00:01:32,580 --> 00:01:29,679 I'm also looking at the hashtag Hubble 41 00:01:35,370 --> 00:01:32,590 25 since this is a merging of the two 42 00:01:37,050 --> 00:01:35,380 for our 25th anniversary

that these 54 00:02:02,489 --> 00:01:58,929 days yeah so just let's get to today's 55 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:02,499 get to today's guest the Hubble Space 56 00:02:07,859 --> 00:02:05,890 Telescope has been in orbit now for 25 57 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:07,869 years and any of you who know anything 58 00:02:13,650 --> 00:02:11,170 about numbers knows that the number 25 59 00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:13,660 is way way better than the number 60 00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:17,110 for we have this tendency when when even 61 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:19,030 numbers rolled around to commemorate 62 00:02:25,260 --> 00:02:22,210 them we celebrate them and we want to 63 00:02:28,770 --> 00:02:25,270 and we are no exception and among the 64 00:02:30,540 --> 00:02:28,780 first people to celebrate the 25th year 65 00:02:33,020 --> 00:02:30,550 of the hubble space telescope in orbit 66 00:02:35,850 --> 00:02:33,030 it was launched in april of nineteen 67 00:02:38,220 --> 00:02:35,860 ninety and we're coming up quickly on 68 00:02:40,140 --> 00:02:38,230 that on that anniversary the people at 69 00:02:43,070 --> 00:02:40,150 the Intrepid Sea Air and Space Museum 70 00:02:46,110 --> 00:02:43,080 have opened an exhibit called Hubble at 71 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:46,120 25 and they're here to tell us about 72 00:02:49,260 --> 00:02:47,530 what they've got going and a little bit 73 00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:49,270 about the museum itself while to talk 74 00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:51,640 about it we have Eric beim he's the 75 00:02:58,860 --> 00:02:55,110 curator of aviation there at the at the 76 00:03:00,510 --> 00:02:58,870 Museum i also have Jerry bay hall she's 77 00:03:02,670 --> 00:03:00,520 the education manager there she is 78 00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:02,680 dealing with the stem she has stem 79 00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:04,060 projects and stuff she's going to tell 80 00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:06,190 us about as well as astronaut Mike 81 00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:08,560 Massimino even know him as estro mike on 82 00:03:13,290 --> 00:03:10,600 twitter he's actually been to Hubble 83 00:03:14,730 --> 00:03:13,300 touched it done things to it and then 84 00:03:16,170 --> 00:03:14,740 came back down again and he's going to 85 00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:16,180 tell us about some of his experiences 86 00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:18,640 there as well but let me go back so Eric 87 00:03:23,070 --> 00:03:20,800 let me start with you tell us a little 88 00:03:24,990 --> 00:03:23,080 bit give us a bird's-eye view of what 89 00:03:26,940 --> 00:03:25,000 the exhibit is as well as tell us a 90 00:03:28,740 --> 00:03:26,950 little bit about the intrepid museum so 91 00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:28,750 oh well the intrepid is just like the 92 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:30,310 greatest place in the world of work I 93 00:03:34,260 --> 00:03:31,690 mean this is an aircraft carrier that 94 00:03:36,180 --> 00:03:34,270 served through World War two the space 95 00:03:37,650 --> 00:03:36,190 race we recovered us got carpenters 96 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:37,660 mission and also recovered the first 97 00:03:42,030 --> 00:03:39,730 Gemini mission with the young and 98 00:03:44,850 --> 00:03:42,040 gruesome so a lot of space history here 99 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:44,860 already and then we got enterprise so we 100 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:46,810 were always looking for space things to 101 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:49,570 do and every summer we do with space and 102 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:51,130 science fest and we bring the astronauts 103 00:03:55,170 --> 00:03:53,650 out here as many as NASA let us have and 104 00:03:56,699 --> 00:03:55,180 I think it was hit up a mic here a 105 00:03:58,920 --> 00:03:56,709 couple of years ago and he put a little 106 00:04:01,020 --> 00:03:58,930 bug in our ear about that even number 107 00:04:02,250 --> 00:04:01,030 that 25 coming up for hobbles so we 108 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:02,260 really started thinking hard about that 109 00:04:07,590 --> 00:04:06,130 and that just kind of kicked it off so 110 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:07,600 Scott showing us a sort of an overview 111 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:10,690 of what the exhibit looks like at the at 112 00:04:13,949 --> 00:04:12,250 the intrepid my keg why don't you tell 113 00:04:16,830 --> 00:04:13,959 us a little bit about how did you get 114 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:16,840 involved what's your role here well Tony 115 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:20,650 I've been really lucky to get a chance 116 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:24,490 to contribute to this I am now i look at 117 00:04:29,220 --> 00:04:25,690 the astronaut program 118 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:29,230 and NASA back in July and now teaching 119 00:04:33,810 --> 00:04:31,570 at Columbia my faculty member there and 120 00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:33,820 i'm also an advisor here at the intrepid 121 00:04:37,380 --> 00:04:36,160 museum so i'm in new york city because 122 00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:37,390 were the opportunity do a lot of cool 123 00:04:44,850 --> 00:04:40,420 things including participate in this in 124 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:44,860 this exhibit so as my job as advisor I 125 00:04:50,250 --> 00:04:46,650 got to work with Eric and the team here 126 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:50,260 in trying to determine what we would 127 00:04:56,220 --> 00:04:52,210 like to have to show people here at the 128 00:05:00,330 --> 00:04:56,230 Museum so what artifacts would be would 129 00:05:03,450 --> 00:05:00,340 be interesting some of the tools that we 130 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:03,460 use in orbit or actually on display it's 131 00:05:07,310 --> 00:05:05,170 very personal a couple of our flown 132 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:07,320 items I flew a home plate in space on 133 00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:11,530 sts-125 from shea stadium for from New 134 00:05:15,150 --> 00:05:13,360 York City for the Mets we have that home 135 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:15,160 plate here we have a basketball that was 136 00:05:20,910 --> 00:05:17,530 used by Edwin Hubble the actual hubble 137 00:05:22,170 --> 00:05:20,920 hubble guy Hubble the dude was was from 138 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:22,180 the University of Chicago and played 139 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:23,410 basketball there wasn't just an 140 00:05:27,630 --> 00:05:24,970 astronomer we have a basketball that 141 00:05:29,580 --> 00:05:27,640 that that he played played with in a 142 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:29,590 game and he actually beat I think you'd 143 00:05:33,470 --> 00:05:31,570 betta Indiana was a very low-scoring 144 00:05:35,370 --> 00:05:33,480 game it was back on the old days 145 00:05:36,780 --> 00:05:35,380 basketballs and a bouncing ball back 146 00:05:39,750 --> 00:05:36,790 then but we have that kind of fun stuff 147 00:05:42,060 --> 00:05:39,760 but we also have some history about the 148 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:42,070 Hubble itself it didn't work as well as 149 00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:43,570 they would have liked there was problems 150 00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:44,800 with the optics and there's a story 151 00:05:48,690 --> 00:05:46,630 there how it was fixed and how the 152 00:05:52,110 --> 00:05:48,700 instruments work my favorite part of the 153 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:52,120 exhibit is and inside in the back of the 154 00:05:56,310 --> 00:05:54,970 exhibit we have I say incitement whole 155 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:56,320 things inside we got to go into the 156 00:06:00,480 --> 00:05:57,610 exhibit and go to the back there's a 157 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:00,490 special video room with footage from our 158 00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:01,810 training in the neutral buoyancy 159 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:03,790 laboratory which is our big pool that we 160 00:06:08,610 --> 00:06:06,130 practice our space walks in and it 161 00:06:10,860 --> 00:06:08,620 exactly it's not a big screen it's got 162 00:06:13,260 --> 00:06:10,870 the sounds behind it that we had in a 163 00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:13,270 pool and it reminds me so much of what 164 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:14,800 those training days were like all those 165 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:17,890 days that we spent over training over in 166 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:19,450 the in the big pool at the neutral 167 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:21,490 buoyancy laboratory so it's me it's very 168 00:06:25,050 --> 00:06:23,650 very personal to chose the stuff we use 169 00:06:27,390 --> 00:06:25,060 and it tells the story of the telescope 170 00:06:30,510 --> 00:06:27,400 but also of the crews and the science 171 00:06:33,030 --> 00:06:30,520 and it's I well you know I contributed 172 00:06:34,860 --> 00:06:33,040 through its own bias but I do I feel 173 00:06:36,270 --> 00:06:34,870 great yeah I want to go I want to get 174 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:36,280 back to a lot of your experiences on the 175 00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:37,450 