[From transcript] Jim and Geoff discuss his early formative years, including a memorable Scouting adventure. After getting a tour of the Boeing wind tunnel at the University of Washington, Jim decided that aero-engineering would be a cool career. In the 1960s, he was hired by NASA and helped design the Apollo spacesuits, the EMU (Extravehicular Mobility Unit), and the LSU (Life Support Unit). He also served as the flight surgeon in Mission Control for most of the Apollo Missions, including Apollo 11. In civilian life, he attained a Master's degree in physiology and became an MD. He is now an OB-GYN practicing at Northwest Hospital in Seattle, Washington.
