00:00:34,459 --> 00:00:32,239 just just for the benefit of the 14 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:34,469 hopefully the listening audience let me 15 00:00:40,369 --> 00:00:37,890 just cover a few statements that that I 16 00:00:41,690 --> 00:00:40,379 wanted to make and it's as I say a lot 17 00:00:44,330 --> 00:00:41,700 of times when I come it's always good to 18 00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:44,340 be back in the rocket city I have not 19 00:00:50,389 --> 00:00:47,280 been here and probably a month or two 20 00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:50,399 but so and things are happening so fast 21 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:52,170 that every time I come back then there's 22 00:00:56,779 --> 00:00:54,570 been some change from the Space Launch 23 00:00:59,810 --> 00:00:56,789 System SLS to the International Space 24 00:01:03,229 --> 00:00:59,820 Station to all the other important work 25 00:01:05,690 --> 00:01:03,239 that goes on here day in and day out to 26 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:05,700 support businesses large medium and 27 00:01:10,399 --> 00:01:08,250 small there's one very large conclusion 28 00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:10,409 that we can all come come to and I think 29 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:12,330 I've said this before and that's the 30 00:01:16,190 --> 00:01:14,010 journey to Mars runs through Marshall 31 00:01:20,030 --> 00:01:16,200 you know I think the last time I was 32 00:01:21,530 --> 00:01:20,040 here there was a lot of angst about what 33 00:01:24,770 --> 00:01:21,540 was happening and i had to reemphasize 34 00:01:27,140 --> 00:01:24,780 it for the workforce here that we cannot 35 00:01:29,780 --> 00:01:27,150 think of a path to Mars that doesn't 36 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:29,790 come through here this is the propulsion 37 00:01:35,390 --> 00:01:33,450 Center for for the space agency of the 38 00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:35,400 United States and so I cannot conceive 39 00:01:39,050 --> 00:01:37,439 of a time that that we would not be 40 00:01:40,850 --> 00:01:39,060 taking a journey who are off the planet 41 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:40,860 where we didn't come through here so 42 00:01:44,749 --> 00:01:43,170 that's that's really important they say 43 00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:44,759 that small business is the backbone of 44 00:01:49,130 --> 00:01:46,560 America and in many ways it's the 45 00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:49,140 backbone of NASA's journey to Mars take 46 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:51,600 for example the sls approximately forty 47 00:01:55,850 --> 00:01:53,130 percent of the raw materials and 48 00:01:57,980 --> 00:01:55,860 components used by the prime contractors 49 00:02:00,080 --> 00:01:57,990 to build the SLS rocket are being 50 00:02:01,969 --> 00:02:00,090 produced by small businesses across the 51 00:02:04,090 --> 00:02:01,979 US and I think that's pretty impressive 52 00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:04,100 I don't know about you forty percent 53 00:02:09,619 --> 00:02:07,710 aalto more than 800 small businesses in 54 00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:09,629 43 states around the country are 55 00:02:13,580 --> 00:02:11,760 providing components to develop the 56 00:02:16,009 --> 00:02:13,590 Space Launch System just 57 00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:16,019 think about that for a minute 800 small 58 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:18,209 businesses across the nation are making 59 00:02:23,809 --> 00:02:21,090 it possible for us to launch the SLS 60 00:02:25,460 --> 00:02:23,819 with Ryan on it to Mars meanwhile 61 00:02:27,740 --> 00:02:25,470 Americans are working at more than a 62 00:02:29,930 --> 00:02:27,750 thousand companies many of them small 63 00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:29,940 businesses across nearly every state on 64 00:02:35,479 --> 00:02:33,120 NASA's Commercial Space initiatives so 65 00:02:38,180 --> 00:02:35,489 small business not only matters to our 66 00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:38,190 economy and our families when it comes 67 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:41,040 to the journey to Mars yet also vitally 68 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:43,250 it's vitally important to our future 69 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:45,450 meanwhile when it comes to empowering 70 00:02:50,860 --> 00:02:48,450 American small businesses the team here 71 00:02:53,180 --> 00:02:50,870 at Marshall has put it together somewhat 72 00:02:54,740 --> 00:02:53,190 put together somewhat of a dynasty and 73 00:02:56,330 --> 00:02:54,750 all you need to do is we were joking 74 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:56,340 earlier since I'm in the state of 75 00:03:00,229 --> 00:02:58,170 Alabama you all can relate much better 76 00:03:02,869 --> 00:03:00,239 than I can actually it looks like we're 77 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:02,879 in the Alabama trophy room or something 78 00:03:08,059 --> 00:03:06,090 with all this Cristal you see over the 79 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:08,069 past eight years nASA has awarded the 80 00:03:12,380 --> 00:03:10,410 Small Business administrators Cup to 81 00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:12,390 this Center that manages the most 82 00:03:17,809 --> 00:03:16,049 effective small business program to 2d 83 00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:17,819 center that has managed the most 84 00:03:21,740 --> 00:03:19,680 