00:04:28,560 interpret airplanes and spacecraft and 121 00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:30,639 artifacts and photographs and so on that 122 00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:33,360 will help future generations understand 123 00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:34,960 what it was really like to live through 124 00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:36,880 this first century of flight 125 00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:39,600 and why is that important i mean 126 00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:41,520 things happen every day in our lives but 127 00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:43,919 when we look back and historians look 128 00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:45,360 back on this era 129 00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:47,040 flight has changed the world in the last 130 00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:49,199 hundred years from literally an eye 131 00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:51,680 blink of history a short flight on the 132 00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:54,000 hills of kitty hawk 133 00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:55,680 to taking for granted that we can get on 134 00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:57,280 an airplane today 135 00:05:01,909 --> 00:04:59,840 from 40 years ago taking a step off the 136 00:05:04,150 --> 00:05:01,919 planet for the first time to being able 137 00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:04,160 to at least talk about today making it 138 00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:07,520 routine for all of us to go to space 139 00:05:11,670 --> 00:05:09,919 in a historical eye blink as i said this 140 00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:11,680 is this happened in a hundred years 141 00:05:15,029 --> 00:05:13,120 think about for the young people in the 142 00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:15,039 audience what the next hundred years can 143 00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:16,800 mean and our jobs to help them 144 00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:20,240 understand it so they can shape it 145 00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:22,560 someone said to me the other day 146 00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:25,600 what will historians write about our era 147 00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:28,000 a thousand years from now a thousand 148 00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:29,680 years from now that's maybe a little 149 00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:31,759 hard to contemplate but they're probably 150 00:05:35,189 --> 00:05:33,280 not going to be engaged in the things 151 00:05:36,710 --> 00:05:35,199 that take up so much of our time today 152 00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:36,720 who will win the next primary what are 153 00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:38,880 we going to do about health care 154 00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:40,960 who's going to win the super bowl 155 00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:42,560 i was devastated yesterday that albert 156 00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:44,240 pujols left the saint louis cardinals 157 00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:46,000 but you know that's probably not a 158 00:05:48,710 --> 00:05:47,520 historical item 159 00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:48,720 what they'll write about a thousand 160 00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:50,960 years from now is this is the era when 161 00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:53,680 humans first left the planet first into 162 00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:56,400 the atmosphere and then beyond 163 00:06:00,950 --> 00:05:58,800 we don't know the exact timetable but we 164 00:06:02,550 --> 00:06:00,960 get to participate in it and we get to 165 00:06:05,189 --> 00:06:02,560 help create it 166 00:06:06,550 --> 00:06:05,199 how often how how unusable a moment is 167 00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:06,560 it when you know that you're really 168 00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:08,560 experiencing history and that we're in 169 00:06:12,390 --> 00:06:10,479 the room today with the people that will 170 00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:12,400 make it happen 171 00:06:16,469 --> 00:06:14,400 we're extremely

