1
00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:14,640
I

2
00:00:24,220 --> 00:00:20,000
into NASA to listen to the hopes and the

3
00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:24,230
dreams of the NASA employees I listened

4
00:00:30,130 --> 00:00:26,750
to the concerns expressed by America's

5
00:00:31,810 --> 00:00:30,140
leaders outside the agency and also the

6
00:00:34,930 --> 00:00:31,820
compliments that they've made of the

7
00:00:38,110 --> 00:00:34,940
wonderful work that nASA has done I've

8
00:00:40,029 --> 00:00:38,120
been to all of our centers but one I've

9
00:00:43,330 --> 00:00:40,039
met with all the red teams and blue

10
00:00:46,270 --> 00:00:43,340
teams sometimes a few times met with

11
00:00:49,630 --> 00:00:46,280
leaders in academia CEOs of corporations

12
00:00:51,340 --> 00:00:49,640
I met with small entrepreneurial

13
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:51,350
businesses small disadvantaged

14
00:00:56,110 --> 00:00:53,690
businesses I met with leaders of the

15
00:00:59,319 --> 00:00:56,120
minority community women's community in

16
00:01:02,229 --> 00:00:59,329
the country and I've traveled abroad met

17
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:02,239
with the leaders abroad that with 200

18
00:01:06,790 --> 00:01:04,729
members of Congress I read the Augustine

19
00:01:10,030 --> 00:01:06,800
report the pain Commission report the

20
00:01:13,780 --> 00:01:10,040
Rogers report and when I go through all

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:13,790
this there's universal agreement that

22
00:01:19,570 --> 00:01:16,250
NASA is vital to our nation and cannot

23
00:01:21,610 --> 00:01:19,580
afford to fail and NASA must perform its

24
00:01:23,740 --> 00:01:21,620
missions by reaching for the planets and

25
00:01:25,810 --> 00:01:23,750
the stars but at the same time as I

26
00:01:28,540 --> 00:01:25,820
talked a few days ago bring back

27
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:28,550
cutting-edge technology to generate new

28
00:01:35,170 --> 00:01:31,370
jobs and new industries and hope and

29
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:35,180
opportunity and we can do it and have

30
00:01:41,020 --> 00:01:39,170
been doing it but to do it even better

31
00:01:43,750 --> 00:01:41,030
today I'm going to announce the

32
00:01:46,180 --> 00:01:43,760
following changes in our organization to

33
00:01:49,330 --> 00:01:46,190
improve management and bring focus to

34
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:49,340
programs that are very very essential to

35
00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:52,310
America's future the first program and

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:54,320
it's so important to our future is Space

37
00:01:59,920 --> 00:01:56,930
Station freedom and on Space Station

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:01:59,930
freedom we have the support of the

39
00:02:04,810 --> 00:02:02,290
American people in the Congress and in

40
00:02:07,810 --> 00:02:04,820
1993 we have to deliver on the promise

41
00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:07,820
so as a first step as part of the

42
00:02:10,899 --> 00:02:08,959
restructuring and the management

43
00:02:12,309 --> 00:02:10,909
approach we're going to put two of our

44
00:02:17,589 --> 00:02:12,319
very best people on Space Station

45
00:02:19,690 --> 00:02:17,599
freedom first we have Tommy Campbell the

46
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:19,700
control of NASA Tommy is going to go

47
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:21,680
over and be the chief financial officer

48
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:24,770
on Space Station freedom but taking the

49
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:27,110
strongest financial person at NASA if

50
00:02:29,770 --> 00:02:27,680
not in the

51
00:02:32,979 --> 00:02:29,780
government and sending him over the

52
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:32,989
station tommy is very gracious he is

53
00:02:36,940 --> 00:02:34,730
pretty he feels privileged to do it and

54
00:02:40,149 --> 00:02:36,950
he told me how excited he was just a few

55
00:02:42,069 --> 00:02:40,159
hours ago Marty crests who's had a

56
00:02:45,490 --> 00:02:42,079
legislative affairs is going to go over

57
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:45,500
the Space Station freedom as the deputy

