Episode 130: #OnTheStacks in the blu door studio with Fred Aebli aka Mr. Fred, creator of GetMeCoding.com. As a Star Wars '1977' kid, he was propelled into thinking "how do I get to space?" After graduating from Penn State, he realized the only way to get there was via the Astronaut Corps, so he pursued a military commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Marines, traveled the globe pre-911, and was eventually promoted to Major. When he returned home from active duty, he worked as a network engineer on early stage internet development for Bell Atlantic (now Verizon), as a software developer for Oracle, and later became an IST professor at Penn State. After seeing a growing decline in kids exploring coding and "tinkering" with tech, along with the growing demand for IT professionals, he came up with the idea of GetMeCoding.com to teach kids coding and show them how fantasy/sci-fi can be doorways to new opportunities.

SpaceX and Shift4 CEO Jared Isaacman are heading back to space-- training for the first of three human space flights under the Polaris program. Polaris establishes a private astronaut corps for SpaceX and will culminate in the inaugural flight of mega Starship rocket with people onboard. Polaris Dawn is set to launch as early as December, with the first ever commercial spacewalk and test of Starlink communications. The tech billionaire joins Morgan in the midst of fighter jet training to talk SpaceX and the state of commercial space.

When I was young, I wasn't one to utter the sentence “When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut!” I was fascinated by other things—geography, maps, and languages—and studied foreign languages, oceanography, and geology in college and beyond. You might think that sounds like an odd background for an astronaut, but astronauts come from a wider range of professional experience than most people recognize. So, how exactly did I go from being a marine biologist by trade to joining the NASA Astronaut Corps? In this episode, I outline my journey from earth science to space exploration and my secret sauce to getting accepted into NASA's Astronaut Corps. You'll learn what it takes for someone to get interviewed by NASA's astronaut selection team. I explain how NASA's astronaut selection team works and describe how competitive the application process is. You'll hear about my interest in foreign languages and exploration as a child and how I became passionate about oceanography. I also underscore the importance of situational awareness skills and highlight the mindset and attitude critical to whatever you're doing in life—whether it's on Earth or in space. “My secret sauce was that natural matter-of-fact, get-it-done, complete-the-mission attitude. My story spoke to an ability to be disciplined about carrying out a plan but alert to recognize when it's not working—and then quick to adapt to the new circumstances.” - Kathy Sullivan This week on Kathy Sullivan Explores: NASA's competitive astronaut selection process How the burgeoning commercial space industry may change astronaut selection The US/Soviet space race and the first human to orbit Earth How I became interested in oceanography, geology, and foreign languages as a child Transitioning from my marine geology career to NASA's space exploration program How my ocean research expeditions may have helped my NASA astronaut application The two ways to screw up a procedure and the mindset critical to every astronaut Our Favorite Quotes: “This is what astronaut training is about: honing your situational awareness skills and developing a deep understanding of the assumptions and circumstances that every plan and every procedure is based on.” - Kathy Sullivan “There are only two ways to screw up a procedure: one, is to fail to execute it exactly as written; the other is to execute it exactly as written, meaning that when some changes of circumstance have rendered your plan or procedure void, you can't just carry it out originally the way you wrote it” - Kathy Sullivan Spaceship Not Required I'm Kathy Sullivan, the only person to have walked in space and gone to the deepest point in the ocean.

Today we have a Combat Story first with our first Astronaut who spent over 377 days in space and completed 10 spacewalks (where he's actually out in space in nothing but his suit): Chris Cassidy. Before he joined NASA, Chris was a Navy SEAL and was one of the very first sent into Afghanistan in 2001 after 9/11. There's very little Chris has not accomplished. He attended the US Naval Academy, received a Master of Science in Ocean Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and has two Honorary PhD's. As a SEAL, Chris earned a Bronze Star with Valor and a Presidential Unit Citation for combat in Afghanistan. He was NASA's 14th Chief Astronaut, which is the head of NASA's Astronaut Corps and is the principal advisor to the NASA Administrator on astronaut training and operations.Chris is incredibly humble given his accomplishments and it's no surprise he is now President and CEO of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation, where he's leading efforts to build out an iconic Museum for MOH recipients, a Leadership Institute, and a Monument on the National Mall.I hope you enjoy this view from Space from such a down to Earth man as much as I did.

