RE: [Linda/NASAQuest] Good Morning José!
Buenos Días...

[ Linda/NASAQuest - 14 - 07:54:20 ]
Hello everyone! As you can see José is here - signed on a little early and ready for your questions.

[ Linda/NASAQuest - 15 - 07:55:08 ]
Buenos días, José está en linea para contestar sus preguntas. Bienvenidos at todos!

[ Linda/NASAQuest - 21 - 07:56:40 ]
Buenos días Montgomery High. ¡Qué bien que hayan solucionado sus problemas con la red. Bienvenidos!

RE: [Vianey-students/MontgomeryHigh] ¿Cuántos años tienen sus hijos?
Tengo dos hijos...mi hija Joselyn tiene 4 años y mi hijo Brandon va a cumplir 3 años el mes que viene..

[ Linda/NASAQuest - 27 - 07:59:40 ]
RE: [Theresa-students/MontgomeryHigh] Thank you. Good morning to you too Linda.
Good morning Theresa, Chris called me back to say how disappointed he was that you folks weren't able to finish chatting with him!

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 30 - 08:06:27 ]
RE: [mark/u.a.b] there are a lot of sientific factors that affect the operation of launching the rocket to the space, what are these factors?
Well Mark, There are many factors affecting the launch of the Shuttle, from my knowledge and experience I can say that time of the year is one of the factors that affects the mission based on the sun inclination, the orbit in which it was launched, the mission timeline and the objective of the mission. For example, some experiments might need sun viewing, others might need high inclination to reach other vehicles (Russian Mir missions). It all depends on the objectives of the experiments.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 31 - 08:06:54 ]
RE: [Giovannina-students/MontgomeryHigh] ¿Cuántos años tiene usted?
Tengo 33 años.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 32 - 08:08:04 ]
RE: [Claudia-students/MontgomeryHigh] ¿Todavía tiene astma o está curado?
Bueno..todavía the vez en cuando me da ataques de astma...pero la tengo bajo control.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 35 - 08:10:36 ]
RE: [Edgar-students/MontgomeryHigh] ¿Cuándo usa el Internet en su trabajo?
La mayoria de las veces utilizo el internet para conseguir información, yo diría que la utilizo por lo menos dos a tres veces por semana..

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 37 - 08:12:42 ]
RE: [Linda/NASAQuest] Una pregunta anterior de los estudiantes de Montgomery High:[ students/MontgomeryHigh - 18 - 07:55:30 ] ¿Tiene suficiente tiempo para sus hijos?
Ese tiempo con mis hijos es muy valioso...y siempre les dedico tiempo a mis hijos y a mi esposa.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 38 - 08:16:42 ]
RE: [Linda/NASAQuest] Y Luz pregunta: [ Luz-students/MontgomeryHigh - 20 - 07:56:36 ] ¿Tiene mucho trabajo en un día normal?
Todo depende...a veces hay días que estoy bien ocupado y a veces no...en los días que no estoy muy ocupado me dedico a trabajar con proyectos que no sean de tanta demanda.

[ Linda/NASAQuest - 41 - 08:23:09 ]
For anyone checking in now, we are delighted to be receiving questions in Spanish, but please don't be intimidated if you have questions in English also. This is a BI-lingual chat!

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 42 - 08:23:16 ]
RE: [Linda/NASAQuest] Otra pregunta: [ Lilliana-students/MontgomeryHigh - 19 - 07:55:55 ]¿Qué ha sido lo mas difícil que le a pasado durante este tiempo, que tiene con su carrera?
Bueno...te diría que en sí no han habido tiempos difíciles, sino tiempos lentos...a veces debido al costo de los proyectos estos han sido eliminados y uno se siente que ha perdido el tiempo.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 43 - 08:26:19 ]
RE: [students/MontgomeryHigh] ¿Todo resultó como fue planeado en el hipótesis que ellos hicieron para el proyecto de Neuron?
En general, todos los objetivos se cumplieron en la missión. Especialmente los experimentos en que yo trabajé...con los humanos.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 46 - 08:29:28 ]
RE: [students/MontgomeryHigh] ¿Qué retos tiene en su vida y trabajo?
Mis retos en la vida son tener un doctorado en ciencias ambientales..y convertirme en un experto en ese campo.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 49 - 08:32:16 ]
RE: [students/MontgomeryHigh] Con tantas cosas que tiene que llevar, ¿cómo las organiza para poder mantener en orden?
Eso se lo debo a mis esposa....ella es muy organizada...y me ha pegado la costumbre..y ella también me ayuda con mis estudios, es decir me da todo el tiempo necesario para yo poder estudiar mientras ella cuida a nuestros hijos.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 51 - 08:34:29 ]
RE: [students/MontgomeryHigh] Which of the experiments which you have participated in have given you the most results?
Actually, I don't participate in the experiments I developed and built the hardware needed for the experiment.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 52 - 08:37:21 ]
RE: [students/MontgomeryHigh] ¿Considera su trabajo difícil o fácil? ¿Por qué?
Eso depende...a veces estoy hasta el cuello y frustrado del trabajo...pero siempre salgo hacia delante. Algunas veces me encuentro con problemas que yo no los puedo solucionar, pero pido ayudar....

