00:09:18,399 you some of my experiences but i want to 221 00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:19,279 prompt 222 00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:22,640 from mine the things that could happen 223 00:09:26,389 -->

--> 00:09:29,839 happened on the way to the space station 227 00:09:32,389 --> 00:09:30,640 because 228 00:09:34,070 --> 00:09:32,399 uh it doesn't end up like you might 229 00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:34,080 think even though i was selected to be 230 00:09:36,230 --> 00:09:34,480 an 231 00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:36,240 astronaut there were a lot of things 232 00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:37,600 that transpired that 233 00:09:40,949 --> 00:09:39,360 i wouldn't have expected and that's 234 00:09:42,470 --> 00:09:40,959 something you should anticipate too in 235 00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:42,480 your careers 236 00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:44,640 you will enjoy a lot of the things that 237 00:09:49,030 --> 00:09:45,760 my generation 238 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:49,040 prepared for your generation and uh 239 00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:50,640 you know the future of exploration with 240 00:09:53,910 --> 00:09:52,080 the space launch system the orion 241 00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:53,920 capsule going back to the moon onto mars 242 00:09:56,790 --> 00:09:54,720 it's all 243 00:09:58,230 --> 00:09:56,800 available for your generation i'm really 244 00:10:00,550 --> 00:09:58,240 even envious of you 245 00:10:02,150 --> 00:10:00,560 uh to be starting your careers with such 246 00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:02,160 an exciting future 247 00:10:05,269 --> 00:10:04,880 so uh if we go ahead and and kick this 248 00:10:08,550 --> 00:10:05,279 off 249 00:10:10,150 --> 00:10:08,560 uh i have a photograph that i like to 250 00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:10,160 put into context 251 00:10:13,430 --> 00:10:12,480 most of my career i went to the air 252 00:10:15,190 --> 00:10:13,440 force academy 253 00:10:17,990 --> 00:10:15,200 and pursued a degree in aeronautical 254 00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:18,000 engineering and then 255 00:10:22,389 --> 00:10:20,320 went on to fly f-15s and in the top of 256 00:10:24,389 --> 00:10:22,399 the picture there you see an f-15 on the 257 00:10:27,110 --> 00:10:24,399 wing of what was in the day 258 00:10:29,030 --> 00:10:27,120 a russian bear bomber and just in the 259 00:10:30,470 --> 00:10:29,040 inside below that is a photo i took of 260 00:10:32,230 --> 00:10:30,480 the tail gunner 261 00:10:33,670 --> 00:10:32,240 because i had to intercept those uh 262 00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:33,680 bombers over the 263 00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:36,000 the north sea when i was stationed in 264 00:10:39,430 --> 00:10:36,880 germany 265 00:10:41,110 --> 00:10:39,440 uh many times and fly right up on the 266 00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:41,120 tail of that aircraft 267 00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:43,200 and over on the left is a flogger a 268 00:10:47,030 --> 00:10:44,800 mig-23 269 00:10:49,030 --> 00:10:47,040 that was also on the east side of the 270 00:10:50,630 --> 00:10:49,040 german border at the time 271 00:10:53,350 --> 00:10:50,640 back in the days of the soviet union in 272 00:10:55,590 --> 00:10:53,360 the cold war i flew f-15s in germany 273 00:10:56,550 --> 00:10:55,600 to protect the western german border 274 00:10:58,470 --> 00:10:56,560 from the east 275 00:11:00,949 --> 00:10:58,480 and would often see airplanes like that 276 00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:00,959 in the sky below and behold one of the 277 00:11:05,269 --> 00:11:03,120 pilots in that airplane 278 00:11:07,910 --> 00:11:05,279 uh was an individual that became a very 279 00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:07,920 good friend vasily subleave 280 00:11:11,350 --> 00:11:09,920 he became eventually the chief of the 281 00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:11,360 cosmonaut corps 282 