effective small business program the 85 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:21,750 award honors innovative practices that 86 00:03:25,729 --> 00:03:23,850 promote small business participation in 87 00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:25,739 a variety of NASA initiatives 88 00:03:30,650 --> 00:03:28,260 furthermore it recognizes significant 89 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:30,660 contributions to our agency's small 90 00:03:36,259 --> 00:03:34,290 business programs for five of the past 91 00:03:39,140 --> 00:03:36,269 eight years this award has been claimed 92 00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:39,150 by Marshall five of the past eight years 93 00:03:44,030 --> 00:03:41,760 that means you are the only one 94 00:03:46,220 --> 00:03:44,040 championship ring away from matching 95 00:03:49,729 --> 00:03:46,230 michael jordan chicago bulls with a 96 00:03:51,229 --> 00:03:49,739 three-peat glendale and so since we 97 00:03:53,150 --> 00:03:51,239 broke the precedent the unwritten 98 00:03:55,879 --> 00:03:53,160 written rule that a sinner couldn't win 99 00:03:57,259 --> 00:03:55,889 two years on the road and I don't know 100 00:03:59,629 --> 00:03:57,269 that we have a rule that says you can't 101 00:04:01,819 --> 00:03:59,639 win three years in a row so we don't 102 00:04:03,379 --> 00:04:01,829 have to worry about that Glen Delgado 103 00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:03,389 who is sitting here and who heads our 104 00:04:07,940 --> 00:04:05,609 office of small business programs came 105 00:04:09,650 --> 00:04:07,950 from Washington with me this morning to 106 00:04:11,479 --> 00:04:09,660 present the award to Todd the center 107 00:04:13,339 --> 00:04:11,489 director and a David Brock in his 108 00:04:16,370 --> 00:04:13,349 dedicated team of employees here at 109 00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:16,380 Marshall that made this happen David's 110 00:04:20,690 --> 00:04:18,239 leadership in supporting small business 111 00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:20,700 is second to none you often hear me 112 00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:22,320 refer to him and I said it just a little 113 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:23,940 while ago as a national treasure and 114 00:04:29,689 --> 00:04:27,210 that's because he is marshal leadership 115 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:29,699 at the top has remained noteworthy 116 00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:31,410 during my tenure as the NASA 117 00:04:35,930 --> 00:04:34,110 Administrator starting with Robert 118 00:04:38,809 --> 00:04:35,940 Lightfoot going to Patrick Sherman and 119 00:04:40,939 --> 00:04:38,819 now to Todd me but there has been one 120 00:04:42,559 --> 00:04:40,949 constant throughout all of these changes 121 00:04:46,339 --> 00:04:42,569 in leadership and that's been David 122 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:46,349 Brock in fiscal year 2015 Marshall 123 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:47,610 procurement dollars amounted to 124 00:04:53,659 --> 00:04:51,090 approximately 1.9 billion of this amount 125 00:04:57,379 --> 00:04:53,669 small businesses received 270 million 126 00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:57,389 indirect dollars and another 285 million 127 00:05:01,640 --> 00:04:58,800 through the prime contractor 128 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:01,650 subcontracting programs this included 129 00:05:06,260 --> 00:05:03,330 work that supported missions to other 130 00:05:08,659 --> 00:05:06,270 planets major human spaceflight programs 131 00:05:12,020 --> 00:05:08,669 and development of new technologies that 132 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:12,030 led to new discoveries in short we are 133 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:14,250 creating jobs and fueling economic 134 00:05:18,740 --> 00:05:16,410 growth here on earth at the very same 135 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:18,750 time we move closer to our goal of 136 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:20,849 sending American astronauts first to an 137 00:05:25,249 --> 00:05:23,610 asteroid and then on to Mars and that's 138 00:05:27,860 --> 00:05:25,259 something for which we can all be very 139 00:05:30,020 --> 00:05:27,870 very proud thank you all for joining us 140 00:05:31,460 --> 00:05:30,030 today and congratulations to the women 141 00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:31,470 and men of the Marshall Space Flight 142 00:05:35,870 --> 00:05:34,020 Center Huntsville and the broader North 143 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:35,880 Alabama community so I think with that 144 00:05:40,909 --> 00:05:37,770 I'm going to turn it back over and I 145 00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:40,919 think we'll get there administrator 146 00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:43,889 Bolden now we'll take questions from the 147 00:05:48,620 --> 00:05:46,440 reporters in the room please state your 148 00:05:50,540 --> 00:05:48,630 name and media affiliation and we'll go 149 00:06:03,390 --> 00:05:50,550 around the room anybody got a question 150 00:06:20,340 --> 00:06:18,270 I don't I look at it it's absolutely 151 00:06:24,060 --> 00:06:20,350 wrong because I don't consider Mars to 152 00:06:26,749 --> 00:06:24,070 be nowhere Mars is the most ambitious 153 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:26,759 destination that humanity has ever 154 00:06:32,090 --> 00:06:29,650 accepted and because President Obama has 155 00:06:35,070 --> 00:06:32,100 said that as the ultimate goal for NASA 156 00:06:37,170 --> 00:06:35,080 as early as 2010 