Houston, we have a podcast. Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center,

episode 47, astronaut MD. I'm Gary Jordan and I'll be your host today. So if you're new to the show,

we bring in NASA experts to talk about all the different parts of our

Space Agency and sometimes we get lucky enough to bring in astronauts to tell their story.

So today we're chatting with Serena Onen Chancellor.

She's a U.S. astronaut and she's about to launch to the

International Space Station for her first spaceflight. She told us about her

education going for engineering and medicine, her time at NASA as a flight surgeon,

and her training expectations

before her first trip to space.

So with no further delay, let's go light speed

and jump right ahead to our talk

with Dr. Serena On and Chancellor.

Enjoy. Mark.

The Honesty Midlights are correct.

Isn't we have a podcast? Soina, thanks so much for coming on the podcast today.

Absolutely.

You were really busy beforehand, you actually had a run from the fluid

study to get here and we're actually doing it while you were here that's right that's

right collecting science happens 24-7 prior to flight. Oh my gosh I'm well I

really appreciate your time honestly because I really now that you're about to go to the international space station

this is the perfect time to sit down and kind of go through your story.
