Introduction The subject of this applying lessons from NASA to cybersecurity might seem like an odd choice but there are a few reasons I chose this route. Firstly, why use NASA and not some other science and engineering organisation? I have always admired and enjoyed reading and learning about the work of NASA with particular topics being the now-retired Space Shuttle Programme, the still going Voyager  satellites and NASA's research into Astrobiology. (an interdisciplinary scientific field concerned with the origins, early evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe). Also, by using an area of work in this related to NASA can provide a different take on problems we are trying to solve. By looking at seemingly, unrelated areas we can find new ideas or ways of thinking about a problem. Over the past ten years, NASA through their website has released various ebooks for free covering various topics including history, aeronautics science ...
