How to Be a Successful Engineer at Langley

Christine was working on the space program in 1969 when NASA achieved its goal of getting a man on the moon. By 1974 Christine was keen for a new challenge and she began to wish she could do more. She asked her supervisor if she could become an engineer but they said no. So she decided to speak to a more senior director and ask him why not. That director instead of firing us promoted me and transferred me to engineering. I signed up to work on a doctorate degree in mechanical engineering in fluid mechanics so that way nobody can say you don't have a degree what you're doing at Langley.