just like we have for all 318 00:12:02,470 --> 00:12:00,079 these years how we can more effectively 319 00:12:04,870 --> 00:12:02,480 advance personal and commercial space 320 00:12:07,030 --> 00:12:04,880 flight how we can more effectively 321 00:12:09,190 --> 00:12:07,040 transition the technologies that we 322 00:12:11,829 --> 00:12:09,200 develop at nasa to the private sector to 323 00:12:14,629 --> 00:12:11,839 create those high paying jobs and open 324 00:12:17,509 --> 00:12:14,639 up endless possibilities for economic 325 00:12:20,310 --> 00:12:17,519 growth together we're truly developing 326 00:12:23,350 --> 00:12:20,320 an industry that until recently had been 327 00:12:26,629 --> 00:12:23,360 largely science fiction but now that it 328 00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:26,639 stands poised to open the the the new 329 00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:27,760 frontier 330 00:12:31,590 --> 00:12:30,320 that next chapter in human space 331 00:12:33,430 --> 00:12:31,600 development 332 00:12:35,829 --> 00:12:33,440 uh but first a little background as you 333 00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:35,839 know we did retire the space shuttle 334 00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:38,240 program early this year in july with the 335 00:12:41,670 --> 00:12:40,079 last landing of over a 30-year 336 00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:41,680 successful program 337 00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:43,760 many of you in this room helped work on 338 00:12:48,389 --> 00:12:46,399 that program and we thank you 339 00:12:50,949 --> 00:12:48,399 contrary to what you've heard 340 00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:50,959 as churchill might have put it it is not 341 00:12:55,670 --> 00:12:53,200 the end it's not even the beginning of 342 00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:55,680 the end but perhaps it's the end of the 343 00:13:02,710 --> 00:12:57,040 beginning 344 00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:02,720 the excitement and adventure is just 345 00:13:08,150 --> 00:13:05,120 beginning and the opening of the space 346 00:13:10,310 --> 00:13:08,160 frontier is just beginning 347 00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:10,320 the president and the congress have 348 00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:13,519 supported a program which is now 349 00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:15,440 making a renewed commitment to human 350 00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:17,040 space flight and we're taking the 351 00:13:22,790 --> 00:13:20,160 necessary if difficult steps today to 352 00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:22,800 ensure america's preeminence for years 353 00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:23,760 to come 354 00:13:27,190 --> 00:13:24,880 after all 355 00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:27,200 what is nasa there for our vision is to 356 00:13:31,750 --> 00:13:29,120 reach for new heights 357 00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:31,760 and reveal the unknown 358 00:13:37,430 --> 00:13:35,200 so that what we learn 359 00:13:40,710 --> 00:13:37,440 from doing these things never been done 360 00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:40,720 before will benefit all humankind 361 00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:43,440 so our plan includes nasa developing a 362 00:13:47,910 --> 00:13:45,760 deep space rocket that will take 363 00:13:49,430 --> 00:13:47,920 astronauts farther into space than we've 364 00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:49,440 ever gone before 365 00:13:55,030 --> 00:13:51,760 coupled with the work already occurring 366 00:13:56,949 --> 00:13:55,040 on the multi-purpose crew vehicle 367 00:13:57,829 --> 00:13:56,959 that will allow us to take that next 368 00:13:59,990 --> 00:13:57,839 leap 369 00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:00,000 into deep space exploration while at the 370 00:14:06,389 --> 00:14:03,120 same time continuing to create 371 00:14:07,829 --> 00:14:06,399 good paying jobs in the united states 372 00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:07,839 the international space station will 373 00:14:12,150 --> 00:14:10,160 continue to be that center piece of our 374 00:14:14,550 --> 00:14:12,160 human space flight activities through at 375 00:14:16,949 --> 00:14:14,560 least 2020 the research and technology 376 00:14:19,110 --> 00:14:16,959 we're doing on the iss providing 377 00:14:21,189 --> 00:14:19,120 breakthroughs to enable not only our 378 00:14:23,110 --> 00:14:21,199 future travel of our 379 00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:23,120 astronauts to destinations beyond low 380 00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:25,920 earth orbit as well as returning real 381 00:14:30,389 --> 00:14:28,160 benefits to those of us at home we've 382 00:14:33,509 --> 00:14:30,399 established a non-profit organization to 383 00:14:35,269 --> 00:14:33,519 manage our non-nasa research on the u.s 384 00:14:37,509 --> 00:14:35,279 portion of the international space 385 00:14:40,470 --> 00:14:37,519 station so that we can really fully 386 00:14:42,389 --> 00:14:40,480 utilize this national laboratory and as 387 