all of you for your support of KSC and

55
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:39,260
our nation's space program as we move

56
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:42,890
forward to truly make KSC a 21st century

57
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:46,250
multi-user launch complex partnerships

58
00:03:51,460 --> 00:03:48,050
are going to be one of the keys to our

59
00:03:53,710 --> 00:03:51,470
success and no partnership has been more

60
00:03:57,610 --> 00:03:53,720
critical than the one we have with space

61
00:03:59,830 --> 00:03:57,620
Florida that enabled this facility to

62
00:04:05,080 --> 00:03:59,840
become used for the manufacture and test

63
00:04:07,090 --> 00:04:05,090
of Boeing cst-100 spacecraft opf 3 has

64
00:04:09,370 --> 00:04:07,100
had a long and storied history with the

65
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:09,380
space shuttle and it will soon be ready

66
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:11,930
to lead us into the next phase of space

67
00:04:16,950 --> 00:04:14,480
exploration by helping to enable

68
00:04:19,660 --> 00:04:16,960
commercial operations to low-earth orbit

69
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:19,670
commercial operations are vital to our

70
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:22,370
future success as they keep us from

71
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:23,840
being dependent on our Russian partners

72
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:25,970
to deliver our crews to the

73
00:04:35,310 --> 00:04:28,490
International Space Station and bring

74
00:04:41,290 --> 00:04:38,770
KSC is moving forward through our many

75
00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:41,300
partnerships we will enable commercial

76
00:04:45,820 --> 00:04:44,060
space operations while we continue to

77
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:45,830
provide NASA with its expendable launch

78
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:48,170
vehicles that are critical for our

79
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:51,110
science missions and prepare our launch

80
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:54,050
complex and processing facilities for

81
00:04:58,660 --> 00:04:55,850
the arrival of the Orion multi-purpose

82
00:05:01,090 --> 00:04:58,670
crew vehicle and the Space Launch System

83
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:01,100
our heavy lift rocket that will once

84
00:05:06,610 --> 00:05:03,530
again allow us to explore beyond our

85
00:05:10,450 --> 00:05:06,620
home planet I'd like to thank everyone

86
00:05:13,210 --> 00:05:10,460
who helped make today a reality as KSC

87
00:05:16,690 --> 00:05:13,220
continues to take yet another step into

88
00:05:19,030 --> 00:05:16,700
the future at this time it's my pleasure

89
00:05:29,170 --> 00:05:19,040
to introduce mr. Frank tobillo the

90
00:05:34,580 --> 00:05:32,450
thank you all and welcome and thank you

91
00:05:37,730 --> 00:05:34,590
Bob for your kind words and dispensed

92
00:05:38,990 --> 00:05:37,740
especially for your friendship on the

93
00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:39,000
partnership journey that were on

94
00:05:44,210 --> 00:05:41,910
together this is truly an historic

95
00:05:46,460 --> 00:05:44,220
occasion which marks the beginning of a

96
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:46,470
new era in the evolution of this

97
00:05:51,230 --> 00:05:48,450
national asset that we call the Kennedy

98
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:51,240
Space Center today we celebrate the

99
00:05:56,170 --> 00:05:53,490
completion of an agreement which grant

100
00:05:59,120 --> 00:05:56,180
space Florida access to this historic

101
00:06:01,840 --> 00:05:59,130
facility that we all recognize played

102
00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:01,850
such an important role in times past and

103
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:04,800
which will be repurposed to become a

104
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:06,710
visible an important part of our future

105
00:06:12,620 --> 00:06:08,850
it is the beginning of a partnership

106
00:06:15,020 --> 00:06:12,630
journey which we hope will lead to a

107
00:06:18,020 --> 00:06:15,030
future development concept for this

108
00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:18,030
national asset as a multi-use capability

109
00:06:22,460 --> 00:06:19,710
that will ensure the nation and

110
00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:22,470
Florida's continued leadership and man's

111
00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:25,110
based exploration activities the state

112
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:27,120
of Florida is very proud to be a partner

113
00:06:32,750 --> 00:06:30,090
in that journey it is also no

114
00:06:35,810 --> 00:06:32,760
coincidence that I am standing sort of

115
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:35,820
in the middle between the NASA logo and

116
00:06:41,330 --> 00:06:38,130
that of the company and that space

117
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:41,340
Florida's Center to this this

118
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:42,960
achievement today represents the best

119
00:06:48,110 --> 00:06:45,570
example of why space Florida was created

120
00:06:51,050 --> 00:06:48,120
and this event celebrates what can be

121
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:51,060
achieved through partnership when NASA

122
00:06:55,940 --> 00:06:53,010
the state and private sector work

123
00:06:58,280 --> 00:06:55,950
together toward a common goal today we

124
00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:58,290
also though celebrate the future of

125
00:07:03,860 --> 00:07:00,720
America's manned space program through

126
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:03,870
the partnership based evolution of our

127
00:07:10,010 --> 00:07:05,730
nation's commercial space capabilities

128
00:07:12,170 --> 00:07:10,020
as you can see to your right and to your

129
00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:12,180
left boeing has already been working

130
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:13,680
hard to develop a very exciting

131
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:16,410
component to NASA's next generation

132
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:18,810
manned spaceflight program and we

133
00:07:22,790 --> 00:07:21,450
applaud their decision to locate their

134
00:07:25,670 --> 00:07:22,800
Commercial Crew headquarters and

135
00:07:27,890 --> 00:07:25,680
manufacturing capability here in Florida

136
00:07:30,490 --> 00:07:27,900
which will continue to be the center of

137
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:30,500
the nation's manned space activities

138
00:07:35,330 --> 00:07:32,970
before I introduce one of Boeing's key

139
00:07:37,580 --> 00:07:35,340
leaders for this project I'd like to

140
00:07:40,010 --> 00:07:37,590
extend my sincere appreciation on behalf

141
00:07:41,790 --> 00:07:40,020
of the state of Florida to the White

142
00:07:44,219 --> 00:07:41,800
House certainly which has stood saw

143
00:07:46,050 --> 00:07:44,229
early in support of the evolution of the

144
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:46,060
nation's commercial space capabilities

145
00:07:51,749 --> 00:07:49,120
and especially to the NASA leadership

146
00:07:54,180 --> 00:07:51,759
team at headquarters to deputy

147
00:07:58,020 --> 00:07:54,190
administrator lori garver who was an old

148
00:08:00,869 --> 00:07:58,030
friend actually a young old friend and

149
00:08:02,939 --> 00:08:00,879
also to Bob Cabana Ana's staff for their

150
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:02,949
patience and hard work and driving this

151
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:05,110
agreement through its journey to

152
00:08:11,460 --> 00:08:07,810
approval thanks to your unrelenting

153
00:08:14,279 --> 00:08:11,470
interest in seeing vital KSC assets

154
00:08:16,980 --> 00:08:14,289
utilized to their fullest potential this

155
00:08:18,719 --> 00:08:16,990
community will now have the opportunity

156
00:08:20,909 --> 00:08:18,729
to witness a key component of our

157
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:20,919
country space future the commercial

158
00:08:25,830 --> 00:08:23,110
strace space transportation component

159
00:08:27,390 --> 00:08:25,840
that is absolutely required for support

160
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:27,400
of the international space station and

161
00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:29,710
we will watch that evolve right here in

162
00:08:36,509 --> 00:08:33,760
Florida but we recognize that the White

163
00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:36,519
House and NASA cannot do this alone the

164
00:08:41,190 --> 00:08:38,320
future of the nation's commercial space

165
00:08:43,769 --> 00:08:41,200
capabilities rests in the hands of many

166
00:08:46,130 --> 00:08:43,779
others who must come together and

167
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:46,140
support of these critical capabilities

168
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:49,510
only the Congress can determine when we

169
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:52,000
will stop the investment of our nation's

170
00:08:56,340 --> 00:08:54,370
tax dollars into the purchase of

171
00:08:59,490 --> 00:08:56,350
continued space transportation service

172
00:09:02,130 --> 00:08:59,500
from the Russians and invest instead to

173
00:09:04,980 --> 00:09:02,140
develop u.s. workforce and commercial

174
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:04,990
industry capabilities it's a national

