1
00:00:07,430 --> 00:00:03,110
home

2
00:00:08,870 --> 00:00:07,440
but there have been times in my life

3
00:00:11,990 --> 00:00:08,880
where i was called away from my family

4
00:00:13,830 --> 00:00:12,000
for extended periods of time

5
00:00:15,110 --> 00:00:13,840
while i was serving in the marine corps

6
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:15,120
it was hard to be away from my loved

7
00:00:19,429 --> 00:00:17,440
ones but thankfully i had my squadron

8
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:19,439
family but other places where we were

9
00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:20,560
stationed around the globe became a

10
00:00:24,310 --> 00:00:22,560
temporary home

11
00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:24,320
then in 2009 i launched the

12
00:00:28,230 --> 00:00:26,320
international space station traveling

13
00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:28,240
even farther away from my family

14
00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:30,960
conducting science 250 miles above the

15
00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:31,840
earth

16
00:00:35,990 --> 00:00:33,440
the space station was an orbiting home

17
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:36,000
for my crewmates and myself

18
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:38,000
talk about a room with a breathtaking

19
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:42,470
with artemis nasa will send the first

20
00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:44,320
woman and the first person of color to

21
00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:45,840
the moon

22
00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:47,920
we are going there for the benefit of

23
00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:50,079
all here

24
00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:51,360
we'll need a place to orbit around the

25
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:54,000
moon where we can live and work a place

26
00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:55,520
to get ready for our learned surface

27
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:56,800
expeditions

28
00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:58,800
and a place to return to when our work

29
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:00,960
on the lunar surface is complete

30
00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:04,000
we need a lunar home away from home

31
00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:07,040
this will be the gateway

32
00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:08,640
starting with the power and habitation

33
00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:11,280
modules the gateway will be the first

34
00:01:14,950 --> 00:01:13,439
long-term outpost in lunar orbit humans

35
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:14,960
have ever had

36
00:01:18,469 --> 00:01:16,720
prime for new discoveries this orbiting

37
00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:18,479
laboratory will provide us with a unique

38
00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:20,080
view of our solar system

39
00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:21,600
and it's already becoming a beacon for

40
00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:23,040
the future of international and

41
00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:26,479
commercial cooperation in space with

42
00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:28,400
increasing capability and longer

43
00:01:32,789 --> 00:01:30,640
missions over time the gateway will be a

44
00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:32,799
powerhouse of technology and science

45
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:34,560
paving the way for future human missions

46
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:36,640
to mars

47
00:01:40,069 --> 00:01:38,159
design and fabrication of gateway

48
00:01:41,590 --> 00:01:40,079
elements by nasa and our international

49
00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:41,600
partners is well underway around the

50
00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:44,320
world right now

51
00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:46,720
wherever you are on planet earth

52
00:01:50,469 --> 00:01:48,880
today you are part of the artemis

53
00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:50,479
generation

54
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:52,880
i'm nasa astronaut randy bresnik i

55
00:01:57,429 --> 00:01:55,040
