birthday okay

11
00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:46,879
i'm really sorry i uh there's a lot of

12
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:48,640
echoing and i cannot hear what the

13
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:53,270
say your question

14
00:01:01,910 --> 00:00:56,480
my question for you is

15
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:03,910
speaking to this one why did i choose to

16
00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:05,920
be an astronaut well i

17
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:08,240
was probably about your age i think

18
00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:10,000
you're in the third grade i think i was

19
00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:11,680
in the fourth grade and i watched the

20
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:13,680
first guys walk on the moon and i

21
00:01:18,070 --> 00:01:16,320
thought wow cool job

22
00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:18,080
later in life

23
00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:19,119
they

24
00:01:25,749 --> 00:01:23,520
picked the first female astronauts

25
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:25,759
and i still was dreaming of being an

26
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:28,560
astronaut then uh so i that's what i

27
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:38,789
get really close

28
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:40,400
hi peggy

29
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:43,520
my name is damian garza and my question

30
00:01:47,210 --> 00:01:46,240
for you is what does your family think

31
00:01:50,789 --> 00:01:47,220
about what you do

32
00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:53,590
well i hope they're proud of me

33
00:02:00,550 --> 00:01:57,600
i'm not sure but i think i think they

34
00:02:01,749 --> 00:02:00,560
like what i do uh and are interested in

35
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:01,759
what i do

36
00:02:06,789 --> 00:02:04,320
my parents are farmers

37
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:06,799
and so i grew up in a farm community

38
00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:08,399
it's very different

39
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:11,360
from anything i've chosen to do in in my

40
00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:13,680
life since i graduated from

41
00:02:18,070 --> 00:02:16,080
high school and college but that's been

42
00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:18,080
okay

43
00:02:26,949 --> 00:02:23,830
yep

44
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:26,959
talking to here hi peggy

45
00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:33,430
and my question for you is what kind of

46
00:02:42,790 --> 00:02:35,280
challenges have you faced as a female

47
00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:45,990
can you say it again i'm sorry

48
00:02:52,390 --> 00:02:48,080
what kind of challenges have you faced

49
00:02:56,470 --> 00:02:54,790
oh that's a good question and you know i

50
00:02:58,949 --> 00:02:56,480
think everyone faces different

51
00:03:00,149 --> 00:02:58,959
challenges in whatever it is that they

52
00:03:01,910 --> 00:03:00,159
pursue

53
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:01,920
i think the things that have made me

54
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:06,000
most successful have been just my

55
00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:08,720
work ethic i work really really hard and

56
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:09,840
i

57
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:12,640
try to always do my very very best

58
00:03:18,149 --> 00:03:14,640
and i think that

59
00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:18,159
that shows and people recognize that and

60
00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:20,560
has always made me

61
00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:22,319
succeed

62
00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:25,120
even though in many cases i was the only

63
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:28,319
woman in the room during meetings and

64
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:31,200
in my initial phases at nasa

65
00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:32,720
so i think

66
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:35,440
working hard can overcome a lot of those

67
00:03:39,509 --> 00:03:37,760
obstacles that you might face

68
00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:39,519
proving that you can do the job is the

69
00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:47,990
you thing stand normally

70
00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:50,879
hi penny my name is daddy gonzalez and

71
00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:53,200
my question for you is

72
00:04:00,229 --> 00:03:55,840
have you seen any strange objects in

73
00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:01,190
actually

74
00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:03,840
i haven't really seen anything unusual

75
00:04:07,429 --> 00:04:06,400
uh but the perspective that we have from

76
00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:07,439
up here

77
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:09,920
is such that uh even things that you

78
00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:11,840
might have seen on earth like for

79
00:04:16,949 --> 00:04:14,319
instance meteor coming in you know we

80
00:04:19,270 --> 00:04:16,959
see a shooting star from earth seeing

81
00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:19,280
that from this perspective means that

82
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:20,720
it's below you

83
00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:24,000
and so had to get past you

84
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:26,639
and miss you to go into the atmosphere

85
00:04:29,909 --> 00:04:29,040
so that's an interesting perspective to

86
00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:29,919
see

87
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:33,520
uh things from from here at 250 miles

88
00:04:38,960 --> 00:05:03,749
you can speak normal

89
00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:09,990
i

90
00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:35,840
from you

91
00:05:41,110 --> 00:05:38,639
although that was better

92
00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:41,120
sure peggy this is kaide aguilar her

93
00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:43,440
question is have you ever experienced

94
00:05:53,029 --> 00:05:50,790
actually

95
00:05:55,749 --> 00:05:53,039
we we have had occasional problems on

96
00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:55,759
the iss part of our job as astronauts is

