1
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:07,700
hi I'm Mike Massimino

2
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:09,210
we've been following along with the

3
00:00:12,709 --> 00:00:11,130
astronauts who are going to fly the next

4
00:00:15,169 --> 00:00:12,719
shuttle mission to the International

5
00:00:17,090 --> 00:00:15,179
Space Station what you are about to see

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:17,100
is the crew practicing for their mission

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:18,810
the team that is responsible for

8
00:00:22,970 --> 00:00:21,330
training them and get a sense of what

9
00:00:27,460 --> 00:00:22,980
it's like to fly the shuttle

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:27,470
this is sts-131 behind the scenes

11
00:00:38,209 --> 00:00:29,130
Scottie what are you doing my

12
00:00:39,530 --> 00:00:38,219
interrupting you for real is this a joke

13
00:01:02,420 --> 00:00:39,540
not a joke

14
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:04,220
the eye and it turns the iconic yellow

15
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:07,650
and then you use a blue light you

16
00:01:11,540 --> 00:01:09,450
actually gonna do this not gonna do it

17
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:11,550
today but you you have okay all right

18
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:19,200
we'll get into that in a minute okay all

19
00:01:25,370 --> 00:01:23,460
right so right there cuz stuff floats

20
00:01:26,450 --> 00:01:25,380
around you got to watch out and stuff

21
00:01:28,820 --> 00:01:26,460
floats around you can get some in your

22
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:28,830
eye you can inhale stuff to crumbs and

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:30,330
everything and this how's your eye

24
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:33,210
oh it hurts it's really not supposed to

25
00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:35,250
rub it I don't know I understand it's

26
00:01:41,420 --> 00:01:36,479
not looking good for him to make the

27
00:01:42,590 --> 00:01:41,430
landing I'll see you okay so we got red

28
00:01:44,540 --> 00:01:42,600
and sweating from being nervous about

29
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:44,550
the landings firstly so your folks don't

30
00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:45,930
get worried if they're watching this

31
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:47,550
there's really nothing wrong with your

32
00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:49,530
eyes no we're just kind of pretending

33
00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:51,600
we're simulating this this allows the

34
00:01:55,370 --> 00:01:53,369
ground right through the procedures that

35
00:01:56,750 --> 00:01:55,380
they would use if something were to hard

36
00:01:58,790 --> 00:01:56,760
so we're pretending okay so one thing

37
00:02:00,650 --> 00:01:58,800
that has happened as Jim said if you

38
00:02:02,030 --> 00:02:00,660
can't see you got to be able to see

39
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:02,040
what's going on to land the space show

40
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:04,410
well one good eye you got one good eye

41
00:02:08,210 --> 00:02:06,210
yeah with that you know you do the

42
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:08,220
pirate thing you believe that all right

43
00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:11,910
so the pirates pirates were on boats

44
00:02:16,580 --> 00:02:14,400
towed X they didn't fly airplanes but

45
00:02:19,490 --> 00:02:16,590
Jim I think you might be well it's his

46
00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:19,500
call okay tell us well it's actually not

47
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:21,209
it belongs it you know go back to call

48
00:02:28,620 --> 00:02:25,410
Mexico guys in the Michigan team

49
00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:28,630
two weeks all right Julie CEO all right

50
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:29,680
and you already talked to the space

51
00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:30,970
station and some saw that since we have

52
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:32,710
plenty of time they're looking over if

53
00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:34,450
you do landing he's a highly qualified

54
00:02:39,390 --> 00:02:36,400
he's just a qualified line of impact so

55
00:02:41,070 --> 00:02:39,400
we had Atlantic here in in good hands

56
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:41,080
since you have to teach you guys lessons

57
00:02:43,890 --> 00:02:42,670
and keep you telling you to do your

58
00:02:46,530 --> 00:02:43,900
homework you didn't study enough for the

59
00:02:48,510 --> 00:02:46,540
simulation I mean I so happen you know

60
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:48,520
Jim you don't know that you know the

61
00:02:55,949 --> 00:02:49,930
electrical system as well as you should

62
00:02:57,870 --> 00:02:55,959
you haven't been study know there are

63
00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:57,880
good students today would be good

64
00:03:02,130 --> 00:02:59,200
students yeah but I think they would be

65
00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:02,140
also kind of prone to shenanigans no no

66
00:03:12,180 --> 00:03:09,280
two of them write the smart guys yeah

67
00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:12,190
okay every once in a while you know mrs.

