Thomas Zurbuchen served a longer continuous term than any other NASA science chief.
Space.com: I've been on this job for more than a decade now, and one thing I've noticed is the huge public interest in space and space science now — it's grown so much. To what do you attribute that? And how much of that is a goal of NASA's? Obviously, you do science and exploration first, but outreach and engagement are essential to the overall mission.We've seen this growth, and we're excited about it.
Space.com: What sort of advice would you give to your successors? How can they keep NASA science growing and moving in the right direction? In the first speeches that I gave when I took the job, I said there are three priorities here. The first priority is, build the best team. And the best team is not the most experienced, by the way. There's experience there, but there's also new thought, there are new ideas; there's diversity built around it. And gain the trust of that team.
But whatever the ideas are, the point is, focus on number one and number two first. You're going to want to learn from the community overall to get the final advice. And when you do all of these things, think of community with a capital"C." It's not just people who are on your floor, or in NASA headquarters. It's also the company people out there, the academics, the startup community, the funding community, the government stakeholders, the White House stakeholders.
