1 00:01:04,920 --> 00:00:49,040 NASA 2 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:07,560 back in the early days the Space Age was 3 00:01:13,980 --> 00:01:10,210 new and the race to get there drove NASA 4 00:01:16,050 --> 00:01:13,990 forward working on the edge of the 5 00:01:19,170 --> 00:01:16,060 unknown forced the young agency to 6 00:01:21,810 --> 00:01:19,180 innovate and take risks there was a 7 00:01:25,410 --> 00:01:21,820 can-do spirit free discussion of new 8 00:01:31,890 --> 00:01:25,420 ideas teamwork a shared vision and 9 00:01:34,530 --> 00:01:31,900 commitment to get the job done there 10 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:34,540 were setbacks and criticism but the 11 00:01:40,290 --> 00:01:38,530 national priority was clear NASA was 12 00:01:42,510 --> 00:01:40,300 demonstrating the technological 13 00:01:44,969 --> 00:01:42,520 competence of a free nation to the world 14 00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:44,979 and the American people were squarely 15 00:01:55,740 --> 00:01:52,889 resources were plentiful the economy was 16 00:01:59,190 --> 00:01:55,750 booming American companies led the world 17 00:02:03,810 --> 00:01:59,200 in exports of manufactured goods made in 18 00:02:06,779 --> 00:02:03,820 America was the mark of excellence he 19 00:02:09,180 --> 00:02:06,789 gave managers certain ways to do things 20 00:02:11,460 --> 00:02:09,190 and gave him authority and money to do 21 00:02:13,949 --> 00:02:11,470 stuff right there on the spot we had 22 00:02:22,140 --> 00:02:13,959 groups of small teams that went around 23 00:02:24,780 --> 00:02:22,150 and attacked problems just working night 24 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:24,790 and day to make this happen everybody 25 00:02:29,759 --> 00:02:27,850 cooperated resources were there many of 26 00:02:32,009 --> 00:02:29,769 the things we were doing with first time 27 00:02:34,650 --> 00:02:32,019 everybody was sort of learning how do 28 00:02:37,229 --> 00:02:34,660 you do this and so and it was just an 29 00:02:41,340 --> 00:02:37,239 awesome feeling it was just that 30 00:02:45,809 --> 00:02:41,350 exciting we worked almost like children 31 00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:45,819 play they actually go out and play until 32 00:02:50,430 --> 00:02:48,489 they're tired and somebody has to call 33 00:02:53,729 --> 00:02:50,440 them in and make them eat and go to bed 34 00:02:56,670 --> 00:02:53,739 we just did it for the sheer love of the 35 00:02:59,640 --> 00:02:56,680 of the adventure in the excitement and 36 00:03:02,220 --> 00:02:59,650 the challenge that lay ahead of us the 37 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:02,230 spirit of the right stuff came to infuse 38 00:03:08,250 --> 00:03:06,130 America during those 10 years the NASA 39 00:03:11,010 --> 00:03:08,260 for technical brilliance and managerial 40 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:11,020 excellence grew with every first in 41 00:03:26,979 --> 00:03:24,699 every person over the age of 30 still 42 00:03:29,770 --> 00:03:26,989 remembers where they were that day as 43 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:29,780 everyone held their breath waiting for 44 00:03:35,619 --> 00:03:31,970 that touchdown on the sea of time 45 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:35,629 finding Trudeau planting over three feet 46 00:03:54,790 --> 00:03:43,730 unam down take that out forward people 47 00:03:59,890 --> 00:03:57,100 people all over the world went outside 48 00:04:03,430 --> 00:03:59,900 that night and looked up at the familiar 49 00:04:05,710 --> 00:04:03,440 old moon in a new way because for the 50 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:05,720 first time in history somebody was 51 00:04:13,610 --> 00:04:11,750 at that brief moment in time NASA took 52 00:04:16,729 --> 00:04:13,620 its place at the pinnacle of human 53 00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:16,739 achievement with its can-do spirit and a 54 00:04:21,740 --> 00:04:19,440 reputation for doing the impossible NASA 55 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:21,750 saw galaxies of opportunity on the 56 00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:24,810 horizon and