00:00:14,450 --> 00:00:11,780
this week at NASA NASA's Mars rover

2
00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:14,460
Opportunity has reached its next

3
00:00:17,269 --> 00:00:15,360
destination

4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:17,279
three years after climbing out of

5
00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:19,770
Victoria crater Opportunity has

6
00:00:25,009 --> 00:00:22,350
completed an 11 mile trek to the rim of

7
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:25,019
Endeavour crater at a spot informally

8
00:00:30,890 --> 00:00:27,689
named spirit point after the rover's

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:30,900
decommissioned twin at 14 miles in

10
00:00:35,690 --> 00:00:33,210
diameter endeavour is an inviting

11
00:00:37,700 --> 00:00:35,700
worksite for opportunity orbital

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:37,710
observations indicate that the ridges

13
00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:40,530
along its western rim exposed rock

14
00:00:46,610 --> 00:00:43,440
outcrops older than any opportunity has

15
00:00:49,580 --> 00:00:46,620
seen so far you see in its rim evidence

16
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:49,590
of clay minerals and clay minerals are a

17
00:00:53,959 --> 00:00:51,449
class of minerals that form in neutral

18
00:00:56,569 --> 00:00:53,969
pH water so this is very exciting from

19
00:00:59,029 --> 00:00:56,579
the possibility of Mars B at one time

20
00:01:01,130 --> 00:00:59,039
being a habitable planet opportunity and

21
00:01:04,729 --> 00:01:01,140
spirit completed their three-month prime

22
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:04,739
missions on Mars in April 2004 both

23
00:01:09,530 --> 00:01:07,170
Rovers continued for years of Bowness

24
00:01:11,390 --> 00:01:09,540
extended missions making important

25
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:11,400
discoveries about wet environments on

26
00:01:15,649 --> 00:01:13,290
ancient Mars that may have been

27
00:01:20,899 --> 00:01:15,659
favorable for supporting microbial life

28
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:20,909
the 21st century will be won by those

29
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:22,770
who innovate by those who seek

30
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:25,110
breakthroughs by those who create that

31
00:01:29,179 --> 00:01:26,970
future and I'm here to tell you today

32
00:01:31,310 --> 00:01:29,189
that NASA is doing that Chief

33
00:01:33,170 --> 00:01:31,320
Technologist Bobby Braun and a group of

34
00:01:36,410 --> 00:01:33,180
agency officials speaking at the latest

35
00:01:38,719 --> 00:01:36,420
NASA future four held at the University

36
00:01:40,340 --> 00:01:38,729
of Maryland the day-long Future Forum

37
00:01:42,889 --> 00:01:40,350
brought together technologists

38
00:01:45,020 --> 00:01:42,899
scientists and engineers along with

39
00:01:47,630 --> 00:01:45,030
local business science technology and

40
00:01:49,370 --> 00:01:47,640
education leaders panel discussions

41
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:49,380
addressed NASA's future role in

42
00:01:54,219 --> 00:01:51,810
advancing American innovation technology

43
00:01:56,780 --> 00:01:54,229
science engineering education and

44
00:01:58,039 --> 00:01:56,790
economic growth we are very optimistic

45
00:02:00,590 --> 00:01:58,049
about the future we're very optimistic

46
00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:00,600
about what can be done we go from dreams

47
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:03,900
to aspiration to pursuit

48
00:02:08,810 --> 00:02:06,810
to achievement and I believe that

49
00:02:12,020 --> 00:02:08,820
sequence has been borne out time and

50
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:12,030
time again at NASA in the past is being

51
00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:14,130
borne out in the present and will be

52
00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:16,830
borne out in the future we must take on

53
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:18,750
audacious challenges as a country in

54
00:02:22,610 --> 00:02:20,850
order to continue to drive forward and

55
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:22,620
prosper Math Science Engineering

56
00:02:28,250 --> 00:02:24,930
Technology these are all the things that

57
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:28,260
NASA is trying to do to ensure that kids

58
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:30,450
have the right tools to move forward but

59
00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:31,890
also the teachers have the same thing

