Helen Keen talks to astronaut Mike Massimino about his remarkable 18-year career as a NASA astronaut.
Mike Massimino spent 18 years as a Nasa astronaut and flew on two shuttle missions. On both occasions he performed spacewalks outside the shuttle to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. Since returning to Earth and retiring from Nasa, he now works as a professor of mechanical engineering at Columbia University in New York.

I'm a simple man. I see Massimino in the title, I watch.
Wow, the ending brought tears to my eyes. I wish all humans could see that sight and feel what he felt about our planet.
This amazing chap is so eloquent. He spoke from the heart and I will admit that the ending made me cry.
I had a wonderful experience of meeting this man today at my school. Thank You!
That ending, I wish everyone could have that experience!
Incredible man! God bless you Mike!
0:11 I know that voice, this is gonna be good! :-)
Good interview, he seems like a really good guy.
And for anyone who hasn't listened to her (Helen Keen) series "It is rocket science" you can go do that now, it is awesome!
really enjoyed. he was an interesting and entertaining guest. the interview ended too soon.
Always an inspiration!!!!
Illumination, the key to realization. Let's make this whole world new.
12:50 Even Faraday hit a wall back in his day. He had some amazing ideas that turned out to be true, but it was years before it was proven they were true because he was never properly trained in mathematics.
And a lot of credits go to Maxwell but I think Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson put it very succinctly in the follow-up Cosmos series to Carl Sagan's ones.

He did indeed. But that takes nothing from Faraday. The fact he wasn't well educated isn't his fault. Higher education simply wasn't available to someone born in his station.
Makes me wonder how many other great discoveries were delayed or lost because the owner of that mind was born into the wrong class, had skin that was too dark, or had the wrong sort of genitals.
Faraday was lucky to have been presented with the opportunities he had AND was able to take advantage of them.
He's Italian and from Long Island. These people tend to be very interesting and funny. They can't talk without yelling and saying "BOOOOOM" and "POW" every 5 minutes.
If he wants to call his book _Shenanigans in space,_ he should probably make sure the ESA class of 2009 don’t have plans to use it, since they *are* the Shenanigans, and one of them is in space right now.
About commercial Space travel, couldn't you theoretically use that to travel really fast around the world?
Say you take off in Houston and you land somewhere in Russia?
8:00 he started to sound like Rodney Dangerfield.
Center Cut Studio - The entire video he sounds like him. Even looks like him.
Wait, he started when he was 25? Well shit, I could start down that path then D:
Now I'm realizing I would be instantly medically disqualified :(
@@MrC0MPUT3R Well, perhaps you could work within the broader field ? Maybe check out the qualifications and qualities required by companies like SpaceX, or organisations like NASA - there are all sorts of people they need within a range of fields. So long as you're keen and willing to work hard, and it sounds like you're keen, you could go for it.
Put the Hubble up, closest to a moon man
26:00 these days eye docs would call you a straight up liar
Probably why he was medically disqualified on his 3rd attempt, after attempting the procedure, huh?
@@codymoe4986 Him being able to improve his vision is why he was medically disqualified on his 3rd attempt after trying ortho-k?
No. Him doing vision training after being medically disqualified is why he was able to afterwards join NASA.
If you gave an astronaut strong sedatives, wound you get a spaced spaceman?
mass!... Because mass equal force times acceleration
I might be wrong but I don't think so. That's weight maybe. But mass is an intrinsic property (now as we discovered: given by the Higgs field) of particles.
Dude... no. It's a quote from tbbt.
He was great, but I had to stop after 30 minutes because the interviewer's godawful habit of interjecting her annoying "yes" and "mm-hmm" after every fifth word was maddening.
didnt realise until you pointed it out (Y)
David Lusk - This bothered me as well. I couldn't give an interview to someone like that. Their unnatural awkward reaction to everything I was saying would be too distracting to continue. Terrible interviewer.
I have to agree. While his answers already made the interview particularly engaging, it would have been a little better if the interviewer simply asked questions and allowed him to speak. I'm sure she's knowledgeable and qualified, certainly friendly, but superior interviewers don't interrupt with such frequency. That's just my opinion of course.
Her gulping sound every 2-3 seconds was awful. Such a basic interviewing error. I watched the whole interview because of how good he was.
Its James Belushi
Haha who downvotes this?
It was difficult to understand the interviewer
it's OK to let the lady talk!
