Earth Day with NASA Chief Scientist - Benefits of Space Exploration | #podcast

Dr Katherine Calvin, NASA’s Chief Scientist and Senior Climate Advisor joined Martin Nesirky, Director of the United Nations Information Service Vienna, for a special interview on the occasion of International Mother Earth Day. Earth Day, celebrated annually on April 22, is an apt reminder for humanity to be a better shepherd of our only home.

Dr Calvin speaks about the benefits of space exploration and utilization for life on Earth through being a key tool for climate action and evidence-based decision-making; highlights exciting NASA missions; explains the significance of the United Nations in space multilateralism; and sheds light on the intersection between climate science and government policymaking. She also delves into benefits that both developed and developing countries enjoy thanks to space assets and the role of the commercial space industry for progress in the sector.

“While Quilts consists of many different pieces, each piece fits together with others to form a patchwork of global solidarity. It is a response that has measured up to the scale of the pandemic. We must make sure that our response does the same.” - Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of the UN 🇺🇳

Love you UN 😊

We have all been placed on this earth to discover our own life, and we will never be happy or successful if we try to live someone else’s idea of it. So give up worrying too much about what others think of you. And note to self: Taking a step back to gracefully walk away from situations that threaten your peace of mind, values, morals, or self-worth, is almost always a healthy and necessary step forward _✍🏻_ 👏🏻😊

😊👏😊👏😊👏😊

*_How does daily planning help us to feel accomplished_*_ ??_ 🤔

Success is not just about achieving your desired goal one day but making the best use of your time.

_Having a plan for each day means that you know your priorities for that day. Starting your day with a priority task list makes you very efficient. You become more focused on essential tasks, don't waste your time and energy on unnecessary activities and discipline yourself._

To best utilise each day of life, have an achievable plan. You might not always be able to achieve every goal for the day, but by using your day the best way, you will feel like a champion every day.

A Prisoner in the Garden
—
“A garden was one of the few things in prison that one could control. To plant a seed, watch it grow, to tend it and then harvest it, offered a simple but enduring satisfaction. The sense of being the custodian of this small patch of earth offered a taste of freedom.”
~Nelson Mandela
