1
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: Ohoh, no way. When are you reading, Elliott?

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: I'm finishing the last pages. Amaz, what's your book about

3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: a person who floats? What? A person who floats?

4
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 3: Is it magic?

5
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: Nope? Not magic, it is I'm trying to finish. Elliott

6
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: tell us you's floating.

7
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,919
Speaker 1: Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids, where we

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: discover fascinating facts about the world around us and the

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: fun of play learning happy Hispanic Heritage month. Today we're

10
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: learning a little bit about one Latina scientist who is

11
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: out of this world? Why is she floating? Let's find out.

12
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 2: Are you done with your book?

13
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: Yes, just finish, Elliott tell us.

14
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: Who it's about. Her name is ell I've never heard

15
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: of her. Why was she floating?

16
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 3: Because she was in space?

17
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, true, Billy. Everything in space floats because there's no gravity.

18
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: What gravity?

19
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: Gravity is what keeps you and all of us on

20
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: the ground. It also makes things fall Without gravity, objects

21
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: just float around.

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: No gravity is also why Ellen Nachoa didn't eat bread. Well,

23
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: she did need bread and space because the chrome should

24
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: float away.

25
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: Oh what did you use for sandwiches?

26
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: Tortilla?

27
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: Because they don't have chromes. Good idea, Ellen at Shoa.

28
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: She has lots of good ideas.

29
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: Is Ellen Choa and an astronauts? Yep?

30
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: And I think she's the coolest astronaut ever. That's why

31
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to be just like her. Want to know

32
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: some more things about her? Yeah, she went to space

33
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 2: four times. She brought her flute to space. That's an instrument,

34
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: and she controlled a robot in space.

35
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 3: Ellen Ochoa has done so many things in space.

36
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: Yep. And when she was finished going to space, Ellen

37
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: helped other astronauts go there.

38
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: How did she do that?

39
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: She worked at a space place, SpacePlace.

40
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: She really did work at a space place. It's called

41
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 1: the NASA Johnson Space Center. Doctor Ochoa was the director there.

42
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: There's another special thing about Ellen Ochoa too. What is it?

43
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: She was the first Hispanic woman to go to space.

44
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 2: Oh wait, why is that special?

45
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 3: Can't any kind of person go to space?

46
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: Well, yes, any person can become an astronaut, but Latino people,

47
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: especially women, did not always have the opportunity. So being

48
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: the first is a really big deal. Ellen O'choa was

49
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: an example for other Hispanic women. After ellen Ochoa, they

50
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: could imagine themselves going to space too.

51
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: Cool.

52
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: Elean O'choa's first mission was in nineteen ninety three on

53
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: the Space Shuttle Discovery. This year is the thirtieth anniversary

54
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: of her first visit to space.

55
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: Happy thirtieth anniversary to space, Ellen and Shoa.

56
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: Let's clap for her kids at home. You can clap too.

57
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, speaking of going to space, I think I'll go.

58
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: Howie has me my space clothes.

59
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: Here you go, Eliot, Well, slow down, Elliot.

60
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: It's wonderful you're excited to go to space. But I

61
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: think there are a lot of things to know and

62
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: practice before you could be an astronaut.

63
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: Nah, I'm pretty sure I can just go. I think

64
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: floating will be easy for me, and I love tortillas already.

65
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: I think it. Well, I still think there's more to

66
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: it than being a natural at floating loving tortillas. Like what, well,

67
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what. Why don't we travel back in

68
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: time to see how Ellen Ochoa did it?

69
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

70
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: The first snapshot is of Ellen Ochoa at home when

71
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: she was a kid. Ellie grew up in a busy house.

72
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: She has a big family. Look I see her over there.

73
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 2: She just finished a big pile of horn.

74
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: She's smiling.

75
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 3: She must really like school.

76
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: I think she works hard.

77
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: Ellen Ochoa did like school, and she did a lot

78
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: of it, eventually earning three degrees. Elliott, what did elean

79
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: Ochoa do when she was a kid that helped her

80
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: become an astronaut?

81
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 2: She worked really hard at school.

82
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: Yes.

83
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: Now let's travel to another time.

84
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's peak at elean Ochoa in the marching band

85
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 3: in high school.

86
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: There she is playing the.

87
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: Flute, she's watching the conductor so she can play her

88
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: notes at the right time, and she's making music exactly

89
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: with the other flute players. She's paying attention to them

90
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: so they can sound good as a group.

91
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: Yes, ellen Ochoa played her fluting groups like concert band,

92
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: marching band, and orchestra. Practiced working together with others by

93
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: playing music with them. Elliott, what do you think ellen

94
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: Ochoa learned?

95
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 3: Hmmm.

96
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: I think she learned how to be a good play.

97
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: Yes, and that's an important skill for an astronaut. Now

98
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: let's visit one more time in her life. Yeah, now

99
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: Ellen's a grown up.

100
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: She's getting something out of the mill.

101
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 3: Look that envelope, says Nasa.

102
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: I bet she's gonna find out if she'd gotten to

103
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: astronaut training. Oh no, she didn't get in, but she

104
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: wants to be an astronaut so bad.

105
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: It's true she didn't get in. She was turned down twice. Actually,

106
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: oh no, I feel.

107
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: Sad for her.

108
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: When I don't get picked for something, I get him arrest.

109
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: Ellen Ochoa didn't spend too much time worrying. Instead, she

110
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: learned how to fly a plane so she'd have a

111
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: better chance of getting picked next time. Wow, Elliott, what

112
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: do you think Ellen Ochoa learned not to give up.

113
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: He kept trying even after someone told her no.

114
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 3: He believed in herself.

115
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, time to go home.

116
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: Now.

117
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: That was an exciting day. I guess being an astronaut

118
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: is more than voting in eating tortillas.

119
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: Lingo Kids listeners, thanks for joining today's Spacey Journey with

120
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: Ellen Ochoa, the first Hispanic woman astronaut. We learned some

121
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: steps you can take if you would like to be

122
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: an astronaut, just like doctor Ocholla. One day, study hard

123
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: in school, practice being a good teammate, and believe in yourself.

124
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 1: See it in space.

125
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 3: Mm hmm