175
00:09:09,510 --> 00:09:07,450
imperative that we have a strong

176
00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:09,520
commercial space capability in our

177
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:12,310
industry to stand alongside the nation's

178
00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:15,130
civil space exploration program led by

179
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:18,310
NASA we can no longer afford to be at

180
00:09:22,889 --> 00:09:21,010
risk of a single point failure as we

181
00:09:26,250 --> 00:09:22,899
strive to utilize the world's greatest

182
00:09:28,189 --> 00:09:26,260
engineering achievement a body'd rather

183
00:09:30,530 --> 00:09:28,199
and the International Space Station and

184
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:30,540
we need commercial space transportation

185
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:33,730
transportation capabilities sooner

186
00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:37,930
rather than later 2018 is unacceptable

187
00:09:42,329 --> 00:09:39,910
for us to have the best chance of

188
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:42,339
gaining a return on investment from the

189
00:09:47,370 --> 00:09:45,310
ISS for the nation's citizens taxpayers

190
00:09:49,740 --> 00:09:47,380
who paid almost a hundred billion

191
00:09:52,110 --> 00:09:49,750
dollars to build it adequate and timely

192
00:09:54,860 --> 00:09:52,120
investment investment by congressional

193
00:09:56,329 --> 00:09:54,870
leadership is a requirement

194
00:09:58,760 --> 00:09:56,339
and we think the administration's budget

195
00:10:02,360 --> 00:09:58,770
request for commercial crew should be

196
00:10:04,810 --> 00:10:02,370
fully supported by placing some of the

197
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:04,820
onus of responsibility on the Congress I

198
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:07,050
would be remiss if I didn't also

199
00:10:11,780 --> 00:10:09,290
recognize the hard work and support

200
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:11,790
provided by the Florida delegation and

201
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:15,210
especially thank US senators bill nelson

203
00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:22,380
to make this day possible i would also

204
00:10:27,019 --> 00:10:24,300
say senator nelson without your

205
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:27,029
significant achievement in the unanimous

206
00:10:31,370 --> 00:10:29,130
passage of the nasa authorization bill

207
00:10:41,870 --> 00:10:31,380
we would not have reached this event

208
00:10:46,290 --> 00:10:44,550
we are excited about the potential for

209
00:10:48,750 --> 00:10:46,300
this facility and Boeing's newest

210
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:48,760
florida-based initiatives and we

211
00:10:53,310 --> 00:10:51,490

213
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:55,510
delegation in enabling these events and

214
00:11:00,390 --> 00:10:57,850
that certainly includes some of our most

215
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:00,400

216
00:11:11,850 --> 00:11:02,710

262
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:09,570
not have been possible from a local

role please join me in welcoming john l

341
00:16:45,870 --> 00:16:42,300
thank you Frank good morning what a

342
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:45,880
great venue this is it really

343
00:16:50,430 --> 00:16:48,610
underscores the inflection point that

344
00:16:54,630 --> 00:16:50,440
our human spaceflight program is going

345
00:16:57,180 --> 00:16:54,640
through and the access stands behind the

346
00:17:00,690 --> 00:16:57,190
stage you can see the outline of the

347
00:17:04,260 --> 00:17:00,700
space shuttle and it's so it's a strong

348
00:17:06,449 --> 00:17:04,270
reminder of the recent past when you

349
00:17:09,740 --> 00:17:06,459
enter this building and see it it kind

350
00:17:11,699 --> 00:17:09,750
of causes a twinge of sadness I think

351
00:17:14,189 --> 00:17:11,709
shuttle was a great engineering

352
00:17:17,819 --> 00:17:14,199
achievement and an incredibly capable

353
00:17:20,270 --> 00:17:17,829
vehicle it was the workhorse that we use

354
00:17:23,309 --> 00:17:20,280
to build the International Space Station

355
00:17:25,890 --> 00:17:23,319
but it was also expensive to operate and

356
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:25,900
continuing with it as our transportation

357
00:17:29,790 --> 00:17:27,910
system to the International Space

358
00:17:31,710 --> 00:17:29,800
Station would have left little funding

359
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:31,720
and NASA's budget to develop

360
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:34,330
capabilities for the next steps in human

361
00:17:40,050 --> 00:17:38,050
exploration of the solar system if we're

362
00:17:42,630 --> 00:17:40,060
going to fund we're going to find a way

363
00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:42,640
to fund exploration beyond the vicinity

364
00:17:48,390 --> 00:17:46,000
of Earth low-earth orbit particularly in

365
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:48,400
today's fiscally constrained environment

366
00:17:52,890 --> 00:17:51,010
we've got to find a way to do the job of

367
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:52,900
transporting crew to the International

368
00:17:57,510 --> 00:17:54,310
Space Station in a more affordable

369
00:17:59,930 --> 00:17:57,520
manner that's one of the primary

370
00:18:02,550 --> 00:17:59,940
purposes of the Commercial Crew program

371
00:18:05,220 --> 00:18:02,560
to provide affordable access to

372
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:05,230
low-earth orbit so that we can use the

373
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:07,570
International Space Station as the great

374
00:18:14,250 --> 00:18:10,930
laboratory it is realize the return on

375
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:14,260
the investment made by the world and at

376
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:16,510
the same time have funds within NASA's

377
00:18:21,090 --> 00:18:18,490
budget for development of capabilities

378
00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:21,100
like the Space Launch System in the

379
00:18:27,330 --> 00:18:23,440
multi-purpose crew vehicle for the next

380
00:18:30,030 --> 00:18:27,340
phases of exploration we also hope that

381
00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:30,040
provide by providing safe reliable and

382
00:18:35,340 --> 00:18:32,320
affordable transportation to low-earth

383
00:18:38,550 --> 00:18:35,350
orbit that will enable new markets to

384
00:18:40,860 --> 00:18:38,560
develop markets such as those described

385
00:18:43,410 --> 00:18:40,870
by space adventures the company that

386
00:18:45,260 --> 00:18:43,420
brokered the flight they set at eight

387
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:45,270
flights of private spaceflight

388
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:48,110
participants on Soyuz capsules to

389
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:51,170
International Space Station and also by

390
00:18:57,010 --> 00:18:53,090
Bigelow Aerospace who's developing the

391
00:18:59,710 --> 00:18:57,020
Bigelow space complex as those markets

392
00:19:02,380 --> 00:18:59,720
mature in the flight rate for Commercial

393
00:19:04,030 --> 00:19:02,390
Crew increases the economies of scale

394
00:19:05,980 --> 00:19:04,040
will make the cost of NASA's

395
00:19:08,260 --> 00:19:05,990
transportation to ISS even more

396
00:19:10,630 --> 00:19:08,270
affordable and will free up even more

397
00:19:13,410 --> 00:19:10,640
funding within NASA's budget for

398
00:19:16,060 --> 00:19:13,420
exploration beyond the vicinity of Earth

399
00:19:18,340 --> 00:19:16,070
from the beginning bonus view Commercial

400
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:18,350
Crew this way not as a competitor with

401
00:19:24,850 --> 00:19:21,770
systems like sls and MPCV but as a

402
00:19:27,970 --> 00:19:24,860
complementary enabler of a bold plan for

403
00:19:29,409 --> 00:19:27,980
exploration beyond low Earth orbit for

404
00:19:31,659 --> 00:19:29,419
these reasons we're excited about the

405
00:19:34,030 --> 00:19:31,669
progress today's announcements represent

406
00:19:38,620 --> 00:19:34,040
and look forward to an exciting future

407
00:19:40,659 --> 00:19:38,630
for cst-100 the people on the platform

408
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:40,669
here today have played a big role in

409
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:43,250
getting us to this point and on behalf

410
00:19:49,390 --> 00:19:46,370
of Boeing I'd like to add my thanks to

411
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:49,400
those of Frank's first deputy

412
00:19:54,940 --> 00:19:52,130
administrator lori garver lori has taken

413
00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:54,950
real ownership and has a passion for the

414
00:20:01,960 --> 00:19:58,450
Commercial Crew program as we worked as

415
00:20:04,330 --> 00:20:01,970
Frank worked to broker the arrangement

416
00:20:06,549 --> 00:20:04,340
between NASA and Boeing so that this

417
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:06,559
facility could be made available she

