for us being late one of the things we

57
00:03:59,429 --> 00:03:56,560
we get to do all the time

58
00:04:00,630 --> 00:03:59,439
is uh budget meetings so it ran a little

59
00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:00,640
bit over

60
00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:02,799
um and i apologize to all of you for

61
00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:04,480
making you have to wait for us to to

62
00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:06,159
come down for that but one of the most

63
00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:08,560
satisfying things that we get to do is

64
00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:09,360
to

65
00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:14,319
honor you the people that have done so

66
00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:16,320
much for the agency and we don't get

67
00:04:21,189 --> 00:04:19,040
very many opportunities to do that but

68
00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:21,199
uh today and a few other times during

69
00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:22,560
the year we do

70
00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:24,400
so i'd like to take this opportunity to

71
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:26,639
congratulate all the honorees and more

72
00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:28,320
importantly to congratulate the families

73
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:29,280
because

74
00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:30,800
as we all know you couldn't do it

75
00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:32,560
without the backing of your families and

76
00:04:37,030 --> 00:04:34,720
the support that you get there so this

77
00:04:39,749 --> 00:04:37,040
is also a congratulation to the families

78
00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:39,759
for putting up with the honorees

79
00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:41,040
uh

80
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:51,120
charlie bolden who has been from here

81
00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:53,120
all the way up to there and after this

82
00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:54,320
afternoon's meeting probably would like

83
00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:00,710

89
00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:17,919

mentioned and that's the families um you

00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:29,600
know we get to come have fun do fun

95
00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:31,919
things believe it or not it may not it

96
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,600
may not be evidenced by some of the

97
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:35,520
comments that we make by the time we get

98
00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:37,280
home at the end of the day

99
00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:38,639
but

100
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:42,880
blessed all of us

101
00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:44,479
and i hope everyone who's being honored

102
00:05:47,270 --> 00:05:46,320
today feels this way i hope i'm speaking

103
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:47,280
for you

104
00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:49,360
uh we are blessed to be

105
00:05:54,950 --> 00:05:52,560
involved in such an organization as nasa

106
00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:54,960
um i get an opportunity to represent you

107
00:05:59,670 --> 00:05:57,360
all around the world quite a bit

108
00:06:00,710 --> 00:05:59,680
and let me tell you

109
00:06:02,469 --> 00:06:00,720
i just

110
00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:02,479
i think it's unfair

111
00:06:07,189 --> 00:06:04,800
that uh that i get to stand up and

112
00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:07,199
represent a group like this because you

113
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:09,520
are so well respected everywhere and

114
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:11,520
what i'd like to do if you'll bear with

115
00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:13,600
me is i want to i want to try to explain

116
00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:14,800
some of the things that we've done in

117
00:06:18,550 --> 00:06:17,039
this past year that hopefully will help

118
00:06:21,990 --> 00:06:18,560
you understand why people are being

119
00:06:24,070 --> 00:06:22,000
recognized this is a very special day um

120
00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:24,080
you know we could we could come to this

121
00:06:29,670 --> 00:06:27,120
day and not have any awards to give uh

122
00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:29,680
but then it would be really really

123
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:32,400
really unusual with the talent that we

124
00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:35,280
have in this organization we're honoring

125
00:06:39,749 --> 00:06:37,680
men and women today who have made a real

126
00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:39,759
difference over the past year

127
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:42,479
uh so this is not a persistence award

128
00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:43,840
you're not going to see any of those

129
00:06:47,909 --> 00:06:45,039
we're not given

130
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:47,919
uh you know longevity awards these are

131
00:06:52,070 --> 00:06:49,919
awards that are being given for specific

132
00:06:54,070 --> 00:06:52,080
actions whether it be in a group or

133
00:06:56,870 --> 00:06:54,080
whether it be individuals and there are

134
00:07:00,150 --> 00:06:56,880
things that have uh have caused the

135
00:07:03,189 --> 00:07:00,160
agency to be recognized in a good way so

136
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:03,199
so it's really special each of you being

137
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:05,520
recognized has contributed to many of

138
00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:07,520
the successes that we've had

139
00:07:13,029 --> 00:07:09,919
over this last year

140
00:07:15,189 --> 00:07:13,039
uh i am so proud to say having been a

141
00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:15,199
person who had who was blessed to fly on

142
00:07:20,390 --> 00:07:18,000
shuttle um you know i asked you all when

143
00:07:23,990 --> 00:07:20,400
i became the administrator to help me

144
00:07:26,390 --> 00:07:24,000
uh see us fly out the shuttle safely um

145
00:07:28,870 --> 00:07:26,400
and and we are we're on the verge of

146
00:07:29,670 --> 00:07:28,880
doing that uh you know next week we'll

147
00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:29,680
launch

148
00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:32,000
sts-135

149
00:07:36,629 --> 00:07:34,800
for many of you who have been here since

150
00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:36,639
since sts-1

151
00:07:40,950 --> 00:07:38,240
you're probably like me and it's going

152
00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:40,960
to be kind of bittersweet

