again there are a few 305 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,800 Earth now once again there are a few details that we have not yet worked out 306 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:30,810 details that we have not yet worked out 307 00:06:30,810 --> 00:06:33,679 details that we have not yet worked out there isn't consensus yet on how to go 308 00:06:33,679 --> 00:06:33,689 there isn't consensus yet on how to go 309 00:06:33,689 --> 00:06:36,769 there isn't consensus yet on how to go about where we put life sciences and 310 00:06:36,769 --> 00:06:36,779 about where we put life sciences and 311 00:06:36,779 --> 00:06:38,929 about where we put life sciences and microgravity but we're going to have a 312 00:06:38,929 --> 00:06:38,939 microgravity but we're going to have a 313 00:06:38,939 --> 00:06:41,149

--> 00:08:48,620 take a very difficult job the augustine report panel had indicated that 420 00:08:48,620 --> 00:08:48,630 report panel had indicated that 421 00:08:48,630 --> 00:08:50,300 report panel had indicated that infrastructure was one of the key issues 422 00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:50,310 infrastructure was one of the key issues 423 00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:52,160 infrastructure was one of the key issues at nasa had to take a good hard look at 424 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:52,170 at nasa had to take a good hard look at 425 00:08:52,170 --> 00:08:54,290 at nasa had to take a good hard look at and as we went out and talked to the 426 00:08:54,290 --> 00:08:54,300 and as we went out and talked to the 427 00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:56,210 and as we went out and talked to the folks in the Aeronautics industry in the 428 00:08:56,210 --> 00:08:56,220 folks in the Aeronautics industry in the 429 00:08:56,220 --> 00:08:58,370 folks in the Aeronautics industry in the space industry it became clear that 430 00:08:58,370 --> 00:08:58,380 space industry it became clear that 431 00:08:58,380 --> 00:08:59,720 space industry it became clear that there was a lot of duplication of 432 00:08:59,720 --> 00:08:59,730 there was a lot of duplication of 433 00:08:59,730 --> 00:09:01,069 there was a lot of duplication of facilities in the Department of Defense 434 00:09:01,069 --> 00:09:01,079 facilities in the Department of Defense 435 00:09:01,079 --> 00:09:04,280 facilities in the Department of Defense and NASA and an industry and as a result 436 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:04,290 and NASA and an industry and as a result 437 00:09:04,290 --> 00:09:06,290 and NASA and an industry and as a result we spread a whole large infrastructure 438 00:09:06,290 -->
