I was inspired by everything I learned about at Goddard: Earth science,
space science, astrophysics, geology, everything cool about the universe
feels like it was happening at Goddard.
Not even in my own group.
I reached out.
I worked on other missions, missions studying gamma rays,
missions studying all kinds of things, cosmic rays.
It was awesome for me, and really it was my dream job.
Just watching something that I made go to
space was just a complete and total dream come true,
at the time. It's hard to believe that now I'm actually going
to be going into deep space myself.
