00:00:00,033 --> 00:00:04,000

I was inspired by everything

I learned about at Goddard:

Earth science,

2

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,033

space science, astrophysics,

geology, everything

cool about the universe

3

00:00:09,033 --> 00:00:11,033

feels like it was

happening at Goddard.

4

00:00:16,033 --> 00:00:17,800

Not even in my own group.

5

00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:18,900

I reached out.

6

00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:21,733

I worked on other missions,

missions studying gamma rays,

7

00:00:21,966 --> 00:00:24,366

missions studying all kinds

of things, cosmic rays.

8

00:00:24,633 --> 00:00:28,000

It was awesome for me, and

really it was my dream job.

9

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,200

Just watching something

that I made go to

10

00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,800

space was just a complete

and total dream come true,

11

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,866

at the time. It's hard to believe

that now I'm actually going

12

00:00:36,866 --> 00:00:39,833

to be going into

deep space myself.
