1
00:00:04,970 --> 00:00:02,869
you are looking at the world's most

2
00:00:08,930 --> 00:00:04,980
powerful rocket and Orion spacecraft

3
00:00:11,450 --> 00:00:08,940
live on Launchpad 39b Artemis 1 embodies

4
00:00:13,970 --> 00:00:11,460
the hard work of thousands across the

5
00:00:15,589 --> 00:00:13,980
world determined to explore for the

6
00:00:17,390 --> 00:00:15,599
benefit of all

7
00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:17,400
welcome and thank you for joining us

8
00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:19,680
live at Kennedy Space Center where the

9
00:00:24,830 --> 00:00:22,560
energy here is palpable as we attempt to

10
00:00:26,990 --> 00:00:24,840
make history today I'm Megan Cruz and

11
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:27,000
this is NASA astronaut Kayla veran Kayla

12
00:00:31,130 --> 00:00:28,800
great to have you here again so awesome

13
00:00:32,930 --> 00:00:31,140
to be here tonight well uh some of you

14
00:00:34,790 --> 00:00:32,940
may know this but Kayla served as a

15
00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:34,800
mission specialist for NASA's SpaceX

16
00:00:38,510 --> 00:00:36,719
crew 3 mission it launched to the

17
00:00:40,369 --> 00:00:38,520
International Space Station in November

18
00:00:42,590 --> 00:00:40,379
of last year and she lived and worked

19
00:00:44,209 --> 00:00:42,600
there for about six months so Kayla tell

20
00:00:45,049 --> 00:00:44,219
everyone why are we returning to the

21
00:00:51,650 --> 00:00:45,059
Moon

22
00:00:53,690 --> 00:00:51,660
place to learn more about our solar

23
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:53,700
system how the moon formed but also how

24
00:00:56,990 --> 00:00:54,960
the Earth and the rest of our solar

25
00:00:58,970 --> 00:00:57,000
system formed and we know so little

26
00:01:00,590 --> 00:00:58,980
about it there's a lot to learn by

27
00:01:02,810 --> 00:01:00,600
returning there and doing some awesome

28
00:01:05,230 --> 00:01:02,820
geology work but it's also the perfect

29
00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:05,240
Proving Ground for our continuation

30
00:01:09,469 --> 00:01:07,619
exploring further into our solar system

31
00:01:11,210 --> 00:01:09,479
and eventually going to Mars right we

32
00:01:14,090 --> 00:01:11,220
need to test all the operations Concepts

33
00:01:16,250 --> 00:01:14,100
all the equipment habitats Rovers suits

34
00:01:17,810 --> 00:01:16,260
all of these things and so it's the

35
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:17,820
perfect place to test all those things

36
00:01:20,810 --> 00:01:19,200
out and learn the things we need to do

37
00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:20,820
to do something that's almost hard to

38
00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:22,080
wrap your head around going all the way

39
00:01:25,789 --> 00:01:23,759
to another planet absolutely really
