mission calls for four names

30
00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:54,060
it's difficult to pick just four from a

31
00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:55,680
group that by its very definition

32
00:04:01,550 --> 00:03:58,319
attracts the best and the brightest that

33
00:04:04,190 --> 00:04:01,560

34
00:04:06,770 --> 00:04:04,200
our entire astronaut core will be the

35
00:04:09,410 --> 00:04:06,780
forerunners as Humanity looks to find

36
00:04:11,809 --> 00:04:09,420
its place Among the Stars

37
00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:11,819
so that while we may be recognizing four

38
00:04:16,670 --> 00:04:14,640
individuals today I want to thank the

39
00:04:19,610 --> 00:04:16,680
entire astronaut Corps for their

40
00:04:21,170 --> 00:04:19,620
dedication and sacrifices we ask them to

41
00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:21,180
strap into our current and future

42
00:04:25,850 --> 00:04:22,560
spacecraft

43
00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:25,860
take those next steps to do the things

44
00:04:30,350 --> 00:04:28,800
that are hard so that others might

45
00:04:36,189 --> 00:04:30,360
follow behind them

46
00:04:43,310 --> 00:04:40,370
some of you might be scanning the

47
00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:43,320
astronaut faces trying to see who is

48
00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,800
missing and still hitting backstage

49
00:04:51,530 --> 00:04:48,479
well know this

50
00:04:54,540 --> 00:04:51,540
your Artemis tune crew members are

51
00:05:04,689 --> 00:04:54,550
already here in the room with you

52
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:04,699

53
00:05:20,270 --> 00:05:17,810
so happy about that

54
00:05:23,330 --> 00:05:20,280
with Artemis one we set out to prove

55
00:05:25,310 --> 00:05:23,340
that the hardware was ready that SLS was

56
00:05:28,550 --> 00:05:25,320
prepared to launch our astronauts

57
00:05:31,370 --> 00:05:28,560
Skyward then Orion was equipped to carry

58
00:05:34,730 --> 00:05:31,380
them to the moon and back safely again

59
00:05:36,890 --> 00:05:34,740
Artemis 1 was a resounding success and

60
00:05:39,290 --> 00:05:36,900
Artemis II will leverage that by putting

61
00:05:41,990 --> 00:05:39,300
humans in the loop executing operations

62
00:05:48,890 --> 00:05:42,000
in the critical path leading to new

63
00:05:48,900 --> 00:06:20,320

challenge with the confidence that the

68
00:07:03,469 --> 00:07:02,460
people working beside us are up to the

69
00:07:06,529 --> 00:07:03,479
task

it's a mission that is significant in

255
00:18:02,090 --> 00:17:59,220
many ways

256
00:18:05,090 --> 00:18:02,100
it's a demonstration of our ability to

257
00:18:08,150 --> 00:18:05,100

and it's a message to the world

262
00:18:22,130 --> 00:18:19,919
we choose to go back to the Moon

263
00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:22,140
and then on to Mars

