Happy Fourth of July! I am spending my July 4th living a dream. I have had the rare honor and privilege of working as an Electrical Engineering intern for NASA Langley this summer! The work has been fun, challenging, and exciting, and the time has flown by. I am already near the halfway point of my internship!
In addition to working on fantastic projects, I was also asked to give a presentation about my R2-D2 to the Office of the Director, the Engineering Directorate, and the Science Directorate. After a long, bumpy ride through the mountains, R2 suffered a slight malfunction during his first few minutes in front of the Virginia crowd. His controller stopped working - this was a malfunction that had never occurred before. Fortunately, I always care spare parts and a full toolkit, so R2 quickly recovered. It was both humbling and thrilling to give a presentation to many of the most brilliant minds in America.
Working at NASA this summer has surpassed all of my dreams and expectations! It is a summer I will never forget.
Below is a very brief video of R2's visit at NASA.