153
00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:43,199
and emotional and that's good

154
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:45,360
um i tell people when i when i have an

155
00:07:49,270 --> 00:07:47,520
opportunity to do interviews that i will

156
00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:49,280
probably be in tears

157
00:07:55,830 --> 00:07:52,400
uh as i stand on the runway uh after

158
00:07:57,830 --> 00:07:55,840
wheel stop for uh for atlantis and 135

159
00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:57,840
but they will be tears of joy

160
00:08:02,710 --> 00:08:00,479
for a number of reasons one and most

161
00:08:04,950 --> 00:08:02,720
importantly is because it will mean that

162
00:08:06,469 --> 00:08:04,960
we have safely flown out the program

163
00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:06,479
and we have done exactly what we told

164
00:08:09,749 --> 00:08:08,160
people we would do we will have

165
00:08:11,830 --> 00:08:09,759
completed a course

166
00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:11,840
on which we set

167
00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:13,360
six years ago

168
00:08:17,189 --> 00:08:14,800
it was hard

169
00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:17,199
and it remains difficult but but we stay

170
00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:19,759
focused and everything will work well

171
00:08:23,589 --> 00:08:21,360
this year

172
00:08:25,029 --> 00:08:23,599
we completed construction of the u.s

173
00:08:26,869 --> 00:08:25,039
element of the international space

174
00:08:29,110 --> 00:08:26,879
station which means for all intents and

175
00:08:30,629 --> 00:08:29,120
purposes we completed construction of

176
00:08:33,029 --> 00:08:30,639
the station and it is now the

177
00:08:35,670 --> 00:08:33,039
centerpiece of our human exploration and

178
00:08:37,829 --> 00:08:35,680
because of your efforts again uh we can

179
00:08:39,509 --> 00:08:37,839
see our way to flying to flying the

180
00:08:41,509 --> 00:08:39,519
international space station and

181
00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:41,519
enhancing our utilization through at

182
00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:44,959
least 2020 if not beyond and every time

183
00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:46,959
i travel again around the world

184
00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:48,560
our international partners are

185
00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:51,120
incredibly thankful that we uh saw this

186
00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:53,519
through so so you need to be

187
00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:56,000
you need to be recognized for that

188
00:09:00,310 --> 00:08:57,680
it um

189
00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:00,320
station is just an absolutely amazing

190
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:04,080
milestone in the annals of human history

191
00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:05,760
so we can all say that we were

192
00:09:09,509 --> 00:09:07,680
privileged to have been here

193
00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:09,519
at a time that humankind that that

194
00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:11,360
people were able to do

195
00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:12,880
what we did in construction and

196
00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:14,640
operation of the international space

197
00:09:17,350 --> 00:09:15,600
station

198
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:17,360
this year uh we did some things that

199
00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:19,360
people were quite surprised to find nasa

200
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:20,720
involved

201
00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:22,240
you know there were there were chilean

202
00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:24,640
miners who were trapped uh several

203
00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:26,480
thousand feet below ground and i don't

204
00:09:31,509 --> 00:09:29,279
think anybody ever expected uh that nasa

205
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:31,519
would show up and would play a vital

206
00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:33,760
role in their rescue and yet

207
00:09:38,150 --> 00:09:35,600
when we found that they

208
00:09:39,990 --> 00:09:38,160
that they were in fact alive

209
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:40,000
we had people who came forward and said

210
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:42,240
hey can we help

211
00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:44,560
we just know a few little things that we

212
00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:46,880
might be able to do that will contribute

213
00:09:51,670 --> 00:09:49,360
and we ended up playing a major role uh

214
00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:51,680
dr mike duncan and his team

215
00:09:55,430 --> 00:09:54,080
went down and they represented again all

216
00:09:57,590 --> 00:09:55,440
of you many of you who are being

217
00:09:59,509 --> 00:09:57,600
recognized today

218
00:10:01,750 --> 00:09:59,519
there were four people that that that

219
00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:01,760
stood up for us but they represented

220
00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:03,920
literally thousands back here who helped

221
00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:06,480
make the chilean mine miners rescue

222
00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:07,760
possible

223
00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:10,240
you provided support at a time of peril

224
00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:12,880
actually for people along the gulf coast

225
00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:15,120
after the gulf oil spill and again

226
00:10:21,509 --> 00:10:17,680
because of what what you were able to do

227
00:10:23,350 --> 00:10:21,519
we were able to help uh detect track and

228
00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:23,360
and actually follow the dissipation

