00:02:08,710 --> 00:02:07,520
opening remarks and kind of some

27
00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:08,720
questions for you all

28
00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:11,440
uh nasa administrator mr jim breinstein

29
00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:12,560
thanks for being here

30
00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:15,040
curious to hear from you on the level of

31
00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:16,400
human exploration

32
00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:19,280
what is the nasa's crew one mission

33
00:02:23,030 --> 00:02:20,959
about and what does it mean for us

34
00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:23,040
so for there's a lot of things that it

35
00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:24,720
means when we think about the fact that

36
00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:25,040
we

37
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:27,360
are through the test and development

38
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:29,360
phase of the crew dragon

39
00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:31,120
and now we're into an operational phase

40
00:02:35,509 --> 00:02:33,599
i want to be clear every single flight

41
00:02:37,589 --> 00:02:35,519
when you go to space every single flight

42
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:37,599
has to be dealt with very seriously

43
00:02:41,350 --> 00:02:39,680
we pay attention to detail on all of

44
00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:41,360
them and we learn from every single one

45
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:42,000
of them

46
00:02:45,509 --> 00:02:43,840
but it is a big transition because now

47
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:45,519
we're going with a crew of four

48
00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:46,560
astronauts

49
00:02:49,509 --> 00:02:47,920
which means we're going to be able to

50
00:02:51,350 --> 00:02:49,519
take more people to the international

51
00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:51,360
space station to do more work

52
00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:53,120
and of course the value there is the

53
00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:54,879
microgravity of space and this

54
00:02:57,990 --> 00:02:56,000
laboratory

55
00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:58,000
that is there to benefit all of humanity

56
00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:59,200
so we're going to get

57
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:01,280
so much more science and so much more

58
00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:02,560
discovery

59
00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:04,720
and so much more capability to benefit

60
00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:06,959
humanity than we could otherwise get

61
00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:08,879
um now that we're taking more crew to

62
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:10,400
the international space station and when

63
00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:11,280
we take them

64
00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:13,440
they're going to stay longer so that's a

65
00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:15,120
really big deal i would also say the

66
00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:15,920
other big thing

67
00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:18,800
is you know this is uh the first

68
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:20,159
commercial

69
00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:22,080
contracted launch which means it was

70
00:03:26,149 --> 00:03:24,000
licensed by the faa

71
00:03:28,229 --> 00:03:26,159
which is another big change but very

72
00:03:28,869 --> 00:03:28,239
positive change we're trying to scale up

73
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:28,879
quickly

74
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:31,200
nasa wants to be one customer of many

75
00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:32,720
not the owner and operator of the

76
00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:33,840
vehicles

77
00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:35,360
we want to have numerous providers that

78
00:03:38,229 --> 00:03:37,040
can compete on cost and innovation to

79
00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:38,239
bring down cost

80
00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:40,879
and increase access to space the other

81
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:41,920
big thing

82
00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:43,200
is the fact that we're going to have an

83
00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:45,440
international partner on this one

84
00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:48,560
which is fantastic japan has been an

85
00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:50,480
amazing partner for the united states in

86
00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:53,680
space exploration for so many years now

87
00:03:56,949 --> 00:03:55,280
and of course they're not just a partner

88
00:03:58,070 --> 00:03:56,959
in low earth orbit at the international

89
00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:58,080
space station

90
00:04:01,110 --> 00:04:00,319
they they have gone all in committing to

91
00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:01,120
the moon

92
00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:04,480
to mars program

93
00:04:07,509 --> 00:04:06,640
uh japan has been an amazing partner for

94
00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:07,519
decades now

95
00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:09,200
and it's thrilling to see that here we

96
00:04:12,789 --> 00:04:11,200
are on the first crew launch

97
00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:12,799
of dragon and they're going to be with

98
00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:14,400
us yeah uh

99
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:17,040
obviously humanity it seems like this is

100
00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:17,840
such a big deal

101
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:19,840
but it is one piece of so many pieces

102
00:04:22,950 --> 00:04:21,440
that's right uh so we're excited for

103
00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:22,960
this piece to be moving forward

104
00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:25,280
uh mr uh jim moorhard um who's our

105
00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:26,639
deputy administrator thanks for being

106
00:04:28,230 --> 00:04:27,040
here

107
00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:28,240
i wanted to ask you kind of from the

108
00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:30,240
agency perspective um you and mr

109
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:31,040
breinstein

110
00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:33,280
get to see kind of everything we do like

111
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:34,639
nobody else can

112
00:04:38,629 --> 00:04:36,479
and so curious to hear from you what's

113
00:04:39,909 --> 00:04:38,639
the feeling like for the agency what is

114
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:39,919
this moment like

115
00:04:44,469 --> 00:04:42,960
for us as nasa gosh first i appreciate

116
00:04:47,909 --> 00:04:44,479
the question but we have

117
00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:47,919
just an amazing workforce and you think

118
00:04:51,270 --> 00:04:48,400
about

119
00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:51,280
even during a pandemic at no time have

120
00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:54,000
we ever pushed we've always said

121
00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:56,080
help your health and safety is number

122
00:04:59,110 --> 00:04:58,240
one it's paramount for what we want to

123
00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:59,120
do

124
00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:00,960
and to me that's leadership that's jim's

125
00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:03,840
leadership and we continue to do that

126
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:06,080
but in the meantime as jim's talked

127
00:05:11,909 --> 00:05:08,160
about it's low earth orbit

128
00:05:13,990 --> 00:05:11,919
it's it's but it's also moon it's mars

129
00:05:15,029 --> 00:05:14,000
it's earth sciences it's planetary

130
00:05:17,590 --> 00:05:15,039
sciences it's

131
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:17,600
it's studying the sun all these things

132
00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:18,720
come together

133
00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:22,000
but we're really here to help humanity

134
00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:24,560
that's why nasa exists and that's what

135
00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:26,160
we continue to do

136
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:28,080
and it's just been a great honor to and

137
00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:29,440
it continues to be

138
00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:31,840
to work with these folks because they

139
00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:33,280
are so committed

140
00:05:37,029 --> 00:05:35,840
and it's just a pleasure every day

141
00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:37,039
that's how i'd say it

142
00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:38,960
awesome yeah i mean well said not much

143
00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:40,320
else to say um

144
00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:41,840
and it's exciting too because this is

145
00:05:43,749 --> 00:05:43,199
the first time i think this is the first

146
00:05:45,749 --> 00:05:43,759
time

147
00:05:46,790 --> 00:05:45,759
we will have a long-duration crew of

148
00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:46,800
seven uh

149
00:05:50,390 --> 00:05:48,160
even with the shuttle program we never

150
00:05:53,029 --> 00:05:50,400
ran a long duration crew of seven so

151
00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:53,039
the realization of bridging the gap from

