‘This week, Dr Makenzie Lystrup made history as the first female director of NASA’s Goddard Flight Center. Not content with just one first, Lystrup also made history as the first person to take their oath of office on a Carl Sagan book.
From one stargazer to another, Dr Lystrup was sworn in as the new director of Goddard – one of NASA’s largest space research laboratories – on Sagan’s 1994 classic, Pale Blue Dot.’
