Ed Hoffman: Having known you at different stages, whatever seems to be going on, you
seem to have fun, and maybe this goes back to the action or the listening, but how do
you have the fun that you seem to have? Maybe start with Dennis and close with John?
Dennis McCarthy: I would say, number one, I enjoyed doing this. I’ve always felt that
I can solve it along the way. I never got overwhelmed by the system or the project,
and I enjoyed the people. And I think it’s just as important to build this hardware and
to launch this hardware, but to see all the people on the project and in the end it’s
their project and they’re going to get it done, and you just let them go. I mean you
watch them, but you let them go. And then to see all of the positions they’ve ended
up in at NASA – it’s been a joy.
I actually remember the day we launched COBE, there was a press conference and all I said
was it was a joyful ride. After seven years of turmoil, you can enjoy this work. If you
enjoy the people and you decide that you’re going to solve these problems yourself.
John Mather: I would have said almost the exact same words as Dennis was describing
his thoughts. I thought, ‘I would have said that, I would have said that, I would have
said that,’ because I feel sort of the personal satisfaction of solving problems and of working
with great people. If I didn’t like the people I was working with it wouldn’t be
fun. But I do, and I think we all enjoy each other. And the project I’m on now, when
we have a staff meeting you can hear people laughing and down the hall people hear us
laughing and they say, ‘Can I get on that project?’ So it’s possible that this high
stress environment is good for us in a curious kind of way, but it takes a sense of humor
and a sense of faith and trust that this is the right place to be and that the system
is working with us. So as long as we know we have the backing of our management and
of the general public, then it’s fun. I think it would be scary if we didn’t think
that, but we do have it. And so we are entrusted, entitled to spend the public funds for the
most amazing projects we could imagine, and to put people into space, to discover the
beginning of the universe, and I can’t imagine something that would be more fun than that.
So that’s why I’m here.