when he went down to 157 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:37,180 the Kennedy spacer and and delivered you 158 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:38,650 all have gotten a customer hearing me 159 00:06:43,740 --> 00:06:40,810 now say it was what I consider to be a 160 00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:43,750 major space policy address not like John 161 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:46,000 Kennedy at Rice or before Congress when 162 00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:47,650 he said we're going to the moon but 163 00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:50,889 still not in no small way you know 164 00:06:54,689 --> 00:06:52,510 should be trip should be considered 165 00:06:58,050 --> 00:06:54,699 trivial he said two goals for us one was 166 00:06:59,180 --> 00:06:58,060 to put humans on asteroids by 2025 we're 167 00:07:01,350 --> 00:06:59,190 not doing it the way that people 168 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:01,360 classically think of going to the main 169 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:03,610 asteroid belt that's beyond Mars so 170 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:05,289 that's that's for another time but we 171 00:07:08,610 --> 00:07:07,090 still believe that with the asteroid 172 00:07:11,189 --> 00:07:08,620 redirect mission where we're intending 173 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:11,199 to redirect a large boulder from an 174 00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:13,690 asteroid to orbit around stable orbit 175 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:14,889 around the moon and then let our 176 00:07:19,710 --> 00:07:17,410 astronauts travel there on sls and orion 177 00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:19,720 that that we're going to fulfill the 178 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:22,030 intent of that challenge the second 179 00:07:26,339 --> 00:07:25,090 challenge was to put humans on Mars or 180 00:07:29,129 --> 00:07:26,349 in the Martian environment with the 181 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:29,139 intent of landing in the 2030s and we're 182 00:07:32,909 --> 00:07:31,210 well on the way to doing that if you 183 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:32,919 look at the plan that we have in place 184 00:07:37,129 --> 00:07:34,570 right now and people say yeah but you 185 00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:37,139 don't have a concrete plan yes we do 186 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:40,000 when you think about the way that that 187 00:07:45,779 --> 00:07:42,930 systems are developed you set a goal and 188 00:07:48,330 --> 00:07:45,789 then you walk back from that goal saying 189 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:48,340 what things do I need to do in order to 190 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:49,810 make that go and so the president told 191 00:07:55,950 --> 00:07:52,930 us Mars in 20 30 and we believe that by 192 00:07:59,490 --> 00:07:55,960 flying SLS and Orion integrated in 2018 193 00:08:01,020 --> 00:07:59,500 and then coming back and and in 2023 or 194 00:08:03,779 --> 00:08:01,030 maybe as early as twenty twenty-one 195 00:08:06,270 --> 00:08:03,789 depending on how our funding goes with 196 00:08:08,159 --> 00:08:06,280 the first crude flight and then spending 197 00:08:10,439 --> 00:08:08,169 about a ten year period of time and what 198 00:08:12,930 --> 00:08:10,449 we call the proving ground of the 199 00:08:15,180 --> 00:08:12,940 vicinity of the moon we're going to 200 00:08:16,890 --> 00:08:15,190 reach Mars in 20-30 so anybody who 201 00:08:19,170 --> 00:08:16,900 doesn't feel that Mars is 202 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:19,180 good destination or wants to consider it 203 00:08:24,510 --> 00:08:22,290 nowhere then I tell them have at it but 204 00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:24,520 anyone will tell you if we're going to 205 00:08:30,499 --> 00:08:26,889 put humans on any other planet it takes 206 00:08:38,490 --> 00:08:30,509 a lot of lift capability and that's SLS 207 00:08:39,959 --> 00:08:38,500 yeah yeah I really do any I get asked 208 00:08:42,930 --> 00:08:39,969 like one of the things I try to tell our 209 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:42,940 employees Lee is um you know you know 210 00:08:46,110 --> 00:08:44,890 what you do and you know how to do it we 211 00:08:49,230 --> 00:08:46,120 do it better than anybody else in the 212 00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:49,240 world I challenge anyone who can put up 213 00:08:55,260 --> 00:08:52,690 a space organization anywhere that can 214 00:08:57,900 --> 00:08:55,270 match what we do and that that goes for 215 00:08:59,910 --> 00:08:57,910 the national security apparatus and that 216 00:09:01,680 --> 00:08:59,920 may be a bold statement to make but they 217 00:09:04,199 --> 00:09:01,690 focus on one thing and that's national 218 00:09:05,579 --> 00:09:04,209 security when you look at NASA and what 219 00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:05,589 the what the National Aeronautics and 220 00:09:09,660 --> 00:09:07,630 Space Administration does you can look 221 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:09,670 across this room we're with you when you 222 00:09:14,730 --> 00:09:12,970 fly on airplanes we're doing innovation 223 00:09:18,180 --> 00:09:14,740 and technology development that goes 224 00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:18,190 across the planet to be quite honest we 225 00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:22,510 just released some some what do we call 226 