Essential Space Careers: STEM Skills & Mindsets
Explorers have been documented throughout human history. From the first humans to venture onto a new continent to the first explorers to summit Mount Everest, the Explorer’s Mindset has driven humankind to push the limits. The three key attitudes of this mindset are curiosity, responsibility and being empowered to make a difference.1 These attitudes push the people who hold them to go where no one has gone before. The next places for these adventurers to go will be into space to explore other planets and eventually, other solar systems. Even the word, astronaut, is derived from the Greek meaning “star sailor,” spurring people to be explorers of the unknown.2 New adventurers are born everyday and cultivating their Explorer’s Mindset will be key to the advancement of humans worldwide.
