1 00:00:08,150 --> 00:00:06,070 when i got accepted into this summer 2 00:00:10,390 --> 00:00:08,160 program i wasn't sure what was going to 3 00:00:13,270 --> 00:00:10,400 happen but i was pretty sure it wasn't 4 00:00:15,110 --> 00:00:13,280 me bored i was super excited to go i 5 00:00:16,790 --> 00:00:15,120 mean when i was little i dreamed of 6 00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:16,800 visiting johnson space center i heard 7 00:00:21,189 --> 00:00:18,960 all about how people had so much fun 8 00:00:23,269 --> 00:00:21,199 there and on their vacations but 9 00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:23,279 i'd never gotten the chance to go and i 10 00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:26,320 mean here i was nasa was paying me for 11 00:00:32,229 --> 00:00:30,080 to come and visit and work and learn i 12 00:00:35,830 --> 00:00:32,239 felt ecstatic when i was accepted to 13 00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:35,840 haas i was excited to go to nasa as an 14 00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:37,920 organization that has made so much 15 00:00:45,029 --> 00:00:40,160 history and will never be forgotten as 16 00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:47,750 we started hossoff this year with a 17 00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:50,640 project to make a tool that would work 18 00:00:53,430 --> 00:00:52,480 for any situation 19 00:00:55,910 --> 00:00:53,440 our 20 00:00:58,229 --> 00:00:55,920 team decided unanimously on the 21 00:01:00,709 --> 00:00:58,239 peripheral object orienter basically 22 00:01:03,910 --> 00:01:00,719 what it did was that it was a elongated 23 00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:03,920 wrench for getting into smaller spaces 24 00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:05,840 that way if you 25 00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:08,159 were working on the iss let's say and 26 00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:10,960 you need to get to a screw that was on 27 00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:12,400 that was loose 28 00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:13,760 but you couldn't reach your hand in 29 00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:15,280 there you could use a peripheral object 30 00:01:20,550 --> 00:01:17,439 oriented to slide it in to the smaller 31 00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:20,560 space and it will have different shapes 32 00:01:27,190 --> 00:01:22,560 for different possible sizes of the 33 00:01:32,469 --> 00:01:29,429 on monday we met john greener a 34 00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:32,479 planetary scientist who works at nasa he 35 00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:34,560 talked to us about the future of space 36 00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:35,439 travel 37 00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:37,280 i think the thing that stuck most in our 38 00:01:40,630 --> 00:01:38,880 minds during the week was the important 39 00:01:42,789 --> 00:01:40,640 law of rocket science 40 00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:42,799 mass equals money 41 00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:44,560 the more things you put on your rocket 42 00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:46,240 the more expensive it is to complete 43 00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:52,789 mr gruener talked about beyond low earth 44 00:01:56,149 --> 00:01:54,479 orbit or leo which helped us understand 45 00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:56,159 the requirements for our missions to be 46 00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:58,399 successful mr gruner also helped us 47 00:02:01,670 --> 00:02:00,240 decide the parameters of our project as 48 00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:01,680 a group making it easier to work 49 00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:07,510 on monday we had cody kelly come and 50 00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:10,000 speak to us about spacesuits everyone 51 00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:11,840 always admires spacesuits for their 52 00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:14,000 appearances but never for the amount of 53 00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:16,160 time and effort put into them 54 00:02:20,309 --> 00:02:18,400 it takes a year just to design them and 55 00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:20,319 that's not even including the process of 56 00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:23,440 making them mr kelly's presentation 57 00:02:28,869 --> 00:02:25,520 really opened up my eyes to the effort 58 00:02:30,869 --> 00:02:28,879 put into keeping these astronauts alive 59 00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:30,879 as well as the effort required in 60 00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:32,560 designing the suits it was really 61 00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:33,760 interesting to see the amount of 62 00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:35,280 technology that was crammed into the 63 00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:36,959 suits as well as the considerations for 64 00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:38,560 the environment that i want men to work 65 00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:42,480 on i mean we're designing them in 66 00:02:45,910 --> 00:02:44,319 on earth but they're meant to work in 67 00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:45,920 hard vacuum and 68 00:02:50,309 --> 00:02:48,160 microgravity that's not something that 69 00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:50,319 we can replicate here on earth very 70 00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:52,640 easily and so just seeing the ways 71 00:03:02,070 --> 00:02:53,920 different ways they have to design them 72 00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:03,430 so when we were first given the 73 00:03:06,869 --> 00:03:04,959 engineering challenge everyone had their 74 00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:06,879 own idea on what they wanted the robot 75 00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:09,440 to look like and different manipulators 76 00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:11,200 and a whole bunch of different ideas 77 00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:13,519 that in and of themselves alone they 78 00:03:18,229 --> 00:03:16,080 were good they were okay but only by 79 00:03:19,509 --> 00:03:18,239 collaborating and conjoining these ideas 80 00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:19,519 into 81 00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:21,120 this one robot that we all worked 82 00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:22,560 together on could we create something 83 00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:24,799 that was great be it the caster wheel 84 00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:26,959 that one of us decided to tack on on the 85 00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:29,440 end or the upward facing supersonic 86 00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:31,120 sensor that one of us 87 00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:33,599 suggested to give ourselves some control 88 00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:35,440 over the robot 89 00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:37,519 these combining these ideas allowed us 90 00:03:42,630 --> 00:03:39,040 to create something that none of us 91 00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:45,270 haas has had a profound impact on all of 92 00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:48,239 us and our lives will never be the same 93 00:03:52,789 --> 00:03:50,400 we have a great appreciation for the 94 00:03:54,789 --> 00:03:52,799 work it took to get to the moon and we 95 00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:54,799 already appreciate the effort of the 96 00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:56,640 teams that it will take to send people 97 00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:58,640 to mars 98 00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:00,480 i feel i gained a lot of experience and 99 00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:02,400 insight into team projects and the work 100 00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:04,000 required to collaborate and complete 101 00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:04,799 them 102 00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:07,680 i'm really proud of what house 2014 has 103 00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:09,599 accomplished and i would participate 104 00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:11,840 again in a heartbeat i'm 105 00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:13,840 incredibly grateful to the people who