152
00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:54,240
the shuttle program

153
00:05:58,070 --> 00:05:56,720
to commercial crew mr cabana you have

154
00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:58,080
been a bridge of leadership

155
00:06:01,670 --> 00:06:00,560
across that span um so it's got to feel

156
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:01,680
good that we're here

157
00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:03,440
first off but curious to kind of get

158
00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:05,520
your take as things just speed up for

159
00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:06,000
the kennedy

160
00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:08,240
space center uh what does that mean for

161
00:06:12,629 --> 00:06:09,120
for our

162
00:06:14,950 --> 00:06:12,639
center but also just our spaceport

163
00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:14,960
well first off josh i mean it this is an

164
00:06:19,029 --> 00:06:17,360
amazing time for america's space program

165
00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:19,039
when you look at what we have done here

166
00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:21,120
at ksc but it's across the board

167
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:23,039
our partnership with the faa with the

168
00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:25,199
45th space wing in the air force to

169
00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:26,800
establish the environment that we have

170
00:06:31,749 --> 00:06:28,960
here to enable commercial launches more

171
00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:31,759
efficiently and effectively less costly

172
00:06:36,070 --> 00:06:34,479
it's absolutely awesome and yes it's

173
00:06:37,909 --> 00:06:36,080
going to continue you know the one thing

174
00:06:38,710 --> 00:06:37,919
that's constant in our lives is change

175
00:06:40,629 --> 00:06:38,720
all right

176
00:06:42,230 --> 00:06:40,639
and we are going to continue to change

177
00:06:43,350 --> 00:06:42,240
and evolve but we're going to continue

178
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:43,360
to change and evolve

179
00:06:46,629 --> 00:06:45,120
to even a better condition as we

180
00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:46,639
increase the number of launches that we

181
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:47,280
have

182
00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:49,919
what jim bradenstein has done his effort

183
00:06:53,589 --> 00:06:51,840
to commercialize low earth orbit

184
00:06:55,350 --> 00:06:53,599
establish this commercial economy in low

185
00:06:57,430 --> 00:06:55,360
earth orbit to enable nasa

186
00:06:59,110 --> 00:06:57,440
to focus on the hard job of exploring

187
00:07:00,790 --> 00:06:59,120
but we're not going exploring alone

188
00:07:01,270 --> 00:07:00,800
we're taking our commercial partners

189
00:07:03,270 --> 00:07:01,280
with us

190
00:07:04,870 --> 00:07:03,280
as we establish the gateway around the

191
00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:04,880

operations on the moon and mars

202
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:22,720
this is not something that we're doing

203
00:07:26,390 --> 00:07:24,720
alone uh you know i always talk

204
00:07:27,830 --> 00:07:26,400
there's only one space above us people

205
00:07:28,870 --> 00:07:27,840
talk about commercial space government

206
00:07:30,870 --> 00:07:28,880
space baloney

207
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:30,880
new space old space there's one space up

208
00:07:34,390 --> 00:07:32,880
there and we need to be integrated with

209
00:07:36,070 --> 00:07:34,400
our commercial partners government

210
00:07:37,350 --> 00:07:36,080
and commercial integrated together for

lift off at 7 49 pm eastern time

229
00:08:08,950 --> 00:08:08,000
we have three nas astronauts and as mr

230
00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:08,960
breitner mentioned

231
00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:11,759
an international partner in suicinaguchi

232
00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:13,520
who's flying from jaxa with us

233
00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:15,120
um so a huge accomplishment there the

234
00:08:19,029 --> 00:08:16,800
nasa astronauts mike hopkins

235
00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:19,039
victor glover and shannon walker um so

236
00:08:21,749 --> 00:08:20,639
let's jump into questions here mr cabana

237
00:08:23,350 --> 00:08:21,759
we'll come to you first because you have

238
00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:23,360
personal experience with this

239
00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:26,400
uh when the astronauts are in space do

240
00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:27,840
they have an opportunity to talk to

241
00:08:29,909 --> 00:08:28,639
their family

242
00:08:32,389 --> 00:08:29,919
and you would know this because you

243
00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:32,399
spent a number of days in space on four

244
00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:33,760
shuttle missions well it's so much

245
00:08:36,709 --> 00:08:35,120
better now than when i was up there they

246
00:08:38,630 --> 00:08:36,719
had arranged everything special for us

247
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:38,640
to have a video telecon with our

248
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:40,000
families and it only happened on the

249
00:08:42,550 --> 00:08:41,440
long duration flights that you got a

250
00:08:44,630 --> 00:08:42,560
video telecon

251
00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:44,640
otherwise it was emailed back and forth

252
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:46,480
now they've got a voice over ip tell if

253
00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:48,080
they can call home anytime they want and

254
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:49,519
talk to folks i was sitting in my office

255
00:08:52,230 --> 00:08:50,640
one day i got a call from the

256
00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:52,240
international space station it's like oh

257
00:08:56,550 --> 00:08:54,399
hey how you doing no so now

258
00:08:58,389 --> 00:08:56,560
communications today are so much better

259
00:08:59,750 --> 00:08:58,399
and and that's really important to be

260
00:09:01,509 --> 00:08:59,760
able to stay connected

261
00:09:03,430 --> 00:09:01,519
you know with friends and family when

262
00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:03,440
you are on a six-month mission i look

263
00:09:05,590 --> 00:09:04,800
back to when i was deployed in the

264
00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:05,600
marine corps

265
00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:08,959
overseas you know and we used to call on

266
00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:11,360
you know ham radio calling home you know

267
00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:12,959
i love you honey over

268
00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:16,560
and uh you know today communication

269
00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:18,399
satellites nasa what we have done the

270
00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:19,680
space industry has

271
00:09:23,269 --> 00:09:22,720
changed communications uh for for

272
00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:23,279
everyone

273
00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:25,040
connecting us all and i i think it's

274
00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:26,000
really great that they're so

275
00:09:29,430 --> 00:09:27,120
interconnected

276
00:09:30,150 --> 00:09:29,440
awesome good uh so mr breitner coming to

277
00:09:32,870 --> 00:09:30,160

279
00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:34,959
these commercial crew astronaut crews

280
00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:36,480
i think it's been a couple years now it

281
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:38,080

selection process and kind of what goes

284
00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:43,200
into that i think we're in the middle of