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 53 - 08:38:29 ]
RE: [students/MontgomeryHigh] ¿Qué opina su familia de su trabajo?
Mi familia está muy orgullosa de mi trabajo y me apoyan 100%.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 57 - 08:43:17 ]
RE: [students/MontgomeryHigh] ¿Por qué cuando un asteroide entra la atmósfera se inciende.
FISICA....fricción con la atmósfera genera energía que se convierte en cambios de temperature.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 60 - 08:46:21 ]
RE: [students/MontgomeryHigh] When will animals go back into space?
I think the Ames Reasearch Center in conjunction with the Japanese Space Agency will be flying some experiments with animals aboard STS-95 on October 1998.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 63 - 08:52:11 ]
RE: [students/MontgomeryHigh] What project are you working on?
I just got assigned to be the Experiment Project Manager for a Mars project. This project is called MIP which stands for Mars In-situ Propellant Product Precursor. This project has five experiments to collect environmental data from the Mars environment. The MIP will fly in 2001.

RE: [Griselda-students/MontgomeryHigh] Does your wife plan to go to school or get a job when your goals are met. In other words will she get the chance to meet her goals in the future?
Actually, my wife has her own business. She is the owner and director of a child care facility. She has graduated from school already....but she plans to start this coming Fall part-time. In other words, her goals have already been met.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 66 - 08:56:09 ]

Well...all my friends in college were hispanic, I graduated from the University of Puerto Rico.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 69 - 08:58:04 ]
RE: [Bob-students/MontgomeryHigh] Are you mentoring any high school or college students?
We get high school and college students every semester to work with us here at NASA. At that point, I become a mentor.

[ Linda/NASAQuest - 68 - 08:57:56 ]
Les agradezco mucho a todos los estudiantes que participaron con preguntas en español y que demostraron su conocimiento de los datos escritos en la biografía de José. Estamos llegando a los últimos minutos de la charla, y quiero extender mis gracias por su buena preparación!

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 71 - 09:00:36 ]
RE: [Bob-students/MontgomeryHigh] What kind of jobs do your hispanic friends from college have?
My hispanic friends from college are all engineers, some are working in pharmaceutical industries in Puerto Rico and others are working all over the US in different types of industries.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 74 - 09:02:42 ]
RE: [Luis-students/MontgomeryHigh] Todo lo que descubren en los experimentos y en los viajes espaciales explican al público o guardan en los archivos de secretos ojts
Después de que los investigadores analizan la data, ellos la publican la cual está acessible al público.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 75 - 09:03:47 ]
RE: [Linda/NASAQuest] If he's willing, I'd like to give José the opportunity to answer these last questions. Thank you for joining us!
I have time left....

[ students/MontgomeryHigh - 76 - 09:03:57 ]
Thank you for answering our questions. Gracias por su tiempo.

[ JoséLimardo/JSC - 77 - 09:08:10 ]
RE: [Griselda-students/MontgomeryHigh] Since you are so enthusiastic about learning, have you ever thought about teaching? PS Bob is embarassed he forgot you graduated from the University of Puerto Rico, but he would like to know how many of your college friends are in careers involving science and math.
About teaching....I'll probably be teaching a class this coming Spring in environmental science (undergraduate level). About my college friends...they were all involved in science and math, some were in engineering, others chemistry, microbiology....

[ Linda/NASAQuest - 78 - 09:11:52 ]
Bueno, Gracias a todos! Ha sido un placer poder charlar con José y espero verlos a todos pronto en otros QuestChats!

[ Linda/NASAQuest - 80 - 09:14:10 ]