60
00:02:36,350 --> 00:02:34,560
that's a future forums are planned for

61
00:02:41,809 --> 00:02:36,360
other university campuses around the

62
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:44,179
shuttle's endeavor and discovery have

63
00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:46,170
switched locations at the kennedy space

64
00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:49,200
center technicians move discovery out of

65
00:02:52,849 --> 00:02:50,640
the Vehicle Assembly Building and

66
00:02:58,460 --> 00:02:52,859
endeavour out of orbiter processing

67
00:03:01,429 --> 00:02:58,470
facility one the two spacecraft were

68
00:03:04,220 --> 00:03:01,439
paused briefly to allow a nose to nose

69
00:03:06,649 --> 00:03:04,230
photo opportunity before discovery was

70
00:03:09,740 --> 00:03:06,659
moved into opf one and endeavour into

71
00:03:11,690 --> 00:03:09,750
the VAB discovery is being prepped for

72
00:03:13,399 --> 00:03:11,700
public display at the smithsonian

73
00:03:16,129 --> 00:03:13,409
national air and space museum's

74
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:16,139
udvar-hazy center in Virginia beginning

75
00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:18,810
next spring while endeavour is readied

76
00:03:22,460 --> 00:03:20,879
for its scheduled unveiling at the

77
00:03:38,490 --> 00:03:22,470
California Science Center in Los Angeles

78
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:41,100
this is one of three successful drop

79
00:03:44,730 --> 00:03:42,850
tests of NASA's next deep space

80
00:03:46,650 --> 00:03:44,740
exploration vehicle conducted this

81
00:03:48,930 --> 00:03:46,660

ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new

85
00:04:10,310 --> 00:04:08,010
facility that expands the center's

86
00:04:12,830 --> 00:04:10,320
capabilities to test and certify future

87
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:12,840
spacecraft for water landings the lander

88
00:04:16,970 --> 00:04:15,360
facility and the vast experience of its

89
00:04:19,610 --> 00:04:16,980
langley staff provide a perfect

90
00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:19,620
combination to study the Orion

91
00:04:23,570 --> 00:04:21,120

93
00:04:26,660 --> 00:04:25,080
excellent work and the contributions

94
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:26,670
from the langley team will continue now

95
00:04:30,590 --> 00:04:28,290
with the delivery of this unique new

96
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:30,600
capability I have a hundred and fifteen

feet long 90 feet wide and 20 feet deep

98
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:35,400
the hydro impact Basin holds 1 million

99
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:37,170
gallons of water allowing Langley

100
00:04:42,740 --> 00:04:38,970
engineers to check out the water landing

101
00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:42,750
properties of future spacecraft the new

102
00:04:46,730 --> 00:04:44,880

00:04:57,050 --> 00:04:54,350
Johnson Space Center's Office of

105
00:04:59,060 --> 00:04:57,060
Education hosted 40 high school girls as

106
00:05:01,720 --> 00:04:59,070
part of the women in STEM high school

107
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:01,730
aerospace Scholars Program or wish

108
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:04,170
during the week the young women worked

109
00:05:07,790 --> 00:05:06,090
together to get a real-world look at

110
00:05:10,430 --> 00:05:07,800
what it takes to be a scientist or

111
00:05:12,830 --> 00:05:10,440
engineer which meets NASA's educational

112
00:05:14,750 --> 00:05:12,840
goals by providing students opportunity

113
00:05:17,030 --> 00:05:14,760
to participate in authentic hands-on

114
00:05:18,860 --> 00:05:17,040
activities using NASA's missions the

115
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:18,870
young women worked in teams to plan a

116
00:05:23,530 --> 00:05:21,510
human mission to Mars they designed how

117
00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:23,540
to send astronauts to the red planet

118
00:05:29,150 --> 00:05:26,160
sustain life to work and research there

119
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:29,160
and return back to earth I'm learning so

120
00:05:33,620 --> 00:05:30,810
much about the different scientific

121
00:05:37,010 --> 00:05:33,630
fields getting some advice for the

122
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:37,020
college process and meeting some women

123
00:05:41,930 --> 00:05:39,690
in science who are really inspiring and

124
00:05:45,410 --> 00:05:41,940
kind of learning what they did to get to

125
00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:45,420
where they are today when you think of

