“The crowdsourcing is a very good tool for public engagement with NASA and get the feeling that they are part of the mission”

“NASA has 100 million people through the crowds to get ideas for challenges”

“First we use our internal crowd to solve the problem before going to external crowds”

“Open Innovation is helping us to break the silos inside the organization and bring people together”

“People who are solving problems in a crowd, they love what they are doing, it’s their passion”
