In our latest webinar we were thrilled for the chat with our CEO Cindy Chin and Daiva Naldal of DSTN Ventures to discuss collaborations in gathering some of the best ideas and how to bring them to life in a new normal. Her experience as the former Head of Open Innovation at LEGO IDEAS and a track record of successfully developing and scaling open innovation initiatives helps companies develop their own innovation programs that create value. How do some of the best winning ideas and insights from open innovation communities can transform an organizational journey?
On February 8, 2020, a group of space enthusiasts, professional and amateur photographers, budding rocket scientists, engineers, scientists, and educators gathered at NASA Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops, VA to visit the Antares and sound rocket factories as well as mission control centers and launch facilities for the mid-atlantic rocket launches in the United States. For years, NASA Social has been convening people from all walks of life in order to share their experience of visiting a NASA site facility and observing the different stages of development in NASA missions.
In celebration of Women’s History Month, this article highlights a few of the future generations of women in the space industry today who are making critical footprints towards the first woman on the moon, deep space exploration, and Mars from impossible to possible and not just a dream.

“Apollo had a twin sister and her name was Artemis. She was hunter and her best friend and favorite companion was Orion. ALL astronauts in their return voyage to the moon will fly under the Artemis Mission inside the Orion capsule and this week, we will witness history in the making where women for the first time intentionally right in the forefront of the journey from Moon to Mars.

This article is part of a series of articles on design thinking and thought leaders that transform into what we atCLC Advisorscall “i.e.,” the “idea economy.” Where ideas become and transform into widgets for those who choose to dare mighty things to build something bigger than themselves.We are the explorers of the universe.
I first met Mausonaut and his human person Holger Voss at the rocket launch of the Sentinel-2B satellite at the European Space Agency’s Operations Center. Recently, I flew to Berlin to attend a ESA SpaceTalk at the Siftung Planetarium Berlin to reunite with Mausonaut, Holger, and ESA’s Director General Jan Wörner. From there, our curiosity grew, adventures began, and so did the conversations with Mausonaut about imagination, exploration, and the curiosity it takes to make space (literally and figuratively) for creativity through play. We hope that you will enjoy reading this article with your families during this holiday season and wish you the happiest of holidays and best wishes for the new year and decade!
