1
00:00:06,869 --> 00:00:05,269
there was a scene at the very end

2
00:00:09,509 --> 00:00:06,879
where there's two arm wrestlers

3
00:00:13,110 --> 00:00:09,519
struggling with everything they have

4
00:00:14,789 --> 00:00:13,120
the camera focuses in on his face

5
00:00:17,349 --> 00:00:14,799
and as he was sitting there in slow

6
00:00:19,590 --> 00:00:17,359
motion struggling with everything he had

7
00:00:21,429 --> 00:00:19,600
i had the epiphany that i had never

8
00:00:23,830 --> 00:00:21,439
worked that hard

9
00:00:25,429 --> 00:00:23,840
even for a moment and i decided right

10
00:00:27,509 --> 00:00:25,439
then and there that i was going to go

11
00:00:29,509 --> 00:00:27,519
back to college i was going to pick the

12
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:29,519
hardest major that i had enjoyed and i

13
00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:42,389
a traditional definition of what an

14
00:00:46,869 --> 00:00:45,200
instrument manager does is to make sure

15
00:00:48,069 --> 00:00:46,879
that the instrument does what it says

16
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:48,079
it's going to do so we meet our

17
00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:49,840
technical requirements

18
00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:51,760
it's that it's delivered on schedule and

19
00:00:56,229 --> 00:00:54,239
within cost i think the most powerful

20
00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:56,239
tool in an engineer's toolbox is the

21
00:01:01,029 --> 00:00:58,640
ability to break really complex problems

22
00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:01,039
down into smaller and smaller pieces

23
00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:02,800
until it's down to a piece that one

24
00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:06,479
person can manage in a day or in an hour

25
00:01:11,830 --> 00:01:08,159
one of the pieces that it's divided down

26
00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:11,840
into is the wide field camera 3.

27
00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:13,840
divide that down into small pieces i

28
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:15,920
need an electrical engineer to make sure

29
00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:17,600
that all of the circuitry works and then

30
00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:19,680
all the power goes to the right places i

31
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:21,840
need a mechanical engineer who is going

32
00:01:24,070 --> 00:01:22,640
to

33
00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:24,080
build the structure that holds all of

34
00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:26,479
this stuff i need an optics engineer we

35
00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:29,520
need detectors and my job is really to

36
00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:31,040
break that down

37
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:33,280
you know what what does it mean to to

38
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:35,600
build a thousand pounds of hardware

39
00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:44,149
i got the kind of job she can get

40
00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:46,000
without a college education and without

41
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:48,240
any motivation and being a young kid

42
00:01:51,510 --> 00:01:49,520
i needed to work on something that

43
00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:51,520
mattered to me that i needed to feel a

44
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:53,200
personal connection

45
00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:55,680
with making an investment in in the

46
00:02:05,830 --> 00:01:58,479
future in humanity's future

47
00:02:10,469 --> 00:02:08,550
i found out that when it matters to me

48
00:02:12,710 --> 00:02:10,479
and when i feel like i'm i'm being a

49
00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:12,720
part of big something bigger than myself

50
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:15,599
and i'm willing to try as hard as i can

51
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:18,640
nothing can stand in my way

52
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:20,560
no matter what it is that you're facing

53
00:02:24,869 --> 00:02:22,720
in your life the peace that is standing

54
00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:24,879
between you and your dream

55
00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:26,000
is you

56
00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:28,080
and that anybody can make a choice in

57
00:02:32,229 --> 00:02:30,080
their life to go after what matters to

58
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:32,239
them to get the skills that they need to

59
00:02:35,830 --> 00:02:33,920
go after what matters to them and they

60
00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:35,840
can get there because if i'm here