97
00:06:00,469 --> 00:05:57,840
to fix them when they arise

98
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:00,479
uh for instance uh the day after we

99
00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:02,720
arrived on orbit here we had a big

100
00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:05,039
problem with the toilet

101
00:06:09,430 --> 00:06:07,120
uh our toilet is actually a very

102
00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:09,440
sophisticated system that actually takes

103
00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:13,360
the urine and and it processes the water

104
00:06:18,390 --> 00:06:15,440
and then it actually makes it uh clean

105
00:06:20,950 --> 00:06:18,400
enough that we use it as drinking water

106
00:06:23,110 --> 00:06:20,960
but in any in any case that part of our

107
00:06:25,749 --> 00:06:23,120
toilet system was broken and we had to

108
00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:25,759
spend a day uh an entire day trying to

109
00:06:29,749 --> 00:06:27,120
get that fixed

110
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:29,759
we had a backup toilet

111
00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:31,120
on board but

112
00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:32,960
we always want to have

113
00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:37,120
two available just in case

114
00:06:41,590 --> 00:06:38,800
okay ready

115
00:06:43,510 --> 00:06:41,600
hi peggy my name is david adiles and my

116
00:06:45,350 --> 00:06:43,520
question for you is what's been your

117
00:06:50,550 --> 00:06:45,360
experience with micro meteorites or

118
00:06:55,270 --> 00:06:53,189
actually that's a really good question

119
00:06:58,309 --> 00:06:55,280
we have to worry a lot about space

120
00:07:01,589 --> 00:06:58,319
debris we have a group of people on the

121
00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:01,599
ground that actually monitor and track

122
00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:04,240
space debris that's very large

123
00:07:10,550 --> 00:07:07,120
which is great for us because anytime it

124
00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:10,560
gets relatively close to the station

125
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:13,680
we can do either a reboost to increase

126
00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:14,400
our

127
00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:16,800
altitude to avoid it or we can actually

128
00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:18,000
de-boost

129
00:07:22,629 --> 00:07:20,560
and slow ourselves down and and decrease

130
00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:22,639
our altitude a little bit just to make

131
00:07:27,110 --> 00:07:24,240
sure that we would miss

132
00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:27,120
any large debris so it is a very

133
00:07:30,390 --> 00:07:28,240
important

134
00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:30,400
problem and concern that we have and we

135
00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:32,960
do track it

136
00:07:40,629 --> 00:07:38,550
hi peggy my name is matthew lehigh my

137
00:07:42,790 --> 00:07:40,639
question for you is when doing your

138
00:07:46,469 --> 00:07:42,800
spacewalk on the iss do you feel the

139
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:46,479
effects of traveling at 17 500 miles per

140
00:07:50,710 --> 00:07:46,770
hour

141
00:07:56,390 --> 00:07:52,629
actually it really is kind of hard to

142
00:07:58,869 --> 00:07:56,400
have a real sense of traveling at 17 500

143
00:08:01,270 --> 00:07:58,879
miles an hour

144
00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:01,280
it's it's hard to imagine yourself going

145
00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:02,560
that fast

146
00:08:07,749 --> 00:08:05,039
and i think about it in terms of the

147
00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:07,759
fact that every 90 minutes we're going

148
00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:09,280
around the earth

149
00:08:14,230 --> 00:08:11,759
and every 45 minutes we see either a

150
00:08:16,550 --> 00:08:14,240
sunrise or a sunset

151
00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:16,560
and that gives you more of a sense of

152
00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:19,120
speed than actually just looking out the

153
00:08:23,350 --> 00:08:21,280
window that is unless you're trying to

154
00:08:25,029 --> 00:08:23,360
take a picture of a particular spot on

155
00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:25,039
the ground because then it goes by

156
00:08:29,029 --> 00:08:26,960
pretty fast you have to be tracking your

157
00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:29,039
target very quickly in order to capture

158
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,829
hi my name is

159
00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:40,469
hi peggy my name is

160
00:08:45,829 --> 00:08:43,839
for you is when you are in space can you

161
00:08:46,310 --> 00:08:45,839
eat hot foods or is everything in a

162
00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:46,320
packet

163
00:08:58,949 --> 00:08:56,070
sorry i'm not catching him

164
00:09:01,190 --> 00:08:58,959
peggy this is joel ramos's question is

165
00:09:07,030 --> 00:09:01,200
when you are in space can you eat hot

166
00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:09,269
actually that's a really great question

167
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:13,120
we do have a lot of food in packets um

