Alessandro Buscicchio

On our #LittleItaly Podcast today, lets talk #Mars, and one of the scientists responsible for getting us there, the brilliant
Alessandro Buscicchio, Robotics Engineer at NASA and JPL. In other words, the brains behind the #MarsRover.
Alessandro first came to the U.S. from Italy to study at Jet Propulsion Laboratory, but scientists there were so impressed
by his brilliance, they offered him a job, and he accepted.
Hear all about Alessandro’s journey into space, how he began his interest as a young boy in Italy, and what inspired him.
Now married with a baby, Alessandro talks about the future of robotics in space, in addition to how his early years in
Italy prepared him for his advanced studies and work here. We’re listening!
