." When I was actually all around 16 or even 17, I came upon this book by Arthur C. Clarke called Room Journey 2001. That was in fact the very first sci-fi publication that I have actually ever reviewed. I was so recorded through what he had created since the important things that he blogged about weren't [happening] in the remote future, yet in the year 2001. In the book, he refers to a whole lot about spaceport station, and space shuttles that rise to the space station, and cars that visit the Moon or even the Moon center, plus all that. I imply, these are conditions that you hear today regularly, right? As Well As Arthur C. Clarke in fact pictured it back then. To ensure that interested me. I really hoped that one day I could possibly work on one thing like that." In terms of my learning, I was really mosting likely to enter the space design, but after that somebody advised me that technical engineering will offer me a more comprehensive background. So I adhered to the advise, as well as it was actually the appropriate thing to perform. I found yourself knowing a lot of traits, not merely mechanical engineering yet likewise a lot concerning electrical design as well as devices design all at once." ... Then an option included NASA. It went to that time that they began talking about the space station. Ronald Reagan at that time was the Head of state, and he recommended this initiative to create the spaceport station. During that time, he got in touch with the spaceport station 'Liberty.'." I believed, 'Wow, what a stimulating concept it will be actually excellent if I could focus on that.'." As well as of training program, one thing triggered an additional, and [I ended up focusing on the International Spaceport Station.] So you certainly never understand what you are actually mosting likely to find yourself carrying out." I rely on synchronicity often. The important things that you carry out, somehow, lead to your final location. Some unseen powers push you because instructions. When you recall, you discover that whatever fits together.".-- Douglas Wong, Unit Designer, ISS CRS Visiting Vehicle Safety And Security & Mission Assurance Combination Focal, NASA's Johnson Space Facility.Picture Credit Score: NASA/Bill StaffordInterviewer: NASA/Thalia Patrinos.Look into a number of our various other Faces of NASA..
