She joins us to discuss her new book. Q and A and book signing will follow..\nhttps:/ /stark.libnet.info/event/6042968 X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Nicole Stott is the author of Back to Earth: What Life in Space Taught Me About Our Home Planet&mdash\;And Our Mission to Protect It
\nWhen astronaut Nicole Stott saw the Eart h from space for the first time\, she was overcome by a realization that m oved her deeply: This brilliant blue marble\, shielded from the cold empti ness of space by only its razor-thin atmosphere\, is a naturally existing system perfectly designed to support human life. Unlike the International Space Station\, it doesn&rsquo\;t require advanced technology for humans t o breathe\, eat\, live. But very much like the ISS\, it requires every &ld quo\;crewmate&rdquo\; of Spaceship Earth to work together to keep our plan et&rsquo\;s life support system running smoothly.
\nIn her new book\ , Back to Earth: What Life in Space Taught Me About Our Home Planet&mdash\ ;And Our Mission to Protect It\, Stott inspires readers of all backgrounds and beliefs to come together to tackle the planet&rsquo\;s most pressing problems\, from water insecurity and pollution to the existential threat o f climate change. Our planetary life support system is in grave danger and there is no backup plan if it becomes uninhabitable. (No\, we can&rsquo\; t just move to Mars.) But the science tells us there is reason for hope: I f we take bold action starting now.
\nStott believes we can do it\, because she saw the kind of cooperation that it will take every day on the ISS\, where people from around the world work together and support one an other in their various missions. As one of the few Americans to have trave led to space\, Stott offers hard-won lessons in high-stakes problem solvin g\, survival\, and responding to crisis. She also shares the stories of sc ientists and changemakers already sparking meaningful change in their comm unities and around the globe.
\nWhile few of us will have the opport unity to see the Earth from space\, Stott hopes to inspire an &ldquo\;Eart hrise moment&rdquo\; in each of us\, so that we can truly appreciate our f ragile and intricate web of human connection. That is the mission of BACK TO EARTH\, a stirring call to action and a hopeful vision for the future.< /p>\n
After a twenty-eight-year career with NASA\, Stott founded the Spa ce for Art Foundation\, and she speaks to audiences around the world inclu ding the Vatican and the United Nations' historic Paris Agreement gatherin g. She is featured in National Geographic's One Strange Rock and the painting she created in space is displayed at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Nicole lives in Florida with her family.
