Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
All right, Maxy, this is it. This time we get
to do the intro. But I'm super nervous. You know what,
You're right, Maxi. We just have to do what Emily
always does when each episode of Growing Up starts. Welcome
to Growing Up, a lingo kids podcast that helps kids

(00:27):
discover how to be yes whatever they want to be.
Thanks Maxy. In this final episode of season three, we'll
be talking to none other than drum Roll. Please Emily callenchrelly. Yep,

(00:49):
that's our Emily. She just got back from space. So
we're going on a time travel adventure and we're gonna
see what it takes to be a real life astronaut.
Ready to take off, Maxie, let's go, Okay, Maxie, I

(01:25):
just finished setting up this amazing telescope. I just love
storry nights at the local park.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
We can see all of the night sky.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I mean, how cool is that? Oh? If you look
through a telescope, you can see very very far away, Maxie,
like the Moon far away. You know, there's a dwarf
planet called Pluto, just like Pluto the Dog. I'd love
to go to space one day too, Houston. We're fast
approaching the Maxi planet. Nope, it's not a big planet.

(01:57):
That's just the name Louise Maxie High.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Emily, Oh, few, good thing I found you. I have
something to tell you both.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Oh, I know you brought your own telescope.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Nope, but I have been looking at the sky a
lot for another reason.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Oh why is that, Emily? Wait, did you see any
aliens flying by?

Speaker 2 (02:22):
No? No aliens. I just got invited to be a
part of a space mission.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
What like an astronaut, A real astronaut.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
That's right, a person who goes to space.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Wow, I can't believe it. Maxy, look through the telescope, Emily,
will go up there see where all the stars are.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
And is that what you always wanted to do? I mean,
who doesn't want to go to space? But really, did
you always want to be an astronaut?

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh? Well, back when I was your age, I was
more of an art person. I also loved math, but
I actually started dreaming about going to space when I
was older.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Oh that's cool. I've always wondered if there's life out
there in space, you.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Know, Yeah, people have been wondering about that for centuries.
Is there anyone else out there? Are we alone in
the universe? Are there alien astronauts?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
What else do astronauts do, Emily?

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Well, some astronauts work at the International Space Station, which
is a very important research space station in space, and
others just want to see Earth from above.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Why did they pick you to go on that space mission?

Speaker 2 (03:41):
You know, Luise, I've been learning and talking about space
and science and doing science experiments for like ever. That's
how I actually earned a spot to go on this
space mission. And guess what, I could be the one
hundredth woman in space.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
You'll make history, Emily. And where are you going? I
have to get popcorn ready to see your flight.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh that's a good question, Louise, because I'm still not
sure if I'll be going.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Wait what, I can't believe it?

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Why, Louise, I have so many things to do here
back on Earth. There's my family, my job, there's growing up.
I mean, I can't just jump off to space anytime
I like.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
But it's still worth it, Emily, How can I convince
you to go? Hey there? Thanks for being here for
this super special episode of growing up and for hanging
out with us.