285
00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:44,800
another round of selection right now

286
00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:46,560
what's that process like yeah so i'll

287
00:09:48,470 --> 00:09:48,160
tell you there are professionals that

288
00:09:50,150 --> 00:09:48,480
are

289
00:09:52,389 --> 00:09:50,160
you know working in the astronaut office

293
00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:58,720
crews but i'll tell you when you look at

294
00:10:00,949 --> 00:10:00,320
the astronaut core you really can't go

295
00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:00,959
wrong

296
00:10:04,150 --> 00:10:03,680
there are every single one of them has

297
00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:04,160
like

298
00:10:08,949 --> 00:10:06,720
you know seven phds and their medical

299
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:08,959

and some of them are medical doctors and

301
00:10:14,470 --> 00:10:12,880
navy seals at the same time it's a

302

it is really an amazing group of

303
00:10:17,990 --> 00:10:16,640
individuals um and so

astronaut office down at the johnson

308
00:10:28,790 --> 00:10:25,839
space center in texas

309
00:10:29,350 --> 00:10:28,800
um i also want to say about bob look uh

310
00:10:31,910 --> 00:10:29,360

of continuous human presence on the

313
00:10:36,790 --> 00:10:35,519
international space station

314
00:10:39,590 --> 00:10:36,800
a lot of people don't know but you know

315
00:10:41,590 --> 00:10:39,600
bob was there when the unity node

316
00:10:42,870 --> 00:10:41,600
was was flown to the internet literally

317
00:10:45,509 --> 00:10:42,880

319
00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:46,000
person

320
00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:48,320
on the unity node uh when it was when it

321
00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:49,120
was assembled

322
00:10:53,269 --> 00:10:51,360
um and here we are and you talk about

323
00:10:53,750 --> 00:10:53,279
the transformation and how we've evolved

324
00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:53,760
in our

325
00:10:59,670 --> 00:10:56,800
the way we do contracting um and and

326
00:11:00,069 --> 00:10:59,680
and what's amazing is uh uh it's still

327
00:11:01,990 --> 00:11:00,079

334
00:11:15,430 --> 00:11:14,079
amazing leader

335
00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:15,440
and your commitment to this program

336
00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:16,320
throughout the years has been

337
00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:18,240
astonishing oh thanks jim i appreciate

338
00:11:21,190 --> 00:11:19,200
it

339
00:11:22,310 --> 00:11:21,200
uh mr moorhart will come to you next uh

340
00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:22,320
where will you be launched

341
00:11:26,710 --> 00:11:24,720
watching launch from and what's the one

342
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:26,720
thing you're most excited about

343
00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:28,240
boy you know i'm going to be watching it

344
00:11:31,750 --> 00:11:29,760
with the administrator

345
00:11:32,870 --> 00:11:31,760
and we certainly are going to be

346
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:32,880
watching closely

347
00:11:40,069 --> 00:11:37,040
uh you know i'm excited really because

348
00:11:42,870 --> 00:11:40,079
this is when those astronauts

349
00:11:44,150 --> 00:11:42,880
open that portal at the international

350
00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:44,160
space station

351
00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:46,399
we're going to be increasing the

352
00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:47,760
research we're doing

353
00:11:54,790 --> 00:11:51,600
by 300 percent there is such a demand

354
00:11:56,069 --> 00:11:54,800
for research with microgravity in low

355
00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:56,079
earth orbit

356
00:11:59,350 --> 00:11:58,800
and the hope is ultimately that we'll

357
00:12:02,069 --> 00:11:59,360
have

358
00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:02,079
commercial space stations which is going

359
00:12:07,430 --> 00:12:04,639
to drive the demand even further

360
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:07,440
this is why we've worked so hard to have

361
00:12:11,110 --> 00:12:09,360
a commercial crew program

362
00:12:13,670 --> 00:12:11,120
we're really at the beginning we're at

363
00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:13,680
the dawn of a new space age

364
00:12:17,030 --> 00:12:16,079
of really human space flight that's what

365
00:12:20,069 --> 00:12:17,040
we're trying to do

366
00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:20,079
again to help humankind

367
00:12:24,150 --> 00:12:22,240
yeah so it's interesting to hear you say

368
00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:24,160
that as this is a beginning moment

369
00:12:27,269 --> 00:12:25,760
and then to hear comments from mr brian

370
00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:27,279
mr cabana of

371
00:12:33,509 --> 00:12:31,040
the i hope people can feel kind of

372
00:12:35,110 --> 00:12:33,519
just the excitement of celebrating

373
00:12:36,870 --> 00:12:35,120
what's been done so far

374
00:12:38,150 --> 00:12:36,880
that it's incredible how far we've come

375
00:12:39,509 --> 00:12:38,160
and yet this is still kind of a

376
00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:39,519
beginning moment for us

377
00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:40,800
that there's so much more to go so i

378
00:12:43,670 --> 00:12:42,560
hope people kind of can feel that energy

379
00:12:46,069 --> 00:12:43,680
as we move into

380
00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:46,079
a new era for us um on the note of

381
00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:47,440
research somebody asked the question

382
00:12:50,310 --> 00:12:48,480
online of

383
00:12:51,990 --> 00:12:50,320
do we know what kind of experiments this

384
00:12:53,829 --> 00:12:52,000
crew will actually be conducting

385
00:12:55,030 --> 00:12:53,839
and if we're not sure on the specifics i

386
00:12:55,590 --> 00:12:55,040
know there are some resources out there

387
00:12:58,870 --> 00:12:55,600
for

388
00:13:01,829 --> 00:12:58,880
take that one

389
00:13:02,389 --> 00:13:01,839
i i would refer that one to my space

390
00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:02,399
station

391
00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:05,120
app on my phone perfect and it's got all

392
00:13:09,910 --> 00:13:07,040
the science everything that's going on

393
00:13:10,470 --> 00:13:09,920
real time what's being done on iss and

394
00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:10,480
uh

395
00:13:14,949 --> 00:13:12,560
that that's a a truthful way to get the

396
00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:14,959
answer rather than me guessing

397
00:13:18,550 --> 00:13:16,560
yeah obviously we know there is research

398
00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:18,560
going up that's not the highlight here

399
00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:19,519
that the people are

400
00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:21,200
the people cargo that's our real

401
00:13:23,430 --> 00:13:22,399
highlight here but certainly really good

402
00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:23,440
research going on and

403
00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:25,839
we have a a slew of nasa apps that are

