Topics
Patti Boyd: 本期节目探讨了艺术、科学与太空探索之间的关联，并介绍了NASA长期以来与艺术家合作的案例，以及艺术如何帮助人们理解和分享太空探索的体验。 Reggie Watts: 我从小对科学和太空探索充满好奇，这种好奇心深刻地影响了我的音乐创作。音乐的结构具有数学基础，而我对宇宙的探索也体现在音乐中，这是一种将科学与艺术相结合的方式。即兴创作的过程如同工程设计，需要整合各种信息并进行自我组织，这是一种艺术形式，也是一种工程思维的体现。 Matthew Dominick: 工程、科学和艺术三者相互关联，工程师需要具备艺术家的创造力，将科学知识转化为实际的太空探索工具。作为一名宇航员，我有责任通过艺术形式，向世界分享我在太空看到的景象，因为艺术是超越人类视觉局限的有效工具。艺术和故事讲述是有效地传达太空探索体验的工具，因为它们能激发人们对科学的兴趣。在高风险任务中，我们需要进行充分的准备，预想各种可能发生的故障，这是一种“想象力失效”的训练过程。压力能够让人进入高度专注的“超聚焦”状态，而这种状态可以通过反复的压力训练来获得。飞行员对飞机弹射座椅的熟悉过程，体现了对高风险情况的逐步适应和心理准备。即兴创作过程中，我会进入一种“流状态”，在这个状态下，我能够整合以往的经验，并对突发情况做出快速反应。

Shownotes Transcript

NASA has a long history of bringing together science, engineering and art. Space exploration is a human endeavor—one that requires creativity. In this special live episode, NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick and comedian and musician Reggie Watts talk flow states, aircraft ejector seats and more. Plus, a new NASA tool) that lets you make music from iconic Hubble Space Telescope imagery.