went seeking new worlds to 57 00:04:39,210 --> 00:04:36,060 for a time there seemed no limit to what 58 00:04:41,370 --> 00:04:39,220 NASA could do with hardware leftover 59 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:41,380 from Apollo NASA created the first 60 00:04:47,610 --> 00:04:44,890 orbiting workshop Skylab during three 61 00:04:50,250 --> 00:04:47,620 missions crews conducted more than 250 62 00:04:52,350 --> 00:04:50,260 experiments using the largest collection 63 00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:52,360 of scientific hardware ever flown in 64 00:05:01,230 --> 00:04:58,770 skylab astronauts were the first to 65 00:05:09,650 --> 00:05:01,240 spend three months living and working in 66 00:05:16,910 --> 00:05:13,940 july 1976 nasa's present to america on 67 00:05:19,070 --> 00:05:16,920 its 200th birthday Viking the first 68 00:05:22,730 --> 00:05:19,080 spacecraft to soft land on another 69 00:05:25,910 --> 00:05:22,740 planet its mission to sample the Martian 70 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:25,920 soil search for life monitor the weather 71 00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:28,650 and give the world a close-up look at 72 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:34,260 the red planet Voyager a grand tour of 73 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:37,170 the outer solar system two spacecraft 74 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:39,330 made the twelve year for billion-mile 75 00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:41,930 journey to send back detailed images 76 00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:45,840 Jupiter's turbulent ammonia clowns the 77 00:05:53,570 --> 00:05:49,860 frozen rings of Saturn the icy beauty of 78 00:05:57,380 --> 00:05:53,580 Uranus and the fierce methane winds and 79 00:06:00,470 --> 00:05:57,390 mysterious dark spot of Neptune Voyager 80 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:00,480 will be regarded as the quintessential 81 00:06:05,450 --> 00:06:03,090 mission of exploration there has been no 82 00:06:08,030 --> 00:06:05,460 other mission which has explored so many 83 00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:08,040 new worlds only Voyager has had the 84 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:10,560 opportunity of visiting in sequence for 85 00:06:18,770 --> 00:06:12,330 giant planets with literally dozens of 86 00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:18,780 new worlds in orbit around them NASA's 87 00:06:25,010 --> 00:06:22,350 cosmic background Explorer a small 88 00:06:28,130 --> 00:06:25,020 satellite straining to receive the faint 89 00:06:31,010 --> 00:06:28,140 whispers of a cosmic explosion that gave 90 00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:31,020 birth to the universe 15 billion years 91 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:33,360 ago while the radiation that we're 92 00:06:37,820 --> 00:06:35,610 looking at has come to us from 300,000 93 00:06:40,430 --> 00:06:37,830 years after the Big Bang the structures 94 00:06:42,980 --> 00:06:40,440 that we are seeing in that radiation are 95 00:06:44,930 --> 00:06:42,990 much much older and they were created in 96 00:06:47,900 --> 00:06:44,940 the first billionth of a second and 97 00:06:50,630 --> 00:06:47,910 probably even earlier after the Big Bang 98 00:06:53,409 --> 00:06:50,640 this is like the Golden Age of cosmology 99 00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:53,419 we're really making a breakthrough here 100 00:06:59,250 --> 00:06:56,160 NASA's post Apollo successes were 101 00:07:01,470 --> 00:06:59,260 brilliant and path-breaking 102 00:07:05,140 --> 00:07:01,480 but at some point on the way back from 103 00:07:07,210 --> 00:07:05,150 the moon the national spotlight shifted 104 00:07:09,670 --> 00:07:07,220 the young agency that had met John 105 00:07:12,010 --> 00:07:09,680 Kennedy's deadline and been too busy to 106 00:07:14,140 --> 00:07:12,020 bother with bureaucracy suddenly was 107 00:07:23,980 --> 00:07:14,150 left without the national mandate and 108 00:07:30,410 --> 00:07:27,650 nasa proposed a fully reusable shuttle 109 00:07:33,140 --> 00:07:30,420 providing low-cost access to space with 