1 00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:14,929 Hey I'm Ray Zibilich chief welder engineer of the Orion Space Program. 2 00:00:14,929 --> 00:00:21,020 Here at Michoud in New Orleans. Behind me is the first Exploration Mission-1 hardware to be 3 00:00:21,020 --> 00:00:22,590 welded this weekend 4 00:00:22,590 --> 00:00:30,140 Pretty exciting moment. We've built three prior vehicles - GTA - consisting of 33 welds 5 00:00:30,140 --> 00:00:36,420 we've evolved the first flight test which was nineteen welds. Exploration Mission-1 6 00:00:36,420 --> 00:00:42,010 will have seven. So the evolution brought the number welds down through incredible 7 00:00:42,010 --> 00:00:46,380 design - a lot of work, a lot of people, a lot of good things 8 00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:50,840 A typical day at the office for me is here on the floor