00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:13,120 when i was the chief of the astronaut 283 00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:14,800 court nasa in houston 284 00:11:19,430 --> 00:11:17,040 and that picture in the blower center is 285 00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:19,440 a handshake between vasily and i when i 286 00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:20,720 got to dock 287 00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:23,440 the space shuttle atlantis with the 288 00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:24,640 mayor 289 00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:26,640 after they had had a fire and a 290 00:11:32,310 --> 00:11:29,040 collision of a vehicle on board 291 00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:32,320 that was a very very strenuous time for 292 00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:34,720 for the cosmonauts and uh was just a 293 00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:35,760 very 294 00:11:39,670 --> 00:11:37,839 tight partnership that we had with them 295 00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:39,680 and it was just kind of a miracle for me 296 00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:40,160 to 297 00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:42,160 imagine that having grown up in the cold 298 00:11:45,590 --> 00:11:43,519 war 299 00:11:47,509 --> 00:11:45,600 one of the funny things of this story is 300 00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:47,519 that we actually saw the cold war end 301 00:11:52,230 --> 00:11:49,360 and that we were collaborating with 302 00:11:53,829 --> 00:11:52,240 pilots and cosmonauts who were once 303 00:11:55,990 --> 00:11:53,839 considered our enemies 304 00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:56,000 so you just never know where as they say 305 00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:57,519 life's a box of chocolates where the 306 00:11:59,670 --> 00:11:58,800 road's gonna take you but what an 307 00:12:03,350 --> 00:11:59,680 exciting 308 00:12:06,949 --> 00:12:05,590 in this next photograph here this is the 309 00:12:10,150 --> 00:12:06,959 space shuttle as it sat 310 00:12:13,269 --> 00:12:10,160 on the launch pad the vehicle uh 311 00:12:15,829 --> 00:12:13,279 weighs somewhere near seven million 312 00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:15,839 five million pounds but produces nearly 313 00:12:21,110 --> 00:12:17,680 seven million pounds of thrust 314 00:12:23,910 --> 00:12:21,120 by comparison the future sls vehicle 315 00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:23,920 will be seven million pounds producing 316 00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:25,839 nine million pounds of thrust 317 00:12:29,030 --> 00:12:27,440 so it's an immense amount of energy and 318 00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:29,040 a lot of capability 319 00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:31,440 in the next photograph is a one of my 320 00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:32,480 launches the four 321 00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:35,519 that i was privileged to be part of 322 00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:38,079 when i was a commander of sts-84 a very 323 00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:39,920 international crew eileen collins was 324 00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:40,720 the pilot 325 00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:43,040 i was the commander and we have a 326 00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:44,399 russian woman on the crew 327 00:12:48,310 --> 00:12:47,040 an american astronaut of british descent 328 00:12:51,590 --> 00:12:48,320 a french astronaut 329 00:12:52,069 --> 00:12:51,600 and a american astronaut of chinese 330 00:12:53,430 --> 00:12:52,079 descent 331 00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:53,440 and another american astronaut of 332 00:12:56,150 --> 00:12:55,360 peruvian descent so quite an 333 00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:56,160 international 334 00:13:00,389 --> 00:12:58,320 flavor in that crew and this was the 335 