Houston, we have a podcast.

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

episode 98 soldier, physician, astronaut.

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

If you're new to the show, we bring in the NASA experts to talk about all the different parts of our agency.

Sometimes we get lucky enough to bring in astronauts to talk about their story.

So today we're talking with Andrew Morgan, goes by Drew.

He's a US astronaut who is about to launch

to the International Space Station this July 2019

for his very first spaceflight.

We discussed his journey from moving around

in a military family, his education to become a medical doctor,

his time in the military as a flight surgeon and parachuting out of planes, and his training

that has prepared him for his extended stay in space that will take him through three

expeditions over just about nine months.

That's a long time to be away from family, so joining us is his wife Stacy Morgan

to talk about how she and their four children are prepared for Drew's mission.

So here's the story of NASA astronaut, medical doctor, and US Army Colonel Andrew Morgan.

Enjoy. Enjoy it. T-minus by seconds and county.

Mark.
