good to be here i'm so excited to watch

00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:40,640
my friends on crew 3 fly to space i'm

67
00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:42,640
one of the turtles uh nasa's newest

68
00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:44,959
class of astronauts from 2017

69
00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:47,040
and looking forward to watching my

70
00:08:51,190 --> 00:08:49,200
classmates raja and kayla as they fly to

71
00:08:53,110 --> 00:08:51,200
space yeah so i wanted to ask you kind

72
00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:53,120
of first about that obviously it's a big

73
00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:54,480
deal i think these are the first of your

74
00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:57,120
classmates to get to fly uh what's that

75
00:09:00,470 --> 00:08:58,560
like to see

76
00:09:02,070 --> 00:09:00,480
two people who you started with who

77
00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:02,080
you've trained with and now you're gonna

78
00:09:06,310 --> 00:09:04,560
see them literally like fly into space

79
00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:06,320
yeah it's uh it's a great question i

80
00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:08,320
think every step of this journey has

81
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:11,360
been a bit surreal um so i didn't even

82
00:09:14,389 --> 00:09:13,040
expect to get an interview

83
00:09:16,070 --> 00:09:14,399
and then i got an interview and then

84
00:09:17,509 --> 00:09:16,080
somehow i got a final round interview

85
00:09:20,070 --> 00:09:17,519
which seemed quite surreal and then

86
00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:20,080
somehow i got lucky enough to join the

87
00:09:23,190 --> 00:09:21,360
astronaut corps

88
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:23,200
and every step of the way it kind of

89
00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:24,480
doesn't quite feel real until you're

90
00:09:27,430 --> 00:09:26,080
really there and this is just one more

91
00:09:29,590 --> 00:09:27,440
step where wow

92
00:09:30,949 --> 00:09:29,600
my classmates are about to fly to space

93
00:09:33,110 --> 00:09:30,959
that's pretty cool

94
00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:33,120
hey josh just let me jump in so i was on

95
00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:35,440
the interview selection panel to pick

96
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:37,200
these guys and uh

97
00:09:43,430 --> 00:09:38,880
woody

98
00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:43,440
it all of them are awesome

99
00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:45,360
thank you sir well since we're jumping

100
00:09:49,750 --> 00:09:47,760
in here now i agree all of them are

101
00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:49,760
awesome but i gotta give a shout out to

102
00:09:54,150 --> 00:09:51,839
kayla baron class of 2010 from the

103
00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:54,160
united states naval academy

104
00:09:57,590 --> 00:09:55,920
probably the only school that has the

105
00:09:59,190 --> 00:09:57,600
most astronauts of any other

106
00:10:00,870 --> 00:09:59,200
undergraduate institution so i'll just

107
00:10:02,069 --> 00:10:00,880
throw that out there

108
00:10:03,430 --> 00:10:02,079
are you beating purdue because i thought

109
00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:03,440
it was purdue

110
00:10:07,829 --> 00:10:05,360
no actually

111
00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:07,839
undergrad naval academy all right very

112
00:10:11,590 --> 00:10:09,920
good i'm assuming that you say that from

113
00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:11,600
personal experience

114
00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:12,640
well

115
00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:14,800
yes being a grad i will throw that out

116
00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:16,320
there yeah and for those that don't know

117
00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:18,240
bob is a four-time space shuttle

118
00:10:23,430 --> 00:10:20,880
astronaut uh i'll uh question for you

119
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:23,440
bob uh what's it like to not be the guy

120
00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:24,800
on the rocket because i'm still

121
00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:25,680
expecting at some point you're gonna

122
00:10:29,269 --> 00:10:27,760
pull like a john glenn and and still hop

123
00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:29,279
on another one and get into space again

124
00:10:33,509 --> 00:10:31,360
so john glenn is definitely my hero he

125
00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:33,519
was 77 when he flew his last flight so i

126
00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:35,360
got a few good years left

127
00:10:40,389 --> 00:10:37,200
i'm looking forward to hopefully having

128
00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:40,399
that happen now um and the hardest job i

129
00:10:43,269 --> 00:10:41,200
had

130
00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:43,279
when i was chief of the astronaut office

131
00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:44,160
was

132
00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:46,480
assigning other people uh to flying

133
00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:48,079
space and going out to the launch pad

134
00:10:52,150 --> 00:10:50,320
with them when you have uh some of your

135
00:10:54,150 --> 00:10:52,160
closest friends on that rocket on that

136
00:10:56,069 --> 00:10:54,160
ball of flame going off into space i

137
00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:56,079
mean my heart's going like this it's

138
00:11:00,230 --> 00:10:57,760
just it's an emotional event it's so

139
00:11:01,750 --> 00:11:00,240
much easier to fly than watch your

140
00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:01,760
friends do it but

141
00:11:06,310 --> 00:11:03,600
you know it's it's just it truly is an

142
00:11:08,470 --> 00:11:06,320
amazing event so if i had a choice you

143
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:08,480
know i would uh i would love to be on

144
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:10,320
that rocket but

145
00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:12,240
my hearts and prayers are with these

146
00:11:16,150 --> 00:11:14,800
guys going up here early sunday morning

147
00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:16,160
and i know they're all going to do an

148
00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:18,560
awesome job yeah three rookies on this

149
00:11:21,590 --> 00:11:20,720
flight so uh certainly nobody's

150
00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:21,600
questioning that they're up to the

