00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:03,590
u.s navy commander reed wiseman grew up

2
00:00:07,909 --> 00:00:06,160
in the suburbs of baltimore maryland far

3
00:00:10,629 --> 00:00:07,919
enough away from the city to be able to

4
00:00:12,150 --> 00:00:10,639
enjoy nature learn about the world and

5
00:00:14,629 --> 00:00:12,160
make the most of the freedom and

6
00:00:16,870 --> 00:00:14,639
encouragement he got from his parents

7
00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:16,880
and they always had boundaries but

8
00:00:20,070 --> 00:00:18,720
it was exploration from the time i was

9
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:20,080
born you know going to the lake with my

10
00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:21,119
brother

11
00:00:25,269 --> 00:00:22,880
learning on my own and figuring things

12
00:00:27,509 --> 00:00:25,279
out and and they gave me that that

13
00:00:29,429 --> 00:00:27,519
freedom and it was wonderful

14
00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:29,439
wiseman earned a bachelor's of science

15
00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:31,920
in computer and systems engineering and

16
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:33,360
a commission in the navy through the

17
00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:36,960
rotc at rensselaer polytechnic institute

18
00:00:41,030 --> 00:00:38,800
after flight training he was assigned to

19
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:41,040
an f-14 squadron and made two

20
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:42,719
deployments to the middle east during

21
00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:44,800
operations southern watch enduring

22
00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:47,280
freedom and iraqi freedom during the

23
00:00:51,430 --> 00:00:48,960
second deployment he was picked for the

24
00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:51,440
navy's test pilot school and later while

25
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:53,280
working at the patuxent river naval air

26
00:00:57,189 --> 00:00:55,520
station he also earned a master's degree

27
00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:57,199
in systems engineering from johns

28
00:01:01,349 --> 00:00:59,359
hopkins weisman made two more

29
00:01:04,229 --> 00:01:01,359
international deployments before he was

30
00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:04,239
picked for the astronaut program in 2009

31
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:05,840
and got the chance to resume the

32
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:08,799
exploration he loved as a child

33
00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:11,040
we are curious we are inquisitive we are

34
00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:13,600
explorers by our very nature and right

35
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:16,240
now the biggest exploration that a human

36
00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:19,600
can go on is 250 miles up on the space

37
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:21,680
station so to me there's not even a

38
00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:24,000
question of course it's worth the risk

39
00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:26,560
just to go out there and push humanity

40
00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:27,439
to
