00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Ray Rubilotta: Associate Center Director: We are NASA’s preeminent science center.

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,000
We execute NASA’s most complex science

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
missions, and we improve lives on

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Earth daily.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Named for the father of modern rocketry, Dr. Robert H. Goddard,

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
we are NASA’s first space flight center.  We began

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
began an era of space flight and innovation that is benefitting humanity

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,920
and enhancing life on Earth.

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,000
We are home to the nation's

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
largest organization of scientists, engineers and

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
technologists who build spacecraft, instruments and new

12
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
technology to study Earth, the sun, our

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,220
solar system and the universe.

14
00:00:52,540 --> 00:00:56,000
Our dedicated civil servants and contractors are modernizing

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Goddard’s Institutions and infrastructure for the future.

16
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,000
We are transforming this facility

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
into a premier science and research facility.

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
I invite you to read our Master Plan “Envision Goddard, Modernizing

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
for the Future.” Learn how Goddard will meet the challenges

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
of the future; exploring our planet and the far reaches of our

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
universe, while inspiring the next generation of explorers

23
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,860
and protecting our environment.

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
We are Goddard Space Flight Center.
