00:00:07,829 --> 00:00:01,829
from the office of us congresswoman

2
00:00:15,190 --> 00:00:09,589
representing the office of governor rick

3
00:00:21,349 --> 00:00:17,349
and also commissioner commissioner andy

4
00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:23,029
thank you all for taking the time to be

5
00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:35,990
thanks cheryl charlie bolton here uh

6
00:00:39,670 --> 00:00:38,160
he's been gracious enough to come up and

7
00:00:41,590 --> 00:00:39,680
share a few words with you also and

8
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:41,600
today what's going on in washington

9
00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:43,840
we charted our future a couple years

10
00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:44,640
back

11
00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:47,200
and we've been working on it ever since

12
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:47,920
and

13
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:49,840
as we go through this talk this morning

14
00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:51,840
i think you'll see that everything we

15
00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:52,960
laid out

16
00:00:56,630 --> 00:00:55,199
is coming to fruition

17
00:00:59,430 --> 00:00:56,640
this visitor center is going to be

18
00:01:01,110 --> 00:00:59,440
changing in the next few years and it is

19
00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:01,120
going to be extremely positive i think

20
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:02,879
you all know that not one

21
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:05,280
penny of any appropriate dollar gets

22
00:01:09,429 --> 00:01:07,840
spent at the kennedy visitor center it

23
00:01:11,750 --> 00:01:09,439
is totally self-sustaining on the

24
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:11,760
revenue that it brings in the facility

25
00:01:16,149 --> 00:01:14,320
will showcase not only the shuttle but

26
00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:16,159
the space station and all that we've

27
00:01:20,469 --> 00:01:17,920
accomplished with the shuttle for the

28
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:20,479
last 30 years i think you're all going

29
00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:21,360
to be

30
00:01:26,070 --> 00:01:23,520
really pleased with what we have and it

31
00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:26,080
will rival anything anywhere and that is

32
00:01:31,109 --> 00:01:27,920
something our community can be extremely

33
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:31,119
proud of actually bring work here at the

34
00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:32,960
kennedy space center and get those

35
00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:34,720
experiments up on

36
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:36,479
the international space station bring

37
00:01:40,069 --> 00:01:38,159
researchers in

38
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:40,079
paid for the access off space commerce

39
00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:42,479
way to exploration park and the space

40
00:01:46,389 --> 00:01:44,880
flight sciences lab eventually uh

41
00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:46,399
hopefully in the near future we're going

42
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:47,840
to get the fence moved so that it's

43
00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:49,360
actually outside the pennsylvania

44
00:01:55,109 --> 00:01:51,360
kennedy space center soon i think we'll

45
00:01:57,429 --> 00:01:55,119
have an announcement on the use of our

46
00:01:59,910 --> 00:01:57,439
excess capacity here at ksc with one of

47
00:02:01,590 --> 00:01:59,920
our over processing facilities

48
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:01,600
figure out how we could release some of

49
00:02:04,789 --> 00:02:03,600
these facilities earlier to make this

50
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:04,799
happen

51
00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:07,360
we have plans for opf phase one and two

52
00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:09,440
with potential customers coming in there

53
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:12,160
also make that hive a world-class

54
00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:14,160
facility it's nicer than it was during

55
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:15,680
the apollo program where the apollo

56
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:18,720
capsules were processed and will compete

57
00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:21,520
those boosters to determine if it's more

58
00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:23,280
appropriate cost-effective than a liquid

59
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:25,840
booster or continue with the solids

60
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:28,239
but because it was not outfitted

61
00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:30,239
we didn't waste a penny on that we'll

62
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:32,319
have to make some modifications to the

63
00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:34,239
base of it to accommodate

64
00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:36,720
not just the central core as it was for

65
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:39,040
aries but those two uh solids on the

66
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:40,640
side play exclusive and that's going to

67
00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:42,400
come up and talk about commercial space

68
00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:44,800
but you know we're going to do both all

69
00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:45,840
right

70
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:47,360
we're going to have a heavy lift program

