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

episode 37, Human versus Machine. I'm Gary Jordan and I'll be your host today.

So on this podcast, we bring in the experts and as scientists

engineers astronauts sometimes some of our partners we bring

them right here on the show and tell you all the cool stuff

about NASA so today we're talking about how NASA is looking at how

astronauts work with computers with

Kertina Holden. She goes by Tina. She's a Human Factors Technical Fellow with Lidos

here at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. We had a great discussion

about research being done on the International

Space Station that tests an astronaut's ability to use computers and tablets in their day-to-day

tasks, and what needs to be done to ensure success in their use for future missions that send them deeper into space.

So with no further delay, let's go light speed and jump right ahead to our talk with Dr.

Kertino Holman.

Enjoy. Mark.

A long, we're now on the mid-life circuit, the red.

Here she goes.

Isn't, we have a podcast. Yeah. Well, Tina, thanks for coming on the show today.

This is a very interesting topic because it's about the way humans are interacting with

basically computers with tablets and you wouldn't normally think that

that's an issue right you're think oh I can play with my phone, I can play with a tablet.

Obviously, astronauts can do it on board, but there's more to that story, right?