404
00:13:30,790 --> 00:13:27,680
out there amazing everything from

405
00:13:32,550 --> 00:13:30,800
art to science to earth to uh other

406
00:13:33,269 --> 00:13:32,560
planets mars you name it and we've got

407
00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:33,279
resources

408
00:13:36,310 --> 00:13:34,800
available for it i'll tell you one

409
00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:36,320
experiment um that

410
00:13:40,150 --> 00:13:39,360
that really gets me excited um josh and

411
00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:40,160
that is this

412
00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:43,120
um they're they're doing they're they're

413
00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:43,920
doing work

414
00:13:48,150 --> 00:13:46,320
to develop regenerative medicine on the

415
00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:48,160
international space station so

416
00:13:53,590 --> 00:13:50,880
josh we could take your own skin cells

417
00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:53,600
your own skin cells and use your own dna

418
00:13:56,949 --> 00:13:56,480
to actually create your own human tissue

419
00:13:59,189 --> 00:13:56,959
um

420
00:14:00,069 --> 00:13:59,199
and use that are you going to clone me

421
00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:00,079
am i getting a clone

422
00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:03,120
one day that might be very dangerous i

423
00:14:06,389 --> 00:14:04,160
don't know about that uh

424
00:14:08,710 --> 00:14:06,399
yeah that's not what we're doing one

425
00:14:09,829 --> 00:14:08,720
josh might be all nasa can handle

426
00:14:12,150 --> 00:14:09,839
but i know a lot of people who would

427
00:14:13,750 --> 00:14:12,160
second that comment all right but uh

428
00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:13,760
i'll tell you yeah and mr cabana is one

429
00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:16,160
of them there we go but uh but no the

430
00:14:19,350 --> 00:14:17,600
the idea though is that we there's

431
00:14:21,110 --> 00:14:19,360
life-saving capabilities that that

432
00:14:22,949 --> 00:14:21,120
microgravity can be used for

433
00:14:24,790 --> 00:14:22,959
and having more astronauts there to do

434
00:14:25,829 --> 00:14:24,800
those experiments to to develop those

435
00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:25,839
capabilities

436
00:14:29,350 --> 00:14:28,160
will be transformational for humanity i

437
00:14:30,710 --> 00:14:29,360
i think that's one of the

438
00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:30,720
really important things about this

439
00:14:33,910 --> 00:14:32,399
mission and it was said earlier

440
00:14:35,590 --> 00:14:33,920
and it's getting more crew up there to

441
00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:35,600
be able to do the science and not just

442
00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:37,120
maintain the space station

443
00:14:40,870 --> 00:14:39,120
you know being up on iss it's a

444
00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:40,880
full-time job just to clean all the

445
00:14:43,829 --> 00:14:42,560
filters and keep everything operating

446
00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:43,839
and running and then you throw in

447
00:14:47,189 --> 00:14:45,360
everybody's got two and a half hours of

448
00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:47,199
mandatory exercise every day and you're

449
00:14:50,230 --> 00:14:48,800
constantly eating into the time that's

450
00:14:52,069 --> 00:14:50,240
available to do science

451
00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:52,079
and this is such a phenomenal

452
00:14:56,069 --> 00:14:53,920
microgravity research facility

453
00:14:57,829 --> 00:14:56,079
i i mean we've it's done so many amazing

454
00:14:58,629 --> 00:14:57,839
things already but we don't know what

455
00:15:00,790 --> 00:14:58,639
else can come

456
00:15:02,069 --> 00:15:00,800
now that we are getting into a real

457
00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:02,079
ability to use it

458
00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:04,720
that's right i'd also add that we're

459
00:15:08,550 --> 00:15:05,440
looking

460
00:15:09,030 --> 00:15:08,560
back at earth of how do we help folks on

461
00:15:11,590 --> 00:15:09,040
earth

462
00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:11,600
but we're also looking at preparing to

463
00:15:16,550 --> 00:15:12,800
go to mars

464
00:15:18,629 --> 00:15:16,560
so we're looking backwards and forwards

465
00:15:21,350 --> 00:15:18,639
and there's so much on in both

466
00:15:23,430 --> 00:15:21,360
directions that can be done up there

467
00:15:24,870 --> 00:15:23,440
yeah awesome so let's talk for a minute

468
00:15:28,230 --> 00:15:24,880
a question came in about

469
00:15:30,629 --> 00:15:28,240
um training crews

470
00:15:31,269 --> 00:15:30,639
as well as kind of man rating or human

471
00:15:33,990 --> 00:15:31,279
rating

472
00:15:35,670 --> 00:15:34,000
uh capsules spacecraft so we'll kind of

473
00:15:37,430 --> 00:15:35,680
take those as two separate topics of

474
00:15:39,269 --> 00:15:37,440
how do are we training our crews the

475
00:15:40,710 --> 00:15:39,279
same way and are we

476
00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:40,720
developing our spacecraft the same way

477
00:15:43,430 --> 00:15:42,480
we always have and i don't know who

478
00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:43,440
wants to take that one or

479
00:15:47,110 --> 00:15:45,360
i'm sure there's lots to say there well

480
00:15:49,590 --> 00:15:47,120
so when you think about how we

481
00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:49,600
create an an astronaut um you know they

482
00:15:53,189 --> 00:15:50,959
they have a two-year period where

483
00:15:54,870 --> 00:15:53,199
they're astronaut candidates and then

484
00:15:56,629 --> 00:15:54,880
um that you know they go through you

485
00:15:58,150 --> 00:15:56,639
know a whole host of different types of

486
00:16:00,310 --> 00:15:58,160
training everything from

487
00:16:02,550 --> 00:16:00,320
you know how to do a spacewalk using the

488
00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:02,560
the the neutral buoyancy lab a huge

489
00:16:08,310 --> 00:16:04,160
swimming pool down in houston

490
00:16:10,550 --> 00:16:08,320
uh to to to flight simulators to um

491
00:16:12,790 --> 00:16:10,560
you know uh yeah i don't know

492
00:16:14,629 --> 00:16:12,800
spacewalking etc they do all kinds of

493
00:16:16,069 --> 00:16:14,639
they learn russian for goodness sake

494
00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:16,079
you got two years and when you're done

495
00:16:20,629 --> 00:16:17,920
you got to come out speaking russian i

496
00:16:21,430 --> 00:16:20,639
i couldn't yeah i couldn't do it but but

497
00:16:23,509 --> 00:16:21,440
others can

498
00:16:25,110 --> 00:16:23,519
and um so so they go through that

499
00:16:25,590 --> 00:16:25,120
training then after two years you are

500
00:16:27,670 --> 00:16:25,600
you are

501
00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:27,680
a qualified astronaut and then of course