shuttle and working there specifically 176 00:06:39,850 --> 00:06:38,510 working on the Hubble 177 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:39,860 I'm gonna get my do the exhibit itself a 178 00:06:44,050 --> 00:06:41,930 little bit with Eric when did it open 179 00:06:45,580 --> 00:06:44,060 when did it start and for how long will 180 00:06:47,620 --> 00:06:45,590 it be available for the public to come 181 00:06:49,750 --> 00:06:47,630 look at well we just opened it this 182 00:06:51,190 --> 00:06:49,760 october october twenty third and we're 183 00:06:53,980 --> 00:06:51,200 going to keep it over for almost 11 184 00:06:56,590 --> 00:06:53,990 months until mid-september of 2015 so 185 00:06:58,810 --> 00:06:56,600 we'll be open and right through the 186 00:07:02,800 --> 00:06:58,820 anniversary of the launch anniversary in 187 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:02,810 april so goes along with the exhibit are 188 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:04,490 a lot of programming we've already had a 189 00:07:08,830 --> 00:07:06,050 couple programs and these are evening 190 00:07:11,620 --> 00:07:08,840 programs but some other programs coming 191 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:11,630 up just kind of a concept we like to do 192 00:07:15,970 --> 00:07:14,090 kari and her team have all these 193 00:07:18,430 --> 00:07:15,980 educational programs for the kids or in 194 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:18,440 a day but the adult programming at night 195 00:07:22,660 --> 00:07:20,090 or the family programming at night is 196 00:07:24,850 --> 00:07:22,670 about big part of it so as i mentioned 197 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:24,860 at the top of the of the Hangout the 198 00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:27,530 Hubble has been up for 25 years and it's 199 00:07:32,050 --> 00:07:29,840 been circling over our heads not looking 200 00:07:34,030 --> 00:07:32,060 down at us but looking up at the outer 201 00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:34,040 reaches of the solar system and our 202 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:36,560 galaxy and the universe and I think it 203 00:07:42,220 --> 00:07:39,170 is more than any other scientific 204 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:42,230 instrument has given us with its 205 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:44,090 glimpses of the heavens it's given us 206 00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:47,810 more a perspective on our place in the 207 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:49,270 universe than I think any other 208 00:07:52,660 --> 00:07:51,290 telescope has ever done and I've often 209 00:07:54,820 --> 00:07:52,670 said and I don't think I'm overstating 210 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:54,830 and when I say this is that the Hubble 211 00:07:58,570 --> 00:07:56,570 Space Telescope in my opinion is the 212 00:08:00,880 --> 00:07:58,580 most single most important instrument 213 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:00,890 ever built and because of that because 214 00:08:05,470 --> 00:08:03,050 of its what it has shown us and taught 215 00:08:08,710 --> 00:08:05,480 us about the universe so Jerry when you 216 00:08:11,020 --> 00:08:08,720 are designing some of the education 217 00:08:14,140 --> 00:08:11,030 programs that go along with the exhibit 218 00:08:15,730 --> 00:08:14,150 and are you seeing any of that sense of 219 00:08:18,310 --> 00:08:15,740 wonder among the students you're 220 00:08:21,310 --> 00:08:18,320 teaching with this is it is the is the 221 00:08:22,780 --> 00:08:21,320 exhibit conveying that sort of sense of 222 00:08:25,330 --> 00:08:22,790 wonder that Hubble has always been 223 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:25,340 famous for I think absolutely especially 224 00:08:30,670 --> 00:08:27,410 for the younger kids who have grown up 225 00:08:32,290 --> 00:08:30,680 with a lot of these images and and they 226 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:32,300 recognize them and they might see them 227 00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:34,370 in you know popular culture and then to 228 00:08:40,450 --> 00:08:37,910 see these huge images underneath the 229 00:08:43,030 --> 00:08:40,460 Space Shuttle that we have it really 230 00:08:45,940 --> 00:08:43,040 does bring them to the science and 231 00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:45,950 technology that has made it possible 232 00:08:51,070 --> 00:08:48,110 they finally understand why it's 233 00:08:52,490 --> 00:08:51,080 important to have the telescope there up 234 00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:52,500 above the Earth's atmosphere 235 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:54,510 here and what it can do it really is 236 00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:57,090 amazing for them so tell us a little 237 00:09:00,410 --> 00:08:58,410 about some of the programs you've 238 00:09:02,780 --> 00:09:00,420 designed what are what specifically are 239 00:09:04,910 --> 00:09:02,790 you teaching kids and at jet what 240 00:09:07,550 --> 00:09:04,920 general age range are you targeting um 241 00:09:10,820 --> 00:09:07,560 we're actually we've been trying to 242 00:09:13,790 --> 00:09:10,830 target k through 12 hosts the whole 243 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:13,800 Schmeer I mean the K through the K 244 00:09:18,890 --> 00:09:15,330 through tues I admit are a little 245 00:09:21,260 --> 00:09:18,900 difficult but the exhibit is designed so 246 00:09:23,870 --> 00:09:21,270 well around stem science technology 247 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:23,880 engineering math that you can really 248 00:09:29,210 --> 00:09:26,490 target and focus the different age 249 00:09:30,590 --> 00:09:29,220 groups so for the little ones we 250 00:09:33,710 --> 00:09:30,600 actually lost you're invested in a 251 00:09:35,390 --> 00:09:33,720 portable planetarium um so was it a star 252 00:09:38,150 --> 00:09:35,400 lab I used to have one of them ah it is 253 00:09:39,470 --> 00:09:38,160 it did you tell us oh okay they've got 254 00:09:41,030 --> 00:09:39,480 the UH they've grown a lot i love those 255 00:09:45,290 --> 00:09:41,040 things those those those inflatable 256 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:45,300 things you walk away yeah yes oh you 257 00:09:51,020 --> 00:09:47,370 know for K through 2 kids who've never 258 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:51,030 been in one of those we show them images 259 00:09:56,900 --> 00:09:53,250 that are taken with Hubble inside the 260 00:09:59,090 --> 00:09:56,910 planetarium specifically at and we look 261 00:10:02,720 --> 00:09:59,100 at constellations and specifically stars 262 00:10:03,980 --> 00:10:02,730 in Orion and Ursa Major and then we take 263 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:03,990 them out of the planetarium and they get 264 00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:06,330 to create their own star story so you 265 00:10:10,970 --> 00:10:09,600 know we bring it down to a level for the 266 00:10:12,950 --> 00:10:10,980 caves or tues that are it's really 267 00:10:16,850 --> 00:10:12,960 accessible and then we show them where 268 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:16,860 those pictures came from and for the the 269 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:18,210 upper grades we talk about the 270 00:10:23,270 --> 00:10:20,850 spectrometers we look at um discreet 271 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:23,280 gases through fractal lenses it's 272 00:10:26,810 --> 00:10:25,170 actually really fun and then we talk 273 00:10:28,460 --> 00:10:26,820 about galaxy shapes the shapes of 274 00:10:31,970 --> 00:10:28,470 different galaxies and we actually do an 275 00:10:33,890 --> 00:10:31,980 art project so we bring together the 276 00:10:36,140 --> 00:10:33,900 science and then the art because these 277 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:36,150 really are beautiful photographs when 278 00:10:41,420 --> 00:10:38,370 you get right down to it so it's been a 279 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:41,430 lot of fun and it certainly has been a 280 00:10:46,130 --> 00:10:44,010 way to get our education kind of 281 00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:46,140 creative juices flowing it's been really 282 00:10:51,950 --> 00:10:50,880 wonderful so imma do you have to are all 283 00:10:54,590 --> 00:10:51,960 of your activities centered around 284 00:10:56,420 --> 00:10:54,600 things at the museum itself or let's say 285 00:10:57,770 --> 00:10:56,430 I'm a teacher can I contact you and 286 00:10:59,480 --> 00:10:57,780 would you have some activities maybe I 287 00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:59,490 can't go to the museum but maybe do you 288 00:11:04,310 --> 00:11:01,200 have some things maybe I could do in my 289 00:11:06,140 --> 00:11:04,320 classroom absolutely I mean we can 290 00:11:09,050 --> 00:11:06,150 design certain programs 40 291 00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:09,060 we have the capabilities obviously to 292 00:11:13,730 --> 00:11:12,690 beam into classrooms for certain and 293 00:11:16,780 --> 00:11:13,740 then there are a lot of other resources 294 00:11:22,310 --> 00:11:16,790 that were happy to connect people with 295 00:11:23,810 --> 00:11:22,320 so the so the one because it's 296 00:11:25,460 --> 00:11:23,820 underneath the enterprise and the 297 00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:25,470 enterprise for those who don't know the 298 00:11:30,380 --> 00:11:27,990 Space Shuttle enterprise is was not an 299 00:11:32,450 --> 00:11:30,390 actual working fully working space 300 00:11:34,850 --> 00:11:32,460 station or space straddle it was one of 301 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:34,860 those that they used to test fly to make 302 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:36,570 sure they could land it I remember we 303 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:39,290 was was a John Young to float the fluid 304 00:11:44,180 --> 00:11:42,810 Eric that that they glided the the 305 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:44,190 enterprise down in its first flight 306 