>> Josh Cassada: Hi.

2
00:00:01,706 --> 00:00:04,366
I'm Josh Cassada, 2013
astronaut candidate.

3
00:00:05,316 --> 00:00:08,366
I'm really excited
about being a part

4
00:00:08,366 --> 00:00:09,786
of something that's
much bigger than me

5
00:00:10,036 --> 00:00:14,906
and working alongside some of
the world's best minds who,

6
00:00:15,226 --> 00:00:18,046
thankfully for us, feel
the same about being a part

7
00:00:18,046 --> 00:00:20,046
of something much
bigger than them.

8
00:00:20,186 --> 00:00:22,756
You know, from my perspective,
exploration is the foundation

9
00:00:22,756 --> 00:00:26,886
of the human spirit, and whether
that exploration is, you know,

10
00:00:26,886 --> 00:00:29,486
at the subatomic level
or on the nano scale

11
00:00:29,486 --> 00:00:31,866
or even the cosmic scale.

12
00:00:33,016 --> 00:00:35,406
You know, I think if
society isn't exploring,

13
00:00:35,406 --> 00:00:38,116
we're really just kind of
sustaining, and to be able

14
00:00:38,506 --> 00:00:42,096
to contribute to that
and that exploration