502
00:16:30,710 --> 00:16:28,959
you get selected for

503
00:16:32,310 --> 00:16:30,720
a mission one of the things that's

504
00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:32,320
unique today is we have so many things

505
00:16:36,310 --> 00:16:33,519
under development

506
00:16:37,189 --> 00:16:36,320
and now obviously in operation with the

507
00:16:39,910 --> 00:16:37,199
the spacex

508
00:16:40,790 --> 00:16:39,920
crew dragon uh the boeing starliner

509
00:16:47,350 --> 00:16:40,800
capsule

510
00:16:48,389 --> 00:16:47,360
uh each each one of these is different

511
00:16:50,949 --> 00:16:48,399
uh very different

512
00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:50,959
and so once once you become an astronaut

513
00:16:54,150 --> 00:16:52,320
you have to you have to get trained for

514
00:16:55,509 --> 00:16:54,160
the specific vehicle that you're in

515
00:16:57,910 --> 00:16:55,519
and then you have to be trained for the

516
00:16:59,829 --> 00:16:57,920
specific mission that you're doing so

517
00:17:01,829 --> 00:16:59,839
every time an astronaut gets trained

518
00:17:03,430 --> 00:17:01,839
they get trained in very different ways

519
00:17:05,429 --> 00:17:03,440
and different different astronauts are

520
00:17:06,710 --> 00:17:05,439
doing different things some are pilots

521
00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:06,720
um that are going to be you know

522
00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:09,039
obviously at the controls and others are

523
00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:11,760
are mission specialists so um but i'll

524
00:17:14,789 --> 00:17:13,520
tell you today every astronaut is an

525
00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:14,799
astronaut and they're all going to be

526
00:17:17,350 --> 00:17:15,919
doing science and they're all going to

527
00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:17,360
be capable of flying

528
00:17:20,710 --> 00:17:19,760
so it's good awesome did you have

529
00:17:22,949 --> 00:17:20,720
something you wanted to add

530
00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:22,959
no i think that's good perfect um so

531
00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:24,400
yeah i want to highlight a couple things

532
00:17:27,110 --> 00:17:25,120
victor glover

533
00:17:28,150 --> 00:17:27,120
flying this is his rookie mission so he

534
00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:28,160
doesn't have this experience i'm sure

535
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:29,600
we'd all love to kind of

536
00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:31,760
be with him to experience whatever that

537
00:17:36,150 --> 00:17:33,760
feeling is of being in space

538
00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:36,160
um it sounds amazing to me uh and then

539
00:17:38,710 --> 00:17:37,840
we have suici who's flown on two other

540
00:17:42,150 --> 00:17:38,720
spacecraft

541
00:17:44,549 --> 00:17:42,160
then shannon and mike

542
00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:44,559
um well this will be not their first

543
00:17:47,350 --> 00:17:45,840
flight but i think they've only flown on

544
00:17:49,270 --> 00:17:47,360
one crafts previously so

545
00:17:50,870 --> 00:17:49,280
a really diverse crew a really neat

546
00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:50,880
group from what i understand

547
00:17:54,710 --> 00:17:53,600
i'm excited to see them fly uh i want to

548
00:17:57,830 --> 00:17:54,720
ask

549
00:17:59,830 --> 00:17:57,840
um mr cabana so

550
00:18:01,590 --> 00:17:59,840
there's a question about traditions for

551
00:18:02,549 --> 00:18:01,600
astronauts and i know that there's

552
00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:02,559
probably things

553
00:18:06,230 --> 00:18:04,480
deeper into training and otherwise but

554
00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:06,240
thinking about the lead-up

555
00:18:10,230 --> 00:18:08,080
to launch i know there are some

556
00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:10,240
traditions that that used to be and some

557
00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:11,760
new ones that are being started

558
00:18:15,190 --> 00:18:13,440
can you tell us more about traditions

559
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:15,200
that you went through as well as do you

560
00:18:17,990 --> 00:18:16,640
know of the new ones that are happening

561
00:18:19,830 --> 00:18:18,000
so there's one tradition i'll throw out

562
00:18:21,190 --> 00:18:19,840
there and i don't know if they're still

563
00:18:24,150 --> 00:18:21,200
doing it or not

564
00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:24,160
but uh prior to when the crew got suited

565
00:18:27,510 --> 00:18:25,440
up in the suit room

566
00:18:28,630 --> 00:18:27,520
there was a specific time you walked out

567
00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:28,640
to make the timeline

568
00:18:31,990 --> 00:18:30,320
to drive out to the pad and if you were

569
00:18:32,950 --> 00:18:32,000
suited up early you still couldn't leave

570
00:18:35,190 --> 00:18:32,960
the suit room

571
00:18:36,950 --> 00:18:35,200
so they had to do something to occupy

572
00:18:38,870 --> 00:18:36,960
the the crew and one of the

573
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:38,880
things that they did it was played

574
00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:40,000
low-handed

575
00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:42,960
poker possum fargo and uh it was the

576
00:18:46,549 --> 00:18:45,120
director of flight crew ops and a few

577
00:18:47,110 --> 00:18:46,559
other folks chief of the astronaut

578
00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:47,120
office

579
00:18:50,870 --> 00:18:49,200
and the rule was you couldn't walk out

580
00:18:53,029 --> 00:18:50,880
until the commander won

581
00:18:55,029 --> 00:18:53,039
and so yeah that i don't know if they're

582
00:18:57,590 --> 00:18:55,039
carrying that tradition out or not

583
00:18:58,710 --> 00:18:57,600
yeah i think they are i think we i don't

584
00:19:00,230 --> 00:18:58,720
think we get to see it

585
00:19:01,909 --> 00:19:00,240
i think they keep it a private event but

586
00:19:02,870 --> 00:19:01,919
i think we'll discuss it some tomorrow

587
00:19:04,470 --> 00:19:02,880
on our broadcast

588
00:19:05,830 --> 00:19:04,480
all right um so looking forward to that

589
00:19:07,270 --> 00:19:05,840
um and maybe catch some other traditions

590
00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:07,280
along the way anybody you'll know of any

591
00:19:10,310 --> 00:19:08,240
other traditions

592
00:19:11,590 --> 00:19:10,320
i i know i'm anxious to kind of discover

593
00:19:13,029 --> 00:19:11,600
this together because they don't really

594
00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:13,039
publicize it we just kind of pick up on

595
00:19:15,990 --> 00:19:13,840
it with time

596
00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:16,000
yeah i mean we we see um you know as the

