Why NCCS is Thankful in 2021:
The Extraordinary People of NASA (and Beyond)


As we head toward the Thanksgiving holiday, the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) reflects on why we are thankful. Why do we look forward to our work at NASA every day? Is it the mission? The research? The technology? What is the heart of our motivation?

We are all inspired by NASA’s mission, and the work itself is compelling—but it is the extraordinary people of NASA (and beyond at universities and research groups) that makes our work so rewarding.

It is the people, the creative, brilliant, dedicated people of science that we get to collaborate with every day—they are what we are most thankful for.