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:25,990 these things no no no not cube sets but 227 00:09:31,710 --> 00:09:30,490 patents for availability of anybody that 228 00:09:34,170 --> 00:09:31,720 wants to take them and that's because 229 00:09:36,930 --> 00:09:34,180 NASA can do that because everything we 230 00:09:39,269 --> 00:09:36,940 do is in the public domain we very we 231 00:09:41,820 --> 00:09:39,279 don't do anything in house that's 232 00:09:44,010 --> 00:09:41,830 classified now sometimes because we're 233 00:09:45,990 --> 00:09:44,020 supporting other agencies that work is 234 00:09:48,030 --> 00:09:46,000 but that's there's NASA doesn't do 235 00:09:50,340 --> 00:09:48,040 anything that's not in the public domain 236 00:09:51,810 --> 00:09:50,350 and we do that better than any other 237 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:51,820 organization on the face of the planet 238 00:09:59,910 --> 00:09:56,290 today so Todd now we're talking about it 239 00:10:02,730 --> 00:09:59,920 I tell people just imagine you're the 240 00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:02,740 next president and you sit down in the 241 00:10:07,230 --> 00:10:04,720 Oval Office on day one you know you come 242 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:07,240 you finally get into the into the Oval 243 00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:09,610 Office after that long inauguration 244 00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:11,529 parade because you can't just go up to 245 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:13,870 the quarters and lay down and say boy 246 00:10:19,470 --> 00:10:15,730 what a day you're going to go sit at the 247 00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:19,480 desk and if you allow yourself to think 248 00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:22,510 that person him or her to think okay 249 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:24,310 what's going to happen everybody that 250 00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:25,450 talks about a hundred days what's going 251 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:27,670 to happen in my first turn if I don't do 252 00:10:34,570 --> 00:10:29,930 anything if I do absolutely nothing 253 00:10:37,660 --> 00:10:34,580 we are going to launch SLS and Orion we 254 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:37,670 are actually going to have to commercial 255 00:10:41,950 --> 00:10:39,890 providers carry a mass American 256 00:10:45,430 --> 00:10:41,960 astronauts from the Kennedy Space Center 257 00:10:46,690 --> 00:10:45,440 in the and the Cape Canaveral complex to 258 00:10:50,590 --> 00:10:46,700 the International Space Station 259 00:10:53,050 --> 00:10:50,600 unheralded never been done before Juno 260 00:10:56,079 --> 00:10:53,060 will have already entered Martian orbit 261 00:10:58,990 --> 00:10:56,089 entered Jupiter orbit we are going to 262 00:11:01,930 --> 00:10:59,000 land the Mars 2020 rover on the surface 263 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:01,940 of Mars that for the first time in human 264 00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:03,890 history or history that anybody knows 265 00:11:08,769 --> 00:11:06,560 we're going to intake some carbon 266 00:11:11,860 --> 00:11:08,779 dioxide from the atmosphere of Mars and 267 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:11,870 we're going to output oxygen and that 268 00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:13,610 means we are going to be able to produce 269 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:16,910 on the surface of another planet an 270 00:11:22,060 --> 00:11:19,610 element that can be used to propel 271 00:11:24,850 --> 00:11:22,070 vehicles that can be used to keep humans 272 00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:24,860 alive that is unprecedented and that's 273 00:11:30,070 --> 00:11:26,510 those are just a few things that the 274 00:11:33,250 --> 00:11:30,080 president can sit rock back fold his or 275 00:11:36,010 --> 00:11:33,260 her arms and say man I'm doing this 276 00:11:39,130 --> 00:11:36,020 stuff and in any president that doesn't 277 00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:39,140 take credit for it you know on day one 278 00:11:44,079 --> 00:11:42,110 because it's going to be his or hers so 279 00:11:45,610 --> 00:11:44,089 I think that when people look at the 280 00:11:46,930 --> 00:11:45,620 totality of what we've done over these 281 00:11:50,610 --> 00:11:46,940 years and that doesn't even mention 282 00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:50,620 explains in the field of aeronautics 283 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:53,390 again because of we're hoping that when 284 00:11:57,850 --> 00:11:55,970 when the Congress the House and Senate 285 00:11:59,320 --> 00:11:57,860 come together in conference we're going 286 00:12:01,269 --> 00:11:59,330 to get a pretty substantial increase in 287 00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:01,279 our aeronautics budget and that's going 288 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:03,200 to allow us to begin to build explains 289 00:12:08,140 --> 00:12:05,810 again something that the old NACA used 290 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:08,150 to do and and we kind of faded away from 291 00:12:11,949 --> 00:12:10,250 it when we started focusing really on 292 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:11,959 just human spaceflight but we're going 293 00:12:15,610 --> 00:12:13,130 to build explains we're going to build 294 00:12:17,019 --> 00:12:15,620 demonstrators that are going to keep the 295 00:12:18,850 --> 00:12:17,029 United States ahead of every other 296 00:12:26,489 --> 00:12:18,860 nation in aeronautics