418
00:20:11,740 --> 00:20:08,809
took real ownership of that and worked

419
00:20:15,370 --> 00:20:11,750
it through NASA headquarters enabling us

420
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:15,380
to be here today Center Director Bob

421
00:20:24,430 --> 00:20:18,710
Cabana since the start of this

422
00:20:26,110 --> 00:20:24,440
transition has leaned forward nothing

423
00:20:28,539 --> 00:20:26,120
like this happens without support from

424
00:20:30,730 --> 00:20:28,549
the top in the center in the local area

425
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:30,740
are really fortunate to have Bob as the

426
00:20:36,909 --> 00:20:33,290
leader as he embraces the future in the

427
00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:36,919
path forward Frank de bello just spoke

428
00:20:41,409 --> 00:20:39,200
he's worked tires tirelessly as the

429
00:20:43,299 --> 00:20:41,419
broker to make today happen his

430
00:20:44,980 --> 00:20:43,309
understanding of government and business

431
00:20:47,169 --> 00:20:44,990
make him the ideal person to put

432
00:20:49,630 --> 00:20:47,179
together an agreement that can work in a

433
00:20:53,650 --> 00:20:49,640
commercial environment and still satisfy

434
00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:53,660
government regulations senator Nelson

435
00:20:58,210 --> 00:20:55,520
could be called the architect of our new

436
00:21:00,250 --> 00:20:58,220
human spaceflight program while others

437
00:21:00,540 --> 00:21:00,260
were arguing their parochial views of

438
00:21:03,060 --> 00:21:00,550
which

439
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:03,070
direction we should go senator Nelson

440
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:05,890
stood up as a true leader worked hard to

441
00:21:10,290 --> 00:21:08,010
understand all the perspectives and

442
00:21:13,110 --> 00:21:10,300
crafted the compromise that became the

443
00:21:15,510 --> 00:21:13,120
Senate authorization act without the

444
00:21:17,010 --> 00:21:15,520
Senators leadership I'm not sure the

445
00:21:20,180 --> 00:21:17,020
deadlock would have been broken and we

446
00:21:22,230 --> 00:21:20,190
might still not have a path forward

447
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:22,240
representatives Posey and atoms or

448
00:21:26,670 --> 00:21:24,010
staunch supporters of human spaceflight

449
00:21:28,890 --> 00:21:26,680
and great advocates for this area their

450
00:21:32,310 --> 00:21:28,900
leadership in Congress has been critical

451
00:21:33,930 --> 00:21:32,320
to sustaining momentum Governor Scott

452
00:21:35,670 --> 00:21:33,940
lieutenant governor Carroll have been

453
00:21:37,530 --> 00:21:35,680
instrumental in creating an attractive

454
00:21:39,930 --> 00:21:37,540
environment for business across the

455
00:21:41,970 --> 00:21:39,940
state in particular their support for

456
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:41,980
funding space Florida is a big reason

457
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:44,410
why we're able to be here today making

458
00:21:48,750 --> 00:21:46,810
these announcements it takes great

459
00:21:50,820 --> 00:21:48,760
leadership to make new things happen and

460
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:50,830
we certainly blessed with that on this

461
00:22:01,510 --> 00:21:53,530
stage today a big round of applause for

462
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:03,440
now I'd like to introduce John

463
00:22:07,690 --> 00:22:05,850
Mulholland John is boeing's program

464
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:07,700
manager for the Commercial Crew program

465
00:22:11,570 --> 00:22:09,810
prior to that he managed our

466
00:22:13,820 --> 00:22:11,580
participation in the space shuttle

467
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:13,830
program and so he brings with him a

468
00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:16,290
discipline and an understanding of the

469
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:18,180
challenges that it takes to make human

470
00:22:23,770 --> 00:22:21,930
spaceflight safe reliable that's

471
00:22:26,030 --> 00:22:23,780
important as we move to a moral

472
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:26,040
environment for transporting humans to

473
00:22:31,220 --> 00:22:29,010
space where because if we lose sight of

474
00:22:33,950 --> 00:22:31,230
the rigor required to insert ensure

475
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:33,960
those safe and reliable operations it

476
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:36,530
won't work as effectively as it needs to

477
00:22:50,690 --> 00:22:48,810
John will ensure that that happens thank

478
00:22:52,550 --> 00:22:50,700
you John good morning and welcome to

479
00:22:55,940 --> 00:22:52,560
Boeing's Commercial Crew celebration

480
00:22:57,650 --> 00:22:55,950
before I make our announcement I'd like

481
00:22:59,720 --> 00:22:57,660
to again thank all of our distinguished

482
00:23:03,260 --> 00:22:59,730
guests as well as my teammates and

483
00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:03,270
customers for your support not only for

484
00:23:07,220 --> 00:23:05,520
commercial crew but for everything you

485
00:23:10,190 --> 00:23:07,230
do to enable the future of human space

486
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:10,200
exploration this will ensure the United

487
00:23:15,410 --> 00:23:12,090
States remains the leader in space

488
00:23:17,180 --> 00:23:15,420
science and technology for more than 50

489
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:17,190
years boeing has worked side by side

490
00:23:23,180 --> 00:23:20,310
with NASA to design develop manufacture

491
00:23:26,650 --> 00:23:23,190
and operate human and robotic space

492
00:23:28,490 --> 00:23:26,660
vehicles including Mercury Gemini Apollo

493
00:23:31,910 --> 00:23:28,500
space shuttle and the International

494
00:23:35,180 --> 00:23:31,920
Space Station our commercial crew team

495
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:35,190
is focused on leveraging this unique

496
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:37,770
human spaceflight legacy coupled with

497
00:23:42,410 --> 00:23:40,050
bringing an innovative design

498
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:42,420
manufacturing and operations approaches

499
00:23:46,460 --> 00:23:44,730
from across the Boeing portfolio

500
00:23:49,610 --> 00:23:46,470
including commercial spacecraft

501
00:23:53,420 --> 00:23:49,620
commercial aircraft and DOD fixed-wing

502
00:23:55,010 --> 00:23:53,430
and rotary aircraft as we continue to

503
00:23:57,590 --> 00:23:55,020
use the International Space Station's

504
00:23:58,970 --> 00:23:57,600
outstanding research capabilities we

505
00:24:01,340 --> 00:23:58,980
also realize that we are in the

506
00:24:04,460 --> 00:24:01,350
unfortunate position of having a single

507
00:24:06,770 --> 00:24:04,470
fault tolerant access for crew to the

508
00:24:09,230 --> 00:24:06,780
International Space Station with the

509
00:24:11,180 --> 00:24:09,240
partnership of NASA and adequate funding

510
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:11,190
from Congress we can deliver a

511
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:13,570
commercial crew transportation system

512
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:15,970
to the international space station that

513
00:24:22,410 --> 00:24:18,610
is safe affordable reliable and

514
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:22,420
available in 2015 today I'm happy to

515
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:24,010
announce that the boeing company has

516
00:24:38,730 --> 00:24:26,290
selected Florida for its Commercial Crew

517
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:42,280
in addition we plan to manufacture tests

518
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:45,170
and operate Boeing cst-100 in this

519
00:24:51,570 --> 00:24:48,770
facility opf 3 and we will launch from

520
00:24:54,250 --> 00:24:51,580
right here on Florida's Space Coast

521
00:24:56,050 --> 00:24:54,260
Florida selection made sense because of

522
00:24:58,720 --> 00:24:56,060
the business business advantages

523
00:25:00,970 --> 00:24:58,730
achieved with colocation the skilled

524
00:25:03,610 --> 00:25:00,980
local workforce the outstanding

525
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:03,620
facilities and the proximity of our NASA

526
00:25:08,170 --> 00:25:06,170
customer Boeing's Commercial Crew

527
00:25:10,270 --> 00:25:08,180
program will create high technology jobs

528
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:10,280
using the experience space exploration