597
00:19:18,870 --> 00:19:18,000
astronauts walk out of those famous

598
00:19:21,510 --> 00:19:18,880
doors that

599
00:19:22,310 --> 00:19:21,520
um our apollo astronauts walked out of

600
00:19:24,150 --> 00:19:22,320
um

601
00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:24,160
you know the when you see them for the

602
00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:25,440
first time as they get into their

603
00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:27,600
vehicles and go out to the launch pad

604
00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:30,880
uh they they take a sticker uh maybe not

605
00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:32,480
that day but previous to that they'll

606
00:19:35,590 --> 00:19:34,000
take a sticker and they'll put it on

607
00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:35,600
you know overhead the door there i think

608
00:19:39,029 --> 00:19:37,360
that's a special moment

609
00:19:40,549 --> 00:19:39,039
um and you can see all of the previous

610
00:19:42,310 --> 00:19:40,559
missions that have come before the one

611
00:19:44,470 --> 00:19:42,320
that's currently going and it's uh

612
00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:44,480
it's a pretty unique uh unique

613
00:19:48,150 --> 00:19:45,360
experience

614
00:19:48,710 --> 00:19:48,160
cool mr cabana um i know uh speaking of

615
00:19:50,870 --> 00:19:48,720
crew

616
00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:50,880
mr cabana has to take off now he's on a

617
00:19:53,669 --> 00:19:52,080
tight timeline because

618
00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:53,679
he is actually headed to see the crew to

619
00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:55,120
wish them well um

620
00:19:57,510 --> 00:19:56,400
so we're going to thank you for joining

621
00:19:58,549 --> 00:19:57,520
us um we're going to keep going for a

622
00:19:58,950 --> 00:19:58,559
few more minutes with questions all

623
00:20:00,630 --> 00:19:58,960
right well

624
00:20:02,310 --> 00:20:00,640
thanks josh jim and jim thank you so

625
00:20:03,669 --> 00:20:02,320
much it's great having you guys at the

626
00:20:06,070 --> 00:20:03,679
kennedy space center

627
00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:06,080
and all i can say is go falcon go dragon

628
00:20:08,390 --> 00:20:07,200
go resilience

629
00:20:10,310 --> 00:20:08,400
there you go there you go give my

630
00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:10,320
regards to the crew you bet awesome

631
00:20:13,430 --> 00:20:12,240
yeah resilience there as mr commander

632
00:20:15,430 --> 00:20:13,440
just mentioned that's the actual name

633
00:20:17,110 --> 00:20:15,440
given by the crew of their capsule

634
00:20:19,029 --> 00:20:17,120
um so it'll be resilience that they're

635
00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:19,039
flying on board so excited for that

636
00:20:22,630 --> 00:20:20,480
um kind of another tradition there of

637
00:20:25,110 --> 00:20:22,640
naming naming capsules

638
00:20:26,149 --> 00:20:25,120
and fun things like that let's another

639
00:20:26,870 --> 00:20:26,159
question from online what's the

640
00:20:29,110 --> 00:20:26,880
historical

641
00:20:30,149 --> 00:20:29,120
impact that this mission has i know

642
00:20:30,870 --> 00:20:30,159
we've spoken to that a little bit

643
00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:30,880
already

644
00:20:34,070 --> 00:20:33,200
uh but just in the in the scope of

645
00:20:35,909 --> 00:20:34,080
history

646
00:20:37,510 --> 00:20:35,919
uh we've we've talked about kind of the

647
00:20:39,350 --> 00:20:37,520
past and what has led to this

648
00:20:40,549 --> 00:20:39,360
some of the future we've talked about

649
00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:40,559
the fact that this has been a year with

650
00:20:43,830 --> 00:20:41,840
a global pandemic

651
00:20:45,510 --> 00:20:43,840
um which is shocking because i think the

652
00:20:47,430 --> 00:20:45,520
history books won't read that way

653
00:20:49,029 --> 00:20:47,440
with with what we've done this year so

654
00:20:50,230 --> 00:20:49,039
what other history is there in this

655
00:20:52,470 --> 00:20:50,240
moment

656
00:20:54,950 --> 00:20:52,480
so i i would say and i'll turn it to jim

657
00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:54,960
here but i i would say the big thing is

658
00:20:58,070 --> 00:20:57,360
historically human space flight has been

659
00:21:00,230 --> 00:20:58,080
a zero-sum

660
00:21:01,590 --> 00:21:00,240
game it was something that was done by

661
00:21:02,549 --> 00:21:01,600
governments and it was something done

662
00:21:04,470 --> 00:21:02,559
for governments

663
00:21:06,230 --> 00:21:04,480
and and and now with all of the

664
00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:06,240
commercial space industry that exists

665
00:21:10,710 --> 00:21:07,520
today

666
00:21:12,789 --> 00:21:10,720
nasa is one of many customers and that's

667
00:21:13,830 --> 00:21:12,799
really what this commercial crew program

668
00:21:15,669 --> 00:21:13,840
represents

669
00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:15,679
um and when there's commercial customers

670
00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:17,120
what that means is we can do public

671
00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:18,480
private partnerships

672
00:21:21,669 --> 00:21:20,880
we can be a customer we can help develop

673
00:21:24,630 --> 00:21:21,679
the market

674
00:21:25,830 --> 00:21:24,640
and then other other companies private

675
00:21:28,390 --> 00:21:25,840
individuals

676
00:21:30,230 --> 00:21:28,400
uh even other countries can step in and

677
00:21:31,990 --> 00:21:30,240
and move the ball forward

678
00:21:33,669 --> 00:21:32,000
and and so this really is it's a

679
00:21:36,789 --> 00:21:33,679
transformational moment

680
00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:36,799
uh where it's not just a zero-sum game

681
00:21:40,230 --> 00:21:38,640
where all of the money comes from

682
00:21:41,990 --> 00:21:40,240
government and the only money that comes

683
00:21:43,590 --> 00:21:42,000
in is from government in fact

684
00:21:45,110 --> 00:21:43,600
it's it's a it's a very robust

685
00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:45,120
commercial marketplace and we want to

