NASA rocket scientist Kevin J. DeBruin shares NASA’s design principles and proven practices that allowed him, and several notable figures, to achieve their dreams and defy limitations. Think like a rocket scientist; these steps and habits can be used to get through trauma, figure out your path, explore options, embody perseverance, and ultimately accomplish your goals.

Part 1 - The Proof: Concrete examples of people and technology making dreams a reality.

Part 2 - The Process: The five-step process of achieving dreams and designing spaceships.
