1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,554 MUSIC 2 00:00:07,589 --> 00:00:09,162 I am Space Shuttle astronaut 3 00:00:09,197 --> 00:00:11,329 Robert Hoot Gibson and I had the 4 00:00:11,364 --> 00:00:13,226 thrill of going to Space five 5 00:00:13,261 --> 00:00:15,362 times aboard the Space Shuttle. 6 00:00:15,397 --> 00:00:17,689 Back in the early 1980s we were 7 00:00:17,724 --> 00:00:21,209 developing An major new space 8 00:00:21,244 --> 00:00:22,641 capability called the Space 9 00:00:22,676 --> 00:00:24,281 Shuttle. And we launched it 10 00:00:24,316 --> 00:00:27,882 into space 135 times and we 11 00:00:27,917 --> 00:00:29,665 really re-wrote the book on 12 00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:31,449 Space flight for all time. 13 00:00:31,484 --> 00:00:35,321 Today, we at NASA Are doing 14 00:00:35,356 --> 00:00:37,153 the same thing with the next 15 00:00:37,188 --> 00:00:39,401 vehicle in space, the Space 16 00:00:39,436 --> 00:00:41,440 Launch System or SLS. 17 00:00:41,475 --> 00:00:43,927 The most powerful rocket ever 18 00:00:43,962 --> 00:00:46,088 is going to let us re-write 19 00:00:46,123 --> 00:00:48,168 the story of space. We can go 20 00:00:48,203 --> 00:00:49,663 to Mars with it, we can 21 00:00:49,698 --> 00:00:51,511 intercept asteroids with 22 00:00:51,546 --> 00:00:53,440 It. The people at NASA today 23 00:00:53,475 --> 00:00:55,864 are developing this vehicle for 24 00:00:55,899 --> 00:00:57,735 our future endeavors in
