NASA inspires as it explores secrets of the universe for the benefit of all - just ask Tony Goretski, the senior employee in the Office of Procurement at NASA's Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.
Goretski felt the inspiration long ago on a school trip to the Gulf Coast site, vowing to one day become employed with NASA. Now, he is doing his part to support the NASA mission and inspire the next generation of great explorers - the Artemis Generation.
"NASA has a phenomenal way of including everybody, like you really belong," Goretski said. "We are all family, driving towards a common purpose, and I love that aspect about NASA Stennis."
The common goal is returning to the Moon in a sustainable way. Through Artemis missions, NASA will use innovative technologies, and collaborate with commercial and international partners, to explore more of the lunar surface than ever. NASA will then use what is learned on and around the Moon to take the next giant leap: sending the first astronauts to Mars.
