00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,120
I grew up around this area and I go outside\h
and look up in the sky and you just see stars\h\h

2
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:12,400
everywhere, and all of a sudden you just\h
see a bright light illuminate the whole\h\h

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,320
sky and it was like, it was amazing. So\h
never would I imagine myself being here,\h\h

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,920
but I'm so glad I got the opportunity. It's a cool\h
job whenever you know, I talk to friends, they'll\h\h

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,760
tell me about their day and then I'll tell them,\h
“yeah, well I did this,” and they're like, “what?”

6
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:34,400
I guess no day is like the next. Every\h
day you come out you do something new.\h\h

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,600
You might be putting paper together one day,\h
you might be stacking a rocket the next day.\h\h

8
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:44,880
I'm responsible for all installation of solid\h
explosives for the SLS rocket, excluding\h\h

9
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:51,760
propellant from the boosters and liquid propellant\h
from core stage. I like working with explosives\h\h

10
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,840
so just getting to be part of the\h
operations to install it with the team,\h\h

11
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,360
is exciting. This is our first time seeing\h
hardware in years, since the shuttle program,\h\h

12
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,920
so when we're out here we take it very\h
seriously. Safety is very important to\h\h

13
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,760
us. Our hardware is very important to us. We take\h
many precautions to make sure the hardware's safe,\h\h

14
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,600
to make sure we're safe. Booster stacking\h
is just the first milestone of many\h\h