529
00:25:15,700 --> 00:25:13,090
workforce we have in this country in

530
00:25:18,970 --> 00:25:15,710
Florida when we reach full operations in

531
00:25:21,930 --> 00:25:18,980
2015 we project our local workforce will

532
00:25:24,370 --> 00:25:21,940
grow to approximately 550 employees as

533
00:25:27,580 --> 00:25:24,380
part of our ongoing development effort

534
00:25:30,010 --> 00:25:27,590
under the National nasha NASA Commercial

535
00:25:31,990 --> 00:25:30,020
Crew development space act agreement we

536
00:25:35,130 --> 00:25:32,000
will soon begin opf 3 building

537
00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:35,140
modifications and production outfitting

538
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:37,130
this program would not have been

539
00:25:41,350 --> 00:25:38,810
possible without the involvement of

540
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:41,360
numerous individuals and organizations I

541
00:25:47,220 --> 00:25:43,730

exploration I know we're all working

550
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:07,970
very hard at the opportunity to once

551
00:26:12,070 --> 00:26:10,250
again provide a united states capability

552
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:12,080
to launch crew to the International

space industry here on the Space Coast

584
00:27:45,529 --> 00:27:42,039
long before the final space shuttle

585
00:27:48,269 --> 00:27:45,539
flight landed here at Kennedy on july

586
00:27:51,269 --> 00:27:48,279

historic center kennedy and the entire

590
00:28:02,399 --> 00:27:59,289
Space Coast have been synonymous with

591
00:28:04,620 --> 00:28:02,409
NASA's historic 30-year shuttle program

592
00:28:07,019 --> 00:28:04,630
as well as America's first 50 years in

593
00:28:08,639 --> 00:28:07,029
human space flight and the government

594
00:28:11,490 --> 00:28:08,649
and an agreement that we've reached

595
00:28:13,950 --> 00:28:11,500
today with spaceport Florida will help

596
00:28:15,990 --> 00:28:13,960
set up an even brighter future it's a

597
00:28:17,549 --> 00:28:16,000
major boost to NASA's development of a

598
00:28:20,009 --> 00:28:17,559
u.s. Commercial Crew space

599
00:28:23,639 --> 00:28:20,019
transportation capability to achieve

Earth orbit destinations

604
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:32,470
it's a major boost to the local economy

605
00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:34,510
here because it's going to create jobs

606
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:36,130
and ensure that Florida's Space Coast

607
00:28:41,310 --> 00:28:39,370
remain strong and vibrant so thank you

sitting member of Congress who have

615
00:28:59,580 --> 00:28:56,590
flown in space seren Bill Nelson was a

616
00:29:01,860 --> 00:28:59,590
payload specialist on the 1986 space

617
00:29:05,250 --> 00:29:01,870
shuttle Columbia flight happened to have

618
00:29:07,380 --> 00:29:05,260

missions strategy and resources continue

622
00:29:16,410 --> 00:29:14,380
to push the boundaries of the possible

623
00:29:19,650 --> 00:29:16,420
while spurring job growth and economic

624
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:19,660
development here on the Space Coast as

625
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:22,690
John said we really owe this common path

626
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:24,490
forward to Senator Nelson and we thank

627
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:32,970
I also want to thank Governor Rick Scott

628
00:29:37,289 --> 00:29:35,170
for working to ensure the Florida

629
00:29:38,549 --> 00:29:37,299

630
00:29:40,530 --> 00:29:38,559
historic achievements in space

631
00:29:43,110 --> 00:29:40,540
exploration you and Lieutenant Governor

632
00:29:45,510 --> 00:29:43,120
Carroll have recognized and embraced the

633
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:45,520
ambitious path for the president obama

634
00:29:50,310 --> 00:29:48,130
and congress of setteth on and together

635
00:29:58,590 --> 00:29:50,320
we're going to win the future right here

636
00:30:00,570 --> 00:29:58,600
in florida and we're so proud to partner

637
00:30:02,580 --> 00:30:00,580
with space Florida and Boeing in the

638
00:30:04,530 --> 00:30:02,590
milestone agreement to bolster the

639
00:30:06,930 --> 00:30:04,540
rapidly expanding commercial space

640
00:30:09,419 --> 00:30:06,940
industry and bring new jobs to the Space

641
00:30:11,460 --> 00:30:09,429
Coast so if anyone had any doubt the

642
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:11,470
Kennedy Space Center would remain open

643
00:30:15,450 --> 00:30:13,450
for business this new agreement allowing

644
00:30:17,370 --> 00:30:15,460
space Florida to lay the groundwork for

645
00:30:20,909 --> 00:30:17,380
a world-class commercial space industry

646
00:30:22,590 --> 00:30:20,919
here should put that notion to rest but

647
00:30:24,780 --> 00:30:22,600
even before we form this new partnership

648
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:24,790
the Obama administration recognized how

649
00:30:29,820 --> 00:30:27,370
important the Space Coast is a center of

650
00:30:32,580 --> 00:30:29,830
environmental entrepreneurial and

651
00:30:35,490 --> 00:30:32,590
spaceflight innovation the president is

652
00:30:37,620 --> 00:30:35,500
backing that up with smart investments

653
00:30:40,409 --> 00:30:37,630
just recently the Commerce Department

654
00:30:42,270 --> 00:30:40,419
awarded 1.7 million dollar green

655
00:30:44,220 --> 00:30:42,280
challenge grant to the University of

656
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:44,230
Central Florida to support the

657
00:30:47,669 --> 00:30:45,970
university's efforts at driving

658
00:30:49,980 --> 00:30:47,679
technology commercialization and

659
00:30:53,190 --> 00:30:49,990
entrepreneurship to grow a green

660
00:30:54,780 --> 00:30:53,200
innovation economy Commerce's economic

661
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:54,790
development administration also recently

662
00:30:59,280 --> 00:30:57,130
awarded 2.8 million dollar grant to the

663
00:31:01,110 --> 00:30:59,290
city of Palm Bay Florida to make

664
00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:01,120
critical roadway infrastructure

665
00:31:05,730 --> 00:31:02,710
improvements needed to help a major

666
00:31:08,010 --> 00:31:05,740
local employer harris corporation expand

667
00:31:10,289 --> 00:31:08,020
its operations the project is expected

668
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:10,299
to create a hundred and eighty jobs and

669
00:31:15,150 --> 00:31:12,730
generate 100 million dollars in private

670
00:31:17,190 --> 00:31:15,160
investment the city of Titusville was

671
00:31:18,980 --> 00:31:17,200
just awarded 2.1 million dollar job

672
00:31:22,980 --> 00:31:18,990
accelerator award through space Florida

673
00:31:25,530 --> 00:31:22,990
so as today's event confirms the

674
00:31:28,980 --> 00:31:25,540
administration's decision to turn Trent

675
00:31:31,380 --> 00:31:28,990
the to transport astronauts and cargo to

676
00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:31,390
the International Space Station over to

677
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:33,360
our Commercial Crew partners is also

678
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:36,250
reaping big dividends for the Space

679
00:31:40,590 --> 00:31:38,650
Coast at the president's direction we're

680
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:40,600
engaging American companies in this work

681
00:31:45,530 --> 00:31:43,110
so that NASA can focus on what

682
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:45,540
we do best developing that next

683
00:31:50,780 --> 00:31:48,450
generation rocket and capsule system for

684
00:31:53,930 --> 00:31:50,790
human spaceflights to deep space

685
00:31:58,100 --> 00:31:53,940
destinations where we have never been

686
00:32:00,890 --> 00:31:58,110
before but not only did we have only a

687
00:32:04,820 --> 00:32:00,900
single point foreign access to the space

688
00:32:06,950 --> 00:32:04,830
station with our former plan in the past

689
00:32:10,100 --> 00:32:06,960
administration but we wouldn't have even

690
00:32:12,140 --> 00:32:10,110
had the space station had we not been

691
00:32:14,450 --> 00:32:12,150
able to extend its operations as the

692
00:32:17,090 --> 00:32:14,460
President did and the Congress confirm

693
00:32:18,710 --> 00:32:17,100
in their budget we now have extended the

694
00:32:21,620 --> 00:32:18,720
operation of the space station to at

695
00:32:23,419 --> 00:32:21,630
least 2020 which again means jobs in

696
00:32:26,180 --> 00:32:23,429
Central Florida for processing equipment

697
00:32:29,020 --> 00:32:26,190
and supplies to the ISS as well as

698
00:32:31,250 --> 00:32:29,030
future launches of both cargo and crew

699
00:32:33,710 --> 00:32:31,260
so with the president support NASA

700
00:32:35,950 --> 00:32:33,720
established the Commercial Crew office

701
00:32:38,299 --> 00:32:35,960
right here at the Kennedy Space Center

702
00:32:40,159 --> 00:32:38,309
to manage our commercial space

703
00:32:42,830 --> 00:32:40,169
activities that will be critical to the

704
00:32:46,340 --> 00:32:42,840
nation's space flight in President's

705
00:32:49,159 --> 00:32:46,350
budget requests next year we include 850

706
00:32:51,590 --> 00:32:49,169
million dollars for this program the

707
00:32:53,060 --> 00:32:51,600
president's budget also recommends

708
00:32:56,510 --> 00:32:53,070
funding to modernize the launch

709
00:32:59,570 --> 00:32:56,520
infrastructure here at KSC and for the

710
00:33:02,480 --> 00:32:59,580
FAA's commercial space flight center so

711
00:33:04,909 --> 00:33:02,490
the Space Coast is certainly high on the

712
00:33:07,430 --> 00:33:04,919
administration's agenda and while some

713
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:07,440
have been slow to embrace the progress