151
00:11:25,750 --> 00:11:23,680
challenge up to the task but kind of an

152
00:11:28,069 --> 00:11:25,760
exciting thing that is indicative of

153
00:11:29,509 --> 00:11:28,079
where we are with human space flight and

154
00:11:30,470 --> 00:11:29,519
this new evolution of commercial crew

155
00:11:31,829 --> 00:11:30,480
vehicles

156
00:11:33,590 --> 00:11:31,839
well you know and i want to point that

157
00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:33,600
out a commercial crew program is

158
00:11:37,590 --> 00:11:35,120
absolutely amazing there are four

159
00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:37,600
astronauts on this crew going up we've

160
00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:39,040
increased the number of astronauts that

161
00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:41,360
we have on the space station now for

162
00:11:45,509 --> 00:11:43,519
these increments now that we have uh

163
00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:45,519
commercial crew flying and that

164
00:11:48,870 --> 00:11:47,040
increases the amount of science that we

165
00:11:50,790 --> 00:11:48,880
can do that increases the amount of

166
00:11:52,389 --> 00:11:50,800
engineering we can do to prove the

167
00:11:54,310 --> 00:11:52,399
systems that we need to be able to go to

168
00:11:56,389 --> 00:11:54,320
the moon in a sustainable way to go onto

169
00:11:58,230 --> 00:11:56,399
mars eventually so

170
00:12:00,230 --> 00:11:58,240
this is really important that we have

171
00:12:01,509 --> 00:12:00,240
this successful commercial crew program

172
00:12:04,230 --> 00:12:01,519
and what we really want to do is

173
00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:04,240
commercialize low earth orbit and become

174
00:12:07,910 --> 00:12:06,320
one of many customers rather than being

175
00:12:09,990 --> 00:12:07,920
responsible for the whole thing so that

176
00:12:12,310 --> 00:12:10,000
we can focus on that hard job of

177
00:12:14,710 --> 00:12:12,320
establishing a presence in our solar

178
00:12:17,030 --> 00:12:14,720
system off our home planet

179
00:12:18,710 --> 00:12:17,040
awesome yeah well well said well said uh

180
00:12:19,910 --> 00:12:18,720
go to go into questions we've gotten

181
00:12:21,509 --> 00:12:19,920
here so please feel free to send your

182
00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:21,519
questions in if you're watching online

183
00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:23,839
um and this one for all three of you

184
00:12:28,150 --> 00:12:25,760
kelvin we'll start with you uh what's

185
00:12:30,230 --> 00:12:28,160
your favorite launch experience so

186
00:12:32,150 --> 00:12:30,240
whether it be on a rocket or watching a

187
00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:32,160
rocket or an otherwise vehicle take off

188
00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:33,920
into space kelvin what's your favorite

189
00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:35,760
launch experience well josh i have to

190
00:12:38,790 --> 00:12:37,440
think back to the shuttle days when i

191
00:12:41,110 --> 00:12:38,800
was a flow director for the space

192
00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:41,120
shuttle atlantis my very first launch as

193
00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:43,440
flow director i was the right-hand man

194
00:12:48,230 --> 00:12:46,240
next to the launch director and

195
00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:48,240
following that flow to completion and

196
00:12:51,590 --> 00:12:49,600
watching it launch and then when the

197
00:12:52,790 --> 00:12:51,600
crew returned it doesn't get any better

198
00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:52,800
than that

199
00:12:56,629 --> 00:12:54,880
yeah so so start to finish you were

200
00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:56,639
there front seat the whole time

201
00:12:59,829 --> 00:12:58,240
absolutely that's awesome all right

202
00:13:01,110 --> 00:12:59,839
woody how about for you obviously i know

203
00:13:03,030 --> 00:13:01,120
you're probably thinking ahead when you

204
00:13:04,389 --> 00:13:03,040
get to fly uh but so far what's your

205
00:13:06,949 --> 00:13:04,399
favorite launch experience i've actually

206
00:13:09,430 --> 00:13:06,959
seen exactly one launch in person so far

207
00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:09,440
which was the launch uh the the crew 2

208
00:13:12,870 --> 00:13:11,200
mission so the mission before this i was

209
00:13:14,389 --> 00:13:12,880
lucky enough to be out here at kennedy

210
00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:14,399
and and watch it in person like this

211
00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:16,880
launch will be it was a night

212
00:13:21,829 --> 00:13:19,279
launch and it was spectacular we were

213
00:13:24,389 --> 00:13:21,839
able to witness staging we were able to

214
00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:24,399
witness the second stage ignition

215
00:13:28,629 --> 00:13:26,720
um on just a beautiful night and it

216
00:13:30,069 --> 00:13:28,639
truly took my breath away awesome so

217
00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:30,079
woody where are you from

218
00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:30,959
obviously if you haven't been around

219
00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:32,480
rocket launches you're not from around

220
00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:33,600
here

221
00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:34,399
yeah i grew up in pittsburgh

222
00:13:38,389 --> 00:13:37,040
pennsylvania and then i ended up

223
00:13:40,550 --> 00:13:38,399
spending some time in california

224
00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:40,560
washington and boston cool yeah i know

225
00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:41,360
here at kennedy there's a lot of

226
00:13:45,030 --> 00:13:43,040
pittsburgh fans there's a shocking

227
00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:45,040
number of pittsburgh fans around here so

228
00:13:47,509 --> 00:13:46,320
welcome to kennedy space center glad to

229
00:13:48,710 --> 00:13:47,519
have you back for your second rocket

230
00:13:52,389 --> 00:13:48,720
launch

231
00:13:57,110 --> 00:13:54,629
i have so many uh

232
00:13:59,430 --> 00:13:57,120
you know i was privileged as a uh as a

233
00:14:02,069 --> 00:13:59,440
midshipman at the naval academy to come

234
00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:02,079
down here on a physics honor society

