Blueshift - April 17, 2009: Professional Tinkering
from NASA Blueshift · host NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
In astrophysics, the development of innovative technology is crucial to answering scientific questions about the Universe around us. The types of technology invented are determined, at least in part, by the answers we are seeking. At the heart of this science-technology cycle are "professional tinkerers," scientists and engineers that balance the needs of the astrophysics field and the opportunities afforded by an impressive palette of tools. In this episode, we interviewed Dr. Harvey Moseley, one of the "tinkerers" here at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. He gave Blueshift some advice on how to take inventions from the drawing board to reality.
