And now you are part of that tradition.

64
00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:57,212
How exciting
it must have been to take your innovative

65
00:14:57,212 --> 00:15:02,268
ideas from a theory to reality,
from the drawing board to field analysis.

66
00:15:03,903 --> 00:15:05,638
We have all enjoyed watching you apply

67
00:15:05,638 --> 00:15:08,874
your classroom education

00:15:09,391 --> 00:15:12,444
I know this is the fun
part of engineering,

69
00:15:12,444 --> 00:15:15,714
designing real vehicles
and tools to be fabricated and tested

70
00:15:16,048 --> 00:15:20,252
I participated in a similar program
when I was in college, and it really was

71
00:15:20,252 --> 00:15:24,707
my first experience understanding
what Nassar did and how satisfying

72
00:15:24,707 --> 00:15:28,160
it can be to be an engineer
and take something from idea

73
00:15:28,677 --> 00:15:32,181
to design to creation and testing

74
00:15:34,249 --> 00:15:36,452
one of Nash's goals
for the art of this program

75
00:15:36,452 --> 00:15:39,204
is to develop
a sustained human presence on the moon,

76
00:15:39,955 --> 00:15:43,859
where astronauts can conduct science
on the lunar surface over longer periods.

77
00:15:43,859 --> 00:15:44,760
Of time.

78
00:15:45,511 --> 00:15:48,948
Such research will be possible
with creative designs

79
00:15:49,014 --> 00:15:52,885
like yours, designs
that NASA and our partners may someday

80
00:15:53,268 --> 00:15:58,257
use on expeditions to the Moon, Mars,
or other deep space destinations.

81
00:15:59,758 --> 00:16:01,143
Each one of you are attaining

82
00:16:01,143 --> 00:16:05,214
the skills needed to be part
of that Artemus team maybe one day

83
00:16:05,364 --> 00:16:08,450
one of you will create the technology
to make the mission possible.

84
00:16:09,084 --> 00:16:12,838
Or maybe somebody in this room
today will be on our team

85
00:16:13,222 --> 00:16:14,306
and go on these missions.

86
00:16:14,306 --> 00:16:15,858
As an astronaut,

87
00:16:16,608 --> 00:16:19,378
you should be very proud
of what you have done to this point.

88
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:22,614
I know it was not always easy.

89
00:16:22,614 --> 00:16:26,418
It was probably not always fun
and it was probably at times frustrating,

90
00:16:27,019 --> 00:16:29,688
but you persevered
and that's what it takes.

91
00:16:30,839 --> 00:16:33,859

346
00:40:03,717 --> 00:40:07,138
into the rover design rather than just
added on as an afterthought.