168
00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:19,269
the these packets are like metal foil

169
00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:21,279
and we actually can warm them up in an

170
00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:24,160
oven and eat them out of that so like i

171
00:09:27,350 --> 00:09:26,480
have a chicken fajita and a soup here

172
00:09:28,870 --> 00:09:27,360
that are

173
00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:28,880
actually quite good

174
00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:30,640
and tastes pretty much like the stuff we

175
00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:31,920
have on the ground

176
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:34,160
a lot of our food though because we want

177
00:09:38,949 --> 00:09:36,720
to save mass and volume is dehydrated

178
00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:38,959
which means we take all the water out of

179
00:09:43,269 --> 00:09:42,000
it and then here we have a machine that

180
00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:43,279
we just

181
00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:45,360
add the water back into and we have a

182
00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:48,240
little food warmer to heat it up

183
00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:51,360
if it's something we want to eat hot we

184
00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:53,360
also have things like that you might

185
00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:56,720
recognize here we just have some like

186
00:10:01,350 --> 00:10:00,000
candy coated almonds here

187
00:10:03,590 --> 00:10:01,360
and

188
00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:03,600
it's actually pretty fun

189
00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:04,959
to

190
00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:07,200
play with our food in space because it's

191
00:10:14,389 --> 00:10:09,920
a little different than on earth

192
00:10:18,310 --> 00:10:16,230
and

193
00:10:19,829 --> 00:10:18,320
if you think about it being in zero

194
00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:19,839
gravity

195
00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:21,920
we also have to

196
00:10:27,269 --> 00:10:23,760
worry about how we drink

197
00:10:29,509 --> 00:10:27,279
things because we can't obviously

198
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:29,519
drink fluids

199
00:10:35,030 --> 00:10:31,600
out of a glass because fluids wouldn't

200
00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:35,040
stay in a glass so we drink them out of

201
00:10:39,750 --> 00:10:37,680
pouches and our pouches have special

202
00:10:42,870 --> 00:10:39,760
little straws on them

203
00:10:44,949 --> 00:10:42,880
uh that actually close up so that when

204
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:44,959
we're not drinking uh

205
00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:45,760
the

206
00:10:52,550 --> 00:10:49,680
but if you i'm going to show you what

207
00:10:54,069 --> 00:10:52,560
happens when the liquid does come out

208
00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:54,079
it makes it

209
00:11:06,470 --> 00:11:01,269
and

210
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:06,480
the behavior of liquids in zero gravity

211
00:11:09,670 --> 00:11:08,000
you can see that it

212
00:11:12,550 --> 00:11:09,680
it just stays on the end there it's

213
00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:12,560
stuck to the end of the straw

214
00:11:18,389 --> 00:11:14,880
and forms a little ball

215
00:11:28,069 --> 00:11:20,790
okay thank you

216
00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:30,550
hi peggy my name is derek rivera and my

217
00:11:33,590 --> 00:11:32,240
question for you is what is your

218
00:11:35,180 --> 00:11:33,600
favorite experiment that you have

219
00:11:40,389 --> 00:11:35,190
conducted in microgravity

220
00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:42,389
what is my favorite

221
00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:44,640
i didn't

222
00:11:48,069 --> 00:11:46,240
peggy the question was what is your

223
00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:48,079
favorite experiment that you have done

224
00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:54,389
actually one of the things i really love

225
00:11:57,670 --> 00:11:56,959
about being in microgravity is

226
00:12:01,269 --> 00:11:57,680
and

227
00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:01,279
here is the fact that we get to work on

228
00:12:05,910 --> 00:12:03,200
such a wide variety of different

229
00:12:08,629 --> 00:12:05,920
experiments for me that's a lot of fun

230
00:12:11,910 --> 00:12:08,639
but i like to grow things on earth i

231
00:12:14,069 --> 00:12:11,920
like to flowers and plants and so for me

232
00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:14,079
growing some cabbage on this flight and

233
00:12:18,550 --> 00:12:16,240
on my another flight i grew soybeans

234
00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:18,560
which is one of the crops that my dad

235
00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:21,680
grows so that was very interesting to me

236
00:12:26,949 --> 00:12:24,000
but i also like doing the experiments on

237
00:12:28,389 --> 00:12:26,959
the humans because that's what helps us

238
00:12:31,110 --> 00:12:28,399
understand

239
00:12:32,150 --> 00:12:31,120
uh what we need to do to make it safe

240
00:12:34,230 --> 00:12:32,160
for

241
00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:34,240
us to go on long duration exploration

