Douglas Loverro, NASA’s new associate administrator for the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate, right, joins NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center Director Jody Singer to answer questions from the Marshall team at a Dec. 17 town hall. Loverro discussed the importance of the workforce, positivity and the unifying and inspirational nature of space exploration. “At the end of the day, we depend on the workforce, not on Headquarters to further exploration,” Loverro said. “My job is to listen to you and translate that into telling Congress and the administration what you need to complete your job. We're seeking a common purpose, on a common mission. I'm relying on you to tell me what you need to get this mission done.”
