1 00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:39,030 space 2 00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:41,360 the endless frontier 3 00:00:46,069 --> 00:00:43,440 someday in our future explorers and 4 00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:46,079 adventurers will sail among these stars 5 00:00:50,549 --> 00:00:48,320 discovering new worlds and possibly new 6 00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:50,559 civilizations 7 00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:52,239 taking life where no life has been 8 00:00:57,430 --> 00:00:54,320 before and carrying the seats of 9 00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:57,440 humanity to worlds without end 10 00:01:02,310 --> 00:00:59,760 but how does this future come about 11 00:01:07,510 --> 00:01:02,320 who will lead this journey into tomorrow 12 00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:08,550 hello 13 00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:10,400 i'm marina certis 14 00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:12,640 you may know me as councillor diana troy 15 00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:15,280 a member of the crew of this great ship 16 00:01:19,830 --> 00:01:17,439 on our television series star trek the 17 00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:19,840 next generation we live in a fictional 18 00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:22,080 future one in which the great breakout 19 00:01:30,149 --> 00:01:24,000 of humanity from the cradle of earth is 20 00:01:33,429 --> 00:01:32,230 but the world of star trek is only 21 00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:33,439 fiction 22 00:01:36,550 --> 00:01:35,200 there are no guarantees that the people 23 00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:36,560 of earth can make it through the 24 00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:38,240 difficult times we face at the end of 25 00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:41,920 the 20th century yet we can succeed if 26 00:01:46,069 --> 00:01:44,000 we work together 27 00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:46,079 one project going on right now is not 28 00:01:50,149 --> 00:01:48,320 only facing the challenge of space 29 00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:50,159 it is helping people from cultures 30 00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:52,479 around the world learn how to live and 31 00:01:58,630 --> 00:01:54,880 work in harmony it is called the 32 00:02:02,230 --> 00:01:58,640 international space university or isu 33 00:02:04,630 --> 00:02:02,240 isu was founded in 1987 to provide a new 34 00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:04,640 type of education which would give those 35 00:02:09,669 --> 00:02:07,200 facing the challenges of space a global 36 00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:09,679 and multi-disciplinary background at a 37 00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:11,120 level of excellence which could be 38 00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:14,000 understood and accepted around the world 39 00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:18,000 today isu is sponsored by over 130 major 40 00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:20,560 corporations and national agencies and 41 00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:22,800 more participate each year 42 00:02:28,309 --> 00:02:26,480 from the first session in 1988 isu has 43 00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:28,319 maintained a truly international 44 00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:30,640 character rotating between some of the 45 00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:32,480 world's most prestigious academic 46 00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:34,160 institutions 47 00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:37,200 each session an average of 135 graduate 48 00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:39,599 level students attend isu for the 49 00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:42,000 intensive 70-day program 50 00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:44,720 they come from over 35 nations and are 51 00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:46,640 specialists in fields as diverse as 52 00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:49,760 computers space geology engineering and 53 00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:51,040 law 54 00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:53,120 isu combines not only students from 55 00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:55,760 different specialities but also students 56 00:02:59,589 --> 00:02:57,280 from different nations 57 00:03:01,110 --> 00:02:59,599 both giants in space and new entrants to 58 00:03:03,509 --> 00:03:01,120 the space frontier 59 00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:03,519 creating a dynamic mix which truly 60 00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:05,360 mirrors the future of human space 61 00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:07,440 activities 62 00:03:12,949 --> 00:03:09,200 oh i've had a wonderful experience here 63 00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:12,959 at isu it's uh i've learned a lot about 64 00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:14,480 life sciences 65 00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:16,480 that i did not know before coming i've 66 00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:18,000 also learned an awful lot about other 67 00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:20,159 