71
00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:49,120
that allows us to explore

72
00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:50,720
but we want to be launching up to our

73
00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:52,640
international space station we made

74
00:02:56,229 --> 00:02:54,160
great progress there with the four

75
00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:56,239
companies that we have on our commercial

76
00:03:00,390 --> 00:02:58,560
crew development program and i could go

77
00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:00,400
on and talk about it more about how it

78
00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:03,280
gets thunder satellites that can go

79
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:05,760
rendezvous and refuel other uh

80
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:08,000
satellites in space and that work is

81
00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:09,360
being done right here at the kennedy

82
00:03:14,149 --> 00:03:11,680
space center i think you know that

83
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,159
that says a lot about the capabilities

84
00:03:18,229 --> 00:03:16,560
and the talent that we have here launch

85
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:18,239
services

86
00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:20,800
commercial crew and 21st century ground

87
00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:22,640
ops ground project

88
00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:23,680
you're going to hear some great

89
00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:26,480
presentations from amanda and ed and

90
00:03:30,869 --> 00:03:28,799
pepper and and like bob i really want

91
00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:30,879
you to hear them talk about what we're

92
00:03:34,789 --> 00:03:33,200
doing we have two choices

93
00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:34,799
we can even embrace we can either

94
00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:36,480
embrace the future

95
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:38,959
and make it as successful as we possibly

96
00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:42,000
can or we can suffer the consequences so

97
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:44,319
we are blessed

98
00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:46,720
we have an opportunity to do great

99
00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:47,760
things here

100
00:03:57,030 --> 00:03:55,429
or not to agree passionately and that's

101
00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:57,040
about the future of this nation and our

102
00:04:00,550 --> 00:03:58,560
leadership in space

103
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:00,560
and we could not have three greater

104
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:02,239
leaders when it comes to the things

105
00:04:06,869 --> 00:04:03,920
about which we care

106
00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:06,879
the first time since 1972 that we've had

107
00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:09,120
two spacecraft orbiting the moon in

108
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:11,519
formation coordinated and everything the

109
00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:13,120
granddaddy of them all i'd like to tell

110
00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:14,640
people it's going to be like you know

111
00:04:17,670 --> 00:04:16,239
they have big football games on

112
00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:17,680
thanksgiving weekend how many of you

113
00:04:21,509 --> 00:04:19,600
like football on thanksgiving weekend

114
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:21,519
well the super bowl space is going to be

115
00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:24,080
right here on the day after thanksgiving

116
00:04:27,590 --> 00:04:26,080
and that's the launch of msl the mars

117
00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:27,600
science laboratory we've got a vehicle

118
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:30,160
that's going to fly it down hover

119
00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:32,240
for a while the lander

120
00:04:37,030 --> 00:04:34,320
lower it by crane

121
00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:37,040
by a cable put it on the surface and

122
00:04:42,390 --> 00:04:38,880
then it's going to arrange the planet

123
00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:42,400
mars hundreds of meters a day not color

124
00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:45,040
you name it this is uh science fiction

125
00:04:47,909 --> 00:04:46,320
come to life

126
00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:47,919
and it's gonna happen and it's gonna

127
00:04:51,990 --> 00:04:49,600
start right here the day after

128
00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:52,000
thanksgiving so there are absolutely

129
00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:54,000
incredible things going on here and you

130
00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:56,160
need to enjoy them and be proud of them

131
00:04:59,350 --> 00:04:58,000
and take credit for it

132
00:05:01,350 --> 00:04:59,360
because you did

133
00:05:03,189 --> 00:05:01,360
and you make it possible you know

134
00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:03,199
encourage people to get interested in

135
00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:05,520
what you do down here and what you bring

136
00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:07,680
whether you're a support contractor or

137
00:05:11,670 --> 00:05:09,120
prime contractor on one of these

138
00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:11,680
vehicles you do great things so we get