00:11:48,110 --> 00:11:46,530 actually Fred Hayes on the first fret Oh 307 00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:48,120 was Fred hey sorry thank you for reading 308 00:11:52,340 --> 00:11:50,310 right Chad when young was the first 309 00:11:53,870 --> 00:11:52,350 commander of the space shuttle oh that's 310 00:11:57,260 --> 00:11:53,880 right that's what you think so the real 311 00:11:58,910 --> 00:11:57,270 first if sts-1 yes yes when John Young 312 00:12:00,470 --> 00:11:58,920 was the commander that's right and 313 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:00,480 Robert Robert Crippen went with him so 314 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:02,970 yeah yeah okay I right I got confused so 315 00:12:06,050 --> 00:12:04,770 but this this didn't have rocket engines 316 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:06,060 on it was just a sort of a 317 00:12:10,940 --> 00:12:08,490 proof-of-concept can we glide and land 318 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:10,950 this thing right Eric it was but it was 319 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:13,410 built as a spaceship structurally it was 320 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:16,770 all there it was okay of course yeah 321 00:12:21,230 --> 00:12:19,890 we've had the designation ov 101 the 100 322 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:21,240 series was supposed to be the orbital 323 00:12:27,110 --> 00:12:24,330 vehicles though it was built to be 324 00:12:29,060 --> 00:12:27,120 eventually converted into an orbital 325 00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:29,070 vehicle you know that has to change 326 00:12:32,300 --> 00:12:30,960 their mind later on because i think the 327 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:32,310 structure was a little heavy was going 328 00:12:37,670 --> 00:12:35,250 to be expensive to take the photons off 329 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:37,680 put real tiles on it and the engines and 330 00:12:43,070 --> 00:12:41,010 all the other systems and just uh guess 331 00:12:45,050 --> 00:12:43,080 they were moving forward each kenichi 332 00:12:47,150 --> 00:12:45,060 vehicle was lighter in weight as they 333 00:12:48,890 --> 00:12:47,160 were building them to sew and which is 334 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:48,900 really important for hauling pay load up 335 00:12:52,550 --> 00:12:50,850 was that because materials just got 336 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:52,560 better or they got smarter at building 337 00:12:55,700 --> 00:12:54,330 space shuttles in offer both things I've 338 00:12:58,790 --> 00:12:55,710 talked to engineer and I heard it's been 339 00:13:01,010 --> 00:12:58,800 materials and just structurally it's 340 00:13:03,830 --> 00:13:01,020 heavy when did you get it reminded 341 00:13:07,550 --> 00:13:03,840 remind me when you got enterprise two 342 00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:07,560 thousand eleven no twelve she tells I'm 343 00:13:14,870 --> 00:13:12,570 sorry oh yeah we were don't get so mad 344 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:14,880 when I do that to her I promise by yeah 345 00:13:17,290 --> 00:13:16,770 I know I'm gonna work yeah I'm putting 346 00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:17,300 her on 347 00:13:24,340 --> 00:13:22,160 rewarded and in my spring 2011 okay fine 348 00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:24,350 that's good enough we were still flying 349 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:26,720 real space shuttles game at me Thank You 350 00:13:30,250 --> 00:13:28,490 those are l12 but we were still flying 351 00:13:32,350 --> 00:13:30,260 to space shells in space in two thousand 352 00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:32,360 right so a year later they went through 353 00:13:37,509 --> 00:13:35,570 the museum's yeah 2012 so did so Jerry 354 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:37,519 you you got you give these students sort 355 00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:40,010 of a sense of just you know having the 356 00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:42,110 enterprise there helps you give them a 357 00:13:46,780 --> 00:13:43,910 sense of just how big Hubble was right 358 00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:46,790 yeah it is I mean and it's such right 359 00:13:50,470 --> 00:13:48,649 now it's such a fantastic connection to 360 00:13:52,420 --> 00:13:50,480 make because if you I don't know if 361 00:13:54,340 --> 00:13:52,430 we've got the shot of the exhibit again 362 00:13:56,650 --> 00:13:54,350 the exhibit it's set up like we said 363 00:13:59,139 --> 00:13:56,660 right underneath the shuttle so you can 364 00:14:01,509 --> 00:13:59,149 stand there with your group look up at 365 00:14:03,730 --> 00:14:01,519 the payload area of the shuttle and say 366 00:14:06,130 --> 00:14:03,740 it was designed to fit in that pelo 367 00:14:07,630 --> 00:14:06,140 because we have a decent sized model of 368 00:14:09,670 --> 00:14:07,640 it right now but for a lot of kids who 369 00:14:12,670 --> 00:14:09,680 don't understand scale and how large 370 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:12,680 actually you know things are to show 371 00:14:16,990 --> 00:14:14,570 them yeah I fit inside that payload it's 372 00:14:19,210 --> 00:14:17,000 about the same size as a large school 373 00:14:20,980 --> 00:14:19,220 bus it's really easy to make those real 374 00:14:23,710 --> 00:14:20,990 life connections which is what we try to 375 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:23,720 do with all our programming here on the 376 00:14:28,090 --> 00:14:26,570 ship yeah I vogue everybody always says 377 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:28,100 that the Hubble Space Telescope is the 378 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:30,050 size of a school bus and while that you 379 00:14:33,340 --> 00:14:31,490 know you say that and you can imagine a 380 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:33,350 school bus when you really actually see 381 00:14:38,740 --> 00:14:37,010 it it's pretty darn big so Mike you went 382 00:14:41,290 --> 00:14:38,750 up and you you went up and actually 383 00:14:43,030 --> 00:14:41,300 touch this thing how were you impressed 384 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:43,040 by how large it was what were some of 385 00:14:47,590 --> 00:14:44,690 your first thoughts for going up there 386 00:14:49,449 --> 00:14:47,600 yeah we yeah so that when you when you 387 00:14:51,610 --> 00:14:49,459 Ronnie I never saw the telescope before 388 00:14:55,030 --> 00:14:51,620 was launched I was launched in 1990 I 389 00:14:58,050 --> 00:14:55,040 became an astronaut 96 and started 390 00:15:00,610 --> 00:14:58,060 training for the flight more or less and 391 00:15:04,389 --> 00:15:00,620 in two thousand to fly my first flight 392 00:15:07,329 --> 00:15:04,399 to flood in 2002 and so when you running 393 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:07,339 with Hubble it starts out and you wake 394 00:15:11,079 --> 00:15:09,050 up more or less on the third day your 395 00:15:13,150 --> 00:15:11,089 third space space flight a flight day 396 00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:13,160 three is when we did our rendezvous 397 00:15:17,650 --> 00:15:15,649 vision so you see it on the hall right 398 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:17,660 away at now and say the rise but out 399 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:19,970 there in space somewhere as it looks 400 00:15:23,740 --> 00:15:22,130 like a star that keeps getting brighter 401 00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:23,750 and brighter as you get close to it as 402 00:15:28,210 --> 00:15:26,720 hours go by and then it starts to take 403 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:28,220 the shape of a telescope as you get 404 00:15:39,940 --> 00:15:37,329 oops uh-oh you got accidentally muted 405 00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:39,950 Mike can you a mute yourself my weekend 406 00:15:47,259 --> 00:15:45,529 are you okay right so um so I don't know 407 00:15:49,389 --> 00:15:47,269 where you were but as a I was saying how 408 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:49,399 the trouble starts out as a star yeah 409 00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:52,490 yeah it's bigger and bigger and in as 410 00:15:55,990 --> 00:15:54,320 you get close to it its arse you start 411 00:15:57,310 --> 00:15:56,000 seeing like a little telescope and it 412 00:15:59,290 --> 00:15:57,320 gets bigger and bigger and bigger and 413 00:16:01,030 --> 00:15:59,300 then it's like you recognize this Hubble 414 00:16:02,980 --> 00:16:01,040 and you can't close to an crap would 415 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:02,990 pull in a pail of day but it's it's 416 00:16:07,630 --> 00:16:04,730 really big I mean it's nowhere near as 417 00:16:09,370 --> 00:16:07,640 big as a space station but it's pretty 418 00:16:12,220 --> 00:16:09,380 impressive when you when you come up and 419 00:16:14,259 --> 00:16:12,230 see this thing after your gift in space 420 00:16:16,060 --> 00:16:14,269 for a few days and then you hit the mark 421 00:16:18,430 --> 00:16:16,070 and you're right there next to it well 422 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:18,440 so because of its size and the way you 423 00:16:21,850 --> 00:16:19,850 have to approach it with the space 424 00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:21,860 shuttle is there any worry that if 425 00:16:25,210 --> 00:16:23,510 you're not getting it just something I 426 00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:25,220 mean I don't know exactly how you grab 427 00:16:29,199 --> 00:16:26,870 on to it but was there is any worry 428 00:16:31,420 --> 00:16:29,209 about you know going at it too quickly 429 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:31,430 or maybe spinning it by accident maybe 430 00:16:35,740 --> 00:16:33,170 is there any danger is is it massive 431 00:16:37,780 --> 00:16:35,750 enough to sort of get there tells the 432 00:16:39,790 --> 00:16:37,790 telescope and the space station in kind 433 00:16:41,530 --> 00:16:39,800 of a role or some kind of the space show 434 00:16:43,030 --> 00:16:41,540 are you space shuttle space shuttle 435 00:16:46,030 --> 00:16:43,040 forgive me yeah you could all about you 436 00:16:50,050 --> 00:16:46,040 can do all kinds of bad things I'm 437 00:16:53,019 --> 00:16:50,060 really concerned about hitting it you go 438 00:16:55,540 --> 00:16:53,029 ahead I'm fast you're going 17,500 miles 439 00:16:57,730 --> 00:16:55,550 an hour and so is the telescope so 440 00:16:59,860 --> 00:16:57,740 you're flying in formation at 17,500 441 00:17:02,769 --> 00:16:59,870 miles an hour which is really fast and 442 00:17:05,350 --> 00:17:02,779 in the commander we all work together 443 00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:05,360 but it's primarily to commander in my 444 00:17:09,579 --> 00:17:07,370 flight Scott Altman who flies the 445 00:17:12,010 --> 00:17:09,589 shuttle manually up to within a couple 446 00:17:14,020 --> 00:17:12,020 inches of the telescope and the way we 447 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:14,030 grabbed it is with the robot on there's 448 00:17:17,290 --> 00:17:15,890 to grapple fixtures on Hubble the 449 00:17:21,100 --> 00:17:17,300 primary one is when we've always used 450 00:17:22,630 --> 00:17:21,110 and he gets it such that the target of 451 00:17:24,909 --> 00:17:22,640 that grapple fixture that we're going to 452 00:17:27,850 --> 00:17:24,919 grab with the robot arm is centered in 453 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:27,860 the camera of the of the of the arm of 454 00:17:33,490 --> 00:17:31,730 the manipulator arm so that the robot 455 00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:33,500 operate their own operator just has to 456 00:17:37,210 --> 00:17:35,840 kind of push in and go get the telescope 457 00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:37,220 but its orbital mechanics and rates 458 00:17:41,340 --> 00:17:39,710 going on so if you wait long enough with 459 00:17:43,810 --> 00:17:41,350 more than just a few seconds really 460 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:43,820 you'll start seeing mismatch he's trying 461 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:44,450 to match 462 00:17:50,019 --> 00:17:46,970 perfectly the attitude of the grapple 463 00:17:52,330 --> 00:17:50,029 fixture with the position of the robot 464 00:17:54,399 --> 00:17:52,340 arm and then turn it over to the the arm 465 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:54,409 operator to go in and grapple the 466 00:17:57,820 --> 00:17:56,090 telescope but it you've got to act 467 00:17:59,620 --> 00:17:57,830 pretty quickly you also don't want to 468 00:18:03,279 --> 00:17:59,630 bang it if you knock it it's a free 469 00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:03,289 flyer that's bad get off spinning yeah I 470 00:18:07,269 --> 00:18:04,760 mean all kinds of bad things can happen 471 00:18:11,350 --> 00:18:07,279 so no pressure nice put a lot of 472 00:18:14,529 --> 00:18:11,360 pressure in practice a lot in order to 473 00:18:16,419 --> 00:18:14,539 do that I am effort but but uh yeah 474 00:18:18,850 --> 00:18:16,429 megan macarthur on my second flight you 475 00:18:20,950 --> 00:18:18,860 is the first rookie to ever be entrusted 476 00:18:23,409 --> 00:18:20,960 with with the job of the way the 477 00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:23,419 telescope does you good night that's why 478 00:18:27,340 --> 00:18:25,760 that's probably bad day I will say on 479 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:27,350 behalf of the mission and all the people 480 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:29,690 at Space Telescope we sit in the 481 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:32,210 auditorium and in front of our TVs and 482 00:18:38,529 --> 00:18:34,970 computers and we hold our breaths that 483 00:18:40,450 --> 00:18:38,539 whole procedure is like oh my gosh 484 00:18:43,870 --> 00:18:40,460 anyway we're with you we're with you 485 00:18:45,310 --> 00:18:43,880 thank you that was a big mission to you 486 00:18:47,500 --> 00:18:45,320 did a lot of stuff to this to the 487 00:18:50,289 --> 00:18:47,510 telescope I mean one of the reasons that 488 00:18:53,259 --> 00:18:50,299 Hubble has been up there for 25 years 489 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:53,269 able to do what it does is because of 490 00:18:58,509 --> 00:18:55,730 this design capability of going up there 491 00:19:00,250 --> 00:18:58,519 grabbing on to it and opening up hatches 492 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:00,260 and pulling things out and pulling and 493 00:19:04,090 --> 00:19:02,090 putting other things in and you guys 494 00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:04,100 basically made an almost an entirely too 495 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:06,049 new telescope out there didn't you yeah 496 00:19:09,399 --> 00:19:07,730 every one of the science instruments so 497 00:19:11,649 --> 00:19:09,409 there was five servicing missions and 498 00:19:13,330 --> 00:19:11,659 over the course of the of the servicing 499 00:19:16,180 --> 00:19:13,340 missions each scientific instrument was 500 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:16,190 replaced new batteries we put on my left 501 00:19:19,570 --> 00:19:17,330 my second floor you put in new batteries 502 00:19:21,009 --> 00:19:19,580 the solar rays will replace twice the 503 00:19:23,289 --> 00:19:21,019 wide field camera itself one of the 504 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:23,299 sites of engagements is on a virgin 505 00:19:28,090 --> 00:19:26,090 three of that the right gyroscopes have 506 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:28,100 been replaced three times we just put 507 00:19:32,049 --> 00:19:29,450 those in the last time the most of the 508 00:19:35,289 --> 00:19:32,059 newest instead of a new power control 509 00:19:37,269 --> 00:19:35,299 unit new computer yeah so you can 510 00:19:39,580 --> 00:19:37,279 replace stuff the parts that were out so 511 00:19:41,590 --> 00:19:39,590 you replace those and every time you 512 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:41,600 replace an instrument or even though the 513 00:19:46,539 --> 00:19:43,570 component parts liking the gyroscopes 514 00:19:49,060 --> 00:19:46,549 the use the latest technology so as 515 00:19:51,549 --> 00:19:49,070 technology advanced you were able to put 516 00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:51,559 the new stuff in inside the telescope so 517 00:19:56,110 --> 00:19:53,600 and on my second mission it wasn't just 518 00:19:58,130 --> 00:19:56,120 replacing stuff it was fixing things we 519 00:20:00,710 --> 00:19:58,140 took two instruments that were that were 520 00:20:02,870 --> 00:20:00,720 broken and we show semesta the exhibit 521 00:20:04,910 --> 00:20:02,880 they had a power supply failure of the 522 00:20:07,370 --> 00:20:04,920 advanced camera for surveys and on a 523 00:20:08,900 --> 00:20:07,380 space telescope imaging spectrograph but 524 00:20:11,090 --> 00:20:08,910 we had to open those instruments up kind 525 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:11,100 of performed surgery on orbit that put 526 00:20:15,230 --> 00:20:13,770 new power supplies in yourself that was 527 00:20:18,290 --> 00:20:15,240 a little bit different because it wasn't 528 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:18,300 just removing in replace it was going 529 00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:20,250 and get inside of the instrument it was 530 00:20:25,630 --> 00:20:22,710 never intended to be worked on and take 531 00:20:28,970 --> 00:20:25,640 stuff out and put new Stephanie so um 532 00:20:32,150 --> 00:20:28,980 but but the the telescope did not leave 533 00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:32,160 unscathed did it Mike hey you kind of 534 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:34,710 broke it I'm here yeah we did yeah so 535 00:20:38,090 --> 00:20:36,570 gotta pee I really bringing the 536 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:38,100 telescope's all right I have pulled the 537 00:20:42,550 --> 00:20:40,290 handle you brought Hubble Space 538 00:20:45,290 --> 00:20:42,560 Telescope you're the man who broke it 539 00:20:47,150 --> 00:20:45,300 all right sure so I we gonna fool the 540 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:47,160 internal I pulled a handrail off of an 541 00:20:51,590 --> 00:20:49,290 instrument yep so what's the story there 542 00:20:53,450 --> 00:20:51,600 you had to it just you will turn well 543 00:20:55,910 --> 00:20:53,460 during one of the during one of the 544 00:20:58,580 --> 00:20:55,920 repairs for the space telescope imaging 545 00:21:00,290 --> 00:20:58,590 spectrograph we had to remove a handrail 546 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:00,300 and where they get to the access panel 547 00:21:07,010 --> 00:21:03,450 to remove that panel had that panel 548 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:07,020 itself had a hundred and i had a hundred 549 00:21:11,630 --> 00:21:09,570 and thirteen screws there were four 550 00:21:13,190 --> 00:21:11,640 screws on the handrail three of the 551 00:21:14,990 --> 00:21:13,200 screws came off the handrail but one was 552 00:21:17,300 --> 00:21:15,000 when it come off I kinda get the handle 553 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:17,310 out of a way to get to the access panel 554 00:21:21,260 --> 00:21:19,170 to get access to the access panel and 555 00:21:22,670 --> 00:21:21,270 after about an hour and a half the 556 00:21:24,830 --> 00:21:22,680 clever idea came to see better just 557 00:21:27,770 --> 00:21:24,840 ripped the handrail off we were supposed 558 00:21:29,270 --> 00:21:27,780 to remove it with by taking out all four 559 00:21:31,370 --> 00:21:29,280 screws were only three came out so I had 560 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:31,380 to rip the thing off so in truth yeah I 561 00:21:36,530 --> 00:21:33,090 did rip it off but it was had come off 562 00:21:38,350 --> 00:21:36,540 anyone okay Hague so I wish there's 563 00:21:40,820 --> 00:21:38,360 actually lane if you can make that 564 00:21:43,430 --> 00:21:40,830 thumbnail big there's the actual handle 565 00:21:46,820 --> 00:21:43,440 that at the exhibit exhibit has an angle 566 00:21:48,020 --> 00:21:46,830 so every piece is that's right glass of 567 00:21:51,410 --> 