At far left is Jim Harris, principal of the school. Dr. Whitlow was visiting the school to share the vision for space exploration with the next generation of explorers. Whitlow talked with students about our destiny as explorers, NASAs stepping stone approach to exploring Earth, the Moon, Mars and beyond, how space impacts our lives, and how people and machines rely on each other in space. Also on the tour, Melvin talked about the importance of teamwork and what it takes for mission success.