126
00:05:49,310 --> 00:05:47,910
science and research you think it's very

127
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:49,320
very focused

128
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:50,910
it's very detail-oriented but in reality

129
00:05:55,310 --> 00:05:53,310
it's a lot of team work and it's a lot

130
00:05:57,500 --> 00:05:55,320
of collaboration the girls are awesome

131
00:05:59,600 --> 00:05:57,510
they're great they're they're the best

132
00:06:01,010 --> 00:05:59,610
of the best across our country and we're

133
00:06:02,540 --> 00:06:01,020
just really glad to have them here and

134
00:06:07,060 --> 00:06:02,550
be able to provide this opportunity for

135
00:06:09,980 --> 00:06:07,070
them welcome to Cleveland

00:06:22,250 --> 00:06:19,470
future and you can do it just like all

141
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:22,260
the people that you want to meet created

142
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:24,000
as part of NASA's summer of innovation

143
00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:26,610
initiative the forum is designed to

144
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:29,070
motivate minority students to pursue

145
00:06:34,310 --> 00:06:31,530
academic study in science technology

146
00:06:36,890 --> 00:06:34,320
engineering and math or stem courses and

147
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:36,900
encourage them to become scientists and

148
00:06:41,330 --> 00:06:39,210
engineers the event featured

149

00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:42,870
managers astronauts

151
00:06:48,830 --> 00:06:45,440
and Glenn personnel set your sights high

152
00:06:52,010 --> 00:06:48,840
get a good education learn that science

153
00:06:53,450 --> 00:06:52,020
and math can be fun it's all about you

154
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:53,460
to the future you're gonna be the future

155
00:06:58,189 --> 00:06:56,250
astronaut scientists leaders and that's

156
00:06:59,510 --> 00:06:58,199
why we have these programs because it's

157
00:07:01,820 --> 00:06:59,520
all about you

158
00:07:03,529 --> 00:07:01,830
students also participated in peer to

159

peer ambassador roundtable and

160
00:07:12,860 --> 00:07:06,289
trailblazers panel discussions and

161
00:07:15,409 --> 00:07:12,870
educational activities at the close of

162
00:07:17,719 --> 00:07:15,419
their summer session program interns

163
00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:17,729
from NASA's independent verification and

164
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:19,680
validation engineering apprenticeship

165
00:07:24,830 --> 00:07:22,530
program or any ap presented their

166
00:07:27,230 --> 00:07:24,840
projects to NASA managers friends and

167
00:07:33,740 --> 00:07:27,240
family at NASA headquarters linen

168
00:07:35,570 --> 00:07:33,750
auditorium the students all with strong

169
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:35,580
interest in stem studies science

170
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:37,110
technology engineering and mathematics

171
00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:39,930
are paired with a mentor to work on a

172
00:07:44,629 --> 00:07:42,240
specific project over an eight-week

173
00:07:46,730 --> 00:07:44,639
period the interns come from diverse

174
00:07:49,339 --> 00:07:46,740
backgrounds and have interests in a

175
00:07:56,659 --> 00:07:49,349
variety of subjects from forensics to

176
00:07:58,010 --> 00:07:56,669
mining engineering my future because I'm

177
00:08:01,550 --> 00:07:58,020
still undecided about what

178
00:08:03,770 --> 00:08:01,560
since this inception any AP has hosted a

179
00:08:06,380 --> 00:08:03,780
hundred ninety students the program's

180
00:08:10,730 --> 00:08:06,390
alumni have gone on to top colleges and

181
00:08:12,260 --> 00:08:10,740
to positions in NASA and Industry the

182
00:08:14,330 --> 00:08:12,270
whole exhibit together really tells the

183
00:08:16,370 --> 00:08:14,340
NASA story in an interesting way through

184
00:08:17,690 --> 00:08:16,380
the perspective of artists so it's very

185
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:17,700
wonderful to sort of see them all

186
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:19,290
together and it's rare that we have them

187
00:08:23,150 --> 00:08:21,210
all together like this the Smithsonian's

188
00:08:26,420 --> 00:08:23,160
National Air and Space Museum in

189
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:26,430
Washington is hosting NASA art 50 years

