Take 5 with Andrew Schnell! ⏰ Andrew is NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory's acting project manager at #NASAMarshall - which is celebrating its 25th year of exploring the universe this year. 15 years into his NASA career, Andrew said the entire Chandra team continues to motivate him. See what else he had to say about his time at NASA 👇 ❓ What excites you most about the future of human space exploration, or your NASA work, and your team’s role it? The thing that excites me the most about working with Chandra is that not only are we helping scientists rewrite our understanding of the universe today, but the data we collect with Chandra now will answer questions that scientists haven’t even asked yet. Years from now, an astrophysicist, maybe one who hasn’t been born yet, is going to have a theory about how some aspect of the universe works, and they’re going to use the data we’re collecting right now to test their theory. ❓ Who or what inspired you to pursue an education/career that led you to NASA and Marshall? I was a summer intern at Marshall in 2001 and 2002, working with Mike Tinker, who was a structural engineer here in the Engineering Directorate. Mike would mentor several interns every summer, pushing us to write conference papers based on our projects. I will never forget his kindness and his willingness to work with interns every summer, all while managing his other tasks. He inspired me, not only to pursue a career at NASA, but to seek out opportunities to serve as a mentor for interns, co-ops, and younger engineers.