110 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:33,150 launches every one to two weeks the 111 00:07:37,370 --> 00:07:34,890 shuttle was part of a larger vision 112 00:07:39,650 --> 00:07:37,380 including a space station leading to 113 00:07:43,580 --> 00:07:39,660 further human exploration of the solar 114 00:07:45,740 --> 00:07:43,590 system an imperfect compromise NASA 115 00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:45,750 ended up with a partially reusable 116 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:47,520 shuttle but without its primary 117 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:50,730 destination space station the shuttle 118 00:07:55,370 --> 00:07:53,250 was a technological success but with 119 00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:55,380 what impact on the rest of NASA's 120 00:08:01,340 --> 00:07:58,170 program shuttle development was 121 00:08:04,220 --> 00:08:01,350 underfunded its schedule slipped causing 122 00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:04,230 everything else to sleep cost overruns 123 00:08:08,780 --> 00:08:06,720 became commonplace Congress grew 124 00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:08,790 concerned paperwork requirements 125 00:08:16,010 --> 00:08:12,960 mushroomed our 1967 budget document 126 00:08:18,980 --> 00:08:16,020 consisted of four pages we keep it in 127 00:08:21,290 --> 00:08:18,990 the display case to show visitors since 128 00:08:23,690 --> 00:08:21,300 it is such a rarity these are the Dryden 129 00:08:25,730 --> 00:08:23,700 responses to the 24 requests for 130 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:25,740 information levied on us by headquarters 131 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:30,210 the OMB and Congress NASA projects take 132 00:08:35,930 --> 00:08:33,450 too long but didn't always take two 133 00:08:39,139 --> 00:08:35,940 missions in pursuit of Venus Mariner 10 134 00:08:39,149 --> 00:08:46,470 recommended launched 135 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:50,290 similarly geo tubes funded in 1973 136 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:52,970 flying only five years later this 137 00:09:00,540 --> 00:08:55,610 high-resolution x-ray astronomy mission 138 00:09:07,060 --> 00:09:03,280 NASA immediately proposed the follow-on 139 00:09:08,710 --> 00:09:07,070 mission acts F but today despite 140 00:09:11,140 --> 00:09:08,720 breaking acts F into two smaller 141 00:09:14,740 --> 00:09:11,150 missions the first launch appears not 142 00:09:16,780 --> 00:09:14,750 likely any earlier than 1998 nearly two 143 00:09:21,220 --> 00:09:16,790 decades after the mission was first 144 00:09:25,420 --> 00:09:21,230 proposed to replace an aging us weather 145 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:25,430 satellite goes next the first of the new 146 00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:27,370 generation of weather satellites 147 00:09:33,150 --> 00:09:30,910 intended for launch in 1989 a 148 00:09:36,059 --> 00:09:33,160 technological marvel 149 00:09:39,059 --> 00:09:36,069 a federal fumble leaving the nation 150 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:39,069 suspicious that the NASA NOAA team can't 151 00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:41,290 deliver what it promises in the face of 152 00:09:49,699 --> 00:09:45,910 this long long history of 500 million 153 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:49,709 dollar overruns 33 years of delay 154 00:09:55,259 --> 00:09:52,569 awesome problems of quality control I 155 00:09:57,929 --> 00:09:55,269 see very little in the in the history 156 00:10:03,900 --> 00:09:57,939 that would justify this Congress for 157 00:10:05,850 --> 00:10:03,910 taking yet another chance on you you 158 00:10:07,619 --> 00:10:05,860 know we can't do that three strikes is 159 00:10:09,929 --> 00:10:07,629 out in baseball and out of how many 160 00:10:11,610 --> 00:10:09,939 strikes you've had yet you've had a lot 161 00:10:15,569 --> 00:10:11,620 more than three going back a number of 162 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:15,579 years business as usual NASA management 163 00:10:21,030 --> 00:10:18,250 focuses on technical performance