engineering areas which are really very 68 00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:21,680 important in the work that i do with 69 00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:23,840 life sciences because you always have to 70 00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:25,280 interface with engineers who are 71 00:03:30,149 --> 00:03:27,280 developing hardware 72 00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:30,159 beyond that i've learned a lot about the 73 00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:33,599 importance of interacting with people at 74 00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:35,040 various levels 75 00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:37,360 and the international approach to that 76 00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:39,200 has probably been the most enlightening 77 00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:40,799 of all 78 00:03:46,869 --> 00:03:44,799 we live together for 10 weeks and 79 00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:46,879 we know each other 80 00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:49,760 very very well we are now in a very very 81 00:03:54,789 --> 00:03:53,120 interesting era because 82 00:03:58,149 --> 00:03:54,799 the cold war 83 00:04:00,550 --> 00:03:58,159 has almost ended and i think this is now 84 00:04:01,670 --> 00:04:00,560 just now the time for the cooperation of 85 00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:01,680 the world 86 00:04:08,630 --> 00:04:02,799 and 87 00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:08,640 catalyst for this kind of activity 88 00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:10,560 realizing the daunting challenge of 89 00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:13,120 building a real university from scratch 90 00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:15,519 the founders of isu decided to develop 91 00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:18,079 the institution in stages 92 00:04:21,509 --> 00:04:20,160 one of these founders todd hawley 93 00:04:23,909 --> 00:04:21,519 explains 94 00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:23,919 isu benefited from that early plan that 95 00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:26,639 we set up that allowed us to to develop 96 00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:28,560 in a staged format 97 00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:30,560 initially under the guise of space 98 00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:32,960 generation foundation then following the 99 00:04:37,030 --> 00:04:35,840 founding conference at mit as the isu 100 00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:37,040 project inc 101 00:04:40,870 --> 00:04:39,040 we were set up to run summer sessions a 102 00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:40,880 fairly simple goal 103 00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:42,880 but beginning to work in the millions of 104 00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:45,199 dollars a year level and get sponsors 105 00:04:49,270 --> 00:04:47,520 from over 100 different locations 106 00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:49,280 now what we're looking at is the next 107 00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:51,600 phase of isu's evolution towards the 108 00:04:55,909 --> 00:04:53,360 permanent campus era 109 00:04:58,390 --> 00:04:55,919 and as the isu organization inc our 110 00:04:59,189 --> 00:04:58,400 third incarnation we're setting out on 111 00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:59,199 that 112 00:05:02,150 --> 00:05:01,440 very very exciting and i think a little 113 00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:02,160 bit 114 00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:03,280 challenging 115 00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:05,520 frontier of education where we will be 116 00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:08,240 pushing the edge 117 00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:10,400 this animation is a model of a large 118 00:05:13,670 --> 00:05:11,840 space station 119 00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:13,680 it can be used to test out the theories 120 00:05:17,909 --> 00:05:16,080 of its designers and will enable them to 121 00:05:19,749 --> 00:05:17,919 prove their concept before actually 122 00:05:21,430 --> 00:05:19,759 bending metal as it's called in the 123 00:05:24,150 --> 00:05:21,440 aerospace world 124 00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:24,160 so too the isu summer sessions have been 125 00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:26,160 a model for the next stage of the isu 126 00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:27,280 project 127 00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:29,440 the development of a full-time permanent 128 00:05:32,550 --> 00:05:31,360 campus system stretching around the 129 00:05:34,550 --> 00:05:32,560 globe 130 00:05:37,029 --> 00:05:34,560 plans call for the opening of the first 131 00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:37,039 campus by 1995 132 00:05:41,909 --> 00:05:39,840 from its central campus isu will manage 133 00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:41,919 and supervise a network of affiliate and 134 00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:44,240 advanced campuses to be developed in 135 00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:46,560 association with the world's very best 136 00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:49,360 universities and research facilities 137 00:05:53,270 --> 