00:13:02,310 --> 00:13:00,399 flight that we went to visit vasily his 336 00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:02,320 crew was already on board 337 00:13:06,069 --> 00:13:03,920 and we were going to leave mike foale on 338 00:13:09,269 --> 00:13:06,079 board and bring jerry lenninger 339 00:13:10,949 --> 00:13:09,279 home on that particular flight um 340 00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:10,959 this is our approach to the mir space 341 00:13:13,430 --> 00:13:12,720 station today's international space 342 00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:13,440 station 343 00:13:18,389 --> 00:13:16,560 is immense by comparison but this served 344 00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:18,399 as a test bed for us to build the 345 00:13:24,069 --> 00:13:20,560 international space station 346 00:13:26,069 --> 00:13:24,079 back in the in the 90s and we finished 347 00:13:28,069 --> 00:13:26,079 seven missions to go to the mirror i was 348 00:13:29,990 --> 00:13:28,079 lucky enough to be on three of them 349 00:13:34,470 --> 00:13:30,000 and this is a view of the the mirror as 350 00:13:37,590 --> 00:13:34,480 we approached it for docking 351 00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:37,600 um this is a view that vasily had as i 352 00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:38,880 approached for docking 353 00:13:42,710 --> 00:13:41,440 where you can see just behind the ford 354 00:13:44,710 --> 00:13:42,720 bulkhead of the opened 355 00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:44,720 payload bay is a docking port just 356 00:13:49,189 --> 00:13:46,560 behind the two windows on the roof 357 00:13:49,590 --> 00:13:49,199 of the forward cockpit area that docking 358 00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:49,600 port 359 00:13:53,269 --> 00:13:51,839 i am flying towards the mir space 360 00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:53,279 station to connect 361 00:13:57,189 --> 00:13:55,760 and that whole virtual part of the uh 362 00:13:58,470 --> 00:13:57,199 virtually that whole part of the flight 363 00:14:00,470 --> 00:13:58,480 is done manually 364 00:14:01,990 --> 00:14:00,480 uh with the crew on the flight deck 365 00:14:05,430 --> 00:14:02,000 flying the space shuttle up to the 366 00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:05,440 station once we're 367 00:14:08,949 --> 00:14:07,600 on board we take pictures like this 368 00:14:10,790 --> 00:14:08,959 because we can 369 00:14:12,389 --> 00:14:10,800 this was the very first docking with the 370 00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:12,399 mir there are 10 of us 371 00:14:15,990 --> 00:14:14,000 on board there and what's neat to 372 00:14:17,110 --> 00:14:16,000 observe is how we all hold ourselves in 373 00:14:19,110 --> 00:14:17,120 position 374 00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:19,120 anatoly sylvia in the purple shirt with 375 00:14:23,509 --> 00:14:21,440 his arms crossed has his feet under the 376 00:14:25,110 --> 00:14:23,519 handlebar on the on the right hand side 377 00:14:26,629 --> 00:14:25,120 of the image and everybody has 378 00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:26,639 themselves braced in some way so they 379 00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:28,399 don't drift off 380 00:14:33,030 --> 00:14:30,880 for the photograph a lot of fun to do 381 00:14:34,550 --> 00:14:33,040 that kind of thing in zero gravity 382 00:14:36,550 --> 00:14:34,560 one of the most interesting things about 383 00:14:38,550 --> 00:14:36,560 the mir program was that it was a 384 00:14:42,230 --> 00:14:38,560 political agreement between 385 00:14:44,790 --> 00:14:42,240 the united states and russia and senior 386 00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:44,800 president bush and at the time russian 387 00:14:48,069 --> 00:14:46,320 president yeltsin agreed to put an 388 00:14:49,670 --> 00:14:48,079 astronaut on amir and to fly two 389 00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:49,680 cosmonauts on shuttle 390 00:14:53,670 --> 00:14:52,160 and this was uh the crew of the first 391 00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:53,680 docking mission who gibson is the 392 00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:55,279 