686
00:21:50,149 --> 00:21:46,880
see it grow

687
00:21:50,789 --> 00:21:50,159
you know josh going on with what jim's

688
00:21:54,149 --> 00:21:50,799
saying

689
00:21:57,830 --> 00:21:54,159
you think of nasa and we design

690
00:22:01,430 --> 00:21:57,840
built and operated all the spacecraft

691
00:22:05,270 --> 00:22:01,440
apollo gemini all of them

692
00:22:07,190 --> 00:22:05,280
and today we're really looking as jim

693
00:22:10,310 --> 00:22:07,200
said to be one of many customers

694
00:22:12,149 --> 00:22:10,320
but it's really so that nasa can focus

695
00:22:14,549 --> 00:22:12,159
on deep space

696
00:22:16,070 --> 00:22:14,559
we want to have the commercial we want

697
00:22:18,310 --> 00:22:16,080
these partners both commercial

698
00:22:19,430 --> 00:22:18,320
and international partners so that we

699
00:22:22,630 --> 00:22:19,440
can continue in low

700
00:22:25,430 --> 00:22:22,640
earth orbit build that economy much

701
00:22:25,990 --> 00:22:25,440
larger than it is today and in the

702
00:22:29,350 --> 00:22:26,000
trillions

703
00:22:31,270 --> 00:22:29,360
is where we're heading but you look at

704
00:22:33,029 --> 00:22:31,280
historically i can tell you in my own

705
00:22:34,070 --> 00:22:33,039
personal experience i was about six

706
00:22:36,230 --> 00:22:34,080
years old

707
00:22:37,830 --> 00:22:36,240
i found myself being pushed out of my

708
00:22:41,590 --> 00:22:37,840
parents ford

709
00:22:43,750 --> 00:22:41,600
station wagon uh with my brother jay

710
00:22:46,070 --> 00:22:43,760
and i was walking up to somebody's house

711
00:22:49,990 --> 00:22:46,080
in arlington virginia knocked down his

712
00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:50,000
door and uh john glenn answered the door

713
00:22:52,710 --> 00:22:51,360
and my parents i don't know what my

714
00:22:53,990 --> 00:22:52,720
parents were thinking that they just

715
00:22:56,390 --> 00:22:54,000
threw us up there

716
00:22:58,870 --> 00:22:56,400
and he let us in i pet his cat he gave

717
00:23:01,350 --> 00:22:58,880
us a glass of water we got his autograph

718
00:23:02,549 --> 00:23:01,360
that was my first historically that is

719
00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:02,559
the first time

720
00:23:09,029 --> 00:23:06,000
i was ever touched

721
00:23:09,909 --> 00:23:09,039
space anything to do with space and the

722
00:23:12,230 --> 00:23:09,919
way to do it that's

723
00:23:14,390 --> 00:23:12,240
that's a good start it was a good start

724
00:23:16,390 --> 00:23:14,400
and i ended up working with him

725
00:23:18,789 --> 00:23:16,400
in the senate and he was the same

726
00:23:21,270 --> 00:23:18,799
gentleman that he was as

727
00:23:21,990 --> 00:23:21,280
you know all these astronauts are but

728
00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:22,000
you know to me

729
00:23:25,350 --> 00:23:23,760
that's the history and we're going to

730
00:23:28,149 --> 00:23:25,360
continue that history

731
00:23:29,270 --> 00:23:28,159
tomorrow and into the future cool

732
00:23:31,270 --> 00:23:29,280
there's a lot of questions coming in

733
00:23:33,430 --> 00:23:31,280
about the weather i know today is a

734
00:23:35,270 --> 00:23:33,440
beautiful weather day here in florida

735
00:23:37,029 --> 00:23:35,280
um i don't know that it's a great day

736
00:23:37,830 --> 00:23:37,039
for a launch there's a lot of clouds or

737
00:23:38,789 --> 00:23:37,840
some breeze here

738
00:23:40,390 --> 00:23:38,799
you all know have you all seen the

739
00:23:41,350 --> 00:23:40,400
weather report yet um for tomorrow i

740
00:23:43,830 --> 00:23:41,360
know it's okay

741
00:23:44,630 --> 00:23:43,840
yeah i mean it looks fairly good but as

742
00:23:48,310 --> 00:23:44,640
you know it's

743
00:23:50,470 --> 00:23:48,320
it's florida and so uh so there are some

744
00:23:52,070 --> 00:23:50,480
there are some issues you know the the

745
00:23:53,830 --> 00:23:52,080
concern of course would be

746
00:23:55,909 --> 00:23:53,840
the winds that are coming from the ocean

747
00:23:58,950 --> 00:23:55,919
over the land rather than the other way

748
00:24:01,430 --> 00:23:58,960
so if there's like a if if for some

749
00:24:02,549 --> 00:24:01,440
uh reason we had to do a launch abort or

750
00:24:04,070 --> 00:24:02,559
a pad abort

751
00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:04,080
uh you know we need them to land in the

752
00:24:08,789 --> 00:24:06,080
ocean not on the land and so

753
00:24:09,909 --> 00:24:08,799
um there's there's a small chance that

754
00:24:11,110 --> 00:24:09,919
the winds could be heading the wrong

755
00:24:11,909 --> 00:24:11,120
direction tomorrow we don't we don't

756
00:24:14,470 --> 00:24:11,919
know

757
00:24:16,230 --> 00:24:14,480
um there's there's there's room there

758
00:24:17,990 --> 00:24:16,240
there's margin so we'll see what what

759
00:24:19,990 --> 00:24:18,000
direction it goes but um

760
00:24:21,909 --> 00:24:20,000
but i think where i think look it's uh

761
00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:21,919
when we launched demo two

