00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:02,878
Well happy anniversary Glenn. You know

2
00:00:02,879 --> 00:00:04,559
very specifically my memories of Glenn,

3
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:05,679
when I've been out there a couple of

4
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:06,318
times.

5
00:00:06,319 --> 00:00:07,918
It all revolves around the people, you

6
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:09,759
know the commitment,

7
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,959
the the passion for what they do. When

8
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,239
you go to Glenn and you have an

9
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,598
opportunity to talk to folks about what

10
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:16,719
they're working on and why it's

11
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:17,679
important.

12
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,239
It's a great experience - it really brings

13
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:22,479
to life all that's best in NASA.

14
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,479
And i've had the opportunity to do that

15
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:25,919
on multiple occasions,

16
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,719
and every single time it's been a

17
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,559
wonderful experience.

18
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,639
You know Glenn's deep connection to the

19
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,959
community, to education into the history

20
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,599
of aviation is an inspired example

21
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,119
of what NASA's commitment to make a

22
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,959
meaningful impact on american lives.

23
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,439
really is. When you talk about why Glenn

24
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:43,999
is important

25
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,479
to the NASA mission you know you have to

26
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:48,558
talk about the former Plum Book station -

27
00:00:48,559 --> 00:00:49,199
now the Neil

28
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,599
A. Armstrong testing facility. And you

29
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,679
know they do things, they have capability

30
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,439
and capacity to do things that we can't

31
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,959
find anywhere else.

32
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,639
It's a testament to all that Glenn is

33
00:00:58,640 --> 00:00:59,999
and all that NASA is.

34
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,799
NASA Glenn's constant re-innovation and

35
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,719
innovation has kept NASA

36
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,039
on the cutting-edge of science, technology,

37
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:07,919
exploration,

38
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,639
all the things that are critical to NASA.

39
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,999
So in conclusion I want to say

40
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,239
hey happy anniversary Glenn and we're

41
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,559
all we're all very happy to have you as
