She is the first woman to be acting Administrator of NASA. Janet Petro brings science know-how to leadership positions and yet adds spirituality to it too. Being the appointee of President Donald Trump, Petro’s stewardship led historic feats during her earlier tenures as the Director of Kennedy Space Center in NASA when she guided multiple pioneering ventures related to space research. Apart from these professional achievements, Petro’s deep respect for Lord Shiva, one of the major gods in Hinduism, is a pointer to her being attached to Indian mysticism. An excursion to the Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi is arranged by Petro and symbolically speaks of science-ancient wisdom cross-cultural dialogue. Petro inspires diversified leadership and builds world collaboration.
