my name is lynn moore i am the product

00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:15,519
group lead for the simulation product

3
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:16,960
group within the

4
00:00:23,109 --> 00:00:19,760
engineering and technology directorate

5
00:00:25,830 --> 00:00:23,119
we provide mathematical models

6
00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:25,840
we simulate ground support systems such

7
00:00:29,589 --> 00:00:28,720
as the crew access arms

8
00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:29,599
to

00:00:33,190 --> 00:00:30,400
allow

10
00:00:35,830 --> 00:00:33,200
testing and verification of hardware and

11
00:00:37,830 --> 00:00:35,840
software

12
00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:37,840
prior to hardware flight hardware

00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:40,239
arriving at kennedy space center

14
00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:42,160
we are one of the key capability for the

15
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:44,480
future command and control system at

16
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:52,630
in the april of 1975 after the fall of

17
00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:56,480

we settled in rockledge florida

19
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:01,520
part of the space coast

20
00:01:05,189 --> 00:01:02,640
and we

21
00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:05,199
remain there ever since

in my early career

00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:11,520
at kennedy space center as a contractor

25
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:13,920
on command control system i left the

26
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:15,680
space program

27
00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:17,600
to work on

28
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:20,159
dod missions supporting the army in the

29
00:01:24,550 --> 00:01:22,640
air force as well as

30
00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:24,560
a small cutting edge

31
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:26,479
startup company

32
00:01:31,830 --> 00:01:28,560
i have the privilege of working on the

33
00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:31,840
m1a2 tank simulators as well as the

34
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:33,680
apache longbow

35
00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:35,520
attack helicopter

36
00:01:39,429 --> 00:01:38,240
i also worked on meteorological modeling

37
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:39,439
system

38
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:42,000
a lot of real-time command and control

39
00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:45,200
and model and simulation system

40
00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:47,360
i have the privilege of working with a

41
00:01:51,109 --> 00:01:48,479
very

42
00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:51,119
diverse and talented group

43
00:01:57,190 --> 00:01:53,920
of engineers both civil servants and

44
00:01:58,149 --> 00:01:57,200
contractors we are diverse in

45
00:01:59,749 --> 00:01:58,159
our

46
00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:59,759
work background

47
00:02:03,429 --> 00:02:01,200
we are diverse

48
00:02:06,789 --> 00:02:03,439
in our generation

49
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:06,799
as well as cultures

50
00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:08,399
so every day

51
00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:10,080
we deal with a lot of different

52
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:11,599
perspective

53
00:02:15,910 --> 00:02:14,160
different way of solving problems some

54
00:02:19,110 --> 00:02:15,920
of the benefits of having a diverse

55
00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:19,120
workforce is that we have a richer set

56
00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:22,400
of solutions to any given problem

57
00:02:26,790 --> 00:02:23,840
when you have

58
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:26,800
a single group looking at a solution for

59
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:29,120
a single problem you may have the same

60
00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:30,720
answer but when you have a diverse

61
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:31,840
workforce

62
00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:34,080
people from different background

63
00:02:37,990 --> 00:02:35,680
whether it's private industry or

64
00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:38,000
different age group or different culture

65
00:02:43,589 --> 00:02:39,519
they bring a completely different

66
00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:43,599
perspective on how to solve a problem

67
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:45,840
that you don't normally expect

68
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:49,360
nasa as an agency is very supportive

69
00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:52,560
in being inclusive

70
00:02:59,110 --> 00:02:53,519
and

71
00:03:00,390 --> 00:02:59,120
encourage people to achieve the full

72
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:00,400
potential
