1 00:00:32,869 --> 00:00:29,569 our children our future we want the best 2 00:00:38,420 --> 00:00:32,879 for them we want health prosperity and 3 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:38,430 peace virtually every advance in human 4 00:00:44,450 --> 00:00:40,610 endeavor has been the result of research 5 00:00:47,329 --> 00:00:44,460 long painstaking labor and commitment to 6 00:00:49,660 --> 00:00:47,339 a better way of life in a sense the 7 00:00:54,110 --> 00:00:49,670 future is the direct result of the past 8 00:01:01,810 --> 00:00:54,120 the consequence of 10 20 50 years of 9 00:01:06,530 --> 00:01:03,829 dreaming and building is something 10 00:01:08,750 --> 00:01:06,540 America knows about since the Wright 11 00:01:11,109 --> 00:01:08,760 brothers flew we've realized the 12 00:01:49,930 --> 00:01:11,119 benefits of commitment to air and space 13 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:53,690 now there's a new dream a next step and 14 00:01:59,530 --> 00:01:56,970 perhaps for the first time we have the 15 00:02:01,940 --> 00:01:59,540 major components already in place for 16 00:02:04,670 --> 00:02:01,950 realizing the dream of placing bigger 17 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:04,680 and more useful payloads in Earth orbit 18 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:09,090 and beyond by using the existing Space 19 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:11,250 Shuttle booster rockets and external 20 00:02:16,250 --> 00:02:14,370 tank we have the ability to design and 21 00:02:24,740 --> 00:02:16,260 build an unmanned heavy launch vehicle 22 00:02:27,290 --> 00:02:24,750 now the system is shuttle cc4 cargo 23 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:27,300 with shuttle see we can lift 100 24 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:29,250 thousand pound payloads to the space 25 00:02:35,180 --> 00:02:32,730 station for example in all other aspects 26 00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:35,190 shuttle C works much the same as other 27 00:02:41,540 --> 00:02:37,650 current shuttle operations including 28 00:02:43,699 --> 00:02:41,550 cost-saving booster recovery the 29 00:02:46,220 --> 00:02:43,709 external tank is also common to both 30 00:02:48,620 --> 00:02:46,230 shuttles because the shuttle C cargo 31 00:02:51,740 --> 00:02:48,630 carrier uses the same orbiter main 32 00:02:54,050 --> 00:02:51,750 engines an interesting concept and 33 00:02:56,570 --> 00:02:54,060 proven technique is employed by shuttle 34 00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:56,580 C for carrying greater weights to 35 00:03:02,600 --> 00:02:59,760 greater heights once above the 36 00:03:08,350 --> 00:03:02,610 atmosphere shuttle C jettisons its cargo 37 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:10,729 after the main engine firing is 38 00:03:22,729 --> 00:03:13,410 completed the external tank is also 39 00:03:28,020 --> 00:03:22,739 jettisoned once clear of the vehicle the 40 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:31,180 in a sense the payload weight for 41 00:03:35,650 --> 00:03:33,770 shuttle si is not calculated based on 42 00:03:38,380 --> 00:03:35,660 bringing the entire vehicle to its 43 00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:38,390 mission destination that's very much the 44 00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:40,400 concept that help put men and equipment 45 00:03:47,220 --> 00:03:45,200 on the surface of the Moon the economies 46 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:47,230 are realized in other ways as well 47 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:49,730 because of its significant cargo 48 00:03:55,390 --> 00:03:52,610 capacity shuttle si can carry many 49 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:55,400 payloads to orbit preassembled this 50 00:04:02,199 --> 00:03:58,010 means less time and effort in space to 51 00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:02,209 put things together once in orbit an 52 00:04:07,540 --> 00:04:04,910 orbital maneuvering vehicle part of the 53 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:07,550 payload in this simulation can position 54 00:04:12,820 --> 00:04:09,890 the carrier and its payload to the space 55 00:04:14,590 --> 00:04:12,830 station for example for docking with an 56 00:04:16,990 --> 00:04:14,600 assist from jets in the tail of the 57 00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:17,000 carrier and from commands from the space 58 00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:28,200 but Space Station missions are just the 59 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:31,120 beginning shuttle C can also launch 60 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:34,930 planetary probes to Mars to Saturn to 61 00:04:42,630 --> 00:04:39,370 comets it can deliver large-scale 62 00:04:45,540 --> 00:04:42,640 support for lunar exploration and in 63 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:45,550 terms of pure practicality shuttle C 64 00:04:51,780 --> 00:04:48,010 provides an unmanned test environment 65 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:51,790 for advanced shuttle systems in real 66 00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:54,010 everyday terms we can all understand 67 00:05:00,570 --> 00:04:57,280 just how does shuttle C stack up against 68 00:05:03,780 --> 00:05:00,580 other known space systems shuttle C 69 00:05:06,410 --> 00:05:03,790 provides a safe unmanned and economical 70 00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:06,420 means of placing large payloads in orbit 71 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:09,820 the shuttle as we know it today can 72 00:05:16,860 --> 00:05:13,450 carry payloads of up to 45,000 pounds to 73 00:05:19,740 --> 00:05:16,870 a 160 nautical mile orbit with the 74 00:05:25,610 --> 00:05:19,750 advanced solid rocket motor the ASRM 75 00:05:31,010 --> 00:05:27,960 current unmanned expendable launch 76 00:05:34,290 --> 00:05:31,020 vehicles such as the Titan 3 can place 77 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:34,300 29,000 pounds in the same orbit the 78 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:36,490 upgraded Titan 4 currently under 79 00:05:44,670 --> 00:05:40,650 development will carry 38,000 pounds 80 00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:44,680 shuttles C can place over 114 thousand 81 00:05:50,790 --> 00:05:47,590 pounds to the same orbit with an upper 82 00:05:55,140 --> 00:05:50,800 stage it can place 20,000 pounds in a 83 00:05:57,450 --> 00:05:55,150 geosynchronous orbit of 22,000 miles all 84 00:06:00,180 --> 00:05:57,460 of this capability to support the needs 85 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:00,190 of already identified programs is 86 00:06:06,450 --> 00:06:02,770 possible with a minimum of development a 87 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:06,460 minimum of time no new technology is 88 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:08,890 needed to build shuttle see the launch 89 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:13,210 facilities are already in place we're 90 00:06:18,090 --> 00:06:15,490 talking about dreams and imagination for 91 00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:18,100 certain but we're also talking about a 92 00:06:23,430 --> 00:06:21,310 future reality by the time these 93 00:06:26,580 --> 00:06:23,440 children complete elementary school 94 00:06:29,150 --> 00:06:26,590 shuttle C could be in operation helping 95 00:06:32,380 --> 00:06:29,160 mankind find answers to questions 96 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:32,390 solutions to earthbound riddles 97 00:06:39,530 --> 00:06:35,970 America has the ingenuity we can use it 98 00:06:52,559 --> 00:06:39,540 or we can rely on others the choice is 99 00:06:58,540 --> 00:06:55,420 shuttle si is not the answer to all of 100 00:07:00,999 --> 00:06:58,550 our needs but it is the logical next 101 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:01,009 step in a carefully considered timely 102 00:07:07,420 --> 00:07:03,770 progression to put America back on the
