1
00:00:06,070 --> 00:00:02,950
i think it's important for people to

2
00:00:09,509 --> 00:00:06,080
realize that especially the youth that

3
00:00:11,110 --> 00:00:09,519
even if the cards that life deals you

4
00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:11,120
doesn't always come out in your favor

5
00:00:16,310 --> 00:00:12,960
for you to pursue your dreams from the

6
00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:16,320
start it's important to always dream

7
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:18,720
i am sabrina thompson

8
00:00:26,550 --> 00:00:20,560
i work at nasa

9
00:00:32,069 --> 00:00:29,509
i was raised in a community that was

10
00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:32,079
it was considered the poorest community

11
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:33,920
on long island in new york

12
00:00:36,549 --> 00:00:34,960
and

13
00:00:38,310 --> 00:00:36,559
i remember

14
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:38,320
trying to figure out what i wanted to go

15
00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:40,480
to college for what did i want to study

16
00:00:44,069 --> 00:00:42,480
one teacher told me how about you try

17
00:00:46,470 --> 00:00:44,079
mechanical engineering you're very

18
00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:46,480
creative and you know you're smart

19
00:00:50,549 --> 00:00:48,480
you're good in math and science

20
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:50,559
and i remember

21
00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:53,760
asking my physics teacher about it

22
00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:56,800
and he said no he said you you know

23
00:01:00,389 --> 00:00:58,640
those classes are going to be so hard

24
00:01:02,310 --> 00:01:00,399
for you you should stick with what

25
00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:02,320
you're good at which at the time for me

26
00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:04,400
was art that's kind of what started me

27
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:07,600
on this path actually to pursue a career

28
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:10,000
in engineering so i said all that to say

29
00:01:15,190 --> 00:01:12,960
that you should never let some someone

30
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:15,200
take away your dreams or hinder your

31
00:01:18,469 --> 00:01:16,320
dream

32
00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:18,479
working at nasa that that was a big

33
00:01:24,550 --> 00:01:20,720
accomplishment for me

34
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:24,560
i'm the first in my family actually to

35
00:01:28,230 --> 00:01:26,720
receive a bachelor's degree and a

36
00:01:30,149 --> 00:01:28,240
master's degree

37
00:01:31,190 --> 00:01:30,159
and in the future hopefully a phd as

38
00:01:32,469 --> 00:01:31,200
well

39
00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:32,479
nasa

40
00:01:36,149 --> 00:01:34,400
is a place where there's a lot of great

41
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:36,159
opportunities for people who love

42
00:01:41,429 --> 00:01:38,400
learning i'm one of those people i love

43
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:41,439
to learn and i know that if i had a job

44
00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:42,479
that

45
00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:43,680
i couldn't

46
00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:47,360
would that would hinder me in some way

47
00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:48,560
and so i think that was one thing that

48
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:50,640
really attracted me to nasa just the

49
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:52,720
opportunities to learn

50
00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:55,600
we're making innovative things here and

51
00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:57,280
and so for me that's that's very

52
00:02:01,030 --> 00:01:58,880
important i'm contributing to the

53
00:02:02,709 --> 00:02:01,040
betterment of society so

54
00:02:04,550 --> 00:02:02,719
that's definitely important for me and

55
00:02:06,149 --> 00:02:04,560
nasa is definitely a place where you can

56
00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:06,159
do that

57
00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:08,560
i think my future is very bright i see

58
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:10,720
myself

59
00:02:16,229 --> 00:02:13,760
actually working on space flight

60
00:02:18,949 --> 00:02:16,239
hardware getting into the lines of

61
00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:18,959
actually utilizing my skills as an

62
00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:21,440
aerospace mechanical engineer

63
00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:23,680
depending on you know how things turn

64
00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:26,319
over in the future i actually see myself

65
00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:28,720
becoming an astronaut

66
00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:31,840
and especially a motivational speaker i

67
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:34,879
love talking with kids i love inspiring

68
00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:37,440
people motivating people just to

69
00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:40,160
get the energy inside of them that exist

70
00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:42,080
and use it for

71
00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:43,040
you know

72
00:02:47,270 --> 00:02:44,640
their betterment for the betterment of

73
00:02:50,229 --> 00:02:47,280
society it hurts me to see

people accepting um

heights

131
00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:39,039
and reveal the unknown

132
00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:41,759
so that what we do and what we learn

133
00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:44,800
will benefit all humankind

134
00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:47,520
these women on this website many of whom

135
00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:49,280
you just saw standing

136
00:05:53,189 --> 00:05:51,600
are doing just these things on a daily

137
00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:53,199
basis

138
00:05:56,950 --> 00:05:55,360
so how did this website come about

139
00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:56,960
the white house counsel for women and

140
00:06:02,230 --> 00:05:59,600
girls has members from across the

141
00:06:04,390 --> 00:06:02,240
federal government and our agencies all

142
00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:04,400
contribute our efforts to focus on

143
00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:06,400
enhancing opportunities and removing

144
00:06:11,029 --> 00:06:09,120
barriers for women and girls

145
00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:11,039
one of the priority areas for the

146
00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:12,800
council is increasing the number of

147
00:06:17,670 --> 00:06:15,199
women in science technology and

148
00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:17,680
engineering fields

149
00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:20,479
nasa is in a unique position to inspire

150
00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:22,160
girls and women to enter into these

151
00:06:27,990 --> 00:06:25,600
fields through its incredible mission

152
00:06:29,909 --> 00:06:28,000
so we thought what better way to inspire

153
00:06:32,469 --> 00:06:29,919
women and girls than to share some of

154
00:06:35,029 --> 00:06:32,479
the fascinating stories of women here at

155
00:06:37,909 --> 00:06:35,039
nasa and how they got to nasa through

156
00:06:40,550 --> 00:06:37,919
our website we could have provided links

157
00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:40,560
and lines of information to different

158
00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:43,199
resources for women and girls

159
00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:44,960
but what's more inspiring than seeing

160
00:06:49,589 --> 00:06:46,479
the women themselves and hearing their

161
00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:49,599
stories and so that's what we did

162
00:06:54,629 --> 00:06:51,840
we have a wonderful web designer who is

163
00:06:57,029 --> 00:06:54,639
also our manager of our open government

164
00:06:58,950 --> 00:06:57,039
initiative nick skitland who designed

165
00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:58,960
our website for us who's here in the

00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:52,800
today we are so proud of the

205
00:08:57,590 --> 00:08:54,800
contributions of

206
00:08:59,350 --> 00:08:57,600
all women to uh that we are highlighting

207
00:09:03,030 --> 00:08:59,360
to nasa and we hope to even expand

208
00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:03,040
beyond a 32 some of which uh stood uh

209
00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:05,200
already i do believe they were going to

210
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:08,640
tee up one minute of my of the

211
00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:10,800
four minutes i just said it is just too

212
00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:14,320
long uh on my profile on this video so

213
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:22,630
there are so many happy moments of my

214
00:09:25,670 --> 00:09:23,760
career

215
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:25,680
when president obama asked me to come

216
00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:27,760
back there was no question that i was

217
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:29,279
just thrilled to do

218
00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:33,040
anything here that he felt i could help

219
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:35,600
him do at nasa so of course that's

220
00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:37,920
something that is pretty daunting to

221
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:40,640
come to nasa to serve the president as

222
00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:42,800
the deputy administrator of

223
00:09:47,350 --> 00:09:45,680
an incredible agency going through the

224
00:09:48,710 --> 00:09:47,360
whole process of confirmation with

225
00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:48,720
charlie

226
00:09:53,110 --> 00:09:51,040
bolden was an incredibly

227
00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:53,120
wonderful experience

228
00:09:57,990 --> 00:09:54,880
there have been so many

229
00:10:00,230 --> 00:09:58,000
highlights for me the moment of liftoff

230
00:10:02,069 --> 00:10:00,240
of the last space shuttle mission where

231
00:10:05,509 --> 00:10:02,079
i was with the head of the russian space

232
00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:05,519
agency and on the balcony of osb2 we're

233
00:10:08,550 --> 00:10:07,120
standing there three and a half miles

234
00:10:11,670 --> 00:10:08,560
away and

235
00:10:13,030 --> 00:10:11,680
to think that the very organizations

236
00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:13,040
that

237
00:10:17,269 --> 00:10:15,120
symbolized the cold war were now working

238
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:17,279
together and as the rocket lifted off it

239
00:10:30,870 --> 00:10:28,790
so again please go to the website and

240
00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:30,880
listen and watch as

241
00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:33,760
you outline we outline in this website

242
00:10:38,069 --> 00:10:36,000
for you the backgrounds and experiences

243
00:10:39,509 --> 00:10:38,079

and

247
00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:46,079
the first lego league robotics teams all

248
00:10:50,069 --> 00:10:48,079
female teams we've got here as well as

249
00:10:51,590 --> 00:10:50,079
representatives from schools

250
00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:51,600
around the city

251
00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:54,959
i uniquely unfortunately of course is

252
00:11:00,630 --> 00:10:57,360
so ironic only have boys

253
00:11:03,269 --> 00:11:00,640
my of teenage boys and uh so it is

254
00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:03,279
especially wonderful to uh welcome you

255
00:11:07,350 --> 00:11:05,920
rebecca has her daughter uh down here

256
00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:07,360
just i think to continue to make me

257
00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:09,839
jealous that she

258
00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:12,880
has someone sammy to buy uh pink for

259
00:11:16,150 --> 00:11:14,560
march is

260
00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:16,160
women's history month and the white

261
00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:18,560
house council on women and girls is

262
00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:20,079
co-sponsoring this event with us today

263
00:11:25,750 --> 00:11:22,720
at nasa has identified education and

264
00:11:28,389 --> 00:11:25,760
employment as the two themes to focus on

265
00:11:31,670 --> 00:11:28,399
this month so the people you'll see here

266
00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:31,680
today are prime examples of what you can

267
00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:32,720
achieve

268
00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:34,640
if uh you

269
00:11:38,389 --> 00:11:36,240
pursue

270
00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:38,399
science and technology

271
00:11:42,949 --> 00:11:41,279
engineering and math education stem

272
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:42,959
education is something that we care a

273
00:11:46,870 --> 00:11:44,880
lot about at nasa we are the largest

274
00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:46,880
federal employers of people in the stem

275
00:11:50,150 --> 00:11:48,160
fields

276
00:11:52,710 --> 00:11:50,160
while there are a lot of career paths

277
00:11:55,190 --> 00:11:52,720
that are of course going to make you all

278
00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:55,200
productive members of society

279
00:11:59,670 --> 00:11:57,519
we in particular believe that women

280
00:12:03,269 --> 00:11:59,680
going into the stem fields is something

281
00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:03,279
that we at nasa want to promote

282
00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:05,040
women have over the years made huge

283
00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:06,320
contributions

284
00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:09,120
to nasa we've been astronauts scientists

285
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:11,760
engineers program managers and yes

286
00:12:16,949 --> 00:12:14,560
bureaucrats like me

287
00:12:18,629 --> 00:12:16,959
a woman wrote nasa's founding documents

288
00:12:21,110 --> 00:12:18,639
in 1958

289
00:12:23,590 --> 00:12:21,120
eileen galloway she only died a few

290
00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:23,600
years ago at 105 and it was a privilege

291
00:12:27,829 --> 00:12:25,040
to know her she worked for lyndon

292
00:12:31,350 --> 00:12:27,839
johnson in the united states senate and

293
00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:31,360
wrote the space act of 1958

294
00:12:36,069 --> 00:12:34,160
a woman founded nasa i know a lot of

295
00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:36,079
people believe it was eisenhower but i'm

296
00:12:41,910 --> 00:12:38,480
giving it to eileen galloway

297
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:41,920
it was a woman who very recently uh

298
00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:43,920
she was funded by nasa research money

299
00:12:48,629 --> 00:12:47,040
but she found this unique life form on

300
00:12:51,670 --> 00:12:48,639
earth maybe you heard of it based on

301
00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:51,680
arsenic rather than carbon and she is

302
00:12:56,389 --> 00:12:53,920
only 33 years old

303
00:12:58,949 --> 00:12:56,399
but as i said we need more

304
00:13:00,550 --> 00:12:58,959
we have about 6 000 women at nasa here's

305
00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:00,560
the statistics part we love our

306
00:13:06,870 --> 00:13:03,440
statistics at nasa we have 18 000 civil

307
00:13:09,350 --> 00:13:06,880

600 are women

309
00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:12,399
uh 2 500 are engineers and that's out of

310
00:13:16,150 --> 00:13:14,240
uh or in technical fields and that's out

311
00:13:18,069 --> 00:13:16,160
about uh 9 000

312
00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:18,079
engineers

313
00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:19,519
and

314
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:22,160
our general employment

315
00:13:26,230 --> 00:13:24,480
so let's talk about that for a minute

316
00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:26,240
how do how do you guys feel about that

317
00:13:29,430 --> 00:13:28,320

a quarter

319
00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:32,000
of of uh the population

320
00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:32,880
no

321
00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:35,200
what are we

322
00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:36,480
we're actually a little more than half

323
00:13:41,030 --> 00:13:39,440
right so we live longer uh so

324
00:13:41,910 --> 00:13:41,040
we do

325
00:13:45,269 --> 00:13:41,920
uh

326
00:13:47,590 --> 00:13:45,279
have a ways to go i think i i know for

327
00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:47,600
myself i owe so much to the generation

328
00:13:51,509 --> 00:13:49,839
that came before me they literally

329
00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:51,519
opened the doors to allow me to have the

330
00:13:55,590 --> 00:13:53,920
opportunities that i have

331
00:13:58,230 --> 00:13:55,600
but that just makes me more committed

332
00:14:01,030 --> 00:13:58,240
every day to do the same for you

333
00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:01,040

338
00:14:15,509 --> 00:14:13,040
directors is a woman none of our mission

339
00:14:18,389 --> 00:14:15,519
directors are women our deputy's a woman

340
00:14:21,670 --> 00:14:18,399
i'm even the second woman deputy at nasa

341
00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:21,680
um okay it's progress uh but let's not

342
00:14:26,230 --> 00:14:24,240
let's let's not stop trying to reach uh

343
00:14:29,910 --> 00:14:26,240
for for full equality

344
00:14:31,269 --> 00:14:29,920
um i can see your generation is going to

345
00:14:32,790 --> 00:14:31,279
change that

346
00:14:35,430 --> 00:14:32,800
your generation no one's going to

347
00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:35,440
mention if you're the deputy that uh in

348
00:14:40,710 --> 00:14:38,320
particular uh you're you're a woman so

349
00:14:42,629 --> 00:14:40,720
this is uh a commitment

350
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:42,639
that that i make to this and it's one of

351
00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:44,560
the reasons i'm so happy that nasa is

352
00:14:47,030 --> 00:14:45,680
partnering

353
00:14:49,829 --> 00:14:47,040
with the white house council on women

354
00:14:51,990 --> 00:14:49,839
and girls and doing this website

355
00:14:54,389 --> 00:14:52,000
so the white house also just issued a

356
00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:54,399
report called women in america it

357
00:14:58,470 --> 00:14:56,639
summarizes the status of women women

358
00:15:00,230 --> 00:14:58,480
generally in many areas including

359
00:15:02,629 --> 00:15:00,240
careers in education and health where

360
00:15:04,629 --> 00:15:02,639
we've made a lot a lot of advancements

361
00:15:07,509 --> 00:15:04,639
uh it's the first time this report has

362
00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:07,519
been done since 1963. i think people

363
00:15:11,509 --> 00:15:10,320
thought maybe we were done are we done

364
00:15:14,389 --> 00:15:11,519
not so much

365
00:15:16,230 --> 00:15:14,399
uh as the report notes we do still have

366
00:15:17,269 --> 00:15:16,240
a long way to go but women are out

367
00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:17,279
making

368
00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:19,279
many many strides in the workplace and

369
00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:21,680
of course in in education i have to

370
00:15:25,430 --> 00:15:23,920
acknowledge having one of my uh boys

371
00:15:27,189 --> 00:15:25,440
just go through the college application

372
00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:27,199
process you know he can have lower

