00:00:01,300 --> 00:00:13,600
Hello, my name is Victor Glover, one of the
new NASA astronauts, and we are here onsite

2
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,760
in Yuma for the Orion parachute test.

3
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,670
You see behind me the parachute test vehicle
which looks a little bit like Orion but it's

4
00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:21,169
not actually Orion.

5
00:00:21,169 --> 00:00:25,480
It's a test vehicle that is designed to get
the parachutes to the test point so we have

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,470
great weather today, we had a great test,
and the parachutes performed what looked to

7
00:00:29,470 --> 00:00:31,599
me like they were flawless.

8
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:34,820
And they're so important, so critical, in
getting us back here safely.

9
00:00:34,820 --> 00:00:38,210
Because there are four lives in there that
are hanging on by a thread, or hanging by

10
00:00:38,210 --> 00:00:42,260
240 threads actually, that can hold 1500 pounds
a piece.
