00:04.440 --> 00:07.370
So as you look back at his career , you

00:07.370 --> 00:09.370
think Nasa astronaut and that's all

00:09.370 --> 00:11.750
he's done . But he actually he's been

00:11.750 --> 00:13.917
to comment and done combat deployments

00:13.917 --> 00:16.194
in the Middle East . He's a test pilot .

00:16.194 --> 00:17.806
He's an astronaut . He was a

00:17.806 --> 00:19.917
congressional legislative liaison . I

00:19.917 --> 00:21.972
mean his career is so diverse and he

00:21.972 --> 00:24.139
talked about always pushing himself to

00:24.139 --> 00:26.139
do something outside of his comfort

00:26.139 --> 00:28.490
zone . I took that as an exact you

00:28.490 --> 00:30.546
should go do this , keep challenging

00:30.546 --> 00:32.601
yourself to do different things that

00:32.601 --> 00:34.657
you know , you're uncomfortable with

00:34.657 --> 00:34.300
because you're gonna be in

00:34.300 --> 00:36.411
uncomfortable situations at one point

00:36.411 --> 00:39.280
or another throughout your career . So

00:39.280 --> 00:41.280
my Eagle was Colonel Nick Hague and

00:41.280 --> 00:44.700
he's most well known for his historic

00:44.710 --> 00:47.230
in flight abort in a Soyuz capsule . So

00:47.230 --> 00:49.390
he's a Air Force Colonel now , Space

00:49.390 --> 00:51.460
Force . Um and he's an astronaut at

00:51.460 --> 00:54.670
Nasa astronaut as well . And he uh is

00:54.670 --> 00:57.150
the first american ever to successfully

00:57.340 --> 00:59.562
abort an in flight launch on a rocket .

00:59.740 --> 01:02.000
Yeah . And then to know that he had the

01:02.000 --> 01:04.111
courage to get back on another rocket

01:04.111 --> 01:06.278
less than a year later and actually go

01:06.278 --> 01:08.333
up into space . And then he went and

01:08.333 --> 01:10.389
spent about 203 days in space on the

01:10.389 --> 01:12.611
international space station . So it was

01:12.611 --> 01:12.200
an absolutely incredible experience to

01:12.200 --> 01:14.256
get to uh to interview him . And I'm

01:14.256 --> 01:16.478
looking forward to him coming out for a

01:16.478 --> 01:18.478
capstone weekend , getting to spend

01:18.478 --> 01:18.060
some time with him .

01:22.840 --> 01:24.896
Thank you back on how many ? He's an

01:24.896 --> 01:26.896
experienced man . It's I think it's

01:26.896 --> 01:29.062
transformative because you get to pick

01:29.062 --> 01:31.396
the brains of somebody who's been there ,

01:31.396 --> 01:33.229
who's done it , who's challenged

01:33.229 --> 01:35.173
themselves , who succeeded , who's

01:35.173 --> 01:37.173
survived things that they shouldn't

01:37.173 --> 01:39.340
have survived . And I mean , all those

01:39.340 --> 01:39.190
lessons learned that he passed and I

01:39.190 --> 01:41.134
wish I could give them all in this

01:41.134 --> 01:43.400
interview . But uh I think it's gonna

01:43.400 --> 01:45.850
help impact both myself and asks

01:45.870 --> 01:47.926
students when they come out here for

01:47.926 --> 01:50.300
the capstone week , just his whole his

01:50.300 --> 01:52.078
message of everything is lost .

01:58.740 --> 01:59.060
