." When I was about 16 or 17, I came across this book through Arthur C. Clarke got in touch with Room Odyssey 2001. That was in fact the initial science fiction book that I've ever before gone through. I was actually so caught by what he had written since things that he wrote about weren't [happening] in the far future, but in the year 2001. In the book, he refers to a great deal concerning space stations, and also space shuttles that climb to the spaceport station, as well as lorries that go to the Moon or even the Moon base, plus all that. I imply, these are conditions that you listen to right now constantly, right? As Well As Arthur C. Clarke in fact imagined it at that time. So that interested me. I hoped that someday I could work with one thing like that." In phrases of my education, I was really mosting likely to go into the room design, but at that point a person advised me that technical design will give me a wider history. So I adhered to the advise, and it was actually the appropriate point to perform. I found yourself finding out a great deal of traits, certainly not only technical engineering however additionally a great deal about electric engineering and also bodies design together." ... Then a chance included NASA. It went to that time that they began speaking about the spaceport station. Ronald Reagan back then was the Head of state, as well as he suggested this effort to create the spaceport station. During that time, he contacted the space station 'Flexibility.'." I presumed, 'Wow, what a fantastic principle it would certainly be wonderful if I could focus on that.'." And also of training course, something resulted in yet another, and [I ended up working with the International Spaceport Station.] So you certainly never recognize what you're going to find yourself carrying out." I believe in coexistence at times. The things that you carry out, one way or another, cause your last location. Some invisible forces press you during that instructions. When you recall, you recognize that everything fits together.".-- Douglas Wong, Equipment Developer, ISS CRS Visiting Lorry Security & Mission Assurance Integration Focal, NASA's Johnson Area Facility.Picture Credit Rating: NASA/Bill StaffordInterviewer: NASA/Thalia Patrinos.Look into some of our various other Images of NASA..
