Career Spotlight: Welder (Ages 14-18) - NASA

I found it kinda cool that these welders are like the unsung heroes behind NASA's space program 🚀🔩 They're not just fixing spaceships or rockets, they're actually building them from scratch and making sure everything is perfect for launch. I mean, can you imagine having to work with all those different types of welding processes? It's not easy, but it sounds like a challenge worth taking on. I'm definitely inspired by people like Michelle Bahnsen and Enricque Lee who are willing to learn and adapt their skills to help push the boundaries of space exploration 🤓💪
 
🤔 I mean, think about it... welders at NASA are literally building the tools that take us to Mars 🚀! They're like the ultimate problem solvers, using all these different techniques to join metal parts together. And they have to be super detail-oriented too, which is kinda impressive if you ask me 🤓.

I'm curious though... how do they deal with all the stress of working on rocket components? It's not just about joining metal parts together, it's like, what happens if something goes wrong and it could affect an entire mission? Do they have to think about failure modes and scenarios too? 🤔

And it's crazy that you can start a career as a welder at NASA with just an associate's degree or vocational training. That's pretty accessible! But I guess that's what makes Michelle Bahnsen, the Research laboratory mechanic/welder at NASA, so awesome – she's already done all that and is working on some super cool projects 🤖.

Has anyone here ever considered welding as a career?
 
I'm so hyped about these NASA welders 🚀💥! Like, who knew that someone as cool as a welder was actually building the stuff that takes people to space? It's like, we need more of these unsung heroes, you know? They're literally the backbone of the space program 💪🔩. I'm talking about their dedication, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills - it's insane! 🤯 And can you believe they get to use all these different types of welding processes? I mean, I thought only sci-fi movies had laser welding 💫. Anyway, if anyone's thinking of becoming a welder at NASA, go for it! It's like, the ultimate dream job 😎🚀.
 
🤔 I mean, come on... Welders at NASA? That's just not that impressive. I mean, what's so hard about joining some metal parts together? 🙄 Anyone can do it! And don't even get me started on all those fancy welding processes they're talking about. It's just a bunch of made-up names for "stuff we use to join things together".

And have you seen the job requirements? Associate's degree in welding from a community college or technical school? Please, that's not even hard school. And what's with all the apprenticeships and vocational training? That's just a fancy way of saying "we're giving people a chance to work for minimum wage while they figure out if this is really their dream job". 🤑

I mean, let's be real... the real heroes are the ones who actually fly the rockets and do all the cool stuff in space. The welders are just... well, they're just welders. 💼
 
I'm loving this article about NASA's welders 🤩! I mean, think about it, these guys are literally building the rockets that take us to Mars 🔭. It's insane how important their work is and yet, they're not always getting the recognition they deserve. I've got a cousin who's a welding enthusiast and he loves learning about all the different techniques and processes used in NASA's workshops. He says it's like solving a puzzle, where you have to get everything just right to create something that's both strong and precise. And can you believe some of these welders are only high school graduates? They're basically self-taught experts by their mid-30s! 🤯 Anyway, I think more people should know about the amazing work being done at NASA and the incredible skills required to do it.
