NASA highlights the role of women on the Curiosity Rover.

A couple days ago, I posted a response to a thread that was wisely deleted by the OP. The response regarded change, and one of the questions I received was if I honestly believed that people could change. I said yes, I did believe it. I highlighted a fraction of the changes that have taken place over the last century. One of those changes was the status of women.

The Suffrage movement culminated in the ratification of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote in 1920. Think about that friends, one hundred years ago today, women could not vote in elections. The next President will see the 100th Anniversery of the Suffrage movement's culminating event, and imagine this, two of the leading contenders for the Democratic Party are women, Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren. That says a lot of things have changed in my mind.

Now, to the purpose of this post.



These are but a few of the women who have been working on the Curiosity Rover project at NASA. Look at that picture for a moment, what do you notice besides they are all women? They are many races, many different backgrounds, and they are all obviously intelligent and well educated. They are young, and old, and everything in between. All intelligent, all well educated, and all contributing to the success of a mission I honestly believed was virtually impossible when I heard about the way they intended to land the Rover on the surface of Mars.