714
00:33:12,830 --> 00:33:09,690
that we all want to make here in Florida

715
00:33:14,810 --> 00:33:12,840
we can't wait for progress when American

716
00:33:16,940 --> 00:33:14,820
jobs are at stake and the United States

717
00:33:19,850 --> 00:33:16,950
leadership in space is being challenged

718
00:33:22,010 --> 00:33:19,860
by other countries America has been the

719
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:22,020
world leader in space exploration for

720
00:33:26,810 --> 00:33:24,570
more than 50 years and if we stick to

721
00:33:29,180 --> 00:33:26,820
the ambitious plan laid out by the

722
00:33:32,450 --> 00:33:29,190
President and Congress we will remain

723
00:33:34,010 --> 00:33:32,460
the leader for the next half century the

724
00:33:36,140 --> 00:33:34,020
agreement being announced today is the

725
00:33:37,909 --> 00:33:36,150
latest sign of tangible progress as

726
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:37,919
Kennedy transitions from a government

727
00:33:43,580 --> 00:33:41,130
only launch complex to a multi-user

728
00:33:45,710 --> 00:33:43,590
spaceport it's also part of a larger

729
00:33:47,630 --> 00:33:45,720
commitment on the part of NASA and the

730
00:33:49,250 --> 00:33:47,640
Obama administration to bring jobs and

731
00:33:51,980 --> 00:33:49,260
economic development to the Space Coast

732
00:33:55,430 --> 00:33:51,990
by building on all of Kennedy's

733
00:33:57,650 --> 00:33:55,440
world class launch capabilities just

734
00:34:00,350 --> 00:33:57,660
three weeks ago administrator Bolden was

735
00:34:01,970 --> 00:34:00,360
here to tour the new mobile launcher

736
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:01,980
that will be used to launch our new

737
00:34:07,820 --> 00:34:05,130
deep-space exploration vehicle to an

738
00:34:10,430 --> 00:34:07,830
asteroid back to the moon and onto Mars

739
00:34:12,530 --> 00:34:10,440
work is also continuing here on the

740
00:34:14,990 --> 00:34:12,540
Orion spacecraft the next vehicle in

741
00:34:17,330 --> 00:34:15,000
which astronauts will travel again

742
00:34:19,010 --> 00:34:17,340
beyond low-earth orbit and we have

743
00:34:20,750 --> 00:34:19,020
supplemented our agreements with Boeing

744
00:34:22,220 --> 00:34:20,760
and other commercial partners who are

745
00:34:24,109 --> 00:34:22,230
making great strides toward the

746
00:34:29,379 --> 00:34:24,119
capabilities to reach low Earth orbit

747
00:34:31,550 --> 00:34:29,389
and the ISS the agreement we have with

748
00:34:34,220 --> 00:34:31,560
that we're announcing today with space

749
00:34:36,649 --> 00:34:34,230
Florida is that important step in our

750
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:36,659
efforts to make the best use of Kennedy

751
00:34:41,540 --> 00:34:40,050
Space Center's world-class assets bring

752
00:34:43,369 --> 00:34:41,550
other potential partnerships with

753
00:34:45,350 --> 00:34:43,379
commercial and government entities for

754
00:34:47,629 --> 00:34:45,360
space related uses of facilities and

755
00:34:49,190 --> 00:34:47,639
assets here as well so these

756
00:34:51,770 --> 00:34:49,200
partnerships provide avenues for

757
00:34:53,990 --> 00:34:51,780
sustaining the skilled workforce that we

758
00:34:56,270 --> 00:34:54,000
have at kennedy which is critical to

759
00:34:59,780 --> 00:34:56,280
helping us take the next big leap in

760
00:35:02,330 --> 00:34:59,790
human space exploration so again thank

not only strengthened space Florida and

767
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:18,060
Boeing but it's a clear sign NASA will

768
00:35:23,420 --> 00:35:20,730
continue to be an engine of growth for

769
00:35:25,970 --> 00:35:23,430
jobs and economic development for

770
00:35:27,820 --> 00:35:25,980

can say jobs are going to be created in

00:36:12,180 --> 00:36:10,140
Florida's 24th district is a good day

784
00:36:14,940 --> 00:36:12,190
Speight Florida's Space Coast has

785
00:36:16,550 --> 00:36:14,950
experienced devastating job losses since

786
00:36:18,870 --> 00:36:16,560
the ending of the space shuttle program

787
00:36:20,580 --> 00:36:18,880
so the announcement today that the

788
00:36:22,770 --> 00:36:20,590
boeing company plans to locate its

789
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:22,780
Commercial Crew program headquarters

790
00:36:28,860 --> 00:36:25,810
here at Kennedy Space Center is welcomed

791
00:36:31,350 --> 00:36:28,870
news Boeing chose Kennedy Space Center

792
00:36:33,060 --> 00:36:31,360
because it is a world-class launching

793
00:36:35,970 --> 00:36:33,070
and integration facility with the best

794
00:36:38,730 --> 00:36:35,980
technologically equipped assets in the

795
00:36:40,740 --> 00:36:38,740
world so there's no question why boeing

796
00:36:42,830 --> 00:36:40,750
has chosen to have the center of their

797
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:42,840
Commercial Crew program here at Kennedy

798
00:36:47,100 --> 00:36:45,010
additionally they recognize a highly

799
00:36:49,470 --> 00:36:47,110
skilled workforce and synergy that comes

800
00:36:52,260 --> 00:36:49,480
from being locally integrated with your

801
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:52,270
customer Kennedy Space Center Space

802
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:54,850
Center has been the heart of America's

803
00:36:59,820 --> 00:36:57,570
human space exploration for decades

804
00:37:01,560 --> 00:36:59,830
children along the Space Coast have

805
00:37:03,690 --> 00:37:01,570
grown up watching the shuttle launches

806
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:03,700
from their porches and their beachfront

807
00:37:10,830 --> 00:37:08,010
and with the sense of pride and awe I

808
00:37:12,750 --> 00:37:10,840
watched with great sadness with when the

809
00:37:14,700 --> 00:37:12,760
shuttle Atlantis landed last July

810
00:37:17,010 --> 00:37:14,710
knowing that it marked the end of an

811
00:37:18,990 --> 00:37:17,020
error that so greatly to find our

812
00:37:22,710 --> 00:37:19,000
country and more specifically Florida's

813
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:22,720
Space Coast for 30 years America shuttle

814
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:24,370
program has been more than just space

815
00:37:28,950 --> 00:37:27,010
exploration to Florida families it's

816
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:28,960
part of their lives in their history and

817
00:37:34,860 --> 00:37:32,410
their livelihoods but as we close one

818
00:37:37,290 --> 00:37:34,870
chapter of our nation's history we open

819
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:37,300
the other door The Commercial Crew