242
00:12:39,990 --> 00:12:37,200
missions to the moon and mars and you

243
00:12:42,310 --> 00:12:40,000
know all these other places that you

244
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:42,320
folks will be going to in the future

245
00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:44,320
and so it's really important that we do

246
00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:46,399
that research on the human body

247
00:12:50,389 --> 00:12:48,160
understanding bone and muscle

248
00:12:52,629 --> 00:12:50,399
development

249
00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:52,639
as well as you know changes in our

250
00:12:56,629 --> 00:12:53,760
vision

251
00:12:58,870 --> 00:12:56,639
and other changes in the body so it's

252
00:13:07,910 --> 00:12:58,880
it's really fun to do those experiments

253
00:13:12,790 --> 00:13:10,470
hi peggy my name is lorena sedra and my

254
00:13:15,269 --> 00:13:12,800
question for you is does your body feel

255
00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:15,279
tired as it does on earth after a long

256
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:21,670
well i i do think you get tired

257
00:13:27,190 --> 00:13:24,480
especially like if we do space walks uh

258
00:13:29,030 --> 00:13:27,200
your body gets really physically tired

259
00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:29,040
uh because it's very physically

260
00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:31,920
challenging inside the spacesuit but i

261
00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:32,880
think

262
00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:35,200
in general up here i sleep so well that

263
00:13:45,269 --> 00:13:38,560
i don't typically feel very tired so i'm

264
00:13:50,310 --> 00:13:47,990
hi peggy my name is joshua alanis and my

265
00:13:52,389 --> 00:13:50,320
question for you is what has been your

266
00:13:58,550 --> 00:13:52,399
most frightening experience while in

267
00:14:03,750 --> 00:14:01,590
well we train for a lot of things to go

268
00:14:05,910 --> 00:14:03,760
wrong in space and so i think that

269
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:05,920
training tends to make you less

270
00:14:10,310 --> 00:14:07,920
frightened about things but probably the

271
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:10,320
most uh what i would call sporty thing

272
00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:14,240
that happened is uh my last descent

273
00:14:19,110 --> 00:14:16,480
in the soyuz spacecraft

274
00:14:21,509 --> 00:14:19,120
one of the the separation bolts didn't

275
00:14:23,590 --> 00:14:21,519
work and so we had to do what's called a

276
00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:23,600
ballistic reentry which

277
00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:25,920
causes up to eight times the force of

278
00:14:30,310 --> 00:14:28,399
gravity on your body so it feels like

279
00:14:32,150 --> 00:14:30,320
eight dudes are sitting on your chest so

280
00:14:33,030 --> 00:14:32,160
it makes it hard to breathe

281
00:14:35,829 --> 00:14:33,040
and

282
00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:35,839
that was probably the most uh

283
00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:38,320
off nominal we call it off nominal

284
00:14:51,509 --> 00:14:49,509
hi peggy my name is sophia pecina and my

285
00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:51,519
question for you is do you think there

286
00:14:58,629 --> 00:14:53,760
might be life on another earth-like

287
00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:01,110
well i know you probably already know

288
00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:05,040
that nasa has and many other uh agencies

289
00:15:09,030 --> 00:15:06,800
are working together and looking for

290
00:15:11,509 --> 00:15:09,040
other planets that are earth-like and we

291
00:15:13,829 --> 00:15:11,519
found literally last year i believe over

292
00:15:15,030 --> 00:15:13,839
a thousand planets that they consider

293
00:15:17,430 --> 00:15:15,040
earth-like

294
00:15:19,509 --> 00:15:17,440
and so i think that yes the chances are

295
00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:19,519
the odds are that yes there is other

296
00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:21,680
life out there it might not look it or

297
00:15:26,470 --> 00:15:23,920
be exactly like the life as we know it

298
00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:26,480
with plants on our earth or you know

299
00:15:31,189 --> 00:15:28,959
people won't necessarily be people or

300
00:15:33,110 --> 00:15:31,199
looked quite the same but yes i think

301
00:15:35,749 --> 00:15:33,120
there will be other life out there

302
00:15:38,389 --> 00:15:35,759
because there just are so many planets

303
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:42,069
happy birthday

304
00:15:45,670 --> 00:15:44,230
hi thank you so much hi thank you my

305
00:15:47,910 --> 00:15:45,680
name is matildo

306
00:15:48,710 --> 00:15:47,920
and my question for you is how well do

307
00:16:01,030 --> 00:15:48,720
you

308
00:16:05,110 --> 00:16:03,350
i didn't quite get that one

309
00:16:09,749 --> 00:16:05,120
peggy the question was how well do you

310
00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:11,430
actually that's a really really