762
00:24:25,269 --> 00:24:23,840
uh we had we we actually had to scrub a

763
00:24:26,710 --> 00:24:25,279
flight and we came back

764
00:24:28,390 --> 00:24:26,720
you know a couple days later i was like

765
00:24:29,590 --> 00:24:28,400
there's no way we're going i got up in

766
00:24:31,510 --> 00:24:29,600
the morning i was like this thing

767
00:24:32,870 --> 00:24:31,520
is we should cancel it now i think we

768
00:24:34,310 --> 00:24:32,880
all said the same thing that day yeah

769
00:24:36,149 --> 00:24:34,320
and then by the afternoon we were

770
00:24:36,950 --> 00:24:36,159
launching and it was a beautiful flight

771
00:24:42,070 --> 00:24:36,960
so

772
00:24:43,909 --> 00:24:42,080
we're gonna we're gonna go as far as we

773
00:24:44,710 --> 00:24:43,919
can go and if things stay the same we're

774
00:24:46,870 --> 00:24:44,720
gonna be good

775
00:24:48,950 --> 00:24:46,880
great and this afternoon we're going to

776
00:24:51,110 --> 00:24:48,960
be doing the launch readiness review

777
00:24:53,110 --> 00:24:51,120
yes and i'll be attending that jim's got

778
00:24:54,789 --> 00:24:53,120
some other things he's working on

779
00:24:56,310 --> 00:24:54,799
but we're going to be going through all

780
00:24:59,510 --> 00:24:56,320
those all those

781
00:25:00,070 --> 00:24:59,520
questions and we'll certainly have

782
00:25:02,630 --> 00:25:00,080
answers

783
00:25:04,310 --> 00:25:02,640
by the end of today great yes uh we do

784
00:25:05,669 --> 00:25:04,320
have a launch readiness review

785
00:25:07,830 --> 00:25:05,679
uh i think it's kicking off here in just

786
00:25:09,350 --> 00:25:07,840
a few minutes it'll go until it's done

787
00:25:10,390 --> 00:25:09,360
that's how the reviews work um and then

788
00:25:11,830 --> 00:25:10,400
there'll be a briefing later this

789
00:25:13,350 --> 00:25:11,840
evening on nasa tv

790
00:25:14,549 --> 00:25:13,360
um and so we will get things like

791
00:25:15,190 --> 00:25:14,559
weather reports and those kinds of

792
00:25:18,230 --> 00:25:15,200
details

793
00:25:21,110 --> 00:25:18,240
hopefully all things go for tomorrow um

794
00:25:22,470 --> 00:25:21,120
last question for today uh is uh

795
00:25:24,149 --> 00:25:22,480
duration of this mission

796
00:25:25,510 --> 00:25:24,159
um we've talked about this being a

797
00:25:26,230 --> 00:25:25,520
long-duration mission but what does that

798
00:25:29,110 --> 00:25:26,240
mean

799
00:25:29,909 --> 00:25:29,120
um we've seen everything from a few days

800
00:25:31,110 --> 00:25:29,919
up to a year

801
00:25:33,110 --> 00:25:31,120
with our astronauts so what's this

802
00:25:34,470 --> 00:25:33,120
mission for this crew yeah so these uh

803
00:25:36,149 --> 00:25:34,480
these astronauts are gonna be up there

804
00:25:38,230 --> 00:25:36,159
for a period of six months the vehicle

805
00:25:39,669 --> 00:25:38,240
will be there for a period of six months

806
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:39,679
uh so we've had to make some

807
00:25:42,950 --> 00:25:42,400
modifications to the vehicle the the um

808
00:25:46,310 --> 00:25:42,960
the limit

809
00:25:49,510 --> 00:25:46,320
limiting factor was the solar panels

810
00:25:51,590 --> 00:25:49,520
we got the solar panels changed um and

811
00:25:53,350 --> 00:25:51,600
and uh and it you know we're in we're in

812
00:25:55,750 --> 00:25:53,360
good shape for uh for a six month

813
00:25:58,470 --> 00:25:55,760
mission it is a long mission

814
00:25:59,909 --> 00:25:58,480
the shuttle never i don't think ever did

815
00:26:01,830 --> 00:25:59,919
a six-month mission

816
00:26:03,750 --> 00:26:01,840
so this will be the the longest uh

817
00:26:06,870 --> 00:26:03,760
longest one for a for a vehicle

818
00:26:08,230 --> 00:26:06,880
a crewed vehicle which is um which is

819
00:26:09,110 --> 00:26:08,240
going to be remarkable so we're very

820
00:26:10,870 --> 00:26:09,120
excited about it

821
00:26:12,390 --> 00:26:10,880
cool good all right we'll open it up for

822
00:26:13,190 --> 00:26:12,400

and be a part of this be part of what

829
00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:25,679
jim has put together

830
00:26:29,830 --> 00:26:28,640
and we're looking for looking for

831
00:26:33,029 --> 00:26:29,840
forward

832
00:26:33,750 --> 00:26:33,039
to a successful launch tomorrow and

833
00:26:36,390 --> 00:26:33,760
again

834
00:26:39,029 --> 00:26:36,400
as i said before this is the beginning

835
00:26:41,830 --> 00:26:39,039
really the dawn of a new space age

836
00:26:42,710 --> 00:26:41,840
that is what we're doing here yeah and

837
00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:42,720
and i want to

838
00:26:48,230 --> 00:26:45,760
say to to jim and to josh that uh

839
00:26:50,390 --> 00:26:48,240
we've had some really great successes uh

840
00:26:52,710 --> 00:26:50,400
as when we look at 2020 which has been a

841
00:26:53,669 --> 00:26:52,720
very difficult year i will tell you one

842
00:26:55,510 --> 00:26:53,679
thing that's great

843
00:26:56,789 --> 00:26:55,520
is that the nasa budget is as high as

844
00:26:58,950 --> 00:26:56,799
it's ever been

845
00:27:00,630 --> 00:26:58,960
that we've got bipartisan apolitical

846
00:27:02,710 --> 00:27:00,640
support for missions like commercial

847
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:02,720
crew like the artemis program

848
00:27:06,990 --> 00:27:04,799
like building a human landing system for

849
00:27:09,029 --> 00:27:07,000
the moon which hasn't happened since

850
00:27:12,149 --> 00:27:09,039
1972

851
00:27:14,390 --> 00:27:12,159
so as tough as 2020 has been with covid

852
00:27:16,230 --> 00:27:14,400
some challenges with the economy here's

853
00:27:17,190 --> 00:27:16,240
the thing we're doing big things in

854
00:27:19,190 --> 00:27:17,200
space

855
00:27:21,350 --> 00:27:19,200
this is just the beginning there's so

856
00:27:22,070 --> 00:27:21,360
much more to do 2021 is going to be a

857
00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:22,080
great year

858
00:27:25,830 --> 00:27:24,960
with the artemis program uh underway and

859
00:27:28,389 --> 00:27:25,840
going to the moon

860
00:27:29,190 --> 00:27:28,399
not just with you know the next man but

861
00:27:31,029 --> 00:27:29,200
the first woman

862
00:27:33,350 --> 00:27:31,039
not not in 2021 but we're going to start

863
00:27:35,669 --> 00:27:33,360
launching rockets in 2021

864
00:27:37,269 --> 00:27:35,679
by 2024 landing the first woman and the

865
00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:37,279
next man on the moon so

866
00:27:40,549 --> 00:27:40,000
uh look nasa is in a great position and

867
00:27:43,190 --> 00:27:40,559

868
00:27:44,070 --> 00:27:43,200

and by the way keep in mind we have the

878
00:28:02,470 --> 00:28:00,000
largest budget

879
00:28:04,870 --> 00:28:02,480
that nasa has ever had we call it in

880
00:28:07,430 --> 00:28:04,880
nominal dollars but it's real money

881
00:28:09,029 --> 00:28:07,440
