Two NASA veterans. Five decades of human spaceflight.

Lessons from the front lines of the most complex missions ever flown.

From the aftermath of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster to the launch of astronauts on commercial spacecraft, Dr. Jim Peters and Dr. Lou Carfagno spent their careers helping NASA solve some of the most difficult challenges in human spaceflight.

They worked inside the teams responsible for returning the Space Shuttle to flight, training astronauts for spacewalks on the International Space Station, and helping launch a new era of exploration through programs like NASA's Commercial Crew and future deep-space missions.

Today they bring those experiences to audiences around the world.

Through keynote speaking, books, leadership programs, and film consulting, The Space Guys reveal what it takes to lead high-performance teams, make critical decisions under uncertainty, and succeed when failure is not an option.

Because the lessons that keep astronauts alive in space can transform how organizations perform here on Earth.
