very exciting

19
00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:49,120

20
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:50,719
difficult

21
00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:53,760
and also that it meant something i don't

22
00:00:58,310 --> 00:00:55,280
know it meant something bigger than

23
00:00:59,670 --> 00:00:58,320
myself it was part of a national focus

24
00:01:01,550 --> 00:00:59,680
and i said well that would be great to

25
00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:01,560
be a part of something like that

26
00:01:10,870 --> 00:01:09,990

50
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:07,680
you know we i believe that the

51
00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:10,640
that our destiny is as a species is not

52
00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:13,040
limited to earth that we will go out

53
00:02:17,090 --> 00:02:14,959
into the solar system and so to me this

54
00:02:23,070 --> 00:02:17,100
is the beginning of that destiny
