1
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:03,710
growing up as a kid I'm really like

2
00:00:07,610 --> 00:00:05,850
looking at the Stars and that really

3
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:07,620
gave me a good interest in astronomy so

4
00:00:13,310 --> 00:00:09,120
I wanted to be in a genre when I was

5
00:00:15,379 --> 00:00:13,320
growing up hello my name is Gregory

6
00:00:17,779 --> 00:00:15,389
Villar and I'm a senior at Cal Poly

7
00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:17,789
Pomona and I'm majoring in physics and

8
00:00:35,299 --> 00:00:33,840
minoring in mathematics right now i'm

9
00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:35,309
actually studying objects called

10
00:00:39,319 --> 00:00:37,920
planetary nebula and what we're doing is

11
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:39,329
we're trying to classify them in terms

12
00:00:43,819 --> 00:00:42,090
of their sizes and shapes i guess the

13
00:00:45,290 --> 00:00:43,829
most exciting about planetary nebulas

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:45,300
they come in a wide variety of shapes

15
00:00:48,650 --> 00:00:47,250
and sizes which is really quite puzzling

16
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:48,660
considering that they are all starting

17
00:00:52,819 --> 00:00:50,850
as a spear and it just it's really

18
00:00:54,380 --> 00:00:52,829
intriguing to be able to understand why

19
00:00:55,939 --> 00:00:54,390
this is so and we don't really have a

20
00:00:57,650 --> 00:00:55,949
good confidential that right now and I

21
00:01:00,680 --> 00:00:57,660
guess that's the motivating factor and

22
00:01:01,939 --> 00:01:00,690
doing all this research during my

23
00:01:03,979 --> 00:01:01,949
internship I was able to see other

24
00:01:06,590 --> 00:01:03,989
projects going on at JPL which is really

25
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:06,600
cool to do as I supposed to just working

26
00:01:09,890 --> 00:01:08,310
in my office if it actually visit a lab

27
00:01:12,140 --> 00:01:09,900
which works on artificial muscles right

28
00:01:14,929 --> 00:01:12,150
now and I think their overall goal is to

29
00:01:17,929 --> 00:01:14,939
build a um an artificial muscle that can

30
00:01:19,310 --> 00:01:17,939
beat so I human an arm wrestling but

31
00:01:23,660 --> 00:01:19,320
that was really it was a really cool lab

32
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:23,670
to visit one of my co interns worked on

33
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:25,650
athlete which is one of the coolest

34
00:01:29,090 --> 00:01:27,570
things ever I remember going there one

35
00:01:30,980 --> 00:01:29,100
time and seeing all the robotic stuff

36
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:30,990
and it was really cool it made me want

37
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:33,450
to just like go there and work on it for

38
00:01:40,130 --> 00:01:38,159
a while let me so often maybe like once

39
00:01:43,730 --> 00:01:40,140
a month they took us on field trips so

40
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:43,740
one would be up to the Dryden Center up

41
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:45,450
north and that was really cool too

42
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:47,040
because we got to see all the the

43
00:01:50,569 --> 00:01:48,570
jetsons stuff flying around and all the

44
00:01:52,219 --> 00:01:50,579
research they're doing over there now

45
00:01:53,210 --> 00:01:52,229
that I'm in the massive network I know

46
00:01:54,679 --> 00:01:53,220
there's a lot of opportunities there

47
00:01:57,770 --> 00:01:54,689
that I would have a great chance of

48
00:01:59,870 --> 00:01:57,780
getting into after I graduate with my

49
00:02:02,450 --> 00:01:59,880
PhD hopefully come back to JPL and do

50
00:02:03,649 --> 00:02:02,460
some work on research I've always wanted

51
00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:03,659
to go into space

52
00:02:06,830 --> 00:02:05,249
so hopefully now that I'm in the NASA

53
00:02:08,779 --> 00:02:06,840
network you know someday in the future

54
00:02:12,020 --> 00:02:08,789
when space travel is more accessible I
