Timeline

1920

His father, Robert Nicholas Hubbard (1920 -1997), was an attorney and later served as a State Court Judge.

1922

Hubbard's mother, Nancy Clay Hubbard (née Brown; 1922–2011), was a homemaker and served as Executive Director of the Elizabethtown, Kentucky Visitor Commission.

Hubbard has one younger sister, Nancy Kelly Huber and half-sister Nicole Hubbard by his father's second marriage.

Hubbard is currently married to Pat Power, a retired Federal Human Resources Manager.

1948

G. Scott Hubbard (born December 27, 1948) is a physicist who has been engaged in space-related research as well as program, project and executive management for more than 45 years including 20 years with NASA, culminating as director of NASA's Ames Research Center.

Hubbard was born December 27, 1948, in Lexington, Kentucky.

1960

He taught himself to play from books and by listening to the likes of the greats of the early 1960s, such as Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, the Kingston Trio, Bob Dylan, and Peter, Paul and Mary.

From this period in his life onward, space and music began a close race for his attention.

1966

Hubbard graduated in 1966 from Elizabethtown High School as valedictorian of his class and as a National Merit finalist, which together brought a considerable number of scholarship offers.

He chose to accept the Founder's Scholarship from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, where he double majored in physics and astronomy.

1975

From 1975 to 1977, Hubbard completed his graduate studies in solid-state physics and semiconductor physics at the University of California, Berkeley.

2002

Hubbard founded the NASA Astrobiology Institute, conceived the Mars Pathfinder mission with its airbag landing, was the manager for NASA's Lunar Prospector Mission, served as the NASA representative on the Columbia Accident Investigation Board, and, ultimately, served as the Center Director of NASA's Ames Research Center from 2002 to 2006.

During his tenure, two significant public-private relationships defined Hubbard’s legacy.

2003

Named to honor the crew of the Space Shuttle Columbia lost February 1, 2003, Columbia was built and installed at the NASA Advanced Supercomputing facility at Ames, in partnership with Silicon Graphics, Inc. and Intel, in less than 120 days.

Utilization of the Columbia provided scientists and researchers an improved global circulation model, allowing for hurricane prediction 3 days earlier than ever before and presumably saving lives and property.

Hubbard’s second major effort brought together Ames Research Center and Google to conduct cutting-edge research and development.

2004

In October 2004, in an effort to reestablish Ames’ role as NASA’s principal center for supercomputing, NASA unveiled the “Columbia,” one of the world’s most powerful supercomputing systems of the time.

2005

The September 2005 memorandum of understanding between the two entities outlined plans for cooperation in areas such as large-scale data management, bio-info-nano convergence, and encouragement of the entrepreneurial space industry.

“Google and NASA share a common desire –to bring a universe of information to people around the world,” said Eric Schmidt, then Google’s CEO.

“Imagine having a wide selection of images from the Apollo space mission at your fingertips whenever you want it.

That’s just one small example of how this collaboration could help broaden technology’s role in making the world a better place.”

Hubbard is the recipient of multiple NASA honors, including NASA's highest award, the Distinguished Service Medal.

2006

In 2006, he received the prestigious Doctor of Science (Sc.D) degree from the Technical University of Madrid.

The degree was awarded honoris causa after a thorough review of Hubbard's professional accomplishments and a vote by the Academic Council.

Prior to joining NASA, Hubbard was a staff scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, was a founder, VP, and general manager for Canberra Semiconductor (a high-tech start up in the San Francisco Bay Area), and held the position of senior research physicist at SRI International.

At NASA, Hubbard served as the first Mars Exploration Program Director (aka the "Mars Czar") where he restructured the Mars program in the wake of mission failures.

2012

As of 2012, Hubbard chairs SpaceX Safety Advisory Panel, he previously served as the NASA representative on the Columbia Accident Investigation Board, was NASA's first Mars program director and restructured the Mars program in the wake of mission failures.

As of 2012, Hubbard chairs the SpaceX Safety Advisory Panel, additionally composed of astronauts Leroy Chiao, Mark Kelly, and Ed Lu, with former NASA flight surgeon and chief of medicine at NASA's Johnson Space Center Dr. Richard Jennings.

2014

(Hubbard's first Marriage to Susan A. Ruggeri-Hubbard ended with Susan's death in 2014. )

Hubbard is known personally and professionally by his middle name, Scott, because of the long-time connection to a family friend, Nannie F. Scott.

Hubbard spent the majority of his childhood in Elizabethtown, Kentucky about 85 mile east of Lexington.

Hubbard's fascination with space exploration began at around nine years old, when Sputnik first orbited the Earth.

His dad then brought home a 2 inch refracting telescope for the backyard which the two used to study the night skies, with a particular interest in Mars.

Hubbard was an avid reader of both science fiction and science books by people such as George Gamow, Isaac Asimov, and Fred Hoyle, as well as books on astronomy and cosmology.

Hubbard's interest in life in the universe eventually turned into—many years later—astrobiology.

A few years after the telescope came home, Hubbard's father brought home a baritone ukulele which enthralled him.

He learned from the included pamphlet a few basic chords and some simple tunes which he practiced for hours on end.

From there he graduated to “Truetone” Spanish guitar but, proving far too frustrating to play, moved to a “Silvertone” quickly.

In 2014, Hubbard also held the office of Sentinel Program Architect at the B612 Foundation, dedicated to protecting the Earth from asteroid strikes and led mainly by scientists, former astronauts and engineers from the Institute for Advanced Study, the Southwest Research Institute, NASA and the space industry.

Following his service at NASA, he moved to Stanford University in the department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, where he created Stanford's Center of Excellence for Commercial Space Transportation and served as Founding Editor of the peer-reviewed journal New Space.