373
00:15:30,629 --> 00:15:29,199
scores and get in because women in

374
00:15:32,550 --> 00:15:30,639
general have higher scores and they need

375
00:15:34,949 --> 00:15:32,560
a few boys just to go to college these

376
00:15:36,550 --> 00:15:34,959
days to to meet with you guys so see i

377
00:15:39,509 --> 00:15:36,560

399
00:16:30,470 --> 00:16:28,560
program as i mentioned uh the white

400
00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:30,480
house council for women and girls and

401
00:16:35,110 --> 00:16:32,720
the chair of that council is miss

advisor to the president of the united

404
00:16:41,430 --> 00:16:39,040
states of america so i'd add that it's

405
00:16:43,189 --> 00:16:41,440
not just any old president uh assistant

the obama administration and this was

412
00:16:59,990 --> 00:16:58,959
where i first got to meet this amazing

413
00:17:02,949 --> 00:17:00,000

414
00:17:05,669 --> 00:17:02,959

418
00:17:15,029 --> 00:17:12,319
we spend a couple months think about now

419
00:17:17,110 --> 00:17:15,039
your your public your political science

420
00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:17,120
part of your studies

421
00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:19,760
when the election happens in the united

422
00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:20,880

457
00:18:51,830 --> 00:18:49,840
terrific terrific opportunity is for me

i heard about you all right and i love

460
00:18:58,390 --> 00:18:57,120
your outfits so um so let me tell you

461
00:18:59,669 --> 00:18:58,400
this

462
00:19:01,909 --> 00:18:59,679
i think

463
00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:01,919
the fact that we can try to get young

464
00:19:05,750 --> 00:19:03,600
people interested in science and

465
00:19:07,430 --> 00:19:05,760
technology and engineering and math is

466
00:19:08,950 --> 00:19:07,440
exactly where we should put our focus

467
00:19:11,190 --> 00:19:08,960
right now and the president has made it

468
00:19:13,190 --> 00:19:11,200
a priority i um

469
00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:13,200
i think about the women astronaut sally

470
00:19:17,270 --> 00:19:15,520
ride or me mae jamison who i have to

471
00:19:19,510 --> 00:19:17,280
tell you guys i went to college with we

472
00:19:21,669 --> 00:19:19,520
lived in the same dorm and although i

473
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:21,679
wouldn't have necessarily predicted that

474
00:19:26,390 --> 00:19:23,520
she would be an astronaut i knew that

475
00:19:28,950 --> 00:19:26,400
may had the gift and determination and

476
00:19:31,190 --> 00:19:28,960
tenacity to do whatever she put her mind

477
00:19:33,270 --> 00:19:31,200
to doing and so even though it's been

478
00:19:34,950 --> 00:19:33,280
just a few years ago since we were in

479
00:19:36,549 --> 00:19:34,960
college together you could laugh it's

480
00:19:39,909 --> 00:19:36,559
funny i know it's not like it was a few

481
00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:39,919
years ago it was like 30 years ago but

482
00:19:44,230 --> 00:19:42,799
i saw in her a spark and a passion and

483
00:19:45,990 --> 00:19:44,240
it's really what has fueled her all

484
00:19:47,510 --> 00:19:46,000
these years and i'm hoping and i can

485
00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:47,520
just tell by the looks of many of your

486
00:19:52,390 --> 00:19:49,760
faces that you guys have that passion

487
00:19:54,950 --> 00:19:52,400
too so the president has been focused

488
00:19:56,789 --> 00:19:54,960
like a laser beam on getting young folks

489
00:19:57,990 --> 00:19:56,799
involved in science and technology and

490
00:19:59,669 --> 00:19:58,000
engineering and math and i want to just

491
00:20:01,590 --> 00:19:59,679
talk to you a little bit about what

492
00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:01,600
we're doing at the white house

493
00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:04,480
so in 2009 the president set a very

494
00:20:09,830 --> 00:20:07,200
ambitious goal he wanted to move the u.s

495
00:20:11,990 --> 00:20:09,840
students to the top in math and science

496
00:20:14,149 --> 00:20:12,000
over the next decade and so in his state

497
00:20:16,390 --> 00:20:14,159
of the union this year the president

498
00:20:18,630 --> 00:20:16,400
called for the nation uh to have an

499
00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:18,640
effort to get a hundred thousand new

500
00:20:21,590 --> 00:20:20,480
teachers in science and technology and

501
00:20:23,669 --> 00:20:21,600
engineering and math so you'll have

502
00:20:25,350 --> 00:20:23,679
plenty of people out there ready to

503
00:20:27,110 --> 00:20:25,360
teach and engaged

504
00:20:30,230 --> 00:20:27,120
and dedicated to this very important

505
00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:30,240
field and as we focus on education we

506
00:20:34,310 --> 00:20:31,520
want to make sure that we're doing

507
00:20:36,630 --> 00:20:34,320
everything we can to support going into

508
00:20:38,710 --> 00:20:36,640
these important fields and so that's why

509
00:20:41,190 --> 00:20:38,720
in the president's education initiative

510
00:20:44,230 --> 00:20:41,200
called race to the top he invested four

511
00:20:45,990 --> 00:20:44,240
billion dollars specifically targeting

512
00:20:47,590 --> 00:20:46,000
women and girls and getting them

513
00:20:49,990 --> 00:20:47,600
interested in these fields and so i want

514
00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:50,000
you to know you are on his mind

515
00:20:53,830 --> 00:20:51,520
it's also why he launched a new

516
00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:53,840
initiative called educate to innovate

517
00:20:57,830 --> 00:20:55,760
and this is a campaign

518
00:20:59,830 --> 00:20:57,840
that's a public-private partnership

519
00:21:01,990 --> 00:20:59,840
geared towards focusing on math and

520
00:21:03,750 --> 00:21:02,000
science and another one called change

521
00:21:06,310 --> 00:21:03,760
the equation where we now have over a

522
00:21:08,630 --> 00:21:06,320
hundred companies who are working with

523
00:21:10,870 --> 00:21:08,640
us to design curriculum and to mentor

524
00:21:12,710 --> 00:21:10,880
young girls and to get you guys all

525
00:21:14,710 --> 00:21:12,720
excited and knowing that if you pursue

526
00:21:16,149 --> 00:21:14,720
these careers when you finish your

527
00:21:18,630 --> 00:21:16,159
education there's going to be just a

528
00:21:20,549 --> 00:21:18,640
terrific job waiting for you at the end

529
00:21:21,830 --> 00:21:20,559
of it and to any of the employers who

530
00:21:24,070 --> 00:21:21,840
are watching out there we want to make

531
00:21:25,669 --> 00:21:24,080
sure that everyone gets engaged in this

532
00:21:28,230 --> 00:21:25,679
sometimes when you just walk in the door

533
00:21:29,909 --> 00:21:28,240
and you visit a potential employer you

534
00:21:31,830 --> 00:21:29,919
see what they're doing just like

535
00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:31,840
hopefully coming here today provides you

536
00:21:36,149 --> 00:21:34,080
with just a little inkling into what the

537
00:21:37,909 --> 00:21:36,159
possibilities would be and we want to

538
00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:37,919
make sure that we engage the private

539
00:21:41,350 --> 00:21:39,600
sector in that

540
00:21:44,549 --> 00:21:41,360
the federal workforce is getting

541
00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:44,559
involved as well we have over 200 000

542
00:21:48,630 --> 00:21:47,039
federal scientists and engineers who are

543
00:21:50,710 --> 00:21:48,640
working in their local schools and

544
00:21:52,630 --> 00:21:50,720
communities in their mentoring and

545
00:21:54,470 --> 00:21:52,640
providing providing experience in

546
00:21:55,669 --> 00:21:54,480
hands-on science to more and more

547
00:21:57,190 --> 00:21:55,679
students

548
00:21:58,789 --> 00:21:57,200
at the white house

549
00:22:01,029 --> 00:21:58,799
i chair the white house council on women

550
00:22:02,710 --> 00:22:01,039
and girls and our goal is to look across

551
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:02,720
the federal government all the agencies

552
00:22:05,990 --> 00:22:04,240
and that's why we have nasa as a partner

553
00:22:08,390 --> 00:22:06,000
and we have every federal agency as a

554
00:22:10,870 --> 00:22:08,400
partner and our mission is simple what

555
00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:10,880
can we do to improve the quality of life

556
00:22:13,990 --> 00:22:12,799
in the united states for women and for

557
00:22:16,149 --> 00:22:14,000

and everything from at the uh the state

562
00:22:25,430 --> 00:22:23,760
of the union this year when the

563
00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:25,440
president was focusing on science and

564
00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:27,440
technology and engineering and math the

565
00:22:32,549 --> 00:22:30,240
first lady had some young girls in the

566
00:22:34,390 --> 00:22:32,559
box who were interested in the field we

567
00:22:36,070 --> 00:22:34,400
had a science fair

568
00:22:37,750 --> 00:22:36,080
at the white house we had astronomy

569
00:22:39,110 --> 00:22:37,760
night at the white house we have an

570
00:22:40,630 --> 00:22:39,120
easter egg roll which most of you are

571
00:22:42,710 --> 00:22:40,640
too old for at the white house but we're

572
00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:42,720
going to focus on science there this

573
00:22:45,510 --> 00:22:44,240
year because we want to get people

574
00:22:47,669 --> 00:22:45,520
interested when they're young and we

575
00:22:48,789 --> 00:22:47,679
want to be able to help you so that the

576
00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:48,799
next time we come back in this

577
00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:51,280
auditorium is 10 times the size full of

578
00:22:54,470 --> 00:22:53,120
terrific young people interested in this

579
00:22:56,710 --> 00:22:54,480
field

580
00:22:58,789 --> 00:22:56,720
i also want to ask you a few questions

581
00:23:01,909 --> 00:22:58,799
just to give you things to think about

582
00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:01,919
first one is how can nasa do unique

583
00:23:05,909 --> 00:23:03,760
things to get young people interested in

584
00:23:07,430 --> 00:23:05,919
science obviously today is one step in

585
00:23:09,909 --> 00:23:07,440
the right direction for those of you who

586
00:23:12,070 --> 00:23:09,919
who are here are already interested so

587
00:23:13,750 --> 00:23:12,080
what can nasa do to help get you

588
00:23:15,909 --> 00:23:13,760
interested well let me throw out just a

589
00:23:17,590 --> 00:23:15,919
few ideas that we have and then you all

590
00:23:19,430 --> 00:23:17,600
will have some ideas too and i see you

591
00:23:22,470 --> 00:23:19,440
guys giggling in the back

592
00:23:24,149 --> 00:23:22,480
uh there is a current move growing to

593
00:23:26,470 --> 00:23:24,159
say for students who are seriously

594
00:23:27,430 --> 00:23:26,480
interested in space exploration and they

595
00:23:30,149 --> 00:23:27,440
call it

596
00:23:31,669 --> 00:23:30,159
a diy space do-it-yourself space just

597
00:23:32,950 --> 00:23:31,679
like you know do-it-yourself house

598
00:23:35,110 --> 00:23:32,960
repairs

599
00:23:36,870 --> 00:23:35,120
and these folks are building small

600
00:23:38,390 --> 00:23:36,880
satellite phones that you can put into

601
00:23:39,350 --> 00:23:38,400
orbit

602
00:23:40,630 --> 00:23:39,360
even

603
00:23:42,230 --> 00:23:40,640
in our high schools they're trying to

604
00:23:44,710 --> 00:23:42,240
build these mini satellites something

605
00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:44,720
that's never been done before

606
00:23:48,310 --> 00:23:46,720
or imagine if you could put the tools of

607
00:23:50,310 --> 00:23:48,320
invention right in the hands of all

608
00:23:51,750 --> 00:23:50,320
children so that they could just hit a

609
00:23:53,590 --> 00:23:51,760
print button

610
00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:53,600
and they could design computers that

611
00:23:57,430 --> 00:23:55,760
they would print out in 3d whatever they

612
00:23:58,310 --> 00:23:57,440
came up with that'd be pretty cool i

613
00:23:59,669 --> 00:23:58,320
think

614
00:24:01,350 --> 00:23:59,679
or imagine if you could get an

615
00:24:03,350 --> 00:24:01,360
achievement badge

616
00:24:05,190 --> 00:24:03,360
in space exploration just like the girl

617
00:24:07,110 --> 00:24:05,200
scouts get their badges

618
00:24:09,590 --> 00:24:07,120
or a black belt in karate when you

619
00:24:12,789 --> 00:24:09,600
practice harder you go to the next level

620
00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:12,799
imagine if nasa with game designers and

621
00:24:16,630 --> 00:24:15,360
helped you create space explorers and

622
00:24:18,470 --> 00:24:16,640
you could have badges and you could

623
00:24:21,029 --> 00:24:18,480
start on your path to becoming an

624
00:24:23,029 --> 00:24:21,039
astronaut right now these are just a few

625
00:24:24,950 --> 00:24:23,039
of the many examples that we want to

626
00:24:26,549 --> 00:24:24,960
engage with you and get you excited and

627
00:24:27,590 --> 00:24:26,559
get you thinking about

628
00:24:29,190 --> 00:24:27,600
and

629
00:24:31,269 --> 00:24:29,200
i guess i would close by just saying

630
00:24:33,590 --> 00:24:31,279
this to you you all are so incredibly

631
00:24:36,149 --> 00:24:33,600
special you're just so

632
00:24:38,149 --> 00:24:36,159
gifted and you're so talented and we are

633
00:24:40,070 --> 00:24:38,159
all pulling for you and what we want you

634
00:24:41,510 --> 00:24:40,080
to do is pull for yourself

635
00:24:43,029 --> 00:24:41,520
challenge yourself

636
00:24:45,029 --> 00:24:43,039
see what you can do to push yourself

637
00:24:46,950 --> 00:24:45,039
just that little bit further and know

638
00:24:50,149 --> 00:24:46,960
that from the president on of the united

639
00:24:52,549 --> 00:24:50,159
states to nasa to all of your incredible

smalling

647
00:25:11,430 --> 00:25:09,679

00:25:16,549 --> 00:25:14,960
thank you so much for coming i uh

650
00:25:18,310 --> 00:25:16,559
have to

651
00:25:19,750 --> 00:25:18,320
just let you know that a number of the

652
00:25:23,350 --> 00:25:19,760
events you talked about certainly

653
00:25:25,909 --> 00:25:23,360
astronomy night and the uh she president

654
00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:25,919
obama had the science fair winners and i

655
00:25:29,590 --> 00:25:27,600
of course always focus as i was telling

656
00:25:32,310 --> 00:25:29,600
you on the young women but i was allowed

657
00:25:34,549 --> 00:25:32,320
to bring my boys i only have boys to

658
00:25:36,789 --> 00:25:34,559
astronomy night on the white house lawn

659
00:25:38,390 --> 00:25:36,799
uh but of course the poor things uh we

660
00:25:40,470 --> 00:25:38,400
highlighted the woman that night she's

661
00:25:43,990 --> 00:25:40,480
she was a girl i think she's 11 who

662
00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:44,000
discovered a uh supernova

