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
