00:00:06,740 --> 00:00:04,430
here at NASA we strive every day to

2
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:06,750
reach new heights and explore the

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:09,120
unknown so that what we do and learn

4
00:00:13,370 --> 00:00:11,250
will benefit all of humankind

5
00:00:15,530 --> 00:00:13,380
that's why when we were challenged to

6
00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:15,540
build an international scientific

7
00:00:20,689 --> 00:00:18,720
research laboratory in space we set out

8
00:00:28,410 --> 00:00:20,699
to engineer the most advanced spacecraft

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:30,630
the International Space Station is an

10
00:00:36,090 --> 00:00:33,250
engineering marvel thousands of people

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:36,100
from 15 different nations designed built

12
00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:37,930
and tested the hardware and software

13
00:00:41,940 --> 00:00:40,150
over the span of a decade with the

14
00:00:43,770 --> 00:00:41,950
completed pieces being connected for the

15
00:00:45,690 --> 00:00:43,780
very first time in space the

16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:45,700
collaboration and precision this took is

17
00:00:50,430 --> 00:00:49,090
absolutely incredible the scale of the

18
00:00:52,830 --> 00:00:50,440
space station is something that has

19
00:00:54,510 --> 00:00:52,840
never been seen before the finished

20
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:54,520
product weighs nearly 1 million pounds

21
00:00:58,950 --> 00:00:56,530
is about the size of a football field

22
00:01:01,170 --> 00:00:58,960
and comfortably houses six people in

23
00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:01,180
low-earth orbit 250 miles above the

24
00:01:06,510 --> 00:01:04,150
Earth's surface the ISS is the only lab

25
00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:06,520
on or Octus planet that has been host to

26
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:07,830
so many different types of research

27
00:01:13,230 --> 00:01:10,570
turbine experiments in biology earth

29
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:15,270
research and even educational outreach

30
00:01:20,969 --> 00:01:18,130
the ISS is truly a unique place in space

31
00:01:22,380 --> 00:01:20,979
in every sense of the phrase the

32
00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:22,390
research already conducted on the space

33
00:01:25,530 --> 00:01:23,860
station we have discovered new and

34
00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:25,540
remarkable methods of doing things here

35
00:01:29,999 --> 00:01:27,430
on earth NASA and its international

36
00:01:32,190 --> 00:01:30,009
partners have detected smaller and

37
00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:32,200
lighter ultrasounds that travel faster

38
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:33,360
than ever before

39
00:01:37,770 --> 00:01:35,650
introduced never before seen approaches

40
00:01:38,820 --> 00:01:37,780
to ending muscular dystrophy by

41
00:01:41,430 --> 00:01:38,830
achieving the highest quality

42
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:41,440
crystalline structures in history made

43
00:01:45,390 --> 00:01:43,450
breakthroughs in vaccine development for

44
00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:45,400
Salmonella and the list goes on and on

45
00:01:50,980 --> 00:01:47,680
and with another 10 years of operation
