uh we're gonna go and open with some

27
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:42,560
opening remarks and kind of some

28
00:16:46,389 --> 00:16:43,680
questions for you all

29
00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:46,399
uh nasa administrator mr jim bridenstine

30
00:16:50,069 --> 00:16:47,600
thanks for being here

31
00:16:51,430 --> 00:16:50,079
curious to hear from you on the level of

32
00:16:54,310 --> 00:16:51,440
human exploration

33
00:16:55,910 --> 00:16:54,320
what is the nasa's crew one mission

34
00:16:57,990 --> 00:16:55,920
about and what does it mean for us

35
00:16:59,670 --> 00:16:58,000
so for there's a lot of things that it

36
00:17:00,870 --> 00:16:59,680
means when we think about the fact that

37
00:17:02,870 --> 00:17:00,880
we are

38
00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:02,880
through the test and development phase

39
00:17:06,069 --> 00:17:04,400
of the crew dragon

40
00:17:08,630 --> 00:17:06,079
and now we're into an operational phase

41
00:17:10,549 --> 00:17:08,640
i want to be clear every single flight

42
00:17:12,549 --> 00:17:10,559
when you go to space every single flight

43
00:17:14,710 --> 00:17:12,559
has to be dealt with very seriously

44
00:17:16,309 --> 00:17:14,720
we pay attention to detail on all of

45
00:17:16,949 --> 00:17:16,319
them and we learn from every single one

46
00:17:18,870 --> 00:17:16,959
of them

47
00:17:20,549 --> 00:17:18,880
but it is a big transition because now

48
00:17:21,590 --> 00:17:20,559
we're going with a crew of four

49
00:17:22,949 --> 00:17:21,600
astronauts

50
00:17:24,549 --> 00:17:22,959
which means we're going to be able to

51
00:17:26,390 --> 00:17:24,559
take more people to the international

52
00:17:28,150 --> 00:17:26,400
space station to do more work

53
00:17:29,909 --> 00:17:28,160
and of course the value there is the

54
00:17:31,029 --> 00:17:29,919
microgravity of space and this

55
00:17:33,029 --> 00:17:31,039
laboratory

56
00:17:34,230 --> 00:17:33,039
that is there to benefit all of humanity

57
00:17:36,230 --> 00:17:34,240
so we're going to get

58
00:17:37,590 --> 00:17:36,240
so much more science and so much more

59
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:37,600
discovery

60
00:17:42,390 --> 00:17:39,760
and so much more capability to benefit

61
00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:42,400
humanity than we could otherwise get

62
00:17:45,590 --> 00:17:44,000
now that we're taking more crew to the

63
00:17:46,310 --> 00:17:45,600
international space station and when we

64
00:17:48,470 --> 00:17:46,320
take them

65
00:17:50,150 --> 00:17:48,480
they're going to stay longer so that's a

66
00:17:50,950 --> 00:17:50,160
really big deal i would also say the

67
00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:50,960
other big thing

68
00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:55,200
is you know this is the first commercial

69
00:17:59,029 --> 00:17:57,120
contracted launch which means it was

70
00:18:01,190 --> 00:17:59,039
licensed by the faa

71
00:18:03,270 --> 00:18:01,200
which is another big change but very

72
00:18:03,909 --> 00:18:03,280
positive change we're trying to scale up

73
00:18:06,230 --> 00:18:03,919
quickly

74
00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:06,240
nasa wants to be one customer of many

75
00:18:08,870 --> 00:18:07,760
not the owner and operator of the

76
00:18:10,310 --> 00:18:08,880
vehicles

77
00:18:12,070 --> 00:18:10,320
we want to have numerous providers that

78
00:18:13,270 --> 00:18:12,080
can compete on cost and innovation to

79
00:18:15,830 --> 00:18:13,280
bring down cost

80
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:15,840
and increase access to space the other

81
00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:16,960
big thing

82
00:18:20,470 --> 00:18:18,240
is the fact that we're going to have an

83
00:18:23,590 --> 00:18:20,480
international partner on this one

84
00:18:25,510 --> 00:18:23,600
which is fantastic japan has been an

85
00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:25,520
amazing partner for the united states in

86
00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:28,720
space exploration for so many years now

87
00:18:31,990 --> 00:18:30,320
and of course they're not just a partner

88
00:18:33,110 --> 00:18:32,000
in low earth orbit at the international

89
00:18:35,350 --> 00:18:33,120
space station

90
00:18:36,310 --> 00:18:35,360
they they have gone all in committing to

91
00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:36,320
the moon

92
00:18:41,590 --> 00:18:39,760
mars program

93
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:41,600
japan has been an amazing partner for

94
00:18:45,430 --> 00:18:43,760
decades now and it's thrilling to see

95
00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:45,440
that here we are on the first crew

96
00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:46,160
launch

97
00:18:49,430 --> 00:18:47,760
of dragon and they're going to be with

98
00:18:51,990 --> 00:18:49,440
us yeah uh

99
00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:52,000
obviously humanity it seems like this is

100
00:18:54,870 --> 00:18:52,880
such a big deal

101
00:18:55,990 --> 00:18:54,880
but it is one piece of so many pieces

102
00:18:57,350 --> 00:18:56,000
that's right uh so we're

103
00:18:59,190 --> 00:18:57,360
excited for this piece to be moving

104
00:19:00,549 --> 00:18:59,200
forward uh mr

105
00:19:02,230 --> 00:19:00,559
jim morehead who's our deputy

106
00:19:03,270 --> 00:19:02,240
administrator thanks for being here i

107
00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:03,280
wanted to ask you kind of from the

108
00:19:07,029 --> 00:19:04,720
agency perspective

109
00:19:08,150 --> 00:19:07,039
you and mr breinstein get to see kind of

110
00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:08,160
everything we do

111
00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:10,559
like nobody else can and so curious to

112
00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:12,480
hear from you what's the feeling like

113
00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:14,880
for the agency what is this moment like

114
00:19:19,510 --> 00:19:18,000
for us as nasa gosh first i appreciate

115
00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:19,520
the question but we have

116
00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:22,880
just an amazing workforce and you think

117
00:19:26,310 --> 00:19:23,440
about

118
00:19:29,029 --> 00:19:26,320
even during a pandemic at no time have

119
00:19:31,029 --> 00:19:29,039
we ever pushed we've always said

120
00:19:33,270 --> 00:19:31,039
help your health and safety is number

121
00:19:34,070 --> 00:19:33,280
one it's paramount for what we want to

122
00:19:35,990 --> 00:19:34,080
do

123
00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:36,000
and to me that's leadership that's jim's

124
00:19:39,350 --> 00:19:37,120
leadership

125
00:19:40,230 --> 00:19:39,360
and we continue to do that but in the

126
00:19:42,310 --> 00:19:40,240
meantime

127
00:19:43,990 --> 00:19:42,320
as jim's talked about it's low earth

128
00:19:47,190 --> 00:19:44,000
orbit it's

129
00:19:49,510 --> 00:19:47,200
it's but it's also moon it's mars it's

130
00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:49,520
earth sciences it's planetary sciences

131
00:19:53,750 --> 00:19:50,080
it's

132
00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:53,760
come together

133
00:19:59,510 --> 00:19:57,039
but we're really here to help humanity

134
00:20:01,190 --> 00:19:59,520
that's why nasa exists and that's what

135
00:20:03,029 --> 00:20:01,200
we continue to do

136
00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:03,039
and it's just been a great honor to and

