." When I was all around 16 or even 17, I discovered this book through Arthur C. Clarke called Space Odyssey 2001. That was really the very first science fiction manual that I've ever before read. I was actually so caught by what he had actually composed given that things that he blogged about weren't [taking place] in the remote future, however in the year 2001. In guide, he refers to a whole lot about space stations, and space capsule that rise to the spaceport station, and vehicles that most likely to the Moon or even the Moon center, plus all that. I suggest, these are actually phrases that you listen to right now all the time, right? And Also Arthur C. Clarke in fact imagined it at that time. So that interested me. I hoped that one day I could possibly service something like that." In conditions of my education and learning, I was in fact going to enter into the room design, however then an individual urged me that technical engineering will provide me a more comprehensive history. So I observed the tips, as well as it was actually the right thing to carry out. I wound up knowing a whole lot of traits, certainly not simply technical design however likewise a lot concerning power engineering and units design at the same time." ... Then an option featured NASA. It was at that time that they started talking about the spaceport station. Ronald Reagan during that time was the Head of state, and also he suggested this campaign to develop the spaceport station. At that time, he contacted the spaceport station 'Liberty.'." I thought, 'Wow, what a stimulating principle it will be actually excellent if I might service that.'." And also of training program, something triggered an additional, and [I found yourself focusing on the International Spaceport Station.] So you never understand what you're mosting likely to find yourself carrying out." I believe in coexistence often. The many things that you perform, one way or another, bring about your final location. Some undetectable powers press you because path. When you recall, you discover that everything meshes.".-- Douglas Wong, Solution Developer, ISS CRS Visiting Motor Vehicle Safety And Security & Purpose Affirmation Combination Focal, NASA's Johnson Room Center.Photo Credit Report: NASA/Bill StaffordInterviewer: NASA/Thalia Patrinos.Browse through a number of our other Faces of NASA..