190
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:29,130
of exploration more than 70 works

191
00:08:33,410 --> 00:08:31,110
ranging from the illustrative to the

192
00:08:35,690 --> 00:08:33,420
abstract present a different view of

193
00:08:37,790 --> 00:08:35,700
NASA than the one in history books or

194
00:08:40,550 --> 00:08:37,800
news accounts with art you really really

195
00:08:41,870 --> 00:08:40,560
see a different perspective and it's

196
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:41,880
sort of processed through the artists

197
00:08:45,950 --> 00:08:43,530
imaginations a very interesting way

198
00:08:48,350 --> 00:08:45,960
featured in this exhibition are works by

199
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:48,360
artists as diverse as Annie Leibovitz

200
00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:51,210
Andy Warhol and William Wegman I came

201
00:08:57,650 --> 00:08:54,000
over to NASA to make movies Jim Dean

202
00:09:00,320 --> 00:08:57,660
became NASA's first curator in 1962 when

203
00:09:02,180 --> 00:09:00,330
then Administrator James Webb initially

204
00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:02,190
invited artists to illustrate and

205
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:04,560
interpret the agency's missions and

206
00:09:07,610 --> 00:09:06,330
projects when we looked at the

207
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:07,620
photographs back then there was

208
00:09:12,110 --> 00:09:09,570
something missing you know all the facts

209
00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:12,120
were there but the excitement that you

210
00:09:16,370 --> 00:09:14,160
felt when you watched what was happening

211
00:09:19,070 --> 00:09:16,380
and you knew what we were trying to do I

212
00:09:20,540 --> 00:09:19,080
think I think that's where the artist

213
00:09:22,850 --> 00:09:20,550
comes in where the artist can really

214
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:22,860
fill that gap one of those invited was

215
00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:25,410
Norman Rockwell a stickler for detail

216
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:27,870
Rockwell realized upon returning from

217
00:09:31,580 --> 00:09:29,850
his trip to Cape Canaveral that he

218
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:31,590
needed a real spacesuit to

219
00:09:36,620 --> 00:09:33,690
satisfactorily paint astronaut John

220
00:09:38,990 --> 00:09:36,630
Young and Wood Dean please get one sent

221
00:09:42,110 --> 00:09:39,000
to his rural Massachusetts studio so I

222
00:09:44,060 --> 00:09:42,120
called Houston if I recalled the phone

223
00:09:47,390 --> 00:09:44,070
was slammed down in my ear after

224
00:09:49,730 --> 00:09:47,400
somebody said this stuff in that suit

225
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:49,740
that's classified you can't have that

226
00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:53,130
but Dean persisted and soon by day the

227
00:09:57,890 --> 00:09:55,230
suit was being painted by Rockwell in

228
00:10:00,500 --> 00:09:57,900
his studio and by night it was being

229
00:10:02,180 --> 00:10:00,510
watched in a Stockbridge motel room by

230
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:02,190
the NASA technicians sent along to

231
00:10:06,860 --> 00:10:04,290
garden Rocko was so pleased at getting

232
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:06,870
the real thing to work with they put the

233
00:10:10,430 --> 00:10:08,130
technician in the

234
00:10:11,740 --> 00:10:10,440
the painting that would be Joe Schmidt

235
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:11,750
there on the left

236
00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:14,010
Pew could be done at the Cape for a

237
00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:17,910
launch and see this array of cameras set

238
00:10:23,390 --> 00:10:20,640
up like an artillery range with these

239
00:10:25,430 --> 00:10:23,400
long lenses and then to see sitting on

240
00:10:28,820 --> 00:10:25,440
the ground an artist with a watercolor

241
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:28,830
pad and his brushes and paint and doing

242
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:30,570
that it was like somebody left over from

243
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:32,130
another world that had been brought in

244
00:10:37,130 --> 00:10:34,650
to do this NASA art 50 years of

245
00:10:39,170 --> 00:10:37,140
exploration runs through October 9th at

246
00:10:42,770 --> 00:10:39,180
the Smithsonian's National Air and Space

247
