1 00:00:00,246 --> 00:00:02,246 >> [Background Music] 2 00:00:02,486 --> 00:00:05,886 What I like most about my job in vibration and acoustics is 3 00:00:05,916 --> 00:00:07,736 that I help to develop predictions 4 00:00:08,226 --> 00:00:11,196 to determine what the noise level is 5 00:00:11,196 --> 00:00:13,326 for a payload during its launch on a rocket. 6 00:00:13,326 --> 00:00:16,436 And that's very rewarding and very important, because we want 7 00:00:16,436 --> 00:00:17,316 to be able to predict 8 00:00:17,356 --> 00:00:20,346 if the spacecraft can survive the sound pressure level 9 00:00:20,346 --> 00:00:21,996 that it sees during the rocket launch. 10 00:00:22,366 --> 00:00:25,296 The materials that I use to specify a noise treatment 11 00:00:25,676 --> 00:00:28,566 for protecting a spacecraft are also used 12 00:00:28,656 --> 00:00:30,056 in everyday applications. 13 00:00:30,386 --> 00:00:33,536 They're used to help lower the noise levels in libraries, 14 00:00:33,996 --> 00:00:36,186 concert halls, and sound recording studios. 15 00:00:36,846 --> 00:00:39,526 I would like my legacy to be that of one 16 00:00:39,526 --> 00:00:41,996 of the very hard-working NASA team members 17 00:00:42,386 --> 00:00:43,616 who played an important part 18 00:00:43,646 --> 00:00:46,446 in developing NASA's new space launch system rocket, 19 00:00:46,746 --> 00:00:49,586 the key vehicle that will enhance our presence in space, 20 00:00:50,186 --> 00:00:53,066 around the Earth, to the surface of the Moon,