264
00:18:28,549 --> 00:18:25,380
and we're going to do it together

265
00:18:31,430 --> 00:18:28,559
because in the 21st century NASA

266
00:18:34,430 --> 00:18:31,440
explores the cosmos with the

267
00:18:37,850 --> 00:18:34,440

272
00:18:51,890 --> 00:18:45,480
why

273
00:18:56,150 --> 00:18:51,900

00:18:59,570 --> 00:18:56,160
explorers as Frontiers people

275
00:19:01,010 --> 00:18:59,580

the moon to the Forefront of culture and

280
00:19:18,470 --> 00:19:15,260
consciousness

00:19:21,110 --> 00:19:18,480
galvanized historic effort that we are

00:19:28,370 --> 00:19:24,539
the Moon is a symbol

284
00:19:30,890 --> 00:19:28,380
of our can-do spirit

285
00:19:31,970 --> 00:19:30,900
and over the course of the Artemis

286
00:19:34,909 --> 00:19:31,980
missions

290
00:19:43,610 --> 00:19:40,919
surface

291
00:19:46,909 --> 00:19:43,620
it's been more than a half century since

292
00:19:50,870 --> 00:19:46,919
astronauts turned into the Moon

293
00:19:53,570 --> 00:19:50,880
well folks that's about to change

294
00:19:55,490 --> 00:19:53,580
the mission to the moon will launch four

295
00:19:59,450 --> 00:19:55,500
pioneers

296
00:20:03,230 --> 00:19:59,460
but it will carry more than astronauts

297
00:20:06,049 --> 00:20:03,240
Artemis too will carry the hopes of

298
00:20:08,690 --> 00:20:06,059
millions of people around the world it

299
00:20:11,510 --> 00:20:08,700
will carry the aspirations of the NASA

300
00:20:12,470 --> 00:20:11,520
family who glance up at the Moon every

301
00:20:16,310 --> 00:20:12,480
night

302
00:20:19,250 --> 00:20:16,320
knowing their efforts

303
00:20:23,450 --> 00:20:19,260
will return us to

304
00:20:26,270 --> 00:20:23,460
it will carry the dreams of students who

305
00:20:28,130 --> 00:20:26,280
burn the Midnight Oil in libraries and

306
00:20:31,789 --> 00:20:28,140

Trailblazer and a role model for every

I know that you are just getting started

392
00:28:23,450 --> 00:28:20,100

393
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:23,460
as the only professional engineer in the

00:28:30,769 --> 00:28:25,450
crew

395

[Applause]

396
00:28:34,070 --> 00:28:32,760
I know who Mission Control could be

397
00:28:37,669 --> 00:28:34,080
calling on when it's time to fix

398
00:28:41,269 --> 00:28:37,679
something on board so we appreciate you

399
00:28:44,070 --> 00:28:42,960

[Applause]

402
00:28:53,930 --> 00:28:51,179
you want it to be a hundred different

403
00:28:56,210 --> 00:28:53,940
things when you grew up but I can say

404
00:28:58,970 --> 00:28:56,220
I'm truly thankful you ended up as a

405
00:29:02,090 --> 00:28:58,980
Navy pilot and an astronaut

406
00:29:04,490 --> 00:29:02,100
like so many seeing other astronauts

407
00:29:06,950 --> 00:29:04,500
take flight landed the seed

408
00:29:09,169 --> 00:29:06,960
and when you heard Pam Elroy speak in a

409
00:29:12,830 --> 00:29:09,179
test pilot conference that was the

410
00:29:15,169 --> 00:29:12,840
moment you decided to apply so Pam thank

411
00:29:16,130 --> 00:29:15,179
you for inspiring others

412
00:29:19,090 --> 00:29:16,140
foreign

413
00:29:22,269 --> 00:29:19,100
[Applause]

414
00:29:25,130 --> 00:29:22,279
[Music]

415
00:29:28,070 --> 00:29:25,140
in your family to graduate from college

416
00:29:30,169 --> 00:29:28,080
and you always talk about how much of

417
00:29:32,570 --> 00:29:30,179
the love and support of those around you

418
00:29:35,389 --> 00:29:32,580
made your dreams possible

419
00:29:37,909 --> 00:29:35,399
I can honestly say I've never met anyone

420
00:29:41,090 --> 00:29:37,919
as determined as you are to spread that

421
00:29:44,510 --> 00:29:41,100
same love and support until everyone who

422
00:29:47,450 --> 00:29:44,520
passes into your orbit is better for it

423
00:29:49,010 --> 00:29:47,460
he overcame every obstacle that came

424
00:29:51,230 --> 00:29:49,020
your way

425
00:29:53,750 --> 00:29:51,240
every obstacle and then you dedicated

426
00:29:56,510 --> 00:29:53,760
your life to crushing those obstacles so

427
00:29:58,820 --> 00:29:56,520
that future Generations can dream in a

428
00:30:08,330 --> 00:29:58,830
space unbounded so thanks Victor

429
00:30:14,210 --> 00:30:11,389
and finally read

430
00:30:16,430 --> 00:30:14,220
and explore from the beginning

431
00:30:18,950 --> 00:30:16,440
The Forest of your youth might be

432
00:30:23,330 --> 00:30:18,960
smaller than the frontier that you're

433
00:30:26,029 --> 00:30:23,340
heading for now but this was always you

434
00:30:28,549 --> 00:30:26,039
it's what you were meant to be

435
00:30:31,610 --> 00:30:28,559
you said for a time he wanted to be a

436
00:30:35,389 --> 00:30:31,620
train engineer but I don't think trades

437
00:30:38,630 --> 00:30:35,399
go wide as fast as you need them to so

438
00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:38,640
I wish the Reed of your youth the ones