137
00:20:06,870 --> 00:20:04,480
it continues to be

138
00:20:08,310 --> 00:20:06,880
to work with these folks because they

139
00:20:10,789 --> 00:20:08,320
are so committed

140
00:20:12,070 --> 00:20:10,799
and it's just a pleasure every day

141
00:20:13,909 --> 00:20:12,080
that's how i'd say it

142
00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:13,919
awesome yeah i mean well said not much

143
00:20:16,870 --> 00:20:15,360
else to say um

144
00:20:18,230 --> 00:20:16,880
and it's exciting too because this is

145
00:20:18,789 --> 00:20:18,240
the first time i think this is the first

146
00:20:20,789 --> 00:20:18,799
time

147
00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:20,799
we will have a long duration crew of

148
00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:21,840
seven uh

149
00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:23,200
even with the shuttle program we never

150
00:20:28,070 --> 00:20:25,440
ran a long duration crew of seven so

151
00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:28,080
the realization of bridging the gap from

152
00:20:31,750 --> 00:20:29,280
the shuttle program

153
00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:31,760
to commercial crew mr cabana you have

154
00:20:35,510 --> 00:20:33,120
been a bridge of leadership

155
00:20:36,710 --> 00:20:35,520
across that span so it's got to feel

156
00:20:38,470 --> 00:20:36,720
good that we're here

157
00:20:40,549 --> 00:20:38,480
first off but curious to kind of get

158
00:20:41,750 --> 00:20:40,559
your take as things just speed up for

159
00:20:44,149 --> 00:20:41,760
the kennedy space center

160
00:20:44,950 --> 00:20:44,159
uh what does that mean for for our

161
00:20:48,149 --> 00:20:44,960
center

162
00:20:49,190 --> 00:20:48,159
but also just our spaceport well first

163
00:20:51,270 --> 00:20:49,200
off josh i mean

164
00:20:52,390 --> 00:20:51,280
it this is an amazing time for america's

165
00:20:54,070 --> 00:20:52,400
space program

166
00:20:56,149 --> 00:20:54,080
when you look at what we have done here

167
00:20:58,070 --> 00:20:56,159
at ksc but it's across the board

168
00:21:00,230 --> 00:20:58,080
our partnership with the faa with the

169
00:21:01,750 --> 00:21:00,240
45th space wing in the air force to

170
00:21:03,990 --> 00:21:01,760
establish the environment that we have

171
00:21:06,789 --> 00:21:04,000
here to enable commercial launches more

172
00:21:09,510 --> 00:21:06,799
efficiently and effectively less costly

173
00:21:11,110 --> 00:21:09,520
it's absolutely awesome and yes it's

174
00:21:12,950 --> 00:21:11,120
going to continue you know the one thing

175
00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:12,960
that's constant in our lives is change

176
00:21:15,590 --> 00:21:13,760
all right

177
00:21:17,270 --> 00:21:15,600
and we are going to continue to change

178
00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:17,280
and evolve but we're going to continue

179
00:21:21,029 --> 00:21:19,200
to change and evolve to even a better

180
00:21:22,230 --> 00:21:21,039
condition as we increase the number of

181
00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:22,240
launches that we have

182
00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:24,960
what jim bradenstein has done his effort

183
00:21:27,510 --> 00:21:26,880
to commercialize low earth orbit

184
00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:27,520
establish

185
00:21:31,190 --> 00:21:28,799
this commercial economy in low earth

186
00:21:32,470 --> 00:21:31,200
orbit to enable nasa to focus on the

187
00:21:34,149 --> 00:21:32,480
hard job of exploring

188
00:21:35,830 --> 00:21:34,159
but we're not going exploring alone

189
00:21:36,310 --> 00:21:35,840
we're taking our commercial partners

190
00:21:38,310 --> 00:21:36,320
with us

191
00:21:39,909 --> 00:21:38,320
as we establish the gateway around the

192
00:21:40,870 --> 00:21:39,919
moon as we get to the lunar surface as

193
00:21:42,549 --> 00:21:40,880
we go on to mars

194
00:21:43,909 --> 00:21:42,559
the the gateway logistics program is

195
00:21:45,270 --> 00:21:43,919
here at the kennedy space center these

196
00:21:48,310 --> 00:21:45,280
are commercial contracts

197
00:21:49,669 --> 00:21:48,320
just as we serve commercially cargo to

198
00:21:51,430 --> 00:21:49,679
the international space station

199
00:21:52,710 --> 00:21:51,440
we're going to do that from ksc with

200
00:21:54,470 --> 00:21:52,720
commercial contracts

201
00:21:56,230 --> 00:21:54,480
to service the gateway to service

202
00:21:57,669 --> 00:21:56,240
operations on the moon and mars

203
00:21:59,750 --> 00:21:57,679
this is not something that we're doing

204
00:22:01,430 --> 00:21:59,760
alone uh you know i always talk

205
00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:01,440
there's only one space above us people

206
00:22:03,909 --> 00:22:02,880
talk about commercial space government

207
00:22:05,909 --> 00:22:03,919
space bologna

208
00:22:07,270 --> 00:22:05,919
new space old space there's one space up

209
00:22:08,870 --> 00:22:07,280
there and we need to be

210
00:22:10,549 --> 00:22:08,880
integrated with our commercial partners

211
00:22:12,070 --> 00:22:10,559
government and commercial integrated

212
00:22:13,270 --> 00:22:12,080
together for all our launches if we're

213
00:22:15,510 --> 00:22:13,280
going to be successful

214
00:22:17,029 --> 00:22:15,520

i want to make sure that you guys know

227
00:22:39,510 --> 00:22:37,120
the crew one mission is launching a

228
00:22:40,710 --> 00:22:39,520
schedule for tomorrow lift off at 7 49

229
00:22:42,950 --> 00:22:40,720
pm eastern time

230
00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:42,960
we have three nasa astronauts and as mr

231
00:22:46,710 --> 00:22:44,000
bridenstine mentioned

232
00:22:48,549 --> 00:22:46,720
an international partner in suicinaguchi

233
00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:48,559
who's flying from jaxa with us

234
00:22:51,830 --> 00:22:50,080
um so a huge accomplishment there the

235
00:22:54,070 --> 00:22:51,840
nasa astronauts mike hopkins

236
00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:54,080
victor glover and shannon walker so

237
00:22:56,789 --> 00:22:55,679
let's jump into questions here mr cabana

238
00:22:58,390 --> 00:22:56,799
we'll come to you first because you have

239
00:23:01,430 --> 00:22:58,400
personal experience with this

240
00:23:01,909 --> 00:23:01,440
uh when the astronauts are in space do

241
00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:01,919
they have an

242
00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:03,760
opportunity to talk to their family and

243
00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:05,760
you would know this because you spent

