H, I'm Allison Bollinger. I graduated from
Purdue in 2004 with a bachelor's in
aerospace engineering
and I'm currently a NASA flight director.
And my name is Loral O'Hara. I graduated
with a master's in 2009
and i'm currently a NASA astronaut. So
some of my fondest memories at Purdue
are the long hours, nights and weekends spent in
Grissom Hall in the computer lab running
Matlab scripts for Professor Howell's
orbital dynamics classes. And similarly
what some of my favorite memories are
long hours out at Zucrow getting hands-on
experience working on rocket engines and
test setups. So Loral and I spent today
flying the International Space Station
and here at NASA we've got our
Boilermaker fingerprints all over the
current International Space Station and
we'll eventually be shifting our focus
to the Artemis program
to get the first female and the next
human back on
the Moon with the Artemis program. We
wanted to wish
the School of Aeronautics and
Astronautics 75 years of excellence and
congratulations.
Boiler up.
