  • "It's interesting thinking back to what sent a man to the moon the first time." ... "To see the sheer size and volume of those (computers) and to know now that we have that technology at our fingertips and the ability and the power that it can provide is really beyond imagination." - Nate Apodaca

In December 2022, it will officially be 50 years since humans set foot on the moon. In half a century, the world has changed drastically, and so has the technology that got us there. But as the world has turned more digital, the importance of secure and stable IT infrastructure has never been more important. That's why as NASA looks forward to the most ambitious era of space travel in history, they need a team that can be trusted to bring the best and most reliable systems possible.

Nate Apodaca is the Vice President and Division Manager of the NASA portfolio at Leidos. He joins host Shaunté Newby to share what IT infrastructure means in the context of space exploration, why it's more important than ever, and the new challenges that his team at Leidos are working to overcome.