244
00:23:08,789 --> 00:23:07,360
a number of days in space on four

245
00:23:10,070 --> 00:23:08,799
shuttle missions well it's so much

246
00:23:11,669 --> 00:23:10,080
better now than when i was up there they

247
00:23:13,669 --> 00:23:11,679
had arranged everything special for us

248
00:23:15,029 --> 00:23:13,679
to have a video telecon with our

249
00:23:16,390 --> 00:23:15,039
families and it only happened on the

250
00:23:17,590 --> 00:23:16,400
long duration flights that you got a

251
00:23:19,669 --> 00:23:17,600
video telecon

252
00:23:21,350 --> 00:23:19,679
otherwise it was emailed back and forth

253
00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:21,360
now they've got a voiceover i ip tell

254
00:23:24,149 --> 00:23:22,720
them they can call home anytime they

255
00:23:25,590 --> 00:23:24,159
want and talk to folks i was sitting in

256
00:23:27,029 --> 00:23:25,600
my office one day i got a call from the

257
00:23:28,549 --> 00:23:27,039
international space station it's like

258
00:23:30,549 --> 00:23:28,559
well hey how you doing

259
00:23:31,830 --> 00:23:30,559
you know so now communications today are

260
00:23:33,590 --> 00:23:31,840
so much better and

261
00:23:35,590 --> 00:23:33,600
and that's really important to be able

262
00:23:36,310 --> 00:23:35,600
to stay connected you know with friends

263
00:23:38,310 --> 00:23:36,320
and family

264
00:23:39,830 --> 00:23:38,320
when you are on a six-month mission i

265
00:23:40,630 --> 00:23:39,840
look back to when i was deployed in the

266
00:23:43,990 --> 00:23:40,640
marine corps

267
00:23:46,390 --> 00:23:44,000
overseas you know and we used to call on

268
00:23:47,990 --> 00:23:46,400
you know ham radio calling home you know

269
00:23:51,590 --> 00:23:48,000
i love you honey over

270
00:23:53,350 --> 00:23:51,600
and uh you know today communication

271
00:23:54,710 --> 00:23:53,360
satellites nasa what we have done the

272
00:23:57,750 --> 00:23:54,720
space industry has

273
00:23:59,269 --> 00:23:57,760
changed communications uh for for

274
00:24:00,549 --> 00:23:59,279
everyone connecting us all

275
00:24:03,029 --> 00:24:00,559
and i think it's really great that

276
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:03,039
they're so interconnected awesome good

277
00:24:06,710 --> 00:24:05,520
uh so mr brian coming to you um you were

278
00:24:08,549 --> 00:24:06,720

279
00:24:09,990 --> 00:24:08,559
the announcement of these commercial

280
00:24:11,510 --> 00:24:10,000
crew astronaut crews

281
00:24:13,110 --> 00:24:11,520

selection process and kind of what goes

285
00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:18,159
into that i think we're in the middle of

286
00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:19,760
another round of selection right now

287
00:24:23,190 --> 00:24:21,600
what's that process like yeah so i'll

288
00:24:23,510 --> 00:24:23,200
tell you there are professionals that

are

290
00:24:26,549 --> 00:24:25,200
you know working in the astronaut office

291

but i'll tell you

296
00:24:36,310 --> 00:24:34,720
when you look at the astronaut core you

297
00:24:39,190 --> 00:24:36,320
really can't go wrong there

298
00:24:39,830 --> 00:24:39,200

astronaut office down at the johnson

310
00:25:03,909 --> 00:25:01,279
space center in texas

311
00:25:04,390 --> 00:25:03,919
i also want to say about bob look uh you

312
00:25:06,870 --> 00:25:04,400

of continuous human presence on the

315
00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:10,480
international space station

316
00:25:14,630 --> 00:25:11,760
a lot of people don't know but you know

317
00:25:16,630 --> 00:25:14,640
bob was there when the unity node

318
00:25:17,830 --> 00:25:16,640
was was flown to the internet literally

319
00:25:20,549 --> 00:25:17,840

person

322
00:25:24,149 --> 00:25:23,279
on the unity node uh when it was when it

323
00:25:26,390 --> 00:25:24,159
was assembled

324
00:25:28,230 --> 00:25:26,400
um and here we are and you talk about

325
00:25:28,710 --> 00:25:28,240
the transformation and how we've evolved

326
00:25:31,830 --> 00:25:28,720
in our

327
00:25:34,789 --> 00:25:31,840
the way we do contracting um and and

328
00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:34,799
and what's amazing is uh uh it's still

329
00:25:36,950 --> 00:25:35,120

336
00:25:50,470 --> 00:25:48,799
amazing leader

337
00:25:51,350 --> 00:25:50,480
um and your commitment to this program

338
00:25:53,269 --> 00:25:51,360
throughout the years has been

339
00:25:54,230 --> 00:25:53,279
astonishing oh thanks jim i appreciate

340
00:25:56,230 --> 00:25:54,240
it

341
00:25:57,750 --> 00:25:56,240
uh mr moorhart will come to you next uh

342
00:25:58,789 --> 00:25:57,760
where will you be launched watching

343
00:26:00,390 --> 00:25:58,799
launch from

344
00:26:02,230 --> 00:26:00,400
and what's the one thing you're most

345
00:26:03,269 --> 00:26:02,240
excited about boy

346
00:26:05,590 --> 00:26:03,279
you know i'm going to be watching it

347
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:05,600
with the administrator and uh

348
00:26:10,310 --> 00:26:07,200
we certainly are going to be watching

349
00:26:13,590 --> 00:26:10,320
closely uh you know i'm excited

350
00:26:15,110 --> 00:26:13,600
really because this is when those

351
00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:15,120
astronauts

352
00:26:19,190 --> 00:26:17,919
open that portal at the international

353
00:26:21,350 --> 00:26:19,200
space station

354
00:26:22,789 --> 00:26:21,360
we're going to be increasing the

355
00:26:26,630 --> 00:26:22,799
research we're doing

356
00:26:29,830 --> 00:26:26,640
by 300 percent there is such a demand

357
00:26:31,110 --> 00:26:29,840
for research with microgravity in low

358
00:26:33,750 --> 00:26:31,120
earth orbit

359
00:26:34,310 --> 00:26:33,760
and the hope is ultimately that we'll

360
00:26:37,110 --> 00:26:34,320
have

361
00:26:38,230 --> 00:26:37,120
commercial space stations which is going

362
00:26:41,350 --> 00:26:38,240
to drive the demand

363
00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:41,360
even further this is why we've worked so

364
00:26:45,029 --> 00:26:42,480
hard to have

365
00:26:47,110 --> 00:26:45,039
a commercial crew program we're really

366
00:26:48,710 --> 00:26:47,120
at the beginning we're at the dawn of a

367
00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:48,720
new space age

368
00:26:51,990 --> 00:26:51,120
of really human space flight that's what

369
00:26:55,110 --> 00:26:52,000
we're trying to do

370
00:26:57,269 --> 00:26:55,120
again to help humankind

371
00:26:59,110 --> 00:26:57,279
yeah so it's interesting to hear you say

372
00:27:00,710 --> 00:26:59,120
that as this is a beginning moment

373
00:27:02,310 --> 00:27:00,720
and then to hear comments from mr brian

374
00:27:05,510 --> 00:27:02,320
and mr cabana of

375
00:27:07,350 --> 00:27:05,520
the i hope people can feel

376
00:27:10,070 --> 00:27:07,360
kind of just the excitement of

377
00:27:11,909 --> 00:27:10,080
celebrating what's been done so far

378
00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:11,919
that it's incredible how far we've come