235
00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:03,440
took a field trip down i got to see

236
00:14:07,750 --> 00:14:05,120
apollo 13 launch

237
00:14:09,829 --> 00:14:07,760
and to see a saturn v take off that that

238
00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:09,839
was special

239
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:12,000
the first shuttle launch that i saw was

240
00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:14,240
actually my first launch

241
00:14:19,829 --> 00:14:17,040
and that was pretty darned amazing uh i

242
00:14:22,069 --> 00:14:19,839
think the shuttle you know the

243
00:14:24,550 --> 00:14:22,079
the falcon 9 it it lifts off very

244
00:14:26,949 --> 00:14:24,560
majestically the shuttle just got up and

245
00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:26,959
left town with those solids and i tell

246
00:14:32,069 --> 00:14:28,720
you what i'm really looking forward to

247
00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:32,079
is the launch of uh sls and orion on

248
00:14:36,150 --> 00:14:33,839
artemis one seeing that big rocket

249
00:14:37,750 --> 00:14:36,160
stacked up over in the vab and when

250
00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:37,760
those five segments solid slight and

251
00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:40,639
those four rs-25s light off that thing

252
00:14:45,110 --> 00:14:42,880
is just going to be absolutely amazing

253
00:14:46,949 --> 00:14:45,120
that's going to be a real event yeah i'm

254
00:14:48,230 --> 00:14:46,959
a little bit nervous uh rocket launches

255
00:14:50,710 --> 00:14:48,240
if you if you've been around they're

256
00:14:52,949 --> 00:14:50,720
loud you can feel them in your chest and

257
00:14:54,949 --> 00:14:52,959
this is the sls will be

258
00:14:56,470 --> 00:14:54,959
on another level um so i'm excited to

259
00:14:58,710 --> 00:14:56,480
get that get that rumble of the solids

260
00:15:00,790 --> 00:14:58,720
back in back at the kennedy space center

261
00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:00,800
maurice wants to know where are the

262
00:15:06,629 --> 00:15:02,480
astronauts right now and what are they

263
00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:08,389
sure um i don't know exactly where they

264
00:15:11,590 --> 00:15:09,440
are but they're here at kennedy and

265
00:15:13,269 --> 00:15:11,600
quarantine and likely spending some time

266
00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:13,279
with their loved ones with their

267
00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:17,040
immediate families and just enjoying a a

268
00:15:20,949 --> 00:15:19,279
little bit of maybe

269
00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:20,959
peaceful downtime if you can call it

270
00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:23,120
that before such a big event where they

271
00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:23,920
can

272
00:15:27,829 --> 00:15:25,199
just enjoy being with their loved ones

273
00:15:29,509 --> 00:15:27,839
and and get ready for lunch

274
00:15:32,069 --> 00:15:29,519
so i will throw out that the crew

275
00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:32,079
quarters are over in the uh

276
00:15:36,470 --> 00:15:34,240
neil armstrong operations and checkout

277
00:15:39,189 --> 00:15:36,480
building on the third floor overlooking

278
00:15:41,269 --> 00:15:39,199
the high bay where they build the

279
00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:41,279
orion vehicle that used to be the

280
00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:44,000
processing for the apollo and uh

281
00:15:46,949 --> 00:15:45,360
originally that's where crew quarters

282
00:15:49,269 --> 00:15:46,959
were for the apollo program and those

283
00:15:51,269 --> 00:15:49,279
rooms since have been modified over the

284
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:51,279
years and we added more to accommodate

285
00:15:54,629 --> 00:15:52,560
all the crews going up to the space

286
00:15:57,030 --> 00:15:54,639
station and so on so the crew is in

287
00:15:59,350 --> 00:15:57,040
isolation over there and then there is a

288
00:16:00,710 --> 00:15:59,360
tradition there is one house remaining

289
00:16:01,509 --> 00:16:00,720
out on the beach

290
00:16:03,590 --> 00:16:01,519
and

291
00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:03,600
from when the government took over on

292
00:16:06,790 --> 00:16:05,600
eminent domain to build the kennedy

293
00:16:08,949 --> 00:16:06,800
space center

294
00:16:10,310 --> 00:16:08,959
and uh that became

295
00:16:11,590 --> 00:16:10,320
a place of

296
00:16:13,990 --> 00:16:11,600
refuge from

297
00:16:15,269 --> 00:16:14,000
life here at uh you know preparing for

298
00:16:17,189 --> 00:16:15,279
launch and everything for astronauts

299
00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:17,199
just to get away it's the beach house

300
00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:19,279
and walk the beach with their loved ones