663
00:25:48,149 --> 00:25:46,080
and uh so the boys come home do your

664
00:25:51,350 --> 00:25:48,159
homework you haven't discovered anything

665
00:25:53,430 --> 00:25:51,360
you're 16 and 18 years old so sometimes

666
00:25:56,230 --> 00:25:53,440
it's it's it's a little a little hard to

667
00:25:59,750 --> 00:25:56,240
live in my house but uh we really want

668
00:26:01,029 --> 00:25:59,760
to thank uh valerie jarrett for her

669
00:26:02,310 --> 00:26:01,039
support

670
00:26:03,669 --> 00:26:02,320
of the

671
00:26:06,390 --> 00:26:03,679
women at

672
00:26:08,070 --> 00:26:06,400
nasa website we could not have done this

673
00:26:10,870 --> 00:26:08,080
without the white house leadership of

674
00:26:12,630 --> 00:26:10,880
the council and so we have of course

675
00:26:14,149 --> 00:26:12,640
nasa does not do things in small ways

676
00:26:16,630 --> 00:26:14,159
and tracy is going to help me present

677
00:26:20,470 --> 00:26:16,640
this because she's actually got pins on

678
00:26:22,710 --> 00:26:20,480
it valerie this is a montage that

679
00:26:25,830 --> 00:26:22,720
women have been on every mission that is

680
00:26:27,990 --> 00:26:25,840
represented here at nasa and our

681
00:26:29,990 --> 00:26:28,000
citation reads in recognition of your

682
00:26:32,470 --> 00:26:30,000
outstanding leadership in inspiring and

scientists engineers leaders and

685
00:26:39,990 --> 00:26:37,760
innovators this montage contains the

686
00:26:42,710 --> 00:26:40,000
pins of space shuttle and international

687
00:26:44,470 --> 00:26:42,720
space station crews that included nasa

688
00:26:46,870 --> 00:26:44,480
female astronauts who were key

689
00:26:48,950 --> 00:26:46,880
contributors to the nation's human

690
00:26:49,990 --> 00:26:48,960
spaceflight program this is just a

691
00:26:52,950 --> 00:26:50,000
little thing

692
00:26:54,230 --> 00:26:52,960

for uh our our astronaut who is here

705
00:27:25,590 --> 00:27:21,600
from outer space to talk to us

706
00:27:28,789 --> 00:27:25,600
tracy caldwell dyson is a chemist she is

707
00:27:31,190 --> 00:27:28,799
a nasa astronaut she is one of 53 women

708
00:27:34,230 --> 00:27:31,200
to travel to space out of some

709
00:27:36,470 --> 00:27:34,240
500 people who have been in orbit again

710
00:27:38,470 --> 00:27:36,480
we're still working on that tracy was a

711
00:27:39,590 --> 00:27:38,480
mission specialist on the space shuttle

712
00:27:41,990 --> 00:27:39,600
endeavor

713
00:27:44,630 --> 00:27:42,000
that mission uh took place in august of

714
00:27:45,990 --> 00:27:44,640
2007. if you guys are paying much

715
00:27:48,549 --> 00:27:46,000
attention which hopefully you are

716
00:27:50,789 --> 00:27:48,559
endeavor is on the launch pad right now

717
00:27:52,789 --> 00:27:50,799
for liftoff in april

718
00:27:54,789 --> 00:27:52,799
on that mission she operated endeavour's

719
00:27:57,029 --> 00:27:54,799
robotic arm and served as a crew member

720
00:28:00,070 --> 00:27:57,039
inside the station directoring directing

721
00:28:02,789 --> 00:28:00,080
four spacewalks and she flew more than

722
00:28:05,110 --> 00:28:02,799
five million miles in space just on that

723
00:28:08,230 --> 00:28:05,120
mission alone and that was a short

724
00:28:09,029 --> 00:28:08,240
mission probably about 12 or 13

725
00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:09,039
days

726
00:28:13,029 --> 00:28:10,799
but last year she launched aboard a

727
00:28:15,110 --> 00:28:13,039
russian soyuz capsule to the space

728
00:28:17,110 --> 00:28:15,120
station the international space station

729
00:28:19,590 --> 00:28:17,120
she went on to live aboard the station

730
00:28:21,909 --> 00:28:19,600
for nearly six months and it doesn't say

731
00:28:24,230 --> 00:28:21,919
how many million miles because i'm sure

732
00:28:27,350 --> 00:28:24,240
she knows she completed at that time

733
00:28:29,430 --> 00:28:27,360
then three of her own spacewalks to do

734
00:28:30,470 --> 00:28:29,440
repairs on the international space

735
00:28:32,470 --> 00:28:30,480
station

736
00:28:33,430 --> 00:28:32,480
when she and three of her colleagues

737
00:28:35,750 --> 00:28:33,440
joined

738
00:28:37,510 --> 00:28:35,760
uh with the space shuttle docking they

739
00:28:40,389 --> 00:28:37,520
did make history with four women in

740
00:28:43,110 --> 00:28:40,399
space at once the first time we've had

741
00:28:45,029 --> 00:28:43,120
four women in space at one time she says

742
00:28:47,510 --> 00:28:45,039
she wanted to be an astronaut for many

743
00:28:49,430 --> 00:28:47,520
years but let's watch and listen to her

744
00:29:04,389 --> 00:28:49,440
story in her own words as seen on our

745
00:29:04,399 --> 00:29:06,789
wow

746
00:29:10,310 --> 00:29:07,990
the greatest

747
00:29:14,389 --> 00:29:10,320
barrier i've had to overcome in my

748
00:29:21,990 --> 00:29:16,389
that's the scariest thing that i've ever

749
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,310
yeah

750
00:29:28,630 --> 00:29:26,549
i'm not completely void of it

751
00:29:31,190 --> 00:29:28,640
um

752
00:29:32,310 --> 00:29:31,200
but uh

753
00:29:34,230 --> 00:29:32,320
what

754
00:29:35,750 --> 00:29:34,240
uh

755
00:29:37,510 --> 00:29:35,760
when i look back on the moments that

756
00:29:39,990 --> 00:29:37,520
i've struggled the most it's been where

757
00:29:41,750 --> 00:29:40,000
i've let my confidence

758
00:29:43,190 --> 00:29:41,760
droop

759
00:29:45,269 --> 00:29:43,200
what had gone for me is i'm a hard

760
00:29:47,350 --> 00:29:45,279
worker you tell me i can't do something

761
00:29:50,470 --> 00:29:47,360
i'm going to prove to you that i can

762
00:29:53,669 --> 00:29:50,480
determination that that that

763
00:29:56,710 --> 00:29:53,679
pays a lot of the bill and

764
00:29:57,990 --> 00:29:56,720
and really helps you overcome fears for

765
00:30:00,310 --> 00:29:58,000
at least

766
00:30:03,029 --> 00:30:00,320
a number of people i know

767
00:30:05,029 --> 00:30:03,039
what did i want to be when i grew up

768
00:30:06,549 --> 00:30:05,039
well i think like all kids

769
00:30:08,870 --> 00:30:06,559
when you

770
00:30:11,110 --> 00:30:08,880
look up in the stars and

771
00:30:13,110 --> 00:30:11,120
you see the infinity of space you think

772
00:30:14,630 --> 00:30:13,120
you want to be an astronaut

773
00:30:17,110 --> 00:30:14,640
but then also you got pets and you want

774
00:30:18,789 --> 00:30:17,120
to become a veterinarian and you see

775
00:30:21,750 --> 00:30:18,799
heroes like firemen come out and save

776
00:30:23,510 --> 00:30:21,760
the day you want to be one of those two

777
00:30:25,990 --> 00:30:23,520
probably wasn't until i was about 16

778
00:30:28,070 --> 00:30:26,000
years old when i got really serious

779
00:30:31,110 --> 00:30:28,080
about what i wanted to be

780
00:30:32,549 --> 00:30:31,120
and it was a little bit of research i

781
00:30:33,669 --> 00:30:32,559
discovered i wanted to become an

782
00:30:35,669 --> 00:30:33,679
astronaut

783
00:30:37,590 --> 00:30:35,679
you know when i was a

784
00:30:39,909 --> 00:30:37,600
kid in high school i was really

785
00:30:41,750 --> 00:30:39,919
fascinated by science

786
00:30:45,750 --> 00:30:41,760
i was fascinated

787
00:30:48,389 --> 00:30:45,760
there were these questions out there

788
00:30:50,870 --> 00:30:48,399
like why is the sky blue why does water

789
00:30:53,830 --> 00:30:50,880
boil and i i was a kid with just a lot

790
00:30:55,990 --> 00:30:53,840
of questions and no answers and

791
00:30:56,870 --> 00:30:56,000
was that curiosity

792
00:30:59,909 --> 00:30:56,880
that

793
00:31:01,990 --> 00:30:59,919
i was was satiated was

794
00:31:03,830 --> 00:31:02,000
was quenched by

795
00:31:05,269 --> 00:31:03,840
science and namely chemistry i think

796
00:31:06,950 --> 00:31:05,279
that's why i gravitated towards

797
00:31:08,230 --> 00:31:06,960
chemistry because it went it answered

798
00:31:10,149 --> 00:31:08,240
the questions

799
00:31:11,750 --> 00:31:10,159
that i had

800
00:31:14,549 --> 00:31:11,760
my whole life

801
00:31:17,110 --> 00:31:14,559
i focused on area of chemistry that

802
00:31:19,430 --> 00:31:17,120
really fascinated me it had nothing

803
00:31:20,549 --> 00:31:19,440
really to do with a space or being an

804
00:31:22,389 --> 00:31:20,559
astronaut but it was something that

805
00:31:23,669 --> 00:31:22,399
really motivated me

806
00:31:25,350 --> 00:31:23,679
and

807
00:31:27,029 --> 00:31:25,360
turned out to be pretty successful at it

808
00:31:30,310 --> 00:31:27,039
and i think that's

809
00:31:33,909 --> 00:31:30,320
100 because i really enjoyed it i had

810
00:31:35,190 --> 00:31:33,919
some struggles in college with math

811
00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:35,200
and

812
00:31:38,870 --> 00:31:36,640
those really

813
00:31:40,630 --> 00:31:38,880
were a roadblock to

814
00:31:42,870 --> 00:31:40,640
succeeding in chemistry i understood

815
00:31:44,630 --> 00:31:42,880
chemistry fine i mean i could picture

816
00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:44,640
molecules and electrons zooming around a

817
00:31:47,669 --> 00:31:46,480
nucleus and all that kind of good stuff

818
00:31:49,190 --> 00:31:47,679
but

819
00:31:51,990 --> 00:31:49,200
in order to keep going further in

820
00:31:54,870 --> 00:31:52,000
chemistry which was my passion i had to

821
00:31:56,470 --> 00:31:54,880
prove a level of competency in math that

822
00:31:58,149 --> 00:31:56,480
i just wasn't comfortable with and why

823
00:32:01,190 --> 00:31:58,159
didn't i feel comfortable with math

824
00:32:03,750 --> 00:32:01,200
because math was this abstract thing

825
00:32:05,669 --> 00:32:03,760
that um was something you did on paper

826
00:32:07,269 --> 00:32:05,679
but it did just didn't have any

827
00:32:09,590 --> 00:32:07,279
application in the outside world

828
00:32:10,870 --> 00:32:09,600
according to tracy caldwell

829
00:32:11,750 --> 00:32:10,880
and

830
00:32:13,830 --> 00:32:11,760
uh

831
00:32:15,909 --> 00:32:13,840
what what what started to make a

832
00:32:18,149 --> 00:32:15,919
difference to me in math and why i

833
00:32:20,710 --> 00:32:18,159
thought i could conquer it was the day

834
00:32:23,269 --> 00:32:20,720
that i i was learning a topic in math

835
00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:23,279
and calculus and it made no sense to me