but 164 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:21,040 with schedule slips technical fixes and 165 00:10:26,999 --> 00:10:24,730 new requirements a typical program costs 166 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:27,009 seventy-five percent over the original 167 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:28,970 estimate 168 00:10:33,950 --> 00:10:31,890 still all these problems were bubbling 169 00:10:41,769 --> 00:10:33,960 under the surface invisible to the 170 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:44,600 American payloads backed up for 30 171 00:10:57,139 --> 00:10:54,780 then in nineteen ninety NASA's crown 172 00:11:00,840 --> 00:10:57,149 jewel the Hubble Space Telescope 173 00:11:06,259 --> 00:11:00,850 captured the world's imagination but the 174 00:11:09,350 --> 00:11:06,269 euphoria was short-lived the final straw 175 00:11:13,259 --> 00:11:09,360 fuel leaks ground in the shuttle fleet 176 00:11:15,530 --> 00:11:13,269 NASA America's symbol of excellence the 177 00:11:20,309 --> 00:11:15,540 agency that won the race to the moon 178 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:20,319 couldn't even get off the ground despite 179 00:11:26,189 --> 00:11:22,930 NASA's problems the agency's budget grew 180 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:26,199 the possibilities seemed endless NASA 181 00:11:31,470 --> 00:11:28,930 dreamt of an aerospace plane a new 182 00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:31,480 national launch system are returned to 183 00:11:37,620 --> 00:11:35,110 the moon and a voyage to Mars but the 184 00:11:41,460 --> 00:11:37,630 pieces didn't fit together it was a 185 00:11:45,510 --> 00:11:41,470 program without a unifying vision 186 00:11:49,380 --> 00:11:45,520 and what of the budget februari 1991 187 00:11:52,410 --> 00:11:49,390 NASA estimates its 1993 budget at over 188 00:11:55,850 --> 00:11:52,420 17 billion dollars to include space 189 00:12:00,090 --> 00:11:55,860 exploration would take even more fall 190 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:00,100 1991 after deliberating NASA submits a 191 00:12:05,129 --> 00:12:03,010 budget of 16 billion to the office of 192 00:12:07,199 --> 00:12:05,139 management and budget 193 00:12:11,549 --> 00:12:07,209 more negotiations cut the budget further 194 00:12:14,039 --> 00:12:11,559 to 15 billion finally the Congressional 195 00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:14,049 process set the budget at fourteen point 196 00:12:18,869 --> 00:12:16,720 three billion dollars the biggest 197 00:12:21,929 --> 00:12:18,879 portion for the shuttle flying eight 198 00:12:25,199 --> 00:12:21,939 missions a year then Space Station a 199 00:12:28,409 --> 00:12:25,209 30-year commitment and the rest for 200 00:12:31,579 --> 00:12:28,419 mission to Planet Earth access Cassini 201 00:12:34,259 --> 00:12:31,589 other science missions and Aeronautics 202 00:12:37,060 --> 00:12:34,269 will there ever be a budget with room 203 00:12:40,450 --> 00:12:37,070 for anything new 204 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:40,460 this budget puts more on NASA's plate 205 00:12:45,610 --> 00:12:42,890 than the nation can afford the 206 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:45,620 administration is proposing what I'd 207 00:12:50,650 --> 00:12:48,290 call a Buck Rogers budget for NASA it's 208 00:12:53,770 --> 00:12:50,660 long on fantasy and it's short on 209 00:12:55,990 --> 00:12:53,780 reality and congressional criticism 210 00:12:57,700 --> 00:12:56,000 isn't limited to NASA's programs and 211 00:12:59,380 --> 00:12:57,710 budget together we beg plead and 212 00:13:01,540 --> 00:12:59,390 implored them to be fair and equitable 213 00:13:04,750 --> 00:13:01,550 now hiring and promotion minorities 214 00:13:06,910 --> 00:13:04,760 women an agency that uses taxpayer funds 215 00:13:09,370 --> 00:13:06,920 federal dollars NASA from the top down 216 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:09,380 as few minorities and meaningful policy 217 00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:12,050 positions anywhere in ages aspire I urge 218 00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:20,240 support for the past two decades NASA's 219 