301
00:16:22,550 --> 00:16:21,120
and just have some time to themselves so

302
00:16:23,590 --> 00:16:22,560
i'm sure they're going to take advantage

303
00:16:24,550 --> 00:16:23,600
of that

304
00:16:26,470 --> 00:16:24,560
awesome

305
00:16:28,870 --> 00:16:26,480
bob i'll stick with you and ask uh my

306
00:16:30,470 --> 00:16:28,880
nine-year-old uh son excuse me question

307
00:16:32,069 --> 00:16:30,480
from christina uh she said my

308
00:16:34,230 --> 00:16:32,079
nine-year-old son wants to know what it

309
00:16:35,829 --> 00:16:34,240
feels like to be in space

310
00:16:37,430 --> 00:16:35,839
oh it's awesome i wish i could get your

311
00:16:40,389 --> 00:16:37,440
nine-year-old son up there with me or

312
00:16:43,509 --> 00:16:40,399
any any young child and weightlessness

313
00:16:45,670 --> 00:16:43,519
is just it is so amazing it's just

314
00:16:47,990 --> 00:16:45,680
effortless and you adapt so readily it's

315
00:16:49,749 --> 00:16:48,000
amazing how quickly the human body uh

316
00:16:52,230 --> 00:16:49,759
adapts to microgravity and then

317
00:16:53,990 --> 00:16:52,240
re-adapts to 1g and the amazing thing is

318
00:16:56,389 --> 00:16:54,000
the more times you fly the quicker you

319
00:16:58,790 --> 00:16:56,399
have that adaptation both to zero g and

320
00:17:01,189 --> 00:16:58,800
back to uh to 1g

321
00:17:02,870 --> 00:17:01,199
but it's just it's effortless it is so

322
00:17:04,789 --> 00:17:02,880
fun but the best thing about being in

323
00:17:05,990 --> 00:17:04,799
space is sticking your nose up to a

324
00:17:07,590 --> 00:17:06,000
window and looking down on the earth

325
00:17:10,069 --> 00:17:07,600
from a couple hundred miles high it is

326
00:17:12,630 --> 00:17:10,079
just an absolutely beautiful blue jewel

327
00:17:15,829 --> 00:17:12,640
of a planet yep kelvin question for you

328
00:17:17,029 --> 00:17:15,839
uh why is launch at 2 21 am we'd all

329
00:17:18,789 --> 00:17:17,039
love to get a little bit more sleep so

330
00:17:21,669 --> 00:17:18,799
what's going on there and is it safer to

331
00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:21,679
launch during the day

332
00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:23,839
well the launch is the launch window is

333
00:17:26,870 --> 00:17:25,120
determined by

334
00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:26,880
what the mission is in this case it's a

335
00:17:30,470 --> 00:17:28,640
rendezvous with the international space

336
00:17:31,830 --> 00:17:30,480
station so orbital mechanics i could

337
00:17:34,230 --> 00:17:31,840
tell you a little bit about that from my

338
00:17:36,470 --> 00:17:34,240
air force days but uh to make that all

339
00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:36,480
happen at this particular time that's

340
00:17:40,549 --> 00:17:38,880
what's driving that nighttime launch is

341
00:17:43,190 --> 00:17:40,559
it safer to launch

342
00:17:44,870 --> 00:17:43,200
at daytime versus night time

343
00:17:47,510 --> 00:17:44,880
in the event you did have some type of a

344
00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:47,520
contingency the rescue effort would be

345
00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:50,320
much easier during the daytime so so yes

346
00:17:54,710 --> 00:17:51,520
but

347
00:17:57,029 --> 00:17:54,720
we're practice train rehearse so uh we

348
00:17:59,350 --> 00:17:57,039
can cover that contingency at night time

349
00:18:01,510 --> 00:17:59,360
as well yeah very good

350
00:18:03,270 --> 00:18:01,520
a couple questions for you woody uh

351
00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:03,280
first one what inspired you to be an

352
00:18:06,310 --> 00:18:04,640
astronaut

353
00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:06,320
and it sounded like you got the

354
00:18:09,669 --> 00:18:07,280
interview

355
00:18:11,110 --> 00:18:09,679
on your first try is that true yeah i

356
00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:11,120
was lucky enough to get the interview my

357
00:18:14,870 --> 00:18:13,120
first try it's kind of funny i remember

358
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:14,880
as a young child having dreams and

359
00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:16,960
aspirations of becoming an astronaut

360
00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:18,640
and then i remember

361
00:18:24,070 --> 00:18:21,360
kind of as i finished up graduate school

362
00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:24,080
i got so involved and just deeply

363
00:18:27,750 --> 00:18:25,440
committed to all the things i was

364
00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:27,760
working on that frankly i kind of forgot

365
00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:30,080
about that aspiration for a little bit

366
00:18:35,510 --> 00:18:33,280
and then a friend of mine uh we were we

367
00:18:36,870 --> 00:18:35,520
were working out and he was the one that

368
00:18:38,390 --> 00:18:36,880
told me hey there's a call out for

369
00:18:39,590 --> 00:18:38,400
astronauts

370
00:18:41,590 --> 00:18:39,600
to apply

371
00:18:43,430 --> 00:18:41,600
we should apply and i said yeah that is

a thing i always wanted to do let's

373
00:18:48,070 --> 00:18:45,919

it just felt like this impossible

378
00:19:00,710 --> 00:18:58,160
dream and so um i feel so lucky to have

379
00:19:02,310 --> 00:19:00,720

a second something that inspired you

385
00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:11,600
like that made you have that desire or

386
00:19:14,630 --> 00:19:13,280
was that just like you were young and

387
00:19:16,710 --> 00:19:14,640
that's what you remember

388
00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:16,720
growing up i always loved things that

389
00:19:20,630 --> 00:19:19,760
fly um i built model rockets as a young

390
00:19:23,669 --> 00:19:20,640
child

391
00:19:25,270 --> 00:19:23,679
i loved airplanes i always wanted to fly

392
00:19:28,230 --> 00:19:25,280
airplanes

393
00:19:30,549 --> 00:19:28,240
and so i just always loved aerospace i

394
00:19:32,789 --> 00:19:30,559
became an aerospace engineer in college

395
00:19:34,870 --> 00:19:32,799
and i don't know it just always seemed

396
00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:34,880
like something that's so natural and

397
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:36,480
easy to be excited about i don't

398
00:19:39,990 --> 00:19:37,520
understand how you could not love

399
00:19:43,830 --> 00:19:41,830
kelvin but josh let me tell you about

400
00:19:45,590 --> 00:19:43,840
woody here i remember from the interview

401
00:19:47,510 --> 00:19:45,600
so it wasn't just like little model

402
00:19:49,110 --> 00:19:47,520
rockets you were building big model

403
00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:49,120
rockets in fact where people were

404
00:19:52,549 --> 00:19:50,480
getting suspicious because of the

405
00:19:56,150 --> 00:19:52,559
propellants required to build these big

406
00:19:57,990 --> 00:19:56,160
rockets and it's like man what a guy

407
00:20:00,390 --> 00:19:58,000
that's true right that is true i was

408
00:20:02,310 --> 00:20:00,400
actually building these before i was 18.