00:05:50,960 each of these campuses will be a 138 00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:53,280 specialized working environment 139 00:05:57,670 --> 00:05:55,520 featuring advanced studies and research 140 00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:57,680 in each of the nine areas of study 141 00:06:02,150 --> 00:05:59,600 offered by isu 142 00:06:04,469 --> 00:06:02,160 as year-round operations commence the 143 00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:04,479 isu experience can be offered to greater 144 00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:06,800 numbers of students while studies and 145 00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:08,800 projects can be pursued in much greater 146 00:06:11,990 --> 00:06:10,560 depth and detail 147 00:06:14,309 --> 00:06:12,000 the centers will be staffed by 148 00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:14,319 world-renowned faculty who will be able 149 00:06:18,309 --> 00:06:16,800 to participate in isu often without 150 00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:18,319 leaving home 151 00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:20,000 this breakthrough will be made possible 152 00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:23,520 by the isu net an electronic voice data 153 00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:25,520 video communications and computing 154 00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:28,400 system unlike anything yet available 155 00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:31,120 from his home in sri lanka here is isu's 156 00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:33,840 chancellor arthur c clarke inventor of 157 00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:36,160 the communication satellite and author 158 00:06:41,909 --> 00:06:39,600 of 2001 a space odyssey this course fits 159 00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:41,919 in ideally with the isu's objectives 160 00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:43,280 because even 161 00:06:47,189 --> 00:06:45,039 though you want a permanent campus where 162 00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:47,199 people can meet face-to-face interact 163 00:06:50,550 --> 00:06:48,880 after they've done that 164 00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:50,560 when they're dispersed they can still 165 00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:52,319 interact in a way they could never have 166 00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:55,440 done if they hadn't met personally 167 00:06:58,950 --> 00:06:57,520 so we get the best of both worlds people 168 00:07:01,189 --> 00:06:58,960 will not have to gather together in 169 00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:01,199 large communities for long periods of 170 00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:03,440 time they can meet occasionally and then 171 00:07:09,029 --> 00:07:06,800 they can continue to interact study 172 00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:09,039 through their home consoles wherever 173 00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:10,639 they are 174 00:07:15,350 --> 00:07:13,280 imagine a student or researcher needing 175 00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:15,360 information on a subject will merely 176 00:07:19,749 --> 00:07:17,759 press a few buttons and be face to face 177 00:07:22,469 --> 00:07:19,759 with the top experts in any field of 178 00:07:24,309 --> 00:07:22,479 study anywhere in the world 179 00:07:26,710 --> 00:07:24,319 conferences and classes can be attended 180 00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:26,720 by students and faculty at a fraction of 181 00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:28,800 the cost of physical travel 182 00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:31,280 and students can interact with experts 183 00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:33,120 in over-the-shoulder experiments 184 00:07:38,790 --> 00:07:36,160 although thousands of kilometers apart 185 00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:38,800 isu net will feature a global electronic 186 00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:41,680 space library providing isu students 187 00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:43,440 access to the vast amount of space 188 00:07:46,230 --> 00:07:45,280 information and data which already 189 00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:46,240 exists 190 00:07:50,469 --> 00:07:48,240 and creating a clearinghouse for the 191 00:07:52,710 --> 00:07:50,479 huge amounts of new data we will gain as 192 00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:52,720 we move outward into space in the next 193 00:07:56,550 --> 00:07:54,400 century 194 00:07:58,869 --> 00:07:56,560 isu is working with top authorities from 195 00:08:02,790 --> 00:07:58,879 academia to develop the world's first 196 00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:02,800 mss or master in space studies degree 197 00:08:07,270 --> 00:08:05,120 in the 21st century it will become a 198 00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:07,280 symbol of excellence recognized around 199 00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:09,520 the world and those who have achieved it 200 00:08:13,110 --> 00:08:11,199 will certainly number among tomorrow's 201 00:08:15,589 --> 00:08:13,120 space pioneers 202 00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:15,599 as a first step toward this dream 203 00:08:20,950 --> 00:08:18,960 isu has created a founders association 204 00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:20,960 which is accepting grants