58
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:47,810
program manager the policy and

59
00:02:53,470 --> 00:02:50,180
management to dick course Marty is one

60
00:02:56,740 --> 00:02:53,480
of up and coming bright people he did a

61
00:02:59,229 --> 00:02:56,750
wonderful job working with me on the

62
00:03:00,429 --> 00:02:59,239
hill to convince the Congress that it

63
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:00,439
was right in proceeding the Space

64
00:03:04,780 --> 00:03:02,810
Station freedom Maudie's committed to

65
00:03:07,089 --> 00:03:04,790
the space station and he's going to

66
00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:07,099
bring a tremendous wealth of capability

67
00:03:12,220 --> 00:03:09,169
in tying our international partners

68
00:03:13,839 --> 00:03:12,230
closer together bringing the utilization

69
00:03:16,149 --> 00:03:13,849
community the scientists and the

70
00:03:17,679 --> 00:03:16,159
engineers in industry and academia that

71
00:03:20,679 --> 00:03:17,689
are going to take part in this wonderful

72
00:03:22,539 --> 00:03:20,689
program to bring them closer together so

73
00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:22,549
that they feel at their participating

74
00:03:26,979 --> 00:03:24,769
and to relieve dick cause of a variety

75
00:03:29,050 --> 00:03:26,989
of management duties so dick cores could

76
00:03:30,699 --> 00:03:29,060
assure that we have a successful CDR and

77
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:30,709
the hardware comes out when it's

78
00:03:35,140 --> 00:03:33,530
supposed to come out now the variety of

79
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:35,150
other tasks associated with the space

80
00:03:39,580 --> 00:03:37,250
station and its management structure

81
00:03:41,289 --> 00:03:39,590
that have not been resolved yet by our

82
00:03:43,929 --> 00:03:41,299
red team and our roles admissions team

83
00:03:46,030 --> 00:03:43,939
and because we have not yet reached

84
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:46,040
consensus we're going to hold off until

85
00:03:50,379 --> 00:03:48,889
we really work it through there's a

86
00:03:51,819 --> 00:03:50,389
meeting of the NASA top team this

87
00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:51,829
Saturday we're going to continue our

88
00:03:56,499 --> 00:03:54,560
deliberations and as soon as we cut our

89
00:03:58,479 --> 00:03:56,509
consensus then we'll move with the next

90
00:04:00,640 --> 00:03:58,489
steps on Space Station freedom but we

91
00:04:02,409 --> 00:04:00,650
felt it was so important to get our real

92
00:04:04,059 --> 00:04:02,419
key people there and this is the first

93
00:04:06,009 --> 00:04:04,069
in a series of management moves were

94
00:04:08,830 --> 00:04:06,019
going to make to bring the very best we

95
00:04:11,289 --> 00:04:08,840
have in NASA to the space station Mary

96
00:04:12,699 --> 00:04:11,299
Kerwin will become the acting admittance

97
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:12,709
administrator for legislative affairs

98
00:04:17,460 --> 00:04:15,530
and she was the director of liaison

99
00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:17,470
division for the legislative affairs

100
00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:24,889
activity and Gary Allison will become

101
00:04:32,110 --> 00:04:28,190
the acting controller and both of these

102
00:04:34,810 --> 00:04:32,120
jobs will be advertised for open

103
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:34,820
competition clearly we have high regard

104
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:36,320
for these two people in the acting