836
00:32:26,310 --> 00:32:25,120
it was an abstract thing

837
00:32:28,389 --> 00:32:26,320
and then

838
00:32:30,070 --> 00:32:28,399
in that same semester i was taking a

839
00:32:32,630 --> 00:32:30,080
class in chemistry and physical

840
00:32:34,310 --> 00:32:32,640
chemistry and there's actually math

841
00:32:36,149 --> 00:32:34,320
believe it or not that describes the

842
00:32:39,269 --> 00:32:36,159
motion of electron around the nucleus of

843
00:32:40,870 --> 00:32:39,279
an atom go figure i didn't i wasn't even

844
00:32:43,669 --> 00:32:40,880
prepared for that but it got my

845
00:32:46,950 --> 00:32:43,679
attention why because i loved chemistry

846
00:32:48,070 --> 00:32:46,960
and and here was chemistry using math

847
00:32:50,870 --> 00:32:48,080
to

848
00:32:53,590 --> 00:32:50,880
help me understand chemistry better

849
00:32:55,430 --> 00:32:53,600
so what i learned from that was that you

850
00:32:56,630 --> 00:32:55,440
know that that math did have an

851
00:32:59,750 --> 00:32:56,640
application

852
00:33:02,470 --> 00:32:59,760
it was chemistry and and i could get

853
00:33:05,350 --> 00:33:02,480
really excited about something that

854
00:33:06,870 --> 00:33:05,360
scares me if i can

855
00:33:08,870 --> 00:33:06,880
appreciate

856
00:33:11,269 --> 00:33:08,880
i make a connection to it to something

857
00:33:12,630 --> 00:33:11,279
that i really enjoy

858
00:33:14,870 --> 00:33:12,640
and it's

859
00:33:16,630 --> 00:33:14,880
overcoming that that fear of mass

860
00:33:19,029 --> 00:33:16,640
knowing that knowing that yes indeed i

861
00:33:21,029 --> 00:33:19,039
can't understand math i've got to humble

862
00:33:23,830 --> 00:33:21,039
myself and ask questions

863
00:33:25,110 --> 00:33:23,840
i've got to work hard and do extra

864
00:33:27,110 --> 00:33:25,120
problems

865
00:33:30,230 --> 00:33:27,120
you know when i don't feel like it or

866
00:33:31,350 --> 00:33:30,240
i'm scared and i just gotta go for it

867
00:33:33,350 --> 00:33:31,360
because

868
00:33:36,070 --> 00:33:33,360
it's if it's an obstacle to get to what

869
00:33:38,870 --> 00:33:36,080
i want it's gonna still be there whether

870
00:33:40,870 --> 00:33:38,880
i want it to be or not and it's amazing

871
00:33:42,310 --> 00:33:40,880
how much you can grow when you decide

872
00:33:44,149 --> 00:33:42,320
you're just going to conquer that thing

873
00:33:46,950 --> 00:33:44,159
and not let that thing conquer you so

874
00:33:50,149 --> 00:33:46,960
i'm really glad that i got over math

875
00:33:53,029 --> 00:33:50,159
if i'd give some advice

876
00:33:56,149 --> 00:33:53,039
just based on on my own life and and

877
00:33:58,789 --> 00:33:56,159
what put me on the right path

878
00:34:01,029 --> 00:33:58,799
that's to know yourself

879
00:34:03,830 --> 00:34:01,039
uh you know you've heard people say

880
00:34:04,830 --> 00:34:03,840
dream big or follow your heart but

881
00:34:06,470 --> 00:34:04,840
know

882
00:34:08,310 --> 00:34:06,480
yourself

883
00:34:10,389 --> 00:34:08,320
and put some stock in the things that

884
00:34:12,069 --> 00:34:10,399
you enjoy doing

885
00:34:14,550 --> 00:34:12,079
because it's

886
00:34:15,430 --> 00:34:14,560
it's when you enjoy what you're doing

887
00:34:17,270 --> 00:34:15,440
that

888
00:34:18,950 --> 00:34:17,280
it's going to bring out the best in you

889
00:34:21,430 --> 00:34:18,960
and that's what we want that's what you

890
00:34:23,430 --> 00:34:21,440
want

891
00:34:36,069 --> 00:34:23,440
i'm tracy caldwell dyson and i work at

892
00:34:40,869 --> 00:34:38,470
well thank you very much and lori thank

893
00:34:42,149 --> 00:34:40,879
you for that introduction and a bit of a

894
00:34:44,629 --> 00:34:42,159
history on

895
00:34:46,950 --> 00:34:44,639
what i've done at nasa since i got here

896
00:34:51,909 --> 00:34:49,430
it is uh one second i got so many

897
00:34:53,430 --> 00:34:51,919
pockets on this thing

898
00:34:55,589 --> 00:34:53,440
it is so cool that that's how you carry

899
00:34:57,190 --> 00:34:55,599
your water um

900
00:34:58,470 --> 00:34:57,200
it really is a privilege for me to be

901
00:35:00,829 --> 00:34:58,480
here today

902
00:35:04,470 --> 00:35:00,839
women's history month women at

903
00:35:06,470 --> 00:35:04,480
nasa science cheerleaders

904
00:35:08,069 --> 00:35:06,480
and all the inspiring women of the are

905
00:35:10,950 --> 00:35:08,079
the inspiring stories of the featured

906
00:35:12,390 --> 00:35:10,960
women and the untold stories of so many

907
00:35:13,910 --> 00:35:12,400
others

908
00:35:15,750 --> 00:35:13,920
i'm just grateful for good timing

909
00:35:18,150 --> 00:35:15,760
actually i happen to be the only female

910
00:35:19,030 --> 00:35:18,160
astronaut in town uh that just returned

911
00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:19,040
from a

912
00:35:22,870 --> 00:35:20,640
a life in space

913
00:35:24,710 --> 00:35:22,880
um you know it's it's amazing the hoops

914
00:35:26,790 --> 00:35:24,720
you have to go through to get an

915
00:35:29,030 --> 00:35:26,800
invitation to such an event but it's

916
00:35:31,510 --> 00:35:29,040
that no really it really is an honor to

917
00:35:33,670 --> 00:35:31,520
be here um and i do feel honored

918
00:35:36,150 --> 00:35:33,680
standing before not only this audience

919
00:35:37,990 --> 00:35:36,160
but amongst these incredible women

920
00:35:39,349 --> 00:35:38,000
they're inspiteful insightful and

921
00:35:41,910 --> 00:35:39,359
inspiring

922
00:35:43,430 --> 00:35:41,920
whose tenacity courage intelligence and

923
00:35:44,870 --> 00:35:43,440
strong character

924
00:35:48,230 --> 00:35:44,880
is as

925
00:35:50,790 --> 00:35:48,240
lifelike and and tangible on screen as

926
00:35:52,470 --> 00:35:50,800
i'm certain they are in person

927
00:35:53,829 --> 00:35:52,480
these women have my respect and at the

928
00:35:55,910 --> 00:35:53,839
very least they should have your full

929
00:35:58,230 --> 00:35:55,920
attention when you watch those videos

930
00:35:59,589 --> 00:35:58,240
i've i've watched them and if you're

931
00:36:01,109 --> 00:35:59,599
anything like me

932
00:36:02,870 --> 00:36:01,119
you'll catch yourself smiling with

933
00:36:05,349 --> 00:36:02,880
probably a tear in your eye as you are

934
00:36:07,670 --> 00:36:05,359
absorbed in their stories

935
00:36:09,990 --> 00:36:07,680
i know that you'll be inspired with them

936
00:36:12,230 --> 00:36:10,000
and you'll embrace their messages i hope

937
00:36:13,990 --> 00:36:12,240
and through them convince yourself that

938
00:36:16,310 --> 00:36:14,000
you too have what it takes to be a

939
00:36:17,750 --> 00:36:16,320
success just like them

940
00:36:19,270 --> 00:36:17,760
so you guys remember that those hoops i

941
00:36:20,950 --> 00:36:19,280
was telling you i had to go through to

942
00:36:22,950 --> 00:36:20,960
to get here

943
00:36:24,310 --> 00:36:22,960
to get invited to one of these things

944
00:36:26,950 --> 00:36:24,320
yeah i had to go into space and live

945
00:36:28,710 --> 00:36:26,960
there for six months

946
00:36:31,430 --> 00:36:28,720
so i brought with me just a few slides

947
00:36:33,030 --> 00:36:31,440
just to kind of recap what life was like

948
00:36:34,710 --> 00:36:33,040
up there and give you guys a little

949
00:36:36,230 --> 00:36:34,720
taste for what it's like to live in

950
00:36:38,550 --> 00:36:36,240
microgravity on board the most

951
00:36:40,870 --> 00:36:38,560
incredible magnificent vehicle ever

952
00:36:46,870 --> 00:36:40,880
built by our entire planet and that's

953
00:36:50,950 --> 00:36:48,950
that's me and my crew that uh and our

954
00:36:53,670 --> 00:36:50,960
backups that's us getting ready for

955
00:36:55,030 --> 00:36:53,680
launch my commander sasha schwarzoff

956
00:36:57,589 --> 00:36:55,040
these are going to go pretty fast so i'm

957
00:36:59,109 --> 00:36:57,599
going to try to be brief with what i say

958
00:37:01,990 --> 00:36:59,119
there's us on the launch pad getting

959
00:37:03,109 --> 00:37:02,000
ready to get into our soyuz rocket

960
00:37:06,710 --> 00:37:03,119
and there's a

961
00:37:12,150 --> 00:37:09,829
it's us launching

962
00:37:13,589 --> 00:37:12,160
that's our vehicle uh in the two days

963
00:37:15,430 --> 00:37:13,599
that it took us to get to the space

964
00:37:17,670 --> 00:37:15,440
station and that's what that beautiful

965
00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:17,680
vehicle looks like

966
00:37:23,589 --> 00:37:22,000
that's us just about before we dock

967
00:37:25,430 --> 00:37:23,599
and those are the that's the crew that's

968
00:37:30,390 --> 00:37:25,440
all of us on the earth uh

969
00:37:33,990 --> 00:37:32,790
oleg kotov tj creamer and suicinaguchi

970
00:37:37,190 --> 00:37:34,000
were the three that were on board when

971
00:37:39,190 --> 00:37:37,200
we arrived and two days after i arrived

972
00:37:42,630 --> 00:37:39,200
a space shuttle launched space space

973
00:37:45,270 --> 00:37:42,640
shuttle uh discovery with sts-131 and

974
00:37:46,630 --> 00:37:45,280
they had a number of spacewalks i helped

975
00:37:47,829 --> 00:37:46,640
prepare those guys to get out the

976
00:37:49,589 --> 00:37:47,839
airlock

977
00:37:51,990 --> 00:37:49,599
just a few shots of what it's like to be

978
00:37:55,109 --> 00:37:52,000
a spacewalker outside doing an eva we

979
00:37:56,710 --> 00:37:55,119
call it extra vehicular activity

980
00:37:57,910 --> 00:37:56,720
and there's discovery there in our empty

981
00:37:59,910 --> 00:37:57,920
payload bay with the two little

982
00:38:02,069 --> 00:37:59,920
spacewalkers inside

983
00:38:03,910 --> 00:38:02,079
there's uh all of us inside node one

984
00:38:05,430 --> 00:38:03,920
enjoying a meal and that just gives you

985
00:38:07,990 --> 00:38:05,440
a feel for

986
00:38:10,630 --> 00:38:08,000
how everybody hangs out

987
00:38:12,069 --> 00:38:10,640
that's suici there and myself

988
00:38:13,910 --> 00:38:12,079
there's the four ladies as lori

989
00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:13,920
mentioned uh first time four ladies were