00:13:25,690 --> 00:13:23,360 promises have exceeded its budget and 220 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:25,700 its performance hasn't met the country's 221 00:13:39,610 --> 00:13:28,730 expectations there are some who would 222 00:13:45,579 --> 00:13:42,880 but NASA knows how to rise to challenges 223 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:45,589 to make the space program an essential 224 00:13:50,860 --> 00:13:48,650 thread in the fabric of American life to 225 00:13:53,730 --> 00:13:50,870 give the American people more than they 226 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:53,740 expect as a return on their investment 227 00:14:00,460 --> 00:13:57,410 NASA is unique because it alone can use 228 00:14:03,190 --> 00:14:00,470 the magic and resources of space the 229 00:14:05,710 --> 00:14:03,200 infinite frontier to produce a steady 230 00:14:08,829 --> 00:14:05,720 stream of scientific discoveries and 231 00:14:21,250 --> 00:14:08,839 technological innovations to benefit all 232 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:24,980 maitreya drone NASA's future it begins 233 00:14:29,390 --> 00:14:27,570 with Aeronautics working with American 234 00:14:32,570 --> 00:14:29,400 industry to make possible the next 235 00:14:35,510 --> 00:14:32,580 improvements in speed safety economy and 236 00:14:37,580 --> 00:14:35,520 Environmental Protection helping America 237 00:14:42,530 --> 00:14:37,590 regain a growing market share in 238 00:14:47,060 --> 00:14:44,330 NASA will team with the Defense 239 00:14:49,730 --> 00:14:47,070 Department and Industry to revitalize 240 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:49,740 America's launchers with a new fleet of 241 00:14:55,310 --> 00:14:52,770 small efficient affordable launchers 242 00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:55,320 that will transport payloads into space 243 00:15:00,890 --> 00:14:58,530 and an unprecedented pace and heavy lift 244 00:15:04,790 --> 00:15:00,900 launchers that will carry spacefarers 245 00:15:07,070 --> 00:15:04,800 back to the moon and on into space in 246 00:15:09,140 --> 00:15:07,080 Earth orbit an armada of small and 247 00:15:12,770 --> 00:15:09,150 middle sized satellites will measure the 248 00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:12,780 world's oceans atmosphere and lands to 249 00:15:18,650 --> 00:15:14,340 learn how they interact with each other 250 00:15:20,750 --> 00:15:18,660 and with human activities NASA will lead 251 00:15:23,050 --> 00:15:20,760 what may be the greatest scientific 252 00:15:25,820 --> 00:15:23,060 achievement of the 20th century 253 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:25,830 completing the Great observatories with 254 00:15:32,930 --> 00:15:28,970 the space infrared telescope facility 255 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:32,940 and back to the moon small precursor 256 00:15:37,420 --> 00:15:35,490 missions blazed the trail these missions 257 00:15:39,830 --> 00:15:37,430 rely on advanced technologies 258 00:15:48,370 --> 00:15:39,840 technologies that move quickly into the 259 00:15:48,380 --> 00:15:55,440 then men and women back to stay 260 00:16:00,550 --> 00:15:58,120 using what we learn about living and 261 00:16:03,220 --> 00:16:00,560 working in space aboard Space Station 262 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:03,230 freedom humans will be ready to build an 263 00:16:08,830 --> 00:16:06,770 outpost on the moon a laboratory key to 264 00:16:15,269 --> 00:16:08,840 understanding how to colonize the solar 265 00:16:20,229 --> 00:16:17,739 astronauts will construct high-powered 266 00:16:25,090 --> 00:16:20,239 telescopes strong enough to search 267 00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:25,100 nearby stars for planets by building 268 00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:27,529 smaller lighter spacecraft NASA will 269 00:16:33,340 --> 00:16:30,889 revitalize planetary exploration sending 270 00:16:36,519 --> 00:16:33,350 Outlanders Rovers and sample return 271 00:16:39,099 --> 00:16:36,529 spacecraft that explore every major body 272 00:16:43,759 --> 00:16:39,109 in the solar system including comets and 273 00:16:50,290 --> 00:16:45,650 this new knowledge about the