00:21:48,030 the exhibit and that's still on the 568 00:21:53,750 --> 00:21:51,420 telescope great thing was that after 569 00:21:56,180 --> 00:21:53,760 that the project actually published the 570 00:21:59,330 --> 00:21:56,190 shuttle gyros when Mike did that and it 571 00:22:05,740 --> 00:21:59,340 shows that the gyros won't like this the 572 00:22:08,740 --> 00:22:05,750 trace of it wow they're like oh wow 573 00:22:10,390 --> 00:22:08,750 come off so this is one of the things 574 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:10,400 you can see exhibit if you guys go to 575 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:12,650 the exhibit itself Eric maybe you could 576 00:22:15,700 --> 00:22:13,850 describe a little bit of some of the 577 00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:15,710 things and if Kimberly you can pan 578 00:22:18,970 --> 00:22:17,510 around a little bit maybe you could just 579 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:18,980 kind of just show us a little bit of 580 00:22:23,530 --> 00:22:20,930 overview of what's what's going on there 581 00:22:27,940 --> 00:22:23,540 what are we looking at Kimberly don't 582 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:27,950 make a sick slowly so the exhibit if you 583 00:22:32,050 --> 00:22:29,930 look at my title aviation curator i'm 584 00:22:33,730 --> 00:22:32,060 not really a space guy though I'm an 585 00:22:35,140 --> 00:22:33,740 enthusiast but it was fun to sit down 586 00:22:37,090 --> 00:22:35,150 with Mike and then start picking his 587 00:22:40,710 --> 00:22:37,100 brain to see what a clean piece of paper 588 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:40,720 where this can go and I'm very much into 589 00:22:45,220 --> 00:22:43,010 here at the intrepid really were here 590 00:22:47,380 --> 00:22:45,230 for the human aspect of it you know 591 00:22:49,660 --> 00:22:47,390 there's people that flew these airplanes 592 00:22:51,820 --> 00:22:49,670 and sailed in the ship and and fix this 593 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:51,830 wonderful machine so we really wanted to 594 00:22:56,530 --> 00:22:53,690 make sure that we we touched the human 595 00:22:58,660 --> 00:22:56,540 component so am I completely understood 596 00:23:00,610 --> 00:22:58,670 that he was like i'll use these tools 597 00:23:02,770 --> 00:23:00,620 and here are people that helped us 598 00:23:05,170 --> 00:23:02,780 design these tool so he put me in 599 00:23:07,660 --> 00:23:05,180 contact with great people like Joe 600 00:23:11,470 --> 00:23:07,670 Maguire Justin Cassidy and then sepi 601 00:23:13,710 --> 00:23:11,480 down near Goddard uh and then uh from 602 00:23:16,660 -->

00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:07,940 exhibit that's like it sits underneath 625 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:09,890 the shuttle if you when you're in these 626 00:24:15,669 --> 00:24:11,330 it and you look up you're going to see 627 00:24:17,950 --> 00:24:15,679 the belly of a enterprise so um and then 628 00:24:19,420 --> 00:24:17,960 there's all the images and so kimberly's 629 00:24:21,250 --> 00:24:19,430 give us a nice little walk around 630 00:24:23,170 --> 00:24:21,260 here just over there to the right is a 631 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:23,180 Mission Control we're trying to think of 632 00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:26,450 artistic ways to to show a lot of 633 00:24:32,770 --> 00:24:29,510 content we find that a lot of visitors 634 00:24:34,660 --> 00:24:32,780 don't have time to read you know big 635 00:24:38,140 --> 00:24:34,670 text panels kind of scare them away with 636 00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:38,150 iron yeah all right some of us just have 637 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:43,760 a DD I never read so I don't think you 638 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:46,610 mentioned the exhibit is real no it's 639 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:47,810 wrapped around stems kind of a 640 00:24:50,980 --> 00:24:49,010 no-brainer when you're dealing with an 641 00:24:53,350 --> 00:24:50,990 instrument like the Hubble it the 642 00:24:55,510 --> 00:24:53,360 science technology engineering and math 643 00:24:57,220 --> 00:24:55,520 it's all there but also the artistic 644 00:25:01,690 --> 00:24:57,230 elements and Kimberly's gone perfectly 645 00:25:03,850 --> 00:25:01,700 into our NBL lab so this is what we call 646 00:25:05,770 --> 00:25:03,860 an immersive experience you'll get 647 00:25:08,890 --> 00:25:05,780 inside and see the water effects and 648 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:08,900 this was a whole lot of fun getting some 649 00:25:12,940 --> 00:25:11,570 film clips from Johnston and folks at 650 00:25:16,930 --> 00:25:12,950 jen's were very helpful there's some 651 00:25:21,210 --> 00:25:16,940 people just finish so do you have not 652 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:21,220 signed disclaimers there is a very large 653 00:25:25,660 --> 00:25:23,930 curved screen in this room and the water 654 00:25:27,310 --> 00:25:25,670 effects which and make people feel like 655 00:25:28,900 --> 00:25:27,320 they're in water actually a woman tell 656 00:25:31,930 --> 00:25:28,910 me she was getting a little seasick 657 00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:31,940 under there but this is the sts-125 in 658 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:34,370 training and it was great to bring Mike 659 00:25:38,740 --> 00:25:36,890 in there the first time and he sat on 660 00:25:41,380 --> 00:25:38,750 the floor we had a conference call with 661 00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:41,390 a news outlet uh gonna be interview over 662 00:25:45,250 --> 00:25:43,370 the phone we gotta get going and he sat 663 00:25:46,570 --> 00:25:45,260 on the floor like a little kid and it's 664 00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:46,580 like oh this is that and there's any 665 00:25:51,460 --> 00:25:49,130 just uh it's a loop thing it runs for 666 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:51,470 several minutes but he really enjoyed it 667 00:25:56,110 --> 00:25:53,690 it brought him back home to training it 668 00:25:57,820 --> 00:25:56,120 so it was really good to see that and I 669 00:25:59,170 --> 00:25:57,830 go in there and i watch the visitors and 670 00:26:00,880 --> 00:25:59,180 the visitors they're just enthralled and 671 00:26:03,700 --> 00:26:00,890 they have that's really great balloon 672 00:26:07,380 --> 00:26:03,710 it's like this mercenary place it's my 673 00:26:09,460 --> 00:26:07,390 new happy place no as I might stop there 674 00:26:11,620 --> 00:26:09,470 so Mike let me ask you about the real 675 00:26:13,270 --> 00:26:11,630 tank is the real tank a good subs is it 676 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:13,280 anything at all like being in space I 677 00:26:19,930 --> 00:26:15,890 mean it is it a good substitute or is it 678 00:26:22,570 --> 00:26:19,940 really not that the same how good is it 679 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:22,580 prepare you working it is uh the best 680 00:26:28,390 --> 00:26:25,490 place to train to do a spacewalk it is 681 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:28,400 it is great you know if we prepare she 682 00:26:32,890 --> 00:26:30,410 did very well to get ready to do your 683 00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:32,900 job though the mock-up 684 00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:34,370 working with the suit the teamwork part 685 00:26:39,370 --> 00:26:37,310 of it you practice there and there's 686 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:39,380 other places we practice as well as 687 00:26:43,510 --> 00:26:40,850 other parts of the trainings not just 688 00:26:47,590 --> 00:26:43,520 the pool but the pool is is by far the 689 00:26:49,750 --> 00:26:47,600 most beneficial place to practice your 690 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:49,760 space walks so it prepares you very well 691 00:26:54,580 --> 00:26:51,050 it doesn't prepare you for the view 692 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:54,590 around you so I'll different by oh damn 693 00:26:58,180 --> 00:26:56,450 it lag it but the way that work your 694 00:26:59,850 --> 00:26:58,190 procedure the choreography working with 695 00:27:01,450 --> 00:26:59,860 your teammates working with the suit 696 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:01,460 understanding how you're going to do 697 00:27:05,740 --> 00:27:03,650 things it is fantastic it is the best 698 00:27:07,870 --> 00:27:05,750 the best ability is a best place to get 699 00:27:09,190 --> 00:27:07,880 ready I have several hours of this film 700 00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:09,200 and we had a boil it down to several 701 00:27:13,750 --> 00:27:12,110 minutes on the watch but I didn't make 702 00:27:16,300 --> 00:27:13,760 sure that the little clip of Mike with 703 00:27:19,990 --> 00:27:16,310 the handle yeah comes on it is anyway 704 00:27:21,610 --> 00:27:20,000 yeah some diesel it so Jerry do you have 705 00:27:24,850 --> 00:27:21,620 a lot of do you get a lot of school 706 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:24,860 groups coming through here uh yeah what 707 00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:26,090 would you give us an estimate how many 708 00:27:29,950 --> 00:27:28,130 do they come through the school day or 709 00:27:31,660 --> 00:27:29,960 how do they yeah they come through the 710 00:27:35,700 --> 00:27:31,670 school day um just to give you an idea 711 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:35,710 over the year we see about 800 discrete 712 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:38,930 classes in gallery programs and 713 00:27:42,100 --> 00:27:40,490 workshops so either they come for 60 714 00:27:45,550 --> 00:27:42,110 minutes or 90 minutes so that's over the 715 00:27:47,830 --> 00:27:45,560 school year we see 800 and we've noticed 716 00:27:50,230 --> 00:27:47,840 that since we you know have the 717 00:27:52,780 --> 00:27:50,240 Enterprise here now and we have the 718 00:27:54,250 --> 00:27:52,790 exhibit and we've really been pushing 719 00:27:56,500 --> 00:27:54,260 these programs because people don't 720 00:27:58,510 --> 00:27:56,510 often know