Spacewalks require a lot more preparation than just donning your spacesuit, grabbing your zero-grav martini shaker and stepping out of the airlock. See NASA astronaut Michael Massimino talk about the team effort that went into preparing to repair the Hubble Space Telescope, in this clip from the 2014 World Science Festival program "Cool Jobs."

Imagine exploring the Amazon river to dig up a rare breed of leeches, or heading into space to repair the famed Hubble Space Telescope, or crawling through a tiny crevice in the Earth in search of remains of our earliest ancestors. Well, you don’t have to just imagine these spectacular feats. The World Science Festival has assembled the coolest group of scientists with the most interesting jobs on the planet, who’ll tell you first hand about these explorations and much more. Join us to start your own quest to find a Cool Job in science.