68
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:14,560
done your son's a very nice boy but you

69
00:03:20,340 --> 00:03:16,239
know maybe that would happen once in a

70
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:20,350
while yes something like that but you

71
00:03:29,250 --> 00:03:27,970
had him check that kind of thing no come

72
00:03:31,170 --> 00:03:29,260
on you're a model you it must have been

73
00:03:34,979 --> 00:03:31,180
a perfect yeah yeah yeah right would you

74
00:03:44,250 --> 00:03:34,989
do to your poor mom if you had five boys

75
00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:44,260
a little girl probably sweet one little

76
00:03:50,699 --> 00:03:49,030
girl as much work as probably but my mom

77
00:03:53,820 --> 00:03:50,709
had five boys I was a second of five

78
00:03:55,979 --> 00:03:53,830
yeah I think I think they didn't she had

79
00:03:57,810 --> 00:03:55,989
enough work with me for at least ten I'm

80
00:03:59,350 --> 00:03:57,820
not doing this by I was terrible but

81
00:04:01,030 --> 00:03:59,360
she's not three FD a-- though

82
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:01,040
so you know my throat I was the youngest

83
00:04:06,610 --> 00:04:03,050
no my mother said if I was first I would

84
00:04:08,890 --> 00:04:06,620
have been last yeah my mom felt when I

85
00:04:23,020 --> 00:04:08,900
was a third that was it I was looking I

86
00:04:26,470 --> 00:04:23,030
was a third one oh yeah everything's

87
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:26,480
fine in there 480 seconds for the RPM

88
00:04:34,660 --> 00:04:30,800
every two seconds to do that so we'll

89
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:34,670
use 240 is number 50 yeah perfect you

90
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:36,080
say a lot of numbers growing it that is

91
00:04:42,130 --> 00:04:39,110
it is like Jethro Bodine naught x naught

92
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:42,140
is not your relative if you have

93
00:04:45,460 --> 00:04:43,910
calculated for that stuff now records

94
00:04:48,340 --> 00:04:45,470
you know what I already do that next

95
00:04:50,020 --> 00:04:48,350
cheapest you can X or 1x plane

96
00:04:57,180 --> 00:04:50,030
controllers this is interesting you are

97
00:05:00,670 --> 00:04:59,320
what was your flight and so are you

98
00:05:04,510 --> 00:05:00,680
Margit clay weren't you a flight

99
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:04,520
controller to all right another wise in

100
00:05:08,170 --> 00:05:05,570
other words you were but you don't want

101
00:05:11,739 --> 00:05:08,180
to take any responsibility okay what

102
00:05:15,850 --> 00:05:13,959
dance means dangerous officer we're

103
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:15,860
basically responsible for monitoring the

104
00:05:20,919 --> 00:05:18,769
at Michelle's onboard guidance systems

105
00:05:23,589 --> 00:05:20,929
navigation systems responsible for the

106
00:05:26,610 --> 00:05:23,599
procedures of court procedures manual

107
00:05:28,110 --> 00:05:26,620
procedures and burns on the parents

108
00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:28,120
now that I give you enough time to

109
00:05:32,220 --> 00:05:29,740
answer that question I didn't answer

110
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:32,230
before I asked I want to make sure you

111
00:05:37,260 --> 00:05:34,930
give you enough time to talk you guys

112
00:05:38,670 --> 00:05:37,270
leave him enough time cuz what the heck

113
00:05:39,210 --> 00:05:38,680
is going on here you guys are busy today

114
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:39,220
aren't you

115
00:05:43,590 --> 00:05:41,130
we are yes they're doing an inspection

116
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:43,600
inspection the inspection that happens

117
00:05:48,030 --> 00:05:46,210
after we undock so it's uh you know we

118
00:05:49,950 --> 00:05:48,040
inspected it before we were on the food

119
00:05:52,110 --> 00:05:49,960
and then we did this rendezvous pitch

120
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:52,120
maneuver okay and this is their last

121
00:05:56,250 --> 00:05:54,130
chance to look at the vehicles heat

122
00:05:58,170 --> 00:05:56,260
shield before we come on the land and we

123
00:06:01,230 --> 00:05:58,180
want to make sure that we check it one

124
00:06:10,260 --> 00:06:01,240
more time to make sure that no orbital

125
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:10,270
debris yes right so Jim body and the