commander and i was the pilot we went to 393 00:14:58,870 --> 00:14:56,560 visit 394 00:15:01,110 --> 00:14:58,880 president clinton after the mission and 395 00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:01,120 brought the cosmonauts with us 396 00:15:07,430 --> 00:15:04,320 to celebrate that first mission um 397 00:15:09,110 --> 00:15:07,440 we were funding part of the program so 398 00:15:11,829 --> 00:15:09,120 that we could collaborate to create the 399 00:15:14,230 --> 00:15:11,839 international space station with russia 400 00:15:15,829 --> 00:15:14,240 and it was very important to keep 401 00:15:17,269 --> 00:15:15,839 the russian engineers from sharing 402 00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:17,279 secrets with 403 00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:19,600 the irans and libyas of the world and we 404 00:15:22,310 --> 00:15:20,320 had a 405 00:15:23,670 --> 00:15:22,320 piece in the program that would have us 406 00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:23,680 collaborating instead of 407 00:15:27,670 --> 00:15:26,160 competing in the political world so it 408 00:15:32,470 --> 00:15:27,680 was an important program to the 409 00:15:39,030 --> 00:15:35,910 later as we went into the 410 00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:39,040 program with the mir program there had 411 00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:39,440 been 412 00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:42,160 issues with the stability of the systems 413 00:15:45,269 --> 00:15:43,519 on board the mir 414 00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:45,279 and virtually everything that you would 415 00:15:49,110 --> 00:15:47,040 not want to have happen to you 416 00:15:50,470 --> 00:15:49,120 depressurization a fire broke out on 417 00:15:54,470 --> 00:15:50,480 board a collision with an 418 00:15:56,310 --> 00:15:54,480 oncoming unpiloted uncrewed cargo ship 419 00:15:59,990 --> 00:15:56,320 all happened to the mirror during these 420 00:16:02,790 --> 00:16:00,000 seven flights so in april 97 421 00:16:03,509 --> 00:16:02,800 commander sublime attempted to remotely 422 00:16:07,110 --> 00:16:03,519 dock 423 00:16:08,870 --> 00:16:07,120 the progress but it had too much closure 424 00:16:12,069 --> 00:16:08,880 and he was unable to stop it and it 425 00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:12,079 caused a collision and and so 426 00:16:15,430 --> 00:16:14,480 we were there to help with repairs and 427 00:16:17,430 --> 00:16:15,440 equipment 428 00:16:23,590 --> 00:16:17,440 and to bring mike follow up to replace 429 00:16:26,470 --> 00:16:23,600 terry linninger 430 00:16:27,509 --> 00:16:26,480 this is a view of what that remotely 431 00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:27,519 piloted 432 00:16:31,829 --> 00:16:30,240 uncrewed progress ship would look like 433 00:16:32,790 --> 00:16:31,839 if you were sitting in the space station 434 00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:32,800 that is 435 00:16:39,110 --> 00:16:36,160 like a a robotic 436 00:16:40,790 --> 00:16:39,120 piloted vehicle much like you might fly 437 00:16:42,550 --> 00:16:40,800 a drone today the crew on board the 438 00:16:44,230 --> 00:16:42,560 space station was trying to fly it from 439 00:16:46,629 --> 00:16:44,240 the station to bring it in 440 00:16:48,069 --> 00:16:46,639 it just had too much energy this was a 441 00:16:49,189 --> 00:16:48,079 photograph we took during one of our 442 00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:49,199 shuttle flights where 443 00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:52,079 one was in proximity and so you can see 444 00:17:02,710 --> 00:17:00,389 during the collision event that happened 445 00:17:05,429 --> 00:17:02,720 you can see in this next photograph 446 00:17:06,230 --> 00:17:05,439 you can see how the vehicle actually 447 00:17:09,350 --> 00:17:06,240 came in and 448 00:17:09,909 --> 00:17:09,360 made contact with one of the solar 449 00:17:12,870 --> 00:17:09,919 arrays 450 00:17:13,669 --> 00:17:12,880 and then deflected off of another module 451 00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:13,679 and then 452 00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:17,280 veered