00:19:16,710 --> 00:19:15,200
because that is our mars generation that

342
00:19:20,210 --> 00:19:16,720
is our next group of

343
00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:23,110
[Applause]

344
00:19:27,669 --> 00:19:25,520
and we want to inspire those young

345
00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:27,679
children of our next generation to seek

346
00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:30,000
the stars or just to join the space

347
00:19:35,830 --> 00:19:32,240
industry we're also having a lot of fun

348
00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:35,840
here we just built a concept mars rover

349
00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:38,320
that is uh larger than life i'll just

350
00:19:42,230 --> 00:19:40,480
say it's a huge vehicle that's going to

351
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:42,240
go on tour throughout the eastern united

352
00:19:46,789 --> 00:19:44,160
states here next month

353
00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:46,799
and it is designed for one purpose only

354
00:19:49,830 --> 00:19:48,240
inspiration

355
00:19:51,430 --> 00:19:49,840
so that when a child looks at it and

356
00:19:53,029 --> 00:19:51,440
thinks that they may be able to drive

357
00:19:54,789 --> 00:19:53,039
something like that in the future that's

358
00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:54,799
that's going to inspire them to really

359
00:19:56,630 --> 00:19:55,600
seek

360
00:19:58,470 --> 00:19:56,640
the great

361
00:20:00,630 --> 00:19:58,480
science technology engineering and math

362
00:20:05,669 --> 00:20:00,640
that our education system is providing

363
00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:07,029
there are even more innovations on the

364
00:20:11,029 --> 00:20:08,960
horizon and we are so excited about the

365
00:20:13,350 --> 00:20:11,039
future of this complex today's children

366
00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:13,360
need to have fun while learning science

367
00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:15,360
technology engineering and math in order

368
00:20:19,510 --> 00:20:17,360
to become tomorrow's explorers

369
00:20:21,190 --> 00:20:19,520
that is also why we're creating an new

370
00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:21,200
astronaut training experience which will

371
00:20:26,470 --> 00:20:24,000
open up this fall of this year

372
00:20:28,549 --> 00:20:26,480
the all-new atx for astronaut training

373
00:20:30,470 --> 00:20:28,559
experience will provide guests of all

374
00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:30,480
ages and the opportunity to train like

375
00:20:35,029 --> 00:20:32,880
astronauts for their missions to mars

376
00:20:37,350 --> 00:20:35,039
thanks to full motion and virtual

377
00:20:39,909 --> 00:20:37,360
reality simulators that let them feel

378
00:20:41,669 --> 00:20:39,919
they are really landing walking driving

379
00:20:42,710 --> 00:20:41,679
and living on the red planet they will

380
00:20:44,870 --> 00:20:42,720
learn how to

381
00:20:47,190 --> 00:20:44,880
to grow plants they will learn how

382
00:20:48,789 --> 00:20:47,200
operations through robotics engineering

383
00:20:50,470 --> 00:20:48,799
and this new program will be the gold

384
00:20:51,669 --> 00:20:50,480
standard and experience astronaut

385
00:20:54,710 --> 00:20:51,679
training

386
00:20:57,190 --> 00:20:54,720
going to go on to the second program

387
00:20:59,110 --> 00:20:57,200
which is a now called mars base one

388
00:21:01,830 --> 00:20:59,120
which invites guests to participate in

389
00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:01,840
fully immersive uh missions to mars and

390
00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:05,120
experience life on a prototype mars base

391
00:21:08,870 --> 00:21:06,880
they will operate robotics conduct

392
00:21:10,710 --> 00:21:08,880
experiments solve many engineering

393
00:21:12,470 --> 00:21:10,720
challenges involved in living and

394
00:21:14,950 --> 00:21:12,480
working on mars

395
00:21:17,190 --> 00:21:14,960
short of joining nasa's astronaut corps

396
00:21:19,029 --> 00:21:17,200
which we hope they do or just enter the

397
00:21:20,549 --> 00:21:19,039
space industry you simply can't

398
00:21:22,789 --> 00:21:20,559
experience astronaut training or

399
00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:22,799
immersive mars simulations like this

400
00:21:27,270 --> 00:21:24,960
anywhere else on earth we look forward

401
00:21:29,430 --> 00:21:27,280
to opening these new programs this fall

402
00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:29,440
and so much more again continues to come

403
00:21:32,710 --> 00:21:30,960
in the future

of fame

454
00:23:35,590 --> 00:23:33,280
back in the 1980s the mercury astronauts

455
00:23:37,669 --> 00:23:35,600
decided there should be a place to

456
00:23:40,230 --> 00:23:37,679
recognize and celebrate the astronauts

457
00:23:42,470 --> 00:23:40,240
accomplishments and share the human side

458
00:23:43,669 --> 00:23:42,480
of space flight in a unique and personal

459
00:23:45,269 --> 00:23:43,679
way

460
00:23:47,269 --> 00:23:45,279
their dream of the astronaut hall of

461
00:23:49,510 --> 00:23:47,279
fame became a reality

462
00:23:51,029 --> 00:23:49,520
and look where it's gotten us today it's

463
00:23:54,390 --> 00:23:51,039
really great and thanks to tharon and

464
00:23:56,470 --> 00:23:54,400
his team it continues to get better

465
00:23:59,110 --> 00:23:56,480
the hall of fame seeks to celebrate and

466
00:24:01,350 --> 00:23:59,120
inspire but more than that a goal to

467
00:24:05,269 --> 00:24:01,360
keep america in the leading edge of

468
00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:05,279
technology and innovation that means

469
00:24:09,510 --> 00:24:08,000
encouraging students to aim high

470
00:24:11,430 --> 00:24:09,520
to dream big

471
00:24:14,549 --> 00:24:11,440
and to pursue their careers in science

472
00:24:15,909 --> 00:24:14,559
technology engineering and math

473
00:24:19,029 --> 00:24:15,919
and that's where the astronaut

474
00:24:21,830 --> 00:24:19,039
scholarship foundation comes in the asf

475
00:24:23,510 --> 00:24:21,840
awards merit-based scholarships to the

476
00:24:25,430 --> 00:24:23,520
best and brightest students around the

477
00:24:26,789 --> 00:24:25,440
country majoring in those critical

478
00:24:29,350 --> 00:24:26,799
fields

479
00:24:31,590 --> 00:24:29,360
the prestigious astronaut scholarship

480
00:24:33,110 --> 00:24:31,600
is known nationwide being among the

481

this is an exciting time here on the

537
00:27:13,990 --> 00:27:11,279
space coast as ksc has established

538
00:27:16,390 --> 00:27:14,000
itself as a true multi-user spaceport

539
00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:16,400
and nasa once again is preparing to

540
00:27:20,870 --> 00:27:19,440
explore beyond our home planet with sls

541
00:27:23,110 --> 00:27:20,880
and orion

542
00:27:25,350 --> 00:27:23,120
a lot's happened since the wheels came

543
00:27:28,470 --> 00:27:25,360
to a stop on atlantis back in july of

544
00:27:30,710 --> 00:27:28,480
2011 much has changed around here

545
00:27:33,430 --> 00:27:30,720
you know in all of human history

546
00:27:35,430 --> 00:27:33,440
only three nations have sent humans to

547
00:27:37,590 --> 00:27:35,440
space the united states russia and china

548
00:27:40,389 --> 00:27:37,600
but today here at the kennedy space

549
00:27:42,710 --> 00:27:40,399
center there are four united states

550
00:27:45,590 --> 00:27:42,720
companies building hardware and

551
00:27:46,950 --> 00:27:45,600
infrastructure to launch humans to orbit

552
00:27:48,789 --> 00:27:46,960
lockheed martin with the orion

553

it's time to begin the induction of the

595
00:29:34,549 --> 00:29:31,919
16th class of space shuttle astronauts

596
00:29:37,990 --> 00:29:34,559
into the u.s astronaut hall of fame

597
00:29:39,990 --> 00:29:38,000
the 2017 inductees were selected by a

598
00:29:42,470 --> 00:29:40,000
committee of current hall of fame

599
00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:42,480

specialist and must have orbited the

611
00:30:17,909 --> 00:30:14,240
earth at least once and made significant

612
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:17,919
contributions to the study of space

[Music]

614
00:31:07,990 --> 00:31:06,159
this is looking up at your rocket and uh

615
00:31:13,190 --> 00:31:08,000
this sends shivers down my spine every

616
00:31:16,549 --> 00:31:14,549
we can basically point it out of the

617
00:31:18,549 --> 00:31:16,559
window and pull the trigger and i get a

618
00:31:24,060 --> 00:31:18,559
readout on the back of it as to how far

619
00:31:38,950 --> 00:31:35,970

[Music]

