00:00:48,869 --> 00:00:47,200
that will compete to develop the vehicle

24
00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:48,879
to return humans to the moon

25
00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:51,760
for artists one nasa announced that

26
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:54,000
solar cruiser mission will send an 18

000 square foot solar sail into space to

28
00:01:01,189 --> 00:00:58,399
demonstrate the propulsion technology

29
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:01,199
for scientific discovery

30
00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:03,840
