ROSARIO: The challenge of flight
is just moving an object through air.
So, aerodynamics is critical.
Understanding of aerodynamics is critical
to optimize how this object, an airplane or a rocket,
will move through air and the forces
and the resistance that that air has on the object
as it moves through that environment.
I think everybody should care about sports.
NASA cares about sports as anybody else cares,
but what NASA brings is a lot of expertise
through the areas that we work on.
We work on airplanes. We work on rockets.
That expertise, the tools,
the knowledge that we gain with that,
is very applicable to the world of sports
and can be used to enhance sports.
I need more help than aerodynamics
to be a better athlete,
but I think that aerodynamics helps me --
Having an understanding of how things work
helps me understand better the sports,
helps me appreciate better how hard it is
what these people that play professional sports are doing.