that we have this great thing 721 00:28:00,160 --> 00:27:58,520 on the back of our aircraft carrier 722 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:00,170 that's not what they immediately think 723 00:28:03,850 --> 00:28:01,850 of when they think of the intrepid and 724 00:28:08,500 --> 00:28:03,860 but we actually have been getting quite 725 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:08,510 a few bookings for the space programs as 726 00:28:15,700 --> 00:28:10,610 we call it and it's just it's a really 727 00:28:18,190 --> 00:28:15,710 great way to tie in our intrepid history 728 00:28:19,750 --> 00:28:18,200 with the space race to you know real 729 00:28:22,150 --> 00:28:19,760 life science that's going on today it 730 00:28:24,430 --> 00:28:22,160 just makes it so much more enriching for 731 00:28:26,850 --> 00:28:24,440 the kids who come here um and one of the 732 00:28:29,170 --> 00:28:26,860 things we focus on particularly is 733 00:28:32,170 --> 00:28:29,180 problem solving and this is a great way 734 00:28:34,270 --> 00:28:32,180 to show all the different ways that you 735 00:28:36,460 --> 00:28:34,280 have to solve problems with things that 736 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:36,470 you know go up in space and stay there 737 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:38,690 for a long periods of time it's been 738 00:28:42,670 --> 00:28:41,570 really wonderful so yeah if you want to 739 00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:42,680 book a program and you're in the 740 00:28:47,710 --> 00:28:45,110 tri-state area give me a call 741 00:28:51,580 --> 00:28:47,720 you did it you got you got you got your 742 00:28:52,930 --> 00:28:51,590 plug so what do they call the word give 743 00:28:54,850 --> 00:28:52,940 it you know does their specific number 744 00:28:56,250 --> 00:28:54,860 is it on the web page it's on our web 745 00:28:58,150 --> 00:28:56,260 page so you can just look under 746 00:29:00,240 --> 00:28:58,160 education and there's a number of 747 00:29:03,250 --> 00:29:00,250 different ways that you can book 748 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:03,260 different programs but specifically if 749 00:29:07,660 --> 00:29:05,330 you want to come for a Hubble program 750 00:29:09,820 --> 00:29:07,670 you would be calling my office here in 751 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:09,830 the education department I'm on the I 752 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:12,530 manage the school and teacher programs 753 00:29:17,890 --> 00:29:15,290 team and so we're we are really working 754 00:29:20,380 --> 00:29:17,900 with teachers to design very specific 755 00:29:22,090 --> 00:29:20,390 programs that work with the Hubble 756 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:22,100 exhibit because it is a temporary 757 00:29:26,590 --> 00:29:24,770 exhibition it's not something that we're 758 00:29:28,150 --> 00:29:26,600 going to sadly be offering after next 759 00:29:30,580 --> 00:29:28,160 year so we really want to get people in 760 00:29:32,380 --> 00:29:30,590 here to see it as much as possible so so 761 00:29:34,630 --> 00:29:32,390 book your classes now that's an intrepid 762 00:29:36,580 --> 00:29:34,640 museum dot org and you have all of them 763 00:29:38,230 --> 00:29:36,590 there got a couple questions on the Q&A 764 00:29:40,750 --> 00:29:38,240 app I got one for you I think it's 765 00:29:43,539 --> 00:29:40,760 probably for mike patrick Calhoun is 766 00:29:47,770 --> 00:29:43,549 asking what did your boss say about you 767 00:29:56,020 --> 00:29:47,780 ripping the handle off um a fly off the 768 00:29:58,090 --> 00:29:56,030 handle i ah anybody else any other wise 769 00:30:01,900 --> 00:29:58,100 noise pranks there you go to let him 770 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:01,910 here for um no it says you say what am I 771 00:30:06,789 --> 00:30:04,730 bossy because they were pretty they were 772 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:06,799 our boss was pretty happy the chief 773 00:30:10,030 --> 00:30:08,090 astronaut it was mine you know they were 774 00:30:11,650 --> 00:30:10,040 just happy that we number one you get 775 00:30:15,340 --> 00:30:11,660 back alive and hang the mission was 776 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:15,350 accomplished so I think it was I think 777 00:30:18,490 --> 00:30:16,730 everyone was pretty happy that we can't 778 00:30:19,630 --> 00:30:18,500 would a solution that worked so they 779 00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:19,640 didn't care at all that I ripped the 780 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:21,710 thing off in fact that is uh it was 781 00:30:26,289 --> 00:30:24,410 actually showed how you can use some I 782 00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:26,299 guess some kind of primitive methods to 783 00:30:31,690 --> 00:30:29,270 do something really advanced in space it 784 00:30:32,890 --> 00:30:31,700 was very clever it was yeah wouldn't i 785 00:30:34,930 --> 00:30:32,900 think i'd still be thinking about how to 786 00:30:37,570 --> 00:30:34,940 solve that problem to say five years 787 00:30:39,130 --> 00:30:37,580 later oh not arrow kate anything charge 788 00:30:42,909 --> 00:30:39,140 me for the handrail or anything you let 789 00:30:44,710 --> 00:30:42,919 me go okay it's on a house it has the 790 00:30:47,650 --> 00:30:44,720 virtue of being a simple solution also 791 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:47,660 that's right okay Cecil Morgan is asking 792 00:30:53,230 --> 00:30:49,490 and I think I'll give this one to you 793 00:30:55,510 --> 00:30:53,240 Eric or if it's better for Jerry you let 794 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:55,520 me know will the museum have an online 795 00:31:00,029 --> 00:30:57,850 version of the HST exhibit 796 00:31:03,690 --> 00:31:00,039 that is going to be for Eric because oh 797 00:31:04,980 --> 00:31:03,700 boy department at the moment we don't 798 00:31:07,650 --> 00:31:04,990 have that capability but it is 799 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:07,660 definitely on our radar and something we 800 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:09,370 want to do in the future when I said 801 00:31:13,049 --> 00:31:10,450 what would that be some kind of virtual 802 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:13,059 sort of walk through thing is that what 803 00:31:16,650 --> 00:31:14,530 is that what he would have in mind or 804 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:16,660 some kind of you know map out of the 805 00:31:21,390 --> 00:31:18,970 whole thing the old have the the high 806 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:21,400 points and interactive point that people 807 00:31:25,919 --> 00:31:24,010 can actually play with that would be the 808 00:31:28,890 --> 00:31:25,929 goal in the future yes I'm sure it's 809 00:31:30,919 --> 00:31:28,900 can't wait for ya it would be nice okay 810 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:30,929 Nathaniel a is this is also from Mike 811 00:31:43,350 --> 00:31:38,370 Nathaniel Sanchez Mike ! Lord angel ! 812 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:43,360 any plans to return to star talk ah I 813 00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:45,010 don't know they haven't asked me lately 814 00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:47,289 so I'd be happy to go so I guess the 815 00:31:51,299 --> 00:31:49,150 answer to that is is that indeed all but 816 00:31:53,789 --> 00:31:51,309 sure I'll go back yeah that's at Cindy 817 00:31:56,250 -->

00:32:27,250 do a thing no sorry I haven't been on 829 00:32:30,029 --> 00:32:28,510 the show for a little bit but it's fun 830 00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:30,039 going out done so no wife shows with 831 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:32,289 meal and been on here a couple times I 832 00:32:34,890 --> 00:32:33,490 don't know if he's still doing the show 833 00:32:37,620 --> 00:32:34,900 she's still doing her show is Nathaniel 834 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:37,630 assure you they're doing live shows are 835 00:32:41,909 --> 00:32:40,570 gonna be out here in LA okay so I'm 836 00:32:43,409 --> 00:32:41,919 gonna be out there with all right cool 837 00:32:46,169 --> 00:32:43,419 ya know I have been on it for a little 838 00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:46,179 while but I'll get back there again it's 839 00:32:51,630 --> 00:32:50,110 always fun to you Neil yeah so a scott 840 00:32:52,950 --> 00:32:51,640 chapman and I'll and Carol i'll include 841 00:32:55,620 --> 00:32:52,960 you in this if you feel like answering 842 00:32:57,830 --> 00:32:55,630 it it's would there be any advantage to 843 00:33:00,659 --> 00:32:57,840 putting a telescope on the moon surface 844 00:33:02,430 --> 00:33:00,669 vs in Earth orbit sort of a general 845 00:33:04,140 --> 00:33:02,440 question not necessarily related to 846 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:04,150 Hubble so we have Hubble in orbit are 847 00:33:09,649 --> 00:33:06,010 there any advantages to putting one on 848 00:33:11,670 --> 00:33:09,659 the on the moon said the dark side it ok 849 00:33:14,670 --> 00:33:11,680 number one it's 850 00:33:18,780 --> 00:33:14,680 not dark side really hi you would get on 851 00:33:20,820 --> 00:33:18,790 this side that is right it is the side 852 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:20,830 that doesn't face the earth sometimes 853 00:33:26,870 --> 00:33:23,170 it's dark sometimes it's light and that 854 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:26,880 is one of them yeah yeah okay 855 00:33:32,220 --> 00:33:29,770 considerations is that there are extreme 856 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:32,230 temperature changes number two if you 857 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:33,730 put it back there then you need 858 00:33:38,790 --> 00:33:35,770 something in orbit around the moon to 859 00:33:40,650 --> 00:33:38,800 transfer the data or you got to send 860 00:33:44,790 --> 00:33:40,660 people down there to get the data which 861 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:44,800 is kind of a throwback they have we have 862 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:47,170 talked with in our community about a 863 