990
00:38:17,109 --> 00:38:15,520
in space together

991
00:38:19,430 --> 00:38:17,119
and actually shannon walker and myself

992
00:38:20,710 --> 00:38:19,440
were the first two uh females to live on

993
00:38:24,069 --> 00:38:20,720
board together on the international

994
00:38:28,470 --> 00:38:26,870
atlantis uh i'm sorry discovery went

995
00:38:31,109 --> 00:38:28,480
home and then atlantis came shortly

996
00:38:32,870 --> 00:38:31,119
after they did there's the crew

997
00:38:35,829 --> 00:38:32,880
there's the two of my classmates tj

998
00:38:37,910 --> 00:38:35,839
creamer and ken ham

999
00:38:40,150 --> 00:38:37,920
they dropped off a russian research

1000
00:38:41,990 --> 00:38:40,160
module and then went home shortly after

1001
00:38:44,069 --> 00:38:42,000
they left then we got

1002
00:38:45,270 --> 00:38:44,079
oleg tj and suici home and brought back

1003
00:38:47,589 --> 00:38:45,280
up with them

1004
00:38:49,670 --> 00:38:47,599
wheels sorry doug wheelock shannon

1005
00:38:51,670 --> 00:38:49,680
walker and fyodor yucci and that's them

1006
00:38:53,990 --> 00:38:51,680
making their way to the space station

1007
00:38:56,470 --> 00:38:54,000
and docking to that new module that the

1008
00:38:57,430 --> 00:38:56,480
sts-132 crew bot brought up with them

1009
00:38:59,190 --> 00:38:57,440
and that's

1010
00:39:01,589 --> 00:38:59,200
them on their first day in the space

1011
00:39:04,230 --> 00:39:01,599
station here's just a few shots of

1012
00:39:06,230 --> 00:39:04,240
of life namely my life on board there's

1013
00:39:08,390 --> 00:39:06,240
doug wheelock getting into our

1014
00:39:11,430 --> 00:39:08,400
minus 80 degree freezer and shannon's

1015
00:39:13,990 --> 00:39:11,440
there shutting the door to it

1016
00:39:15,670 --> 00:39:14,000
my two crew mates sasha scorchoff and

1017
00:39:19,349 --> 00:39:15,680
michal kornienko

1018
00:39:19,359 --> 00:39:23,670
it's just me hanging out

1019
00:39:28,630 --> 00:39:26,390
it's our microgravity science glovebox

1020
00:39:29,990 --> 00:39:28,640
we do some science in there that's me uh

1021
00:39:31,750 --> 00:39:30,000
getting ready to do some maintenance on

1022
00:39:33,190 --> 00:39:31,760
our carbon dioxide removal assembly and

1023
00:39:36,150 --> 00:39:33,200
that's what it looks like once you open

1024
00:39:38,069 --> 00:39:36,160
the panel and get that monster out

1025
00:39:39,430 --> 00:39:38,079
that helps us to clean the air on board

1026
00:39:41,270 --> 00:39:39,440
the space station

1027
00:39:42,710 --> 00:39:41,280
and you're not void of chores that's me

1028
00:39:45,109 --> 00:39:42,720
vacuuming

1029
00:39:47,589 --> 00:39:45,119
on saturday did a lot of demonstrations

1030
00:39:49,510 --> 00:39:47,599
for uh for kids experiments and some

1031
00:39:50,710 --> 00:39:49,520
neurological experiments where they

1032
00:39:52,710 --> 00:39:50,720
tried to get inside my head and

1033
00:39:54,390 --> 00:39:52,720
understand how it worked

1034
00:39:55,670 --> 00:39:54,400
just uh

1035
00:39:57,990 --> 00:39:55,680
every day working on board that's the

1036
00:40:02,150 --> 00:39:58,000
fourth of july with my two u.s crewmates

1037
00:40:03,990 --> 00:40:03,030
and then

1038
00:40:04,870 --> 00:40:04,000
one of the

1039
00:40:07,990 --> 00:40:04,880
uh

1040
00:40:11,750 --> 00:40:08,000
the

1041
00:40:13,670 --> 00:40:11,760
international space station this uh this

1042
00:40:16,390 --> 00:40:13,680
pump um

1043
00:40:19,030 --> 00:40:16,400
circulates ammonia through the lines

1044
00:40:20,390 --> 00:40:19,040
that then cools down water that is used

1045
00:40:23,190 --> 00:40:20,400
to uh

1046
00:40:26,790 --> 00:40:23,200
cool down the avionics on board one of

1047
00:40:27,829 --> 00:40:26,800
our pumps failed and it

1048
00:40:29,510 --> 00:40:27,839
that whole

1049
00:40:31,670 --> 00:40:29,520
period of time took on a life of its own

1050
00:40:33,910 --> 00:40:31,680
as we went out to help repair

1051
00:40:36,069 --> 00:40:33,920
and uh actually remove and replace we

1052
00:40:37,750 --> 00:40:36,079
did three spacewalks doug and myself

1053
00:40:40,069 --> 00:40:37,760
with shannon at the

1054
00:40:41,750 --> 00:40:40,079
at the controls to get the station back

1055
00:40:43,430 --> 00:40:41,760
up and running

1056
00:40:45,990 --> 00:40:43,440
this is kind of my favorite part that's

1057
00:40:47,670 --> 00:40:46,000
the cupola our bay window and these are

1058
00:40:49,510 --> 00:40:47,680
just some of the awesome shots that you

1059
00:40:51,349 --> 00:40:49,520
see out of that

1060
00:40:53,910 --> 00:40:51,359
earth observations they're probably the

1061
00:40:55,349 --> 00:40:53,920
most fascinating

1062
00:40:57,430 --> 00:40:55,359
part of looking out that window that's

1063
00:40:59,349 --> 00:40:57,440
the bahamas and this picture doesn't

1064
00:41:01,030 --> 00:40:59,359
even do it justice there are some

1065
00:41:02,390 --> 00:41:01,040
amazing things that you see out that

1066
00:41:03,829 --> 00:41:02,400
window and no

1067
00:41:06,950 --> 00:41:03,839
no view is ever the same that's

1068
00:41:08,470 --> 00:41:06,960
unfortunately the gulf oil spill

1069
00:41:10,150 --> 00:41:08,480
you can actually see contrails of

1070
00:41:13,109 --> 00:41:10,160
airplanes and the airplanes themselves

1071
00:41:15,750 --> 00:41:13,119
as well as the wake from boats

1072
00:41:17,430 --> 00:41:15,760
moons were always extraordinary

1073
00:41:19,109 --> 00:41:17,440
and i actually thought i saw a mount

1074
00:41:21,109 --> 00:41:19,119
everest out there but the earth the

1075
00:41:23,109 --> 00:41:21,119
earth ops folks told me nope that's

1076
00:41:25,349 --> 00:41:23,119
that's not just mountains tracy

1077
00:41:27,910 --> 00:41:25,359
we also saw a lot of hurricanes during

1078
00:41:29,430 --> 00:41:27,920
the period of time i was there

1079
00:41:30,950 --> 00:41:29,440
and i could never get enough of that

1080
00:41:33,030 --> 00:41:30,960
horizon

1081
00:41:35,670 --> 00:41:33,040
it was amazing when the sun would set

1082
00:41:38,470 --> 00:41:35,680
the the glint on the uh

1083
00:41:41,109 --> 00:41:38,480
on the earth was just amazing different

1084
00:41:42,950 --> 00:41:41,119
opalescent colors of yellow and pink and

1085
00:41:45,109 --> 00:41:42,960
blue and just looking at the space

1086
00:41:47,670 --> 00:41:45,119
station itself was was

1087
00:41:49,270 --> 00:41:47,680
a very amazing thing i mean that shot

1088
00:41:51,270 --> 00:41:49,280
there you see all the robotic arms that

1089
00:41:52,950 --> 00:41:51,280
we have up there to date

1090
00:41:55,589 --> 00:41:52,960
all connected and

1091
00:41:57,190 --> 00:41:55,599
and ready to do their job it's um it's a

1092
00:41:58,550 --> 00:41:57,200
pretty exciting thing those of you

1093
00:42:00,710 --> 00:41:58,560
involved in robotics so i really

1094
00:42:02,150 --> 00:42:00,720
appreciate that

1095
00:42:03,990 --> 00:42:02,160
it's really cool just looking at the

1096
00:42:06,069 --> 00:42:04,000
vehicle and seeing the things that get

1097
00:42:08,069 --> 00:42:06,079
docked to it those uh toaster oven grids

1098
00:42:10,550 --> 00:42:08,079
look like uh there's actually the solar

1099
00:42:12,069 --> 00:42:10,560
arrays that you see in that photo there

1100
00:42:13,910 --> 00:42:12,079
reflecting off the payload bay of the

1101
00:42:15,349 --> 00:42:13,920
shuttle

1102
00:42:17,430 --> 00:42:15,359
just looking at hardware is pretty

1103
00:42:19,589 --> 00:42:17,440
fascinating up there

1104
00:42:21,270 --> 00:42:19,599
the terminator when the sun sets and it

1105
00:42:23,349 --> 00:42:21,280
casts a dark shadow on the earth it's

1106
00:42:24,630 --> 00:42:23,359
one of the most eerie things that you

1107
00:42:26,390 --> 00:42:24,640
can see up there but it's actually

1108
00:42:29,109 --> 00:42:26,400
exciting it's like a scary movie that

1109
00:42:32,470 --> 00:42:29,119
you don't want to watch but you do

1110
00:42:35,670 --> 00:42:32,480
the planet just disappears it's amazing

1111
00:42:38,230 --> 00:42:35,680
but i love looking at that moon and uh

1112
00:42:40,069 --> 00:42:38,240
you get some very very uh unique shots

1113
00:42:41,589 --> 00:42:40,079
of it from up there

1114
00:42:43,910 --> 00:42:41,599
but again i could never get enough of

1115
00:42:45,990 --> 00:42:43,920
the horizon and again these pictures are

1116
00:42:48,069 --> 00:42:46,000
are just giving you a sample of

1117
00:42:49,589 --> 00:42:48,079
of what life is like lightning it

1118
00:42:51,270 --> 00:42:49,599
actually lights up the entire space

1119
00:42:54,150 --> 00:42:51,280
station

1120
00:42:56,950 --> 00:42:54,160
aurora barely out borealis is it's it's

1121
00:43:00,150 --> 00:42:56,960
light that dances it's it's just

1122
00:43:02,790 --> 00:43:01,670
and it does glow green like that it's

1123
00:43:05,030 --> 00:43:02,800
amazing

1124
00:43:07,430 --> 00:43:05,040
when the sun sets you know the earth is

1125
00:43:09,270 --> 00:43:07,440
still a very uh

1126
00:43:10,630 --> 00:43:09,280
intriguing place with all of its city

1127
00:43:12,550 --> 00:43:10,640
lights and

1128
00:43:14,950 --> 00:43:12,560
and the places you call home it believe

1129
00:43:16,630 --> 00:43:14,960
it or not the the the world is mostly

1130
00:43:19,670 --> 00:43:16,640
water because when you do actually land

1131
00:43:21,589 --> 00:43:19,680
over fly over the land it's uh very rare

1132
00:43:23,270 --> 00:43:21,599
that you see lights

1133
00:43:25,109 --> 00:43:23,280
mesospheric clouds are things you only

1134
00:43:26,790 --> 00:43:25,119
see when the sun sets and they're very

1135
00:43:29,190 --> 00:43:26,800
hard to

1136
00:43:31,190 --> 00:43:29,200
to take photos of

1137
00:43:32,309 --> 00:43:31,200
all good things i guess come to an end

1138
00:43:34,870 --> 00:43:32,319
but

1139
00:43:36,150 --> 00:43:34,880
this one was quite tearful for us as we

1140
00:43:40,470 --> 00:43:36,160
pulled away

1141
00:43:45,190 --> 00:43:43,190
on the surface of the earth it's a

1142
00:43:47,750 --> 00:43:45,200
bit of a stiff landing compared to a

1143
00:43:49,990 --> 00:43:47,760
shuttle that's for sure

1144
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:50,000
and that's us

1145
00:43:54,230 --> 00:43:52,800
enjoying our little furry chairs

1146
00:43:55,750 --> 00:43:54,240
talking to my husband on a satellite

1147
00:43:57,829 --> 00:43:55,760
phone who has deployed it on a ship at

1148
00:44:00,950 --> 00:43:57,839
the same time

1149
00:44:02,950 --> 00:44:00,960
that's my favorite path time

1150
00:44:16,309 --> 00:44:02,960
and that right there is the culmination

1151
00:44:21,349 --> 00:44:18,630
thank you thank you but um honestly uh

1152
00:44:23,670 --> 00:44:21,359
that life that i led up there was uh was

1153
00:44:25,349 --> 00:44:23,680
not my doing it was the the doing of all

1154
00:44:27,670 --> 00:44:25,359
of those what was it that number you

1155
00:44:29,270 --> 00:44:27,680
gave eighteen thousand

1156
00:44:31,589 --> 00:44:29,280
civil studies

1157
00:44:34,150 --> 00:44:31,599
all those people that put this space

1158
00:44:36,390 --> 00:44:34,160
program together it you you see the

1159
00:44:38,790 --> 00:44:36,400
astronauts most often but

women and you'll see you'll see what

1163
00:44:46,630 --> 00:44:44,240
makes nasa so great it's not just the

1164
00:44:47,750 --> 00:44:46,640
people who fly in space okay

1165
00:44:49,190 --> 00:44:47,760

1172
00:44:59,430 --> 00:44:58,000

1176
00:45:07,910 --> 00:45:05,839
you and you're at your best

1177
00:45:10,230 --> 00:45:07,920
when what you do makes you happy

1178
00:45:11,829 --> 00:45:10,240
just like my video there

1179
00:45:13,349 --> 00:45:11,839
so know yourself

1180
00:45:15,270 --> 00:45:13,359
and take stock in the things that you

1181
00:45:18,390 --> 00:45:15,280
enjoy doing

1182
00:45:21,030 --> 00:45:18,400
pay attention to what fuels you what

1183
00:45:24,230 --> 00:45:21,040
gets your attention

1184
00:45:25,750 --> 00:45:24,240
what would get you out of bed early

1185
00:45:27,910 --> 00:45:25,760
what is it that you're doing that causes

1186
00:45:31,030 --> 00:45:27,920
you to totally forget and not even care

1187
00:45:35,430 --> 00:45:32,630
what is it that you pick up that you

1188
00:45:37,030 --> 00:45:35,440
can't put down

1189
00:45:39,349 --> 00:45:37,040
what are you doing when what matters to

1190
00:45:42,150 --> 00:45:39,359
you the most is doing it right and not

1191
00:45:43,510 --> 00:45:42,160
getting it over with

1192
00:45:45,589 --> 00:45:43,520
what's taking root in the back of your

1193
00:45:47,109 --> 00:45:45,599
mind right now

1194
00:45:48,950 --> 00:45:47,119
and what is it that you're itching to

1195
00:45:51,430 --> 00:45:48,960
try but you're wondering how in the

1196
00:45:52,710 --> 00:45:51,440
world am i going to do it

1197
00:45:55,430 --> 00:45:52,720
throughout your life i hope you take

1198
00:45:57,270 --> 00:45:55,440
note of these things

1199
00:45:58,790 --> 00:45:57,280
all that you do influences what you

1200
00:46:00,150 --> 00:45:58,800
become

1201
00:46:02,309 --> 00:46:00,160
you never know what you'll be down the

1202
00:46:04,550 --> 00:46:02,319
road and when and where those influences

1203
00:46:06,630 --> 00:46:04,560
are going to come into play

1204
00:46:08,390 --> 00:46:06,640
my father was an electrician

1205
00:46:09,829 --> 00:46:08,400
i started going on job sites with him at

1206
00:46:11,750 --> 00:46:09,839
a very young age

1207
00:46:13,030 --> 00:46:11,760
my mom needed a babysitter so i think i

1208
00:46:14,790 --> 00:46:13,040
was about two years old when i started

1209
00:46:16,309 --> 00:46:14,800
to go to work with dad

1210
00:46:17,910 --> 00:46:16,319
when i was five he started his own

1211
00:46:19,270 --> 00:46:17,920
commercial electrical contracting

1212
00:46:20,470 --> 00:46:19,280
company

1213
00:46:22,630 --> 00:46:20,480
and when i was

1214
00:46:24,470 --> 00:46:22,640
seven i got my first paycheck

1215
00:46:26,870 --> 00:46:24,480
back then minimum wage was about five

1216
00:46:29,349 --> 00:46:26,880
donuts from winchell's

1217
00:46:31,750 --> 00:46:29,359
i was 10 when i got my first tool belt i

1218
00:46:34,230 --> 00:46:31,760
was 15 when i wired up my first sub

1219
00:46:36,309 --> 00:46:34,240
panel with relays and i was 19 when my

1220
00:46:37,829 --> 00:46:36,319
dad sent me on my first service call

1221
00:46:39,510 --> 00:46:37,839
alone

1222
00:46:41,670 --> 00:46:39,520
i worked for my father on weekends

1223
00:46:43,750 --> 00:46:41,680
nights and on every school break until i

1224
00:46:45,829 --> 00:46:43,760
was 25 years old and my father retired

1225
00:46:47,510 --> 00:46:45,839
his company

1226
00:46:49,190 --> 00:46:47,520
it wasn't the most glamorous life being

1227
00:46:50,950 --> 00:46:49,200
an electrician

1228
00:46:53,670 --> 00:46:50,960
every day was a long day

1229
00:46:55,910 --> 00:46:53,680
getting up at 3 a.m to beat the traffic

1230
00:46:58,630 --> 00:46:55,920
driving 70 to 100 miles sometimes just

1231
00:47:01,190 --> 00:46:58,640
to get to a job site you put in a hard

1232
00:47:03,190 --> 00:47:01,200
long day and then you'd get back in the

1233
00:47:04,230 --> 00:47:03,200
truck and merge with traffic to come

1234
00:47:06,069 --> 00:47:04,240
home

1235
00:47:08,470 --> 00:47:06,079
when i was 16 and i started driving the

1236
00:47:10,309 --> 00:47:08,480
work truck and picking up the guys

1237
00:47:12,150 --> 00:47:10,319
then i would sit into the la traffic for

1238
00:47:13,109 --> 00:47:12,160
70 to 100 miles just to get to the job

1239
00:47:17,030 --> 00:47:13,119
site

1240
00:47:19,589 --> 00:47:17,040
today but back then there was rarely a

1241
00:47:20,630 --> 00:47:19,599
porta potty and if there was there was

1242
00:47:22,470 --> 00:47:20,640
only one

1243
00:47:25,430 --> 00:47:22,480
it wasn't marked for women

1244
00:47:26,870 --> 00:47:25,440
and it wasn't very inviting

1245
00:47:28,870 --> 00:47:26,880
most of the guys from the other trades

1246
00:47:30,710 --> 00:47:28,880
knew who i was i was known as jc's

1247
00:47:32,630 --> 00:47:30,720
daughter tc

1248
00:47:34,630 --> 00:47:32,640
and they knew to leave me alone and just

1249
00:47:36,069 --> 00:47:34,640
let me work for the most part

1250
00:47:37,990 --> 00:47:36,079
sometimes i got a lot more attention

1251
00:47:40,390 --> 00:47:38,000
than i wanted or i deserved and it

1252
00:47:42,549 --> 00:47:40,400
wasn't always flattering helpful cordial

1253
00:47:44,390 --> 00:47:42,559
or even appropriate

1254
00:47:45,990 --> 00:47:44,400
i was worn out and filthy after every

1255
00:47:47,430 --> 00:47:46,000
day on the job

1256
00:47:48,470 --> 00:47:47,440
and heading back to school at the end of

1257
00:47:50,950 --> 00:47:48,480
summer

1258
00:47:52,710 --> 00:47:50,960
i had pale skin weathered hands sliced

1259
00:47:54,069 --> 00:47:52,720
fingers broken nails

1260
00:47:56,710 --> 00:47:54,079
i was

1261
00:47:58,950 --> 00:47:56,720
had bruises all over from head to toe

1262
00:48:01,270 --> 00:47:58,960
and heading into class i looked nothing

1263
00:48:03,270 --> 00:48:01,280
like the other girls at school

1264
00:48:05,270 --> 00:48:03,280
construction's a tough business

1265
00:48:07,349 --> 00:48:05,280
the job is tiring the hours are long and

1266
00:48:08,870 --> 00:48:07,359
good workers are hard to find

1267
00:48:10,390 --> 00:48:08,880
i was my father's most loyal and

1268
00:48:12,870 --> 00:48:10,400
reliable employee and yet when the

1269
00:48:14,630 --> 00:48:12,880
minimum wage went from donuts to cash i

1270
00:48:16,390 --> 00:48:14,640
was usually the last one to get paid if

1271
00:48:18,390 --> 00:48:16,400
i got paid at all

1272
00:48:20,470 --> 00:48:18,400
i would have worked for my dad for free

1273
00:48:23,030 --> 00:48:20,480
i think all of you would too right to

1274
00:48:24,870 --> 00:48:23,040
mom and dad you love them

1275
00:48:26,710 --> 00:48:24,880
my dad didn't make me work for him he

1276
00:48:28,470 --> 00:48:26,720
didn't make me feel guilty my sister

1277
00:48:30,150 --> 00:48:28,480
didn't work for him

1278
00:48:31,990 --> 00:48:30,160
he gave me a choice

1279
00:48:33,589 --> 00:48:32,000
you know what

1280
00:48:36,069 --> 00:48:33,599
i liked it

1281
00:48:37,510 --> 00:48:36,079
i liked working with tools

1282
00:48:40,470 --> 00:48:37,520
i discovered

1283
