Humans in Space
December 8, 2009

The future of space exploration is "the Moon, Mars, and beyond." For the human scientist-astronaut, 
"the issue is one of location and locale," according to Dava Newman. The argument is no longer 
whether it's man vs. robot; rather it's how humans and robots will work together in missions 
throughout the solar system.

"For now, going forward, for human space flight—it's all about exploration, going to the unknown, 
being there, and transforming, perhaps, the human experience."
-Dava Newman

Leadership Amidst Crisis
October 27, 2009

In thirty years, S. D. Shibulal has seen his share of economic crises, three to be exact. But in 
thinking hard about the role of crises in the future for today's students, he predicts: they will 
occur more frequently, and will be less predictable, longer lasting and more costly.