622
00:31:52,310 --> 00:31:51,190
when we thought there was a collision

623
00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:52,320
imminent

624
00:31:55,430 --> 00:31:53,760
the thought in our minds was we are

625
00:31:57,029 --> 00:31:55,440
going to have to bail out then as it

626
00:31:59,590 --> 00:31:57,039
became apparent that it wasn't a

627
00:32:02,070 --> 00:31:59,600
devastating puncture of the hull of

628
00:32:04,950 --> 00:32:02,080
spectre module so we then proceeded to

629
00:32:05,750 --> 00:32:04,960
work together to clear cables and hold

630
00:32:07,909 --> 00:32:05,760
the

631
00:32:14,460 --> 00:32:07,919

00:33:21,509 --> 00:33:18,960
i really don't need to read any of this

635
00:33:24,630 --> 00:33:21,519
it's all but you saw it all

636
00:33:29,269 --> 00:33:24,640
a veteran of six space missions dr

637
00:33:31,990 --> 00:33:29,279
michael fall has spent more than 374

638
00:33:33,110 --> 00:33:32,000
days in space not hours

639
00:33:36,549 --> 00:33:33,120
days

640
00:33:39,350 --> 00:33:36,559
more than one year of his life in space

641
00:33:40,789 --> 00:33:39,360
let that sink in for a moment

642
00:33:43,669 --> 00:33:40,799
of that year

643
00:33:47,190 --> 00:33:43,679
nearly 23 hours were spent outside the

644
00:33:49,110 --> 00:33:47,200
spacecraft conducting spacewalks

645
00:33:50,789 --> 00:33:49,120
his track towards space travel began at

646
00:33:52,789 --> 00:33:50,799
the university of cambridge queens

647
00:33:55,029 --> 00:33:52,799
college where he earned his bachelor of

648
00:33:57,029 --> 00:33:55,039
arts in physics before moving on to

649
00:33:58,630 --> 00:33:57,039
complete a doctorate in laboratory

space program

654
00:34:09,190 --> 00:34:07,120
a job at mcdonald douglas working on

655
00:34:11,990 --> 00:34:09,200
space shuttle navigation led him to

656
00:34:14,470 --> 00:34:12,000
nasa's johnson space center to work as a

657
00:34:16,069 --> 00:34:14,480
payload officer in the mission control

658
00:34:18,869 --> 00:34:16,079
center

659
00:34:21,349 --> 00:34:18,879
four years later michael was selected as

660
00:34:24,149 --> 00:34:21,359
an astronaut candidate

661
00:34:27,510 --> 00:34:24,159
he flew for the first time aboard sts-45

662
00:34:29,669 --> 00:34:27,520
in 1992 the first of the atlas series

663
00:34:31,349 --> 00:34:29,679
missions to study the atmosphere and

664
00:34:34,069 --> 00:34:31,359
solar interactions

665
00:34:36,710 --> 00:34:34,079
the following year he flew on sts sts-56

666
00:34:39,270 --> 00:34:36,720
which carried the atlas 2 and spartan

667

sts-63

669
00:34:45,669 --> 00:34:42,720
marked the first rendezvous with the

670
00:34:48,790 --> 00:34:45,679
russian space station mir it was during

671
00:34:50,869 --> 00:34:48,800
this flight in 1995 that he made his

672
00:34:55,030 --> 00:34:50,879
first spacewalk

673
00:34:57,829 --> 00:34:55,040
he launched again on sts-84 in 1997 and

674
00:34:59,990 --> 00:34:57,839
joined the mir 23 crew

675
00:35:03,270 --> 00:35:00,000
conducting science experiments as well

676
00:35:05,670 --> 00:35:03,280
as a six-hour spacewalk to help repair

677
00:35:07,750 --> 00:35:05,680
mir following that collision with a

678
00:35:11,430 --> 00:35:07,760
progress resupply ship

679
00:35:14,710 --> 00:35:11,440
he spent a total of 145 days living

680
00:35:17,510 --> 00:35:14,720
aboard the russian space station

681
00:35:20,950 --> 00:35:17,520
two years later in 1999 michael was back

682
00:35:22,390 --> 00:35:20,960
in space having launched aboard sts-103

683
00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:22,400
the highlight of that mission was an

684
00:35:27,510 --> 00:35:24,800
eight-hour spacewalk to make repairs to

685
00:35:29,910 --> 00:35:27,520
the ailing hubble space telescope his

686
00:35:31,349 --> 00:35:29,920
final flight was aboard a soyuz rocket

687
00:35:33,510 --> 00:35:31,359
which took him to the international

688
00:35:35,230 --> 00:35:33,520
space station where he would spend an

689
00:35:40,150 --> 00:35:35,240
additional

690
00:35:43,270 --> 00:35:40,160
194 days and 18 hours living in space as

691
00:35:45,030 --> 00:35:43,280
commander of expedition 8.

692
00:35:46,950 --> 00:35:45,040
quite a career

693
00:35:48,550 --> 00:35:46,960
but that's not all no no no we're not

694
00:35:50,710 --> 00:35:48,560
done yet

695
00:35:53,190 --> 00:35:50,720
during his 30-year career with nasa dr

696
00:35:55,430 --> 00:35:53,200
fall has held numerous other positions

697
00:35:57,750 --> 00:35:55,440
there including assistant director

698
00:36:00,550 --> 00:35:57,760
technical of johnson space center and

699
00:36:03,270 --> 00:36:00,560
most recently chief of the soyuz branch

700
00:36:05,109 --> 00:36:03,280
astronaut office he retired from nasa in

701
00:36:08,150 --> 00:36:05,119
2013

702
00:36:10,829 --> 00:36:08,160
to pursue one of his passions developing

703
00:36:13,829 --> 00:36:10,839
eco-friendly aviation

704
00:36:17,750 --> 00:36:13,839
solutions among the many honors to his

705
00:36:21,030 --> 00:36:17,760
name in 2005 the queen awarded him

706
00:36:22,630 --> 00:36:21,040
commander of the most excellent order of

707
00:36:25,430 --> 00:36:22,640
the british empire

708
00:36:27,510 --> 00:36:25,440
that just sounds cool doesn't it

709
00:36:30,150 --> 00:36:27,520
this distinction rewarded his

710
00:36:33,589 --> 00:36:30,160
contribution to science and public

711
00:36:35,430 --> 00:36:33,599
service outside the civil service

712
00:36:37,270 --> 00:36:35,440
most excellent

713
00:36:39,589 --> 00:36:37,280
michael fall is the first person from

714
00:36:41,589 --> 00:36:39,599
the united kingdom to walk in space and

715
00:36:44,550 --> 00:36:41,599
still holds the cumulative time and

716
00:36:46,790 --> 00:36:44,560
space record for a british citizen

717
00:36:49,190 --> 00:36:46,800
he is also the only american citizen to

718
00:36:52,150 --> 00:36:49,200
have lived on both mir and the

719
00:36:54,710 --> 00:36:52,160
international space station although dr

720
00:36:57,829 --> 00:36:54,720
fall holds dual citizenship in both the

721
00:37:00,310 --> 00:36:57,839
united states and england the stars and

722
00:37:02,950 --> 00:37:00,320
stripes have always been displayed

723
00:37:06,150 --> 00:37:02,960
proudly on his flight suit

724
00:37:07,770 --> 00:37:06,160
ladies and gentlemen the most excellent

725
00:37:38,390 --> 00:37:07,780

726
00:37:41,829 --> 00:37:38,400
into the hall of fame

727
00:37:49,990 --> 00:37:41,839
astronaut and former nasa administrator

728
00:37:54,390 --> 00:37:51,750
it's uh quite a privilege and an honor

729
00:37:56,310 --> 00:37:54,400
for me to have to be here to uh

730
00:37:58,630 --> 00:37:56,320
introduce my dear friend colin michael

731

foale for induction as a member of the

732
00:38:03,910 --> 00:38:02,240
2017 class of the astronaut hall of fame

733
00:38:07,589 --> 00:38:03,920
as you've already heard a british-born

734
00:38:09,589 --> 00:38:07,599
astronaut mike retired from nasa in 2013

735
00:38:12,230 --> 00:38:09,599
following an amazing career that saw him

736
00:38:15,349 --> 00:38:12,240
fly on six space shuttle missions a sius

737
00:38:18,390 --> 00:38:15,359
and two space stations

738
00:38:20,630 --> 00:38:18,400
what did i say

739
00:38:22,310 --> 00:38:20,640
five shuttle missions one saw use and

740
00:38:23,990 --> 00:38:22,320
two space stations

741
00:38:25,670 --> 00:38:24,000
all right

742
00:38:27,349 --> 00:38:25,680
mike was an air cadet with the air

743
00:38:29,030 --> 00:38:27,359
training corps when he accepted an

744
00:38:30,150 --> 00:38:29,040
opportunity to work in the space shuttle

745
00:38:31,589 --> 00:38:30,160
program

746
00:38:33,670 --> 00:38:31,599
moving to houston to work with the

747
00:38:36,550 --> 00:38:33,680
orbiter's navigation system at mcdonnell

748
00:38:38,870 --> 00:38:36,560
douglas he later joined jsc's mission

749
00:38:42,230 --> 00:38:38,880
control mission operations directorate

750
00:38:44,390 --> 00:38:42,240
in 1983 working as a payload officer on

751
00:38:46,150 --> 00:38:44,400
four shuttle missions and this is when i

752
00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:46,160
first met michael because one of his