and donations 205 00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:23,280 from visionary individuals and groups 206 00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:25,120 who want to be a part of this historic 207 00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:26,400 venture 208 00:08:30,790 --> 00:08:28,639 with contributions of one thousand us 209 00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:30,800 dollars or more they are putting their 210 00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:33,120 money where their dreams are and taking 211 00:08:37,670 --> 00:08:35,599 a stand for that future 212 00:08:39,909 --> 00:08:37,680 these critical donations are being used 213 00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:39,919 to plan and design the first isu 214 00:08:45,269 --> 00:08:41,919 permanent campus 215 00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:45,279 isu's first president george van rate 216 00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:47,680 here we have one 217 00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:48,800 cause 218 00:08:53,430 --> 00:08:51,120 that does not look at 219 00:08:56,710 --> 00:08:53,440 let's call it damage control 220 00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:56,720 that looks at creating the future making 221 00:09:00,070 --> 00:08:58,560 the future better 222 00:09:05,829 --> 00:09:00,080 for you 223 00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:05,839 that come after us so why not support it 224 00:09:09,509 --> 00:09:07,360 thanks to early contributions by 225 00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:09,519 founders association members the 226 00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:11,360 university's campus planning is well 227 00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:12,640 underway 228 00:09:17,829 --> 00:09:15,360 curriculum faculty requirements academic 229 00:09:20,389 --> 00:09:17,839 standards and the technologies needed to 230 00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:20,399 make it a world educational showcase are 231 00:09:24,710 --> 00:09:22,959 being discussed and developed today the 232 00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:24,720 future is coming 233 00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:26,560 it is up to us to make of it what we 234 00:09:29,910 --> 00:09:27,760 will 235 00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:29,920 too often we fall victim to songs of 236 00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:32,320 doom and warnings of limitations about 237 00:09:38,230 --> 00:09:35,680 what we as humans can do or dream 238 00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:38,240 isu stands in direct opposition to this 239 00:09:43,190 --> 00:09:40,800 philosophy a place where caring 240 00:09:45,269 --> 00:09:43,200 understanding and a passion to know what 241 00:09:49,750 --> 00:09:45,279 is unknown brings out the best of what 242 00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:51,509 if ever in our history there was a time 243 00:09:55,509 --> 00:09:54,080 to build an institution like isu 244 00:09:57,829 --> 00:09:55,519 this is it 245 00:09:59,509 --> 00:09:57,839 to date over 500 students have passed 246 00:10:01,910 --> 00:09:59,519 through the doors of the isu summer 247 00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:01,920 sessions they entered as representatives 248 00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:04,560 of nations they leave as representatives 249 00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:05,920 of our species 250 00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:09,600 and isu does represent us all 251 00:10:14,630 --> 00:10:12,240 no matter where we are or what we do the 252 00:10:16,870 --> 00:10:14,640 work of the graduates of isu will affect 253 00:10:18,710 --> 00:10:16,880 our lives and those of our children as 254 00:10:21,269 --> 00:10:18,720 they assume the leadership of our space 255 00:10:23,269 --> 00:10:21,279 activities in the 21st century 256 00:10:25,509 --> 00:10:23,279 but your help is needed 257 00:10:27,509 --> 00:10:25,519 your contribution to this great cause 258 00:10:31,509 --> 00:10:27,519 will help us give a home to what is best 259 00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:32,790 the isu 260 00:10:38,069 --> 00:10:35,760 is now training the engineers 261 00:10:39,750 --> 00:10:38,079 the scientists 262 00:10:42,389 --> 00:10:39,760 and the explorers 263 00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:42,399 who are going to tackle the immense 264 00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:43,600 challenge 265 00:10:48,150 --> 00:10:46,480 of exploring and then exploiting this 266 00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:48,160 new ocean and the 267 00:10:52,470 --> 00:10:50,560 continents scattered across it the 268 00:10:54,150 --> 00:10:52,480 curtain is going up 269 00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:54,160 on this 270 00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:56,480 wonderful awe-inspiring play 271 00:10:59,350 --> 00:10:57,760 and the 272 00:11:01,910 --> 00:10:59,360 members of the isu 273 00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:01,920 are going to be the actors 274 00:11:05,269 --> 00:11:03,440 from a learning experience which 275 00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:05,279 stretches around the globe 276 00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:07,839 isu plans to actually become a true 277 00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:09,600 space university 278 00:11:13,430 --> 00:11:11,440 building its first orbital research 279 00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:13,440 