you be affected in the near future and
how will you affect it in the year 2030
let’s think about this this is a
photograph of a hurricane taken in
mid-2017
by a weather satellite this is hurricane
Irma one of the most catastrophic storms
in
human history the winds of this
hurricane was so powerful that any
building any tree any living thing in
its path could have been completely
destroyed we live in a world of climate
change where storms of this magnitude
unfortunately may occur on a regular
basis when scientists and engineers
first launched weather satellites into
space they could not have imagined a
storm of this size but here we are
satellites have gone down significantly
in cost in the past few years what does
this mean smaller countries with fewer
resources no longer have to rely on
larger countries for data handouts they
can build their own satellites they can
launch these satellites and take data as
frequently as they want in the area of
the world they want to look at enabling
people to evacuate themselves in a
timely fashion the information on her
hurricane Irma was that disseminated by
TV reporters social service providers by
rescue workers families were able to
save themselves and evacuate to safety
because they had data from space imagine
if we had not had this kind of
information so this is a telescope
called the Herschel Space Observatory
built by the European Space Agency
it’s another spacecraft I worked on the
gold shiny material there that’s a space
blanket
it’s an incredibly efficient material
very good for thermal management it’s
lightweight fantastic it’s tough here’s
a refugee protecting her child with the
same blanket
what an incredible use of outer space
and human space if you think about space
as a place that we get technology that
we bring down you can also think about
space as an environment we can exploit
because it’s very
unique astronauts and the elderly it
turns out suffer from a common ailment
bone loss or osteoporosis can we address
both populations using the same medical
treatment when astronauts are in space
their skeletons don’t have to bear their
weight as a result their bones weaken
they lose bone mass the elderly lose
bone mass because the body’s just can’t
produce new bone material researchers
have taken medication that’s designed to
prevent bone loss and injected it into
mice onboard the International Space
Station what this is allowed is for them
to minimize the duration of clinical
trials as compared to what would be
required on the earth we don’t fully
understand why people’s bodies behave
differently in space there’s a lot to be
studied and I think this is an area that
has incredible implications in the
future to further study this issue our
company sent up an experiment to the
International Space Station this year we
looked at genetically programmed
bacteria we’re scheduled to send up a
physical physical system and a material
science system next year in 2018 so
let’s think about 2018 there will be a
few fundamental occurrence activities
that would change your relationship your
sense of the tangibility of space next
year a number of private companies plan
to send astronauts up to the space
station this will be the first time that
private companies rather than
governments are doing this there are a
number of companies who are looking at
space tourism so what happens when a
middle-aged couple decides to spend
their wedding anniversary in a space
capsule floating above the earth I’ve
told my husband we’re doing this
we haven’t told our daughters yet but I
guess they’ll find out now so doctors
will need to understand what happens to
the average human body in space
psychologists will need to understand
the effects of both long and short term
space travel we will have to develop
tools to allow our minds to cope with an
incredibly wonderful but different
environment next year there’s an
incredible contest where 30 million
dollars the first team that sends images
back from the moon live for the general
public will win 30 million dollars
thanks to Google there are 4 countries
right now with rocket reservations for a
lunar rover to send a rover up there to
send us images back so what does this
mean for you
you’ll get live video from the moon on
your phone when you go outside you’ll
never look at the sky the same way again
you’ll look up at the moon and you’ll
say I wonder what the Rovers are up to
right now let me just get out my phone
and check i photoshopped that myself
thank you
we’re moving into a realm where not only
large nations with a tradition of space
exploration are in the field but we also
see smaller nations that have nascent
space ecosystems coming into space
exploration by the year 2030 most
countries in the world will see their
citizens traveling to space the number
of innovations we’re going to require to
get up there cannot be provided just by
a small group of countries or a small
group of private companies we as astra
preneur have to come together on a
global scale to provide all the systems
the subsystems the services in all
disciplines to get us up there so if
you’re currently working in education if
you work in technology let’s just say
you’re doing something significant to
express the human soul in the arts we
need you we need your help we need to
figure out as we democratize space how
to humanize space I’m sure that all of
us will play a role in the future who
would have thought 20 years ago that we
would be able to find a blanket thinner
than a piece of paper that could keep
billions of people warm
thank you