00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:42,399 doug king said in 388 00:14:46,790 --> 00:14:45,040 his opening remarks when we look back a 389 00:14:49,269 --> 00:14:46,800 thousand years at what we'll be doing to 390 00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:49,279 me the international space station will 391 00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:52,560 serve as that time when for 12 years now 392 00:14:57,509 --> 00:14:55,279 but hopefully indefinitely 393 00:14:59,750 --> 00:14:57,519 has been the first time in our history 394 00:15:01,030 --> 00:14:59,760 that not every 395 00:15:04,069 --> 00:15:01,040 human 396 00:15:05,750 --> 00:15:04,079 is residing on one planet we have had 397 00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:05,760 people living and working in space 398 00:15:09,910 --> 00:15:08,000 permanently for over 12 years now and 399 00:15:12,069 --> 00:15:09,920 there will hopefully and one of the 400 00:15:14,230 --> 00:15:12,079 things our program is committed to and 401 00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:14,240 i'm personally committed to is making 402 00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:15,120 sure 403 00:15:20,150 --> 00:15:17,040 that does not happen again that we 404 00:15:21,350 --> 00:15:20,160 become this exploring and expanding 405 00:15:23,990 --> 00:15:21,360 species 406 00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:24,000 so our destinations beyond low earth 407 00:15:29,430 --> 00:15:26,160 orbit remain the same and remain 408 00:15:31,910 --> 00:15:29,440 ambitious we intend to 409 00:15:33,749 --> 00:15:31,920 go beyond the moon for the first time to 410 00:15:36,069 --> 00:15:33,759 an asteroid and the president has laid 411 00:15:38,949 --> 00:15:36,079 out and then on to mars we're actually 412 00:15:41,990 --> 00:15:38,959 hiring new astronauts for these missions 413 00:15:44,629 --> 00:15:42,000 we just on november 4th 414 00:15:46,870 --> 00:15:44,639 and inducted nine new astronauts into 415 00:15:50,230 --> 00:15:46,880 the astronaut corps and they're the 416 00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:50,240 first post shuttle astronaut class so 417 00:15:54,150 --> 00:15:52,639 they're being trained to explore space 418 00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:54,160 first of all of course to go to the 419 00:15:59,829 --> 00:15:56,399 space station for extended missions and 420 00:16:02,470 --> 00:15:59,839 then go beyond on november 15th we open 421 00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:02,480 the next round of recruitment for the 422 00:16:07,430 --> 00:16:04,240 class of astronauts that would begin 423 00:16:09,269 --> 00:16:07,440 their initial training in 2013. 424 00:16:12,230 --> 00:16:09,279 these in fact may be those first 425 00:16:14,949 --> 00:16:12,240 astronauts who go to an asteroid for the 426 00:16:17,269 --> 00:16:14,959 first time and ultimately to mars so 427 00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:17,279 human space flight alive and well at 428 00:16:23,030 --> 00:16:19,440 nasa in addition 429 00:16:25,990 --> 00:16:23,040 our science efforts continue unabated 430 00:16:27,990 --> 00:16:26,000 just two weeks ago on november 26th 431 00:16:29,269 --> 00:16:28,000 from cape canaveral we launched the most 432 00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:29,279 advanced 433 00:16:34,310 --> 00:16:31,600 mobile robotic laboratory ever built 434 00:16:37,749 --> 00:16:34,320 it's headed to mars on an eighth month 435 00:16:39,670 --> 00:16:37,759 mission aptly named curiosity the rover 436 00:16:42,150 --> 00:16:39,680 the size of a volkswagen beetle will 437 00:16:44,870 --> 00:16:42,160 land on the surface of the red planet 438 00:16:47,829 --> 00:16:44,880 and next august begin seeking answers to 439 00:16:50,550 --> 00:16:47,839 those planetary puzzles about life on 440 00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:50,560 mars we're continuing to work on the 441 00:16:54,230 --> 00:16:52,320 next generation of 442 00:16:57,110 --> 00:16:54,240 observatories in space the webb 443 00:16:59,670 --> 00:16:57,120 telescope it will be the most powerful 444 00:17:01,829 --> 00:16:59,680 space telescope ever built and observe 445 00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:01,839 the most distant objects in the universe 446 00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:04,000 providing images of the first galaxies 447 00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:07,039 ever formed and study planets that we 448 00:17:13,909 --> 00:17:10,720 now know exist around distant stars 449 00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:13,919 other sciences even now just underway 450 00:17:17,590 --> 00:17:15,919 include juno to jupiter 451 00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:17,600 grail to the moon 452 00:17:22,470 --> 00:17:19,760 dawn's orbit of a giant asteroid and 453 00:17:25,189 --> 00:17:22,480 messengers unprecedented data from 454 00:17:26,949 --> 00:17:25,199 mercury