S2 Ep5: Nigel Wood - RAF fighter pilot and NASA trained astronaut talks leadership and culture

  • Summary

  • Nigel Wood joins us for a fascinating conversation about his career as an RAF fighter pilot, lead test pilot and NASA astronaut. He shares what training at NASA entails, the enormity of everything that came with preparing to be the first Britain in space and the culture at NASA, including its flaws, which contributed to the Challenger explosion. We talk about what it takes to have a career as a fighter pilot and astronaut, given the potential risks involved, how he built himself back up when it was clear that he wasn’t going to get to space and the leadership lessons he has learnt along the way.
