NASA Selected Active Risk Manager to support the Risk Management Process and Improve Safety, Control and Predictability

Since its inception in 1958, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has accomplished many great scientific and technological feats. NASA technology also contributed to the military-industrial complex, where adaptations have benefited us mere earthlings. For example in 2000 NASA started a program to develop the next generation of lithium advanced batteries. The new lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries could mean that a 12 year old who plays his or her hand-held electronic game for 2 hours per day would not have to buy any more batteries until they were 64 years old!
