Why everyone can be a rocket scientist | Lauren Fell | TEDxQUT

What's your next mission? Lauren Fell argues that intellectual diversity is valuable, even in highly specialized fields like space exploration. Lauren's journey from psychology to the space industry began with her success in several NASA engineering design challenges.
As co-founder of Lunaria One, a space start-up project that aims put plants on the moon, Lauren embodies a unique fusion of psychology, inventiveness, and entrepreneurial spirit. Currently an Associate Lecturer at QUT, Lauren's passion for pushing the boundaries of space exploration and education is evident in her PhD research, creating a quantum cognitive theory of intuitive trust, and integrating physics, psychology, and technology.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

A very inspiring and clear talk. The comments on this channel are a cesspool of resentment.

[@gerryboy3699]

you need to go away and play with your imaginary magical bendy sticky water , because in reality water cannot hold a curve or stick to spinning balls.

An amazing talk! Well done Lauren

[@bukurie6861]

Thanks!Interesting and Success to you❤

[@marcosoavecarparelli2217]

Thank you, it was a very interesting speech and you were a source of inspiration for me.

Now if only NASA needed random frog and salamander facts I could finally live up to my parents dream 😅😂

[@vijayarya9528]

Thank you all very much

[@coachmanou]

I like the topic 😊

[@timothymcglynn1935]

🎉😮🎉😮🎉 ahhh 😫😯😫 yeah 💯 awesome ❤🎉❤🎉❤...

[@xlargetophat]

Trust me. I can not be a rocket scientist.

Not true. The FAA would be very upset if you sprayed metholox (rocket exhaust) on a populated area.

We know we shouldn't always believe everything on TEDx

[@GothBoyLoser]

Shut up it's real

Waaaw

I have never seen or heard all these teachers tell parents that their children "wouldn't go very far in life." Only in tedx speakers 😂

[@johnjames732]

Alot of nasa challenges So after 2017 nasa is asking regular people to make a Faraday for radiation protection
But we have been to the moon 😂
Your armadillo shield isn't protecting you from free radical radiation

[@bru512]

What does a seed have to do with rocket science?

[@olli3686]

Why not everyone can be a good TedTalk speaker 😂

[@Silhouex]

Until there's actually stuff to do in space, I promise it's actually very boring.

[@gerryboy3699]

space is in direct violation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics , it can't possibly exist. All our air would disperse into it and we would all die. If you have a belief that "gravity" the unproven theory can hold gas pressure next to a vacuum ,without a barrier, then please practically demonstrate it without using the subject in question, Thanks and all the best.

[@ExtremCoxer]

@@gerryboy3699Strawman. Nobody claims there is gas pressure next to a vacuum. It's a gradient. You know that. Stop preaching the delusion.

[@Silhouex]

@@gerryboy3699 I don't care to play with you. If you want to understand gravity, read a book on physics.

[@gerryboy3699]

I know more about physics than you ever will, and by your answer I know that you can't practically demonstrate your belief that defies scientific law, a scientific law is a fact. All because you were told it was true when you were 5 years old. Keep watching space on your TV screen and swallow it hard. Gas will always fill a vacuum, if there is no barrier.@@Silhouex

@@Silhouex ikr, i wasted too much arguing with these fools, just need to ignore them

[@2LegHumanist]

Is QUT the lowest ranked university to ever host one of these?