753
00:38:50,310 --> 00:38:47,760
shuttle missions that he worked was my

754
00:38:52,550 --> 00:38:50,320
first with sts-61c

755
00:38:55,109 --> 00:38:52,560
ever persistent mike saw his application

756
00:38:56,870 --> 00:38:55,119
to become an astronaut rejected twice

757
00:38:59,510 --> 00:38:56,880
before being selected to join astronaut

758
00:39:02,470 --> 00:38:59,520
corps in 1987. kathy sullivan asked me

759
00:39:04,069 --> 00:39:02,480
to remind you that uh your persistence

760
00:39:05,589 --> 00:39:04,079
in getting into the astronaut office was

761
00:39:08,870 --> 00:39:05,599
like your persistence in trying to beat

762
00:39:10,870 --> 00:39:08,880
her in racket in uh squash which you

763
00:39:13,510 --> 00:39:10,880
finally did a number of times

764
00:39:14,710 --> 00:39:13,520
mike's first flight was as ms3

765
00:39:18,069 --> 00:39:14,720
hey

766
00:39:19,589 --> 00:39:18,079
on sts-45 atlas one nasa's first mission

767
00:39:21,109 --> 00:39:19,599
to planet earth

768
00:39:23,430 --> 00:39:21,119
although mike's nasa career was

769
00:39:26,710 --> 00:39:23,440
extraordinary in the breadth of his

770
00:39:28,710 --> 00:39:26,720
flight experiences his cool under stress

771
00:39:31,910 --> 00:39:28,720
was brilliantly demonstrated during his

772
00:39:34,550 --> 00:39:31,920
mir 2324 mission when a russian progress

773
00:39:36,550 --> 00:39:34,560
supply resupply vehicle crashed into the

774
00:39:39,109 --> 00:39:36,560
mir station during a manually controlled

775
00:39:40,950 --> 00:39:39,119
redocking test of the progress

776
00:39:42,790 --> 00:39:40,960
while his russian crewmates inspected

777
00:39:43,990 --> 00:39:42,800
for collision damage to the inside of

778
00:39:45,990 --> 00:39:44,000
the station

779
00:39:48,230 --> 00:39:46,000
mike used his expertise in physics to

780
00:39:50,150 --> 00:39:48,240
aid the russian ground controllers in

781
00:39:52,870 --> 00:39:50,160
correcting the attitude misalignments

782
00:39:55,109 --> 00:39:52,880
that had resulted from the collision he

783
00:39:56,550 --> 00:39:55,119
later joined russian mission commander

784
00:39:57,589 --> 00:39:56,560
anatoly

785
00:40:00,069 --> 00:39:57,599
solyev

786
00:40:03,750 --> 00:40:00,079
to conduct a six-hour eva in a russian

787
00:40:06,309 --> 00:40:03,760
orlan space suit to inspect the exterior

788
00:40:07,349 --> 00:40:06,319
damage to mir's spectre module

789
00:40:13,190 --> 00:40:07,359
as

790
00:40:15,589 --> 00:40:13,200
american to serve on both mir and iss

791
00:40:18,710 --> 00:40:15,599
in night in october of 2003 when he

792
00:40:20,870 --> 00:40:18,720
launched aboard sy used tma-3 to the iss

793
00:40:22,710 --> 00:40:20,880
as a member of expedition 8.

794
00:40:24,870 --> 00:40:22,720
we all know mike for his exceptional

795
00:40:27,589 --> 00:40:24,880
record of performance as a member of

796
00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:27,599
nasa's astronaut corps but in my mind

797
00:40:31,670 --> 00:40:29,680
the true measure of the man is the mark

798
00:40:35,670 --> 00:40:31,680
he leaves on his children

799
00:40:40,309 --> 00:40:37,589
in their absence

800
00:40:42,150 --> 00:40:40,319
so i'd like to wind up my introduction

801
00:40:43,349 --> 00:40:42,160
with a few remarks provided by his

802
00:40:45,270 --> 00:40:43,359
daughter jenna

803
00:40:48,230 --> 00:40:45,280
now a research assistant at cambridge

804
00:40:49,990 --> 00:40:48,240
university set to begin her phd work on

805
00:40:53,349 --> 00:40:50,000
jet engine combustion mathematical

806
00:40:55,109 --> 00:40:53,359
simulation in october his son ian

807
00:40:57,190 --> 00:40:55,119

university of houston clear lake and his

809
00:41:02,309 --> 00:40:59,760
wife rhonda who is here with us now

810
00:41:03,990 --> 00:41:02,319
absorbed in geology and art jenna

811
00:41:06,550 --> 00:41:04,000
recalled and i quote

812
00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:06,560
daddy on the mirror had the reputation