311
00:16:17,829 --> 00:16:14,320
important question because obviously

312
00:16:20,710 --> 00:16:17,839
we're living up here uh the six of us

313
00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:20,720
and getting along is very important but

314
00:16:25,269 --> 00:16:22,880
we also actually have to get along well

315
00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:25,279
with our ground teams and we have ground

316
00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:28,160
control teams in houston and in

317
00:16:34,470 --> 00:16:30,959
huntsville alabama in

318
00:16:35,590 --> 00:16:34,480
scuba in japan in moscow and in munich

319
00:16:38,069 --> 00:16:35,600
and so

320
00:16:40,949 --> 00:16:38,079
being able to interact well with people

321
00:16:43,110 --> 00:16:40,959
is a a very important skill

322
00:16:45,509 --> 00:16:43,120
being able to communicate effectively

323
00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:45,519
with people and tell them

324
00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:47,680
you know where the problems are and how

325
00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:50,399
to work around them is very important

326
00:16:55,990 --> 00:16:53,759
and a very important skill in in life

327
00:16:58,150 --> 00:16:56,000
as well as for being an astronaut so

328
00:17:00,949 --> 00:16:58,160
it's very important and i

329
00:17:02,949 --> 00:17:00,959
happen to be extremely lucky with the

330
00:17:05,990 --> 00:17:02,959
the group of guys that i'm up here with

331
00:17:08,549 --> 00:17:06,000
they are incredibly fun

332
00:17:10,150 --> 00:17:08,559
incredibly competent and we really have

333
00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:10,160
a good time

334
00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:12,000
genuinely

335
00:17:22,949 --> 00:17:19,909
hi peggy my name is hanayasteo

336
00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:22,959
and my question to you is what advice

337
00:17:27,829 --> 00:17:25,280
can you give us if we want to become an

338
00:17:29,990 --> 00:17:27,839
astronaut

339
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:30,000
three minutes

340
00:17:33,909 --> 00:17:31,760
well well if you want to become an

341
00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:33,919
astronaut i think probably the most

342
00:17:38,310 --> 00:17:35,760
important thing is to

343
00:17:40,549 --> 00:17:38,320
pick any field in science math or

344
00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:40,559
engineering um

345
00:17:46,070 --> 00:17:43,520
aviation aerospace engineering

346
00:17:48,470 --> 00:17:46,080
i'm a biochemist we have physicists we

347
00:17:49,909 --> 00:17:48,480
have all different kinds of scientists

348
00:17:51,830 --> 00:17:49,919
all different kinds of engineers

349
00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:51,840
electrical engineers mechanical

350
00:17:57,909 --> 00:17:55,200
engineers aeronautical engineers

351
00:17:59,350 --> 00:17:57,919
and we have aviation pilots and test

352
00:18:00,549 --> 00:17:59,360
pilots

353
00:18:02,390 --> 00:18:00,559
so

354
00:18:04,230 --> 00:18:02,400
there are lots of different fields but i

355
00:18:05,909 --> 00:18:04,240
think probably the most important piece

356
00:18:07,510 --> 00:18:05,919
of advice is that you need to pick

357
00:18:09,590 --> 00:18:07,520
something that you really love because

358
00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:09,600
you really want to be good at it in

359
00:18:14,789 --> 00:18:11,280
order to stand out

360
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:14,799
and be selected as an astronaut so

361
00:18:27,029 --> 00:18:16,960
pursue something that you really really

362
00:18:32,390 --> 00:18:29,190
hi peggy engineering name is jubilee

363
00:18:34,789 --> 00:18:32,400
garces and my question for you is

364
00:18:40,390 --> 00:18:34,799
do you see yourself being an astronaut

365
00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:41,510
well i

366
00:18:45,909 --> 00:18:43,360
really haven't ever wanted to do

367
00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:45,919
anything else so i imagine i will always

368
00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:48,400
work in the space industry

369
00:18:55,270 --> 00:18:51,760
i really enjoy

370
00:19:00,150 --> 00:18:55,280
nasa what nasa stands for exploration

371
00:19:04,150 --> 00:19:02,789
okay peggy thank you here from west from

372
00:19:06,030 --> 00:19:04,160
all of us in here west ago we're gonna

373
00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:06,040
say happy birthday

374
00:19:18,710 --> 00:19:16,870
thank you guys so much you had fantastic

375
00:19:20,789 --> 00:19:18,720
questions i'm sorry i couldn't hear them

376
00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:20,799
all very well but you had really great

377
00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:21,919
questions

378