so I'm i feel 297 00:12:38,939 --> 00:12:34,949 yeah well nobody at Lockheed Martin his 298 00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:38,949 and this is not a snitty answer this is 299 00:12:43,889 --> 00:12:41,289 a NASA vehicle belongs to me right now 300 00:12:48,179 --> 00:12:43,899 and nobody there has talked to me about 301 00:12:50,699 --> 00:12:48,189 borrowing it you know in 2021 I just 302 00:12:52,409 --> 00:12:50,709 told you what we plan to do in 2018 303 00:12:54,029 --> 00:12:52,419 we're going to fly SLS and Orion and 304 00:12:56,209 --> 00:12:54,039 that's going to be an uncrewed mission 305 00:12:58,529 --> 00:12:56,219 and it's going to go out around the moon 306 00:13:01,019 --> 00:12:58,539 much in the form of what we did in the 307 00:13:03,539 --> 00:13:01,029 in the early Apollo program and then in 308 00:13:05,609 --> 00:13:03,549 2023 or 20 21 if everything works well 309 00:13:09,209 --> 00:13:05,619 we're going to have a NASA crew that's 310 00:13:10,919 --> 00:13:09,219 going to fly into space around the moon 311 00:13:13,139 --> 00:13:10,929 and that will be the beginning of what 312 00:13:15,149 --> 00:13:13,149 we call the proving ground period of 313 00:13:16,169 --> 00:13:15,159 time and that's really important there 314 00:13:18,149 --> 00:13:16,179 are a lot of people who believe that 315 00:13:20,909 --> 00:13:18,159 they can do things in certain periods of 316 00:13:22,949 --> 00:13:20,919 time we have a plan and that plan is 317 00:13:25,319 --> 00:13:22,959 backed up by funding from the Congress 318 00:13:27,239 --> 00:13:25,329 and it's backed up by agreement between 319 00:13:30,269 --> 00:13:27,249 the Congress and the administration that 320 00:13:31,859 --> 00:13:30,279 Mars is our goal is our ultimate goal we 321 00:13:34,379 --> 00:13:31,869 need our commercial partners to help us 322 00:13:37,589 --> 00:13:34,389 do that some of you know that we sign an 323 00:13:40,469 --> 00:13:37,599 agreement recently with SpaceX to help 324 00:13:42,419 --> 00:13:40,479 them in their attempt to get an uncrewed 325 00:13:45,269 --> 00:13:42,429 vehicle to Mars you know can they do it 326 00:13:48,479 --> 00:13:45,279 I don't know but am I am i hoping they 327 00:13:51,269 --> 00:13:48,489 can I sure do because at some point for 328 00:13:53,539 --> 00:13:51,279 us to land a human on Mars we're going 329 00:13:57,299 --> 00:13:53,549 to have to understand things like like 330 00:13:59,279 --> 00:13:57,309 supersonic retro propulsion somebody's 331 00:14:01,859 --> 00:13:59,289 going to have to test that if we can get 332 00:14:04,229 --> 00:14:01,869 a commercial partner to invest their 333 00:14:06,869 --> 00:14:04,239 money and do the test and we get the 334 00:14:10,349 --> 00:14:06,879 data I'm all-in you remember how we flew 335 00:14:12,239 --> 00:14:10,359 as Orion the first time because we had 336 00:14:14,699 --> 00:14:12,249 not bought the vehicle yet from Lockheed 337 00:14:17,159 --> 00:14:14,709 Martin they wanted to test it we agreed 338 00:14:21,239 --> 00:14:17,169 so we launched they contracted with 339 00:14:23,969 --> 00:14:21,249 themselves and and launched Orion on on 340 00:14:26,939 --> 00:14:23,979 a delta heavy and we got all that data 341 00:14:28,769 --> 00:14:26,949 so that's that's a series of tests that 342 00:14:31,349 --> 00:14:28,779 NASA did not have to do we were a 343 00:14:34,649 --> 00:14:31,359 partner with Lockheed Martin doing that 344 00:14:36,929 --> 00:14:34,659 test but I'm very satisfied with the 345 00:14:39,590 --> 00:14:36,939 work that the team is doing contractor 346 00:14:41,449 --> 00:14:39,600 and NASA and I can't speak to a contract 347 00:14:55,639 --> 00:14:41,459 plans for things that they're going to 348 00:14:57,379 --> 00:14:55,649 do down the road yeah yeah well i think 349 00:15:00,170 --> 00:14:57,389 i mentioned to you that when we go into 350 00:15:01,970 --> 00:15:00,180 con conference i should go back remember 351 00:15:04,430 --> 00:15:01,980 there are two houses of Congress there's 352 00:15:05,930 --> 00:15:04,440 the senate and there's the house now i'm 353 00:15:08,420 --> 00:15:05,940 getting in trouble here because i am not 354 00:15:11,749 --> 00:15:08,430 a legislative expert but I've learned a 355 00:15:15,860 --> 00:15:11,759 lot in my seven years and so both of 356 00:15:18,019 --> 00:15:15,870 them markup and as we always see the 357 00:15:20,749 --> 00:15:18,029 Senate has things they like the house 358 00:15:22,129 --> 00:15:20,759 has things they like and sometimes they 359 00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:22,139 play games with each other and that's 360 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:24,240 okay as long as in the end we get a 361 00:15:28,970 --> 00:15:26,250 stable program and that's what we've 362 00:15:30,410 --> 00:15:28,980 gotten from Congress pretty much routine 363 00:15:31,850 --> 00:15:30,420 Ian what what I think you're going to 364 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:31,860 see when they go into conference is 365 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:34,050 where the house put in significant 366 00:15:39,139 --> 00:15:35,850 increases for space technology and 367 00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:39,149 Aeronautics and planetary science and 368 00:15:43,850 --> 00:15:41,910 the Senate put in significant increases 369 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:43,860 for SLS and Orion when they come 370 00:15:47,870 --> 00:15:46,050 together in Congress it all evens out 371 00:15:49,730 --> 00:15:47,880 and we end up with significant increases 372 00:15:52,220 --> 00:15:49,740 across the board because the house 373 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:52,230 number if I remember correctly was 19 5 374 00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:56,370 