For the 20th episode of the human performance podcast Alex is joined by Dr. Scott Parazynski who is a highly decorated physician, athlete, astronaut, and tech CEO and US Astronaut Hall of Famer. He is a widely sought after keynote speaker on innovation, risk management, mentorship and leadership under extreme adversity. Scott has lived and traveled all over the world, spending many of his grade school years in places such as Senegal, Lebanon, Iran and Greece. A graduate of Stanford University and Medical School, he went on to train at Harvard and in Denver for a career in emergency medicine and trauma. In 1992 he was selected to join NASA's Astronaut Corps and eventually flew 5 Space Shuttle missions and conducted 7 spacewalks. Mission highlights include a global ozone mapping flight; leading the first joint US-Russian spacewalk while docked to the Russian space station Mir; serving as Senator John Glenn's crewmate and “personal physician”; and assembly of the Canadian-built space station robotic arm. In October 2007, Scott led the spacewalking team on STS-120, during which he performed 4 EVAs. The final EVA is regarded by many as one of the most challenging and dangerous ever performed. The tremendous coordinated effort in orbit and on the ground by Mission Control has been likened to the Space Shuttle and Space Station era's “Apollo 13 moment.” In addition to being a diver and accomplished mountaineer, Scott is also a commercial, instrument, multiengine and seaplane-rated pilot. On May 20, 2009, he became the first astronaut to stand on top of the world, the summit of Mount Everest. As a life-long explorer, he and a colleague recently set the first bootprints adjacent the world's youngest lava lake, inside the crater of Massaya Volcano in Nicaragua. He is a prolific inventor/product developer, and serves on the Boards of several companies.

Dr. Rhea Seddon is a woman of many firsts. One of only six women in her medical school class of 100, she was the first woman ever accepted to the surgery residency program at her university. In 1978, she was one of the first six women accepted into the Astronaut Corps, and when she married fellow astronaut Capt. Robert “Hoot” Gibson, they became the first active astronauts to wed. Together they produced the first official “astrotots” (children born to two astronauts). In addition to her space career, Dr. Seddon's life experiences have led her from surgeon to licensed private pilot, to healthcare executive, entrepreneur, author, president of a large women's charity group and now, professional speaker. Entering the Astronaut Corps in 1978, she served the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for nineteen years, spending thirty days in space aboard three Space Shuttle flights. After leaving NASA in 1997, Dr. Seddon was appointed the Assistant Chief Medical Officer of the Vanderbilt University Medical Group in Nashville, where she focused on innovative systems and methodologies for improving teamwork in healthcare. Eleven years later, she continued that work as a founding partner of LifeWings Partners, LLC, which teaches those concepts to healthcare institutions across the United States. She is a member of both the Tennessee Aviation Hall of Fame and Tennessee Women's Hall of Fame, and her significant contributions to aeronautics and science were recognized in 2015 when she became the eighth woman inducted into the Astronaut Hall of Fame. That year, she also published her autobiography, Go For Orbit, and in 2016, she was awarded the Independent Book Publishers Association Ben Franklin Gold Award for Best Autobiography/Memoir. Based on her diverse life experiences, Dr. Seddon enjoys sharing the wisdom gained and lessons learned as she speaks nationally and internationally about teamwork, leadership and inspiring others to recognize and act upon life's many opportunities. Show Highlights: I loved being able to have something important I wanted to do, and understand I may never get there, so what knowing I had to figure out Plan B. —Dr. Rhea SeddonIt's an obstacle to overcome people's biases about you. —Dr. Rhea SeddonWe had to prove ourselves and I think that's something women will always have to do when they do something new or something people think they won't be successful that. —Dr. Rhea SeddonIf I persevered and kept trying, I could do things that I never thought I could. —Dr. Rhea SeddonWhen you have the confidence and have navigated problems in the past, you come out at the end. A lot of times, it has to do with mentors or a bucket list you might have. There are a lot of ways people can get past what, at the time, looks like an insurmountable barrier. But you have to give it time. —Dr. Rhea SeddonWhen you're having difficulty, you just put one foot in front of the other until you come out on the other side. —Dr. Rhea SeddonIt has never occurred to me to be mediocre. My father always encouraged me to do what I wanted but he also told me to be good at it. To do your best. —Dr. Rhea SeddonI always tell fathers of daughters how important they are in their daughter's lives. —Dr. Rhea SeddonI hope to be able to inspire people until I'm very old. —Dr. Rhea Seddon Dr. Seddon's final thoughts: When you're discouraged, I think it's really helpful to have other people to lift you up and remind you that everyone has a contribution in this world and talents. Sometimes you can't walk that path all by yourself and you have to find people to help you get through it.

Dr. Rick Brinkman is a communications expert who teaches conscious communication for leadership, teamwork, and customer service applications. As a medical naturopath, Dr. Rick Brinkman discovered that the mental and physical health of his patients were entwined. He brings this knowledge to business communication, creating a holistic approach to information dissemination. In this episode, we discussed now negativity surrounding meetings can serve as a barrier, preventing the proper retention of information. If your employees resent the meetings they’ve brought into, why should they pay attention? Yet if you empower people to change the ways in which they meet, you can get better results — sometimes increasing output by up to 25 percent without any additional cost to you. Dr. Brinkman explains that in terms of structure, meetings are divided into four important categories: preparation, processing, people, and time. Mastering all of these leads to effective meetings and effective leadership. Running bad meetings will eventually lead to a lack of confidence in your leadership, as your employees may doubt your decision-making abilities. Bad meetings waste your time, your employee’s time, and ultimately your company’s time. Dr. Rick Brinkman offers numerous incredible tips on how to improve your meetings and offers a document — called a “cage rattling document” — for convincing higher level executives.