409
00:20:05,430 --> 00:20:02,320
and they were so large at the time you

410
00:20:06,950 --> 00:20:05,440
needed from the the atf the

411
00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:06,960
bureau of alcohol tobacco and firearms

412
00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:08,960
you needed a low explosives permit in

413
00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:11,200
order to have the propellants

414
00:20:13,990 --> 00:20:12,240
that we were using in these rockets and

415
00:20:15,990 --> 00:20:14,000
i wasn't 18 so i couldn't get the permit

416
00:20:18,549 --> 00:20:16,000
so my father

417
00:20:21,110 --> 00:20:18,559
was kind enough to help me out get a

418
00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:21,120
permit for us and and we were able to uh

419
00:20:24,710 --> 00:20:23,200
pursue this amazing hobby so for anyone

420
00:20:26,630 --> 00:20:24,720
interested in rocketry the tripoli

421
00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:26,640
rocketry association is an amazing

422
00:20:31,350 --> 00:20:29,280
organization uh where you can go out and

423
00:20:33,029 --> 00:20:31,360
build large rockets and it's an amazing

424
00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:33,039
community to be a part of

425
00:20:37,029 --> 00:20:34,720
so moral the story there is follow

426
00:20:38,710 --> 00:20:37,039
regulations obey the law get frontal

427
00:20:40,870 --> 00:20:38,720
supervision but have lots of fun and

428
00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:40,880
build big rockets uh awesome other

429
00:20:44,630 --> 00:20:42,480
question for you woody um

430
00:20:47,110 --> 00:20:44,640
congratulations first up uh what did you

431
00:20:49,430 --> 00:20:47,120
get to learn from the crew 3 astronauts

432
00:20:50,789 --> 00:20:49,440
and would you like to be on board a

433
00:20:52,870 --> 00:20:50,799
future mission to the international

434
00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:52,880
space station and what would you do when

435
00:20:56,789 --> 00:20:54,480
you get up there

436
00:20:58,630 --> 00:20:56,799
i've learned so much from the crew 3

437
00:21:01,029 --> 00:20:58,640
astronauts you look at this crew it

438
00:21:02,950 --> 00:21:01,039
includes three rookies

439
00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:02,960
i think that's really special what uh

440
00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:05,120
what better way is there to train for

441
00:21:08,310 --> 00:21:06,880
the missions we are going to do in the

442
00:21:09,669 --> 00:21:08,320
future like going to the moon through

443
00:21:12,149 --> 00:21:09,679
artemis what better way is there to

444
00:21:14,230 --> 00:21:12,159
train for that than to go fly in space

445
00:21:16,470 --> 00:21:14,240
and spend six months living and working

446
00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:16,480
on the international space station

447
00:21:21,350 --> 00:21:19,120
um dance yeah i've i've learned i've

448
00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:21,360
lost track of the countless

449
00:21:26,149 --> 00:21:23,520
uh leadership lessons i've learned from

450
00:21:28,149 --> 00:21:26,159
my classmates raja and kayla who will be

451
00:21:30,310 --> 00:21:28,159
on this mission

452
00:21:32,149 --> 00:21:30,320
and yes do i want to go yeah i'd love to

453
00:21:34,390 --> 00:21:32,159
go so someday i'm definitely looking

454
00:21:35,909 --> 00:21:34,400
forward to it um and i'm looking forward

455
00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:35,919
to just the

456
00:21:39,669 --> 00:21:38,240
dynamic varied activities that we have

457
00:21:42,310 --> 00:21:39,679
to do on board whether it's doing

458
00:21:44,149 --> 00:21:42,320
science or maintenance or

459
00:21:46,710 --> 00:21:44,159
like kayla and tom will do in a few

460
00:21:49,909 --> 00:21:46,720
weeks going outside on an eva to replace

461
00:21:51,190 --> 00:21:49,919
a failed communication unit um just that

462
00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:51,200
kind of

463
00:21:56,070 --> 00:21:54,240
dynamic every day getting it done uh

464
00:21:57,909 --> 00:21:56,080
attitude that has to happen up there i'm

465
00:21:59,110 --> 00:21:57,919
really excited for that awesome all

466
00:22:01,270 --> 00:21:59,120
right question for each of you we'll

467
00:22:03,350 --> 00:22:01,280
start here with you bob uh

468
00:22:04,950 --> 00:22:03,360
where will you be on launch day and more

469
00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:04,960
importantly will you be wearing a

470
00:22:09,909 --> 00:22:07,440
halloween costume

471
00:22:12,630 --> 00:22:09,919
so i'm going to be over in

472
00:22:15,830 --> 00:22:12,640
osb 2 with the administrator for the

473
00:22:19,350 --> 00:22:15,840
launch i'd rather be sitting on console

474
00:22:20,420 --> 00:22:19,360
and um i'll be honest i was going to and

475
00:22:21,669 --> 00:22:20,430
i didn't

476
00:22:23,430 --> 00:22:21,679
[Music]