379
00:27:14,549 --> 00:27:13,120
and yet this is still kind of a

380
00:27:15,830 --> 00:27:14,559
beginning moment for us

381
00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:15,840
that there's so much more to go so i

382
00:27:18,710 --> 00:27:17,520
hope people kind of can feel that energy

383
00:27:21,029 --> 00:27:18,720
as we move into

384
00:27:22,470 --> 00:27:21,039
a new era for us um on the note of

385
00:27:23,510 --> 00:27:22,480
research somebody asked the question

386
00:27:25,350 --> 00:27:23,520
online of

387
00:27:27,029 --> 00:27:25,360
do we know what kind of experiments this

388
00:27:28,870 --> 00:27:27,039
crew will actually be conducting

389
00:27:30,070 --> 00:27:28,880
and if we're not sure on the specifics i

390
00:27:30,549 --> 00:27:30,080
know there are some resources out there

391
00:27:34,310 --> 00:27:30,559
for

392
00:27:36,789 --> 00:27:34,320
take that one i

393
00:27:37,430 --> 00:27:36,799
i would refer that one to my space

394
00:27:40,149 --> 00:27:37,440
station

395
00:27:42,070 --> 00:27:40,159
app on my phone perfect and it's got all

396
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:42,080
the science everything that's going on

397
00:27:47,590 --> 00:27:45,440
real time what's being done on iss and

398
00:27:49,990 --> 00:27:47,600
that that's a truthful way to get the

399
00:27:51,590 --> 00:27:50,000
answer rather than me guessing

400
00:27:53,590 --> 00:27:51,600
yeah obviously we know there is research

401
00:27:55,669 --> 00:27:53,600
going up that's not the highlight here

402
00:27:56,789 --> 00:27:55,679
that the people are the people cargo

403
00:27:58,149 --> 00:27:56,799
that's our real highlight here but

404
00:27:58,470 --> 00:27:58,159
certainly really good research going on

405
00:28:00,789 --> 00:27:58,480
and

406
00:28:02,070 --> 00:28:00,799
we have a a slew of nasa apps that are

407
00:28:05,510 --> 00:28:02,080
out there amazing everything

408
00:28:07,430 --> 00:28:05,520
from art to science to earth to

409
00:28:09,510 --> 00:28:07,440
other planets mars you name it and we've

410
00:28:10,870 --> 00:28:09,520
got resources available for it i'll tell

411
00:28:13,909 --> 00:28:10,880
you one experiment

412
00:28:16,789 --> 00:28:13,919
that that really gets me excited um

413
00:28:17,590 --> 00:28:16,799
josh and that is this um they're they're

414
00:28:21,029 --> 00:28:17,600
doing

415
00:28:23,110 --> 00:28:21,039
regenerative medicine

416
00:28:25,190 --> 00:28:23,120
on the international space station so

417
00:28:27,590 --> 00:28:25,200
josh we could take your own skin

418
00:28:28,630 --> 00:28:27,600
cells your own skin cells and use your

419
00:28:31,430 --> 00:28:28,640
own dna

420
00:28:31,909 --> 00:28:31,440
to actually create your own human tissue

421
00:28:34,230 --> 00:28:31,919
um

422
00:28:36,789 --> 00:28:34,240
and use that are you going to clone me

423
00:28:38,230 --> 00:28:36,799
am i getting a clone one day

424
00:28:40,070 --> 00:28:38,240
that might be very dangerous i don't

425
00:28:41,190 --> 00:28:40,080
know about that uh yeah that's not what

426
00:28:43,750 --> 00:28:41,200
we're doing

427
00:28:44,870 --> 00:28:43,760
one josh might be all nasa can handle

428
00:28:45,990 --> 00:28:44,880
but i know a lot of people who would

429
00:28:47,909 --> 00:28:46,000
second that comment

430
00:28:49,990 --> 00:28:47,919
all right but uh i'll tell you yeah and

431
00:28:51,990 --> 00:28:50,000
mr cabana is one of them there we go

432
00:28:53,909 --> 00:28:52,000
but uh but no the the idea though is

433
00:28:56,149 --> 00:28:53,919
that we there's life-saving capabilities

434
00:28:57,909 --> 00:28:56,159
that microgravity can be used for

435
00:28:59,750 --> 00:28:57,919
and having more astronauts there to do

436
00:29:00,870 --> 00:28:59,760
those experiments to to develop those

437
00:29:03,190 --> 00:29:00,880
capabilities

438
00:29:04,389 --> 00:29:03,200
will be transformational for humanity i

439
00:29:05,750 --> 00:29:04,399
i think that's one of the

440
00:29:07,430 --> 00:29:05,760
really important things about this

441
00:29:08,950 --> 00:29:07,440
mission and it was said earlier

442
00:29:10,630 --> 00:29:08,960
and it's getting more crew up there to

443
00:29:12,149 --> 00:29:10,640
be able to do the science and not just

444
00:29:14,149 --> 00:29:12,159
maintain the space station

445
00:29:15,909 --> 00:29:14,159
you know being up on iss it's a

446
00:29:17,590 --> 00:29:15,919
full-time job just to clean all the

447
00:29:18,870 --> 00:29:17,600
filters and keep everything operating

448
00:29:20,389 --> 00:29:18,880
and running and then you throw in

449
00:29:22,230 --> 00:29:20,399
everybody's got two and a half hours of

450
00:29:23,830 --> 00:29:22,240
mandatory exercise every day and you're

451
00:29:25,269 --> 00:29:23,840
constantly eating into the time that's

452
00:29:27,110 --> 00:29:25,279
available to do science

453
00:29:29,190 --> 00:29:27,120
and this is such a phenomenal

454
00:29:31,110 --> 00:29:29,200
microgravity research facility

455
00:29:32,870 --> 00:29:31,120
i mean we've it's done so many amazing

456
00:29:33,669 --> 00:29:32,880
things already but we don't know what

457
00:29:35,830 --> 00:29:33,679
else can come

458
00:29:37,110 --> 00:29:35,840
now that we are getting into a real

459
00:29:39,750 --> 00:29:37,120
ability to use it

460
00:29:40,470 --> 00:29:39,760
that's right i'd also add that we're

461
00:29:43,590 --> 00:29:40,480
looking

462
00:29:43,990 --> 00:29:43,600
back at earth of how do we help folks on

463
00:29:46,630 --> 00:29:44,000
earth

464
00:29:47,830 --> 00:29:46,640
but we're also looking at preparing to

465
00:29:51,510 --> 00:29:47,840
go to mars

466
00:29:53,669 --> 00:29:51,520
so we're looking backwards and forwards

467
00:29:54,549 --> 00:29:53,679
and there's so much on in both

468
00:29:57,430 --> 00:29:54,559
directions

469
00:29:58,870 --> 00:29:57,440
that can be done up there yeah awesome

470
00:29:59,269 --> 00:29:58,880
so let's talk for a minute a question

471
00:30:02,389 --> 00:29:59,279
came in

472
00:30:05,350 --> 00:30:02,399
about um training

473
00:30:06,310 --> 00:30:05,360
crews as well as kind of man rating or

474
00:30:09,029 --> 00:30:06,320
human rating

475
00:30:10,710 --> 00:30:09,039
uh capsules spacecraft so we'll kind of

476
00:30:12,470 --> 00:30:10,720
take those as two separate topics of

477
00:30:14,310 --> 00:30:12,480
how do are we training our crews the

478
00:30:15,750 --> 00:30:14,320
same way and are we

479
00:30:17,510 --> 00:30:15,760
developing our spacecraft the same way

480
00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:17,520
we always have and i don't know who

