Thomas Zurbuchen Farewell Video

From NASA SMD: “This is a farewell video is in honor of Dr. Thomas H. Zurbuchen (Dr. Z) on his last day of federal service – December 31, 2022. Dr. Z began as the NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Associate Administrator (AA) in October 2016. He made a significant number of major accomplishments during his 6 year tenure. The overall NASA Science budget grew to its highest level. Numerous major missions were conceived and selected.”

“Many new missions were launched into operations including the James Webb Space Telescope. Several prominent missions also reached their end. Many of these accomplishments occurred despite the global Covid-19 pandemic from March 2020 to the end of his tenure. He also built a NASA Science leadership cadre and team, and a next-generation of space scientists to carry on his legacy long after his departure. FAREWELL DR. Z!”
