00:00:01,526 --> 00:00:03,386
>> Victor Glover: I'm Lieutenant
Commander Victor Glover,

2
00:00:03,386 --> 00:00:06,306
and I'm a 2013 NASA
astronaut candidate.

3
00:00:06,726 --> 00:00:12,746
The thing that really
draws me and excites me

4
00:00:12,746 --> 00:00:15,816
about the future is the
opportunity to be a part

5
00:00:16,526 --> 00:00:21,916
of kindling America's passion
for aerospace and space.

6
00:00:22,246 --> 00:00:24,596
I think there's something
special about flying

7
00:00:24,646 --> 00:00:26,726
and especially flying in space

8
00:00:27,006 --> 00:00:30,526
that it just draws people's
fascination and passions,

9
00:00:30,846 --> 00:00:32,616
and being a part of
that is the thing

10
00:00:32,616 --> 00:00:33,916
that I think excites
me the most.

11
00:00:34,646 --> 00:00:36,786
The first person that
I told was my wife.

12
00:00:36,786 --> 00:00:40,656
As soon as I got off
the phone with Janet

13
00:00:40,656 --> 00:00:44,346
and pinched myself a couple
of times, I called my wife.

14
00:00:44,346 --> 00:00:48,016
We are actually in the
process of negotiating orders.

15
00:00:48,016 --> 00:00:50,436
So I'm in the process of working
with the Navy to determine

16
00:00:50,436 --> 00:00:51,456
where I would go next

17
00:00:51,456 --> 00:00:54,476
if the astronaut
program didn't work out,

18
00:00:54,476 --> 00:00:58,006
and so my wife is very aware,
and she's very keen to find

19
00:00:58,006 --> 00:00:59,466
out where we're going next.

20
00:00:59,466 --> 00:01:02,296
And so I called her, and
I was able to tell her

21
00:01:02,296 --> 00:01:03,446
that now we know
where we're going.