105
00:04:40,570 --> 00:04:38,450
capacity but these jobs are going to be

106
00:04:43,850 --> 00:04:40,580
opened up to all of America

107
00:04:46,850 --> 00:04:43,860
the next the appointment gives me

108
00:04:48,909 --> 00:04:46,860
tremendous pleasure and that is Lenfest

109
00:04:51,860 --> 00:04:48,919
will become the chief scientist of NASA

110
00:04:54,529 --> 00:04:51,870
he is one of the most brilliant people

111
00:04:57,679 --> 00:04:54,539
we have in this organization probably

112
00:04:59,390 --> 00:04:57,689
one of our most effective and the

113
00:05:01,909 --> 00:04:59,400
strongest contributors in the science

114
00:05:04,129 --> 00:05:01,919
area and in order to get closer to

115
00:05:07,010 --> 00:05:04,139
academia to communicate with the

116
00:05:09,769 --> 00:05:07,020
presidents of our major universities to

117
00:05:12,110 --> 00:05:09,779
get much closer with the lodge and small

118
00:05:15,170 --> 00:05:12,120
corporations in their R&D facilities and

119
00:05:17,179 --> 00:05:15,180
get NASA tied into America so we could

120
00:05:19,369 --> 00:05:17,189
transfer our technology and we could

121
00:05:20,659 --> 00:05:19,379
pull technology out of all these places

122
00:05:23,570 --> 00:05:20,669
so we could always be on the cutting

123
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:23,580
edge Len is going to be there and as I

124
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:25,770
discussed a few days ago NASA is going

125
00:05:30,409 --> 00:05:27,330
to intensify its efforts in the

126
00:05:32,029 --> 00:05:30,419
international arena and when is going to

127
00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:32,039
be our spokesman and I think it's very

128
00:05:37,010 --> 00:05:34,710
important to recognize that NASA is more

129
00:05:39,469 --> 00:05:37,020
than just management and programs NASA

130
00:05:41,719 --> 00:05:39,479
exists with science and exploration and

131
00:05:44,119 --> 00:05:41,729
I'm thrilled to have a man of lens

132
00:05:46,189 --> 00:05:44,129
stature join me in the administrator's

133
00:05:47,869 --> 00:05:46,199
office and when and I talked and

134
00:05:50,089 --> 00:05:47,879
hopefully he'll be joining me in days

135
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:50,099
and it will be no longer than than than

136
00:05:54,769 --> 00:05:52,050
two weeks because we have a lot of work

137
00:05:58,879 --> 00:05:54,779
to do to get his organization structured

138
00:06:03,110 --> 00:05:58,889
for change in the area of OSS a to get

139
00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:03,120
the organization aligned to programs and

140
00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:06,240
science and to get more visibility to

141
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:07,409
the American community and the

142
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:08,969
administrator we're going to break up

143
00:06:14,059 --> 00:06:11,520
OSS a the office of space science

144
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:14,069
applications into two parts mission to

145
00:06:18,679 --> 00:06:16,110
Planet Earth and mission from Planet

146
00:06:19,999 --> 00:06:18,689
Earth and Shelby Tilford will be the

147
00:06:22,909 --> 00:06:20,009
acting associate administrator

148
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:22,919
permission to Planet Earth and Wes

149
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:25,199
Huntress will be the acting associate

150
00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:26,969
administrator for mission from Planet

151
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:28,800
Earth now once again there are a few

152
00:06:33,679 --> 00:06:30,810
details that we have not yet worked out

153
00:06:36,769 --> 00:06:33,689
there isn't consensus yet on how to go

154
00:06:38,929 --> 00:06:36,779
about where we put life sciences and

155
00:06:41,149 --> 00:06:38,939
microgravity but we're going to have a

156
00:06:42,709 --> 00:06:41,159
further set of roles in missions

157
00:06:44,329 --> 00:06:42,719
meetings and I felt it would be

158
00:06:46,369 --> 00:06:44,339
inappropriate to break the spirit of

159
00:06:48,619 --> 00:06:46,379
teamwork that was going on there as we

160
00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:48,629
made these changes so we'll continue our

161
00:06:52,999 --> 00:06:50,430
deliberations and as soon as we get done

162
00:06:53,719 --> 00:06:53,009
we'll be able to announce that but this

163
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:53,729
is going too real

164
00:06:58,850 --> 00:06:55,710
be an opportunity for strengthening our

165
00:07:01,010 --> 00:06:58,860
planetary astrophysics programs and get

166
00:07:02,869 --> 00:07:01,020
us more focused in meeting a moral

167
00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:02,879
commitment we have two American the