439
00:30:43,010 --> 00:30:40,320
that you know that you're dealing with

440
00:30:44,930 --> 00:30:43,020
bullies dealing with the uncertainties

441
00:30:47,930 --> 00:30:44,940
of growing up

442
00:30:50,330 --> 00:30:47,940
could meet you now meet the Reed who

443
00:30:53,149 --> 00:30:50,340
took his first jet for a spend and knew

444
00:30:55,789 --> 00:30:53,159
he was meant to soar across the skies

445
00:30:58,970 --> 00:30:55,799
the Reed who found the home and family

446
00:31:01,789 --> 00:30:58,980
in the Navy and here at NASA

447
00:31:05,149 --> 00:31:01,799
the region let our astronauts into a new

448
00:31:07,250 --> 00:31:05,159
era of space exploration and the Reed

449
00:31:10,060 --> 00:31:07,260
who will lead Artemis II from the earth

450
00:31:21,070 --> 00:31:10,070
to the moon and safely back home again

451
00:31:26,149 --> 00:31:23,029

sweating with all of us but this is a

558
00:37:02,810 --> 00:37:00,660
big day we have a lot to celebrate and

559
00:37:04,490 --> 00:37:02,820
it's so much more than the four names

560
00:37:06,410 --> 00:37:04,500
that have been announced

561
00:37:07,670 --> 00:37:06,420
we need to celebrate this moment in

562
00:37:09,650 --> 00:37:07,680
human history

563
00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:09,660
because Artemis 2 is more than a mission

564
00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:12,240
to the Moon in math it's more than a

565
00:37:16,790 --> 00:37:14,460
mission that has to happen before we

566
00:37:19,550 --> 00:37:16,800
send people to the surface of the Moon

567
00:37:28,329 --> 00:37:19,560
it is the next step on the journey that

568
00:37:33,109 --> 00:37:31,190
This Crew will never forget that

569
00:37:35,630 --> 00:37:33,119
we have a lot of work to do before we

570
00:37:37,310 --> 00:37:35,640
get there and we understand that and

571
00:37:39,650 --> 00:37:37,320
when talking about that work you you may

572
00:37:41,870 --> 00:37:39,660
often hear people say Cuban space flight

573
00:37:43,849 --> 00:37:41,880
is a marathon not a Sprint

574
00:37:46,670 --> 00:37:43,859
but we have watched the people that work

575
00:37:49,310 --> 00:37:46,680
so hard to make our mission possible and

576
00:37:52,670 --> 00:37:49,320
I can tell you it is a series of Sprints

577
00:37:54,530 --> 00:37:52,680
that's called a relay race human space

578
00:37:56,750 --> 00:37:54,540
fight is like a relay race and that

579
00:37:59,390 --> 00:37:56,760
baton has been passed generation to

580
00:38:00,290 --> 00:37:59,400
generation and from True member to crew

581
00:38:03,410 --> 00:38:00,300

crew and then and now the Artemis

586
00:38:15,589 --> 00:38:12,900
missions

587
00:38:16,970 --> 00:38:15,599
and we understand our role in that and

588
00:38:19,910 --> 00:38:16,980
when we have the privilege of having

589
00:38:23,329 --> 00:38:19,920
that baton we're going to do our best to

590
00:38:25,310 --> 00:38:23,339
run a good race to make you proud

591
00:38:28,970 --> 00:38:25,320
I pray that God will bless this Mission

592
00:38:31,430 --> 00:38:28,980
but I also pray that we can continue to

593
00:38:34,310 --> 00:38:31,440
serve as a source of inspiration for

594
00:38:35,390 --> 00:38:34,320
cooperation and peace not just between

595
00:38:37,910 --> 00:38:35,400
nations

596
00:38:40,980 --> 00:38:37,920
but in our own Nation thank you and God

597
00:38:40,990 --> 00:38:54,109
[Applause]

598
00:38:58,550 --> 00:38:57,050
thanks Victor awesome words what I uh

599
00:39:00,829 --> 00:38:58,560
what I wanted to highlight for all of

600
00:39:02,569 --> 00:39:00,839
you today is uh well you know big

601
00:39:05,030 --> 00:39:02,579
picture when I step back there are two

602
00:39:09,230 --> 00:39:05,040
reasons why a Canadian is going to the

603
00:39:16,370 --> 00:39:13,670
uh the first one is American leadership

604
00:39:17,990 --> 00:39:16,380
it is not lost on any of us that the

605
00:39:19,430 --> 00:39:18,000
United States could choose to go back to

606
00:39:22,730 --> 00:39:19,440
the Moon by themselves

607
00:39:25,670 --> 00:39:22,740
but America has made a very deliberate

608
00:39:29,089 --> 00:39:25,680
Choice over decades to curate a global

609
00:39:30,290 --> 00:39:29,099
team and that in my definition is true

610
00:39:34,010 --> 00:39:30,300
leadership

611
00:39:36,829 --> 00:39:34,020
at body an entity that seeks out others

612
00:39:39,589 --> 00:39:36,839
who can contribute right allows them to

613
00:39:42,410 --> 00:39:39,599
rise up lifts them up to make their

614
00:39:44,210 --> 00:39:42,420
contributions to bring their genius that

615
00:39:46,609 --> 00:39:44,220
is American leadership and as a Canadian

616
00:39:49,609 --> 00:39:46,619
I am very proud to reflect that back to

617
00:39:52,130 --> 00:39:49,619
you and I am grateful all Canada is all

618
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:52,140
of Canada is grateful for that Global