00:48:41,829 --> 00:48:40,480
that i liked fixing things

1284
00:48:44,150 --> 00:48:41,839
i loved it when dad came back from the

1285
00:48:45,829 --> 00:48:44,160
supply house and he had a new tool he'd

1286
00:48:48,230 --> 00:48:45,839
say it was to make our life easier but

1287
00:48:49,910 --> 00:48:48,240
we knew it was just an excuse he'd

1288
00:48:51,030 --> 00:48:49,920
figure it out and then he'd show me how

1289
00:48:52,870 --> 00:48:51,040
to use it

1290
00:48:54,470 --> 00:48:52,880
we used to remodel retail stores and

1291
00:48:56,069 --> 00:48:54,480
offices it was the best thing ever to go

1292
00:48:57,510 --> 00:48:56,079
in and demolish the place and then build

1293
00:48:59,510 --> 00:48:57,520
it right back up

1294
00:49:01,190 --> 00:48:59,520
i loved crawling in ceilings hauling the

1295
00:49:03,349 --> 00:49:01,200
ladders pulling the wire making up the j

1296
00:49:05,109 --> 00:49:03,359
boxes bending the pipe calculating the

1297
00:49:06,470 --> 00:49:05,119
circuits and eating the lunch that mom

1298
00:49:08,390 --> 00:49:06,480
packed

1299
00:49:10,309 --> 00:49:08,400
dad had this fantastic knack for solving

1300
00:49:12,309 --> 00:49:10,319
problems and whenever we got into a snag

1301
00:49:14,630 --> 00:49:12,319
he'd figure out a way to solve it

1302
00:49:16,790 --> 00:49:14,640
i watched my dad for a number of years

1303
00:49:19,109 --> 00:49:16,800
how he worked how he used tools

1304
00:49:20,630 --> 00:49:19,119
how he approached problems

1305
00:49:22,630 --> 00:49:20,640
with all those years of experience and

1306
00:49:23,990 --> 00:49:22,640
everything my father had taught me i had

1307
00:49:26,069 --> 00:49:24,000
achieved journeyman status as an

1308
00:49:27,430 --> 00:49:26,079
electrician it was rather funny that

1309
00:49:29,670 --> 00:49:27,440
when it came time for me to begin my

1310
00:49:31,430 --> 00:49:29,680
undergraduate research in chemistry that

1311
00:49:32,710 --> 00:49:31,440
the new professor on faculty actually

1312
00:49:34,870 --> 00:49:32,720
recruited me

1313
00:49:37,030 --> 00:49:34,880
to be in his group not for my talents in

1314
00:49:38,870 --> 00:49:37,040
chemistry but for my simple skills in

1315
00:49:40,790 --> 00:49:38,880
construction

1316
00:49:42,870 --> 00:49:40,800
i installed lights and outlets designed

1317
00:49:44,390 --> 00:49:42,880
circuit boards i spent more time

1318
00:49:45,750 --> 00:49:44,400
with a wrench in my hand assembling

1319
00:49:47,430 --> 00:49:45,760
equipment than i ever did holding a

1320
00:49:49,430 --> 00:49:47,440
beaker and mixing chemicals which is not

1321
00:49:51,910 --> 00:49:49,440
at all what i pictured my life as a

1322
00:49:54,069 --> 00:49:51,920
researcher in a chemistry lab to be like

1323
00:49:55,670 --> 00:49:54,079
after all that the lab was functional i

1324
00:49:57,270 --> 00:49:55,680
had a front row seat my professor's

1325
00:49:59,030 --> 00:49:57,280
undivided attention is he taught me

1326
00:50:01,190 --> 00:49:59,040
everything he could with the time i had

1327
00:50:03,030 --> 00:50:01,200
left how lasers were used to study

1328
00:50:04,470 --> 00:50:03,040
molecules

1329
00:50:06,870 --> 00:50:04,480
since then and every step of the way of

1330
00:50:08,950 --> 00:50:06,880
my path of becoming an astronaut i found

1331
00:50:10,470 --> 00:50:08,960
myself and others benefiting from the

1332
00:50:12,790 --> 00:50:10,480
skills i learned simply by doing

1333
00:50:13,750 --> 00:50:12,800
something that i loved and was natural

1334
00:50:15,349 --> 00:50:13,760
to me

1335
00:50:17,430 --> 00:50:15,359
i was completely clueless though to the

1336
00:50:18,790 --> 00:50:17,440
impact that it would have on my life

1337
00:50:20,390 --> 00:50:18,800
looking back on it i think god was

1338
00:50:22,630 --> 00:50:20,400
preparing me all along to live on board

1339
00:50:25,670 --> 00:50:22,640
the international space station

1340
00:50:27,109 --> 00:50:25,680
where things often break they get lost

1341
00:50:27,829 --> 00:50:27,119
and they don't always work out the way

1342
00:50:29,109 --> 00:50:27,839
that

1343
00:50:30,470 --> 00:50:29,119
they were planned

1344
00:50:31,910 --> 00:50:30,480
and sometimes

1345
00:50:33,270 --> 00:50:31,920
you're one of the only people on board

1346
00:50:34,710 --> 00:50:33,280
that can fix it

1347
00:50:35,910 --> 00:50:34,720
like i said you never know what's down

1348
00:50:37,750 --> 00:50:35,920
the road

1349
00:50:39,109 --> 00:50:37,760
there'll be a lot of great moments down

1350
00:50:40,630 --> 00:50:39,119
the road for you

1351
00:50:42,950 --> 00:50:40,640
especially if you

1352
00:50:44,950 --> 00:50:42,960
take to work take to heart the words of

1353
00:50:46,309 --> 00:50:44,960
advice that you hear from these women at

1354
00:50:47,990 --> 00:50:46,319
nasa

1355
00:50:50,390 --> 00:50:48,000
remember what i said about their strong

1356
00:50:52,549 --> 00:50:50,400
character

1357
00:50:55,589 --> 00:50:52,559
do you know what i mean by that

1358
00:50:56,870 --> 00:50:55,599
strong character

1359
00:50:58,230 --> 00:50:56,880
amidst all their hopes and their

1360
00:50:59,589 --> 00:50:58,240
inspirations

1361
00:51:01,510 --> 00:50:59,599
you'll notice that these women became

1362
00:51:02,950 --> 00:51:01,520
bold in their struggles

1363
00:51:05,109 --> 00:51:02,960
and it was the challenges that they had

1364
00:51:07,109 --> 00:51:05,119
to overcome not necessarily the

1365
00:51:09,109 --> 00:51:07,119
victories that they won

1366
00:51:12,069 --> 00:51:09,119
that refined their spirit

1367
00:51:13,190 --> 00:51:12,079
and it defined their character

1368
00:51:15,270 --> 00:51:13,200
now here's what you guys are going to

1369
00:51:16,710 --> 00:51:15,280
face as you grow up

1370
00:51:19,589 --> 00:51:16,720
imagine that there's something that you

1371
00:51:21,190 --> 00:51:19,599
want to do that's out there

1372
00:51:22,470 --> 00:51:21,200
but there's this wall right in front of

1373
00:51:23,829 --> 00:51:22,480
you

1374
00:51:28,790 --> 00:51:23,839
there's fear

1375
00:51:30,470 --> 00:51:28,800
fail before you get there

1376
00:51:33,990 --> 00:51:30,480
there's doubt

1377
00:51:34,829 --> 00:51:34,000
get there

1378
00:51:36,870 --> 00:51:34,839
there's

1379
00:51:38,230 --> 00:51:36,880
discouragement that's when he hit the

1380
00:51:40,470 --> 00:51:38,240
wall

1381
00:51:42,309 --> 00:51:40,480
there's obstacles that's you figuring

1382
00:51:44,950 --> 00:51:42,319
out the wall

1383
00:51:46,150 --> 00:51:44,960
there's trials that's you overcoming the

1384
00:51:48,630 --> 00:51:46,160
wall

1385
00:51:51,190 --> 00:51:48,640
there's threats to your confidence

1386
00:51:53,030 --> 00:51:51,200
that's falling off the wall

1387
00:51:54,790 --> 00:51:53,040
there's criticism

1388
00:51:56,150 --> 00:51:54,800
that's you being judged by others about

1389
00:51:58,390 --> 00:51:56,160
things that are sometimes not even

1390
00:52:00,069 --> 00:51:58,400
related to the wall

1391
00:52:01,910 --> 00:52:00,079
and there's failure

1392
00:52:04,950 --> 00:52:01,920
that's when you find a different way to

1393
00:52:06,870 --> 00:52:04,960
pass over the wall there's hesitation

1394
00:52:09,030 --> 00:52:06,880
that's you holding back

1395
00:52:10,390 --> 00:52:09,040
from conquering the wall

1396
00:52:12,870 --> 00:52:10,400
and of course there's perceptions like

1397
00:52:14,710 --> 00:52:12,880
well no one else is doing it

1398
00:52:17,190 --> 00:52:14,720
that's you waiting for others to confirm

1399
00:52:18,549 --> 00:52:17,200
for you that what you're doing is right

1400
00:52:20,870 --> 00:52:18,559
when all you need is a belief in

1401
00:52:23,190 --> 00:52:20,880
yourself

1402
00:52:24,309 --> 00:52:23,200
so how do you overcome it how do you how

1403
00:52:25,349 --> 00:52:24,319
do you overcome it when you hit that

1404
00:52:26,790 --> 00:52:25,359
wall

1405
00:52:30,309 --> 00:52:26,800
you do what you like and you like what

1406
00:52:31,910 --> 00:52:30,319
you do that's a slogan somewhere

1407
00:52:33,750 --> 00:52:31,920
i think you'll find that to be the one

1408
00:52:35,349 --> 00:52:33,760
thing that resonates inside of truly

1409
00:52:37,270 --> 00:52:35,359
successful people and you might have a

1410
00:52:39,510 --> 00:52:37,280
different measure of success

1411
00:52:40,950 --> 00:52:39,520
but honest people haven't have who have

1412
00:52:43,109 --> 00:52:40,960
experienced it

1413
00:52:44,549 --> 00:52:43,119
have the sweet sensation

1414
00:52:46,390 --> 00:52:44,559
and they describe it as a sense of joy

1415
00:52:49,190 --> 00:52:46,400
and fulfillment in their heart

1416
00:52:50,549 --> 00:52:49,200
that sounds pretty good doesn't it

1417
00:52:52,950 --> 00:52:50,559
i grew up in the deserts of southern

1418
00:52:54,790 --> 00:52:52,960
california riding dirt bikes i was nine

1419
00:52:57,430 --> 00:52:54,800
when mom and dad got me my first

1420
00:52:59,589 --> 00:52:57,440
motorcycle it was a honda xr80

1421
00:53:01,109 --> 00:52:59,599
does anyone here ride those things

1422
00:53:02,390 --> 00:53:01,119
yeah right

1423
00:53:04,230 --> 00:53:02,400
you spent a lot of time in the beginning

1424
00:53:06,069 --> 00:53:04,240
falling off of them don't you

1425
00:53:07,430 --> 00:53:06,079
at least i did

1426
00:53:09,270 --> 00:53:07,440
anyway i mean well when you're decked

1427
00:53:10,870 --> 00:53:09,280
out in boots and leathers and a padded

1428
00:53:13,670 --> 00:53:10,880
shirt and you got gloves and helmet i

1429
00:53:16,230 --> 00:53:13,680
mean you're all geared up to fall right

1430
00:53:18,150 --> 00:53:16,240
well mom uh mom took that as uh medical

1431
00:53:19,510 --> 00:53:18,160
insurance and and to me all that gear

1432
00:53:21,430 --> 00:53:19,520
just was an invitation to climb the

1433
00:53:24,069 --> 00:53:21,440
tallest hill that i could

1434
00:53:25,750 --> 00:53:24,079
i felt invincible and power powerful and

1435
00:53:27,030 --> 00:53:25,760
and quite mammoth on my little red bike

1436
00:53:28,950 --> 00:53:27,040
and i don't think i was even four feet

1437
00:53:30,630 --> 00:53:28,960
tall back then

1438
00:53:32,230 --> 00:53:30,640
i'd come to what seemed to me is a

1439
00:53:35,430 --> 00:53:32,240
massive hill so tall that i couldn't

1440
00:53:37,109 --> 00:53:35,440
even see anything but the sky above it

1441
00:53:38,470 --> 00:53:37,119
i don't know what it is about infinity

1442
00:53:40,630 --> 00:53:38,480
for me but

1443
00:53:42,710 --> 00:53:40,640
just like the horizon and those pictures

1444
00:53:43,910 --> 00:53:42,720
you saw that's bathing in the in the

1445
00:53:46,390 --> 00:53:43,920
ocean

1446
00:53:48,630 --> 00:53:46,400
or the stars when they're fixed deep in

1447
00:53:50,790 --> 00:53:48,640
the blackness of space

1448
00:53:52,790 --> 00:53:50,800
i find myself captivated with my heart

1449
00:53:54,870 --> 00:53:52,800
pounding and i'm nearly breathless as i

1450
00:53:56,790 --> 00:53:54,880
try to reach out there

1451
00:53:57,750 --> 00:53:56,800
with my eyes and my thoughts and touch

1452
00:54:01,510 --> 00:53:57,760
it

1453
00:54:03,109 --> 00:54:01,520
i don't know

1454
00:54:04,549 --> 00:54:03,119
when i stood there though what was

1455
00:54:05,829 --> 00:54:04,559
between me and that summit was nothing

1456
00:54:08,069 --> 00:54:05,839
short of mother nature's bad

1457
00:54:09,829 --> 00:54:08,079
housekeeping there were ruts in the in

1458
00:54:10,950 --> 00:54:09,839
the in the trail there was soft sand at

1459
00:54:12,549 --> 00:54:10,960
the base

1460
00:54:13,990 --> 00:54:12,559
there was boulders outcropping

1461
00:54:16,230 --> 00:54:14,000
everywhere tight curves and deep

1462
00:54:18,390 --> 00:54:16,240
crevices paralleling the very path i

1463
00:54:19,670 --> 00:54:18,400
envisioned myself taking to the top

1464
00:54:22,150 --> 00:54:19,680
oh yeah and don't forget there's that

1465
00:54:23,510 --> 00:54:22,160
thorny bush right there at the peak

1466
00:54:25,349 --> 00:54:23,520
i usually couldn't tell either where the

1467
00:54:26,950 --> 00:54:25,359
trail went at the top for all i knew

1468
00:54:28,309 --> 00:54:26,960
sitting there with my engine eileen i

1469
00:54:30,470 --> 00:54:28,319
could be headed for a cliff and have to

1470
00:54:33,030 --> 00:54:30,480
swerve quickly to avoid falling into the

1471
00:54:34,630 --> 00:54:33,040
abyss and taking my beloved bike with me

1472
00:54:37,109 --> 00:54:34,640
if mom was there she'd be watching me

1473
00:54:39,030 --> 00:54:37,119
like this

1474
00:54:39,990 --> 00:54:39,040
anyway the hills uh were tough and i

1475
00:54:41,349 --> 00:54:40,000
knew it was going to take a lot of

1476
00:54:43,109 --> 00:54:41,359
energy and focus and all the strength

1477
00:54:44,549 --> 00:54:43,119
and attention and agility that i had to

1478
00:54:45,829 --> 00:54:44,559
make it around those obstacles to where

1479
00:54:48,549 --> 00:54:45,839
i wanted to go

1480
00:54:49,910 --> 00:54:48,559
and that was on top of that mountain

1481
00:54:51,990 --> 00:54:49,920
young ladies i hope that you'll believe

1482
00:54:53,910 --> 00:54:52,000
me when i say this that when you find

1483
00:54:56,789 --> 00:54:53,920
that thing in life that you want to do

1484
00:54:58,069 --> 00:54:56,799
and that wall gets in front of you

1485
00:54:59,910 --> 00:54:58,079
that you're going to keep your heart at

1486
00:55:01,670 --> 00:54:59,920
the top of that hill

1487
00:55:03,670 --> 00:55:01,680
okay

1488
00:55:05,109 --> 00:55:03,680
i want to see some heads nod

1489
00:55:07,030 --> 00:55:05,119
okay

1490
00:55:09,190 --> 00:55:07,040
i was 27 years old when i was selected

1491
00:55:11,109 --> 00:55:09,200
by nasa to be an astronaut and i had

1492
00:55:12,870 --> 00:55:11,119
just turned 28 when i showed up for my

1493
00:55:14,470 --> 00:55:12,880
first day on the job

1494
00:55:17,349 --> 00:55:14,480
there i was on top of that monstrous

1495
00:55:19,190 --> 00:55:17,359
hill i just climbed i was an astronaut

1496
00:55:21,109 --> 00:55:19,200
but i wasn't at the summit yet

1497
00:55:22,870 --> 00:55:21,119
i came there to fly in space and i had a

1498
00:55:25,430 --> 00:55:22,880
long way to go still

1499
00:55:27,030 --> 00:55:25,440
i had my heart set on doing an eva i

1500
00:55:28,950 --> 00:55:27,040
mean after all what's a space walker but

1501
00:55:31,109 --> 00:55:28,960
a construction worker in a pressurized

1502
00:55:32,230 --> 00:55:31,119
suit working 220 miles above the surface

1503
00:55:33,750 --> 00:55:32,240
of the earth

1504
00:55:36,630 --> 00:55:33,760
doing construction

1505
00:55:38,230 --> 00:55:36,640
at mach 25 in the vacuum of space i mean

1506
00:55:40,150 --> 00:55:38,240
i felt like i was born to do that come

1507
00:55:43,589 --> 00:55:40,160
on

1508
00:55:45,589 --> 00:55:43,599
pressurized suit is perhaps the hardest

1509
00:55:47,990 --> 00:55:45,599
part about training for a spacewalk

1510
00:55:49,670 --> 00:55:48,000
especially for someone slender like me

1511
00:55:51,430 --> 00:55:49,680
it takes years of training to become

1512
00:55:53,510 --> 00:55:51,440
qualified for an eva and it's not always

1513
00:55:55,190 --> 00:55:53,520
a given that you're going to do one

1514
00:55:56,390 --> 00:55:55,200
though i was so grateful for my first

1515
00:55:57,829 --> 00:55:56,400
space flight

1516
00:55:59,430 --> 00:55:57,839
i'll shamefully admit that i was

1517
00:56:02,150 --> 00:55:59,440
heartbroken when i didn't get selected

1518
00:56:03,670 --> 00:56:02,160
to do an ava on my first flight i don't

1519
00:56:05,589 --> 00:56:03,680
think i ever worked harder for anything

1520
00:56:06,870 --> 00:56:05,599
in all my life like i did to be a

1521
00:56:08,390 --> 00:56:06,880
spacewalker

1522
00:56:10,549 --> 00:56:08,400
and that's saying a lot because i worked

1523
00:56:11,750 --> 00:56:10,559
hard my whole life

1524
00:56:13,349 --> 00:56:11,760
remember that wall i was telling you

1525
00:56:14,870 --> 00:56:13,359
about

1526
00:56:16,470 --> 00:56:14,880
well i was told early in my career that

1527
00:56:17,910 --> 00:56:16,480
if i got to do an eva

1528
00:56:20,069 --> 00:56:17,920
i would never do a complicated

1529
00:56:22,390 --> 00:56:20,079
time-critical spacewalk

1530
00:56:23,270 --> 00:56:22,400
certainly not one that was unplanned

1531
00:56:25,190 --> 00:56:23,280
you could say i was a little

1532
00:56:26,630 --> 00:56:25,200
disappointed by that

1533
00:56:28,789 --> 00:56:26,640
you know that period in my life was much

1534
00:56:31,670 --> 00:56:28,799
like that hill i faced on my motorcycle

1535
00:56:33,750 --> 00:56:31,680
ruts crevices and boulders and all

1536
00:56:35,109 --> 00:56:33,760
who put those things there

1537
00:56:36,710 --> 00:56:35,119
why couldn't i move that wall and get

1538
00:56:38,390 --> 00:56:36,720
what i wanted

1539
00:56:39,510 --> 00:56:38,400
it wasn't for lack of effort or hard

1540
00:56:42,150 --> 00:56:39,520
work

1541
00:56:43,670 --> 00:56:42,160
i wanted to do an eva so badly

1542
00:56:44,789 --> 00:56:43,680
but i could not see a clear way to get

1543
00:56:47,030 --> 00:56:44,799
there

1544
00:56:48,309 --> 00:56:47,040
it was like having your desires

1545
00:56:49,670 --> 00:56:48,319
have a head-on collision with

1546
00:56:52,230 --> 00:56:49,680
uncertainty

1547
00:56:53,910 --> 00:56:52,240
nothing about it was in my control

1548
00:56:56,549 --> 00:56:53,920
mom sent me a bible verse it was second

1549
00:56:58,870 --> 00:56:56,559
chronicles chapter 20 verse 15. don't be

1550
00:57:00,470 --> 00:56:58,880
afraid and discouraged the battle is not

1551
00:57:02,069 --> 00:57:00,480
yours but god's

1552
00:57:04,069 --> 00:57:02,079
does anybody here know that serenity

1553
00:57:05,829 --> 00:57:04,079
prayer

1554
00:57:08,150 --> 00:57:05,839
you probably heard it god grant me the

1555
00:57:10,069 --> 00:57:08,160
grace to accept with serenity the things

1556
00:57:12,309 --> 00:57:10,079
that i cannot change

1557
00:57:13,510 --> 00:57:12,319
the courage to change the things that i

1558
00:57:15,190 --> 00:57:13,520
can

1559
00:57:16,630 --> 00:57:15,200
and that precious wisdom to know the

1560
00:57:19,430 --> 00:57:16,640
difference

1561
00:57:21,589 --> 00:57:19,440
in a little little red book of wisdom by

1562
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:21,599
mark demas he writes when i finally