facilities 280 00:11:19,829 --> 00:11:17,120 for isu the trek has just begun 281 00:11:22,870 --> 00:11:19,839 where it will lead no one knows 282 00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:22,880 but if it is to lead anywhere at all isu 283 00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:25,519 needs your help now so that tomorrow we 284 00:11:28,630 --> 00:11:27,279 can give our children the future they 285 00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:28,640 deserve 286 00:11:32,310 --> 00:11:30,320 seldom in history does a chance come 287 00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:32,320 along to make a real difference 288 00:14:52,069 --> 00:11:34,640 you have that chance now 289 00:14:52,079 --> 00:14:54,870 sorry 290 00:15:01,509 --> 00:14:56,629 okay aren't there any moment you'd like 291 00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:03,829 sitting here beside the indian ocean the 292 00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:06,800 largest unexplored body of water on this 293 00:15:09,910 --> 00:15:08,000 planet 294 00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:09,920 seems an appropriate place to talk about 295 00:15:15,269 --> 00:15:12,880 the international space university which 296 00:15:18,710 --> 00:15:15,279 is concerned with the next great age of 297 00:15:20,870 --> 00:15:18,720 exploration the exploration of space 298 00:15:22,389 --> 00:15:20,880 and the isu is going to do that by 299 00:15:24,870 --> 00:15:22,399 training the 300 00:15:26,790 --> 00:15:24,880 engineers scientists 301 00:15:28,230 --> 00:15:26,800 and the explorers who 302 00:15:29,430 --> 00:15:28,240 during the next century you're going to 303 00:15:31,670 --> 00:15:29,440 go out 304 00:15:33,430 --> 00:15:31,680 and explore first the moon and then i'm 305 00:15:35,590 --> 00:15:33,440 sure mars 306 00:15:37,910 --> 00:15:35,600 the moons of jupiter and all these 307 00:15:40,310 --> 00:15:37,920 strange and exotic places 308 00:15:41,829 --> 00:15:40,320 even stranger than those on this planet 309 00:15:42,949 --> 00:15:41,839 which are there waiting 310 00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:42,959 for 311 00:15:47,990 --> 00:15:46,000 the future of the human race to 312 00:16:06,389 --> 00:15:48,000 develop on a stage greater than anyone 313 00:16:10,389 --> 00:16:08,470 sitting here by the side of the indian 314 00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:10,399 ocean the 315 00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:12,720 largest unexplored bodybuilder in this 316 00:16:16,069 --> 00:16:14,160 planet 317 00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:16,079 seems an appropriate place to talk about 318 00:16:21,269 --> 00:16:18,959 the international space university 319 00:16:21,829 --> 00:16:21,279 which is 320 00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:21,839 of concerned with 321 00:16:26,629 --> 00:16:24,160 larger scale 322 00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:26,639 the ocean of space 323 00:16:30,710 --> 00:16:28,720 is infinitely larger 324 00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:30,720 than that of 325 00:16:33,829 --> 00:16:32,560 the scene 326 00:16:35,509 --> 00:16:33,839 the isu 327 00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:35,519 is now training 328 00:16:39,189 --> 00:16:37,120 engineers 329 00:16:40,790 --> 00:16:39,199 scientists 330 00:16:43,430 --> 00:16:40,800 and the explorers 331 00:16:44,629 --> 00:16:43,440 who are going to tackle the immense 332 00:16:47,509 --> 00:16:44,639 challenge 333 00:16:49,189 --> 00:16:47,519 of exploring and then exploiting this 334 00:16:51,749 --> 00:16:49,199 new ocean and 335 00:16:53,110 --> 00:16:51,759 continents scattered across it 336 00:16:54,310 --> 00:16:53,120 ours 337 00:16:55,910 --> 00:16:54,320 first moon 338 00:16:57,829 --> 00:16:55,920 and mars 339 00:16:59,350 --> 00:16:57,839 then probably the 340 00:17:01,430 --> 00:16:59,360 giant moons 341 00:17:05,429 --> 00:17:01,440 jupiter and saturn which are worlds in 342 00:17:09,909 --> 00:17:08,470 huge stage on which the future drama 343 00:17:11,590 --> 00:17:09,919 of the human race 344 00:17:13,429 --> 00:17:11,600 is going to be played 345 00:17:14,949 --> 00:17:13,439 we're at the beginning 346 00:17:16,549 --> 00:17:14,959 is going up 347 00:17:20,789 --> 00:17:16,559 on this 348 00:17:20,799 --> 00:17:33,590 is 349 00:17:37,590 --> 00:17:35,510 when people ask me why 350 00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:37,600 they should support the isu 351 00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:40,320 as opposed to the innumerable other good 352 00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:43,760 causes repeating all the time 353 00:17:48,070 --> 00:17:45,760 i'm reminded of the beginning of the 354 00:17:50,630 --> 00:17:48,080 great age of exploration and very few 355 00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:50,640 people like columbus you know appeal to 356 00:17:54,549 --> 00:17:53,039 royal patrons and stuff we think we 357 00:17:56,390 --> 00:17:54,559 under good things will give us the money 358 00:17:57,750 --> 00:17:56,400 to build the ships and we'll open up a 359 00:17:59,590 --> 00:17:57,760 new world 360 00:18:00,630 --> 00:17:59,600 and of course that's exactly what 361 00:18:02,470 --> 00:18:00,640 happened 362 00:18:04,789 --> 00:18:02,480 what would our world be like now if 363 00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:04,799 columbus hadn't seen support then 364 00:18:09,029 --> 00:18:07,280 because eventually we would have 365 00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:09,039 started a new world 366 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:44,950 what do you think
