Space Travel, Mars Missions & NASA Teamwork Training with Dr. Kate Hixson

"I focused on astronaut team work training for long duration space missions, aka Mars!"

Today we have another incredible guest as I get to talk with NASA scientist Dr. Kate Hixson. We go deep into her work with NASA, space travel and the Mars missions, along with her thesis work on the study of excellence and top performance. Kate also talks about her thoughts on Aliens and what we gain to learn from the pursuit to Mars. This was a very thought provoking conversation and interview for me and I think you will gain tons of value from all the nuggets of gold from Kate's studies and stories.