229
00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:25,120
dissipation of the oil spill in the gulf

230
00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:28,480
of mexico uh we've launched satellites

231
00:10:32,790 --> 00:10:30,800
those some to study the oceans

232
00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:32,800
uh we have actually helped with

233
00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:36,880
visualization of future aircraft and we

234
00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:38,560
we have actually helped american

235
00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:41,360
industry the aircraft industry to make

236
00:10:45,190 --> 00:10:43,200
large improvements on their performance

237
00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:45,200
whether it's reduction of noise

238
00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:47,360
reduction of pollutants and the like and

239
00:10:50,630 --> 00:10:49,200
that's all because of what you all have

240
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:50,640
done

241
00:10:53,350 --> 00:10:51,760
um

242
00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:53,360
we said goodbye

243
00:10:58,630 --> 00:10:55,760
to one of our friends uh in a far-off

244
00:11:01,670 --> 00:10:58,640
place when we bid farewell to spirit

245
00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:01,680
uh on mars but but if for those of you

246
00:11:08,389 --> 00:11:04,720
who follow the mars rover program uh

247
00:11:11,509 --> 00:11:08,399
spirit was like an old old man or woman

248
00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:11,519
uh that greatly outlived its expected

249
00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:12,480
life

250
00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:14,800
and so we should be proud of of what it

251
00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:17,200
accomplished and we're standing uh i

252
00:11:22,230 --> 00:11:19,120
mean just that close now to launching

253
00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:22,240
what will be the largest um rover to

254
00:11:26,949 --> 00:11:24,720
ever go to mars when we launch uh

255
00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:26,959
curiosity the mars science laboratory in

256
00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:30,320
november uh we dropped a satellite in

257
00:11:33,430 --> 00:11:31,920
into orbit around the planet mercury the

258
00:11:35,190 --> 00:11:33,440
first time that had ever been done the

259
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:35,200
closest planet to the sun

260
00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:37,440
uh i i was privileged to be there on the

261
00:11:40,310 --> 00:11:38,880
night that it that it went into orbit

262
00:11:41,829 --> 00:11:40,320
and i was like a kid in a candy store

263
00:11:44,389 --> 00:11:41,839
and i didn't i didn't know i would be

264
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:44,399
that way but uh you know finding out

265
00:11:49,269 --> 00:11:46,480
what planetary scientists what excites

266
00:11:50,629 --> 00:11:49,279
them uh when they can't look and see

267
00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:50,639
their vehicle do stuff but they're

268
00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:52,880
depending on data to see it and it and

269
00:11:56,710 --> 00:11:54,560
it means a lot to them

270
00:11:58,629 --> 00:11:56,720
we also launched a website

271
00:12:00,949 --> 00:11:58,639
to tell the stories of nasa's women and

272
00:12:02,710 --> 00:12:00,959
to help girls and young women now in

273
00:12:04,550 --> 00:12:02,720
school to potentially consider following

274
00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:04,560
the paths of science technology

275
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:06,800
engineering and math and we have won

276
00:12:10,790 --> 00:12:09,360
awards uh in the fields of community in

277
00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:10,800
the field of communications to the

278
00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:13,200
extent that we never did before so again

279
00:12:17,030 --> 00:12:15,600
you should all feel very very proud uh

280
00:12:19,110 --> 00:12:17,040
and they tell me this is the important

281
00:12:21,430 --> 00:12:19,120
point in my comments

282
00:12:23,350 --> 00:12:21,440
the people we honor today

283
00:12:25,990 --> 00:12:23,360
i got it all right

284
00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:26,000
uh they conceived and planned and

285
00:12:29,350 --> 00:12:27,760
managed the full range of activities

286
00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:29,360
that make all of these things that i've

287
00:12:32,629 --> 00:12:31,200
just talked about possible

288
00:12:34,310 --> 00:12:32,639
they might have been in the front of the

289
00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:34,320
cameras in leading missions or they

290
00:12:37,350 --> 00:12:36,000
might have been behind the scenes making

291
00:12:39,269 --> 00:12:37,360
things work

292
00:12:41,430 --> 00:12:39,279
when your mission is to explore the

293
00:12:43,829 --> 00:12:41,440
universe to make life better on earth

294
00:12:45,430 --> 00:12:43,839
you need a vast and diverse skill set

295
00:12:47,269 --> 00:12:45,440
and it's my privilege to witness the

296
00:12:49,190 --> 00:12:47,279
ways the nasa workforce uses their

297
00:12:50,790 --> 00:12:49,200
skills in so many innovative ways

298
00:12:52,629 --> 00:12:50,800
throughout the year

299
00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:52,639

300
00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:54,880
nation's well-being its technological

301
00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:57,040

306
00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:08,320
