00:00:00,667 --> 00:00:08,408
[ MUSIC ]

2
00:00:08,475 --> 00:00:09,242
>> TODAY'S SPACELIGHT WILL BE

3
00:00:09,309 --> 00:00:10,443
THE VERY FIRST FOR

4
00:00:10,510 --> 00:00:12,178
NASA'S CHRISTINA KOCH.

5
00:00:12,245 --> 00:00:13,113
>> WE HAVE TO ANSWER

6
00:00:13,179 --> 00:00:15,115
HUMANITY'S CALL TO EXPLORE.

7
00:00:15,181 --> 00:00:16,983
WE HAVE TO SET OURSELVES AS

8
00:00:17,050 --> 00:00:18,318
THE LEADERSHIP IN PROACTIVELY

9
00:00:18,385 --> 00:00:20,153
SEEKING OUT CHALLENGES

10
00:00:20,220 --> 00:00:21,321
AND LEARNING THAT WHEN

11
00:00:21,388 --> 00:00:22,822
WE FOCUS ON ONE THING

12
00:00:22,889 --> 00:00:24,524
AND WE FOCUS ON IT TOGETHER,

13
00:00:24,591 --> 00:00:26,059
WE CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING.

14
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:29,429
I AM SOMEONE WHO HAS LOVED

15
00:00:29,496 --> 00:00:31,030
EXPLORATION ON THE FRONTIER

16
00:00:31,097 --> 00:00:32,766
SINCE I WAS LITTLE.

17
00:00:32,832 --> 00:00:33,466
I USED TO BE INSPIRED

18
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:34,534
BY THE NIGHT SKY,

19
00:00:34,601 --> 00:00:36,436
AND THROUGHOUT MY CAREER,

20
00:00:36,503 --> 00:00:38,104
IT'S BEEN THIS BALANCE BETWEEN

21
00:00:38,171 --> 00:00:39,339
ENGINEERING FOR SPACE SCIENCE

22
00:00:39,406 --> 00:00:41,441
MISSIONS AND DOING SCIENCE

23
00:00:41,508 --> 00:00:42,609
IN REALLY REMOTE PLACES

24
00:00:42,675 --> 00:00:45,044
ALL OVER THE WORLD.

25
00:00:45,111 --> 00:00:45,445
I LOVED THINGS THAT

26
00:00:45,512 --> 00:00:47,013
MADE ME FEEL SMALL.

27
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:47,614
THINGS THAT MADE ME

28
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:48,548
PONDER THE SIZE OF

29
00:00:48,615 --> 00:00:50,483
THE UNIVERSE, MY PLACE IN IT,

30
00:00:50,550 --> 00:00:51,384
AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS

31
00:00:51,451 --> 00:00:52,886
OUT THERE TO EXPLORE.

32
00:00:52,952 --> 00:00:54,487
AND I PUT THAT STUFF TO WORK

33
00:00:54,554 --> 00:00:55,522
MAKING SCIENCE GADGETS

34
00:00:55,588 --> 00:00:57,290
FOR NASA SPACE SCIENCE MISSIONS

35
00:00:57,357 --> 00:00:58,224
AND WORKING REALLY HARD

36
00:00:58,291 --> 00:00:59,225
IN THAT CAREER.

37
00:00:59,292 --> 00:01:00,960
BUT ALSO SETTING GOALS

38
00:01:01,027 --> 00:01:02,195
AND HOBBIES THAT I HAD.

39
00:01:02,262 --> 00:01:03,496
I LEARNED TO ROCK CLIMB,

40
00:01:03,563 --> 00:01:05,231
I LEARNED TO SAIL, UM,

41
00:01:05,298 --> 00:01:06,166
FINALLY LEARNING SURFING

42
00:01:06,232 --> 00:01:07,367
AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE.

43
00:01:07,434 --> 00:01:08,501
AND SO I THINK WORKING HARD

44
00:01:08,568 --> 00:01:09,502
ON ALL FRONTS, UM,

45
00:01:09,569 --> 00:01:10,303
TO BE A BETTER PERSON

46
00:01:10,370 --> 00:01:11,638
AND TO CONTRIBUTE

47
00:01:11,704 --> 00:01:12,472
THE MOST TO THE WORLD

48
00:01:12,539 --> 00:01:13,339
IS REALLY WHAT'S

49
00:01:13,406 --> 00:01:15,008
IMPORTANT TO ME.

