Abstract

Ever since the first spaceflight, humanity around the world has changed for the better as the reality of what's “up there” and here on Earth become inextricably linked. Today, every continent, country, community, and citizen are impacted by innovations that originated from space exploration. This includes everything from the soles of athletic shoes to developing groundbreaking technologies like remote sensing, broadband connectivity, and high-performance computing used by modern enterprises all over the world.  In truth, space supplies the critical infrastructure upon which every other infrastructure is dependent. Once considered the final frontier and only accessible to a select few, space is now home to the most dynamic and innovative environment on the planet and beyond. Cultivating the talent to fuel and drive bold innovations like digital twins will be one of the greatest challenges we face. Workforce shortages and skills deficits across geographies, disciplines and demographics threaten not just future advancement but also expanding economic opportunity.
