1
00:00:10,950 --> 00:00:14,190
NASA set out on a new course to space in 2010

2
00:00:14,190 --> 00:00:18,170
to establish a space transportation system using America's

3
00:00:18,170 --> 00:00:22,510
aerospace industrial expertise combined with NASA's extensive

4
00:00:22,510 --> 00:00:26,269
spaceflight flight history.

5
00:00:26,269 --> 00:00:29,269
The goal: Develop a new American spacecraft

6
00:00:29,269 --> 00:00:33,701
capable of safely and reliably sending NASA astronauts and others

7
00:00:33,710 --> 00:00:39,460
into low-Earth orbit in a cost-effective manner

8
00:00:39,460 --> 00:00:42,710
This one-of-a-kind effort by NASA's Commercial Crew Program

9
00:00:42,710 --> 00:00:46,600
will produce an American space transportation system at a fraction of

10
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,420
the cost of previous spacecraft

11
00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:55,420
and with a greater reliability and safety factor than ever seen before.

12
00:01:04,199 --> 00:01:07,770
After four years of intense efforts by NASA and its partners,

13
00:01:07,770 --> 00:01:11,170
the agency is on the verge of taking the final steps