481
00:30:20,389 --> 00:30:18,480
wants to take that one or

482
00:30:22,149 --> 00:30:20,399
i'm sure there's lots to say there well

483
00:30:24,630 --> 00:30:22,159
so when you think about how we

484
00:30:25,909 --> 00:30:24,640
create an an astronaut um you know they

485
00:30:27,430 --> 00:30:25,919
they have a two-year period where

486
00:30:29,190 --> 00:30:27,440
they're astronaut candidates

487
00:30:30,789 --> 00:30:29,200
and then um that you know they go

488
00:30:32,549 --> 00:30:30,799
through you know a whole host of

489
00:30:33,190 --> 00:30:32,559
different types of training everything

490
00:30:35,350 --> 00:30:33,200
from

491
00:30:37,590 --> 00:30:35,360
you know how to do a spacewalk using the

492
00:30:39,190 --> 00:30:37,600
the the neutral buoyancy lab a huge

493
00:30:42,630 --> 00:30:39,200
swimming pool down in houston

494
00:30:45,590 --> 00:30:42,640
uh to to to flight simulators to

495
00:30:46,470 --> 00:30:45,600
um you know uh yeah i don't know

496
00:30:48,630 --> 00:30:46,480
spacewalking

497
00:30:49,590 --> 00:30:48,640
etc they do all kinds they learn russian

498
00:30:51,029 --> 00:30:49,600
for goodness sake

499
00:30:52,950 --> 00:30:51,039
you got two years and when you're done

500
00:30:55,669 --> 00:30:52,960
you got to come out speaking russian i

501
00:30:56,470 --> 00:30:55,679
i couldn't yeah i couldn't do it but but

502
00:30:58,789 --> 00:30:56,480
others can

503
00:31:00,149 --> 00:30:58,799
and so so they go through that training

504
00:31:02,070 --> 00:31:00,159
then after two years you are

505
00:31:03,990 --> 00:31:02,080
you are a qualified astronaut and then

506
00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:04,000
of course you get selected for

507
00:31:07,269 --> 00:31:05,760
a mission one of the things that's

508
00:31:08,549 --> 00:31:07,279
unique today is we have so many things

509
00:31:11,269 --> 00:31:08,559
under development

510
00:31:12,230 --> 00:31:11,279
and now obviously in operation with the

511
00:31:15,830 --> 00:31:12,240
the spacex

512
00:31:19,750 --> 00:31:15,840
crew dragon the boeing starliner capsule

513
00:31:22,389 --> 00:31:19,760
um the the the orion crew capsule

514
00:31:23,430 --> 00:31:22,399
uh each each one of these is different

515
00:31:25,990 --> 00:31:23,440
uh very different

516
00:31:27,269 --> 00:31:26,000
and so once once you become an astronaut

517
00:31:29,190 --> 00:31:27,279
you have to you have to get trained for

518
00:31:30,549 --> 00:31:29,200
the specific vehicle that you're in

519
00:31:32,950 --> 00:31:30,559
and then you have to be trained for the

520
00:31:34,870 --> 00:31:32,960
specific mission that you're doing so

521
00:31:36,870 --> 00:31:34,880
every time an astronaut gets trained

522
00:31:38,470 --> 00:31:36,880
they get trained in very different ways

523
00:31:40,470 --> 00:31:38,480
and different different astronauts are

524
00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:40,480
doing different things some are pilots

525
00:31:43,669 --> 00:31:41,760
um that are going to be you know

526
00:31:46,630 --> 00:31:43,679
obviously at the controls and others are

527
00:31:48,310 --> 00:31:46,640
are are mission specialists so um but

528
00:31:49,750 --> 00:31:48,320
i'll tell you today every astronaut is

529
00:31:50,950 --> 00:31:49,760
an astronaut and they're all going to be

530
00:31:52,389 --> 00:31:50,960
doing science and they're all going to

531
00:31:54,710 --> 00:31:52,399
be capable of flying

532
00:31:55,669 --> 00:31:54,720
so it's good awesome did you have

533
00:31:57,990 --> 00:31:55,679
something you wanted to add

534
00:31:59,350 --> 00:31:58,000
no i think that's good perfect um so

535
00:32:00,149 --> 00:31:59,360
yeah i want to highlight a couple things

536
00:32:02,149 --> 00:32:00,159
victor glover

537
00:32:03,190 --> 00:32:02,159
flying this is his rookie mission so he

538
00:32:04,549 --> 00:32:03,200
doesn't have this experience i'm sure

539
00:32:06,789 --> 00:32:04,559
we'd all love to kind of

540
00:32:09,269 --> 00:32:06,799
be with him to experience whatever that

541
00:32:11,590 --> 00:32:09,279
feeling is of being in space

542
00:32:12,870 --> 00:32:11,600
it sounds amazing to me and then we have

543
00:32:13,750 --> 00:32:12,880
suici who's flown on two other

544
00:32:17,190 --> 00:32:13,760
spacecraft

545
00:32:19,590 --> 00:32:17,200
then shannon and mike

546
00:32:20,870 --> 00:32:19,600
um well this will be not their first

547
00:32:22,389 --> 00:32:20,880
flight but i think they've only flown on

548
00:32:24,310 --> 00:32:22,399
one crafts previously so

549
00:32:25,909 --> 00:32:24,320
a really diverse crew a really neat

550
00:32:28,630 --> 00:32:25,919
group from what i understand

551
00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:28,640
i'm excited to see them fly uh i want to

552
00:32:32,870 --> 00:32:29,760
ask

553
00:32:34,870 --> 00:32:32,880
um mr cabana so

554
00:32:36,630 --> 00:32:34,880
there's a question about traditions for

555
00:32:38,789 --> 00:32:36,640
astronauts and i know that there's

556
00:32:40,310 --> 00:32:38,799
probably things deeper into training and

557
00:32:42,870 --> 00:32:40,320
otherwise but thinking about

558
00:32:43,750 --> 00:32:42,880
the lead-up to launch i know there are

559
00:32:45,590 --> 00:32:43,760
some traditions

560
00:32:47,190 --> 00:32:45,600
that it used to be and some new ones

561
00:32:47,990 --> 00:32:47,200
that are being started um can you tell

562
00:32:49,909 --> 00:32:48,000
us more about

563
00:32:51,269 --> 00:32:49,919
traditions that you went through as well

564
00:32:52,630 --> 00:32:51,279
as do you know of the new ones that are

565
00:32:53,669 --> 00:32:52,640
happening so there's one tradition i'll

566
00:32:55,029 --> 00:32:53,679
throw out there

567
00:32:57,029 --> 00:32:55,039
and i don't know if they're still doing

568
00:32:59,269 --> 00:32:57,039
it or not but uh

569
00:33:00,470 --> 00:32:59,279
prior to uh when the crew got suited up

570
00:33:02,470 --> 00:33:00,480
in the suit room

571
00:33:03,669 --> 00:33:02,480
there was a specific time you walked out

572
00:33:05,350 --> 00:33:03,679
to make the timeline

573
00:33:07,029 --> 00:33:05,360
to drive out to the pad and if you were

574
00:33:07,990 --> 00:33:07,039
suited up early you still couldn't leave

575
00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:08,000
the suit room

576
00:33:11,990 --> 00:33:10,240
so they had to do something to occupy

577
00:33:13,830 --> 00:33:12,000
the the crew and one of the

578
00:33:15,509 --> 00:33:13,840
things that they did it was played

579
00:33:18,389 --> 00:33:15,519
low-handed poker

580
00:33:20,710 --> 00:33:18,399
possum fargo and uh it was the director

581
00:33:22,149 --> 00:33:20,720
of flight crew ops and a few other folks

582
00:33:24,230 --> 00:33:22,159
chief of the astronaut office

583
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:24,240
and the rule was you couldn't walk out

