community program have your teacher

18
00:01:13,150 --> 00:01:09,410
called Stennis Space Center at 60 1688

19
00:01:15,010 --> 00:01:13,160
3429 the important thing I think it is

20
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:15,020
first press conference is over to get

21
00:01:19,060 --> 00:01:17,630
the education people up okay that is

22
00:01:20,890 --> 00:01:19,070
it's not as important to get the

23
00:01:22,270 --> 00:01:20,900
politicians they can you know we can

24
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:22,280
invite that to the luncheon that's right

25
00:01:25,810 --> 00:01:24,110
take away and ask you we got to get

26
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:25,820
these educators I cannot rely on with

27
00:01:31,780 --> 00:01:29,810
work you want to invite the school board

28
00:01:33,609 --> 00:01:31,790
to gym i'll invite school boards and

29
00:01:36,670 --> 00:01:33,619
general is fresh named president can

30
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:36,680
tell it's not a Washington 1 2 pitch go

31
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:42,110
board to provide a vehicle and mechanism

32
00:01:47,050 --> 00:01:44,330
to promote involvement in education by

33
00:02:26,080 --> 00:01:47,060
business and industry on the coast and

34
00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:28,400
it's really great for me to see how much

35
00:03:01,850 --> 00:02:59,210
the 14 of 18 to 20 year olds who

36
00:03:04,610 --> 00:03:01,860
represents the college join group are

37
00:03:06,530 --> 00:03:04,620
declining that's all I'm spero declining

38
00:03:08,660 --> 00:03:06,540
and it probably is going to buy our own

39
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:08,670
is not using begin to grow up again I

40
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:09,690
think it would be easy to find

41
00:03:13,820 --> 00:03:11,610
astronauts astronauts are really a

42
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:13,830
pretty small for Santa Barbara corset

43
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:16,080
but for everyone astronaut we've had

44
00:03:22,010 --> 00:03:17,730
three thousand other people working now

45
00:03:23,780 --> 00:03:22,020
that's right now if if we have to go to

46
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:23,790
Mars we decide to go to Mars we're going

47
00:03:27,620 --> 00:03:25,290
to get even more those numbers could

48
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:27,630
double or triple do astronauts for me to

49
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:29,310
know we able to start now to make sure

50
00:03:34,310 --> 00:03:31,040
our children are well educated in

51
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:34,320
history and english and especially math

52
00:03:37,790 --> 00:03:35,910
and science so that they're ready to

53
00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:37,800
take over our space program when we

54
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:41,280
value the solar system you know by one

55
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:43,290
estimate it takes ten thousand high

56
00:03:48,170 --> 00:03:45,510
school students expressing an interest

57
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:48,180
in a science or engineering major to

58
00:03:53,570 --> 00:03:50,610
assure us of 20 men and women who will

59
00:03:55,820 --> 00:03:53,580
go on to receive doctoral degrees and I

60
00:03:57,979 --> 00:03:55,830
hope that each student touched by Coast

61
00:04:00,740 --> 00:03:57,989
encounters will consider a career in

62
00:04:03,229 --> 00:04:00,750
science or technology and that some of

63
00:04:06,050 --> 00:04:03,239
them consider returning the classroom as

64
00:05:50,550 --> 00:04:06,060
teachers to inspire a new generation for

65
00:05:56,140 --> 00:05:52,659
did you ever think that you would see a

66
00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:56,150
piece of the moon this close up I know I

67
00:06:03,969 --> 00:05:59,840
never thought about so it doesn't quite

68
00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:03,979
look like cheese they will want to eat

69
00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:05,449
do you know that people used to say that

70
00:06:12,909 --> 00:06:10,479
the moon look like green cheese miss
