projects 215 00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:56,469 these fields participate in projects that are as diverse as the nasa centers 216 00:04:56,469 --> 00:04:56,479 that are as diverse as the nasa centers 217 00:04:56,479 --> 00:04:58,469 that are as diverse as the nasa centers in the shop program i'm learning how to 218 00:04:58,469 --> 00:04:58,479 in the shop program i'm learning how to 219 00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:00,150 in the shop program i'm learning how to run the diagnostic tests on the 220 00:05:00,150 --> 00:05:00,160 run the diagnostic tests on the 221 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,710 run the diagnostic tests on the experimental computer which simulates 222 00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:02,720 experimental computer which simulates 223 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:03,590 experimental computer which simulates what 224 00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:03,600 what 225 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,990 what the space load experiments will be 226 00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:06,000 the space load experiments will be 227 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,670 the space load experiments will be experiencing during the space missions 228 00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:07,680 experiencing during the space missions 229 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,870 experiencing during the space missions open space 230 00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:08,880 open space 231 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,110 open space it's very educational it's an experience 232 00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:11,120 it's very educational it's an experience 233 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,350 it's very educational it's an experience i would have never had and i'm fortunate 234 00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:13,360 i would have never had and i'm fortunate 235 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,469 i would have never had and i'm fortunate to be here 236 00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:14,479 to be here 237 00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:15,990 to be here so far in the shop program i've been 238 00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:16,000 so far in the shop program i've been 239 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,270 so far in the shop program i've been working with 240 00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:17,280 working with 241 00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:19,670 working with test carriage with tet which tests 242 00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:19,680 test carriage with tet which tests 243 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,749 test carriage with tet which tests aircraft tires for jet planes and if 244 00:05:23,749 --> 00:05:23,759 aircraft tires for jet planes and if 245 00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:25,189 aircraft tires for jet planes and if tests to see if 246 00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:25,199 tests to see if 247 00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:28,070 tests to see if when they land how much wear there is 248 00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:28,080 when they land how much wear there is 249 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,189 when they land how much wear there is and we check 250 00:05:29,189 --> 00:05:29,199 and we check 251 00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:31,189 and we check how much wear there is on the tire after 252 00:05:31,189 --> 00:05:31,199 how much wear there is on the tire after 253 00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:33,189 how much wear there is on the tire after every run i learned about a lot of 254 00:05:33,189 --> 00:05:33,199 every run i learned about a lot of 255 00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:35,350 every run i learned about a lot of different areas of engineering that 256 00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:35,360 different areas of engineering that 257 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,710 different areas of engineering that i don't think i ever would have known 258 00:05:36,710 --> 00:05:36,720 i don't think i ever would have known 259 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,270 i don't think i ever would have known about i've been working with the 260 00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:39,280 about i've been working with the 261 00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:40,870 about i've been working with the the computer simulation software 262 00:05:40,870 --> 00:05:40,880 the computer simulation software 263 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,029 the computer simulation software simulation of the f-18 so i spent a lot 264 00:05:43,029 --> 00:05:43,039 simulation of the f-18 so i spent a lot 265 00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:44,950 simulation of the f-18 so i spent a lot of time on there and then different 266 00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:44,960 of time on there and then different 267 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,710 of time on there and then different programs are used to evaluate the data 268 00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:46,720 programs are used to evaluate the data 269 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,710 programs are used to evaluate the data i'm getting out of the simulation 270 00:05:48,710 --> 00:05:48,720 i'm getting out of the simulation 271 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,550 i'm getting out of the simulation there is a lot of learning involved 272 00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:50,560 there is a lot of learning involved 273 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,070 there is a lot of learning involved there's a lot of learning and a lot of 274 00:05:52,070 --> 00:05:52,080 there's a lot of learning and a lot of 275 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,670 there's a lot of learning and a lot of hands-on experience and those are the 276 00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:53,680 hands-on experience and those are the 277 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,230 hands-on experience and those are the two real benefits of the program 278 00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:56,240 two real benefits of the program 279 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,390 two real benefits of the program in my area we're working on the pfma 280 00:05:58,390 --> 00:05:58,400 in my area we're working on the pfma 281 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,390 in my area we're working on the pfma which is the prototype 282 00:06:00,390 --> 00:06:00,400 which is the prototype 283 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,909 which is the prototype flight manipulator 284 00:06:01,909 --> 00:06:01,919 flight manipulator 285 00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:04,629 flight manipulator and i'm tele-operating the 286 00:06:04,629 --> 00:06:04,639 and i'm tele-operating the 287 00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:07,270 and i'm tele-operating the pfma when i first came here on the first 288 00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:07,280 pfma when i first came here on the first 289 00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:08,950 pfma when i first came here on the first day i went to this meeting 290 00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:08,960 day i went to this meeting 291 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,629 day i went to this meeting it was like i was flooded with all this 292 00:06:10,629 --> 00:06:10,639 it was like i was flooded with all this 293 00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:12,629 it was like i was flooded with all this information and i could barely pick out 294 00:06:12,629 --> 00:06:12,639 information and i could barely pick out 295 00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:14,390 information and i could barely pick out anything that they were saying and the 296 00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:14,400 anything that they were saying and the 297 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,309 anything that they were saying and the more that i read the more i understood 298 00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:16,319 more that i read the more i understood 299 00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:17,189 more that i read the more i understood it 300 00:06:17,189 --> 00:06:17,199 it 301 00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:17,990 it and 302 00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:18,000 and 303 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,309 and then when i come down here and actually 304 00:06:20,309 --> 00:06:20,319 then when i come down here and actually 305 00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:23,189 then when i come down here and actually work with the arm then it then it all 306 00:06:23,189 --> 00:06:23,199 work with the arm then it then it all 307 00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:24,870 work with the arm then it then it all starts to fall in place and i actually 308 00:06:24,870 --> 00:06:24,880 starts to fall in place and i actually 309 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,510 starts to fall in place and i actually understand a lot now 310 00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:29,520 311 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,909 the value of the sharp program cannot be 312 00:06:31,909 --> 00:06:31,919 the value of the sharp program cannot be 313 00:06:31,919 --> 00:06:33,430 the value of the sharp program cannot be underestimated 314 00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:33,440 underestimated 315 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,990 underestimated of the more than 1200 apprentices who 316 00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:36,000 of the more than 1200 apprentices who 317 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,350 of the more

developing and building our country that we can confront the year 2000 we can 364 00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:29,840 we can confront the year 2000 we can 365 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,990 we can confront the year 2000 we can confront the future and that may be also 366 00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:32,000 confront the future and that may be also 367 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,790 confront the future and that may be also mean not only on this planet but out in 368 00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:34,800 mean not only on this planet but out in 369 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:35,749 mean not only on this planet but out in