168
00:07:07,999 --> 00:07:05,039
people of the world to bring back the

169
00:07:09,829 --> 00:07:08,009
data to understand what is happening to

170
00:07:12,019 --> 00:07:09,839
our environment what are the naturally

171
00:07:13,429 --> 00:07:12,029
induced effects and what should what are

172
00:07:15,829 --> 00:07:13,439
the human-induced effects because

173
00:07:18,019 --> 00:07:15,839
policymakers need is very critical data

174
00:07:19,850 --> 00:07:18,029
over the decades ahead to make the very

175
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:19,860
difficult decisions that have to be made

176
00:07:24,469 --> 00:07:22,770
and I'm very proud of this team by

177
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:24,479
breaking it up into two parts and it was

178
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:26,610
getting very very big I think we'll be

179
00:07:30,529 --> 00:07:28,710
more focused but I was just speaking to

180
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:30,539
some of the people from lens Advisory

181
00:07:33,409 --> 00:07:32,370
Committee on the phone and I assured

182
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:33,419
them we're not going to lose the

183
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:35,969
synergism that Len built in having a

184
00:07:39,559 --> 00:07:37,649
science community and we're going to

185
00:07:42,139 --> 00:07:39,569
work very closely with the advisory

186
00:07:45,679 --> 00:07:42,149
committees national research council and

187
00:07:48,110 --> 00:07:45,689
the committee's thereof to assure that

188
00:07:53,570 --> 00:07:48,120
we have coherence in our science

189
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:53,580
programs another area that's become

190
00:07:58,429 --> 00:07:55,770
quite clear in need of focus and

191
00:08:02,540 --> 00:07:58,439
attention as aeronautics I talked about

192
00:08:06,290 --> 00:08:02,550
this over the last few weeks I have now

193
00:08:08,570 --> 00:08:06,300
met with most of the major CEOs and

194
00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:08,580
manages of Aeronautics program in this

195
00:08:14,860 --> 00:08:11,520
country and is clear that they believe

196
00:08:16,850 --> 00:08:14,870
the relationship with NASA is beneficial

197
00:08:18,739 --> 00:08:16,860
apartman defense has a good relationship

198
00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:18,749
with NASA in terms of its cutting-edge

199
00:08:23,570 --> 00:08:20,639
technology so we're announcing today

200
00:08:27,379 --> 00:08:23,580
that we're going to break 0 AST into two

201
00:08:28,939 --> 00:08:27,389
parts the office of aeronautics and i'll

202
00:08:31,670 --> 00:08:28,949
talk about the second part in just a

203
00:08:34,969 --> 00:08:31,680
moment but this office of aeronautics is

204
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:34,979
very very crucial and cecil rosen will

205
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:37,110
be the acting associate administrator of

206
00:08:42,290 --> 00:08:40,050
this office and pete peterson who has

207
00:08:45,550 --> 00:08:42,300
been the head of 0 AST is going on to

208
00:08:48,620 --> 00:08:45,560
take a very difficult job the augustine

209
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:48,630
report panel had indicated that

210
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:50,310
infrastructure was one of the key issues

211
00:08:54,290 --> 00:08:52,170
at nasa had to take a good hard look at

212
00:08:56,210 --> 00:08:54,300
and as we went out and talked to the

213
00:08:58,370 --> 00:08:56,220
folks in the Aeronautics industry in the

214
00:08:59,720 --> 00:08:58,380
space industry it became clear that

215
00:09:01,069 --> 00:08:59,730
there was a lot of duplication of

216
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:01,079
facilities in the Department of Defense

217
00:09:06,290 --> 00:09:04,290
and NASA and an industry and as a result

218
00:09:07,490 --> 00:09:06,300
we spread a whole large infrastructure

219
00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:07,500
across the country

220
00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:09,600
but what we've got to have off focus

221
00:09:14,780 --> 00:09:12,720
facilities that a world-class so Pete

222
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:14,790
Peterson is not going to undertake a 15

223
00:09:19,940 --> 00:09:18,450
month study to work with industry work

224
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:19,950
with the Department of Defense and other