and the Senate number was 19 3 so even 375 00:16:01,009 --> 00:15:58,290 if we get if they meet each other 376 00:16:03,079 --> 00:16:01,019 halfway and we get 19 for that's a 377 00:16:06,050 --> 00:16:03,089 that's a that's an increase in what we 378 00:16:19,550 --> 00:16:06,060 have 4 2016 so I'm the eternal optimist 379 00:16:44,850 --> 00:16:42,870 yeah yeah yeah well let me at the risk 380 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:44,860 of getting in trouble here Liz let me 381 00:16:49,889 --> 00:16:47,290 try to take you back there the big 382 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:49,899 difference is at the time that we came 383 00:16:56,430 --> 00:16:53,410 that I came into my office constellation 384 00:16:58,710 --> 00:16:56,440 had not flown and in fact constellation 385 00:17:00,570 --> 00:16:58,720 was still some of it was under 386 00:17:02,820 --> 00:17:00,580 construction not the heavy-lift launch 387 00:17:04,710 --> 00:17:02,830 vehicle we were we were we were 388 00:17:08,490 --> 00:17:04,720 beginning to build the components for 389 00:17:10,169 --> 00:17:08,500 Aries one but if you remember and i do 390 00:17:11,850 --> 00:17:10,179 because i was on the aerospace safety 391 00:17:14,189 --> 00:17:11,860 advisory panel we were running into 392 00:17:17,370 --> 00:17:14,199 significant problems design problems 393 00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:17,380 with Erie's one in the vehicle orion for 394 00:17:22,169 --> 00:17:19,600 the crew and ares one and a lot of 395 00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:22,179 vibration we were having and and it from 396 00:17:25,890 --> 00:17:24,160 a technical perspective you have a 397 00:17:28,439 --> 00:17:25,900 building here at Marshall by the way a 398 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:28,449 test a test structure where it has a 399 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:30,490 huge attenuator on it asked Todd to take 400 00:17:35,130 --> 00:17:32,530 you out there sometime and you will see 401 00:17:37,380 --> 00:17:35,140 the lengths to which we were going to 402 00:17:42,290 --> 00:17:37,390 try to solve this problem that we had 403 00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:42,300 with vibration in the Orion series 1 404 00:17:49,290 --> 00:17:47,130 matchup we you know so we decided I 405 00:17:51,419 --> 00:17:49,300 consulting with the president decided 406 00:17:53,310 --> 00:17:51,429 that it was just it was a bridge too far 407 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:53,320 to hope that we could bring the 408 00:17:57,930 --> 00:17:54,850 constellation program from where it was 409 00:17:59,580 --> 00:17:57,940 to an operational programme and so we 410 00:18:02,280 --> 00:17:59,590 said okay let's stop where we are and 411 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:02,290 it's counter cut our losses that's press 412 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:04,210 with a couple of things let's phase out 413 00:18:08,730 --> 00:18:06,970 of the shuttle over a reasonable period 414 00:18:10,770 --> 00:18:08,740 of time and let's put some investment in 415 00:18:12,540 --> 00:18:10,780 the commercial space in addition to 416 00:18:14,210 --> 00:18:12,550 cargo let's let's get an American 417 00:18:16,350 --> 00:18:14,220 capability to launch cruise in 418 00:18:18,330 --> 00:18:16,360 commercially and so that's what we 419 00:18:20,430 --> 00:18:18,340 undertook and as I said when I was out 420 00:18:22,820 --> 00:18:20,440 at the National Space symposium who 421 00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:22,830 would have ever thought five years ago 422 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:25,840 that we'd be standing here today I'd be 423 00:18:29,020 --> 00:18:28,330 talking to you and we would have SpaceX 424 00:18:31,660 --> 00:18:29,030 and 425 00:18:33,310 --> 00:18:31,670 ATK as the prime providers for 426 00:18:34,750 --> 00:18:33,320 transportation of cargo to the 427 00:18:36,580 --> 00:18:34,760 International Space Station who would 428 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:36,590 have ever thought that who would have 429 00:18:40,810 --> 00:18:38,450 ever thought that we'd be a year year 430 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:40,820 and a half away from having SpaceX and 431 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:45,490 Boeing actually launched to two column 432 00:18:51,850 --> 00:18:48,410 distinctly different crew vehicles from 433 00:18:53,860 --> 00:18:51,860 the space Cole's first uncrewed but then 434 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:53,870 the second flight with American 435 00:18:57,820 --> 00:18:56,450 astronauts eventually getting to the 436 00:19:00,370 --> 00:18:57,830 International Space Station we should 437 00:19:02,050 --> 00:19:00,380 have that operational in 2018 so that's 438 00:19:04,060 --> 00:19:02,060 less than two years away who would have 439 00:19:06,850 --> 00:19:04,070 ever dreamed that I mean it was it was 440 00:19:09,070 --> 00:19:06,860 folly five years ago too many people 441 00:19:11,650 --> 00:19:09,080 outside of NASA but we as I said earlier 442 00:19:14,380 --> 00:19:11,660 we had faith in industry we had faith in 443 00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:14,390 small business we had smade's faith and 444 00:19:18,310 --> 00:19:15,710 our partners who had helped us build 445 00:19:20,770 --> 00:19:18,320 every spacecraft up until now and 446 00:19:22,150 --> 00:19:20,780 continue to do it and so we were we were 447 00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:22,160 confident we could do that we had 448 00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:24,320 confidence that we could design and 449 