Matt Kamlet, fellow #flyNASA Social participant and a Sports Writer for CBS Los Angeles, wrote this article about our NASA Social Media event and some of NASA’s projects that we learned about: “NASA’s Innovative Ground Collision Avoidance System Could Save Hundreds Every Year.”
Matt writes “Ultimately, the work NASA is doing in LA’s backyard has the potential to safe hundreds of lives each year. However, as has always been the case with the agency, the true value of the technology is the potential doors it opens for further abilities, discoveries and ambitions.
While NASA continues to discover ways to gain knowledge and inspire through space exploration, the advancement of aeronautics likewise progresses. A win for one is a victory for the other, whether it be a launch system capable of destinations beyond Low-Earth orbit, a capsule suited to solidify a leading role in manned space missions, or ways to travel around the globe in a safer, more environmentally friendly manner.
And in the end, the work being performed in the desert at Edwards Air Force Base is doing what it has always done — opening doors for mankind’s next small step” (http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2014/11/21/nasas-leading-edge-ground-collision-avoidance-system-could-save-hundreds-every-year/). Great job Matt!