is just beginning to be analyzed 455 00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:26,959 so we'll continue to undertake these 456 00:17:32,150 --> 00:17:29,840 world-class science missions to observe 457 00:17:34,230 --> 00:17:32,160 our planet to reach destinations 458 00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:34,240 throughout the solar system and peer 459 00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:36,799 even deeper into the universe 460 00:17:41,909 --> 00:17:38,960 through our technology programs hundreds 461 00:17:44,150 --> 00:17:41,919 of projects are being initiated 462 00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:44,160 and that space technology program serves 463 00:17:48,789 --> 00:17:45,760 as the catalyst for innovation 464 00:17:51,190 --> 00:17:48,799 throughout american aerospace industries 465 00:17:52,870 --> 00:17:51,200 and creating again those new high 466 00:17:55,430 --> 00:17:52,880 technology jobs 467 00:17:57,750 --> 00:17:55,440 innovations and fields such as materials 468 00:17:59,750 --> 00:17:57,760 research manufacturing and propulsion 469 00:18:01,830 --> 00:17:59,760 that will generate 470 00:18:04,230 --> 00:18:01,840 american leadership and guarantee that 471 00:18:07,029 --> 00:18:04,240 later that leadership continues in the 472 00:18:08,789 --> 00:18:07,039 new technology and economy 473 00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:08,799 we'll also continue to advance 474 00:18:14,470 --> 00:18:10,960 aeronautics research in partnership with 475 00:18:16,789 --> 00:18:14,480 other agencies to create that safe more 476 00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:16,799 environmentally friendly and efficient 477 00:18:21,270 --> 00:18:18,960 travel network for the next generation 478 00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:21,280 air transportation system 479 00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:23,440 so these efforts provide new knowledge 480 00:18:27,190 --> 00:18:24,880 that's what we're there for at nasa 481 00:18:28,390 --> 00:18:27,200 remember new challenges and increased 482 00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:28,400 inspiration 483 00:18:34,630 --> 00:18:32,160 to that next generation of leaders 484 00:18:36,950 --> 00:18:34,640 finally we're very very committed to 485 00:18:38,390 --> 00:18:36,960 having american companies in partnership 486 00:18:41,110 --> 00:18:38,400 with nasa 487 00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:41,120 send our cargo and precious astronauts 488 00:18:45,270 --> 00:18:42,880 to and from the international space 489 00:18:47,350 --> 00:18:45,280 station rather than continuing to 490 00:18:49,029 --> 00:18:47,360 outsource this work to foreign 491 00:18:50,710 --> 00:18:49,039 governments 492 00:18:52,789 --> 00:18:50,720 in order to make good on the whole plan 493 00:18:55,590 --> 00:18:52,799 we need this part of the plan to work 494 00:18:57,510 --> 00:18:55,600 this is critical and it is only through 495 00:18:59,669 --> 00:18:57,520 this investment and our technology 496 00:19:02,310 --> 00:18:59,679 investment that our missions and 497 00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:02,320 programs will be able to be conducted in 498 00:19:07,430 --> 00:19:05,280 a way that allows for the the valuable 499 00:19:11,669 --> 00:19:07,440 dollars that are uh invested by the 500 00:19:12,630 --> 00:19:11,679 public and nasa to return more science 501 00:19:18,870 --> 00:19:12,640 and 502 00:19:21,270 --> 00:19:18,880 so with growing launch costs we have 503 00:19:23,669 --> 00:19:21,280 been able to spend less and less on the 504 00:19:24,950 --> 00:19:23,679 science missions sending fewer and fewer 505 00:19:27,669 --> 00:19:24,960 people in space 506 00:19:30,150 --> 00:19:27,679 we need to change that paradigm lowering 507 00:19:32,710 --> 00:19:30,160 those launch costs so we can do more we 508 00:19:34,630 --> 00:19:32,720 can do the hard thing so let's be clear 509 00:19:36,710 --> 00:19:34,640 about our agenda 510 00:19:39,350 --> 00:19:36,720 it's probably pretty familiar to those 511 00:19:41,990 --> 00:19:39,360 of you here in seattle and elsewhere it 512 00:19:44,789 --> 00:19:42,000 has been used over and over that agenda 513 00:19:46,710 --> 00:19:44,799 is investing in the nations 514 00:19:49,110 --> 00:19:46,720 investing the nation's valuable tax 515 00:19:51,430 --> 00:19:49,120 dollars to assure a healthier more 516 00:19:53,430 --> 00:19:51,440 competitive industrial base that 517 00:19:55,669 --> 00:19:53,440 advances technology provides more 518 00:19:57,909 --> 00:19:55,679 scientific benefit and expands 519 00:20:00,710 --> 00:19:57,919 humanity's presence farther than ever 520 00:20:03,669 --> 00:20:00,720 before while creating new markets new 521 00:20:05,830 --> 00:20:03,679 industries and new jobs to advance our 522 00:20:07,110 --> 00:20:05,840 national security and our economic 523 00:20:09,669 --> 00:20:07,120 future 524 00:20:11,590 --> 00:20:09,679 this is our agenda we're committed to it 525 