00:00:01,976 --> 00:00:04,226
Hello Smokey Bear
and Happy Birthday!

2
00:00:04,606 --> 00:00:08,036
I'm Joe Acaba, Expedition
32 Flight Engineer,

3
00:00:08,036 --> 00:00:09,596
on the International
Space Station.

4
00:00:10,176 --> 00:00:13,196
It is your 68th birthday and
what a journey it has been.

5
00:00:13,726 --> 00:00:17,866
Since 1944 you have supported
the education of generations

6
00:00:17,866 --> 00:00:21,406
of Americans about the critical
role in wildfire prevention

7
00:00:21,736 --> 00:00:24,716
through your message, "Only
You Can Prevent Wildfires."

8
00:00:25,336 --> 00:00:27,146
I understand there
will be many ways

9
00:00:27,146 --> 00:00:30,136
in which you will celebrate your
birthday this year outreaching

10
00:00:30,136 --> 00:00:32,166
to communities across
United States.

11
00:00:32,936 --> 00:00:35,756
We have been working on
the ISS to position you

12
00:00:35,896 --> 00:00:38,786
and your support network
by taking imagery of fires

13
00:00:38,786 --> 00:00:41,016
from space and studying
the behavior

14
00:00:41,016 --> 00:00:42,646
of fire in microgravity.

15
00:00:43,226 --> 00:00:46,916
It is exciting news that
NASA Johnson Space Center has

16
00:00:46,916 --> 00:00:50,206
extended a special invitation
for you to visit the center

17
00:00:50,206 --> 00:00:53,616
on your birthday to learn
more about human spaceflight

18
00:00:53,956 --> 00:00:57,296
and the work being done
on the ISS to enable us

19
00:00:57,346 --> 00:01:00,396
to explore the universe, as
well as gaining knowledge

20
00:01:00,736 --> 00:01:02,086
for the benefit of all people

21
00:01:02,476 --> 00:01:03,976
and the protection
of life on earth.

22
00:01:04,476 --> 00:01:05,806
So please enjoy your day.

23
00:01:06,926 --> 00:01:09,026
NASA looks forward to
sharing your message

24
00:01:09,026 --> 00:01:11,566
about being responsible
when using fire

25
00:01:11,806 --> 00:01:14,116
and to prevent human-caused
wildfires.

26
00:01:14,666 --> 00:01:17,606
As the talisman of our Soyuz
flight you have been a critical

27
00:01:17,606 --> 00:01:21,926
member of our team from blastoff
on May 15 in Kazakhstan to now.

28
00:01:22,766 --> 00:01:25,586
Through our partnership together
I'm pleased to be a part

29
00:01:25,746 --> 00:01:27,646
of raising awareness
for people everywhere

30
00:01:27,896 --> 00:01:29,336
about wildfire prevention.

31
00:01:29,956 --> 00:01:33,076
And I would like to take
this opportunity to recognize

32
00:01:33,076 --> 00:01:36,466
that you are managed by the U.S.
Forest Service in cooperation

33
00:01:36,466 --> 00:01:39,016
with the National
Association of State Foresters

34
00:01:39,386 --> 00:01:41,966
and the Ad Council,
an organization

35
00:01:41,966 --> 00:01:45,226
that improves change
and improves lives.

36
00:01:45,826 --> 00:01:48,526
Thank you for all you do
and again Happy Birthday.
