Be Good Humans : VEGAS & ZINGERMAN: Out Of This World

SHOW NOTES

The Be Good Humans studio turns into Mission Control as Brian and Trey share their inner love for outer space and welcome celebrated NASA astronaut Colonel James “Vegas” Kelly along with an actual rocket scientist, Julie Zingerman!

Ret. Col. James M. Kelly was selected as a NASA astronaut in 1996. The retired U.S. Air Force Colonel flew on STS-102 in 2001 and STS-114 in 2005. STS-102 delivered the Expedition 2 crew and contents of the Leonardo Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) to the station. STS-114 was the Return-to-Flight mission following the space shuttle Columbia disaster. During that mission, the crew tested and evaluated new procedures for flight safety, shuttle inspection and repair techniques. Col. Kelly has logged more than 641 hours in space. He currently serves as Capsule Communications (CAPCOM) Branch Chief for the Astronaut Office.

Today she is working to help build the next generation of human space rockets following the retirement of the space shuttle, including the Space Launch System for the upcoming Artemis moon missions. Julie was awarded a NASA Silver Snoopy, the highest award the agency presents to less than 1% of its workforce.