126
00:06:15,450 --> 00:06:12,730
Elco and Stephanie have been hard-headed

127
00:06:17,850 --> 00:06:15,460
ever since we undocked oh my god doing

128
00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:17,860
this inspection piston discovery for the

129
00:06:25,980 --> 00:06:20,080
bottom of 7-30 main and the port survey

130
00:06:27,810 --> 00:06:25,990
or the recording happy all right so

131
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:27,820
what's going on in here am i distracting

132
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:30,130
you yes but I won't be here on the

133
00:06:35,750 --> 00:06:31,450
mission you're not worried about that is

134
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:38,430
we're doing is you're inspecting aren't

135
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:39,910
you Jim inspecting you're inspecting

136
00:06:44,250 --> 00:06:42,850
like a queen vector all right so you got

137
00:06:45,630 --> 00:06:44,260
like out here out the windows it's just

138
00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:45,640
a simulation this is because you'll be

139
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:47,680
floating right now you know you'd be

140
00:06:58,189 --> 00:06:56,519
okay

141
00:07:00,320 --> 00:06:58,199
I receive her

142
00:07:02,420 --> 00:07:00,330
so the arms moving now so you're looking

143
00:07:05,089 --> 00:07:02,430
at like a little video monitor of that

144
00:07:07,999 --> 00:07:05,099
long straight thing is the robot arm and

145
00:07:09,469 --> 00:07:08,009
then the bottom screen right there yeah

146
00:07:11,119 --> 00:07:09,479
that's a robot arm and then a bottom

147
00:07:12,679 --> 00:07:11,129
screen is showing what the sensor is

148
00:07:13,939 --> 00:07:12,689
seeing right that's right and then out

149
00:07:15,559 --> 00:07:13,949
here if we look at this is a pretend

150
00:07:17,239 --> 00:07:15,569
this is only a graphical image but you

151
00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:17,249
know you can see like to pretend Space

152
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:19,680
Shuttle thing out here all right what's

153
00:07:22,610 --> 00:07:21,090
that you play a little bit us empl I'm

154
00:07:24,860 --> 00:07:22,620
coming home though it's a big closet

155
00:07:26,989 --> 00:07:24,870
okay and you're gonna be it so this is

156
00:07:29,119 --> 00:07:26,999
what's happen is can I distract you some

157
00:07:31,070 --> 00:07:29,129
more sure play tell what is going on

158
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:31,080
here what is happening right now what do

159
00:07:33,829 --> 00:07:32,370
you guys don't we just end doc this

160
00:07:35,300 --> 00:07:33,839
morning so you're on the space station

161
00:07:39,189 --> 00:07:35,310
you've course you weren't there really

162
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:39,199
there but you Yun dr. then what happened

163
00:07:43,219 --> 00:07:41,370
you got to do that that's when you fly

164
00:07:45,140 --> 00:07:43,229
to space shift did you like climbing

165
00:07:48,050 --> 00:07:45,150
they do a good job you like flying a

166
00:07:48,589 --> 00:07:48,060
spaceship did you feel kaftan he kept me

167
00:07:51,559 --> 00:07:48,599
out of trouble

168
00:07:52,550 --> 00:07:51,569
yeah there is a cool do you feel early

169
00:07:54,649 --> 00:07:52,560
call your client you're flying a

170
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:54,659
spaceship you know that's like not too

171
00:07:57,589 --> 00:07:55,710
many people get to do that

172
00:07:59,629 --> 00:07:57,599
that's pretty cool all right Steph he's

173
00:08:00,890 --> 00:07:59,639
back there are trying to keep track of

174
00:08:02,059 --> 00:08:00,900
everything Stephanie's I can add some

175
00:08:05,089 --> 00:08:02,069
more computers making eye contact

176
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:05,099
computers yes yeah Stephanie look at the

177
00:08:19,089 --> 00:08:09,930
camera it's a situation where we mean

178
00:08:22,700 --> 00:08:21,800
right you've got a well and daddys

179
00:08:24,439 --> 00:08:22,710
working us as well

180
00:08:25,909 --> 00:08:24,449
yeah have four people working this oh

181
00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:25,919
it's good you take turns and everything

182
00:08:28,989 --> 00:08:27,449
yeah yeah cuz yeah you can go a little

183
00:08:36,879 --> 00:08:28,999
nutty doing this too long for too long

184
00:08:44,199 --> 00:08:38,899
that'll be anything you put to put your

185
00:08:48,980 --> 00:08:47,060
any prep in the cabin still yeah make

186
00:08:52,610 --> 00:08:48,990
sure you got everything fit away yeah

187
00:08:54,499 --> 00:08:52,620
cleanup discovery okay I see it tip-top

188
00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:54,509
shape just like that okay see folks gave

