1
00:00:00,789 --> 00:00:01,789
All right.

2
00:00:01,789 --> 00:00:03,560
Let's get started with our first part here.

3
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:10,690
Really just talking about the relationship
between space science and science fiction.

4
00:00:10,690 --> 00:00:18,700
Really throughout NASA's history, it's been
inspired by science fiction and it's conversely

5
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:20,380
influenced it.

6
00:00:20,380 --> 00:00:24,110
So, I guess I'll pose it to you guys first.

7
00:00:24,110 --> 00:00:26,770
Amber, you can go first, you know?

8
00:00:26,770 --> 00:00:32,050
How were you directly influenced by pop culture
and sci-fi...

9
00:00:32,050 --> 00:00:39,090
the way that NASA and science fiction sort
of mutually influence each other is really

10
00:00:39,090 --> 00:00:40,090
cool.

11
00:00:40,090 --> 00:00:43,140
It's a really fun thing that happens.

12
00:00:43,140 --> 00:00:46,190
And I don't really think it's surprising.

13
00:00:46,190 --> 00:00:52,350
You know, I think both of these realms, science
fiction and NASA, they sort of strive for

14
00:00:52,350 --> 00:00:53,350
great things.

15
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:59,010
You know, they're all about imagining a better
future, imagining things that is just barely

16
00:00:59,010 --> 00:01:01,480
beyond a reach of what we can do now.

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:07,690
And I think that's why that they're so related
and they influence each other and why so many