820
00:37:40,740 --> 00:37:38,890
development program is the best

821
00:37:43,470 --> 00:37:40,750
near-term hope we have of getting

822
00:37:46,170 --> 00:37:43,480
American astronauts on American rockets

823
00:37:48,270 --> 00:37:46,180
built by American Aerospace workforce to

824
00:37:49,710 --> 00:37:48,280
the International Space Station the

825
00:37:51,750 --> 00:37:49,720
recent failure of a Russian

826
00:37:53,339 --> 00:37:51,760
agro mission highlights the problems

827
00:37:56,339 --> 00:37:53,349
associated with reliant on foreign

828
00:37:58,640 --> 00:37:56,349
countries to access the ISS even though

829
00:38:00,960 --> 00:37:58,650
scientists have pinpointed that error

830
00:38:03,839 --> 00:38:00,970
caused on the Russian mission to crash

831
00:38:06,390 --> 00:38:03,849
and the Soyuz has once been again been

832
00:38:07,950 --> 00:38:06,400
qualified for flight the failure still

833
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:07,960
raises serious questions about

834
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:10,810
consistent American access to a vital

835
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:13,810
taxpayer investment countries like China

836
00:38:17,370 --> 00:38:15,490
and India realize the importance of

837
00:38:18,930 --> 00:38:17,380
having access to space and they're

838
00:38:21,330 --> 00:38:18,940
working towards a robust and highly

839
00:38:22,849 --> 00:38:21,340
skilled in space industry as they

840
00:38:26,220 --> 00:38:22,859
continue to chart their own course

841
00:38:29,089 --> 00:38:26,230
America must continue to chart ours so

842
00:38:31,830 --> 00:38:29,099
that we maintain leadership in space as

843
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:31,840
America takes steps towards the next

844
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:33,970
chapter of space exploration it is

845
00:38:38,220 --> 00:38:35,410
imperative that Congress remains

846
00:38:39,930 --> 00:38:38,230
vigilant and it's a in in support of the

847
00:38:42,030 --> 00:38:39,940
efforts of the Commercial Crew and the

848
00:38:43,770 --> 00:38:42,040
cots program it is imperative the

849
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:43,780
Congress ensure that they have the tools

850
00:38:48,060 --> 00:38:45,970
they need to be ready to carry crew to

851
00:38:51,060 --> 00:38:48,070
station as soon as practically possible

852
00:38:53,099 --> 00:38:51,070
without sacrificing safety the boeing

853
00:38:56,430 --> 00:38:53,109
company is helping lead the way in the

854
00:38:58,020 --> 00:38:56,440
next chapter of human space flight and i

855
00:39:00,540 --> 00:38:58,030
am proud that they have chosen our

856
00:39:02,370 --> 00:39:00,550
community for their home america has

857
00:39:04,980 --> 00:39:02,380
this has staked its ground and space

858
00:39:07,260 --> 00:39:04,990
exploration and now is not the time to

859
00:39:16,460 --> 00:39:07,270
lose that ground we must remain

860
00:39:20,970 --> 00:39:18,960
our next speaker is the florida state

are greater and and this is one of those

greater days celebrating a boeing

872
00:39:57,690 --> 00:39:54,670
selection of the Space Coast to develop

873
00:40:00,920 --> 00:39:57,700
their Commercial Crew capability is

874
00:40:03,510 --> 00:40:00,930
extra great The Commercial Crew program

875
00:40:05,700 --> 00:40:03,520
represents our greatest near-term hope

876
00:40:08,010 --> 00:40:05,710
for returning our astronauts to

877
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:08,020
low-earth orbit and the international

878
00:40:19,519 --> 00:40:11,050
space station aboard american-made

879
00:40:26,309 --> 00:40:23,549
this capability will allow NASA to focus

880
00:40:30,299 --> 00:40:26,319
on exploring deeper into our solar

881
00:40:32,460 --> 00:40:30,309
system and beyond the 550 jobs that will

882
00:40:35,940 --> 00:40:32,470
be created right here when the space

883
00:40:38,819 --> 00:40:35,950
cuts are a welcome symbol of great

884
00:40:41,180 --> 00:40:38,829
things yet to come our space code

885
00:40:45,390 --> 00:40:41,190
community has been through a lot a lot

886
00:40:47,789 --> 00:40:45,400
of turmoil passed over the years it's

887
00:40:52,859 --> 00:40:47,799
been tough and the retirement of the

888
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:52,869
shuttle hurt it served as well for 30

889
00:40:58,109 --> 00:40:54,970
years but it was at the end of the

890
00:41:00,329 --> 00:40:58,119
program after all it's been two workers

891
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:00,339
here in the Space Coast who kept our

892
00:41:06,079 --> 00:41:03,250
shuttle flying and made sure that the

893
00:41:09,210 --> 00:41:06,089
last flight was one of the best ever

894
00:41:11,519 --> 00:41:09,220
while commercial while the Commercial

895
00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:11,529
Crew program alone certainly would never

896
00:41:16,589 --> 00:41:14,049
fill the void left by their time of the

897
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:16,599
shovel this announcement serves as

898
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:19,210

00:43:37,670 --> 00:43:33,059
they cut broom straw that naturally

934
00:43:42,710 --> 00:43:37,680
grows in the salt marsh right to the

935
00:43:48,079 --> 00:43:42,720
west and so when I say it's a privilege

936
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:48,089
to come home indeed it is ladies and

937
00:43:57,589 --> 00:43:52,890
gentlemen the dream is alive you look at

938
00:44:00,440 --> 00:43:57,599
what all we've announced here today you

939
00:44:02,990 --> 00:44:00,450
look at the fact that we have a head of

940
00:44:07,610 --> 00:44:03,000
NASA who really knows what

941
00:44:12,140 --> 00:44:07,620
he's doing a deputy that's got fire in

942
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:12,150
the belly and a sinner director here who

943
00:44:22,910 --> 00:44:18,570
is unequal not only in his ability but

944
00:44:27,590 --> 00:44:22,920
in his heart for the people to take care

945
00:44:31,010 --> 00:44:27,600
of his people that's the strength of

946
00:44:33,500 --> 00:44:31,020
this program you all have been very kind

947
00:44:38,390 --> 00:44:33,510
with your comments about me but let me

948
00:44:43,190 --> 00:44:38,400
tell you senator kay bailey hutchinson

949
00:44:45,290 --> 00:44:43,200
of texas she was my partner it's one of

950
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:45,300
the few things that's passed in the last

951
00:44:54,190 --> 00:44:49,290
year and it was passed in a bipartisan

952
00:45:01,280 --> 00:44:54,200
way because of k and me working together

953
00:45:04,250 --> 00:45:01,290
and now we see that we have a program

954
00:45:10,790 --> 00:45:04,260
that the president has for this

955
00:45:16,070 --> 00:45:10,800
commercial program requested 850 million

956
00:45:22,250 --> 00:45:16,080
in fiscal year 2012 for the Commercial

957
00:45:27,110 --> 00:45:22,260
Crew program the house has cut it to 312

958
00:45:31,850 --> 00:45:27,120
million and the Senate along with kay

959
00:45:34,130 --> 00:45:31,860
Barbara Mikulski a number of others has

960
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:34,140
gotten it up to 500 million and of

961
00:45:40,310 --> 00:45:35,610
course you know the financial

962
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:40,320
environment that we're dealing it it's

963
00:45:47,210 --> 00:45:44,610
almost a minor miracle that nASA has not

964
00:45:50,780 --> 00:45:47,220
been cut more in its overall funding

965
00:45:56,650 --> 00:45:50,790
level in the range of close to 18

966
00:45:59,740 --> 00:45:56,660
billion in this fiscal environment and

967
00:46:03,800 --> 00:45:59,750
compared to other agencies nASA has

968
00:46:05,270 --> 00:46:03,810
fared very well in what we have produced

969
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:05,280
out of the Senate Appropriations

970
00:46:13,700 --> 00:46:09,330
Committee to flesh out the NASA bill

971
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:13,710
that sets the course I say the dream is