139
00:05:14,790 --> 00:05:13,360
to see all the missions that charlie

140
00:05:16,469 --> 00:05:14,800
talked about here

141
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:16,479
as they come through kennedy space

142
00:05:20,550 --> 00:05:18,720
center and we also continue to enhance

143
00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:20,560
the capabilities that we have and work

144
00:05:23,749 --> 00:05:22,400
closely with our customers in order to

145
00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:23,759
make sure that we're getting them what

146
00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:26,080
they need to get i think maybe for this

147
00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:27,520
group here is that

148
00:05:30,469 --> 00:05:28,960
you see on the side there something

149
00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:30,479
called alana

150
00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:32,240
that is a project we've had in work for

151
00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:34,800
about three years it's an educational

152
00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:38,160
initiative to launch a tiny little cubes

153
00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:40,000
about this large as well as earth

154
00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:42,320
science and some heliophysics missions

155
00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:43,360
we have one mission that i'll be

156
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:45,440
launching out of the kwajalina toll here

157
00:05:49,670 --> 00:05:47,680
early next year commercial crew is a

158
00:05:52,070 --> 00:05:49,680
little closer to home

159
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:52,080
our mission is uh to try to figure out

160
00:05:56,070 --> 00:05:53,440
how we're going to get

161
00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:56,080
humans americans and our partners into

162
00:06:00,309 --> 00:05:58,319
low-earth orbit i'll have some video of

163
00:06:02,309 --> 00:06:00,319
our first flights from kennedy space

164
00:06:03,670 --> 00:06:02,319
center over the space coast in which

165
00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:03,680
we'll be doing some test flights and

166
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:05,039
then eventually going to international

167
00:06:09,909 --> 00:06:07,840
space station a little bit similar to

168
00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:09,919
how the lsp program works which will buy

169
00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:12,160
services that to get our crews the

170
00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:13,919
international space station

171
00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:16,000
expect test flights that have to go into

172
00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:18,080
orbit or test flights that are dealing

173
00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:20,240
with a board capabilities in which you

174
00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:22,160
might want to recover will probably be

175
00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:24,800
from the kennedy space center

176
00:06:27,670 --> 00:06:25,600
so

177
00:06:29,029 --> 00:06:27,680
i expect to see a number of demo and

178
00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:29,039
test flights

179
00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:31,840
through the space coast between the 2013

180
00:06:36,309 --> 00:06:34,479
2014 time frame especially in the 2015

181
00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:36,319
and 2016. the whole idea of the

182
00:06:40,309 --> 00:06:38,800
commercial crew for nasa is that we have

183
00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:40,319
to ensure that we're going to be safe

184
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:42,880
enough to fly not only our

185
00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:45,600
crew but any real astronomer and any

186
00:06:49,749 --> 00:06:47,680
really space participant not just

187
00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:49,759
planning anymore about a year ago we

188
00:06:54,309 --> 00:06:52,240
became a forum program in which we then

189
00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:54,319
initiated our what we call our

190
00:06:58,469 --> 00:06:56,400
commercial crew development number two

191
00:07:00,430 --> 00:06:58,479
effort but in addition to that we've got

192
00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:00,440
a more daunting task which is to make

193
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:03,599
the entire center of the capabilities go

194
00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:05,520
with it attractive to commercial

195
00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:07,280
industry and that's not just the

196
00:07:11,270 --> 00:07:09,120
commercial crew industry that ed spoke

197
00:07:13,029 --> 00:07:11,280
about that has a large range of

198
00:07:15,110 --> 00:07:13,039
commercial capabilities and we're going

199
00:07:16,710 --> 00:07:15,120
to use the assets on the center in order

200
00:07:18,950 --> 00:07:16,720
for us to be successful at it we're

201
00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:18,960
going to have to have to make the assets

202
00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:22,080
and the capabilities we have at ksc

203
00:07:26,150 --> 00:07:23,840
and attractive means affordable

204
00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:26,160
attractive means having a uh

00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:28,319

207
00:07:36,230 --> 00:07:33,919