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:26,590 build a heavy-lift launch vehicle and 450 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:29,090 you can talk to anybody you want no 451 00:19:32,740 --> 00:19:30,530 matter who it is that's going to Mars 452 00:19:35,020 --> 00:19:32,750 and ask them what's it going to take to 453 00:19:36,250 --> 00:19:35,030 get humans on the planet and they're 454 00:19:38,350 --> 00:19:36,260 going to take it's going to take a lot 455 00:19:40,450 --> 00:19:38,360 of lift and it's got to take a lot of 456 00:19:43,900 --> 00:19:40,460 stuff and it's going to take something 457 00:19:46,270 --> 00:19:43,910 like SLS or a lot of littler things than 458 00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:46,280 SLS and and that's how we got to this 459 00:19:49,810 --> 00:19:48,230 design it's going to take off multiple 460 00:19:53,530 --> 00:19:49,820 launches of this vehicle to put humans 461 00:19:56,710 --> 00:19:53,540 on Mars but we went for not the perfect 462 00:19:58,540 --> 00:19:56,720 vehicle but the optimal vehicle 463 00:20:00,850 --> 00:19:58,550 considering where our technology was 464 00:20:03,340 --> 00:20:00,860 today but making it adaptable to 465 00:20:06,940 --> 00:20:03,350 emerging technologies so you know what 466 00:20:09,370 --> 00:20:06,950 we take to Mars with human will not even 467 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:09,380 have solid rocket boosters that we 468 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:12,050 haven't even gotten to to the selection 469 00:20:17,710 --> 00:20:14,570 of the advanced booster yet that could 470 00:20:20,740 --> 00:20:17,720 be a liquid booster who knows but we're 471 00:20:22,390 --> 00:20:20,750 taking it one step at a time it's a 472 00:20:24,850 --> 00:20:22,400 step-by-step progression and we'll get 473 00:20:27,190 --> 00:20:24,860 there and that's not being the eternal 474 00:20:29,830 --> 00:20:27,200 optimist that's just that's just the the 475 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:29,840 the fledgling wanted to be engineer in 476 00:20:34,510 --> 00:20:31,930 me that says you got to do all the stuff 477 00:20:37,870 --> 00:20:34,520 it's a I think it's a protected program 478 00:20:39,730 --> 00:20:37,880 it is protected because the Congress you 479 00:20:42,820 --> 00:20:39,740 know in our system of government the 480 00:20:47,610 --> 00:20:42,830 president proposes and the Congress 481 00:20:50,230 --> 00:20:47,620 disposes Congress roundly opposed 482 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:50,240 termination of constellation but what 483 00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:52,490 President Obama allowed us to do was 484 00:20:56,019 --> 00:20:53,929 come back to the Congress and the nation 485 00:20:58,870 --> 00:20:56,029 and say okay we're not going to do 486 00:21:02,169 --> 00:20:58,880 constellation but we are still focused 487 00:21:04,029 --> 00:21:02,179 on deep space exploration and we're 488 00:21:07,450 --> 00:21:04,039 going to go back I always say we're 489 00:21:10,779 --> 00:21:07,460 going back to the future STS the space 490 00:21:13,509 --> 00:21:10,789 transportation system that was presented 491 00:21:15,759 --> 00:21:13,519 to President Nixon back in the late 60s 492 00:21:18,190 --> 00:21:15,769 actually and probably talked a little 493 00:21:20,769 --> 00:21:18,200 bit to presidents before that but the 494 00:21:23,409 --> 00:21:20,779 STS the space transportation system was 495 00:21:25,870 --> 00:21:23,419 designed to do three things provide 496 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:25,880 routine access to low-earth orbit to get 497 00:21:30,909 --> 00:21:28,490 to an orbiting space station one or more 498 00:21:32,590 --> 00:21:30,919 that we could use to build rockets and 499 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:32,600 build telescopes and do other stuff and 500 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:35,330 do science that would enable us to use a 501 00:21:41,289 --> 00:21:38,450 subsequent transfer vehicle that would 502 00:21:43,690 --> 00:21:41,299 take us from Earth orbit to lunar orbit 503 00:21:46,659 --> 00:21:43,700 and eventually out to Mars that was the 504 00:21:48,789 --> 00:21:46,669 space transportation system and you know 505 00:21:50,860 --> 00:21:48,799 we when you're given a limited amount of 506 00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:50,870 money you say what do we need first we 507 00:21:55,389 --> 00:21:52,880 need shuttle so let's build a shuttle 508 00:21:58,210 --> 00:21:55,399 and let's make it good and we flew it 509 00:22:01,060 --> 00:21:58,220 for 30 absolutely incredible years so 510 00:22:03,730 --> 00:22:01,070 that's that's why I'm I think it's a 511 00:22:06,730 --> 00:22:03,740 protected program because we are way 512 00:22:08,710 --> 00:22:06,740 farther down the road today then we ever 513 00:22:11,169 --> 00:22:08,720 would have been with constellation if 514 00:22:13,870 --> 00:22:11,179 you go to miss you we're building barrel 515 00:22:17,649 --> 00:22:13,880 sections we're assembling a vehicle we 516 00:22:18,909 --> 00:22:17,659 have tested we have flown Orion it's not 517 00:22:20,590 --> 00:22:18,919 something that we're talking about 518 00:22:23,110 --> 00:22:20,600 pulling off the drawing board it has 519 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:23,120 been father in space than any other 520 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:25,250 vehicle intended to carry humans had 521 00:22:31,570 --> 00:22:28,570 been at a time ated flew two years ago 522 00:22:32,860 --> 00:22:31,580 you know that's just that's just an 523 00:22:34,779 --> 00:22:32,870 accomplishment i'm not talking about 524 00:22:36,460 --> 00:22:34,789 things i'm dreaming about i'm talking 525 