How was your training process? Sorry, a selection process before your training process? Would you just try to... Yeah, the selection... I don't know what's harder, the selection or the training. It was long. We had... It was probably a year and a half between when NASA announced that there was going to be a new space shuttle class. When I finally got to interview and then they finally made the decision, it was a long time. There was a lot of paperwork back in the day. It was actually paper. You had to go to the printer and print out an encyclopedia. Now it's all online. You do that, then when I did it, we had one interview. It was a week-long interview. Now they have two shorter interviews where you come down to Houston and then you sit around and wait and wait and wait and then got the call, but it was a long process. How was the moment when you found out you selected in 2000? It was pretty awesome. So, excuse me, that moment I was at work. I just flown an F-16 test mission and I had my whole team around. Of course, the whole base knew there was a handful of us that were waiting to hear because I was at Evergair Force Base. There was a lot of people had applied and they knew that I was down to the final group of people. The chief of the astronaut office called me Charlie Prequart and he said, hey, Terry, do you still interested in coming to Houston? I was like, let me think about that. Yes, but he said, you can't tell anybody because Congress hasn't approved the list. Your class hasn't been approved yet, so don't tell anybody. He's sitting around watching my face turned pink and red and then they were like, what do you say what do you say? I was like, I don't know, nothing. I couldn't say anything. Then about a minute later on the squadron loudspeaker, it said celebration party for Terry after work today. It was pretty fun. It was a pretty cool moment. In terms of your selection, do you think there was a specific trait that they were impressed by? Yeah, this is besides my good looks and humility. I think one of the things that I had done that really stood out was that I had minored in French at the Air Force Academy and I had done an exchange at the French Air Force Academy and I had done an exchange with a Finnish family in Finland. I had some international experience. I could speak different languages. At the time we were building the International Space Station and so being able to work with foreign countries, especially Russia because a lot of our work is in Russian language was good and there was lots and lots of smarter than me, test pilots and stuff, but I did have that French background and I think that really set me apart. Plus, it didn't hurt that Charlie Precourt, the Chief of the astronaut office, had also done the same French exchange 10 years before me. So that was probably a good thing. But there's a lot of people that are really smart and good at what they do. It's important to have something to separate you or to make you stand out.