solar 274 00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:50,300 system the runaway greenhouse of Venus 275 00:16:59,790 --> 00:16:57,750 the record of the sun's radiation that's 276 00:17:02,699 --> 00:16:59,800 been written into the moon surface for 277 00:17:04,590 --> 00:17:02,709 millions of years will provide insights 278 00:17:14,050 --> 00:17:04,600 into the most important place in the 279 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:16,990 there's no doubt in my mind at NASA has 280 00:17:21,270 --> 00:17:18,650 been and continues to be the world 281 00:17:23,710 --> 00:17:21,280 leader when it comes to peaceful space 282 00:17:26,380 --> 00:17:23,720 exploration what I would like to see a 283 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:26,390 NASA not only being the best of 284 00:17:29,950 --> 00:17:28,010 everything in terms of our space 285 00:17:31,990 --> 00:17:29,960 missions but in terms of how we do 286 00:17:34,930 --> 00:17:32,000 everything we're the best in the world 287 00:17:38,410 --> 00:17:34,940 and we've done great things and will 288 00:17:42,850 --> 00:17:38,420 continue to do unique and really 289 00:17:48,790 --> 00:17:42,860 inspiring things we are a visionary 290 00:17:51,790 --> 00:17:48,800 agency that we are in an RD world which 291 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:51,800 explores which looks at the unknown 292 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:54,890 there are no guarantees we see it 293 00:17:59,710 --> 00:17:56,930 shuttle liftoff and there's a sense of 294 00:18:01,779 --> 00:17:59,720 pride within NASA 295 00:18:04,180 --> 00:18:01,789 I carpool with some people from the USDA 296 00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:04,190 and I tease them alive is that you know 297 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:05,600 do you get that sense of pride when you 298 00:18:10,630 --> 00:18:08,210 see USDA's left on that side of beef in 299 00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:10,640 the future as spacefaring Nations become 300 00:18:17,289 --> 00:18:13,760 more mature those that outside of Russia 301 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:17,299 that will have more of the sharing role 302 00:18:23,860 --> 00:18:20,090 as we work together in 30 years NASA 303 00:18:26,620 --> 00:18:23,870 will be as it as it is today responsible 304 00:18:29,350 --> 00:18:26,630 for those things which make this country 305 00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:29,360 of civilized nation 306 00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:32,809 those are exploration and discovery and 307 00:18:39,910 --> 00:18:37,520 knowledge my vision for NASA would not 308 00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:39,920 only be that it be a technological and 309 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:42,110 science innovator 310 00:18:48,460 --> 00:18:46,010 but also an agency that is view as one 311 00:18:52,090 --> 00:18:48,470 of the most prestigious and cultural 312 00:18:53,620 --> 00:18:52,100 diverse agencies when you look at me 313 00:18:57,610 --> 00:18:53,630 you're looking at the face of the future 314 00:18:59,650 --> 00:18:57,620 I mean women and minorities are going to 315 00:19:01,220 --> 00:18:59,660 be an important part of what NASA does 316 00:19:03,260 --> 00:19:01,230 in the future 317 00:19:05,570 --> 00:19:03,270 and I would love to be able to say I 318 00:19:08,180 --> 00:19:05,580 work for an organization that did 319 00:19:10,850 --> 00:19:08,190 something great for Humanity we impacted 320 00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:10,860 humanity we did something to to improve 321 00:19:17,810 --> 00:19:15,600 our life don't find it off there is a 322 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:17,820 plaque displayed in the office of the 323 00:19:23,299 --> 00:19:21,210 NASA Administrator it represents the 324 00:19:26,230 --> 00:19:23,309 challenge that awaits the generation who 325 00:19:28,330 --> 00:19:26,240 will come and pick up the torch 326 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:28,340 the plaque has been gathering dust long 327 00:19:35,590 --> 00:19:32,090 enough a new millennium awaits it's time