189
00:08:59,420 --> 00:08:57,120
it to us right you're gonna really clean

190
00:09:00,199 --> 00:08:59,430
it up that much it was my my observation

191
00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:00,209
is you know they give it to you very

192
00:09:06,259 --> 00:09:01,769
pristine and then returns it to a frat

193
00:09:07,850 --> 00:09:06,269
house it's like Oh mom and dad let us

194
00:09:09,379 --> 00:09:07,860
have that you know so you gotta try to

195
00:09:10,910 --> 00:09:09,389
fake it you gotta clean up before your

196
00:09:12,290 --> 00:09:10,920
pan before you give the car back to your

197
00:09:14,990 --> 00:09:12,300
parents Jimmy this is what's kind of

198
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:15,000
going on well you'll find out I'm

199
00:09:18,379 --> 00:09:16,440
telling you and you get up there what

200
00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:18,389
the heck well it's a come with this food

201
00:09:22,220 --> 00:09:20,160
over here so seven this is your third

202
00:09:23,379 --> 00:09:22,230
flight and I would think by this time in

203
00:09:25,180 --> 00:09:23,389
a mission you would have already

204
00:09:27,620 --> 00:09:25,190
concurred

205
00:09:29,870 --> 00:09:27,630
Jim and a Yoko on their first flight to

206
00:09:33,199 --> 00:09:29,880
look out the window and enjoy the view

207
00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:33,209
and everything deep yeah did you do more

208
00:09:37,249 --> 00:09:34,800
of that on your other flights your you

209
00:09:39,050 --> 00:09:37,259
know your kind of fun stuff looking at

210
00:09:40,850 --> 00:09:39,060
the window and enjoying the environment

211
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:40,860
was that more when you were docked or is

212
00:09:44,569 --> 00:09:42,930
that afterwards we did not have any time

213
00:09:50,139 --> 00:09:44,579
at all to do that because you're always

214
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:50,149
busy yeah

215
00:10:00,410 --> 00:09:55,850
yeah this is what you want to do okay

216
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:00,420
yeah that's that's what I was getting to

217
00:10:03,470 --> 00:10:02,130
is don't yeah these are the days you

218
00:10:04,939 --> 00:10:03,480
know you're doing your inspector once

219
00:10:06,410 --> 00:10:04,949
you get that out of the way stick your

220
00:10:07,939 --> 00:10:06,420
head in those windows really looked up

221
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:07,949
Stephanie where'd you look I looked up

222
00:10:13,069 --> 00:10:12,569
front mainly not the f10 overhead a lot

223
00:10:15,079 --> 00:10:13,079
really

224
00:10:20,389 --> 00:10:15,089
I like sticking my head underneath like

225
00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:20,399
in there in the forward windows and

226
00:10:23,900 --> 00:10:21,839
looking at getting jammed up in there

227
00:10:31,790 --> 00:10:23,910
and listening to your music and make

228
00:10:38,199 --> 00:10:31,800
sure you get a chance to do that but

229
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:40,370
turnabout on your time off or your

230
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:42,360
relaxing time when you time off your

231
00:10:47,629 --> 00:10:46,110
relaxing days make sure that's good yeah

232
00:10:51,970 --> 00:10:47,639
make sure make sure you think cuz this

233
00:10:54,350 --> 00:10:51,980
is incredible all right all right well

234
00:10:55,490 --> 00:10:54,360
I'll let you guys get back to work do

235
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:55,500
you mind taking the rest of your day

236
00:10:59,689 --> 00:10:57,569
I'll take the camera I will I will but

237
00:11:01,309 --> 00:10:59,699
I'm probably probably screwed up let's

238
00:11:02,540 --> 00:11:01,319
see what point are we up to here we're

239
00:11:09,070 --> 00:11:02,550
just getting to point one know this is

240
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:10,630
it was a what do you want to be when you

241
00:11:15,850 --> 00:11:14,930
grow up okay captain bottom out of a

242
00:11:17,949 --> 00:11:15,860
ketchup bottle

243
00:11:23,170 --> 00:11:17,959
you still have it can you bring it in

244
00:11:37,630 --> 00:11:23,180
maybe sometime okay we can refer to it

245
00:11:40,030 --> 00:11:37,640
okay obviously back when I was in space

246
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:40,040
I think the 80s I mean obviously shuttle

