Hi, I'm Katrina Jackson with the NASA Goddard Office of Communications,

5
00:00:16,050 --> 00:00:20,050
and we're here at the Goddard Visitor Center for the first day of the Summer 2014

6
00:00:20,070 --> 00:00:24,070
Internship season, and about 250 interns are going to be arriving here

7
00:00:24,090 --> 00:00:28,250
at the Visitor Center. So we're going to go inside, and talk with a few of the interns and see what

8
00:00:28,270 --> 00:00:32,270
they are going to be up to this summer. [ music ]

12
00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:48,510
So where will you be interning here at NASA Goddard this summer?

13
00:00:48,530 --> 00:00:52,550
Alecia: Uh, the innovation lab. Colin: Robotic spacecraft mission operations.

14
00:00:52,570 --> 00:00:56,560
Sarah: Doing low-gravity propellant physics. Nora: I'm working with the FERMI

15
00:00:56,580 --> 00:01:00,750
group, so gamma rays. Lisa: The NICER X-ray

16
00:01:00,770 --> 00:01:04,760
project. Casey: I'm working on designing the new building,

17
00:01:04,780 --> 00:01:08,780
37 I think it is. Angel: And how did you find out about your internship?

18
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,970
Alecia: I found out about it through the MERIT Program, which was offered to the CWIT Scholars at

19
00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:16,980
UMBC. Rochelle: I went ahead and submitted an application to a whole bunch of

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
different NASA centers, and I picked the one that was most appealing, which was Goddard. 

21
00:01:21,020 --> 00:01:25,020
Katrina: If you were to compare yourself to one planet in our solar system, which one do you think

22
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,030
is most like you? Shannon: Um, I'll say Jupiter,

23
00:01:29,050 --> 00:01:33,050
because it's the largest and most, it has the best personality,

24
00:01:33,070 --> 00:01:37,080
I'd say out of the planets. Katrina: What is your most favorite planet

25
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:41,090
in the solar sytem? Colin: I'm fond of Earth.

26
00:01:41,110 --> 00:01:45,120
Uh, yeah. Katrina: Is Titan your favorite moon in the solar system?

27
00:01:45,140 --> 00:01:49,200
Joe: Um, it wasn't actually, Enceladus was my favorite, and, but, 

28
00:01:49,220 --> 00:01:53,220
after doing some research on it, it's becoming one of my favorites, it's pretty cool, so I'm

29
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,410
excited. Angel: What is your dream job? Sarah: I want to go to Mars.

30
00:01:57,430 --> 00:02:01,420
Just throw that right out there. Rai: Get to experience what it is to be an electrical 

31
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,440
engineer, you know, going around doing projects or research. Angel: So James, what is your dream job?

32
00:02:05,460 --> 00:02:09,460
James: Um, either professor or NASA

33
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,460
scientist. It's a toss-up between the two I guess. Angel: Can't do both? 

34
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,480
James: Um, I hadn't even thought of that. Wow,

35
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:21,500
you just shook my whole world view. Angel: This

36
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,520
concludes the 2014 Summer Intern Orientation, but

37
00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:29,540
for these interns, the summer is just beginning. Stay tuned to the NASA

38
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,560
Goddard website to learn more about our interns' journey. I am
