00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:31,380
investigate whether that area of Mars

10
00:00:38,690 --> 00:00:35,570
could ever have sustained microbial life

11
00:00:40,580 --> 00:00:38,700

presence the world's only laboratory in

24
00:01:14,030 --> 00:01:11,939
microgravity has led to breakthroughs in

25
00:01:16,039 --> 00:01:14,040
science and technology that are

26
00:01:19,010 --> 00:01:16,049
improving our quality of life here on

27
00:01:21,550 --> 00:01:19,020
earth also changing lives is a spin-off

28
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:21,560

administrator charlie bolden was at the

39
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:56,070
Marshall Space Flight Center for a

40
00:02:00,320 --> 00:01:58,170
first-hand look at work on NASA's new

41
00:02:02,990 --> 00:02:00,330
Space Launch System the rocket that will

42
00:02:04,370 --> 00:02:03,000
make deep space missions possible Bolden

43
00:02:06,290 --> 00:02:04,380
toward Marshalls thrust vector control

44
00:02:08,749 --> 00:02:06,300
test lab as well as the

45
00:02:10,730 --> 00:02:08,759
hardware-in-the-loop simulation lab here

46
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:10,740
engineers are developing and testing the

47
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:12,570
new rockets guidance navigation and

48
00:02:17,630 --> 00:02:15,090
control software and avionics and thrust

49
00:02:19,610 --> 00:02:17,640
vector control hardware this integrated

50
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:19,620
propulsion test bed using digital

51
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:22,110
computer models demonstrates real time

52
00:02:25,610 --> 00:02:23,370
flight control of the launch vehicle

53
00:02:28,460 --> 00:02:25,620
during assets what we're able to do in

54
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:28,470
this facility is take the hardware test

55
00:02:31,460 --> 00:02:29,850
it out a little bit take the software

56
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:31,470
test it out a little bit and marry them

57
00:02:36,410 --> 00:02:34,410
up right here in the sim lab so that you

58
00:02:39,740 --> 00:02:36,420
know we're going to have real live

59
00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:39,750
flight hardware with real live flight

60
00:02:43,790 --> 00:02:42,239
software married up in this facility so

61
00:02:45,290 --> 00:02:43,800
that if there's something that's going

62
00:02:47,420 --> 00:02:45,300
to go wrong we discover it here in

63
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:47,430
Huntsville before we take it to Florida

64
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:49,170
and put it on a vehicle the Marshall

65
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:50,850
Center is leading design and development

66
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:53,040
of the Space Launch System the new

67
00:02:56,570 --> 00:02:54,810
heavy-lift launch vehicle will expand

68
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:56,580
human presence beyond low-earth orbit

69
00:03:00,410 --> 00:02:58,170
and enabled new missions of exploration

70
00:03:05,890 --> 00:03:00,420
across the solar system its first

71
00:03:11,630 --> 00:03:09,350

00:03:28,820 --> 00:03:25,830
as directed the lander hovered blew up

78
00:03:35,690 --> 00:03:28,830
to 100 feet before putting down safely

79
00:03:38,509 --> 00:03:35,700
at the test site once again a nationwide

00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:38,519
survey ranks NASA among the best places

81
00:03:43,009 --> 00:03:40,410
to work in the federal government at

82
00:03:45,710 --> 00:03:43,019
number five the survey conducted by the

83
00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:45,720
nonprofit nonpartisan partnership for

84
00:03:49,460 --> 00:03:47,760
public service pulled more than two

85
00:03:52,699 --> 00:03:49,470
hundred seventy six thousand federal

86
00:03:55,610 --> 00:03:52,709
workers placing first among NASA centers

87
00:03:57,170 --> 00:03:55,620
was tennis which out of 240

88
00:03:59,940 --> 00:03:57,180
organizations within the federal

89
00:04:02,280 --> 00:03:59,950
government ranked number two

90
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:02,290
stennis also topped the list of all

91
00:04:07,770 --> 00:04:04,510
federal organizations for employee

92

empowerment fairness and support for

93
00:04:14,070 --> 00:04:12,400
diversity seemed to me like this idea

94
00:04:16,770 --> 00:04:14,080
can be expanded it can be taken to the

95
00:04:18,210 --> 00:04:16,780
next level Matthew risco a financial

solicits cost-cutting ideas from federal

100
00:04:33,090 --> 00:04:30,340
employees risco proposed establishing a

101
00:04:36,180 --> 00:04:33,100