247
00:11:46,509 --> 00:11:44,450
was just starting to launch and we now

248
00:11:47,949 --> 00:11:46,519
have women in space I was you know I was

249
00:11:51,639 --> 00:11:47,959
like second third grade so I was really

250
00:11:53,470 --> 00:11:51,649
excited about that and Halley's Comet so

251
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:53,480
we went to my parents and we're in

252
00:11:57,579 --> 00:11:55,250
Colorado we have great skies I caught up

253
00:11:59,680 --> 00:11:57,589
and so my parents would go out to try to

254
00:12:07,530 --> 00:11:59,690
look for Haley's comment and not really

255
00:12:13,210 --> 00:12:10,420
and and then one Christmas Santa Claus

256
00:12:15,069 --> 00:12:13,220
brought me a telescope really how old we

257
00:12:17,769 --> 00:12:15,079
have been do you remember I was I was

258
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:17,779
sixth grade so Wow yeah I thought that

259
00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:19,970
was the best until later I discovered

260
00:12:25,569 --> 00:12:23,839
that that telescope is a refractor which

261
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:25,579
is okay but you're not great and now I

262
00:12:29,139 --> 00:12:27,170
have a reflecting telescope and we're

263
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:29,149
waving ended quickly what can you

264
00:12:35,380 --> 00:12:33,170
explain a difference factor uses lenses

265
00:12:39,530 --> 00:12:35,390
and mine are probably plastic lenses of

266
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:39,540
a trip and you rely on optics and

267
00:12:43,970 --> 00:12:41,310
and basically we're at uh scope what you

268
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:43,980
want is a big bucket to gather light and

269
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:47,850
so with the refractor mine was small so

270
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:49,170
I'm they're gathering that much life

271
00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:52,649
right now I have a reflector with an 8

272
00:12:56,210 --> 00:12:54,720
inch mirror so I have a much bigger

273
00:13:00,530 --> 00:12:56,220
bucket to gather light

274
00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:00,540
plus when you use the optics of glass

275
00:13:04,460 --> 00:13:02,880
lenses you get some bending of light and

276
00:13:06,889 --> 00:13:04,470
you know like like prisms like rainbows

277
00:13:10,850 --> 00:13:06,899
are created and everything it's just not

278
00:13:12,860 --> 00:13:10,860
as good and mirror doesn't do that so so

279
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:12,870
now i have my big the only problem is my

280
00:13:16,730 --> 00:13:14,850
telescope now is it has a 6-foot focal

281
00:13:18,889 --> 00:13:16,740
length so let's make this big and what

282
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:18,899
you have to set your house okay yeah my

283
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:20,370
husband I built it when I was a teacher

284
00:13:27,199 --> 00:13:25,110
you built it we ground the mirror and

285
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:27,209
then we send in a way to get the

286
00:13:31,699 --> 00:13:29,910
aluminum plating fine and it's our house

287
00:13:39,769 --> 00:13:31,709
and we take it out everyone's loud the

288
00:13:40,450 --> 00:13:39,779
neighbors all done it's really fun and

289
00:13:43,450 --> 00:13:40,460
when I was

290
00:13:45,130 --> 00:13:43,460
I put my astronomy students and we'd go

291
00:13:47,950 --> 00:13:45,140
out at night in the parking lot at the

292
00:13:50,260 --> 00:13:47,960
high school and and look at all sorts of

293
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:50,270
stuff yeah well my favorite memory is

294
00:13:54,610 --> 00:13:52,160
when I took it out for a little

295
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:54,620
five-year-old and there up on the on a

296
00:14:02,400 --> 00:13:56,210
chair and they're looking in there and

297
00:14:06,790 --> 00:14:04,570
that's cool sharing it with other people

298
00:14:09,790 --> 00:14:06,800
when you share with others okay so you

299
00:14:11,020 --> 00:14:09,800
built the paper mache astronaut and said

300
00:14:13,060 --> 00:14:11,030
third grade

301
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:13,070
we got the telescope when you're in