off into space and it punctured 453 00:17:20,470 --> 00:17:19,600 the vessel to where they were starting 454 00:17:23,029 --> 00:17:20,480 to lose 455 00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:23,039 atmospheric pressure and the crew almost 456 00:17:26,949 --> 00:17:25,280 had to evacuate the space station 457 00:17:28,549 --> 00:17:26,959 but they managed to seal off that 458 00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:28,559 leaking module from the rest of the 459 00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:29,600 station 460 00:17:33,909 --> 00:17:32,080 and for the rest of the program we 461 00:17:35,669 --> 00:17:33,919 attempted to help them recover from that 462 00:17:37,110 --> 00:17:35,679 failure and to bring that module back to 463 00:17:39,909 --> 00:17:37,120 life unfortunately that 464 00:17:41,190 --> 00:17:39,919 module ended up being sealed uh for the 465 00:17:43,909 --> 00:17:41,200 duration of the program 466 00:17:44,390 --> 00:17:43,919 now the reason i share these with you is 467 00:17:47,350 --> 00:17:44,400 that 468 00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:47,360 the good learning these were you know 469 00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:48,720 events that you would never want to have 470 00:17:51,669 --> 00:17:50,240 happen to you a fire breaking out on 471 00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:51,679 board a collision a loss of 472 00:17:54,789 --> 00:17:53,120 pressurization 473 00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:54,799 but because they happened and we were 474 00:17:59,110 --> 00:17:57,120 able to work around them and 475 00:18:00,870 --> 00:17:59,120 recover from them we made the 476 00:18:01,430 --> 00:18:00,880 international space station design much 477 00:18:04,789 --> 00:18:01,440 more 478 00:18:07,830 --> 00:18:04,799 sustaining 479 00:18:09,430 --> 00:18:07,840 uh injury if you will and so the space 480 00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:09,440 station program has been successful for 481 00:18:13,590 --> 00:18:11,600 many years now based on the lessons we 482 00:18:15,510 --> 00:18:13,600 learned in this program 483 00:18:17,110 --> 00:18:15,520 and uh and part of what i'm telling you 484 00:18:19,110 --> 00:18:17,120 today as you go and become 485 00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:19,120 part of our new program in the future to 486 00:18:22,230 --> 00:18:20,640 go back to the moon and on to mars is 487 00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:22,240 the lessons we've learned 488 00:18:26,070 --> 00:18:24,400 you will inherit and take those lessons 489 00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:26,080 into your designs into your 490 00:18:32,070 --> 00:18:28,320 operations if you will of our 491 00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:34,150 so this was kind of a a really great 492 00:18:37,669 --> 00:18:35,280 moment for me 493 00:18:38,950 --> 00:18:37,679 it was after we got docked my friend 494 00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:38,960 vasily sableev 495 00:18:43,669 --> 00:18:42,000 later after this this flight he and i 496 00:18:45,590 --> 00:18:43,679 would become respectively the chief 497 00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:45,600 astronaut and the chief cosmonaut and we 498 00:18:49,750 --> 00:18:46,640 worked together 499 00:18:53,190 --> 00:18:49,760 selecting crews to become 500 00:18:55,430 --> 00:18:53,200 the crews who would fly the early space 501 00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:55,440 station flights for the iss 502 00:18:58,870 --> 00:18:58,320 and this was uh after we docked uh we 503 00:19:01,110 --> 00:18:58,880 had a 504 00:19:03,270 --> 00:19:01,120 dinner together with the crew shared 505 00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:03,280 some photographs and some gifts and 506 00:19:11,510 --> 00:19:09,750 and of course with the uh with the space 507 00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:11,520 shuttle it flies like a 508 00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:13,760 rocket as it leaves the launch pad it 509 00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:16,160 flies like a spaceship in space 510 