972
00:46:27,220 --> 00:46:21,320
the closing down of the space shuttle

973
00:46:31,940 --> 00:46:27,230
program was foretold in early January

974
00:46:34,430 --> 00:46:31,950
2003 when we lost Columbia because the

975
00:46:37,310 --> 00:46:34,440
investigation Commission the Admiral

976
00:46:40,430 --> 00:46:37,320
Gehman Commission said that you fly the

977
00:46:44,260 --> 00:46:40,440
space shuttle just as long as you have

978
00:46:47,690 --> 00:46:44,270
to to build the space station and

979
00:46:53,300 --> 00:46:47,700
complete it and then you replace the

980
00:46:56,450 --> 00:46:53,310
shuttle with a safer system and thus

981
00:46:59,870 --> 00:46:56,460
it's no secret that you see a different

982
00:47:03,410 --> 00:46:59,880
design a design that harkens back to the

983
00:47:06,470 --> 00:47:03,420
old days with a capsule that sits on top

984
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:06,480
of the rocket the crew is not on the

985
00:47:15,950 --> 00:47:11,010
side of the rocket and as a result we

986
00:47:19,190 --> 00:47:15,960
have in parallel the program to take

987
00:47:23,870 --> 00:47:19,200
crew and cargo to and from the space

988
00:47:26,990 --> 00:47:23,880
station with the competitors that we're

989
00:47:30,770 --> 00:47:27,000
celebrating today and another that will

990
00:47:34,420 --> 00:47:30,780
launch in January rendezvous and dock

991
00:47:38,420 --> 00:47:34,430
with the space station to deliver cargo

992
00:47:41,660 --> 00:47:38,430
now to get these systems human-rated

993
00:47:45,470 --> 00:47:41,670
with the redundancies and the escape

994
00:47:50,180 --> 00:47:45,480
systems so that we can take human beings

995
00:47:53,270 --> 00:47:50,190
safely into space but in parallel we've

996
00:47:56,210 --> 00:47:53,280
got the big rocket going because NASA

997
00:47:59,870 --> 00:47:56,220
can't stay stuck in low Earth orbit

998
00:48:03,790 --> 00:47:59,880
NASA's got to go out and explore the

999
00:48:07,130 --> 00:48:03,800
heavens which is the mission of NASA and

1000
00:48:11,870 --> 00:48:07,140
because of the shutdown of the space

1001
00:48:15,650 --> 00:48:11,880
shuttle program you go out on the street

1002
00:48:17,240 --> 00:48:15,660
and ask the average American what do you

1003
00:48:19,940 --> 00:48:17,250
think about the space program and

1004
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:19,950
they'll say I'm so sorry it's being shut

1005
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:23,970
down but folks we're just getting it

1006
00:48:37,250 --> 00:48:33,980
this rocket that we celebrate today the

1007
00:48:40,250 --> 00:48:37,260
others that will come the big rocket

1008
00:48:42,530 --> 00:48:40,260
that will take us into low-earth orbit

1009
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:42,540
where we can then assemble the

1010
00:48:49,460 --> 00:48:45,930
components of technology that is yet to

1011
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:49,470
be developed as we venture out into the

1012
00:49:00,650 --> 00:48:56,610
cosmos and at the same time the return

1013
00:49:04,340 --> 00:49:00,660
of the vibrance this marks the beginning

1014
00:49:07,670 --> 00:49:04,350
of the vibrance of the economy of the

1015
00:49:12,290 --> 00:49:07,680
Space Coast the return of new and

1016
00:49:14,990 --> 00:49:12,300
exciting jobs with vistas unknown to be

1017
00:49:17,510 --> 00:49:15,000
explored so that we can get kids excited

1018
00:49:23,650 --> 00:49:17,520
again and they'll be going into

1019
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:23,660
engineering and mathematics and science

1020
00:49:41,409 --> 00:49:28,490
ladies and gentlemen the dream is alive

1021
00:49:45,679 --> 00:49:44,059
next I'd like to introduce our 18th

1022
00:49:47,870 --> 00:49:45,689
lieutenant governor from the great state

1023
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:47,880
of Florida the Honorable Jennifer

1024
00:49:52,159 --> 00:49:50,249
Carroll lieutenant governor Carol serves

1025
00:49:54,439 --> 00:49:52,169
as the chair of space Florida's board of

1026
00:49:56,059 --> 00:49:54,449
directors among her many other duties

1027
00:50:03,939 --> 00:49:56,069
ladies and gentlemen please welcome

1028
00:50:11,209 --> 00:50:07,909
thank you as the chairperson of space

1029
00:50:13,999 --> 00:50:11,219
Florida I would like to give hearty

1030
00:50:16,489 --> 00:50:14,009
congratulations to my president frank de

1031
00:50:18,169 --> 00:50:16,499
bello who worked tirelessly this deal

1032
00:50:22,069 --> 00:50:18,179
was on and off and on and off but

1033
00:50:24,919 --> 00:50:22,079
between the work with NASA and space

1034
00:50:29,179 --> 00:50:24,929
Florida and Boeing were able to now

1035
00:50:33,349 --> 00:50:29,189
craft a lease agreement and an agreement

1036
00:50:35,809 --> 00:50:33,359
that could be placed for other projects

1037
00:50:37,609 --> 00:50:35,819
like this as we move forward so we had

1038
00:50:40,039 --> 00:50:37,619
to get it right do it right and I think

1039
00:50:43,009 --> 00:50:40,049
we have a great template as we move

1040
00:50:45,079 --> 00:50:43,019
forward senator Nelson six months ago I

1041
00:50:48,079 --> 00:50:45,089
was in your office talking about the

1042
00:50:50,689 --> 00:50:48,089
commercial space program and here we are

1043
00:50:53,089 --> 00:50:50,699
today to fruition thank you very much

1044
00:50:55,339 --> 00:50:53,099
and to our congressional members for

1045
00:50:58,009 --> 00:50:55,349
supporting Florida and a space mission

1046
00:50:59,689 --> 00:50:58,019
and I'm glad to hear your commitment to

1047
00:51:01,879 --> 00:50:59,699
moving forward as well as the

1048
00:51:04,309 --> 00:51:01,889
administration's Commission a commitment

1049
00:51:07,189 --> 00:51:04,319
to providing the resources that's

1050
00:51:09,349 --> 00:51:07,199
necessary to put into projects like this

1051
00:51:12,349 --> 00:51:09,359
often times when we see dollars coming

1052
00:51:14,809 --> 00:51:12,359
in people usually don't see the end

1053
00:51:17,299 --> 00:51:14,819
result and everything that we do with

1054
00:51:20,599 --> 00:51:17,309
space Florida the end result is placing

1055
00:51:23,149 --> 00:51:20,609
jobs and as you heard 500 jobs just with

1056
00:51:26,179 --> 00:51:23,159
this utilizing the intellectual capital

1057
00:51:27,829 --> 00:51:26,189
right here at the Space Coast those

1058
00:51:29,629 --> 00:51:27,839
scientists and engineers and technicians

1059
00:51:32,029 --> 00:51:29,639
will be able to come right here and

1060
00:51:33,859 --> 00:51:32,039
operate and work so when we talk about

1061
00:51:35,839 --> 00:51:33,869
the end of the shuttle program senator

1062
00:51:38,659 --> 00:51:35,849
Nelson we talked about the new

1063
00:51:40,579 --> 00:51:38,669
beginnings what we are looking at is

1064
00:51:41,829 --> 00:51:40,589
making sure that we are putting things

1065
00:51:43,849 --> 00:51:41,839
in place for the 21st century

1066
00:51:45,409 --> 00:51:43,859
application that we're not sitting

1067
00:51:47,839 --> 00:51:45,419
around just waiting for someone to tell

1068
00:51:50,179 --> 00:51:47,849
us how Florida should be crafting its

1069
00:51:52,650 --> 00:51:50,189
space and space exploration but we're

1070
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:52,660
moving forward in a proactive way in

1071
00:51:55,529 --> 00:51:53,770
seeking out what are the new

1072
00:51:57,510 --> 00:51:55,539
applications what are the new vehicles

1073
00:52:00,059 --> 00:51:57,520
whether what are the new opportunities

1074
00:52:01,799 --> 00:52:00,069
and deputy administrator Garber please

1075
00:52:03,809 --> 00:52:01,809
tell administrator Bolden I would no

1076
00:52:06,690 --> 00:52:03,819
longer bother him about projects I rose

1077
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:06,700
because we're here now today but I will

1078
00:52:13,230 --> 00:52:08,530
find another project to bother him about

1079
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:13,240
I do want to thank director Cabana you

