I hope she knows how freaking cool she is

[niveaulimbo]

All these astronauts seem like incredibly nice people.

[coreno]

No offense to every other profession out there, but astronauts will always be the coolest

[MDHUSSAIN-lipm]

She is the type of teacher that I won’t be shy to ask questions to

[supermonkey]

I saw this on my recommended and I was wondering " how haven't I seen this already " and then I saw that it was posted a couple of minutes ago. I am really glad that you guys are keeping the series alive.

[assafrotbach]

The way she enjoys talking about her job is amazing

I got accepted into two colleges for aerospace engineering. This just motivated me more.

Update: Make that 3 colleges 😊

Update 2: Currently in my sophomore year at WVU in aerospace engineering. Absolutely loving every second of it ❤

“i remember floating there and thinking” is such a wild statement

[Query-san]

I just want them to bring her back and ask her how they deal with periods in space. Do they have to take pills to inhibit the period completely or do they have have a special way in dealing?

[katearlineosmers]

Nicole did a skype interview in one of my classes once. It was awesome. Got involved in the NASA NEEMO project because of her

[agentK]

We should let smart people like these run countries instead of the usual shortsighted nincompoops.

[FirstnameLastname-knsw]

These Q&A videos are great but if she's interested you should ask her to do videos on items of her choice like you do with the linguist videos.

[scarlettc]

This is so awesome! Nicole is a huge inspiration! You can really tell she loves everything about this job

[damal]

My dream job is to become an astronaut and many people laugh at me but this video just gave me more inspiration to keep moving forward 💖

[krissyp]

Wow, what a great person! So intellectual and yet humble. Very well-spoken.

[KimberlyGreen]

Had lunch once with astronaut Robert Curbeam, prior to STS-116, to continue assembling the ISS. Can confirm ... astronauts & NASA personnel are awesome people, Nicole included.

[cleverusername]

WIRED please keep doing these astronaut videos!

[paperman]

I love seeing people talk about the things they love

[bhaveerathod]

I hope atleast 1 person who viewed this video gets to go to space :)