813
00:41:10,710 --> 00:41:08,560
of being macgyver

814
00:41:12,630 --> 00:41:10,720
christened by the mission control team

815
00:41:15,270 --> 00:41:12,640
from the tv character

816
00:41:17,430 --> 00:41:15,280
he could fix anything and think his way

817
00:41:18,630 --> 00:41:17,440
through difficult situations when in

818
00:41:20,390 --> 00:41:18,640
cambridge

819
00:41:22,470 --> 00:41:20,400
jenna's bike

820
00:41:25,750 --> 00:41:22,480
light doesn't work oh

821
00:41:28,870 --> 00:41:25,760
hand it to me pops it apart fiddles with

822
00:41:30,950 --> 00:41:28,880
the circuitry pops back in two minutes

823
00:41:33,430 --> 00:41:30,960
same with house porch lights

824
00:41:34,630 --> 00:41:33,440
wears a screwdriver fixes circuitry in

825
00:41:37,190 --> 00:41:34,640
three minutes

826
00:41:39,109 --> 00:41:37,200
jenna and her boyfriend kai

827
00:41:40,870 --> 00:41:39,119
came over to have dinner and get their

828
00:41:42,470 --> 00:41:40,880
bicycles fixed

829
00:41:44,550 --> 00:41:42,480
plumbing problem in grandma's house

830
00:41:47,430 --> 00:41:44,560
being new fixtures

831
00:41:49,910 --> 00:41:47,440
still macgyver unquote

832
00:41:53,750 --> 00:41:49,920
ian remembered and i quote daddy taught

833
00:41:55,750 --> 00:41:53,760
me binary at age eight

834
00:41:58,390 --> 00:41:55,760
he sat me down more recently and said

835
00:42:00,950 --> 00:41:58,400
let's learn some python programming

836
00:42:03,349 --> 00:42:00,960
his physics and hard science background

837
00:42:04,470 --> 00:42:03,359
has made him amazing at learning new

838
00:42:06,390 --> 00:42:04,480
things

839
00:42:08,470 --> 00:42:06,400
he looked at jenna's thesis material

840
00:42:09,829 --> 00:42:08,480
using cutting edge computational fluid

841
00:42:11,670 --> 00:42:09,839
dynamics

842
00:42:14,790 --> 00:42:11,680
learned the programming system himself

843
00:42:17,670 --> 00:42:14,800
and immediately subcontracted to jpl to

844
00:42:18,710 --> 00:42:17,680
develop an advanced rocket engine system

845
00:42:21,109 --> 00:42:18,720
ah

846
00:42:23,910 --> 00:42:21,119

and i quote mike has found a very happy

848
00:42:28,870 --> 00:42:26,640
niche in our tiny town in colorado with

849
00:42:30,950 --> 00:42:28,880
an intense spectrum of people

850
00:42:32,950 --> 00:42:30,960
he can be a mad scientist

851
00:42:35,270 --> 00:42:32,960
working on favorite software and

852
00:42:36,950 --> 00:42:35,280
aerospace projects and he can do some

853
00:42:37,910 --> 00:42:36,960
rocket engine testing in the mojave

854
00:42:40,550 --> 00:42:37,920
desert

855
00:42:42,710 --> 00:42:40,560
he inspires high school and university

856
00:42:44,950 --> 00:42:42,720
students as well as the public in

857
00:42:45,829 --> 00:42:44,960
science and engineering in europe and

858
00:42:49,430 --> 00:42:45,839
asia

859
00:42:51,750 --> 00:42:49,440
he sits in the tiny colorado coffee shop

860
00:42:53,430 --> 00:42:51,760
with gaggles of teenagers having

861
00:42:55,270 --> 00:42:53,440
personal conversations and giving

862
00:42:58,550 --> 00:42:55,280
educational guidance

863
00:43:01,030 --> 00:42:58,560
he has also given me great i.t support

864
00:43:03,190 --> 00:43:01,040
in putting my film clip intensive

865
00:43:04,309 --> 00:43:03,200
geology presentations together for the

866
00:43:07,910 --> 00:43:04,319
public

867
00:43:09,190 --> 00:43:07,920

unquote

869
00:43:13,670 --> 00:43:11,280
in my farewell comments on mike's

870
00:43:16,390 --> 00:43:13,680
retirement from nasa i can remember i

871
00:43:18,470 --> 00:43:16,400
wrote and it was sort of like this

872
00:43:20,230 --> 00:43:18,480
we salute mike and his contributions to

873
00:43:21,589 --> 00:43:20,240
nasa as an accomplished member of the

874
00:43:23,349 --> 00:43:21,599
astronaut corps

875
00:43:25,190 --> 00:43:23,359
starting with his first flight shuttle

876
00:43:28,069 --> 00:43:25,200
mission sts-45

877
00:43:30,230 --> 00:43:28,079
and when we flew together in 1992

878
00:43:32,950 --> 00:43:30,240
mike has worked tirelessly to support

879
00:43:33,829 --> 00:43:32,960
nasa's quest to explore the unknown

880
00:43:35,910 --> 00:43:33,839

891
00:44:42,150 --> 00:44:40,150
i returned yesterday from uh the uk

892
00:44:45,829 --> 00:44:42,160
because my mum died

893
00:44:51,190 --> 00:44:49,270
but the good the happy part of this is

894
00:44:52,710 --> 00:44:51,200
she died in cambridge

895
00:44:57,349 --> 00:44:52,720
before she died

896
00:44:59,829 --> 00:44:58,630
and it was going to it's a great honor

897
00:45:00,950 --> 00:44:59,839
for me

898
00:45:03,349 --> 00:45:00,960
from

899
00:45:05,829 --> 00:45:03,359
my predecessors my peers

900
00:45:08,069 --> 00:45:05,839
and my colleagues who are here today and

901
00:45:10,150 --> 00:45:08,079
around me so thank you

902
00:45:14,790 --> 00:45:10,160
really on behalf of my mom and for me

903
00:45:19,190 --> 00:45:16,470
my journey

904
00:45:20,309 --> 00:45:19,200
to this day i guess um began when i was

905
00:45:22,230 --> 00:45:20,319
born

906
00:45:25,349 --> 00:45:22,240
um but

907
00:45:33,349 --> 00:45:29,270
when mom mary my mother as a u.s citizen

908
00:45:35,589 --> 00:45:33,359
decided to take a vacation to the uk

909
00:45:37,430 --> 00:45:35,599
and she met a royal air force pilot my

910
00:45:39,670 --> 00:45:37,440
father colin

911
00:45:42,470 --> 00:45:39,680
and she asked him for a light that's how

912
00:45:44,390 --> 00:45:42,480
they did it in those days

913
00:45:50,630 --> 00:45:44,400
and i came along about well more than

914
00:45:53,990 --> 00:45:52,150
mothers are you know my mother was

915
00:45:55,430 --> 00:45:54,000
actually my dad was the hero pilot and

916
00:45:57,750 --> 00:45:55,440
obviously i was very very impressed by

917
00:45:59,349 --> 00:45:57,760
the flying and the noise and the

918
00:46:02,470 --> 00:45:59,359
contribution to global warming that he

919
00:46:05,589 --> 00:46:02,480
was making with his aircraft

920
00:46:07,670 --> 00:46:05,599
but it was mama at in minnesota in at

921
00:46:09,829 --> 00:46:07,680
the minneapolis saint paul it was the

922
00:46:10,790 --> 00:46:09,839
world state fair

923
00:46:13,270 --> 00:46:10,800
uh

924
00:46:15,109 --> 00:46:13,280
john glenn one of our first

925
00:46:17,270 --> 00:46:15,119
heroes of this

926
00:46:19,670 --> 00:46:17,280
assembly

927
00:46:20,950 --> 00:46:19,680
his capsule was right there friendship

928
00:46:22,870 --> 00:46:20,960
seven in front of me and i was a little

929
00:46:24,230 --> 00:46:22,880
six-year-old boy

930
00:46:26,470 --> 00:46:24,240
and uh

931
00:46:28,390 --> 00:46:26,480
