00:00:05,740 --> 00:00:12,950
Obviously discrimination is really denial
of opportunities based on what I consider

2
00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:16,900
to be irrelevant characteristics.

3
00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:22,220
I think that it's OK to reference things that
may have happened in the past, but only as

4
00:00:22,220 --> 00:00:24,400
a reference -- but not stay there too long.

5
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,730
I think it's more valuable and important to
talk about where we are today and what's important

6
00:00:30,730 --> 00:00:33,379
in terms of what we need moving forward.

7
00:00:33,379 --> 00:00:40,880
I think the agency has changed significantly,
it's a product of change in society, I mean,

8
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,879
societal changes that occurred over time and
pretty much reflective of that.

9
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:54,820
It's about really capturing the diverse thinking
from people with all backgrounds and all different

10
00:00:54,820 --> 00:00:58,199
experiences, I think, are very important.

11
00:00:58,199 --> 00:01:05,660
That's one of the reasons that we do it and
I think that makes the agency and JPL a much

12
00:01:05,660 --> 00:01:07,790
better and more effective place.

13
00:01:07,790 --> 00:01:15,259
We have one Earth, you know we have one ocean
and we have one space and so, it's about all

14
00:01:15,259 --> 00:01:21,310
of us -- it's about you know humankind, mankind
and not about, again, you know this group,