00:23:10,620 --> 00:22:36,470 about the accomplishments oh yeah i 526 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:14,530 no I can tell you that won't happen you 527 00:23:19,180 --> 00:23:16,850 know it what the only thing that could 528 00:23:21,730 --> 00:23:19,190 happen that would require any future 529 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:21,740 administrator they have to write many 530 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:23,810 more checks to the Russians and six is 531 00:23:29,620 --> 00:23:25,970 out of the question would be for 532 00:23:32,530 --> 00:23:29,630 commercial crew to completely fail which 533 00:23:34,570 --> 00:23:32,540 I just I don't see that happening with 534 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:34,580 American industry I you know American 535 00:23:39,550 --> 00:23:36,290 industry would have to say okay it was a 536 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:39,560 good try we quit that that's what it 537 00:23:47,470 --> 00:23:42,010 would take we quit you have already seen 538 00:23:50,130 --> 00:23:47,480 SpaceX and orbital ATK suffer a failure 539 00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:50,140 each of them with commercial cargo a 540 00:23:54,990 --> 00:23:52,310 lesser group of people would have said 541 00:23:59,170 --> 00:23:55,000 that's enough we quit this is hard 542 00:24:00,670 --> 00:23:59,180 SpaceX got to work and they have now 543 00:24:03,340 --> 00:24:00,680 reef lone their vehicle a number of 544 00:24:06,060 --> 00:24:03,350 times have also come back and landed on 545 00:24:10,510 --> 00:24:06,070 a barge and landed on land demonstrating 546 00:24:12,670 --> 00:24:10,520 reusable technology orbital ATK did 547 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:12,680 something else that we bragged about and 548 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:14,930 that was they showed that their 549 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:16,610 obligation and NASA was to provide a 550 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:19,490 service they knew that they did not have 551 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:21,650 a launch vehicle until they got a new 552 00:24:25,990 --> 00:24:24,650 engine and and got their vehicle 553 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:26,000 straight but they went to another 554 00:24:32,350 --> 00:24:29,930 provider to ula and used the Atlas 5 and 555 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:32,360 we have flown tues highly successful 556 00:24:38,260 --> 00:24:36,170 missions on an upgraded Cygnus it was by 557 00:24:40,090 --> 00:24:38,270 going to the Atlas 5 for two flights 558 00:24:44,140 --> 00:24:40,100 they were able to upgrade the Cygnus and 559 00:24:46,660 --> 00:24:44,150 send more cargo mass to orbit than we 560 00:24:48,910 --> 00:24:46,670 had ever done before and so they've 561 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:48,920 demonstrated resilience they've 562 00:24:54,940 --> 00:24:50,690 demonstrated the validity of our 563 00:24:56,980 --> 00:24:54,950 proposal that we have redundant you know 564 00:24:58,419 --> 00:24:56,990 reliance on industry to provide a 565 00:25:01,029 --> 00:24:58,429 service not 566 00:25:02,499 --> 00:25:01,039 vehicle so you know they they went out 567 00:25:14,230 --> 00:25:02,509 and got a little bit different vehicle 568 00:25:17,889 --> 00:25:14,240 than we originally were flying you know 569 00:25:20,950 --> 00:25:17,899 I we may have signed another contract to 570 00:25:22,989 --> 00:25:20,960 to take care of 2019 if we went into 571 00:25:24,909 --> 00:25:22,999 that but the way that the Commercial 572 00:25:28,239 --> 00:25:24,919 Crew program works is that once we're 573 00:25:30,999 --> 00:25:28,249 flying on an american-built spacecraft 574 00:25:33,310 --> 00:25:31,009 we will continue to use sai youths and 575 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:33,320 the but the Russians will begin to fly 576 00:25:36,970 --> 00:25:35,090 on our spacecraft and then we go into 577 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:36,980 the same arranged arrangement we have 578 00:25:40,930 --> 00:25:38,210 with all of our international partners 579 00:25:44,379 --> 00:25:40,940 and there's no exchange of funds so it's 580 00:25:47,710 --> 00:25:44,389 a there's a word for it it's not quid 581 00:25:50,379 --> 00:25:47,720 pro quo it's don't even think about it 582 00:25:52,330 --> 00:25:50,389 there's no exchange of fun so so I think 583 00:25:54,159 --> 00:25:52,340 that's probably the last contract that 584 00:25:57,330 --> 00:25:54,169 you're going to see anybody sign for a 585 00:25:59,830 --> 00:25:57,340 ace i use vehicle for a crew because 586 00:26:05,710 --> 00:25:59,840 when we fly on each other's vehicles 587 00:26:08,710 --> 00:26:05,720 it'll just be you know one for one I do 588 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:08,720 not but we can we can try to find it for 589 00:26:35,740 --> 00:26:33,669 I could but I'm gonna call on Todd in 590 00:26:39,129 --> 00:26:35,750 fact I'm gonna call on Todd and and 591 00:26:42,580 --> 00:26:39,139 David Brock because this is their show 592 00:26:44,350 --> 00:26:42,590 their trophy and and it would be you 593 00:26:45,970 --> 00:26:44,360 know presumptuous of me to try to tell 594 00:26:54,909 --> 00:26:45,980 you about local business when I've got 595 00:26:57,970 --> 00:26:54,919 the two pros here who can talk about so 596 00:27:00,430 --> 00:26:57,980 I'll say a few words here you heard 597 00:27:02,169 --> 00:27:00,440 Charlie say it earlier that the small 598 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:02,179 business is the backbone of American 599 00:27:06,639 --> 00:27:04,850 economy but you know we're building the 600