you know parents always work hard to set

932
00:46:30,550 --> 00:46:28,400
the bit in the child's brain

933
00:46:32,870 --> 00:46:30,560
and my mother said to me michael would

934
00:46:34,470 --> 00:46:32,880
you like to be an astronaut you could

935
00:46:36,470 --> 00:46:34,480
fly in that

936
00:46:39,910 --> 00:46:36,480
and to me it looked a bit like a charred

937
00:46:45,589 --> 00:46:42,390
but i i kind of looked up to the ceiling

938
00:46:47,430 --> 00:46:45,599
no kidding it really is a space shuttle

939
00:46:48,870 --> 00:46:47,440
but what i looked up to was a model of

940
00:46:50,470 --> 00:46:48,880
one

941
00:46:52,309 --> 00:46:50,480
and i think it may have been something

942
00:46:54,790 --> 00:46:52,319
like a dinosaur or something like that

943
00:46:56,550 --> 00:46:54,800
but it was i looked at that and i said

944
00:47:02,069 --> 00:46:56,560
well maybe i'd like to fly in that one

945
00:47:06,150 --> 00:47:03,829
my first visit to the johnson space

946
00:47:08,470 --> 00:47:06,160
center was in 1982

947
00:47:10,950 --> 00:47:08,480
and i met bob crippen

948
00:47:12,309 --> 00:47:10,960
and of course was a complete hero

949
00:47:15,270 --> 00:47:12,319
for any

950
00:47:18,150 --> 00:47:15,280
want to be astronaut

951
00:47:19,829 --> 00:47:18,160
and i was in the mcc i think being shown

952
00:47:21,510 --> 00:47:19,839
uh where i would work as a payload

953
00:47:22,549 --> 00:47:21,520
officer maybe

954
00:47:25,190 --> 00:47:22,559
one day

955
00:47:27,030 --> 00:47:25,200
and crypt just came down the aisle

956
00:47:30,150 --> 00:47:27,040
and uh he saw me i was

957
00:47:32,710 --> 00:47:30,160
completely tongue-tied i was frozen

958
00:47:35,910 --> 00:47:32,720
and he with his graciousness his smile

959
00:47:37,750 --> 00:47:35,920
his charm uh made me feel at ease

960
00:47:38,549 --> 00:47:37,760
and i've learned to understand that that

961
00:47:41,190 --> 00:47:38,559
is

962
00:47:42,470 --> 00:47:41,200
one of the fantastic qualities of the uh

963
00:47:45,270 --> 00:47:42,480
the colleagues that i have in the

964
00:47:46,950 --> 00:47:45,280
astronaut office

965
00:47:48,549 --> 00:47:46,960
dan brandenstein

966
00:47:52,390 --> 00:47:48,559
um

967
00:47:54,069 --> 00:47:52,400
assigned me to my first flight sts-45

968
00:47:57,349 --> 00:47:54,079
um

969
00:48:00,230 --> 00:47:57,359
which i'm grateful dan

970
00:48:02,150 --> 00:48:00,240
but he gave me an even greater gift

971
00:48:04,150 --> 00:48:02,160
and that was charlie bolden as my first

972
00:48:07,030 --> 00:48:04,160
commander

973
00:48:08,309 --> 00:48:07,040
of atlas one

974
00:48:10,549 --> 00:48:08,319
charlie

975
00:48:12,710 --> 00:48:10,559
has become my model

976
00:48:14,630 --> 00:48:12,720
on how to respect

977
00:48:18,069 --> 00:48:14,640
other people

978
00:48:19,910 --> 00:48:18,079
how to listen to issues

979
00:48:21,670 --> 00:48:19,920
and how to make decisions to resolve

980
00:48:23,510 --> 00:48:21,680
them truly

981
00:48:25,190 --> 00:48:23,520
he is my model for leadership

982
00:48:27,589 --> 00:48:25,200
followership and all the other things

983
00:48:30,309 --> 00:48:27,599
that go on in making a team work so

984
00:48:32,069 --> 00:48:30,319
thank you charlie

985
00:48:33,750 --> 00:48:32,079
ellen ochoa i don't know if she's even

986
00:48:36,549 --> 00:48:33,760
here i think she may think i'm going on

987
00:48:41,190 --> 00:48:39,829
and i had great fun on sts 56

988
00:48:42,950 --> 00:48:41,200
trying to take a while and i just

989
00:48:45,750 --> 00:48:42,960
remember taking a well-exposed image of

990
00:48:47,510 --> 00:48:46,710
against

991
00:48:51,430 --> 00:48:47,520
the

992
00:48:53,030 --> 00:48:51,440
flute which was really quite remarkable

993
00:48:55,030 --> 00:48:53,040
for our crew

994
00:48:59,510 --> 00:48:55,040
jim weatherby is here and uh he

995
00:49:01,190 --> 00:48:59,520
impressed me enormously on sts-63

996
00:49:04,069 --> 00:49:01,200
basically managing a complete change in

997
00:49:05,109 --> 00:49:04,079
our flight plan when we added vladimir

998
00:49:06,870 --> 00:49:05,119
ttov

999
00:49:10,150 --> 00:49:06,880
from russia

1000
00:49:12,150 --> 00:49:10,160
and we were redirected to fly up to

1001
00:49:14,630 --> 00:49:12,160
the russian mir station

1002
00:49:17,750 --> 00:49:14,640
to basically go look at it but not touch

1003
00:49:19,829 --> 00:49:17,760
it at least at not that time

1004
00:49:23,030 --> 00:49:19,839
and then at that point in my career

1005
00:49:24,950 --> 00:49:23,040
everything went russian on me um

1006
00:49:26,549 --> 00:49:24,960
not entirely to my liking i have to be

1007
00:49:28,950 --> 00:49:26,559
honest

1008
00:49:30,950 --> 00:49:28,960
ronda my kids rhonda's in the audience

1009
00:49:33,190 --> 00:49:30,960
here you've heard that and janna and ian

1010
00:49:35,109 --> 00:49:33,200
who are small then were brilliant taking

1011
00:49:37,670 --> 00:49:35,119
on the ordeal of living in

1012
00:49:39,430 --> 00:49:37,680
star city for 15 months

1013
00:49:41,430 --> 00:49:39,440
and i often show a picture of little

1014
00:49:43,430 --> 00:49:41,440
janna in the middle of the kindergarten

1015
00:49:45,030 --> 00:49:43,440
the jetski sud surrounded by all the

1016
00:49:46,710 --> 00:49:45,040
little russian kids they're not all

1017
00:49:48,549 --> 00:49:46,720
being rude but they aren't talking to

1018
00:49:50,390 --> 00:49:48,559
her and it was all because she wasn't

1019
00:49:52,549 --> 00:49:50,400
speaking russian and

1020
00:49:54,630 --> 00:49:52,559
they couldn't speak english but they

1021
00:49:57,430 --> 00:49:54,640
they grew to be friends

1022
00:50:00,069 --> 00:49:57,440
the journey to mir

1023
00:50:01,670 --> 00:50:00,079
on sts-84 that charlie pre-court eileen

1024
00:50:04,630 --> 00:50:01,680
collins were the pilot commander and

1025
00:50:05,510 --> 00:50:04,640
pilot was a great shuttle crew

1026
00:50:11,109 --> 00:50:05,520
but

1027
00:50:14,230 --> 00:50:11,119
who i had not really met until i came to

1028
00:50:16,710 --> 00:50:14,240
the u.s to launch on that atlantis from

1029
00:50:21,510 --> 00:50:19,430
she basically felt the

1030
00:50:23,349 --> 00:50:21,520
the integration need i had to join the

1031
00:50:25,589 --> 00:50:23,359
sts-84 crew because i've been in russia

1032
00:50:27,910 --> 00:50:25,599
for so long and she also understood my

1033
00:50:29,109 --> 00:50:27,920
struggle and my my anxiety about living

1034
00:50:30,870 --> 00:50:29,119
on the mirror

1035
00:50:32,309 --> 00:50:30,880
with two russian guys

1036
00:50:34,470 --> 00:50:32,319
knowing i would have to speak russian to

1037
00:50:35,990 --> 00:50:34,480