1080
00:52:16,770 --> 00:52:14,890
have been an absolutely wonderful friend

1081
00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:16,780
and a true partner in this and I thank

1082
00:52:20,130 --> 00:52:18,250
you very much for your commitment and

1083
00:52:22,589 --> 00:52:20,140
support and a hard work that you do here

1084
00:52:24,660 --> 00:52:22,599
to the workers on the Space Coast you

1085
00:52:27,630 --> 00:52:24,670
know that I want you to know that you

1086
00:52:29,460 --> 00:52:27,640
have great Ally and support in Governor

1087
00:52:31,710 --> 00:52:29,470
Scott and I because we are doing

1088
00:52:33,299 --> 00:52:31,720
everything in our in our powers to make

1089
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:33,309
sure that if you want to stay and work

1090
00:52:38,190 --> 00:52:36,130
on a Space Ghost you can do so but most

1091
00:52:40,500 --> 00:52:38,200
importantly you have a great leadership

1092
00:52:42,569 --> 00:52:40,510
team in the local elected officials and

1093
00:52:45,359 --> 00:52:42,579
a Brevard workforce development board

1094
00:52:46,890 --> 00:52:45,369
you guys show up and you are so

1095
00:52:49,620 --> 00:52:46,900
committed to making sure that the

1096
00:52:51,359 --> 00:52:49,630
workers at the Space Coast are protected

1097
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:51,369
that you are involved not only at the

1098
00:52:55,529 --> 00:52:53,530
local level but at the state level and a

1099
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:55,539
national level so I thank you very much

1100
00:53:00,450 --> 00:52:57,210
for your partnership in your commitment

1101
00:53:04,470 --> 00:53:00,460
this is the first of a kind in agreement

1102
00:53:07,049 --> 00:53:04,480
like this between NASA and independent

1103
00:53:08,670 --> 00:53:07,059
board like space Florida and as I

1104
00:53:10,170 --> 00:53:08,680
mentioned before it creates a template

1105
00:53:12,150 --> 00:53:10,180
as to how we can move forward hopefully

1106
00:53:14,370 --> 00:53:12,160
other states would not follow in our

1107
00:53:17,720 --> 00:53:14,380
footsteps because we want to really have

1108
00:53:20,279 --> 00:53:17,730
it and do it the best for our country

1109
00:53:23,069 --> 00:53:20,289
it's interesting that over seven years

1110
00:53:26,069 --> 00:53:23,079
ago I was right in this very bay but a

1111
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:26,079
shuttle was over my head and it was an

1112
00:53:32,279 --> 00:53:29,410
awestruck striking moment to see such a

1113
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:32,289
huge magnificent piece of machinery and

1114
00:53:37,109 --> 00:53:34,690
now today it's empty but although it's

1115
00:53:39,809 --> 00:53:37,119
empty it creates opportunities for the

1116
00:53:42,930 --> 00:53:39,819
new wave for our 21st century vehicle it

1117
00:53:45,750 --> 00:53:42,940
creates opportunities for us to partner

1118
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:45,760
with space Florida who through NASA

1119
00:53:50,339 --> 00:53:48,490
received approval for managing the

1120
00:53:52,710 --> 00:53:50,349
International Space Station for the next

1121
00:53:55,260 --> 00:53:52,720
ten years so it's fitting that we have

1122
00:53:58,019 --> 00:53:55,270
space Florida NASA and bowing at the

1123
00:54:00,630 --> 00:53:58,029
table together so that we can look at

1124
00:54:02,599 --> 00:54:00,640
opportunities for developing technology

1125
00:54:04,789 --> 00:54:02,609
equipment sciences

1126
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:04,799
as we move forward really bring about

1127
00:54:10,759 --> 00:54:07,410
the manufacturing arm that will enhance

1128
00:54:12,349 --> 00:54:10,769
the job opportunities for our state so I

1129
00:54:14,839 --> 00:54:12,359
want to thank everyone that's been a

1130
00:54:16,910 --> 00:54:14,849
partner of this plus our community plus

1131
00:54:19,670 --> 00:54:16,920
our local elected officials and making

1132
00:54:22,370 --> 00:54:19,680
this happen but you know for our state

1133
00:54:25,220 --> 00:54:22,380
things like this just doesn't happen it

1134
00:54:27,799 --> 00:54:25,230
happens because we have a great person

1135
00:54:29,599 --> 00:54:27,809
at the helm managing and turning the

1136
00:54:31,759 --> 00:54:29,609
state around to be a state that's

1137
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:31,769
business friendly to be a state that's

1138
00:54:36,079 --> 00:54:33,690
common sense to be a state that's

1139
00:54:38,450 --> 00:54:36,089
sufficient to be a state that really

1140
00:54:41,450 --> 00:54:38,460
recognizes opportunities for the new

1141
00:54:43,579 --> 00:54:41,460
century for looking at how do we develop

1142
00:54:45,769 --> 00:54:43,589
our K through 12 system how do we

1143
00:54:47,779 --> 00:54:45,779
partner with our university systems how

1144
00:54:49,970 --> 00:54:47,789
do we create an environment that will

1145
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:49,980
place individuals when they go through

1146
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:52,410
our education system to work and

1147
00:54:58,970 --> 00:54:55,249
workforce that's going to be one that

1148
00:55:01,309 --> 00:54:58,980
develops into prosperity for the future

1149
00:55:04,549 --> 00:55:01,319
a workforce that will be able to have a

1150
00:55:06,620 --> 00:55:04,559
salary income and prosperity so that

1151
00:55:08,390 --> 00:55:06,630
they can take care of their families we

1152
00:55:10,549 --> 00:55:08,400
have an individual at the helm of the

1153
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:10,559
state of Florida who came in and said

1154
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:12,690
we're not going to continue status quo

1155
00:55:17,599 --> 00:55:15,210
we're going to turn this this state

1156
00:55:21,079 --> 00:55:17,609
around and operate it with an efficient

1157
00:55:23,779 --> 00:55:21,089
manner with a visionary way with an open

1158
00:55:25,910 --> 00:55:23,789
mind with a collective way that we can

1159
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:25,920
make sure that the high tide will raise

1160
00:55:31,069 --> 00:55:28,650

an opportunity for a good job linking up

1235
00:58:46,599 --> 00:58:44,599
Florida's brilliant space mines with a

1236
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:46,609
private company like Boeing who sees the

1237
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:48,890
business advantages of Florida and wants

1238
00:58:52,900 --> 00:58:50,810
to invest here is the number one way

1239
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:52,910
we're going to recover jobs lost from

1240
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:53,810
the retirement of the space shuttle

1241
00:58:58,990 --> 00:58:56,930
program in Florida we understand that is

1242
00:59:01,300 --> 00:58:59,000
the private business is a private sector

1243
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:01,310
private businesses like Boeing not the

1244
00:59:05,470 --> 00:59:03,050
government who creates jobs and a

1245
00:59:07,060 --> 00:59:05,480
prosperous economy the space

1246
00:59:08,980 --> 00:59:07,070
transportation systems being developed

1247
00:59:11,230 --> 00:59:08,990
by private companies like like Boeing

1248
00:59:13,060 --> 00:59:11,240
like this one will rocket that us back

1249
00:59:16,359 --> 00:59:13,070
to the forefront of the space industry

1250
00:59:18,790 --> 00:59:16,369
and help recognize job growth Florida

1251
00:59:21,310 --> 00:59:18,800
has five decades of leadership in the

1252
00:59:22,750 --> 00:59:21,320
space industry which makes our state the

1253
00:59:25,750 --> 00:59:22,760
logical place for the next phase of

1254
00:59:28,690 --> 00:59:25,760
phase of space travel and exploration I

1255
00:59:31,210 --> 00:59:28,700
applaud Boeing and space Florida for

1256
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:31,220
their efforts to bring this project to

1257
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:32,690
fruition encourage more private

1258
00:59:35,740 --> 00:59:33,890
companies like Boeing to take advantage

1259
00:59:37,690 --> 00:59:35,750
of that built-in talent of Florida's

1260
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:37,700
Space Coast so finally congratulations

00:59:43,990 --> 00:59:40,490
