rocket successfully launched americans to the moon 4 00:00:08,470 --> 00:00:08,480 launched americans to the moon 5 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,030 launched americans to the moon its tremendously powerful first stage 6 00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:11,040 its tremendously powerful first stage 7 00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:12,950 its tremendously powerful first stage was proven during testing here at nasa's 8 00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:12,960 was proven during testing here at nasa's 9 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,630 was proven during testing here at nasa's marshall space flight center 10 00:00:16,630 --> 00:00:16,640 marshall space flight center 11 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,189 marshall space flight center that was two decades ago but soon the 12 00:00:19,189 --> 00:00:19,199 that was two decades ago but soon the 13 00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:21,269 that was two decades ago but soon the roar of rocket engines will echo again 14 00:00:21,269 --> 00:00:21,279 roar of rocket engines will echo again 15 00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:23,109 roar of rocket engines will echo again from this massive concrete and steel 16 00:00:23,109 --> 00:00:23,119 from this massive concrete and steel 17 00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:24,630 from this massive concrete and steel test stand 18 00:00:24,630 --> 00:00:24,640 test stand 19 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,269 test stand this historic site has now been restored 20 00:00:27,269 --> 00:00:27,279 this historic site has now been restored 21 00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:29,189 this historic site has now been restored into a hotbed of rocket engine research 22 00:00:29,189 --> 00:00:29,199 into a hotbed of rocket engine research 23 00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:30,950 into a hotbed of rocket engine research for the future it's called the 24 00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:30,960 for the future it's called the 25 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,190 for the future it's called the technology test bed and it will give 26 00:00:33,190 --> 00:00:33,200 technology test bed and it will give 27 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,350 technology test bed and it will give nasa engineers a chance to test theories 28 00:00:35,350 --> 00:00:35,360 nasa engineers a chance to test theories 29 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,270 nasa engineers a chance to test theories and hardware aimed at improving the 30 00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:37,280 and hardware aimed at improving the 31 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,030 and hardware aimed at improving the space shuttle main engine and the 32 00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:39,040 space shuttle main engine and the 33 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,190 space shuttle main engine and the engines that will follow the first thing 34 00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:41,200 engines that will follow the first thing 35 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,869 engines that will follow the first thing it's going to do is give us a much 36 00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:42,879 it's going to do is give us a much 37 00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:45,270 it's going to do is give us a much better understanding of what's happening 38 00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:45,280 better understanding of what's happening 39 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,590 better understanding of what's happening inside the engine john mccarty is the 40 00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:47,600 inside the engine john mccarty is the 41 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,110 inside the engine john mccarty is the director of the propulsion lab here at 42 00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:49,120 director of the propulsion lab here at 43 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,110 director of the propulsion lab here at the marshall center it points out that 44 00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:51,120 the marshall center it points out that 45 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,950 the marshall center it points out that on standard flight models of the shuttle 46 00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:52,960 on standard flight models of the shuttle 47 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,670 on standard flight models of the shuttle engine there are 50 sensors on the test 48 00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:55,680 engine there are 50 sensors on the test 49 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,270 engine there are 50 sensors on the test engine here there can be more than 12 50 00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:57,280 engine here there can be more than 12 51 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,590 engine here there can be more than 12 times that many the data generated 52 00:00:59,590 --> 00:00:59,600 times that many the data generated 53 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,189 times that many the data generated during these tests will be used to 54 00:01:01,189 --> 00:01:01,199 during these tests will be used to 55 00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:03,029 during these tests will be used to improve the engines that will propel the 56 00:01:03,029 --> 00:01:03,039 improve the engines that will propel the 57 00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:05,189 improve the engines that will propel the nation's space program for decades to 58 00:01:05,189 --> 00:01:05,199 nation's space program for decades to 59 00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:07,350 nation's space program for decades to come the bottom line is going to be a 60 00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:07,360 come the bottom line is going to be a 61 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,469 come the bottom line is going to be a reduction in the cost of the engines but 62 00:01:10,469 --> 00:01:10,479 reduction in the cost of the engines but 63 00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:13,429 reduction in the cost of the engines but by i project at least 50 64 00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:13,439 by i project at least 50 65 00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:14,789 by i project at least 50 along with increased safety and 66 00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:14,799 along with increased safety and 67 00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:17,190 along with increased safety and reliability mccarty says that building a 68 00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:17,200 reliability mccarty says that building a 69 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,270 reliability mccarty says that building a new test facility would have cost 10 70 00:01:19,270 --> 00:01:19,280 new test facility would have cost 10 71 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,749 new test facility would have cost 10 times as much as refurbishing this one 72 00:01:21,749 --> 00:01:21,759 times as much as refurbishing this one 73 00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:23,670 times as much as refurbishing this one soon this artifact of the past which 74 00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:23,680 soon this artifact of the past which 75 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,910 soon this artifact of the past which helped put man on the moon will roar 76 00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:25,920 helped put man on the moon will roar 77 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,230 helped put man on the moon will roar back to life to help nasa make manned 78 00:01:28,230 --> 00:01:28,240 back to life to help nasa make manned 79 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,710 back to life to help nasa make manned flights safe and reliable far into the 80 00:01:30,710 --> 00:01:30,720 flights safe and reliable far into the 81 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:52,550 flights safe and reliable far into the future 82 00:01:52,550 --> 00:01:52,560 83 00:01:52,560 --> 00:02:28,630 percent 84 00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:28,640 85 00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:31,190 well i think if we look off five to ten 86 00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:31,200 well i think if we look off five to ten 87 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,110 well i think if we look off five to ten years into the future 88 00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:33,120 years into the future 89 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,949 years into the future we would expect that then 90 00:02:34,949 --> 00:02:34,959 we would expect that then 91 00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:37,350 we would expect that then that we could see engines that are 50 92 00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:37,360 that we could see engines that are 50 93 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,509 that we could see engines that are 50 percent of the cost of of these current 94 00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:39,519 percent of the cost of of these current 95 00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:40,790 percent of the cost of of these current engines 96 00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:40,800 engines 97 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,390 engines that are safer and have higher 98 00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:42,400 that are safer and have higher 99 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,630 that are safer and have higher reliability than what we have today and 100 00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:44,640 reliability than what we have today and 101 00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:46,470 reliability than what we have today and that's the whole thrust of the program 102 00:02:46,470 --> 00:02:46,480 that's the whole thrust of the program 103 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,030 that's the whole thrust of the program is to reduce the opportunity for 104 00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:49,040 is to reduce the opportunity for 105 00:02:49,040 --> 00:03:21,589 is to reduce the opportunity for something to go wrong 106 00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:21,599 107 00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:23,680 you
