Hi, I’m Miguel DeJesus, and I’m from San Juan the Puerto Rico.

2
00:00:16,066 --> 00:00:24,041
I’m the Marshall Space Flight Center Safety Manager at Michoud Assembly Facility, or the MAF as we know it.

3
00:00:24,741 --> 00:00:28,445
We are coordinating all aspects & phases of Industrial

4
00:00:28,512 --> 00:00:30,547
Safety program here at the MAF.

5
00:00:30,547 --> 00:00:45,062
There are many aspects for such an important program as the one we have here, building the next generation of rockets, the Space Launch System , which will pave our way to Mars.

6
00:00:45,062 --> 00:00:47,564
I count with the support of an excellent team,

7
00:00:47,864 --> 00:00:55,338
which is fully committed to the mission, quality, and the utmost safety of our products and more importantly - our people.

8
00:00:55,338 --> 00:01:04,481
Diversity is everything here at MAF .
You do not want to hear the same points of view all the time

9
00:01:04,681 --> 00:01:18,562
We have found that our experiences and backgrounds gives us different perspectives when it comes to solving such high technical problems as the one we face here on a day to day basis

10
00:01:18,562 --> 00:01:33,276
We are in the business of facilitating solutions, creating new ideas, finding new and novel ways of approaching and solving problems.\h

11
00:01:33,276 --> 00:01:41,017
Such is life living in the frontier of knowledge and technology.

12
00:01:42,452 --> 00:01:47,424
I come from a very extensive family
\hFamily means all to me;

13
00:01:48,291 --> 00:02:00,570
It's my reason to get up every morning, and accomplish our mission, knowing that we are leaving a better world for those who follow us.

14
00:02:01,438 --> 00:02:04,307
They might someday, be the ones driving my rocket.

15
00:02:04,307 --> 00:02:16,019
I promise myself every morning that I’ll do everything humanly possible to get back to them safe and sound at the end of each and everyday.\h

16
00:02:16,019 --> 00:02:30,534
My mother instilled in me a passion for excellence, and from my Dad I've learned that nothing is impossible if you are willing to never give up.