302
00:14:16,090 --> 00:14:15,050
sixth grade you built your own telescope

303
00:14:17,950 --> 00:14:16,100
so you this is something you've always

304
00:14:19,930 --> 00:14:17,960
dreamt about yeah did it did it ever

305
00:14:30,730 --> 00:14:19,940
waiver did you always thought you wanted

306
00:14:34,060 --> 00:14:30,740
to so I'm just trying to figure out what

307
00:14:37,570 --> 00:14:34,070
I I really enjoyed in life right so like

308
00:14:39,070 --> 00:14:37,580
and then and then get to NASA size you

309
00:14:40,630 --> 00:14:39,080
know right that was always the goal the

310
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:40,640
big butts but I think that's a cool

311
00:14:45,310 --> 00:14:43,490
thing because no NASA is more than you

312
00:14:47,830 --> 00:14:45,320
know it's lots of different disciplines

313
00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:47,840
right and it's and you know even if

314
00:14:54,070 --> 00:14:51,920
you're not I mean but for everybody no

315
00:14:57,820 --> 00:14:54,080
matter what if you're not necessarily in

316
00:15:02,290 --> 00:14:57,830
a one part of science or yet scientists

317
00:15:04,210 --> 00:15:02,300
but you like but you're or geologists

318
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:04,220
yeah we have we have all different types

319
00:15:07,270 --> 00:15:05,450
and each badge will become astronauts

320
00:15:08,650 --> 00:15:07,280
too you know it's not just say you can't

321
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:08,660
you're eligible to become an astronaut

322
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:10,850
as well but guys it's if you have an

323
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:13,010
interest if you have a field of interest

324
00:15:16,210 --> 00:15:14,510
but you have a love for the space

325
00:15:17,710 --> 00:15:16,220
program but you have an interest in

326
00:15:19,570 --> 00:15:17,720
whatever it is you can apply it to the

327
00:15:21,700 --> 00:15:19,580
space program whether it's you know

328
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:21,710
whether it's flying airplanes or writing

329
00:15:28,510 --> 00:15:25,850
books right or you know we call it

330
00:15:30,010 --> 00:15:28,520
economics we're the financial people we

331
00:15:32,170 --> 00:15:30,020
have a budgets right I mean we have to

332
00:15:34,030 --> 00:15:32,180
people figure out budgets right and

333
00:15:36,550 --> 00:15:34,040
people who have good public speakers and

334
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:36,560
people who are you know whatever every

335
00:15:40,180 --> 00:15:38,510
everything anything you love you can

336
00:15:42,190 --> 00:15:40,190
apply for the space program and your

337
00:15:43,449 --> 00:15:42,200
case had a lot of teaching but also had

338
00:15:47,499 --> 00:15:43,459
a good background science of

339
00:15:49,179 --> 00:15:47,509
I mean so yeah so it sets you up for the

340
00:15:50,619 --> 00:15:49,189
astronaut but I think what's cool about

341
00:15:52,299 --> 00:15:50,629
it is that you followed what you loved

342
00:15:53,439 --> 00:15:52,309
right and they're like a people said I

343
00:15:54,910 --> 00:15:53,449
want to go up to be an astronaut and you

344
00:15:56,230 --> 00:15:54,920
tried to like say what do I need to do

345
00:15:57,669 --> 00:15:56,240
to be an astronaut they'll probably want

346
00:15:59,350 --> 00:15:57,679
to work necessarily right you know

347
00:16:01,059 --> 00:15:59,360
you're gonna be really the importance to

348
00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:01,069
follow what you love doing and then the

349
00:16:03,850 --> 00:16:02,689
opportunities kind of a rose for you

350
00:16:05,889 --> 00:16:03,860
right you wouldn't necessarily think

351
00:16:07,059 --> 00:16:05,899
that I'm gonna become a teacher and then

352
00:16:08,319 --> 00:16:07,069
that's gonna leave but that's what

353
00:16:09,309 --> 00:16:08,329
happened you would never know but you

354
00:16:13,389 --> 00:16:09,319
followed what you know I think that's

355
00:16:16,359 --> 00:16:15,129
and then things kind of work out yeah

356
00:16:18,489 --> 00:16:16,369
you got to have that faith through it a

357
00:16:20,109 --> 00:16:18,499
little bit you can fake but it works out

358
00:16:22,210 --> 00:16:20,119
well thanks very much now you know I was

359
00:16:23,290 --> 00:16:22,220
thinking you saw you saw the stars you

360
00:16:25,119 --> 00:16:23,300
said with that one

361
00:16:26,859 --> 00:16:25,129
that refractive telescope you had when

362
00:16:31,350 --> 00:16:26,869
you were younger yeah and yeah you go
