1
00:00:05,829 --> 00:00:03,990
the shuttle program has been successful

2
00:00:08,390 --> 00:00:05,839
not only because the vehicle itself is

3
00:00:09,830 --> 00:00:08,400
an engineering marvel but also mainly

4
00:00:12,070 --> 00:00:09,840
because of the many people have

5
00:00:14,709 --> 00:00:12,080
committed so much care and dedication to

6
00:00:19,429 --> 00:00:14,719
it the shuttle program truly was a

7
00:00:24,310 --> 00:00:22,150
at least 30 of the 50 states contributed

8
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:24,320
to the building of the orbiters

9
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:26,160
during the operational years suppliers

10
00:00:30,310 --> 00:00:28,800
across 42 states had some hand in

11
00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:30,320
providing parts or laboratories a part

12
00:00:36,790 --> 00:00:35,270
over the years we have made shuttle

13
00:00:38,549 --> 00:00:36,800
launches look easy to the point where

14
00:00:40,389 --> 00:00:38,559
they became a normal part of the fabric

15
00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:40,399
of the life of the united states noted

16
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:42,480
but expected at regular intervals but we

17
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:43,520
in the space industry know that

18
00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:45,120
launching people into space is anything

19
00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:50,150
to launch people into space requires the

20
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:52,480
utmost attention to detail strict

21
00:00:57,029 --> 00:00:54,320
adherence to procedures and constant

22
00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:57,039
vigilance basically ten thousand people

23
00:01:05,590 --> 00:00:58,640
have to do everything right all of the

24
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:07,510
your incredible professionalism and

25
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:09,600
passion for space flight have allowed

26
00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:11,040
this program to achieve more than we

27
00:01:16,469 --> 00:01:13,439
could have possibly imagined you truly

28
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:16,479
are the best of the best

29
00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:17,680

33
00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:24,799
as the space shuttle program comes to a

34
00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:27,280
successful end we thank you all from the
