>> Hi, my name is Selina
Zalasac [phonetic] and I work

3
00:00:07,573 --> 00:00:10,242
for the toxicology and
environmental chemistry labs.

4
00:00:10,242 --> 00:00:12,044
>> My name is Terrance
Bailey [phonetic] and I work

5
00:00:12,044 --> 00:00:14,613
in the ISS procurement office.

6
00:00:14,613 --> 00:00:15,848
>> My name is Jonathan
Mesuris [phonetic] I'm

7
00:00:15,848 --> 00:00:17,149
from the University of Houston.

8
00:00:17,149 --> 00:00:19,218
>> I'm Justin Cartier [phonetic]
I'm from the University

9
00:00:19,218 --> 00:00:21,520
of Massachusetts where I
study mechanical engineering.

10
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,422
>> My name is John
Lulibeld [phonetic] I'm

11
00:00:23,422 --> 00:00:26,225
with EC3 life support
systems branch.

12
00:00:26,225 --> 00:00:27,760
>> My name Natalie
Click [phonetic] I work

13
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,831
in International Space Station
Safety, Avionics and Software.

14
00:00:31,831 --> 00:00:34,333
>> My name is Brandon Murphy
[phonetic] I'm a North Carolina

15
00:00:34,333 --> 00:00:37,403
A and T, senior computer
science major.

16
00:00:37,403 --> 00:00:38,604
>> My name is Tran
Hygnh [phonetic]

17
00:00:38,604 --> 00:00:40,706
and I'm a senior mechanical
engineering student

18
00:00:40,706 --> 00:00:43,242
at California State
University at Long Beach.

19
00:00:43,242 --> 00:00:46,579
This semester I'm currently
working with EC5 space suit

20
00:00:46,579 --> 00:00:47,880
and crew survival systems.

21
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,549
>> In my internship
I've gotten to work

22
00:00:50,549 --> 00:00:52,351
with so many different
scientists

23
00:00:52,351 --> 00:00:55,721
and they really allowed me to
see not only what I'm capable

24
00:00:55,721 --> 00:00:58,357
of doing but all the different
careers that are out there.

25
00:00:58,357 --> 00:01:02,061
So when I came into my
internship I wasn't absolutely

26
00:01:02,061 --> 00:01:05,798
what I wanted to major in and
through my work there I was able

27
00:01:05,798 --> 00:01:08,434
to hone down into
biology and even more

28
00:01:08,434 --> 00:01:11,270
into doing veterinary
sciences after graduation.

29
00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:14,807
I have the responsibility
now to outreach

30
00:01:14,807 --> 00:01:17,743
to other students my age
that you can impact science

31
00:01:17,743 --> 00:01:19,211
and technology right
now through NASA

32
00:01:19,211 --> 00:01:20,880
and that NASA is still here.

33
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,149
>> This opportunity was working

34
00:01:23,149 --> 00:01:26,185
with ER6 has actually
shaped my career,

35
00:01:26,185 --> 00:01:30,689
I feel that after the experience
that I have now with NASA in ER6

36
00:01:30,689 --> 00:01:35,327
that I want to go into a career
with robotics and software.

37
00:01:35,327 --> 00:01:37,863
>> By working in this
internship and being surrounded

38
00:01:37,863 --> 00:01:41,400
by all these smart innovative
people it inspires me

39
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,037
to do the same, to work
hard and be able to come

40
00:01:45,037 --> 00:01:47,606
up with creative
ideas and design

41
00:01:47,606 --> 00:01:51,377
that can push the envelop
of human exploration.

42
00:01:51,377 --> 00:01:53,879
>> Through the training that
I received I'm able to do many

43
00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:57,249
of the different roles
and responsibilities

44
00:01:57,249 --> 00:01:59,185
that scientists would
do during studies

45
00:01:59,185 --> 00:02:00,519
at a fraction of the cost.

46
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:02,788
>> If I hadn't had this
opportunity I would still be

47
00:02:02,788 --> 00:02:04,190
at school, I'd still be studying

48
00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:08,427
but I would be probably turning
away from the space industry,

49
00:02:08,427 --> 00:02:10,329
I was at a very important
part of my life

50
00:02:10,329 --> 00:02:12,464
where I was making decisions
about what I really wanted

51
00:02:12,464 --> 00:02:15,301
to pursue for a career
when I got this internship

52
00:02:15,301 --> 00:02:17,336
and it definitely
helped steer me back

53
00:02:17,336 --> 00:02:19,805
in towards the space
flight industry.

54
00:02:19,805 --> 00:02:25,010
>> This internship has given
me insight to what I would

55
00:02:25,010 --> 00:02:27,179
like to accomplish
in the future.

56
00:02:27,179 --> 00:02:30,649
>> Prior to starting I
didn't know...I thought space

57
00:02:30,649 --> 00:02:33,652
exploration was just all about
astronauts going into space

58
00:02:33,652 --> 00:02:35,020
but when I got here I learned

59
00:02:35,020 --> 00:02:38,390
that it's actually...it
benefits human life

60
00:02:38,390 --> 00:02:41,260
with health care
research, agriculture,

61
00:02:41,260 --> 00:02:43,862
you know things I had
no idea about you know

62
00:02:43,862 --> 00:02:48,300
that exploration really has
a significant impact on.

63
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:51,270
>> My organization
typically has about 12

64
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:55,741
to 15 different projects in
the works at any given time.

65
00:02:55,741 --> 00:02:58,077
We don't have nearly
enough manpower to keep

66
00:02:58,077 --> 00:03:01,313
up with the strain that's
often placed on the group.

67
00:03:01,313 --> 00:03:04,416
So having interns at our
disposal is a huge boon

68
00:03:04,416 --> 00:03:08,120
to actually reaching the mission
accomplishment required of us.

69
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,089
>> Without this internship
I wouldn't have been able

70
00:03:10,089 --> 00:03:13,759
to hear stories from flight
directors and former astronauts

71
00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:15,094
about how their journey

72
00:03:15,094 --> 00:03:17,730
of becoming what they
want to be in life.

73
00:03:17,730 --> 00:03:21,200
It definitely inspires me to do
the same, to strive for my goal

74
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,504
and do what I want to do in life
and be happy with what I do.
