Interview with NASA Ames Center Director Dr. Pete Worden—Space Exploration, Technology, & Entrepreneurship
Space exploration, technology, & entrepreneurship. How should the three interweave? What does the future look like for NASA Ames? Why and how can a government institution establish entrepreneurial private-public partnerships? How can a government institution create an entrepreneurial work environment?
Dr. Pete Worden, Center Director of Silicon Valley’s NASA Ames Research Park, has all the answers—he blew me away with his innovation-oriented leadership style, his bold vision for the future, and his wild insight into the connection between space exploration & entrepreneurship.
Post-interview, I got a stealth tour around the campus. Laid my eyes on one of the fastest supercomputers in the world, even Segwayed around the ponds behind campus. The rest? Well, that’s top-secret. 
Nothing yet.
