-: I definitely like the challenge of
learning about all the different components
of like a rocket that's very unfamiliar to me,
it's getting more familiar every single day.
So I really like the challenge
of learning all of that stuff
and particularly about Artemis I really like that
most people whenever they go to work for NASA
they're working on one part of SLS.
You know, they're working on the engines
or working primarily in propulsion
or just various things like that
but with Artemis you're kind of
you're getting exposure to every single part of it
and so you get to know what's going on
like in every aspect of the rocket,
so that's like one of my favorite things about it.
And I know like if I was an astronaut
and if I was on SLS and something went wrong
I would want someone from Artemis to be there
because they know all the different types of failures
that can happen,
they know what to do to fix a failure,
I mean they know everything about SLS.
It's really cool and I hope to one day
get to that level of knowledge, for sure,
about SLS.
So that's probably my favorite part about it
is just the wide variety
of stuff that you learn about it.
The hardest part is probably
probably all of the engineering aspects of it.
I majored in Computer Science
but a lot of the people that I'm working with
were mechanical engineers or electrical engineers
and they learned coding after they graduated
with their engineering degree.
So I'm very unfamiliar compared to everybody else
with the actual engineering aspects of everything
and so I'm just kind of learning that.
I know my very first day,
I had an internship with them last summer,
my very first day of the internship
I downloaded this rocket science for dummies book
because I had no idea what was going on,
with the rocket itself.
I knew how to code what they needed me to code
but I didn't know like, I mean,
how a rocket operates, you know,
so learning that aspect of it
has been definitely challenging.
But it's worth it, it's really fun stuff to learn.
