Ariel Waldman enjoys collaborations between science and space exploration. After studying art in university, Ariel landed a job at NASA. Ariel’s goal is to teach others how to contribute to the fields of science and space exploration in innovative ways. Ariel is on the council for NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts. This program takes far out science-fiction concepts and tries to implement them to better future space travel and exploration. Ariel founded Spacehack.org, a home for ways to participate in space exploration. I admire her vision for the average person to be able to understand and participate in such a complicated field. Ariel created Spaceprob.es, a site that catalogs all active spacecrafts that orbit our planet and others in our solar system. Ariel is adamant that you do not need to know anything a field learn or enjoy it. Her presentation style is approachable and positive. All of her work after leaving NASA originally has been dedicated to helping people participate in science and space exploration.