619
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:54,490
mindset and that leadership so thank you

620
00:40:03,650 --> 00:39:57,810
[Applause]

621
00:40:07,069 --> 00:40:03,660
[Music]

622
00:40:09,530 --> 00:40:07,079
the second reason is Canada's can-do

623
00:40:12,340 --> 00:40:09,540
attitude

624
00:40:15,410 --> 00:40:12,350
[Applause]

625
00:40:18,410 --> 00:40:15,420
[Music]

626
00:40:21,589 --> 00:40:18,420
for decades now literally thousands upon

627
00:40:24,589 --> 00:40:21,599
thousands of Canadians have risen to

628
00:40:26,089 --> 00:40:24,599
that challenge to bring real value to

629
00:40:27,890 --> 00:40:26,099
the international partnership with

630
00:40:29,270 --> 00:40:27,900
respect to space exploration to bring

631
00:40:32,750 --> 00:40:29,280
real solutions

632
00:40:35,750 --> 00:40:32,760
our scientists our Engineers Acadian

633
00:40:38,030 --> 00:40:35,760
space agency Acadian Armed Forces across

634
00:40:40,550 --> 00:40:38,040
government all of our leadership

635
00:40:42,829 --> 00:40:40,560
working together under a vision to take

636
00:40:44,750 --> 00:40:42,839
step by step and all of those have added

637
00:40:46,370 --> 00:40:44,760
up to this moment where a Canadian is

638
00:40:49,020 --> 00:40:46,380
going to the Moon with our International

639
00:40:57,170 --> 00:40:49,030
partnership and it is glorious

640
00:41:02,870 --> 00:41:00,170
so at the end of it all I am left in awe

641
00:41:04,970 --> 00:41:02,880
of be reminded what strong leadership

642
00:41:07,250 --> 00:41:04,980
setting big goals with a passion to

643
00:41:09,230 --> 00:41:07,260
collaborate and a can-do attitude can

644
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:09,240
achieve and we are going to the Moon

645
00:41:16,170 --> 00:41:21,650
[Music]

646
00:41:28,730 --> 00:41:24,410

leadership

651
00:41:38,930 --> 00:41:36,900
my fellow astronauts know that one of

652
00:41:41,810 --> 00:41:38,940
the questions we get all the time is are

653
00:41:44,210 --> 00:41:41,820
you excited and I can tell you

654
00:41:46,690 --> 00:41:44,220
when I think about this Mission that's a

655
00:41:51,290 --> 00:41:46,700
relay race with International Partners

656
00:41:53,690 --> 00:41:51,300
it's also so awesome in and of itself

657
00:41:55,550 --> 00:41:53,700
we are going to launch from Kennedy

658
00:41:58,370 --> 00:41:55,560
Space Center through the work of the

659
00:42:00,770 --> 00:41:58,380
exploration ground systems team

660
00:42:01,690 --> 00:42:00,780
we're going to hear the words go for

661
00:42:04,550 --> 00:42:01,700
launch

662
00:42:06,770 --> 00:42:04,560
on top of the most powerful rocket

663
00:42:09,230 --> 00:42:06,780
NASA's ever made the space launch system

664
00:42:12,170 --> 00:42:09,240
and we're going to ride that rocket for

665
00:42:14,329 --> 00:42:12,180
eight minutes into Earth orbit we're not

666
00:42:17,210 --> 00:42:14,339
going to go to the moon right away we're

667
00:42:19,730 --> 00:42:17,220
going to stay in an amazing High orbit

668
00:42:21,890 --> 00:42:19,740
reaching a peak of tens of thousands of

669
00:42:24,410 --> 00:42:21,900
miles while we test out all the systems

670
00:42:27,290 --> 00:42:24,420
on Orion and even see how it Maneuvers

671
00:42:39,890 --> 00:42:27,300
in space and then if everything looks

672
00:42:44,450 --> 00:42:42,470
it will be a four day Journey going a

673
00:42:46,609 --> 00:42:44,460
quarter of a million miles

674
00:42:48,890 --> 00:42:46,619
continuing to test out every bit of

675
00:42:51,349 --> 00:42:48,900
Orion going around The Far Side of the

676
00:42:54,170 --> 00:42:51,359
Moon heading home

677
00:42:55,790 --> 00:42:54,180
