Don’t miss our inspiring interview with Nicola Winter, Germany’s second female Air Force Fighter Pilot, who is also set to become Germany’s first female astronaut.  Nicola walks us through astronaut selection, how becoming a mother changed her thought process about risk, and how some of her learnings as a fighter pilot and astronaut candidate translate to a corporate setting.

  • Keeping agreements; and
  • Setting boundaries.

Whilst these seem pretty straight forward, there are interesting NASA nuances that you will not expect.