00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:17,600 and it doesn't really fly like an 511 00:19:20,310 --> 00:19:19,440 airplane until the last two or three 512 00:19:22,150 --> 00:19:20,320 minutes 513 00:19:24,070 --> 00:19:22,160 when it's in the lower atmosphere and 514 00:19:26,390 --> 00:19:24,080 has a wing to put us down 515 00:19:28,390 --> 00:19:26,400 gently on the runway a picture of my 516 00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:28,400 landing here at kennedy space center 517 00:19:33,909 --> 00:19:30,880 a great machine one that we learned a 518 00:19:36,950 --> 00:19:35,430 so let me take you now into what we're 519 00:19:39,350 --> 00:19:36,960 doing in the future 520 00:19:41,110 --> 00:19:39,360 and we are on the verge of launching the 521 00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:41,120 space launch system 522 00:19:44,470 --> 00:19:42,480 we're privileged here at northrop 523 00:19:45,590 --> 00:19:44,480 grumman to be the provider of both the 524 00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:45,600 boosters 525 00:19:50,549 --> 00:19:48,080 and the launch abort system on the top 526 00:19:51,909 --> 00:19:50,559 of the orion spacecraft 527 00:19:54,070 --> 00:19:51,919 so here's a little update of what we're 528 00:19:55,510 --> 00:19:54,080 doing we are returning to the moon but 529 00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:55,520 we're returning to stay 530 00:19:59,110 --> 00:19:58,240 i think of it as um equivalent to 531 00:20:02,070 --> 00:19:59,120 establishing 532 00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:02,080 a station uh from which we can do 533 00:20:05,830 --> 00:20:02,640 research 534 00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:05,840 much like mcmurdo station in antarctica 535 00:20:10,549 --> 00:20:07,520 and where we can send crews to the 536 00:20:12,549 --> 00:20:10,559 surface on a regular rotating basis 537 00:20:13,990 --> 00:20:12,559 to learn how to live on other worlds 538 00:20:14,470 --> 00:20:14,000 that's a real challenge the human 539 00:20:15,909 --> 00:20:14,480 element 540 00:20:18,310 --> 00:20:15,919 in our exploration is really the 541 00:20:20,310 --> 00:20:18,320 limiting factor so learning to live 542 00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:20,320 autonomously in harsh conditions far 543 00:20:26,630 --> 00:20:21,440 from home 544 00:20:31,190 --> 00:20:29,350 so here's uh some photos that kind of 545 00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:31,200 get into that human element 546 00:20:34,549 --> 00:20:33,760 apollo changed the world artemis will do 547 00:20:36,789 --> 00:20:34,559 the same but 548 00:20:37,590 --> 00:20:36,799 this time the vision is different we're 549 00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:37,600 going to stay 550 00:20:48,149 --> 00:20:39,600 we're going to use the lessons of the 551 00:20:51,270 --> 00:20:48,159 past to enable us to stay 552 00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:51,280 a little bit of a expanded view of the 553 00:20:55,029 --> 00:20:54,320 sls rocket i pointed to the boosters on 554 00:20:57,110 --> 00:20:55,039 the side 555 00:20:58,549 --> 00:20:57,120 those were derived from what we flew on 556 00:21:00,789 --> 00:20:58,559 shuttle but they're 25 557 00:21:03,350 --> 00:21:00,799 bigger they're extended with an extra 558 00:21:04,230 --> 00:21:03,360 fifth segment the core stage is like the 559 00:21:05,909 --> 00:21:04,240 core 560 00:21:08,070 --> 00:21:05,919 external tank of the space shuttle but 561 00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:08,080 it also is stretched 562 00:21:11,750 --> 00:21:10,320 for more capacity and power and instead 563 00:21:13,669 --> 00:21:11,760 of three engines that were in the tail 564 00:21:16,789 --> 00:21:13,679 of the shuttle we now have four 565 00:21:17,909 --> 00:21:16,799 at the base of the of the core um tank 566 00:21:19,510 --> 00:21:17,919 that you see in the middle there and 567 00:21:22,149 --> 00:21:19,520 then of course you have the upper stage 568 00:21:24,230 --> 00:21:22,159 an adapter for the orion the orion and 569 00:21:25,990 --> 00:21:24,240 at the very top the abort system 570 00:21:27,510 --> 00:21:26,000 something we didn't have in shuttle this 571 00:21:30,310 --> 00:21:27,520 is actually