hi

2
00:00:07,909 --> 00:00:05,200
i'm astronaut scott kelly aboard the

3
00:00:09,750 --> 00:00:07,919
international space station

4
00:00:12,390 --> 00:00:09,760
as you know nasa is all about

5
00:00:15,270 --> 00:00:12,400
exploration and discovery

6
00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:15,280
whether it is here on the iss close to

7
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:17,920
earth are now billions of miles away of

8
00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:20,320
pluto and the far edge of the solar

9
00:00:27,429 --> 00:00:24,400
system known as the kuiper belt

10
00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:27,439
until now pluto has remained a mystery

11
00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:30,480
the last unexplored major body in our

12
00:00:35,590 --> 00:00:32,559
solar system

13
00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:35,600
but that's all about to change

14
00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:37,920
the new horizons spacecraft is making

15
00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:41,120
history after a nine-year journey as it

16
00:00:46,869 --> 00:00:44,879
encounters pluto and its system of moons

17
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:46,879
i'm excited to see the first close-up

18
00:00:52,709 --> 00:00:49,840
images of this dwarf planet and to see

19
00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:52,719
nasa complete the initial reconnaissance

20
00:00:56,630 --> 00:00:54,879
of the distant reaches of our solar

21
00:00:58,709 --> 00:00:56,640
system

22
00:01:01,750 --> 00:00:58,719
so from the international space station

23
00:01:04,469 --> 00:01:01,760
i'm sending my heartfelt best wishes

24
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:04,479
and congratulations to the new horizons

25
00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:05,760
team

26
00:01:09,670 --> 00:01:08,159
just like me all of us at nasa can