00:33:52,590 --> 00:33:49,810 radio telescope but again because the 864 00:33:54,180 --> 00:33:52,600 structure might be more tolerant of 865 00:33:56,370 --> 00:33:54,190 changes in temperature if you put 866 00:33:59,310 --> 00:33:56,380 something optical in there even even 867 00:34:01,080 --> 00:33:59,320 Hubble has a breathing mode because when 868 00:34:04,470 --> 00:34:01,090 it goes around the earth and it goes in 869 00:34:06,870 --> 00:34:04,480 and out of that thermal environment you 870 00:34:09,930 --> 00:34:06,880 know the telescope breathe so a radio 871 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:09,940 telescope might be less sensitive to 872 00:34:13,770 --> 00:34:12,010 that because you wouldn't really see 873 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:13,780 those perturbations but again you have 874 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:15,490 the problem with you know building it 875 00:34:19,950 --> 00:34:17,650 back there what kind of facility you're 876 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:19,960 going to have it be great I mean a bit 877 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:22,570 wonderful autonomy but but logistically 878 00:34:28,770 --> 00:34:25,450 it might not be the smartest thing to do 879 00:34:31,530 --> 00:34:28,780 but we always chat about it i'm in the 880 00:34:33,780 --> 00:34:31,540 astronomical community okay so that got 881 00:34:36,630 --> 00:34:33,790 a good question thank you Scott um so 882 00:34:43,650 --> 00:34:36,640 the oh woot vanderheiden's is commenting 883 00:34:48,090 --> 00:34:43,660 he's tweeting Neil now so long ordeal 884 00:34:51,060 --> 00:34:48,100 hello yeah poor meal I'm sure um okay so 885 00:34:52,650 --> 00:34:51,070 uh Eric I just gotta ask and I don't 886 00:34:54,150 --> 00:34:52,660 know if you do that if I work there at 887 00:34:55,740 --> 00:34:54,160 the intrepid museum and I had an 888 00:35:02,360 --> 00:34:55,750 aircraft carrier do you guys ever go up 889 00:35:05,070 --> 00:35:02,370 on the deck and sing i'm on a boat I 890 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:05,080 come to work early every morning and I 891 00:35:09,630 --> 00:35:07,810 could and I do sick because this is just 892 00:35:12,780 --> 00:35:09,640 a remarkable place to you or you're 893 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:12,790 saying that song but I hasn't saying 894 00:35:17,310 --> 00:35:14,410 I've been here almost 10 years now and 895 00:35:19,620 --> 00:35:17,320 this is uh it's an accredited place that 896 00:35:21,420 --> 00:35:19,630 just did it's amazing well you gotta you 897 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:21,430 gotta listen to the song just to do a 898 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:22,810 google and i'm on a boat I think it's 899 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:24,850 t-pain or somebody's 900 00:35:29,130 --> 00:35:27,490 afraid that's not safe for work so we're 901 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:29,140 not gonna mention that on it yeah that's 902 00:35:35,940 --> 00:35:33,130 not safe so I just wondered if you do 903 00:35:37,650 --> 00:35:35,950 that okay so the in addition to the 904 00:35:39,810 --> 00:35:37,660 enterprise what other things you since 905 00:35:41,310 --> 00:35:39,820 you're the creator of aviation there's a 906 00:35:43,590 --> 00:35:41,320 lot of other interesting things that the 907 00:35:44,940 --> 00:35:43,600 at the museum as well right Eric oh boy 908 00:35:46,530 --> 00:35:44,950 we got some cool stuff here so our 909 00:35:51,380 --> 00:35:46,540 collection of aircraft range from a 910 00:35:53,610 --> 00:35:51,390 world war two torpedo bomber to an a 12 911 00:35:57,210 --> 00:35:53,620 project upskirt some people call the 912 00:35:58,950 --> 00:35:57,220 Blackbird the relative of the the sr-71 913 00:36:01,710 --> 00:35:58,960 and we even have a british airways 914 00:36:04,230 --> 00:36:01,720 concord here so there's 27 airplanes in 915 00:36:06,420 --> 00:36:04,240 total we also have a submarine here a 916 00:36:08,610 --> 00:36:06,430 guided missile submarine that has it's a 917 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:08,620 cold war-era submarine with a Regulus 918 00:36:12,870 --> 00:36:11,290 missile on it one of the things that's 919 00:36:14,850 --> 00:36:12,880 really great I right underneath our 920 00:36:16,590 --> 00:36:14,860 enterprise towards the back end the way 921 00:36:19,410 --> 00:36:16,600 from where the Hubble exhibit is we have 922 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:19,420 a store use games an actual phones 923 00:36:25,110 --> 00:36:22,290 capsule yes so that was donated to us by 924 00:36:27,870 --> 00:36:25,120 Greg Olsen who I think he was the third 925 00:36:29,610 --> 00:36:27,880 participant that went up to the ISS with 926 00:36:32,460 --> 00:36:29,620 the Russians and when he came back he 927 00:36:34,410 --> 00:36:32,470 brought his capsule home and we would 928 00:36:37,230 --> 00:36:34,420 really love having it here because it 929 00:36:39,180 --> 00:36:37,240 just shows a piece of tech not a lot 930 00:36:40,770 --> 00:36:39,190 Soyuz capsules on display here in the 931 00:36:43,980 --> 00:36:40,780 United States so it's great to have it 932 00:36:46,260 --> 00:36:43,990 here yeah that is awesome so is there 933 00:36:48,090 --> 00:36:46,270 any um so Mike one of the things I like 934 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:48,100 to do when I have people who you know 935 00:36:51,870 --> 00:36:50,770 have done some amazing like been an 936 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:51,880 astronaut I've been a scientist 937 00:36:54,330 --> 00:36:53,170 astronomer and things like that I've had 938 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:54,340 Nobel Prize winners I've asked this 939 00:36:58,950 --> 00:36:56,890 question to what advice would you give 940 00:37:01,770 --> 00:36:58,960 to younger people who are just starting 941 00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:01,780 out let's say what is he I guess can you 942 00:37:05,790 --> 00:37:03,730 give us some sense of what the astronaut 943 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:05,800 corps is like now is there is it still 944 00:37:10,350 --> 00:37:07,450 possible to become an astronaut I know 945 00:37:11,790 --> 00:37:10,360 when NASA's got future plans what would 946 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:11,800 what advice would you give to somebody 947 00:37:17,550 --> 00:37:14,850 who wanted to become an astronaut oh 948 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:17,560 yeah well NASA we just picked a group of 949 00:37:23,100 --> 00:37:20,050 a year ago we picked only eight new 950 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:23,110 astronauts a year ago so it's pretty 951 00:37:27,570 --> 00:37:25,330 competitive there's I think kind of over 952 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:27,580 6,000 applications you come to pick a 953 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:31,770 people 6,000 yeah something like that so 954 00:37:37,500 --> 00:37:34,810 it's a tough job to get anyone who gets 955 00:37:38,590 --> 00:37:37,510 to become an astronaut is well qualified 956 00:37:40,970 --> 00:37:38,600 but also 957 00:37:42,980 --> 00:37:40,980 fortunate because there's not that many 958 00:37:46,370 --> 00:37:42,990 spots but there's still that possibility 959 00:37:47,780 --> 00:37:46,380 I think now that we have some commercial 960 00:37:50,210 --> 00:37:47,790 companies are working with to provide 961 00:37:52,010 --> 00:37:50,220 law services of people to the 962 00:37:54,470 --> 00:37:52,020 international space station is going to 963 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:54,480 be more seats and we're going to need 964 00:37:57,260 --> 00:37:55,890 more astronauts so I think that those 965 00:38:00,320 --> 00:37:57,270 numbers will increase that the class 966 00:38:02,450 --> 00:38:00,330 size that I was in back in 1996 we have 967 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:02,460 35 Americans so that was a pretty bit of 968 00:38:06,830 --> 00:38:04,650 class so depending on what the need is 969 00:38:08,210 --> 00:38:06,840 they look at that amount of new ass 970 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:08,220 rocity so I think that numbers going to 971 00:38:12,050 --> 00:38:09,930 start to increase again it went down I 972 00:38:13,490 --> 00:38:12,060 think it's gotten lower now I thinking 973 00:38:14,690 --> 00:38:13,500 next coming next few selections are 974 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:14,700 going to see it starting to rise up 975 00:38:17,420 --> 00:38:16,050 again they're going to need more and 976 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:17,430 more people and though there is there is 977 00:38:21,020 --> 00:38:19,530 still a massively active astronaut corps 978 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:21,030 yeah of course yeah sorry to me I just 979 00:38:24,530 --> 00:38:22,890 think a granted everybody knows that but 980 00:38:26,420 --> 00:38:24,540 we'd but many people don't okay the 981 00:38:28,490 --> 00:38:26,430 London I mean I you know if to America's 982 00:38:30,170 --> 00:38:28,500 in space right now we got to Americans 983 00:38:33,950 --> 00:38:30,180 in space right now orbiting in the space 984 00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:33,960 station so so there's six people in 985 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:35,310 space right now to have more Americans 986 00:38:38,870 --> 00:38:37,290 so yeah if you're in if you're from 987 00:38:40,550 --> 00:38:38,880 other countries too or we have appealed 988 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:40,560 from Europe that shots from Europe 989 00:38:44,810 --> 00:38:42,690 Canada all around the world Japan and so 990 00:38:46,460 --> 00:38:44,820 on so just how wherever you are it might 991 00:38:48,620 --> 00:38:46,470 be listen to this if yours country of 992 00:38:50,450 --> 00:38:48,630 space program there's the opportunity to 993 00:38:52,460 --> 00:38:50,460 do that it uses a goal that's what I did 994 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:52,470 I mean it's unlike it was unlikely when 995 00:38:55,730 --> 00:38:53,970 I applied when I was dreaming about it 996 00:38:56,930 --> 