." When I was actually all around 16 or 17, I came across this book through Arthur C. Clarke got in touch with Space Odyssey 2001. That was really the very first sci-fi publication that I've ever before checked out. I was just so grabbed through what he had written given that the important things that he wrote about weren't [taking place] in the far future, yet in the year 2001. In the book, he discusses a whole lot concerning space stations, and also space shuttles that increase to the space station, and also autos that head to the Moon or even the Moon base, plus all that. I suggest, these are conditions that you listen to right now regularly, right? And Also Arthur C. Clarke in fact envisioned it back then. To make sure that was interesting to me. I really hoped that at some point I can work with something like that." In terms of my education and learning, I was really mosting likely to enter into the space engineering, however at that point someone suggested me that mechanical design would certainly offer me a more comprehensive background. So I observed the tips, and also it was actually the ideal trait to perform. I ended up discovering a great deal of factors, not simply mechanical engineering yet likewise a lot concerning electric design and devices engineering simultaneously." ... After that a chance featured NASA. It was at that opportunity that they started discussing the space station. Ronald Reagan at that time was actually the Head of state, as well as he proposed this effort to establish the spaceport station. Back then, he got in touch with the space station 'Flexibility.'." I presumed, 'Wow, what an exciting idea it would be great if I could work with that.'." And of training course, something caused one more, and [I found yourself dealing with the International Space Station.] So you certainly never know what you're heading to find yourself carrying out." I rely on coexistence sometimes. The things that you perform, one way or another, result in your ultimate destination. Some unnoticeable powers push you in that instructions. When you look back, you discover that whatever meshes.".-- Douglas Wong, Solution Developer, ISS CRS Going To Auto Safety And Security & Purpose Affirmation Combination Focal, NASA's Johnson Room Center.Graphic Credit Rating: NASA/Bill StaffordInterviewer: NASA/Thalia Patrinos.Look at some of our various other Images of NASA..