584
00:33:28,070 --> 00:33:26,080
until the commander won

585
00:33:30,070 --> 00:33:28,080
so yeah that i don't know if they're

586
00:33:32,470 --> 00:33:30,080
carrying that tradition out or not

587
00:33:33,750 --> 00:33:32,480
yeah i think they are uh i think we i

588
00:33:35,269 --> 00:33:33,760
don't think we get to see it

589
00:33:36,870 --> 00:33:35,279
i think they keep it a private event but

590
00:33:38,230 --> 00:33:36,880
i think we'll discuss it some tomorrow

591
00:33:39,830 --> 00:33:38,240
on our broadcast all right

592
00:33:41,029 --> 00:33:39,840
um so looking forward to that um and

593
00:33:42,310 --> 00:33:41,039
maybe catch some other traditions along

594
00:33:43,190 --> 00:33:42,320
the way anybody you don't know of any

595
00:33:45,269 --> 00:33:43,200
other traditions

596
00:33:46,630 --> 00:33:45,279
i i know i'm anxious to kind of discover

597
00:33:48,070 --> 00:33:46,640
this together because they don't really

598
00:33:48,870 --> 00:33:48,080
publicize it we just kind of pick up on

599
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:48,880
it with time

600
00:33:53,029 --> 00:33:51,039
yeah i mean we we see um you know as the

601
00:33:54,310 --> 00:33:53,039
astronauts walk out of those famous

602
00:33:57,350 --> 00:33:54,320
doors that um

603
00:33:59,190 --> 00:33:57,360
our apollo astronauts walked out of um

604
00:34:00,470 --> 00:33:59,200
you know the when you see them for the

605
00:34:02,630 --> 00:34:00,480
first time as they get into their

606
00:34:05,909 --> 00:34:02,640
vehicles and go out to the launch pad

607
00:34:07,509 --> 00:34:05,919
uh they they take a sticker maybe not

608
00:34:09,030 --> 00:34:07,519
that day but previous to that they'll

609
00:34:10,629 --> 00:34:09,040
take a sticker and they'll put it on

610
00:34:12,629 --> 00:34:10,639
you know overhead the door there i think

611
00:34:14,069 --> 00:34:12,639
that's a special moment

612
00:34:15,589 --> 00:34:14,079
and you can see all of the previous

613
00:34:17,349 --> 00:34:15,599
missions that have come before the one

614
00:34:20,310 --> 00:34:17,359
that's currently going and it's a

615
00:34:20,710 --> 00:34:20,320
it's a pretty unique unique experience

616
00:34:23,669 --> 00:34:20,720
cool

617
00:34:25,829 --> 00:34:23,679
mr cabana um i know uh speaking of crew

618
00:34:27,109 --> 00:34:25,839
mr cabana has to take off now he's on a

619
00:34:28,710 --> 00:34:27,119
tight timeline because

620
00:34:30,790 --> 00:34:28,720
he is actually headed to see the crew to

621
00:34:31,669 --> 00:34:30,800
wish them well um so we're gonna thank

622
00:34:32,790 --> 00:34:31,679
you for joining us

623
00:34:33,909 --> 00:34:32,800
um we're gonna keep going for a few more

624
00:34:35,669 --> 00:34:33,919
minutes with questions all right well

625
00:34:36,069 --> 00:34:35,679
thanks josh jim and jim thank you so

626
00:34:37,349 --> 00:34:36,079
much

627
00:34:39,510 --> 00:34:37,359
it's great having you guys at the

628
00:34:42,230 --> 00:34:39,520
kennedy space center and all i can say

629
00:34:43,430 --> 00:34:42,240
is uh go falcon go dragon go resilience

630
00:34:45,349 --> 00:34:43,440
there you go there you go give my

631
00:34:47,190 --> 00:34:45,359
regards to the crew you bet awesome

632
00:34:48,389 --> 00:34:47,200
yeah resilience there as mr commander

633
00:34:50,710 --> 00:34:48,399
just mentioned that's the actual name

634
00:34:52,069 --> 00:34:50,720
given by the crew of their capsule

635
00:34:54,069 --> 00:34:52,079
so it'll be resilience that they're

636
00:34:55,510 --> 00:34:54,079
flying on board so excited for that

637
00:34:57,670 --> 00:34:55,520
um kind of another tradition there of

638
00:35:00,069 --> 00:34:57,680
naming naming capsules

639
00:35:01,190 --> 00:35:00,079
and fun things like that let's another

640
00:35:02,470 --> 00:35:01,200
question from online what's the

641
00:35:04,310 --> 00:35:02,480
historical impact

642
00:35:05,910 --> 00:35:04,320
that this mission has i know we've

643
00:35:08,230 --> 00:35:05,920
spoken to that a little bit already

644
00:35:09,030 --> 00:35:08,240
uh but just in the in the scope of

645
00:35:10,950 --> 00:35:09,040
history

646
00:35:12,550 --> 00:35:10,960
uh we've we've talked about kind of the

647
00:35:14,390 --> 00:35:12,560
past and what has led to this

648
00:35:15,510 --> 00:35:14,400
some of the future we've talked about

649
00:35:17,510 --> 00:35:15,520
the fact that this has been a year with

650
00:35:18,870 --> 00:35:17,520
a global pandemic

651
00:35:20,550 --> 00:35:18,880
which is shocking because i think the

652
00:35:22,470 --> 00:35:20,560
history books won't read that way

653
00:35:24,069 --> 00:35:22,480
with with what we've done this year so

654
00:35:25,270 --> 00:35:24,079
what other history is there in this

655
00:35:27,510 --> 00:35:25,280
moment

656
00:35:29,990 --> 00:35:27,520
so i i would say and i'll turn it to jim

657
00:35:32,310 --> 00:35:30,000
here but i i would say the big thing is

658
00:35:33,829 --> 00:35:32,320
historically human space flight has been

659
00:35:35,270 --> 00:35:33,839
a zero-sum game

660
00:35:36,630 --> 00:35:35,280
it was something that was done by

661
00:35:36,950 --> 00:35:36,640
governments and it was something done

662
00:35:39,430 --> 00:35:36,960
for

663
00:35:41,270 --> 00:35:39,440
governments and and and now with all of

664
00:35:42,470 --> 00:35:41,280
the commercial space industry that exist

665
00:35:45,750 --> 00:35:42,480
today

666
00:35:47,750 --> 00:35:45,760
nasa is one of many customers and that's

667
00:35:48,870 --> 00:35:47,760
really what this commercial crew program

668
00:35:50,710 --> 00:35:48,880
represents

669
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:50,720
um and when there's commercial customers