really make friends and there are

1038
00:50:37,109 --> 00:50:36,000
astronauts in the audience who know that

1039
00:50:39,030 --> 00:50:37,119
feeling

1040
00:50:40,630 --> 00:50:39,040
and she was struggling with english and

1041
00:50:42,549 --> 00:50:40,640
so which she helped me

1042
00:50:45,109 --> 00:50:42,559
get ready psychologically to be on the

1043
00:50:47,030 --> 00:50:45,119
mirror station for five months

1044
00:50:49,349 --> 00:50:47,040
uh that mission i thought was just going

1045
00:50:51,270 --> 00:50:49,359
to be a kind of a ho-hum for me

1046
00:50:53,109 --> 00:50:51,280
research mission

1047
00:50:56,309 --> 00:50:53,119
but it wasn't and the the progress

1048
00:50:58,150 --> 00:50:56,319
collision the depressurization

1049
00:51:00,069 --> 00:50:58,160
the loss of power

1050
00:51:02,069 --> 00:51:00,079
and attitude control

1051
00:51:04,230 --> 00:51:02,079
i'd describe it as tumbling but frank

1052
00:51:05,750 --> 00:51:04,240
corbison doesn't think it's the same

1053
00:51:09,349 --> 00:51:05,760
um

1054
00:51:10,790 --> 00:51:09,359
followed by various attempts of recovery

1055
00:51:11,910 --> 00:51:10,800
turned that mission into the most

1056
00:51:14,230 --> 00:51:11,920
eventful

1057
00:51:15,990 --> 00:51:14,240
and uh i think to some extent

1058
00:51:18,390 --> 00:51:16,000
because of the camaraderie i developed

1059
00:51:21,349 --> 00:51:18,400
with vasilis sublev and alexander

1060
00:51:23,430 --> 00:51:21,359
lazukin sasha it became one of the

1061
00:51:25,510 --> 00:51:23,440
most rewarding experiences in a weird

1062
00:51:30,069 --> 00:51:25,520
and odd way even though

1063
00:51:33,910 --> 00:51:32,150
kurt brown

1064
00:51:36,230 --> 00:51:33,920
is here today and

1065
00:51:39,270 --> 00:51:36,240
he helped make me american again not

1066
00:51:42,950 --> 00:51:39,280
that i could speak it but

1067
00:51:45,270 --> 00:51:42,960
he he led our crew on sts-103

1068
00:51:46,950 --> 00:51:45,280
to basically repair hubble

1069
00:51:48,790 --> 00:51:46,960
put it back to life

1070
00:51:52,710 --> 00:51:48,800
right before that

1071
00:51:55,670 --> 00:51:52,720
that overrated climax called y2k

1072
00:51:57,750 --> 00:51:55,680
uh over christmas of 1999 and we managed

1073
00:51:59,510 --> 00:51:57,760
to complete the repairs and the upgrade

1074
00:52:02,069 --> 00:51:59,520
of the computer

1075
00:52:05,670 --> 00:52:02,079
and then colombia happened so

1076
00:52:07,910 --> 00:52:05,680
happiness and sadness in our program

1077
00:52:09,190 --> 00:52:07,920
and i was back in russia again and it's

1078
00:52:10,710 --> 00:52:09,200
thanks to

1079
00:52:12,470 --> 00:52:10,720
rommel where is he yeah somewhere over

1080
00:52:13,829 --> 00:52:12,480
there he called me up and said hey mike

1081
00:52:17,030 --> 00:52:13,839
guess what

1082
00:52:18,790 --> 00:52:17,040
and uh i was launched to the iss

1083
00:52:22,630 --> 00:52:18,800
on expedition 8 with

1084
00:52:24,950 --> 00:52:22,640
alexander kaleri to stay for six months

1085
00:52:27,109 --> 00:52:24,960
and i've got to say thank you to nasa to

1086
00:52:30,470 --> 00:52:27,119
mcc houston in particular

1087
00:52:32,630 --> 00:52:30,480
who were supportive and superb in

1088
00:52:35,510 --> 00:52:32,640
kind of making my at least i won't speak

1089
00:52:37,910 --> 00:52:35,520
for sasha lonely situation um much

1090
00:52:39,829 --> 00:52:37,920
better than it it might have been as we

1091
00:52:43,190 --> 00:52:39,839
were just two two crew members uh

1092
00:52:44,470 --> 00:52:43,200
looking after the iss for six months

1093
00:52:46,630 --> 00:52:44,480
so yes

1094
00:52:49,109 --> 00:52:46,640
i think i have been amazingly fortunate

1095
00:52:51,670 --> 00:52:49,119
to have had such a varied career

1096
00:52:53,910 --> 00:52:51,680

space walkers around the station

1169
00:58:34,789 --> 00:58:31,680
marking the first time that the arm had

1170
00:58:36,549 --> 00:58:34,799
ever been used to transport astronauts

1171
00:58:39,270 --> 00:58:36,559
on spacewalk

1172

masters of science and doctorate in

1181
00:59:04,069 --> 00:59:01,920
electrical engineering from stanford

1182
00:59:06,870 --> 00:59:04,079
university with her doctoral and

1183
00:59:10,470 --> 00:59:06,880
postdoctoral research focusing on

1184
00:59:12,630 --> 00:59:10,480
optical information processing

1185
00:59:15,270 --> 00:59:12,640
dr ochoa is also a member of the

1186
00:59:17,510 --> 00:59:15,280
national science board and chairs the

1187
00:59:20,069 --> 00:59:17,520
nomination evaluation committee for the

1188
00:59:21,349 --> 00:59:20,079
national medal of technology and

1189
00:59:23,430 --> 00:59:21,359
innovation

1190
00:59:25,990 --> 00:59:23,440
she has received numerous awards

1191
00:59:28,390 --> 00:59:26,000
including nasa's highest award the

1192
00:59:30,470 --> 00:59:28,400
distinguished service medal

1193
00:59:33,829 --> 00:59:30,480
perhaps more importantly she has the

1194
00:59:37,589 --> 00:59:33,839
distinction of having six schools named

1195
00:59:39,190 --> 00:59:37,599
after her in texas oklahoma california

1196
00:59:41,990 --> 00:59:39,200
and washington state

1197
00:59:43,510 --> 00:59:42,000
inspiring countless young people all

1198
00:59:45,829 --> 00:59:43,520
over the country

1199
00:59:48,950 --> 00:59:45,839
to reach for the stars

1200
00:59:50,180 --> 00:59:48,960
ladies and gentlemen astronaut ellen

1201
01:00:16,170 --> 00:59:50,190
ochoa

1202
01:00:24,950 --> 01:00:16,180
hall of fame astronaut michael coats

1203
01:00:30,549 --> 01:00:26,549
thank you john

1204
01:00:33,109 --> 01:00:30,559
i'd like to congratulate mike and ellen

1205
01:00:35,589 --> 01:00:33,119
the astronaut hall of fame was created

1206
01:00:37,829 --> 01:00:35,599
to recognize extraordinary individuals

1207
01:00:39,829 --> 01:00:37,839
such as these two

1208
01:00:41,910 --> 01:00:39,839
both of you are wonderful role models

1209
01:00:44,150 --> 01:00:41,920
for our young people and you honor us

1210
01:00:46,549 --> 01:00:44,160
with your presence

1211
01:00:50,150 --> 01:00:46,559
i first met ellen when i was a member of

1212
01:00:53,349 --> 01:00:50,160
the astronaut selection board in 1990

1213
01:00:54,950 --> 01:00:53,359
that chose her class of astronauts

1214
01:00:58,710 --> 01:00:54,960
in all modesty

1215
01:01:05,990 --> 01:01:00,789
her class is arguably the second best

1216
01:01:11,270 --> 01:01:07,349
apparently there's some disagreement

1217
01:01:13,990 --> 01:01:11,280
over which was second best but

1218
01:01:15,829 --> 01:01:14,000
during the selection board discussions

1219
01:01:18,069 --> 01:01:15,839