capable 572 00:21:31,029 --> 00:21:30,320 of removing the orion from the launch 573 00:21:33,110 --> 00:21:31,039 vehicle if 574 00:21:35,190 --> 00:21:33,120 something were to go wrong and move the 575 00:21:37,750 --> 00:21:35,200 crew away from that launch vehicle 576 00:21:39,430 --> 00:21:37,760 and return them under parachute safely 577 00:21:40,230 --> 00:21:39,440 to earth should there be an issue during 578 00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:40,240 launch 579 00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:43,520 great safety enhancement that really 580 00:21:51,510 --> 00:21:45,200 takes a lot of the lessons of the past 581 00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:53,029 and this kind of shows the various 582 00:21:57,750 --> 00:21:55,120 configurations that we plan to have 583 00:21:58,230 --> 00:21:57,760 through different blocks eventually over 584 00:22:00,310 --> 00:21:58,240 on the 585 00:22:01,909 --> 00:22:00,320 you know we'll fly here hopefully 586 00:22:03,909 --> 00:22:01,919 towards the end of this year 587 00:22:06,470 --> 00:22:03,919 uh our first configuration that will 588 00:22:08,549 --> 00:22:06,480 have an interim smaller upper stage 589 00:22:09,909 --> 00:22:08,559 uh with an orion will fly around the 590 00:22:11,750 --> 00:22:09,919 moon and 591 00:22:13,590 --> 00:22:11,760 without a crew to test out all the 592 00:22:15,029 --> 00:22:13,600 systems and then the second 593 00:22:16,950 --> 00:22:15,039 flight will have crew on it there's a 594 00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:16,960 cargo version of that and then you can 595 00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:18,080 see in the middle 596 00:22:21,510 --> 00:22:20,080 you've got the uh exploration upper 597 00:22:22,230 --> 00:22:21,520 stage a bigger upper stage and then 598 00:22:24,310 --> 00:22:22,240 finally 599 00:22:26,710 --> 00:22:24,320 what they call in a later block down the 600 00:22:29,909 --> 00:22:26,720 road is more performance from 601 00:22:31,669 --> 00:22:29,919 enhanced propulsion systems and so this 602 00:22:33,669 --> 00:22:31,679 vehicle has the capability to evolve to 603 00:22:39,110 --> 00:22:33,679 even bigger capabilities than the saturn 604 00:22:45,029 --> 00:22:43,270 so here's uh some um 605 00:22:46,310 --> 00:22:45,039 valuable lunar science that we can 606 00:22:48,710 --> 00:22:46,320 conduct a lot of people 607 00:22:50,950 --> 00:22:48,720 ask us and i'm sure you get asked that 608 00:22:52,310 --> 00:22:50,960 you're interested in rocketry why do we 609 00:22:55,510 --> 00:22:52,320 do this kind of 610 00:22:57,909 --> 00:22:55,520 activity and why take this initiative so 611 00:23:01,110 --> 00:22:57,919 studying the planetary processes 612 00:23:02,870 --> 00:23:01,120 um records of the ancient sun the fact 613 00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:02,880 that there's no atmosphere a lot of 614 00:23:07,029 --> 00:23:06,000 what is deposited in the topsoil of the 615 00:23:10,390 --> 00:23:07,039 moon in the regolith 616 00:23:11,990 --> 00:23:10,400 gives us history of our own solar system 617 00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:12,000 in particular the sun 618 00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:14,320 uh ability to study and have a better 619 00:23:20,070 --> 00:23:17,520 viewpoint from a telescope standpoint 620 00:23:21,830 --> 00:23:20,080 out of the shade in the shade out of the 621 00:23:23,909 --> 00:23:21,840 view of the sunlight 622 00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:23,919 there's lots of different research that 623 00:23:26,630 --> 00:23:24,880 can be done 624 00:23:31,750 --> 00:23:26,640 in the world of science on the surface 625 00:23:35,029 --> 00:23:34,549 and the other thing is the mission will 626 00:23:36,710 --> 00:23:35,039 drive 627 00:23:39,270 --> 00:23:36,720 our designs and when we were in low 628 00:23:40,310 --> 00:23:39,280 earth we only needed three hours to get 629 00:23:43,190 --> 00:23:40,320 home and 630 00:23:45,110 --> 00:23:43,200 and we would reach speeds of 17 500 631 00:23:46,630 --> 00:23:45,120 miles an hour only 250 miles above the 632 00:23:49,510 --> 00:23:46,640 surface but look what happens when you 633 00:23:51,909 --> 00:23:49,520 go to the moon and then
