1
00:00:18,550 --> 00:00:16,390
we've come to this program with

2
00:00:20,070 --> 00:00:18,560
different backgrounds and different

3
00:00:22,470 --> 00:00:20,080
experiences

4
00:00:24,870 --> 00:00:22,480
we have a chance to build upon a new

5
00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:24,880
launch capability for america

6
00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:26,720
we're part of a partnership and part of

7
00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:28,320
the partnership is to have different

8
00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:30,080
abilities and so the united states

9
00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:32,320
having access is extremely important to

10
00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:33,600
the effort

11
00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:35,280
one of the things that really gave us

12
00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:37,360
the opportunity to to be ready for this

13
00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:39,120
is all those systems on the space

14
00:00:42,229 --> 00:00:40,719
station are on the space shuttle that we

15
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:42,239
had to learn in order to be prepared for

16
00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:44,160
a space flight so it really has set us

17
00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:46,320
up for a mindset of learning new things

18
00:00:59,910 --> 00:00:57,350
we have a huge team here at nasa as well

19
00:01:01,670 --> 00:00:59,920
as the great teams at spacex and boeing

20
00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:01,680
that we'll work with to try to make this

21
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:04,559
vehicle as safe as possible

22
00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:06,000
building that partnership that

23
00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:08,000
relationship where we are

24
00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:09,520
shoulder to shoulder with these

25
00:01:12,469 --> 00:01:11,280
companies as they build this vehicle is

26
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:12,479
really going to be how we're

27
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:14,320
instrumental in making sure the vehicles

28
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:15,680
are ready for the first flights when the

29
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:17,600
time comes

30
00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:19,200

31
00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:21,840
participate with this new group and to

32
00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:23,680
work with the team to get us onto this

33
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:26,640
next era in space flight

34
00:01:31,590 --> 00:01:29,040
i remember when i launched from kennedy

35
00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:31,600
the first time on a us space shuttle and

36
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:33,680
it was pretty amazing so i can only

37
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:35,520
imagine what it's going to be like after

38
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:38,400
this long period of time to get back on

39
00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:40,400
a spacecraft at kennedy

40
00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:42,640
and have all family and friends and

41
00:01:45,670 --> 00:01:44,320