477
00:22:25,430 --> 00:22:23,440
didn't get one but i had this awesome

478
00:22:27,110 --> 00:22:25,440
alien costume that i think would have

479
00:22:28,870 --> 00:22:27,120
been just perfect but

480
00:22:31,590 --> 00:22:28,880
no i'm not going to be wearing a costume

481
00:22:33,430 --> 00:22:31,600
all right maybe next time then kelvin

482
00:22:35,270 --> 00:22:33,440
so i'll be across the street in the

483
00:22:38,230 --> 00:22:35,280
launch control center

484
00:22:40,390 --> 00:22:38,240
uh firing room four with the spacex and

485
00:22:42,310 --> 00:22:40,400
nasa launch team i i won't have a

486
00:22:45,029 --> 00:22:42,320
costume on i'll have a headset on but

487
00:22:46,549 --> 00:22:45,039
maybe uh some halloween colors orange

488
00:22:48,149 --> 00:22:46,559
tie something like that all right that

489
00:22:49,669 --> 00:22:48,159
sounds like a good plan i like it i like

490
00:22:51,669 --> 00:22:49,679
it tom

491
00:22:53,990 --> 00:22:51,679
excuse me woody forgive me

492
00:22:57,190 --> 00:22:54,000
he's not here you're woody tom will be

493
00:22:59,350 --> 00:22:57,200
on the rocket and i will be uh in osb2

494
00:23:01,029 --> 00:22:59,360
as well um and i suspect i'll probably

495
00:23:04,630 --> 00:23:01,039
be dressed quite a bit like i am right

496
00:23:05,909 --> 00:23:04,640
now okay yeah tom will maybe be dressed

497
00:23:08,710 --> 00:23:05,919
for halloween but his will look more

498
00:23:11,190 --> 00:23:08,720
like a spacex flight suit uh so anyway

499
00:23:14,630 --> 00:23:11,200
sorry woody about that um

500
00:23:16,070 --> 00:23:14,640
uh any tips for a future astronaut so

501
00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:16,080
and i'll be curious from any three of

502
00:23:19,590 --> 00:23:18,240
you because kelvin uh as

503
00:23:21,830 --> 00:23:19,600
i believe you've sat on a number of

504
00:23:23,350 --> 00:23:21,840
panels now to select astronauts and so

505
00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:23,360
you may be able to provide us more

506
00:23:26,950 --> 00:23:24,880
wisdom and insight than anybody because

507
00:23:29,110 --> 00:23:26,960
you've seen behind the scenes

508
00:23:32,390 --> 00:23:29,120
so i've been on the last three

509
00:23:33,270 --> 00:23:32,400
and what we're looking for we're looking

510
00:23:35,669 --> 00:23:33,280
for

511
00:23:36,950 --> 00:23:35,679
people that follow their passion you

512
00:23:39,270 --> 00:23:36,960
know of course you got to have the

513
00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:39,280
smarts you got to have the

514
00:23:43,510 --> 00:23:41,200
uh education

515
00:23:45,029 --> 00:23:43,520
but the thing that a lot of people

516
00:23:46,310 --> 00:23:45,039
don't really think about they don't

517
00:23:47,269 --> 00:23:46,320
think about

518
00:23:49,029 --> 00:23:47,279
um

519
00:23:50,710 --> 00:23:49,039
you know doing things that they love

520
00:23:53,990 --> 00:23:50,720
hands-on

521
00:23:55,830 --> 00:23:54,000
just being that all-around um good

522
00:23:58,149 --> 00:23:55,840
person and that's what i was really

523
00:23:59,590 --> 00:23:58,159
getting to the ability to get along with

524
00:24:00,870 --> 00:23:59,600
others a lot of times you don't think

525
00:24:02,950 --> 00:24:00,880
about that you got you could be the

526
00:24:05,110 --> 00:24:02,960
smartest person in the world but if

527
00:24:07,269 --> 00:24:05,120
nobody wants you on their team then

528
00:24:08,149 --> 00:24:07,279
you're not going to make a a great ass

529
00:24:08,950 --> 00:24:08,159
or not

530
00:24:10,870 --> 00:24:08,960
yeah

531
00:24:13,909 --> 00:24:10,880
bob or woody any other thoughts there

532
00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:13,919
anybody you lucky lucky socks uh well

533
00:24:17,830 --> 00:24:15,360
good luck charms anything that kind of

534
00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:17,840
gave you the edge

535
00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:19,919
i'll follow on uh

536
00:24:23,669 --> 00:24:21,600
i for me

537
00:24:25,110 --> 00:24:23,679
i was pursuing a graduate degree in

538
00:24:27,510 --> 00:24:25,120
computer science

539
00:24:28,390 --> 00:24:27,520
and my passion was search and rescue at

540
00:24:30,630 --> 00:24:28,400
the time

541
00:24:33,029 --> 00:24:30,640
and i wanted to be off uh doing search

542
00:24:34,630 --> 00:24:33,039
and rescue missions and so i worked for

543
00:24:37,669 --> 00:24:34,640
yosemite search and rescue and i bring

544
00:24:40,230 --> 00:24:37,679
it up because at the time many of my

545
00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:40,240
most trusted mentors in academia advised

