1
00:00:20,330 --> 00:00:17,630
Phoenix is a lander that's going to the

2
00:00:23,150 --> 00:00:20,340
north polar highlands of Mars to look

3
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:23,160
for evidence of habitable zones places

4
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:25,410
where life might have existed in the

5
00:00:39,549 --> 00:00:37,360
moving flight hardware not even to

6
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:39,559
mention an entire spacecraft is usually

7
00:00:45,729 --> 00:00:42,170
a delicate affair it's very meticulously

8
00:00:47,410 --> 00:00:45,739
coordinated there's you know arranging a

9
00:00:50,410 --> 00:00:47,420
police escort at three in the morning on

10
00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:50,420
a Monday morning and all the state and

11
00:00:53,579 --> 00:00:51,680
local authorities that need to know

12
00:00:56,020 --> 00:00:53,589
about something like that and all the

13
00:00:58,299 --> 00:00:56,030
paperwork that's required to essentially

14
00:01:00,609 --> 00:00:58,309
close down a section of the highway for

15
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:00,619
a period of time there's a whole

16
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:02,930
analysis process that goes along with

17
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:05,449
making sure that the spacecraft on the

18
00:01:09,639 --> 00:01:07,490
back of a truck on a flatbed trailer in

19
00:01:11,260 --> 00:01:09,649
the box that is in isn't going to be

20
00:01:14,230 --> 00:01:11,270
exposed to any environment that it's not

21
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:14,240
rated for so we know how much force a

22
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:15,770
pothole in the road will induce on the

23
00:01:21,899 --> 00:01:20,010
just a little bit into the trip it's we

24
00:01:23,399 --> 00:01:21,909
had kind of a light rain and that's

25
00:01:25,710 --> 00:01:23,409
another thing that just makes you feel

26
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:25,720
at ease with your spacecraft that you've

27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:27,490
had in the clean room up until that that

28
00:01:37,350 --> 00:01:34,090
point in time we have to fly a

29
00:01:45,170 --> 00:01:37,360
spacecraft on a plane all the way from

30
00:01:52,550 --> 00:01:45,180
one side of the country to the other and

31
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:54,469
you kind of look at the box and you look

32
00:02:02,590 --> 00:01:55,770
at the aircraft you wonder whose it is

33
00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:05,179
when they open those rear doors there's

34
00:02:10,490 --> 00:02:07,920
this cavernous space inside even as big

35
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:10,500
as it is this box just barely fits

36
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:24,369
it was a really kind of manual brute

37
00:02:42,530 --> 00:02:37,430
it looks just like we're loading a box

38
00:02:49,099 --> 00:02:45,709
inside this box is such an enormous

39
00:02:50,899 --> 00:02:49,109
treasure this is something that these

40
00:02:55,390 --> 00:02:50,909
hundreds and hundreds of people have

41
00:03:02,630 --> 00:02:59,479
we've got air force pilots most

42
00:03:05,949 --> 00:03:02,640
trustworthy people they are flying this

43
00:03:09,349 --> 00:03:05,959
spacecraft from Denver to Cape Canaveral

44
00:03:17,380 --> 00:03:09,359
and we trust these pilots but we still

45
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:21,220
we're tracking this spacecraft and this

46
00:03:27,370 --> 00:03:23,690
plane as its flying across the country

47
00:03:31,630 --> 00:03:27,380
and as Florida comes into view we think

48
00:03:33,940 --> 00:03:31,640
oh we're okay and we can relax we can't

49
00:03:36,010 --> 00:03:33,950
be relieved because we have up still a

50
00:03:39,130 --> 00:03:36,020
huge amount of work to do to get this

51
00:03:41,620 --> 00:03:39,140
spacecraft to the launch pad assembled

52
00:04:08,030 --> 00:03:41,630
properly all fueled up and ready to go
