." When I was about 16 or even 17, I came across this publication through Arthur C. Clarke contacted Space Odyssey 2001. That was in fact the initial science fiction book that I've ever before checked out. I was so grabbed by what he had actually written given that the things that he blogged about weren't [taking place] in the outlying future, however in the year 2001. In guide, he discusses a whole lot about spaceport station, as well as space capsule that increase to the space station, and automobiles that head to the Moon or even the Moon center, and all that. I suggest, these are actually terms that you listen to today all the time, right? And Arthur C. Clarke in fact pictured it during that time. In order that interested me. I wished that one day I could deal with something like that." In terms of my education and learning, I was really visiting enter into the area engineering, however after that someone suggested me that technical engineering will give me a more comprehensive background. So I observed the advice, and also it was the ideal thing to do. I ended up finding out a great deal of factors, not merely technical design yet additionally a great deal concerning electrical engineering and bodies design concurrently." ... At that point an option came with NASA. It went to that time that they started talking about the spaceport station. Ronald Reagan at that time was the Head of state, and he recommended this initiative to establish the space station. At that time, he got in touch with the spaceport station 'Flexibility.'." I thought, 'Wow, what an impressive principle it would certainly be actually great if I could deal with that.'." And of training course, one point caused yet another, and [I ended up working on the International Spaceport Station.] So you never know what you are actually going to find yourself doing." I believe in coexistence often. Things that you carry out, one way or another, trigger your ultimate destination. Some unnoticeable forces push you in that instructions. When you recall, you understand that every thing meshes.".-- Douglas Wong, Equipment Designer, ISS CRS Visiting Lorry Safety & Purpose Guarantee Combination Focal, NASA's Johnson Room Center.Graphic Credit Rating: NASA/Bill StaffordInterviewer: NASA/Thalia Patrinos.Visit a number of our other Faces of NASA..
