[Music]

2
00:00:19,409 --> 00:00:16,950
God the first woman

3
00:00:21,630 --> 00:00:19,419
on the moon what does that mean for you

4
00:00:21,630 --> 00:00:24,670
as a woman but also as a NASA engineer

5
00:00:29,650 --> 00:00:27,280
since I was little growing up in Puerto Rico I

6
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:29,660
was always aware of all the

7
00:00:35,650 --> 00:00:32,930
different missions I wanted to

8
00:00:37,510 --> 00:00:35,660
watch with the whole family on

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:37,520
TV like this  Since I was little, I always

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:39,489
had an interest in coming to work

11
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:43,010
here at NASA. It wasn't until I got my doctorate

12
00:00:48,910 --> 00:00:46,250
that then I can start working

13
00:00:51,030 --> 00:00:48,920
with different technologies that

14
00:00:54,549 --> 00:00:51,040
NASA is working on and that brought me here to

15
00:00:57,700 --> 00:00:54,559
Mazatlan as an engineer in the

16
00:01:00,430 --> 00:00:57,710
battery area, so that was  where I started so

17
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:00,440
now I'm managing a group

18
00:01:05,530 --> 00:01:02,030
that is developing

19
00:01:09,430 --> 00:01:05,540
nuclear systems so for me this program

20
00:01:12,010 --> 00:01:09,440
and the program of art mimics being able to see the

21
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:12,020
first woman to reach the

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:15,170
moon is actually more than a dream

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:17,930
this being able to  to be working and to be

24
00:01:21,969 --> 00:01:20,210
part of this program to be working

25
00:01:23,529 --> 00:01:21,979
on technologies that will be able to help

26
00:01:27,490 --> 00:01:23,539
our astronauts, among them women,

27
00:01:29,380 --> 00:01:27,500
to be able to do the necessary science to be able to

28
00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:29,390
learn on the moon and then be able to

29
00:01:33,580 --> 00:01:30,350
take that

30
00:01:36,820 --> 00:01:33,590
learning love you yes if we look back

31
00:01:39,820 --> 00:01:36,830
no for me apollo  It was that motivation to

32
00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:39,830
study engineering. I always remember

33
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:42,790
the first steps on the moon

34
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,889
Artemis.

35
00:02:01,510 --> 00:01:59,109
help technology

36
00:02:04,499 --> 00:02:01,520
but also what it does to inspire

37
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:04,509
youth and the next generations

38
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:06,890
all the technologies we develop

39
00:02:13,180 --> 00:02:09,530
to get to the moon to live on the

40
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:13,190
moon to go to mars always achieve

41
00:02:20,290 --> 00:02:17,090
challenges pass it is a cycle they are not

42
00:02:23,259 --> 00:02:20,300
technologies that are used to improve

43
00:02:25,090 --> 00:02:23,269
life here on earth so who

44
00:02:27,970 --> 00:02:25,100
knows what what are the

45
00:02:29,530 --> 00:02:27,980
technologies 20 40 years from now that are

46
00:02:30,610 --> 00:02:29,540
results of what we are working on

47
00:02:32,759 --> 00:02:30,620
today

48
00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:32,769
is unique and we are very lucky