00:38:55,740 but it's kind of the chances with zero 997 00:38:58,430 --> 00:38:56,940 if you don't know anything about it 998 00:39:00,950 --> 00:38:58,440 that's all the meth what you want to do 999 00:39:02,270 --> 00:39:00,960 that's just you know I was who dat who 1000 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:02,280 dat knew I was would be able to do it 1001 00:39:06,170 --> 00:39:04,530 but in any of my colleagues with a lady 1002 00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:06,180 the same story yeah so unlikely but 1003 00:39:09,950 --> 00:39:07,710 you're not going to do it unless you try 1004 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:09,960 so if so if people I want to do that 1005 00:39:13,490 --> 00:39:11,490 their students I want to do that kids I 1006 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:13,500 want to do that it's great um they're 1007 00:39:17,750 --> 00:39:15,570 still picking people from technical 1008 00:39:19,010 --> 00:39:17,760 background so that can be just about 1009 00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:19,020 anything I mean you mentioned 1010 00:39:23,540 --> 00:39:21,510 astronomers but we only have engineers 1011 00:39:28,670 --> 00:39:23,550 pilots medical doctors veterinarian 1012 00:39:30,500 --> 00:39:28,680 rippling and a geology these guys people 1013 00:39:34,250 --> 00:39:30,510 I flew with for example drew Wisel 1014 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:34,260 geologists magna carta an oceanographer 1015 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:36,930 uh Rick lenihan I mentioned as a 1016 00:39:40,850 --> 00:39:39,090 veterinarian so there's there's lots of 1017 00:39:42,410 --> 00:39:40,860 different backgrounds and some of you 1018 00:39:43,940 --> 00:39:42,420 might not associate with space travel 1019 00:39:45,850 --> 00:39:43,950 you might think astronomer engineer a 1020 00:39:48,410 --> 00:39:45,860 pilot but just about anything 1021 00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:48,420 technically oriented medicine math 1022 00:39:52,210 --> 00:39:50,730 whatever it might be computers put it 1023 00:39:54,910 --> 00:39:52,220 makes you qualified you can see the list 1024 00:40:00,099 --> 00:39:54,920 these things on the website on the NHS 1025 00:40:01,540 --> 00:40:00,109 election website or that NASA so if you 1026 00:40:04,089 --> 00:40:01,550 want it if you want to do it yeah I mean 1027 00:40:06,370 --> 00:40:04,099 yeah it's unlikely maybe if that could 1028 00:40:09,310 --> 00:40:06,380 happen to me and if that's what your 1029 00:40:10,420 --> 00:40:09,320 dream is you gotta try again I think the 1030 00:40:12,070 --> 00:40:10,430 opportunity is always going to be there 1031 00:40:13,330 --> 00:40:12,080 for a long time I think it's very 1032 00:40:15,700 --> 00:40:13,340 exciting to is there may be other 1033 00:40:19,390 --> 00:40:15,710 opportunities with commercial companies 1034 00:40:21,670 --> 00:40:19,400 as companies like SpaceX and Virgin 1035 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:21,680 Galactic and these other companies had 1036 00:40:26,410 --> 00:40:24,290 to put people into space I think there's 1037 00:40:28,750 --> 00:40:26,420 going to be not only NASA government 1038 00:40:30,370 --> 00:40:28,760 astronauts like I was but I think 1039 00:40:31,750 --> 00:40:30,380 they'll also be astronauts working for 1040 00:40:34,180 --> 00:40:31,760 these other companies so I think there's 1041 00:40:35,470 --> 00:40:34,190 there's lots of opportunities coming up 1042 00:40:37,900 --> 00:40:35,480 for the for young people who are 1043 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:37,910 interested in flying into space and if 1044 00:40:43,930 --> 00:40:40,490 you have that dream you should do it you 1045 00:40:46,930 --> 00:40:43,940 should try you know do what you love but 1046 00:40:48,700 --> 00:40:46,940 keep an eye on on what your goal is you 1047 00:40:51,070 --> 00:40:48,710 know and again it could be whatever you 1048 00:40:53,530 --> 00:40:51,080 want I mean any technical field is a 1049 00:40:55,990 --> 00:40:53,540 qualifying feel so pick the field that 1050 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:56,000 that you like if you couldn't be that's 1051 00:40:59,320 --> 00:40:57,410 not what would you want to do that's you 1052 00:41:01,120 --> 00:40:59,330 should do you need apply to be a 1053 00:41:02,050 --> 00:41:01,130 national at the same time well it sounds 1054 00:41:03,670 --> 00:41:02,060 to me like there would be kind of an 1055 00:41:05,650 --> 00:41:03,680 inherent bias though towards some 1056 00:41:08,589 --> 00:41:05,660 engineering fields if I might be more 1057 00:41:10,570 --> 00:41:08,599 likely to you know more of it more the 1058 00:41:12,220 --> 00:41:10,580 more spots open for an engineer type and 1059 00:41:13,930 --> 00:41:12,230 say maybe a science type or wood or is 1060 00:41:15,609 --> 00:41:13,940 that just not true well I mean you might 1061 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:15,619 uh might be true but guess what get some 1062 00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:17,170 you know if you look at a number of 1063 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:20,089 applications yeah there's probably more 1064 00:41:25,750 --> 00:41:23,690 you know there's it's you know what I 1065 00:41:28,570 --> 00:41:25,760 want to consider you do any love because 1066 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:28,580 i think i figured i picked someone from 1067 00:41:32,650 --> 00:41:30,770 the life sciences area or it's going to 1068 00:41:34,720 --> 00:41:32,660 be a smaller pool because maybe that's 1069 00:41:36,430 --> 00:41:34,730 less there's lots of Engineers right so 1070 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:36,440 it's going to that's a huge group i 1071 00:41:41,079 --> 00:41:39,050 reviewed applications this grew up 1072 00:41:43,180 --> 00:41:41,089 different for different selections that 1073 00:41:45,070 --> 00:41:43,190 we've had at nasa astronaut selection 1074 00:41:47,140 --> 00:41:45,080 and the you the biggest group is always 1075 00:41:48,579 --> 00:41:47,150 the engineers that doesn't mean you have 1076 00:41:50,650 --> 00:41:48,589 the greatest chance because if you're 1077 00:41:53,020 --> 00:41:50,660 they're going to pick five from that 1078 00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:53,030 group and there's a you know more so it 1079 00:41:56,050 --> 00:41:54,920 i don't think you can play numbers like 1080 00:41:57,849 --> 00:41:56,060 that i think that's not a good way to 1081 00:41:59,230 --> 00:41:57,859 look at it you should never pick your 1082 00:42:00,730 --> 00:41:59,240 career based on what you think is going 1083 00:42:02,620 --> 00:42:00,740 to make give you a chance to be an 1084 00:42:04,990 --> 00:42:02,630 astronaut do not do that that is a 1085 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:05,000 stupid thing to do don't pick don't pick 1086 00:42:06,590 --> 00:42:05,490 your career 1087 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:06,600 because I'm going to do this because I'm 1088 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:08,130 going to become an instrument pick your 1089 00:42:12,410 --> 00:42:10,530 career of what you want to do and apply 1090 00:42:14,390 --> 00:42:12,420 to be an astronaut myth that career if 1091 00:42:15,620 --> 00:42:14,400 you have a love for medicine and you 1092 00:42:17,930 --> 00:42:15,630 think we'll have a better chance to be 1093 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:17,940 an astronaut if I my engineer don't do 1094 00:42:23,690 --> 00:42:20,970 that become a medical doc that's great 1095 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:23,700 it is going to you know I it's not only 1096 00:42:26,990 --> 00:42:25,290 going to give you a good career in case 1097 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:27,000 you don't become an astronaut but I 1098 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:28,650 think it gives you the best chance of 1099 00:42:31,550 --> 00:42:30,090 becoming an astronaut that's great 1100 00:42:33,260 --> 00:42:31,560 advice you're going to want to get into 1101 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:33,270 a situation where you become a finalist 1102 00:42:36,770 --> 00:42:34,650 and you're in at an interview and 1103 00:42:38,090 --> 00:42:36,780 they're going to ask you why did you do 1104 00:42:40,310 --> 00:42:38,100 this if you said well the only reason I 1105 00:42:41,900 --> 00:42:40,320 became an engineer was because you know 1106 00:42:42,980 --> 00:42:41,910 you could lie i guess but if the truth 1107 00:42:44,510 --> 00:42:42,990 of it is the only reason you became an 1108 00:42:45,770 --> 00:42:44,520 edema to become an answer that's fine 1109 00:42:46,790 --> 00:42:45,780 that's such a good idea you should 1110 00:42:47,900 --> 00:42:46,800 become an engineer because that's what 1111 00:42:49,010 --> 00:42:47,910 you want to study to become a medical 1112 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:49,020 doctor because that's what you want to 1113 00:42:54,470 --> 00:42:51,930 do or whatever it might be and and if 1114 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:54,480 you're if you do the best you can at 1115 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:56,130 that profession you love what you do 1116 00:42:58,609 --> 00:42:57,090 that gives you the best chance of 1117 00:43:00,290 --> 00:42:58,619 becoming a national but also in your 1118 00:43:03,260 --> 00:43:00,300 point on being the best of the best are 1119 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:03,270 usually selected if you are really happy 1120 00:43:06,350 --> 00:43:04,530 and passionate about you're doing that's 1121 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:06,360 much more likely to be the case perfect 1122 00:43:10,130 --> 00:43:08,850 Odessa I that's a new set in a few words 1123 00:43:12,740 --> 00:43:10,140 for what I've been trying to

going up into space how is it to be on 1138 00:43:44,359 --> 00:43:42,300 the big bang theory that was really a 1139 00:43:48,980 --> 00:43:44,369 lot of fun I love being on the Big Bang 1140 00:43:54,349 --> 00:43:48,990 Theory it's it's it's really just pure 1141 00:43:57,260 --> 00:43:54,359 fun the the cast is great the secular 1142 00:43:59,900 --> 00:43:57,270 producers director the