50
00:01:15,074 --> 00:01:15,575
I REALLY DON'T REMEMBER

51
00:01:15,642 --> 00:01:16,576
A TIME WHEN I DIDN'T

52
00:01:16,643 --> 00:01:17,844
WANNA BE AN ASTRONAUT.

53
00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:19,345
FOR ME, I LEARNED THAT

54
00:01:19,412 --> 00:01:20,880
IF I WAS GONNA BE AN ASTRONAUT,

55
00:01:20,947 --> 00:01:23,049
IT WAS BECAUSE MY PASSIONS

56
00:01:23,116 --> 00:01:24,684
TURNED ME INTO SOMEONE THAT

57
00:01:24,751 --> 00:01:25,718
COULD CONTRIBUTE THE MOST

58
00:01:25,785 --> 00:01:27,020
AS SOMEONE CONTRIBUTING

59
00:01:27,086 --> 00:01:28,221
TO HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT.

60
00:01:28,288 --> 00:01:29,322
SO I DIDN'T NECESSARILY

61
00:01:29,389 --> 00:01:30,089
LIVE MY LIFE ACCORDING

62
00:01:30,156 --> 00:01:31,191
TO CHECK BOXES OF HOW

63
00:01:31,257 --> 00:01:32,826
YOU CAN BECOME AN ASTRONAUT,

64
00:01:32,892 --> 00:01:34,093
BUT I FOLLOWED THOSE PASSIONS

65
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,195
AND ONE YEAR LOOKED AT

66
00:01:35,261 --> 00:01:36,095
WHO I HAD BECOME

67
00:01:36,162 --> 00:01:37,063
AND THE SKILLS I HAD GATHERED

68
00:01:37,130 --> 00:01:38,398
AND I ASKED, COULD I SIT

69
00:01:38,465 --> 00:01:39,098
ACROSS FROM A TABLE

70
00:01:39,165 --> 00:01:41,034
AND PRESENT MYSELF AS SOMEONE

71
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:42,268
WHO COULD DO THIS WELL?

72
00:01:42,335 --> 00:01:42,769
AND I THOUGHT,

73
00:01:42,836 --> 00:01:44,003
I'M GONNA GIVE IT A SHOT.

74
00:01:45,572 --> 00:01:46,339
YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A MOMENT

75
00:01:46,406 --> 00:01:47,841
WHERE IT CAME TO ME THAT

76
00:01:47,907 --> 00:01:49,442
THIS WAS THE MOST EXQUISITE

77
00:01:49,509 --> 00:01:50,376
PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL

78
00:01:50,443 --> 00:01:51,945
MOMENT OF MY LIFE.

79
00:01:52,011 --> 00:01:53,880
A MOMENT OF CAREER CULMINATION

80
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:55,215
WHERE EVERYTHING I HAD LEARNED

81
00:01:55,281 --> 00:01:56,683
PERSONALLY, PROFESSIONALLY,

82
00:01:56,749 --> 00:01:58,051
EVERY SKILL I HAD BEEN TAUGHT,

83
00:01:58,117 --> 00:01:59,886
EVERY HERO I HAD EMULATED,

84
00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:01,221
IT WAS ALL COMING TOGETHER

85
00:02:01,287 --> 00:02:02,288
IN THIS MOMENT.

86
00:02:02,355 --> 00:02:03,756
I REALIZED THAT

87
00:02:03,823 --> 00:02:05,758
I WANTED MY WORK TO TELL

88
00:02:05,825 --> 00:02:06,893
EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON EARTH

89
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,627
THAT THEY COULD HAVE

90
00:02:07,694 --> 00:02:08,761
THAT MOMENT, TOO, IF THEY

91
00:02:08,828 --> 00:02:09,929
WORKED HARD FOR IT.

92
00:02:09,996 --> 00:02:10,864
AND I WANTED EVERY SINGLE

93
00:02:10,930 --> 00:02:12,098
PERSON ON EARTH TO FEEL