546
00:24:44,230 --> 00:24:42,240
me not to do it because they told me

547
00:24:46,070 --> 00:24:44,240
that it was going to distract me from

548
00:24:48,390 --> 00:24:46,080
the important career in academia that i

549
00:24:49,590 --> 00:24:48,400
was pursuing but i just really wanted to

550
00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:49,600
do it

551
00:24:54,390 --> 00:24:51,200
and i am so

552
00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:54,400
glad that i did and so grateful um to be

553
00:24:59,190 --> 00:24:57,120
here now in an organization where for

554
00:25:01,909 --> 00:24:59,200
the first time actually in my entire

555
00:25:03,909 --> 00:25:01,919
career these sort of two sides of me a

556
00:25:06,149 --> 00:25:03,919
very technical side and a very

557
00:25:07,430 --> 00:25:06,159
operational side have been truly valued

558
00:25:09,350 --> 00:25:07,440
both sides

559
00:25:11,909 --> 00:25:09,360
that's so special and it's such a big

560
00:25:14,070 --> 00:25:11,919
part of what makes human space flight

561
00:25:15,990 --> 00:25:14,080
possible whether it's as an astronaut or

562
00:25:17,430 --> 00:25:16,000
a flight controller or

563
00:25:20,390 --> 00:25:17,440
any of the countless people that

564
00:25:21,830 --> 00:25:20,400
contribute to our mission here

565
00:25:23,430 --> 00:25:21,840
so i'm going to pile onto what kelvin

566
00:25:25,029 --> 00:25:23,440
said you know we look for people that

567
00:25:26,870 --> 00:25:25,039
excel in their field having sat on a

568
00:25:28,950 --> 00:25:26,880
number of boards

569
00:25:30,549 --> 00:25:28,960
but you have to be a team player and

570
00:25:33,350 --> 00:25:30,559
that is absolutely we look for those

571
00:25:34,710 --> 00:25:33,360
skills we look for uh folks that not

572
00:25:37,190 --> 00:25:34,720
only do well in their field but they

573
00:25:38,950 --> 00:25:37,200
also have an operational background that

574
00:25:40,710 --> 00:25:38,960
you know they've got some hands-on work

575
00:25:43,110 --> 00:25:40,720
that they can apply uh one of my

576
00:25:44,549 --> 00:25:43,120
favorite stories is uh don pettit you

577
00:25:45,990 --> 00:25:44,559
ask how do you be an astronaut first off

578
00:25:47,990 --> 00:25:46,000
i say you got to be persistent don't

579
00:25:49,510 --> 00:25:48,000
give up you know i didn't get anything

580
00:25:51,269 --> 00:25:49,520
that i wanted to necessarily on the

581
00:25:53,590 --> 00:25:51,279
first try but i was persistent and kept

582
00:25:55,590 --> 00:25:53,600
trying don got picked on his fifth try

583
00:25:57,510 --> 00:25:55,600
but when don was i think he was like 9

584
00:25:59,269 --> 00:25:57,520
10 years old his brother went to the

585
00:26:01,029 --> 00:25:59,279
junkyard and brought home an automatic

586
00:26:02,950 --> 00:26:01,039
uh transmission for him to take apart

587
00:26:05,909 --> 00:26:02,960
and figure out how it worked but you

588
00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:05,919
know having uh hands-on skills along

589
00:26:08,470 --> 00:26:06,720
with

590
00:26:10,710 --> 00:26:08,480
your learning and being an expert in

591
00:26:12,149 --> 00:26:10,720
your field and a team player it's a lot

592
00:26:15,029 --> 00:26:12,159
to ask but that that's what we're

593
00:26:16,230 --> 00:26:15,039
looking for and having done things in an

594
00:26:18,470 --> 00:26:16,240
environment where

595
00:26:20,149 --> 00:26:18,480
you know when you do something when you

596
00:26:22,230 --> 00:26:20,159
make a bad decision bad things can

597
00:26:24,630 --> 00:26:22,240
happen you know you

598
00:26:27,029 --> 00:26:24,640
climb mountains deep sea diving flying

599
00:26:29,029 --> 00:26:27,039
airplanes whatever so having that

600
00:26:30,390 --> 00:26:29,039
background helps also i'm so glad i got

601
00:26:32,230 --> 00:26:30,400
picked when i did i i wouldn't have been

602
00:26:33,350 --> 00:26:32,240
competitive in woody's class i don't

603
00:26:42,390 --> 00:26:33,360
think

604
00:26:44,789 --> 00:26:42,400
000. it was definitely a big pile yeah

605
00:26:46,710 --> 00:26:44,799
and that's why i say i i truly didn't

606
00:26:49,350 --> 00:26:46,720
think i would even get an interview yeah

607
00:26:50,789 --> 00:26:49,360
awesome um so we got a question here

608
00:26:52,630 --> 00:26:50,799
thank you for answering our questions

609
00:26:54,149 --> 00:26:52,640
i'm a senior in high school

610
00:26:56,470 --> 00:26:54,159
and was wondering if there's a specific

611
00:26:58,470 --> 00:26:56,480
area of study i should focus on if i

612
00:26:59,510 --> 00:26:58,480
want to become an astronaut one day so

613
00:27:01,190 --> 00:26:59,520
we obviously have some military

614
00:27:03,510 --> 00:27:01,200
background we've got computer science

615
00:27:04,710 --> 00:27:03,520
but what else do we have so first off to

616
00:27:07,190 --> 00:27:04,720
be an astronaut you have to have a

617
00:27:09,510 --> 00:27:07,200
technical degree math engineering or one

618
00:27:12,390 --> 00:27:09,520
of the physical sciences but i would

619
00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:12,400
tell you exactly what woody and what