the director of flight crew operations

1220
01:01:19,990 --> 01:01:18,079
don putty

1221
01:01:22,630 --> 01:01:20,000
asked us to remind him where ellen had

1222
01:01:24,950 --> 01:01:22,640
gone to school

1223
01:01:27,750 --> 01:01:24,960
i said she got her phd in electrical

1224
01:01:30,390 --> 01:01:27,760
engineering from stanford

1225
01:01:33,750 --> 01:01:30,400
with a smile on his face don said isn't

1226
01:01:36,470 --> 01:01:33,760
that where jim plunkett went to school

1227
01:01:39,750 --> 01:01:36,480
and i said yes and he said

1228
01:01:41,190 --> 01:01:39,760
and jim plunkett won the heisman trophy

1229
01:01:43,510 --> 01:01:41,200
and i said yes

1230
01:01:48,069 --> 01:01:43,520
and don said so stanford is a jock

1231
01:01:50,829 --> 01:01:49,589
i said do you have something against

1232
01:01:53,750 --> 01:01:50,839
jock

1233
01:01:58,630 --> 01:01:53,760
schools and don's answer was oh no not

1234
01:02:01,990 --> 01:02:00,549
so just think ellen if you had gone to

1235
01:02:06,630 --> 01:02:02,000
oklahoma maybe you could have made

1236
01:02:10,950 --> 01:02:08,789
now england is obvious obviously one of

1237
01:02:13,109 --> 01:02:10,960
the best and the brightest that this

1238
01:02:15,190 --> 01:02:13,119
nation can produce

1239
01:02:16,950 --> 01:02:15,200
but what really impressed those of us on

1240
01:02:19,270 --> 01:02:16,960
the selection board

1241
01:02:23,029 --> 01:02:19,280
and has impressed me ever since

1242
01:02:24,870 --> 01:02:23,039
is her coolness and poise under pressure

1243
01:02:27,430 --> 01:02:24,880
whether it's the time critical and

1244
01:02:28,870 --> 01:02:27,440
complex operations during her four space

1245
01:02:31,670 --> 01:02:28,880
shuttle missions

1246
01:02:33,829 --> 01:02:31,680
or testifying before congress

1247
01:02:35,510 --> 01:02:33,839
or deliberating over difficult personnel

1248
01:02:37,670 --> 01:02:35,520
decisions

1249
01:02:40,710 --> 01:02:37,680
ellen is always thoughtful

1250
01:02:42,710 --> 01:02:40,720
well informed and decisive

1251
01:02:45,349 --> 01:02:42,720
her outstanding leadership skills have

1252
01:02:47,829 --> 01:02:45,359
benefited our space program during some

1253
01:02:51,670 --> 01:02:47,839
very turbulent times and hopefully we'll

1254
01:02:53,670 --> 01:02:51,680
continue to do so for many years to come

1255
01:02:55,349 --> 01:02:53,680
a few years ago

1256
01:02:59,349 --> 01:02:55,359
when the deputy director of the johnson

1257
01:03:02,789 --> 01:02:59,359
space center some guy named bob cabana

1258
01:03:05,750 --> 01:03:02,799
deserted me

1259
01:03:08,870 --> 01:03:05,760
to go back east somewhere

1260
01:03:11,029 --> 01:03:08,880
i had to pick a new deputy director

1261
01:03:12,710 --> 01:03:11,039
replacing bob wasn't easy he had big

1262
01:03:15,430 --> 01:03:12,720
shoes to fill

1263
01:03:17,829 --> 01:03:15,440
but fortunately jsc had a host of well

1264
01:03:19,910 --> 01:03:17,839
qualified candidates

1265
01:03:23,589 --> 01:03:19,920
at the top of my list was our director

1266
01:03:25,910 --> 01:03:23,599
of flight crew operations ellen ochoa

1267
01:03:28,470 --> 01:03:25,920
when i asked her if she'd like to become

1268
01:03:33,109 --> 01:03:28,480
the jsc deputy director

1269
01:03:36,549 --> 01:03:35,029
now i don't know if co

1270
01:03:38,710 --> 01:03:36,559
and jordan or wilson know what i'm

1271
01:03:41,589 --> 01:03:38,720
talking about

1272
01:03:43,589 --> 01:03:41,599
apparently they do

1273
01:03:45,430 --> 01:03:43,599
but she didn't say a word

1274
01:03:47,190 --> 01:03:45,440
she just stared at me

1275
01:03:50,470 --> 01:03:47,200
with a look that could have stopped

1276
01:03:52,789 --> 01:03:50,480
global warming and its tracks

1277
01:03:56,309 --> 01:03:52,799
she was obviously thinking very hard

1278
01:04:00,150 --> 01:03:56,319
about how to decline my offer tactfully

1279
01:04:04,789 --> 01:04:01,990
it immediately dawned on me that i had

1280
01:04:07,190 --> 01:04:04,799
miscalculated and i quickly said

1281
01:04:09,430 --> 01:04:07,200
let me rephrase that question

1282
01:04:16,710 --> 01:04:09,440
congratulations you are now the new jsc

1283
01:04:20,069 --> 01:04:18,390
she had been quite happy as a director

1284
01:04:21,430 --> 01:04:20,079
of flight cooperation

1285
01:04:23,190 --> 01:04:21,440
but sometimes you have to make

1286
01:04:25,190 --> 01:04:23,200
sacrifices for the good of the space

1287
01:04:27,990 --> 01:04:25,200
program

1288
01:04:29,510 --> 01:04:28,000
as the jsc deputy director just as bob

1289
01:04:31,750 --> 01:04:29,520
cabana had done

1290
01:04:32,789 --> 01:04:31,760
she made my job as director so much

1291
01:04:34,309 --> 01:04:32,799
easier

1292
01:04:37,589 --> 01:04:34,319
for which i was

1293
01:04:40,150 --> 01:04:37,599
and will always be eternally grateful

1294
01:04:41,670 --> 01:04:40,160
when it came time for me to retire nasa

1295
01:04:43,510 --> 01:04:41,680
administrator charlie bolden was

1296
01:04:46,870 --> 01:04:43,520
gracious enough to ask me for a

1297
01:04:48,549 --> 01:04:46,880
recommendation from my successor

1298
01:04:50,549 --> 01:04:48,559
i didn't hesitate to tell him ellen

1299
01:04:52,630 --> 01:04:50,559
would be a terrific choice

1300
01:04:55,109 --> 01:04:52,640
and he said yeah i kind of thought you'd

1301
01:04:57,270 --> 01:04:55,119
say that and i agree completely

1302
01:05:01,029 --> 01:04:57,280
he then gave me the very great honor of

1303
01:05:02,630 --> 01:05:01,039
announcing ellen as my successor

1304
01:05:04,710 --> 01:05:02,640
as a veteran of four space shuttle

1305
01:05:07,430 --> 01:05:04,720
missions and of course as the 11th

1306
01:05:09,589 --> 01:05:07,440
director of the johnson space center

1307
01:05:11,910 --> 01:05:09,599
ellen's accomplishments are many

1308
01:05:13,349 --> 01:05:11,920
including having six schools named after

1309
01:05:16,789 --> 01:05:13,359
her

1310
01:05:18,870 --> 01:05:16,799
accomplishments

1311
01:05:22,950 --> 01:05:18,880
is that she married a man who likes to

1312
01:05:28,390 --> 01:05:25,510
ko is a successful lawyer but he's also

1313
01:05:36,870 --> 01:05:30,230
perhaps we should create a hall of fame

1314
01:05:42,789 --> 01:05:40,069
i think i got a second on that

1315
01:05:45,670 --> 01:05:42,799
it now gives me a great deal of pleasure

1316
01:05:48,870 --> 01:05:45,680
to induct one of our nation's finest dr

1317
01:05:50,390 --> 01:05:48,880
ellen ochoa into the astronaut hall of

1318
01:06:11,920 --> 01:05:50,400
fame

1319
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:11,930
[Applause]

1320
01:06:35,430 --> 01:06:21,690
[Music]