670
00:35:53,510 --> 00:35:52,160
what that means is we can do public

671
00:35:55,910 --> 00:35:53,520
private partnerships

672
00:35:56,630 --> 00:35:55,920
we can be a customer we can help develop

673
00:35:59,670 --> 00:35:56,640
the market

674
00:36:00,870 --> 00:35:59,680
and then other other companies private

675
00:36:03,349 --> 00:36:00,880
individuals

676
00:36:04,950 --> 00:36:03,359
uh even other countries can step in and

677
00:36:07,030 --> 00:36:04,960
and move the ball forward

678
00:36:08,710 --> 00:36:07,040
uh and and so this really is it's a

679
00:36:11,750 --> 00:36:08,720
transformational moment

680
00:36:12,550 --> 00:36:11,760
uh where it's not just a zero-sum game

681
00:36:14,069 --> 00:36:12,560
where

682
00:36:15,670 --> 00:36:14,079
all of the money comes from government

683
00:36:17,030 --> 00:36:15,680
and the only money that comes in is from

684
00:36:18,630 --> 00:36:17,040
government in fact

685
00:36:20,150 --> 00:36:18,640
it's it's a it's a very robust

686
00:36:21,910 --> 00:36:20,160
commercial marketplace and we want to

687
00:36:25,190 --> 00:36:21,920
see it grow

688
00:36:26,950 --> 00:36:25,200
you know josh going on with what jim's

689
00:36:30,950 --> 00:36:26,960
saying you think of nasa

690
00:36:34,390 --> 00:36:30,960
and we design built and operated

691
00:36:37,829 --> 00:36:34,400
all the spacecraft apollo

692
00:36:40,550 --> 00:36:37,839
gemini all of them and

693
00:36:42,230 --> 00:36:40,560
today we're really looking as jim said

694
00:36:45,270 --> 00:36:42,240
to be one of many customers

695
00:36:47,109 --> 00:36:45,280
but it's really so that nasa can focus

696
00:36:49,589 --> 00:36:47,119
on deep space

697
00:36:51,270 --> 00:36:49,599
we want to have the commercial we want

698
00:36:52,870 --> 00:36:51,280
these partners both commercial and

699
00:36:54,710 --> 00:36:52,880
international partners

700
00:36:57,270 --> 00:36:54,720
so that we can continue in low-earth

701
00:37:00,390 --> 00:36:57,280
orbit build that economy

702
00:37:03,270 --> 00:37:00,400
much larger than it is today and in the

703
00:37:05,510 --> 00:37:03,280
trillions is where we're heading

704
00:37:07,510 --> 00:37:05,520
but you look at historically i can tell

705
00:37:09,109 --> 00:37:07,520
you in my own personal experience i was

706
00:37:11,270 --> 00:37:09,119
about six years old

707
00:37:12,870 --> 00:37:11,280
i found myself being pushed out of my

708
00:37:16,630 --> 00:37:12,880
parents ford

709
00:37:18,710 --> 00:37:16,640
station wagon with my brother jay

710
00:37:21,109 --> 00:37:18,720
and was walking up to somebody's house

711
00:37:24,950 --> 00:37:21,119
in arlington virginia knocked on his

712
00:37:26,390 --> 00:37:24,960
door and john glenn answered the door

713
00:37:27,750 --> 00:37:26,400
and my parents i don't know what my

714
00:37:29,030 --> 00:37:27,760
parents were thinking that they just

715
00:37:31,430 --> 00:37:29,040
threw us up there

716
00:37:33,829 --> 00:37:31,440
and he let us in i pet his cat he gave

717
00:37:36,390 --> 00:37:33,839
us a glass of water we got his autograph

718
00:37:37,589 --> 00:37:36,400
that was my first historically that is

719
00:37:41,030 --> 00:37:37,599
the first time

720
00:37:43,990 --> 00:37:41,040
i was ever touched

721
00:37:44,870 --> 00:37:44,000
space anything to do with space it's the

722
00:37:47,270 --> 00:37:44,880
way to do it that's

723
00:37:49,349 --> 00:37:47,280
that's a good start it was a good start

724
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:49,359
and i ended up working with them