225
00:09:24,020 --> 00:09:22,530
departments of US government to see how

226
00:09:26,650 --> 00:09:24,030
we could work closer together in

227
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:26,660
aeronautics and space to come up with a

228
00:09:32,750 --> 00:09:29,490
facility infrastructure that gives us

229
00:09:35,330 --> 00:09:32,760
world-class facilities and utilizes the

230
00:09:37,370 --> 00:09:35,340
resources that the taxpayers and

231
00:09:41,090 --> 00:09:37,380
industry are providing to get maximum

232
00:09:43,220 --> 00:09:41,100
benefit so Pete Peterson is going to

233
00:09:45,710 --> 00:09:43,230
have 15 months and we're going to all be

234
00:09:47,210 --> 00:09:45,720
working with him to assure that we get

235
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:47,220
the very best infrastructure in this

236
00:10:01,250 --> 00:09:53,250
country the second half of OST the S the

237
00:10:04,910 --> 00:10:01,260
T in OA s space technology in OSD is

238
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:04,920
going to be combined with the commercial

239
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:08,130
activity and we are going to form the

240
00:10:13,370 --> 00:10:10,290
advanced concepts and technology office

241
00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:13,380
that will catalyze activities at NASA to

242
00:10:18,110 --> 00:10:15,510
be on the cutting edge of technology we

243
00:10:19,970 --> 00:10:18,120
want to have advanced concepts we want

244
00:10:22,220 --> 00:10:19,980
to have a place in NASA where

245
00:10:25,730 --> 00:10:22,230
entrepreneurs feel comfortable to show

246
00:10:27,860 --> 00:10:25,740
up with brand new ideas where people in

247
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:27,870
academia who have an idea and want to

248
00:10:32,930 --> 00:10:30,810
work with NASA could bring it a place

249
00:10:35,450 --> 00:10:32,940
where industry that's in need of

250
00:10:38,030 --> 00:10:35,460
technology transfer could come to NASA

251
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:38,040
for the very latest technology and feel

252
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:40,290
that there's a receptive place a voice

253
00:10:44,780 --> 00:10:42,510
to listen to them where we will be able

254
00:10:47,210 --> 00:10:44,790
to help them move out and develop new

255
00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:47,220
industries and new products and most of

256
00:10:51,010 --> 00:10:49,200
all a place where we could aggressively

257
00:10:53,150 --> 00:10:51,020
deal with the commercialization of space

258
00:10:55,970 --> 00:10:53,160
so this is going to be a small

259
00:10:58,070 --> 00:10:55,980
tight-knit catalytic organization and

260
00:11:01,340 --> 00:10:58,080
we've asked Gregory rec to become the

261
00:11:03,170 --> 00:11:01,350
acting associate administrator of this

262
00:11:07,850 --> 00:11:03,180
new office or advanced concepts and

263
00:11:09,860 --> 00:11:07,860
technology Courtney stad will assist him

264
00:11:12,950 --> 00:11:09,870
as the acting deputy associate

265
00:11:15,050 --> 00:11:12,960
administrator to bring in the commercial

266
00:11:17,900 --> 00:11:15,060
aspects and to tie in the commercial

267
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:17,910
industry Jack Maddux was presently head

268
00:11:22,490 --> 00:11:20,010
of the the

269
00:11:24,140 --> 00:11:22,500
commercial office will become associate

270
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:24,150
general counsel for intellectual

271
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:26,250
property and I look forward to the

272
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:29,970
tremendous output that Jack is going to

273
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:32,850
make so we had to find a number of new

274
00:11:39,050 --> 00:11:36,090
organizations we have the fine

275
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:39,060
opportunity we're going to advertise all

276
00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:41,370
these jobs widely across the country in

277
00:11:47,810 --> 00:11:43,920
academia we're going to advertise these

278
00:11:49,580 --> 00:11:47,820
jobs in industrial and professional

279
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:49,590
journals we're going to advertise these