1563
00:57:24,950 --> 00:57:23,200
learned to relinquish

1564
00:57:26,789 --> 00:57:24,960
personal control

1565
00:57:27,990 --> 00:57:26,799
a responsibility for everything beyond

1566
00:57:29,670 --> 00:57:28,000
my control

1567
00:57:30,789 --> 00:57:29,680
the ship of my emotions entered calm

1568
00:57:32,549 --> 00:57:30,799
waters

1569
00:57:34,390 --> 00:57:32,559
and my husband reminds me of a japanese

1570
00:57:36,710 --> 00:57:34,400
proverb that says if you fall down seven

1571
00:57:38,150 --> 00:57:36,720
times you get up eight

1572
00:57:39,430 --> 00:57:38,160
when it came to doing a space walk i

1573
00:57:41,430 --> 00:57:39,440
realized there was nothing more i could

1574
00:57:43,510 --> 00:57:41,440
do that i didn't already do

1575
00:57:45,270 --> 00:57:43,520
and the rest was in god's hands so i

1576
00:57:47,190 --> 00:57:45,280
waited for his timing

1577
00:57:49,510 --> 00:57:47,200
and by the grace of god through a

1578
00:57:51,349 --> 00:57:49,520
serendipitous critical failure of our

1579
00:57:53,030 --> 00:57:51,359
external thermal control system lupe

1580
00:57:54,630 --> 00:57:53,040
ammonia pump module the first and

1581
00:57:56,549 --> 00:57:54,640
largest failure in the onboard history

1582
00:57:58,230 --> 00:57:56,559
of our international space station

1583
00:58:00,549 --> 00:57:58,240
taking with at half our station's power

1584
00:58:02,230 --> 00:58:00,559
and setting us up for a bad situation if

1585
00:58:04,630 --> 00:58:02,240
we lost our second remaining ammonia

1586
00:58:06,390 --> 00:58:04,640
pump a system involving the largest

1587
00:58:08,069 --> 00:58:06,400
fluid lines and quick desk in exxon

1588
00:58:09,510 --> 00:58:08,079
station containing the most toxic

1589
00:58:11,910 --> 00:58:09,520
substance on board

1590
00:58:14,069 --> 00:58:11,920
i got not only a complicated time

1591
00:58:15,829 --> 00:58:14,079
critical unplanned spacewalk that lasted

1592
00:58:17,990 --> 00:58:15,839
over eight hours

1593
00:58:19,190 --> 00:58:18,000
i got three of them

1594
00:58:21,430 --> 00:58:19,200
so remember

1595
00:58:24,470 --> 00:58:21,440
some things are out of your control

1596
00:58:27,670 --> 00:58:24,480
that's not always a bad thing

1597
00:58:29,829 --> 00:58:27,680
you guys are your best at being you

1598
00:58:32,150 --> 00:58:29,839
and you're at your best when what you do

1599
00:58:33,910 --> 00:58:32,160
makes you happy

1600
00:58:36,630 --> 00:58:33,920
learn about yourself

1601
00:58:38,470 --> 00:58:36,640
discover what motivates you you never

1602
00:58:40,710 --> 00:58:38,480
know what's down the road

1603
00:58:42,150 --> 00:58:40,720
you'll hit a few walls on the way

1604
00:58:43,109 --> 00:58:42,160
just keep your heart at the top of that

1605
00:58:44,309 --> 00:58:43,119
hill

1606
00:58:46,549 --> 00:58:44,319
and remember

1607
00:58:49,430 --> 00:58:46,559
some things are beyond your control

1608
00:58:51,430 --> 00:58:49,440
and that can bring about good things

1609
00:59:04,390 --> 00:58:51,440
godspeed ladies and thank you for your

1610
00:59:10,390 --> 00:59:06,710
tracy thank you so much that was truly

1611
00:59:13,670 --> 00:59:10,400
inspirational really appreciate that

1612
00:59:16,390 --> 00:59:13,680
we do have uh uh some questions uh from

1613
00:59:20,390 --> 00:59:16,400
our audience today and so i'd like to

1614
00:59:32,549 --> 00:59:20,400
invite uh let's see we have anna t

1615
00:59:36,710 --> 00:59:35,030
my name is anna t i go to i'm an eighth

1616
00:59:38,710 --> 00:59:36,720
grader at longfellow middle school i'm

1617
00:59:41,589 --> 00:59:38,720
with the jam doctors robotics team and

1618
00:59:43,109 --> 00:59:41,599
my question is for lori garver

1619
00:59:44,710 --> 00:59:43,119
i know that you recently spoke at the

1620
00:59:47,030 --> 00:59:44,720
international space conference about the

1621
00:59:49,109 --> 00:59:47,040
importance of international cooperation

1622
00:59:50,789 --> 00:59:49,119
what experiences or opportunities would

1623
00:59:52,710 --> 00:59:50,799
you recommend high school students take

1624
00:59:54,710 --> 00:59:52,720
part in to bring together the countries

1625
00:59:56,710 --> 00:59:54,720
of the world

1626
00:59:58,630 --> 00:59:56,720
wow that's a great question i live in

1627
01:00:00,789 --> 00:59:58,640
mclean so how great that you're you go

1628
01:00:02,710 --> 01:00:00,799
to longfellow

1629
01:00:04,710 --> 01:00:02,720
they

1630
01:00:08,470 --> 01:00:04,720
aspects of the space program that are

1631
01:00:11,910 --> 01:00:08,480
international to me and and actually the

1632
01:00:13,430 --> 01:00:11,920
photos that tracy just showed i think

1633
01:00:15,589 --> 01:00:13,440
reinforce

1634
01:00:18,230 --> 01:00:15,599
this global perspective that we have

1635
01:00:20,789 --> 01:00:18,240
from space when people who have gone to

1636
01:00:22,309 --> 01:00:20,799
space come back they always tell us they

1637
01:00:24,470 --> 01:00:22,319
have a

1638
01:00:26,789 --> 01:00:24,480
epiphany on orbit that there aren't

1639
01:00:28,470 --> 01:00:26,799
borders between countries and going to

1640
01:00:30,309 --> 01:00:28,480
space has allowed us to really look back

1641
01:00:32,390 --> 01:00:30,319
and see not only the fragility of our

1642
01:00:34,710 --> 01:00:32,400
world but how we have to work together i

1643
01:00:36,230 --> 01:00:34,720
would say as high schoolers you have the

1644
01:00:37,430 --> 01:00:36,240
opportunity

1645
01:00:39,349 --> 01:00:37,440
to

1646
01:00:40,710 --> 01:00:39,359
study other cultures

1647
01:00:44,309 --> 01:00:40,720
certainly

1648
01:00:46,630 --> 01:00:44,319
there are all kinds of opportunities i

1649
01:00:49,109 --> 01:00:46,640
would absolutely suggest you

1650
01:00:50,470 --> 01:00:49,119
study at least one additional language

1651
01:00:52,870 --> 01:00:50,480
to english

1652
01:00:55,589 --> 01:00:52,880
because as you grow

1653
01:00:57,109 --> 01:00:55,599
up and go to college and beyond to

1654
01:00:58,549 --> 01:00:57,119
really live in another culture and

1655
01:01:01,670 --> 01:00:58,559
understand it i'm sure you feel that way

1656
01:01:03,910 --> 01:01:01,680
about your time in russia is invaluable

1657
01:01:05,990 --> 01:01:03,920
all of us the world is getting smaller

1658
01:01:07,510 --> 01:01:06,000
as we through space actually and

1659
01:01:09,349 --> 01:01:07,520
satellites connect

1660
01:01:13,030 --> 01:01:09,359
the world

1661
01:01:14,789 --> 01:01:13,040
we have the ability i think to

1662
01:01:16,789 --> 01:01:14,799
recognize

1663
01:01:19,109 --> 01:01:16,799
we can't make decisions alone

1664
01:01:20,710 --> 01:01:19,119
that don't affect the rest so

1665
01:01:23,510 --> 01:01:20,720
i would guess that all of your careers

1666
01:01:25,109 --> 01:01:23,520
are going to be somewhat international

1667
01:01:26,710 --> 01:01:25,119
and so i would take the opportunity in

1668
01:01:29,589 --> 01:01:26,720
high school to study other languages

1669
01:01:31,510 --> 01:01:29,599
other cultures and really really gain

1670
01:01:33,030 --> 01:01:31,520
this appreciation for being a global

1671
01:01:34,470 --> 01:01:33,040
citizen

1672
01:01:38,069 --> 01:01:34,480
thanks son

1673
01:01:40,470 --> 01:01:38,079
we have a question from pradyuta

1674
01:01:42,870 --> 01:01:40,480
my name is proud utep padmanabhan from

1675
01:01:44,789 --> 01:01:42,880
oak hill elementary fifth grade

1676
01:01:47,349 --> 01:01:44,799
i'm with the capital girls first lego

1677
01:01:49,430 --> 01:01:47,359
league team my question is for tracy

1678
01:01:51,270 --> 01:01:49,440
caldwell dyson

1679
01:01:54,150 --> 01:01:51,280
when he traveled through the earth's

1680
01:01:55,670 --> 01:01:54,160
atmosphere and exit its field does it

1681
01:01:57,430 --> 01:01:55,680
feel any different

1682
01:01:59,670 --> 01:01:57,440
can you please explain how your body

1683
01:02:01,430 --> 01:01:59,680
reacts to the lack of gravitational

1684
01:02:02,870 --> 01:02:01,440
forces

1685
01:02:04,789 --> 01:02:02,880
well when you

1686
01:02:06,630 --> 01:02:04,799
go through the atmosphere

1687
01:02:08,870 --> 01:02:06,640
you don't necessarily notice it when

1688
01:02:11,029 --> 01:02:08,880
you're sitting inside the capsule or the

1689
01:02:13,109 --> 01:02:11,039
or the space shuttle because of all the

1690
01:02:16,230 --> 01:02:13,119
the forces of acceleration that you're

1691
01:02:18,549 --> 01:02:16,240
experiencing you can't tell really um as

1692
01:02:20,150 --> 01:02:18,559
on your way up when you're launching

1693
01:02:22,069 --> 01:02:20,160
exactly what is you going through the

1694
01:02:22,950 --> 01:02:22,079
atmosphere and how much of it is you

1695
01:02:24,950 --> 01:02:22,960
just

1696
01:02:27,990 --> 01:02:24,960
shooting up like a rocket

1697
01:02:29,270 --> 01:02:28,000
going uh 17 500 miles per hour so it's

1698
01:02:30,789 --> 01:02:29,280
kind of hard to distinguish the

1699
01:02:32,789 --> 01:02:30,799
difference coming home it's a much

1700
01:02:35,430 --> 01:02:32,799
different story especially when you come

1701
01:02:37,430 --> 01:02:35,440
home in a soyuz capsule you definitely

1702
01:02:38,710 --> 01:02:37,440
know when you hit the atmosphere and you

1703
01:02:40,390 --> 01:02:38,720
know when you get through it because

1704
01:02:42,630 --> 01:02:40,400
your parachute opens up and it's the

1705
01:02:45,510 --> 01:02:42,640
greatest shock of your life but

1706
01:02:47,750 --> 01:02:45,520
um there's there's no other sensation on

1707
01:02:49,349 --> 01:02:47,760
the way up there and

1708
01:02:50,870 --> 01:02:49,359
it's kind of different where you

1709
01:02:53,589 --> 01:02:50,880
experience the where you first

1710
01:02:55,589 --> 01:02:53,599
experience microgravity once you get to

1711
01:02:57,750 --> 01:02:55,599
space because on the shuttle

1712
01:02:59,589 --> 01:02:57,760
um you know i had i was one of the first

1713
01:03:02,309 --> 01:02:59,599
people to unstrap out of my seat because

1714
01:03:05,430 --> 01:03:02,319
i my job was to film the external tank

1715
01:03:08,710 --> 01:03:05,440
as it fell away so everybody stayed put

1716
01:03:10,150 --> 01:03:08,720
and had i not unstrapped right away

1717
01:03:11,829 --> 01:03:10,160
the only thing i would

1718
01:03:13,190 --> 01:03:11,839
that would give me a clue that i was in

1719
01:03:15,270 --> 01:03:13,200
microgravity would be everything else

1720
01:03:16,710 --> 01:03:15,280
that was floating around me because when

1721
01:03:18,230 --> 01:03:16,720
you're strapped in your seats you can't

1722
01:03:19,750 --> 01:03:18,240
really tell and you're strapped in there

1723
01:03:21,349 --> 01:03:19,760
pretty good

1724
01:03:23,270 --> 01:03:21,359
but on the soyuz

1725
01:03:25,750 --> 01:03:23,280
because and you saw in the picture there

1726
01:03:28,309 --> 01:03:25,760
how small it is inside there and your

1727
01:03:29,510 --> 01:03:28,319
your in your seat very very tightly

1728
01:03:32,150 --> 01:03:29,520
cinched

1729
01:03:34,309 --> 01:03:32,160
you can't really tell um that your body

1730
01:03:36,309 --> 01:03:34,319
is floating and the only sensation that

1731
01:03:37,670 --> 01:03:36,319
you have is a panel that is in front of

1732
01:03:39,750 --> 01:03:37,680
you and you look at it and you have this

1733
01:03:41,750 --> 01:03:39,760
sensation that you are upside down

1734
01:03:43,109 --> 01:03:41,760
hanging from your straps you know when

1735
01:03:45,670 --> 01:03:43,119
you're sitting in your seat right now

1736
01:03:48,150 --> 01:03:45,680
you can feel your bottom touching the

1737
01:03:50,069 --> 01:03:48,160
chair but when you're in space

1738
01:03:52,230 --> 01:03:50,079
you don't have that sensation anymore

1739
01:03:54,069 --> 01:03:52,240
and and now you can feel the straps on

1740
01:03:56,069 --> 01:03:54,079
your shoulder and and in your mind it's

1741
01:03:57,670 --> 01:03:56,079
like when you hook your legs around a

1742
01:03:59,029 --> 01:03:57,680
bar and you hang upside down you know

1743
01:04:01,029 --> 01:03:59,039
that feeling

1744
01:04:03,349 --> 01:04:01,039
that is what it felt like for me inside

1745
01:04:05,029 --> 01:04:03,359
the soyuz uh when i first got to uh to

1746
01:04:07,109 --> 01:04:05,039
space and microgravity

1747
01:04:09,029 --> 01:04:07,119
so does that answer your question yes

1748
01:04:10,829 --> 01:04:09,039
thank you you're welcome

1749
01:04:13,750 --> 01:04:10,839
and a question from anna

1750
01:04:15,990 --> 01:04:13,760
my name is anna morris i'm from

1751
01:04:18,150 --> 01:04:16,000
greenbrier west elementary my team name

1752
01:04:19,990 --> 01:04:18,160
is their robotics chicks my question is

1753
01:04:21,750 --> 01:04:20,000
for sabrina thompson

1754
01:04:24,710 --> 01:04:21,760
i would like to know how you use

1755
01:04:26,870 --> 01:04:24,720
creativity in your job as an aerospace

1756
01:04:29,990 --> 01:04:26,880
engineer what have you created or

1757
01:04:32,309 --> 01:04:30,000
invented to work in space

1758
01:04:34,870 --> 01:04:32,319
well so far i've only been working at

1759
01:04:37,190 --> 01:04:34,880
nasa goddard for about a year

1760
01:04:40,710 --> 01:04:37,200
and i haven't had the opportunity to

1761
01:04:43,190 --> 01:04:40,720
create or invent anything as of yet

1762
01:04:45,270 --> 01:04:43,200
right now i work in safety so my job

1763
01:04:47,670 --> 01:04:45,280
consists mostly of

1764
01:04:49,750 --> 01:04:47,680
creating policies and procedures to

1765
01:04:53,270 --> 01:04:49,760
protect the nasa scientists and

1766
01:04:57,829 --> 01:04:53,280
engineers when they're doing their jobs

1767
01:05:01,589 --> 01:04:59,990
creating or inventing something that'll

1768
01:05:03,750 --> 01:05:01,599
work in space

1769
01:05:06,069 --> 01:05:03,760
but for the meantime

1770
01:05:08,470 --> 01:05:06,079
in my leisure when i'm outside of work i

1771
01:05:11,349 --> 01:05:08,480