725
00:37:53,750 --> 00:37:51,440
in the senate and he was the same

726
00:37:56,310 --> 00:37:53,760
gentleman that he was as

727
00:37:58,230 --> 00:37:56,320
you know all these astronauts are but

728
00:38:00,310 --> 00:37:58,240
you know to me that's the history

729
00:38:02,230 --> 00:38:00,320
and we're going to continue that history

730
00:38:04,230 --> 00:38:02,240
tomorrow and into the future

731
00:38:06,310 --> 00:38:04,240
cool there's a lot of questions coming

732
00:38:08,470 --> 00:38:06,320
in about the weather i know today is a

733
00:38:10,310 --> 00:38:08,480
beautiful weather day here in florida

734
00:38:12,069 --> 00:38:10,320
um i don't know that it's a great day

735
00:38:13,349 --> 00:38:12,079
for a launch there's a lot of clouds or

736
00:38:14,710 --> 00:38:13,359
some breeze here do you all know that

737
00:38:16,950 --> 00:38:14,720
have you all seen the weather report yet

738
00:38:18,069 --> 00:38:16,960
um for tomorrow i know it's okay yeah i

739
00:38:21,109 --> 00:38:18,079
mean it looks fairly

740
00:38:23,670 --> 00:38:21,119
good but as you know it's it's florida

741
00:38:24,630 --> 00:38:23,680
and so uh so there are some there are

742
00:38:26,550 --> 00:38:24,640
some issues

743
00:38:28,470 --> 00:38:26,560
you know the the concern of course would

744
00:38:29,990 --> 00:38:28,480
be the winds that are coming from the

745
00:38:30,950 --> 00:38:30,000
ocean over the land rather than the

746
00:38:33,990 --> 00:38:30,960
other way

747
00:38:36,470 --> 00:38:34,000
so if there's like a if if for some

748
00:38:37,589 --> 00:38:36,480
uh reason we had to do a launch abort or

749
00:38:39,109 --> 00:38:37,599
a pad abort

750
00:38:41,030 --> 00:38:39,119
uh you know we need them to land in the

751
00:38:43,750 --> 00:38:41,040
ocean not on the land and so

752
00:38:44,950 --> 00:38:43,760
um there's there's a small chance that

753
00:38:46,150 --> 00:38:44,960
the winds could be heading the wrong

754
00:38:46,870 --> 00:38:46,160
direction tomorrow we don't we don't

755
00:38:49,510 --> 00:38:46,880
know

756
00:38:51,190 --> 00:38:49,520
um there's there's there's room there

757
00:38:52,950 --> 00:38:51,200
there's margin so we'll see what what

758
00:38:55,349 --> 00:38:52,960
direction it goes but um

759
00:38:56,870 --> 00:38:55,359
but i think i think look it's uh when we

760
00:38:58,870 --> 00:38:56,880
launched demo two

761
00:39:00,230 --> 00:38:58,880
uh we had we we actually had to scrub a

762
00:39:01,750 --> 00:39:00,240
flight and we came back

763
00:39:03,430 --> 00:39:01,760
you know a couple days later i was like

764
00:39:05,030 --> 00:39:03,440
there's no way we're going i got up in

765
00:39:06,630 --> 00:39:05,040
the morning i was like this thing is

766
00:39:08,230 --> 00:39:06,640
we should cancel it now i think we all

767
00:39:09,990 --> 00:39:08,240
said the same thing that day yeah and by

768
00:39:11,910 --> 00:39:10,000
the afternoon we were launching and it

769
00:39:15,190 --> 00:39:11,920
was a beautiful flight so

770
00:39:17,109 --> 00:39:15,200
uh look we're we're in florida so uh

771
00:39:18,950 --> 00:39:17,119
we're gonna we're gonna go as far as we

772
00:39:19,750 --> 00:39:18,960
can go and if things stay the same we're

773
00:39:21,990 --> 00:39:19,760
gonna be good

774
00:39:23,990 --> 00:39:22,000
great and this afternoon we're gonna be

775
00:39:26,069 --> 00:39:24,000
doing the launch readiness review

776
00:39:28,150 --> 00:39:26,079
yes and i'll be attending that jim's got

777
00:39:29,829 --> 00:39:28,160
some other things he's working on

778
00:39:31,349 --> 00:39:29,839
but we're going to be going through all

779
00:39:34,550 --> 00:39:31,359
those all those

780
00:39:35,109 --> 00:39:34,560
questions and we'll certainly have

781
00:39:37,750 --> 00:39:35,119
answers

782
00:39:39,589 --> 00:39:37,760
by the end of today great yes we do have

783
00:39:40,790 --> 00:39:39,599
a launch readiness review

784
00:39:42,870 --> 00:39:40,800
i think it's kicking off here in just a

785
00:39:44,390 --> 00:39:42,880
few minutes it'll go until it's done

786
00:39:45,430 --> 00:39:44,400
that's how the reviews work and then

787
00:39:46,870 --> 00:39:45,440
there'll be a briefing later this

788
00:39:48,390 --> 00:39:46,880
evening on nasa tv

789
00:39:49,589 --> 00:39:48,400
um and so we will get things like

790
00:39:50,230 --> 00:39:49,599
weather reports and those kinds of

791
00:39:52,630 --> 00:39:50,240
details

792
00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:52,640
hopefully uh all things go for tomorrow

793
00:39:56,150 --> 00:39:53,280
um

794
00:39:57,510 --> 00:39:56,160
last question for today uh is uh

795
00:39:59,270 --> 00:39:57,520
duration of this mission

796
00:40:01,270 --> 00:39:59,280
um we've talked about this being a long

797
00:40:04,069 --> 00:40:01,280
duration mission but what does that mean

798
00:40:04,950 --> 00:40:04,079
um we've seen everything from a few days

799
00:40:06,150 --> 00:40:04,960
up to a year

800
00:40:08,069 --> 00:40:06,160
with our astronauts so what's this

801
00:40:09,349 --> 00:40:08,079
mission for this crew yeah so these uh

802
00:40:09,990 --> 00:40:09,359
these astronauts are going to be up

803
00:40:11,589 --> 00:40:10,000
there for a period

804
00:40:13,270 --> 00:40:11,599
of six months the vehicle will be there

805
00:40:14,710 --> 00:40:13,280
for a period of six months

806
00:40:16,950 --> 00:40:14,720
uh so we've had to make some

807
00:40:19,670 --> 00:40:16,960
modifications to the vehicle the

808
00:40:21,349 --> 00:40:19,680
the limit limiting factor was the solar

809
00:40:26,630 --> 00:40:21,359
panels

810
00:40:28,309 --> 00:40:26,640
and uh and it you know we're in we're in

811
00:40:30,309 --> 00:40:28,319
good shape for uh for a six-month

812
00:40:33,109 --> 00:40:30,319
mission it is a long mission

813
00:40:34,950 --> 00:40:33,119
um the shuttle uh never i don't think

814
00:40:36,870 --> 00:40:34,960
ever did a six-month mission

815
00:40:39,190 --> 00:40:36,880
so this will be the the longest uh

816
00:40:40,069 --> 00:40:39,200
longest one for a for a vehicle a crewed

817
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:40,079
vehicle

818
00:40:43,750 --> 00:40:42,240
uh which is um which is going to be

819
00:40:44,069 --> 00:40:43,760
remarkable so we're very excited about

820
00:40:47,430 --> 00:40:44,079
it

821
00:40:48,230 --> 00:40:47,440

jim has put together

829
00:41:04,870 --> 00:41:03,599
and we're looking for looking for

830
00:41:08,069 --> 00:41:04,880
forward

831
00:41:08,710 --> 00:41:08,079
to a successful launch tomorrow and

832
00:41:11,349 --> 00:41:08,720
again

833
00:41:14,069 --> 00:41:11,359
as i said before this is the beginning

834
00:41:17,109 --> 00:41:14,079
really the dawn of a new space age

835
00:41:17,670 --> 00:41:17,119
that is what we're doing here yeah and i

836
00:41:20,790 --> 00:41:17,680
want to

837
00:41:23,270 --> 00:41:20,800
say to to jim and to josh that

838
00:41:25,430 --> 00:41:23,280
we've had some really great successes uh

839
00:41:26,950 --> 00:41:25,440
as when we look at 2020 which has been a

840
00:41:28,710 --> 00:41:26,960
very difficult year

841
00:41:30,550 --> 00:41:28,720
i will tell you one thing that's great

842
00:41:31,750 --> 00:41:30,560
is that the nasa budget is as high as

843
00:41:33,910 --> 00:41:31,760
it's ever been

844
00:41:35,670 --> 00:41:33,920
that we've got bipartisan a political

845
00:41:37,750 --> 00:41:35,680
support for missions like commercial

846
00:41:39,829 --> 00:41:37,760
crew like the artemis program

847
00:41:41,950 --> 00:41:39,839
like building a human landing system for

848
00:41:44,069 --> 00:41:41,960
the moon which hasn't happened since

849
00:41:47,190 --> 00:41:44,079
1972

850
00:41:49,430 --> 00:41:47,200
so as tough as 2020 has been with covid

851
00:41:51,270 --> 00:41:49,440
some challenges with the economy here's

852
00:41:52,230 --> 00:41:51,280
the thing we're doing big things in

853
00:41:54,230 --> 00:41:52,240
space

854
00:41:56,309 --> 00:41:54,240
this is just the beginning there's so

855
00:41:57,109 --> 00:41:56,319
much more to do 2021 is going to be a

856
00:41:59,910 --> 00:41:57,119
great year

857
00:42:00,870 --> 00:41:59,920
with the artemis program underway and

858
00:42:03,349 --> 00:42:00,880
going to the moon

859
00:42:04,150 --> 00:42:03,359
not just with you know the next man but

860
00:42:06,069 --> 00:42:04,160
the first woman

861
00:42:08,069 --> 00:42:06,079
not not in 2021 but we're going to start

862
00:42:10,630 --> 00:42:08,079
launching rockets in 2021

863
00:42:12,309 --> 00:42:10,640
uh by 2024 landing the first woman and

864
00:42:14,950 --> 00:42:12,319
the next man on the moon so

865
00:42:15,589 --> 00:42:14,960
uh look nasa is in a great position and

866
00:42:18,230 --> 00:42:15,599

that nasa has ever had we call it in
