00:00:09.966 --> 00:00:10.833
What's the best part

2
00:00:10.833 --> 00:00:11.733
of your job?

3
00:00:11.733 --> 00:00:12.933
Without a doubt,

4
00:00:12.933 --> 00:00:14.700
the best part of my job

5
00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:16.600
is working with the team.

6
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:18.000
And, you know,

7
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:18.600
I often say--

8
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:20.266
You are getting behind the scenes

9
00:00:20.266 --> 00:00:21.633
of the interview process

10
00:00:21.633 --> 00:00:22.500
for Curious Universe.

11
00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:24.166
So our host,  Jacob Pinter,

12
00:00:24.166 --> 00:00:25.400
is going to be interviewing

13
00:00:26.900 --> 00:00:28.300
How do you explain to them

14
00:00:28.300 --> 00:00:29.266
what your job is?

15
00:00:29.266 --> 00:00:30.933
And on the flip side,

16
00:00:30.933 --> 00:00:32.500
what's the hardest part?

17
00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:35.000
I think the hardest part is,

18
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.166
is waiting for launch day.

19
00:00:37.166 --> 00:00:38.800
I think that we have

20
00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:40.566
produced close to 70

21
00:00:40.566 --> 00:00:42.366
episodes of Curious Universe,

22
00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:44.866
on all different types of topics.

23
00:00:45.233 --> 00:00:47.800
You are falling an infinite amount of space.

24
00:00:47.900 --> 00:00:48.333
Uh oh.

25
00:00:48.433 --> 00:00:50.066
So space-time

26
00:00:50.066 --> 00:00:51.200
inside of a black hole

27
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:52.766
behaves very differently

28
00:00:52.766 --> 00:00:54.000
than it does outside.

29
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:55.500
They listened to a previous

30
00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:56.866
episode of Curious Universe

31
00:00:56.866 --> 00:00:58.766
called “Inside a Black Hole.”

32
00:00:58.766 --> 00:00:59.633
In that episode

33
00:00:59.633 --> 00:01:01.600
we mentioned a quantum physics phenomenom

34
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:02.966
called Hawking radiation.

35
00:01:03.166 --> 00:01:05.466
It's this strange, magical,

36
00:01:05.466 --> 00:01:07.000
somewhat unsettling moment

37
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:07.533
when,

38
00:01:07.533 --> 00:01:09.066
in the middle of the day,

39
00:01:09.066 --> 00:01:10.500
the world suddenly goes

40
00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:11.300
dark.

41
00:01:11.300 --> 00:01:11.766
Last year

42
00:01:11.766 --> 00:01:12.966
one of my favorites was

43
00:01:12.966 --> 00:01:14.333
for the total solar eclipse.

44
00:01:14.333 --> 00:01:15.366
Across North America,

45
00:01:15.366 --> 00:01:17.700
we had an eclipse-themed

46
00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:19.000
series, which we called

47
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:20.500
a podcast companion

48
00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:22.233
to the total solar eclipse.

49
00:01:22.233 --> 00:01:23.100
And we were just helping

50
00:01:23.100 --> 00:01:24.066
everyone take part

51
00:01:24.066 --> 00:01:26.200
in this huge celestial moment.

52
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:27.033
It was really fun.

53
00:01:27.033 --> 00:01:29.500
I just remember that feeling

54
00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:30.633
of, again,

55
00:01:30.633 --> 00:01:31.433
just going out

56
00:01:31.433 --> 00:01:33.033
and looking up at the sky

57
00:01:33.033 --> 00:01:33.966
and wondering,

58
00:01:33.966 --> 00:01:34.900
what is that?

59
00:01:34.900 --> 00:01:35.866
What is out there?

60
00:01:37.633 --> 00:01:38.333
That was great.

61
00:01:38.333 --> 00:01:39.300
That was--
She was great.

62
00:01:39.300 --> 00:01:41.366
That was, like, emotional.

63
00:01:41.366 --> 00:01:41.666
Yeah.

64
00:01:41.666 --> 00:01:42.833
I really enjoyed that

65
00:01:42.833 --> 00:01:44.033
conversation.

66
00:01:44.733 --> 00:01:45.500
That was a good one.

67
00:02:03.800 --> 00:02:05.033
the time, does

68
00:02:05.033 --> 00:02:08.033
NASA have podcasts?

69
00:02:08.966 --> 00:02:10.333
Yeah, we have podcasts.

70
00:02:10.333 --> 00:02:13.333
Come on, let's go to the moon.

71
00:02:20.666 --> 00:02:21.466
NASA's Curious

72
00:02:21.466 --> 00:02:23.466
Universe is NASA's podcast

73
00:02:23.466 --> 00:02:25.733
for the first time, space explorer.

74
00:02:25.733 --> 00:02:27.100
So even if you don't think

75
00:02:27.100 --> 00:02:28.866
you're interested in space or science,

76
00:02:28.866 --> 00:02:29.600
we're going to show you

77
00:02:29.600 --> 00:02:32.600
why you need to be

78
00:02:33.133 --> 00:02:34.600
but not all of it.

79
00:02:34.600 --> 00:02:36.566
Some of the gas shoots off,

80
00:02:36.566 --> 00:02:38.666
racing away at almost the speed of light
