00:00:07,567 --> 00:00:03,000
Music.

00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,000
Mission Specialist 3.\h
Stephanie Wilson making her first

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,480
flight into space. She'll sit in that seat\h
right between and behind the pilot commander

4
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,720
MS-3, This is NTD I've got your\h
loud clear. Good morning.

5
00:00:23,793 --> 00:00:25,414
Go for Main Engine.

6
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:31,548
Every space flight is special. The first space\h
flight is very memorable for everyone.\h

7
00:00:31,548 --> 00:00:38,160
On the day of launch, everyone's very excited and it's\h
very surreal when the solid rocket boosters and\h\h

8
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:42,800
the main engines ignite. It's very apparent\h
that we're going somewhere and it's the best\h\h

9
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:48,997
eight and a half minute ride ever. The view from\h
space is spectacular.  It can be very peaceful, \h

10
00:00:48,997 --> 00:00:56,788
very serene.  The colors are so vivid -- the vibrant orange\h
of the Sahara Desert, the blue green color of the oceans.\h\h

11
00:00:56,788 --> 00:01:03,360
It's a wonderful sight to behold and what\h
is readily transparent is that while there may\h\h

12
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:09,920
or may not be strife on earth, it appears to us to\h
be one unified planet, and having that perspective\h\h

13
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,721
of one earth and one humanity is one that we\h
definitely appreciate having from space. \h

14
00:01:17,184 --> 00:01:25,200
I had a great curiosity for what's unknown and I like\h
to solve problems so trying to understand and\h\h

15
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:31,520
have a better sense of the universe and what that\h
means to humanity. Who we are what our history is\h\h

16
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,240
and how we leverage that knowledge\h
to bring benefits to humanity\h\h

17
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,640
was something that struck me and\h
I hope to work with in the future\h\h

18
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:46,082
I have certainly benefited by having some great\h
mentors in the office across NASA.

19
00:01:46,082 --> 00:01:52,549
One thing that\hveterans of space flights do as they share\h
their expertise and their experience during the mission.

20
00:01:52,549 --> 00:01:58,400
Christina on the UIA. Check\h
Oxygen EM-1 and 2. Oxygen EM-1 and 2 are open.\h\h

21
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:04,000
And I do my best to pass along the experience and\h
the knowledge that I have gained to others in the\hoffice
