Failure is an option. It's where you
learn from your mistakes and get back up
again and try again.
My name is Anh Nguyen and I'm bringing new capabilities to small spacecraft.
CubeSats are a class of small satellites.
This is a spacecraft.
People have been adopting them all the way from elementary schools
to NASA and
commercial ventures.
If we want to go beyond Earth, we need these capabilities.
We are the first to fly these technologies. They are risky.
You know you can get creative to do the test that you want to do.
If one of these spacecraft
goes out of commission, then we send up a few more.
This is what we've done.  We've
qualified all these components in space
and we've qualified this technology, that
it can be done on a CubeSat.
As humans, we're so interested to see what's out
there, what can we do.
Me and my NASA friends here, we go exploring a lot:     multi-day rafting trips, backpacking trips.
We go scuba diving together - kind of that same exploration.
What could we do to push the boundaries?