1321
01:06:42,069 --> 01:06:37,349
well thank you very much dan and of

1322
01:06:44,230 --> 01:06:42,079
course to you mike and in my defense

1323
01:06:45,910 --> 01:06:44,240
i had been director of flight crew ops

1324
01:06:47,750 --> 01:06:45,920
less than a year and i just felt i had

1325
01:06:49,510 --> 01:06:47,760
so much more to learn and grow into that

1326
01:06:51,829 --> 01:06:49,520
job before stepping up into the big

1327
01:06:55,750 --> 01:06:51,839
shoes that bob had just left that was

1328
01:06:57,510 --> 01:06:55,760
the only reason for that hesitation

1329
01:06:58,789 --> 01:06:57,520
among the many things i'm grateful for

1330
01:07:00,549 --> 01:06:58,799
is the opportunity to have worked

1331
01:07:02,549 --> 01:07:00,559
closely with you

1332
01:07:04,710 --> 01:07:02,559
when i was your deputy for several years

1333
01:07:06,870 --> 01:07:04,720
and and not only did i learn a lot about

1334
01:07:08,390 --> 01:07:06,880
leadership from you but i just really

1335
01:07:10,549 --> 01:07:08,400
really enjoyed getting to know you and

1336
01:07:12,710 --> 01:07:10,559
your wonderful family mike

1337
01:07:14,390 --> 01:07:12,720
i want to congratulate mike foale

1338
01:07:16,549 --> 01:07:14,400
i was so happy to hear he and i would be

1339
01:07:18,950 --> 01:07:16,559
inducted together when he and i flew

1340
01:07:20,710 --> 01:07:18,960
together on sts-56

1341
01:07:22,870 --> 01:07:20,720
he of course had already had one mission

1342
01:07:24,950 --> 01:07:22,880
he passed on all kinds of helpful

1343
01:07:27,029 --> 01:07:24,960
information that helped a rookie like me

1344
01:07:28,789 --> 01:07:27,039
really know where to focus and hopefully

1345
01:07:31,109 --> 01:07:28,799
not be too surprised when the actual

1346
01:07:33,589 --> 01:07:31,119
flight happened because being surprised

1347
01:07:35,029 --> 01:07:33,599
in space is rarely a good thing as as

1348
01:07:37,349 --> 01:07:35,039
you found out

1349
01:07:39,029 --> 01:07:37,359
and uh and i appreciate you took that

1350
01:07:40,549 --> 01:07:39,039
picture of me playing my flute in space

1351
01:07:42,150 --> 01:07:40,559
that was the only mission i i got to

1352
01:07:44,390 --> 01:07:42,160
take my flute up on it was part of an

1353
01:07:46,390 --> 01:07:44,400
educational video and the

1354
01:07:49,990 --> 01:07:46,400
picture you shot is one i have used many

1355
01:07:51,589 --> 01:07:50,000
times for people interested in music

1356
01:07:53,349 --> 01:07:51,599
i don't have the luxury of thanking

1357
01:07:55,670 --> 01:07:53,359
everyone who has been important to me on

1358
01:07:58,069 --> 01:07:55,680
my own journey it's a very long list so

1359
01:08:00,069 --> 01:07:58,079
i'll mention just a few today

1360
01:08:02,950 --> 01:08:00,079
people who know me know how important my

1361
01:08:05,029 --> 01:08:02,960
mom roseanne ochoa was to me

1362
01:08:07,029 --> 01:08:05,039
while she's no longer with us she was

1363
01:08:09,750 --> 01:08:07,039
able to see all of my launches and

1364
01:08:11,670 --> 01:08:09,760
followed my missions minute by minute

1365
01:08:13,349 --> 01:08:11,680
she loved everything about it

1366
01:08:15,589 --> 01:08:13,359
i'm so glad to have my three brothers

1367
01:08:17,669 --> 01:08:15,599
here monty thai and wilson

1368
01:08:19,590 --> 01:08:17,679
along with my sister beth who died a few

1369
01:08:22,229 --> 01:08:19,600
years ago they've always been there to

1370
01:08:23,910 --> 01:08:22,239
share in my life and support me

1371
01:08:25,669 --> 01:08:23,920
and i would like to thank all of my

1372
01:08:29,349 --> 01:08:25,679
other family members and the many

1373
01:08:30,950 --> 01:08:29,359
friends who traveled to support me today

1374
01:08:33,669 --> 01:08:30,960
graduate school at stanford is what

1375
01:08:35,590 --> 01:08:33,679
really set me on the path to nasa the

1376
01:08:36,950 --> 01:08:35,600
space shuttle flew for the first time

1377
01:08:38,390 --> 01:08:36,960
near the end of my first year at

1378
01:08:40,229 --> 01:08:38,400
stanford

1379
01:08:41,990 --> 01:08:40,239
my close friends and me and dave were

1380
01:08:43,349 --> 01:08:42,000
some of the only people i told about my

1381
01:08:46,550 --> 01:08:43,359
new ambition

1382
01:08:49,189 --> 01:08:46,560
and i appreciate that they didn't laugh

1383
01:08:51,030 --> 01:08:49,199
my thesis advisors joe goodman and bert

1384
01:08:53,189 --> 01:08:51,040
hesselink were not only my research

1385
01:08:55,669 --> 01:08:53,199
mentors there but encouraging in many

1386
01:08:58,550 --> 01:08:55,679
ways early in my career

1387
01:09:00,789 --> 01:08:58,560
my first nasa job was at ames research

1388
01:09:02,470 --> 01:09:00,799
center and it certainly helped me in a

1389
01:09:03,590 --> 01:09:02,480
number of ways toward astronaut

1390
01:09:05,910 --> 01:09:03,600
selection

1391
01:09:08,709 --> 01:09:05,920
but it was really most notable for being

1392
01:09:11,269 --> 01:09:08,719
where i met my husband coe miles

1393
01:09:12,789 --> 01:09:11,279
he's been by my side ever since and his

1394
01:09:13,990 --> 01:09:12,799
love and support have meant everything

1395
01:09:16,229 --> 01:09:14,000
to me

1396
01:09:19,030 --> 01:09:16,239
i love that he's an engineer

1397
01:09:21,030 --> 01:09:19,040
among other things as you heard

1398
01:09:22,870 --> 01:09:21,040
a lawyer and a chef

1399
01:09:24,470 --> 01:09:22,880
and can understand what i'm doing and

1400
01:09:26,390 --> 01:09:24,480
why i'm doing it

1401
01:09:27,590 --> 01:09:26,400
our family escort on my first flight

1402
01:09:29,510 --> 01:09:27,600
told me

1403
01:09:31,510 --> 01:09:29,520
co was the only spouse he'd ever seen

1404
01:09:33,189 --> 01:09:31,520
who had a stopwatch during the launch

1405
01:09:35,030 --> 01:09:33,199
along with all the times that the abort

1406
01:09:37,590 --> 01:09:35,040
calls are supposed to be made

1407
01:09:39,349 --> 01:09:37,600
and he was verifying call by call what

1408
01:09:40,950 --> 01:09:39,359
mission control was doing

1409
01:09:43,269 --> 01:09:40,960
and making sure they were all coming out

1410
01:09:45,030 --> 01:09:43,279
at the right time

1411
01:09:46,950 --> 01:09:45,040
after we had kids he had the difficult

1412
01:09:49,110 --> 01:09:46,960
job of being the only parent when i was

1413
01:09:51,510 --> 01:09:49,120
off training or in flight we were

1414
01:09:53,590 --> 01:09:51,520
blessed with a wonderful nanny and brown

1415
01:09:55,350 --> 01:09:53,600
but there's no question that co's job

1416
01:09:57,350 --> 01:09:55,360
was a lot harder than mine during those

1417
01:09:58,950 --> 01:09:57,360
times

1418
01:10:00,870 --> 01:09:58,960
i'd like to thank our wonderful kids

1419
01:10:03,110 --> 01:10:00,880
wilson and jordan

1420
01:10:05,590 --> 01:10:03,120
they were too young really to enjoy my

1421
01:10:07,750 --> 01:10:05,600
missions or not not even born yet for uh

1422
01:10:09,669 --> 01:10:07,760
most of them but i have tried to share

1423
01:10:11,590 --> 01:10:09,679
my space adventures with them and

1424
01:10:13,110 --> 01:10:11,600
encourage them to explore their own

1425
01:10:14,550 --> 01:10:13,120
interests

1426
01:10:16,310 --> 01:10:14,560
parenthood while being much more

1427
01:10:18,950 --> 01:10:16,320
personal is clearly an even bigger

1428
01:10:21,590 --> 01:10:18,960
invention a bigger adventure than space

1429
01:10:23,110 --> 01:10:21,600
exploration

1430
01:10:24,950 --> 01:10:23,120
there's no way to adequately thank

1431
01:10:27,910 --> 01:10:24,960
everyone in the astronaut corps

1432
01:10:30,709 --> 01:10:27,920
colleagues friends crewmates including

1433
01:10:32,390 --> 01:10:30,719
those still in flight ops who came today

1434
01:10:34,709 --> 01:10:32,400
to share in this moment thank you for

1435
01:10:37,750 --> 01:10:34,719
coming and three of my commanders also

1436
01:10:39,510 --> 01:10:37,760
came today i really appreciate that

1437
01:10:41,590 --> 01:10:39,520
i remember that one of the first pieces

1438
01:10:43,590 --> 01:10:41,600
of advice i got when i joined the

1439
01:10:45,590 --> 01:10:43,600
astronaut office was said

1440
01:10:47,990 --> 01:10:45,600
okay don't worry there's really only two

1441
01:10:49,990 --> 01:10:48,000
ways to mess up as an astronaut

1442
01:10:52,310 --> 01:10:50,000
number one failing to follow the

1443
01:10:53,189 --> 01:10:52,320
procedures exactly as written and number

1444
01:10:55,110 --> 01:10:53,199
two

1445
01:10:57,510 --> 01:10:55,120
following the procedures exactly as

1446
01:11:01,270 --> 01:10:59,430
so you know it took me a little while to

1447
01:11:04,070 --> 01:11:01,280
figure out what i should do with that

1448
01:11:06,470 --> 01:11:04,080
advice but in time and following the

1449
01:11:08,790 --> 01:11:06,480
example of all my colleagues i i believe

1450
01:11:11,110 --> 01:11:08,800
i was able to develop the the in-depth

1451
01:11:12,630 --> 01:11:11,120
knowledge and judgment that it was

1452
01:11:14,790 --> 01:11:12,640
referring to

1453
01:11:17,430 --> 01:11:14,800
and of course their camaraderie has made

1454
01:11:19,990 --> 01:11:17,440
the journey so memorable and fun

1455
01:11:21,910 --> 01:11:20,000
you can hear a lot about what mike and i

1456
01:11:23,590 --> 01:11:21,920
accomplished on our missions and what

1457
01:11:25,350 --> 01:11:23,600
those missions were about but i can

1458
01:11:25,990 --> 01:11:25,360
guarantee you that when we think about

1459
01:11:29,510 --> 01:11:26,000
them

1460
01:11:31,430 --> 01:11:29,520
what we're thinking about is the people

1461
01:11:33,590 --> 01:11:31,440
just as i'd hoped when i first started

1462
01:11:35,590 --> 01:11:33,600
thinking about the astronaut corps i got

1463
01:11:37,430 --> 01:11:35,600
to participate in conducting science

1464
01:11:38,630 --> 01:11:37,440
research in space on my first two

1465
01:11:40,550 --> 01:11:38,640
missions

1466
01:11:43,510 --> 01:11:40,560
i remember talking to one ecstatic

1467
01:11:45,430 --> 01:11:43,520
scientist after we landed and asked him

1468
01:11:48,709 --> 01:11:45,440
what could we do to help his research

1469
01:11:50,630 --> 01:11:48,719
and he said stay in orbit longer

1470
01:11:52,630 --> 01:11:50,640
so then i had the good fortune of being

1471
01:11:54,470 --> 01:11:52,640
on two missions that helped assemble the

1472
01:11:57,110 --> 01:11:54,480
international space station

1473
01:11:59,430 --> 01:11:57,120
which today is an absolutely incredible

1474
01:12:02,310 --> 01:11:59,440
laboratory in space that's been

1475
01:12:04,229 --> 01:12:02,320
continuously inhabited for 16 and a half

1476
01:12:05,830 --> 01:12:04,239
years

1477
01:12:08,390 --> 01:12:05,840
it's a thrill to be welcomed into the

1478
01:12:10,870 --> 01:12:08,400
hall of fame today along with mike i'm

1479
01:12:12,870 --> 01:12:10,880
very grateful to the ksc visitor center

1480
01:12:15,030 --> 01:12:12,880
the astronaut scholarship foundation and

1481
01:12:16,950 --> 01:12:15,040
to all who support it

1482
01:12:19,590 --> 01:12:16,960
while the spotlight today

1483
01:12:21,270 --> 01:12:19,600
is on astronauts we know we're simply

1484
01:12:23,270 --> 01:12:21,280
the ones who represent everyone in the

1485
01:12:25,430 --> 01:12:23,280
nasa community who have made nasa's

1486
01:12:27,430 --> 01:12:25,440
accomplishments possible

1487
01:12:29,430 --> 01:12:27,440
and that the biggest role we play

1488
01:12:31,189 --> 01:12:29,440
throughout our careers and actually

1489
01:12:33,669 --> 01:12:31,199
throughout our lives

1490
01:12:35,910 --> 01:12:33,679
is in inspiring the next generation

1491
01:12:37,669 --> 01:12:35,920
including astronaut scholars who will go

1492
01:12:38,870 --> 01:12:37,679
on to accomplish more than we can

1493
01:12:40,790 --> 01:12:38,880
imagine

1494
01:12:43,270 --> 01:12:40,800
i'm so thankful to have spent the last

1495
01:12:44,149 --> 01:12:43,280
almost 30 years being a part of the nasa

1496
01:12:45,500 --> 01:12:44,159
crew

1497
01:12:51,390 --> 01:12:45,510

now you you know share that maybe you

1501
01:13:06,470 --> 01:13:04,640
want to fly again so they can share the

1502
01:13:07,590 --> 01:13:06,480
experience a little

1503
01:13:09,860 --> 01:13:07,600
bit

1504
01:13:11,350 --> 01:13:09,870
