Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Space2inspire: An Orbital Perspective of Earth as a Geoscientist, Artist, and Poet (Lecture) @airandspace | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Dr. Sian Proctor shares her perspectives on Earth as a scientist, astronaut, and artist.
Last year, Sian Proctor made history as the first Black female pilot of a spacecraft on the Inspiration4 mission aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft. She also spent two decades teaching geology and planetary science, has completed four analog missions as an analog astronaut, and uses her Afrofuturism space art to encourage conversations and women of color in the space industry.
Proctor’s motto is Space2inspire, which she uses to encourage people to use their unique, one-of-a-kind strengths and passions to inspire those within their reach and beyond. In this Exploring Space lecture, Proctor will share how her perspective as a geoscientist, explorer, space artist, and poet has changed as a result of her three days in space.
