Houston, we have a podcast.

Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center,

episode 13 before his first flight.

I'm Gary Jordan and I'll be your host today.

So this is the podcast where we bring in the experts,

like NASA scientists

engineers sometimes even astronauts and they all tell you the coolest

things going on here at NASA. So today we're talking with Mark Van dehai. He's a

US astronaut here at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, and he just launched

to the International Space Station on September 12, 2017 to go to space for the very first time.

We had a great discussion about his expectations

for flying to space and some of the work and his training

that he had to go through to get ready for his voyage to the station.

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

and jump right ahead to our talk with Mr Mark Van dehi.

Enjoy. T-minus minus by second, county.

Mark.

A long.

Long she goes.

Isn't we have a podcast.

All right, well, thanks for coming today, Mark.

You're very busy, especially coming. All right? All right, well, thanks for coming so close to your launch date.
