Nasa engineer just ‘can’t fail’


HAD Malaysia-born Florence Tan (pic) not been attentive in a class at college, she might not have landed an internship at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) in the United States. The Muar native recalled being asked how to derive Maxwell’s equations during the internship interview.“I paid attention in that class,” she told StarEdu, stressing that no amount of effort is ever wasted.

Being the “can’t fail type”, she said she had always studied hard and kept her focus throughout her schooling and university days.
