1
00:00:14,470 --> 00:00:12,629
station has a bright future

2
00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:14,480
you know the construction is done so

3
00:00:19,349 --> 00:00:16,160
everything that the shuttle needed to do

4
00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:20,710
we have the international space station

5
00:00:23,429 --> 00:00:21,760
ready to enter you know what we're

6
00:00:24,630 --> 00:00:23,439
calling the utilization phase hopefully

7
00:00:26,550 --> 00:00:24,640
we're going to see 10 years of good

8
00:00:31,029 --> 00:00:26,560
quality science out of it as well so we

9
00:00:34,549 --> 00:00:32,950
times of transition are very difficult

10
00:00:36,790 --> 00:00:34,559
and we're certainly in a time of

11
00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:36,800
transition we'll have a solid future

12
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:42,950
we still have smart engineers coming out

13
00:00:46,389 --> 00:00:44,800
of schools and we'll have new vehicles

14
00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:46,399
now it's time to move on to something to

15
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:54,790
and we know for sure it's going to 2020

16
00:00:58,069 --> 00:00:56,480
it could even go farther and there will

17
00:00:59,430 --> 00:00:58,079
be a lot of good science to come out of

18
00:01:01,830 --> 00:00:59,440
the work that we're doing on the space

19
00:01:03,110 --> 00:01:01,840
station

20
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:03,120
i think why

21
00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:05,040
a lot of us got into this business was

22
00:01:13,270 --> 00:01:07,600
exploration and seeing what's over the

23
00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:14,789
that's what i would personally like to

24
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:17,280
see is let's go explore other worlds

25
00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:19,200
let's explore the moon let's explore an

26
00:01:24,469 --> 00:01:22,400
asteroid let's explore mars to me that's

27
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:24,479
the part of human space flight that that

28
00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:26,880
really is exciting and just to see

29
00:01:31,429 --> 00:01:28,799
what's over that next bend and around

30
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:31,439
that next curve is why i originally got

31
00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:35,749
and it's quite possible that the

32
00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:38,720
destination that we will end up going to

33
00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:40,320
is one we don't even know yet because

34
00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:42,240
you know we're still exploring there's

35
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:44,000
other places of interest in our solar

36
00:01:46,069 --> 00:01:45,040
system

37
00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:46,079
and

38
00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:48,720
who knows i think anywhere we go is good

39
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:51,040
because it's broadening the frontier

40
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:53,040
it's pushing technology and it's getting

41
00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:55,040
us further and further out into the

42
00:02:01,670 --> 00:02:00,310
i think we belong on mars

43
00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:01,680
and i assume you're referring to human

44
00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:03,040
exploration

45
00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:04,719
and i'd like to consider that as a

46
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:07,040
long-term goal for the space program to

47
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:10,000
put humans online
