I'm excited about making air travel a better experience.
Air travel it's a tough time sometimes to be an air traveler these days.
And some people are surprised that is a problem that NASA worries about
or is concerned with. But it absolutely is.
What we do is we apply technology to the cockpit technology air traffic control and new
procedures to help ensure that everything is going to go as planned as much as possible.
The most memorable moment most exciting moment for me in my NASA career so far had to
with an operational tests.
We were trying to coordinate air traffic over the entire Northeast corridor basically and
choreograph that traffic in a way that would reduce things like airborne holding.
And it came down to the lead FAA person saying OK the FAA is in place the FAA is ready
NASA are you ready.
And everything is quiet and I am kinda of pondering the question, NASA are you ready?
I thought about all the preparation that had come to that.
All the time, all the the expertise and professionalism that was deployed to all these
different places and I just felt incredibly confident and said absolutely NASA's ready let's go.