620
00:27:15,510 --> 00:27:14,320
kelvin said you got to follow your

621
00:27:16,549 --> 00:27:15,520
passion

622
00:27:18,230 --> 00:27:16,559
if you're doing something you're

623
00:27:19,990 --> 00:27:18,240
passionate about two things happen first

624
00:27:21,430 --> 00:27:20,000
off studying is easy you study because

625
00:27:23,110 --> 00:27:21,440
you want to study get good grades

626
00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:23,120
because you're passionate about it and

627
00:27:26,950 --> 00:27:24,960
then when you do get a job works not

628
00:27:28,710 --> 00:27:26,960
work my passion was flying i wanted to

629
00:27:30,710 --> 00:27:28,720
fly airplanes and

630
00:27:32,230 --> 00:27:30,720
that i pursued that goal and then i

631
00:27:33,990 --> 00:27:32,240
wanted to be a test pilot and use all

632
00:27:35,190 --> 00:27:34,000
the math and engineering i had in school

633
00:27:37,029 --> 00:27:35,200
along with flying and that's what

634
00:27:38,230 --> 00:27:37,039
prepared me to be an astronaut it wasn't

635
00:27:39,830 --> 00:27:38,240
you know i never dreamed i could be an

636
00:27:41,190 --> 00:27:39,840
astronaut i held astronauts in such high

637
00:27:42,950 --> 00:27:41,200
esteem but it was a progression from

638
00:27:44,710 --> 00:27:42,960
being a pilot to a test pilot that

639
00:27:46,070 --> 00:27:44,720
enabled me to be an astronaut i kind of

640
00:27:49,029 --> 00:27:46,080
had that in the back of my mind when i

641
00:27:50,470 --> 00:27:49,039
saw apollo 13 launch but you know

642
00:27:51,830 --> 00:27:50,480
making it happen that's another thing so

643
00:27:53,269 --> 00:27:51,840
i tell folks

644
00:27:55,269 --> 00:27:53,279
that far-out goal is kind of hard to

645
00:27:57,269 --> 00:27:55,279
reach but there are intermediate goals

646
00:27:58,310 --> 00:27:57,279
that you can work toward work toward

647
00:27:59,830 --> 00:27:58,320
those intermediate goals when you

648
00:28:01,669 --> 00:27:59,840
achieve it then set a new one that gets

649
00:28:03,669 --> 00:28:01,679
you on that path you want to be on but

650
00:28:04,870 --> 00:28:03,679
follow your passion like woody said man

651
00:28:06,310 --> 00:28:04,880
if you're doing something you're

652
00:28:07,909 --> 00:28:06,320
passionate about it makes life a whole

653
00:28:10,070 --> 00:28:07,919
lot more fun and it's a lot easier to

654
00:28:11,590 --> 00:28:10,080
study and do well at it

655
00:28:12,630 --> 00:28:11,600
uh woody question for you actually

656
00:28:15,350 --> 00:28:12,640
question for all three of you really

657
00:28:17,110 --> 00:28:15,360
quickly uh is there a song that comes to

658
00:28:19,029 --> 00:28:17,120
mind when you think about a ride-out

659
00:28:20,630 --> 00:28:19,039
playlist uh so our astronauts put

660
00:28:22,630 --> 00:28:20,640
together a ride-out playlist they get to

661
00:28:24,630 --> 00:28:22,640
listen to on their way to the launch pad

662
00:28:25,590 --> 00:28:24,640
is there one song that off the top of

663
00:28:28,149 --> 00:28:25,600
your head that you would say i want to

664
00:28:31,750 --> 00:28:28,159
listen to that on the way

665
00:28:33,510 --> 00:28:31,760
it's such a good question

666
00:28:36,549 --> 00:28:33,520
there are so many there's so many

667
00:28:37,750 --> 00:28:36,559
options uh man i um

668
00:28:40,149 --> 00:28:37,760
i remember

669
00:28:42,630 --> 00:28:40,159
some climbing trips listening to darude

670
00:28:44,470 --> 00:28:42,640
have you heard of this band

671
00:28:46,070 --> 00:28:44,480
great band um

672
00:28:47,350 --> 00:28:46,080
i think that could be some fun play ride

673
00:28:49,669 --> 00:28:47,360
on music but i need to think more about

674
00:28:51,750 --> 00:28:49,679
it what's the genre uh it's basically

675
00:28:53,110 --> 00:28:51,760
edm okay all right there you go listen

676
00:28:54,070 --> 00:28:53,120
i'll get you amped up for launch yeah

677
00:28:56,630 --> 00:28:54,080
there you go

678
00:28:58,950 --> 00:28:56,640
kelvin uh for me it would be theme from

679
00:29:00,470 --> 00:28:58,960
the avengers you know with iron man

680
00:29:01,909 --> 00:29:00,480
captain america

681
00:29:04,070 --> 00:29:01,919
all those guys

682
00:29:07,029 --> 00:29:04,080
how can you not get pumped up listening

683
00:29:09,269 --> 00:29:07,039
to that love it

684
00:29:11,830 --> 00:29:09,279
so i can't pick a song but it would

685
00:29:13,350 --> 00:29:11,840
definitely be something classic rock i i

686
00:29:15,909 --> 00:29:13,360
think something that really gets you

687
00:29:17,830 --> 00:29:15,919
going very good all right gentlemen uh

688
00:29:19,669 --> 00:29:17,840
we're about out of time um really

689
00:29:21,029 --> 00:29:19,679
quickly we have just a minute left uh

690
00:29:21,990 --> 00:29:21,039