do a lot of outreach activities with

1772
01:05:12,710 --> 01:05:11,359
students like you guys and um i just

1773
01:05:15,270 --> 01:05:12,720
create different activities and

1774
01:05:17,750 --> 01:05:15,280
experiments that um you know i actually

1775
01:05:20,230 --> 01:05:17,760
perform with you guys and um

1776
01:05:22,549 --> 01:05:20,240
i do that pretty much you know at least

1777
01:05:25,910 --> 01:05:22,559
a couple times a month so that's where

1778
01:05:28,309 --> 01:05:25,920
i'm able to use my creative side

1779
01:05:31,990 --> 01:05:28,319
does that answer your question

1780
01:05:34,150 --> 01:05:32,000
okay thank you and uh from samantha m

1781
01:05:36,549 --> 01:05:34,160
um my name is samantha mendez and i'm

1782
01:05:37,750 --> 01:05:36,559
from chantay high school i'm a senior

1783
01:05:40,470 --> 01:05:37,760
i'm with

1784
01:05:42,950 --> 01:05:40,480
first robotics team 612 chantelle

1785
01:05:45,589 --> 01:05:42,960
robotics and i'm a mentor of super

1786
01:05:48,309 --> 01:05:45,599
computers and fll team and my question

1787
01:05:49,510 --> 01:05:48,319
is for lori garvis

1788
01:05:51,750 --> 01:05:49,520
heyman

1789
01:05:54,870 --> 01:05:51,760
granat once wrote that reading writing

1790
01:05:56,069 --> 01:05:54,880
and arithmetic are important only if

1791
01:05:58,309 --> 01:05:56,079
served

1792
01:06:00,470 --> 01:05:58,319
to make our children more humane with

1793
01:06:02,309 --> 01:06:00,480
technology and globalization do you

1794
01:06:04,230 --> 01:06:02,319
believe that increasing the number of

1795
01:06:06,309 --> 01:06:04,240
females in the field of mathematics and

1796
01:06:11,109 --> 01:06:06,319
science will also increase the morality

1797
01:06:18,789 --> 01:06:14,069
wow that's a very interesting question

1798
01:06:23,510 --> 01:06:22,230
i've been known to use that um

1799
01:06:25,750 --> 01:06:23,520
i actually believe that women's

1800
01:06:28,470 --> 01:06:25,760
perspective on these topics is

1801
01:06:32,390 --> 01:06:28,480
meaningful and is is going to cause us

1802
01:06:34,309 --> 01:06:32,400
to have uh a different approach

1803
01:06:36,630 --> 01:06:34,319
than just men that's that's uh what

1804
01:06:38,309 --> 01:06:36,640
diversity is all about i do think i

1805
01:06:40,150 --> 01:06:38,319
bring something different to this than

1806
01:06:42,870 --> 01:06:40,160
than a man would and i don't think that

1807
01:06:45,990 --> 01:06:42,880
any any of you uh should should feel

1808
01:06:47,829 --> 01:06:46,000
differently about that uh we have i

1809
01:06:51,349 --> 01:06:47,839
think a responsibility

1810
01:06:52,630 --> 01:06:51,359
uh i i am a parent but of course i don't

1811
01:06:53,990 --> 01:06:52,640
really believe

1812
01:06:55,829 --> 01:06:54,000
being mother's that much different than

1813
01:06:57,190 --> 01:06:55,839
being a father but i i do believe that

1814
01:07:01,190 --> 01:06:57,200
we have a responsibility to the next

1815
01:07:02,230 --> 01:07:01,200
generation and uh that we take an

1816
01:07:04,630 --> 01:07:02,240
interest

1817
01:07:08,470 --> 01:07:04,640
and a responsibility for that in in a

1818
01:07:10,150 --> 01:07:08,480
differentiated way as women we have uh i

1819
01:07:11,430 --> 01:07:10,160
think i mentioned a little bit about

1820
01:07:12,870 --> 01:07:11,440
this

1821
01:07:15,829 --> 01:07:12,880
need to have

1822
01:07:19,589 --> 01:07:15,839
more women engineers specifically

1823
01:07:21,750 --> 01:07:19,599
women tend to now we're all already

1824
01:07:23,670 --> 01:07:21,760
as as we talked a little bit about have

1825
01:07:25,430 --> 01:07:23,680
a higher percentage of women than men

1826
01:07:27,670 --> 01:07:25,440
graduating from college a higher

1827
01:07:30,710 --> 01:07:27,680
percentage of women and then men lawyers

1828
01:07:32,069 --> 01:07:30,720
and doctors but not engineers and i

1829
01:07:33,670 --> 01:07:32,079
can't help but think that one of the

1830
01:07:36,950 --> 01:07:33,680
reasons is

1831
01:07:40,230 --> 01:07:36,960
because we are not taught early on that

1832
01:07:41,670 --> 01:07:40,240
engineers actually are very very much

1833
01:07:44,069 --> 01:07:41,680
committed to and responsible for making

1834
01:07:47,190 --> 01:07:44,079
the world a better place and that's what

1835
01:07:49,829 --> 01:07:47,200
a lot of us want to do and so

1836
01:07:52,230 --> 01:07:49,839
as people i think recognize better the

1837
01:07:53,829 --> 01:07:52,240
contributions that engineers and stem

1838
01:07:57,349 --> 01:07:53,839
careers more broadly

1839
01:07:59,270 --> 01:07:57,359
contribute to a better future to

1840
01:08:01,270 --> 01:07:59,280
the humanities

1841
01:08:03,510 --> 01:08:01,280
advancement i think we will have more

1842
01:08:06,069 --> 01:08:03,520
women and that will be a good thing

1843
01:08:10,870 --> 01:08:06,079
thank you and we're going to take one

1844
01:08:13,510 --> 01:08:10,880
last question this is from sarvajna

1845
01:08:17,749 --> 01:08:13,520
my name is sarvajna kay from greenbriar

1846
01:08:20,470 --> 01:08:17,759
west es 6th grade and i am with the

1847
01:08:23,430 --> 01:08:20,480
robotics tricks fll team and my question

1848
01:08:25,269 --> 01:08:23,440
is for tracy caldwell dyson

1849
01:08:27,269 --> 01:08:25,279
what was the most important thing you

1850
01:08:29,829 --> 01:08:27,279
learned on your trip

1851
01:08:30,630 --> 01:08:29,839
oh goodness

1852
01:08:33,269 --> 01:08:30,640
oh

1853
01:08:35,349 --> 01:08:33,279
that's a hard one to answer you know

1854
01:08:37,110 --> 01:08:35,359
there's a lot of important things that

1855
01:08:38,870 --> 01:08:37,120
that you learn especially

1856
01:08:40,149 --> 01:08:38,880
well every day right

1857
01:08:41,749 --> 01:08:40,159
you don't have to just go to space for

1858
01:08:43,510 --> 01:08:41,759
that but um

1859
01:08:45,510 --> 01:08:43,520
but when you go to space it presents a

1860
01:08:46,789 --> 01:08:45,520
unique opportunity to learn important

1861
01:08:47,829 --> 01:08:46,799
things

1862
01:08:50,229 --> 01:08:47,839
um

1863
01:08:52,390 --> 01:08:50,239
just like lori mentioned you know

1864
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:52,400
astronauts come back and they

1865
01:08:55,189 --> 01:08:53,839
have

1866
01:08:57,430 --> 01:08:55,199
somewhat of a

1867
01:08:58,789 --> 01:08:57,440
revelation about looking down at the

1868
01:09:00,550 --> 01:08:58,799
earth and

1869
01:09:03,110 --> 01:09:00,560
and just how

1870
01:09:04,309 --> 01:09:03,120
gosh it's so many things it's fragile

1871
01:09:07,030 --> 01:09:04,319
it's plump

1872
01:09:08,149 --> 01:09:07,040
it's blue it's yellow it's pink it's

1873
01:09:09,669 --> 01:09:08,159
green it's

1874
01:09:11,669 --> 01:09:09,679
it's amazing

1875
01:09:13,669 --> 01:09:11,679
and um

1876
01:09:15,430 --> 01:09:13,679
you you don't see the borders that you

1877
01:09:16,390 --> 01:09:15,440
hear about here and you fight for down

1878
01:09:17,669 --> 01:09:16,400
here

1879
01:09:20,149 --> 01:09:17,679
um

1880
01:09:21,749 --> 01:09:20,159
and you you feel very protective of it

1881
01:09:23,349 --> 01:09:21,759
up there and that's one reason why you

1882
01:09:25,030 --> 01:09:23,359
want to bring everybody up there and

1883
01:09:26,309 --> 01:09:25,040
stick their nose in that cupola window

1884
01:09:28,470 --> 01:09:26,319
and let them see what you're seeing

1885
01:09:31,110 --> 01:09:28,480
because if they did even the person that

1886
01:09:32,829 --> 01:09:31,120
cares the least about our environment

1887
01:09:36,070 --> 01:09:32,839
would change their mind i'm i'm pretty

1888
01:09:37,990 --> 01:09:36,080
convinced when you see that earth

1889
01:09:40,149 --> 01:09:38,000
through your eyes your very own eyes

1890
01:09:42,309 --> 01:09:40,159
you're in disbelief

1891
01:09:44,630 --> 01:09:42,319
you cannot believe that you are up there

1892
01:09:46,229 --> 01:09:44,640
looking at that thing you can't believe

1893
01:09:47,749 --> 01:09:46,239
what you're seeing and it's going by

1894
01:09:50,309 --> 01:09:47,759
fast you better be paying attention

1895
01:09:51,990 --> 01:09:50,319
we're going mach 25 folks and that earth

1896
01:09:53,189 --> 01:09:52,000
doesn't stand still

1897
01:09:54,709 --> 01:09:53,199
and

1898
01:09:56,950 --> 01:09:54,719
a lot a lot of times you go over parts

1899
01:09:58,070 --> 01:09:56,960
of the earth where there's

1900
01:10:00,470 --> 01:09:58,080
clouds

1901
01:10:02,470 --> 01:10:00,480
and you can't really see the earth below

1902
01:10:04,310 --> 01:10:02,480
but then when the clouds part and you

1903
01:10:06,630 --> 01:10:04,320
see this incredible

1904
01:10:08,070 --> 01:10:06,640
uh landmass features you saw some of the

1905
01:10:09,830 --> 01:10:08,080
photos today as some of those that

1906
01:10:12,790 --> 01:10:09,840
caught our eye and then you see mother

1907
01:10:15,910 --> 01:10:12,800
nature at her finest with the with the

1908
01:10:19,110 --> 01:10:15,920
storms the the the hurricanes the that

1909
01:10:22,070 --> 01:10:19,120
you could see for for thousands of miles

1910
01:10:24,229 --> 01:10:22,080
you can see for thousands of miles

1911
01:10:26,229 --> 01:10:24,239
up there you can see the curvature of

1912
01:10:28,229 --> 01:10:26,239
the earth you can see you can see

1913
01:10:30,870 --> 01:10:28,239
lightning and you can see lightning

1914
01:10:32,630 --> 01:10:30,880
spread all across the planet all look i

1915
01:10:34,390 --> 01:10:32,640
mean you would not believe standing here

1916
01:10:37,430 --> 01:10:34,400
on the surface of the earth just how far

1917
01:10:38,870 --> 01:10:37,440
lightning can go it's amazing that that

1918
01:10:40,950 --> 01:10:38,880
that people in different parts of the

1919
01:10:41,830 --> 01:10:40,960
world are experiencing the same storm

1920
01:10:44,790 --> 01:10:41,840
system

1921
01:10:47,750 --> 01:10:44,800
and i watched it up in space you can see

1922
01:10:49,430 --> 01:10:47,760
the this when the sun sets you can watch

1923
01:10:51,430 --> 01:10:49,440
all the stars come out

1924
01:10:53,750 --> 01:10:51,440
you can watch the moon set and when the

1925
01:10:55,510 --> 01:10:53,760
moon sets but behind the atmosphere and

1926
01:10:57,030 --> 01:10:55,520
you saw a picture of it it distorts the

1927
01:10:58,390 --> 01:10:57,040
view of it there was once i looked out

1928
01:11:00,149 --> 01:10:58,400
the window and i thought

1929
01:11:01,750 --> 01:11:00,159
i thought there was a branding iron that

1930
01:11:03,910 --> 01:11:01,760
had landed on the earth it was actually

1931
01:11:06,470 --> 01:11:03,920
the moon with the way that the sun was

1932
01:11:08,630 --> 01:11:06,480
setting on it that it turned red and

1933
01:11:10,709 --> 01:11:08,640
orange and it was distorted and it was

1934
01:11:12,149 --> 01:11:10,719
the way it was spread out across what

1935
01:11:13,510 --> 01:11:12,159
looked like the earth but it was

1936
01:11:16,149 --> 01:11:13,520
actually being distorted through the

1937
01:11:18,310 --> 01:11:16,159
atmosphere in my view through it

1938
01:11:20,310 --> 01:11:18,320
and then when the sun sets and you look

1939
01:11:24,870 --> 01:11:20,320
at the stars

1940
01:11:26,630 --> 01:11:24,880
from where we are here right you look

1941
01:11:28,550 --> 01:11:26,640
through the atmosphere and you see

1942
01:11:30,310 --> 01:11:28,560
things twinkling but you don't see them

1943
01:11:31,910 --> 01:11:30,320
twinkle up in space because you're above

1944
01:11:33,110 --> 01:11:31,920
the atmosphere

1945
01:11:34,709 --> 01:11:33,120
and the other thing you see when you're

1946
01:11:36,470 --> 01:11:34,719
down here looking up at the stars and it

1947
01:11:38,630 --> 01:11:36,480
doesn't matter if you're yosemite away

1948
01:11:41,669 --> 01:11:38,640
from all the lights and and light

1949
01:11:43,590 --> 01:11:41,679
pollution you see so many stars that you

1950
01:11:45,270 --> 01:11:43,600
can't even make out a constellation that

1951
01:11:47,590 --> 01:11:45,280
you're so used to seeing

1952
01:11:49,750 --> 01:11:47,600
it's the same thing in space but here on

1953
01:11:51,910 --> 01:11:49,760
the bottom on the on the earth you look

1954
01:11:53,910 --> 01:11:51,920
and you see you see all the stars look

1955
01:11:56,630 --> 01:11:53,920
like they're in the same plane but when

1956
01:11:59,990 --> 01:11:56,640
you're above the atmosphere you actually

1957
01:12:01,430 --> 01:12:00,000
see depth in stars you see stars that

1958
01:12:03,750 --> 01:12:01,440
are further away

1959
01:12:05,910 --> 01:12:03,760
than they are as close to you and that's

1960
01:12:07,669 --> 01:12:05,920
the most amazing thing and if i had to

1961
01:12:09,030 --> 01:12:07,679
say the most important thing i learned

1962
01:12:10,870 --> 01:12:09,040
up there

1963
01:12:12,950 --> 01:12:10,880
was that when i think about

1964
01:12:15,189 --> 01:12:12,960
how many people get to see

1965
01:12:17,510 --> 01:12:15,199
what i'm seeing

1966
01:12:20,310 --> 01:12:17,520
how much more important it is that we

1967
01:12:21,270 --> 01:12:20,320
get more people to see that very thing

1968
01:12:23,990 --> 01:12:21,280
because

1969
01:12:27,030 --> 01:12:24,000
you realize just how small you are

1970
01:12:29,590 --> 01:12:27,040
when you're above the earth that far and

1971
01:12:31,189 --> 01:12:29,600
you see so much of it and you know how

1972
01:12:32,709 --> 01:12:31,199
many people there are on that planet

1973
01:12:34,550 --> 01:12:32,719
that need to come up and take a look at

1974
01:12:36,229 --> 01:12:34,560
that same thing you're looking at

1975
01:12:38,149 --> 01:12:36,239
so the most important thing i learned

1976
01:12:42,630 --> 01:12:38,159
was how small i was and how important it

1977
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:50,070
thank you all

1978
01:12:53,910 --> 01:12:51,830
