单集简介 ...

In her last year of high school, Olga González-Sanabria went on a field trip to the University of Puerto Rico’s school of engineering – and immediately knew that was what she wanted to do. She followed her passion and after university was recruited by Nasa, where she carried out instrumental work, without which we would not have the International Space Station. As the very first Latina woman working in engineering at Nasa, Olga’s career has not always been an easy ride, but is filled with remarkable achievements. Dr Ella and Dr Julia tell her story, and Olga herself gives us a first-hand account of her life so far. Presenters: Dr Ella Hubber and Dr Julia Ravey Producers: Ella Hubber and Julia Ravey Assistant producer: Sophie Ormiston Production co-ordinator: Elisabeth Tuohy Editor: Holly Squire (Photo: Olga González-Sanabria.

  • How did the richest people on the planet make their fortunes?

  • I'm Simon.

  • Jack.

  • And I'm Zing Singh.

  • Join us for good, Bad Billionaire.

  • Each episode we pick a billionaire and we find out how they made their money.

  • Like the comedian Jerry Seinfeld.

  • The financier George Soros.

  • The golf star Tiger Woods.

  • Then Simon and I have a decision to make.

  • Do we think they are good, bad or just another billionaire?

  • Good, bad, billionaire.

  • Listen on BBC Sounds.

  • It's mid-1970s Puerto Rico and a high school student sits in a university lecture hall listening to talks about jobs in science.

  • This wasn't a career path she'd ever considered, but her maths teacher, seeing her potential, encouraged her to go.

  • And as one student began to speak, she's instantly captured by an industry she's never heard of, Engineering.

  • In that moment, she feels something she's never felt before.

  • I could hear my wings open.

  • I actually could hear that pop puff.

  • This is it.
