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

episode 343, New Year, new host. I'm Gary Jordan, and I am one of many voices of Houston, we have a

podcast. We bring in the experts,

scientists, engineers, and astronauts all to let you know what's going on in the world

of human space flight. Seven years ago this week we released the first episode

of Houston We have a podcast. We've had had such incredible conversations over this time,

and the show has grown, changed, and evolved.

Just this past year, we celebrated 300 episodes after our sixth year, kicked off our Mars Audio Log monthly series,

which we'll be wrapping up soon, recorded on location in a thermal vacuum chamber, and

chatted with 25 astronauts. We also recently started to introduce new

hosts to the podcast. This is something I've wanted to do for quite some time and

I've been very happy to bring in new voices and new perspectives.

For this episode, in celebration of seven years of Houston Waver Podcast, we bring in all of the current hosts.

We all work in the same office, the Johnson Space Center's Office for Communications under the External Relations Office.

So on this episode, we talk a little more about what we do, we swap some stories,

and we discuss our passion for communication and human spaceflight at NASA.

Happy birthday to us. With that, let's get right into it.

Enjoy. P minus a time second,

a second county.

Mark.

Mission start.
