1
00:00:04,870 --> 00:00:01,990
okay my name is raymie in triago and i

2
00:00:06,950 --> 00:00:04,880
currently work for nasa in the fa office

3
00:00:09,030 --> 00:00:06,960
which is the planning office for what

4
00:00:10,310 --> 00:00:09,040
was the constellation program and now

5
00:00:13,350 --> 00:00:10,320
with potentially the crew commercial

6
00:00:15,430 --> 00:00:13,360
from there yeah i started in 88 with usa

7
00:00:16,310 --> 00:00:15,440
or lockheed at the time and

8
00:00:17,990 --> 00:00:16,320
and i started out in the thermal

9
00:00:19,830 --> 00:00:18,000
protection system and i tell you

10
00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:19,840
everything that that has evolved from

11
00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:21,760
then is really about relationships and

12
00:00:24,870 --> 00:00:22,960
just the great

13
00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:24,880
friendships and working in the trenches

14
00:00:29,349 --> 00:00:27,199
with with everybody really kind of just

15
00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:29,359
was the foundation for the rest of my

16
00:00:33,670 --> 00:00:30,720
career

17
00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:33,680
so in the tps world probably

18
00:00:37,110 --> 00:00:35,040
i was tasked to bring back shuttle

19
00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:37,120
columbia from one of its own dp in

20
00:00:39,990 --> 00:00:38,640
california and spent a few weeks out

21
00:00:41,670 --> 00:00:40,000
there and actually flew back on what

22
00:00:42,790 --> 00:00:41,680
they call a pathfinder which went in

23
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:42,800
front of the

24
00:00:46,150 --> 00:00:44,160
shuttle to make sure the weather was

25
00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:46,160
okay and then anywhere we landed we had

26
00:00:51,190 --> 00:00:48,960
inspected tps so that was real special

27
00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:51,200
uh on a tps i was in hydraulics for a

28
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:53,680
few years and that the most memorable

29
00:00:56,549 --> 00:00:54,960
moment there was i was the lead

30
00:00:58,950 --> 00:00:56,559
hydraulics engineer on discovery when we

31
00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:58,960
flew john glenn back into space to meet

32
00:01:01,990 --> 00:01:00,640
him talk about football of course was

33
00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:02,000
real special

34
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:04,559
and then i got in the project world and

35
00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:05,920
great experiences and being part of a

36
00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:07,119
team that implemented a lot of the

37
00:01:10,789 --> 00:01:08,640
return of flight mods like the orbiter

38
00:01:12,469 --> 00:01:10,799
boom system the wing leading edge

39
00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:12,479
and then the last mod that i worked on

40
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:14,159
before i transferred to nasa was the

41
00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:16,320
station the shuttle transfer power

42
00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:18,159
system which is a huge mod that we did

43
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:19,040
on

44
00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:20,400
endeavor and discovery to allow the

45
00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:21,920
orbiters to stay up in space a few more

46
00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:23,040
days so just

47
00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:24,720
just blessing to be able to be part of

48
00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:27,439
such a great team a lot of relationships

49
00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:29,439
all the way from california and station