280
00:11:56,630 --> 00:11:54,050
jobs in minority publications and

281
00:11:58,640 --> 00:11:56,640
publications that women read because we

282
00:12:01,340 --> 00:11:58,650
want the very best in America you want

283
00:12:03,170 --> 00:12:01,350
NASA employees to apply we want the very

284
00:12:04,820 --> 00:12:03,180
best people in America to apply and

285
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:04,830
we'll have an open competition and

286
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:07,890
select the very very best people I'm

287
00:12:12,830 --> 00:12:10,770
terribly excited I've been on the phone

288
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:12,840
for the last few hours and I believe

289
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:15,510
it's been very positive the people

290
00:12:21,050 --> 00:12:17,610
involved feel very very good about it

291
00:12:23,210 --> 00:12:21,060
and we've begun phase one of the

292
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:23,220
restructuring at NASA thank you very

293
00:12:27,890 --> 00:12:25,770
much and the before we end I'd like to

294
00:12:30,410 --> 00:12:27,900
ask Len Fisk was going to have to be

295
00:12:36,740 --> 00:12:30,420
dealing with me on a day-to-day basis to

296
00:12:39,410 --> 00:12:36,750
come up and say a few words when thank

297
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:39,420
you down just a couple of comments I

298
00:12:43,310 --> 00:12:41,370
think there's an important message in

299
00:12:48,230 --> 00:12:43,320
and the reestablishment of the position

300
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:48,240
of chief scientist it it sends the very

301
00:12:53,420 --> 00:12:51,330
clear message that that science is such

302
00:12:57,740 --> 00:12:53,430
an integral part of what we do here at

303
00:13:00,020 --> 00:12:57,750
NASA and it is the part of the NASA

304
00:13:02,030 --> 00:13:00,030
program which really lends itself so

305
00:13:05,450 --> 00:13:02,040
naturally to the things that we try and

306
00:13:07,730 --> 00:13:05,460
do as Dan said the other day in his

307
00:13:10,430 --> 00:13:07,740
remarks if you if you break down the

308
00:13:12,230 --> 00:13:10,440
sort of goals of the agency it's is to

309
00:13:13,850 --> 00:13:12,240
provide inspiration it's provide hope

310
00:13:16,250 --> 00:13:13,860
it's provide opportunity and for

311
00:13:19,550 --> 00:13:16,260
international in addition international

312
00:13:21,740 --> 00:13:19,560
cooperation and science plays a very

313
00:13:24,950 --> 00:13:21,750
natural role in all of those those

314
00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:24,960
activities and so I'm looking forward to

315
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:28,110
the opportunity to bring that theme to

316
00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:32,250
the agency on a very broad scale of all

317
00:13:36,660 --> 00:13:32,649
of what

318
00:13:40,049 --> 00:13:36,670
it does and also to communicate to the

319
00:13:43,199 --> 00:13:40,059
rest of the world that that nASA has so

320
00:13:46,379 --> 00:13:43,209
many things to offer both in in science

321
00:13:49,590 --> 00:13:46,389
and in technology thank you guys let me

322
00:13:52,530 --> 00:13:49,600
shake your hand again and that let me

323
00:13:54,179 --> 00:13:52,540
just close by saying the first six

324
00:13:57,210 --> 00:13:54,189
months that I've been at NASA have been

325
00:13:59,280 --> 00:13:57,220
the happiest moments of my life the most

326
00:14:02,249 --> 00:13:59,290
tiring moments the hardest-working

327
00:14:05,220 --> 00:14:02,259
moments but the NASA employees are

328
00:14:07,259 --> 00:14:05,230
wonderful they're an exciting motivated

329
00:14:10,079 --> 00:14:07,269
group of people that really want to make

330
00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:10,089
a difference in our world and we're

331
00:14:13,739 --> 00:14:11,649
going to continue the wonderful

332
00:14:17,629 --> 00:14:13,749
tradition that's been set we're going to

333
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:17,639
move forward and we have nothing but

334
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:21,970
inspiration hope opportunity and the

335
00:14:25,410 --> 00:14:23,290
thought that we could be a catalytic

336
00:14:27,210 --> 00:14:25,420
action for peace in the world so thank

337
00:14:28,559 --> 00:14:27,220
you very much for listening and I look