00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:11,600 we're proud of it and we're thrilled 526 00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:14,080 that so many of you are partners with us 527 00:20:18,630 --> 00:20:16,559 on it here in the united states alone 528 00:20:20,950 --> 00:20:18,640 according to a recent faa report 529 00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:20,960 commercial space transportation and 530 00:20:27,270 --> 00:20:24,320 enabled industries generated 208 531 00:20:30,230 --> 00:20:27,280 billion dollars in economic activity 532 00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:30,240 employed more than one million people 533 00:20:36,470 --> 00:20:32,880 that was in 2009 with earnings exceeding 534 00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:36,480 53 billion dollars that economic impact 535 00:20:40,149 --> 00:20:39,039 is only expected to grow and again that 536 00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:40,159 growth 537 00:20:43,270 --> 00:20:41,840 is our agenda 538 00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:43,280 you know the partnership between 539 00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:45,120 government government and industry that 540 00:20:52,950 --> 00:20:48,400 we're talking about in space is not new 541 00:20:55,270 --> 00:20:52,960 i recently read an article from 1961 542 00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:55,280 where the chairman of general electric 543 00:21:00,870 --> 00:20:57,600 company ralph cordner encouraged the 544 00:21:02,630 --> 00:21:00,880 shifting of space activities from 545 00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:02,640 exclusively government hands to 546 00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:05,120 partnership with a private sector hey 547 00:21:10,390 --> 00:21:06,880 nancy's been around for three years it's 548 00:21:13,270 --> 00:21:10,400 time to turn this over right 1961. 549 00:21:15,270 --> 00:21:13,280 in comparing the then soviet model to 550 00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:15,280 the united states he said 551 00:21:19,590 --> 00:21:17,120 the united states has its own more 552 00:21:21,510 --> 00:21:19,600 effective way of concentrating efficient 553 00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:21,520 effort on a technical project of 554 00:21:25,430 --> 00:21:23,760 importance to the national security and 555 00:21:28,630 --> 00:21:25,440 that is for the people through 556 00:21:30,870 --> 00:21:28,640 government to determine the objectives 557 00:21:32,630 --> 00:21:30,880 to be obtained that's our role and then 558 00:21:35,590 --> 00:21:32,640 turn over to the private firms that have 559 00:21:37,669 --> 00:21:35,600 the managerial and technical capability 560 00:21:41,430 --> 00:21:37,679 to get the work done 561 00:21:44,789 --> 00:21:41,440 using competition and profit or loss 562 00:21:47,350 --> 00:21:44,799 incentives to the maximum he added when 563 00:21:48,710 --> 00:21:47,360 the national need is clear 564 00:21:50,950 --> 00:21:48,720 the partnership of government and 565 00:21:54,149 --> 00:21:50,960 industry in the united states 566 00:21:55,270 --> 00:21:54,159 can work technical miracles we know 567 00:21:58,230 --> 00:21:55,280 that's what we've been doing in 568 00:22:00,630 --> 00:21:58,240 partnership in the past and we can work 569 00:22:02,310 --> 00:22:00,640 miracles together in the future 570 00:22:03,830 --> 00:22:02,320 he also warned 571 00:22:04,870 --> 00:22:03,840 of the dangers of too much government 572 00:22:07,190 --> 00:22:04,880 control 573 00:22:10,070 --> 00:22:07,200 he said that perhaps the government's 574 00:22:12,310 --> 00:22:10,080 portion should be around five percent 575 00:22:14,630 --> 00:22:12,320 of what we do of the technical work and 576 00:22:17,029 --> 00:22:14,640 space program that would best be done in 577 00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:17,039 government laboratories as we step up 578 00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:18,880 our activities he said on a space 579 00:22:23,510 --> 00:22:21,600 frontier many companies universities and 580 00:22:25,669 --> 00:22:23,520 individual citizens will become 581 00:22:26,950 --> 00:22:25,679 increasingly dependent on the political 582 00:22:28,950 --> 00:22:26,960 whims 583 00:22:30,710 --> 00:22:28,960 found familiar and necessities of the 584 00:22:33,110 --> 00:22:30,720 federal government but it's the 585 00:22:35,909 --> 00:22:33,120 competitive system with its profit and 586 00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:35,919 loss disciplines that puts men this was 587 00:22:41,669 --> 00:22:39,440 1961 and companies to the test as no 588 00:22:42,710 --> 00:22:41,679 other system does it rewards the 589 00:22:45,350 --> 00:22:42,720 creative 590 00:22:47,830 --> 00:22:45,360 and the efficient it provides a natural 591 00:22:50,710 --> 00:22:47,840 and effective system for elimination of 592 00:22:53,590 --> 00:22:50,720 failure complacency and delay 593 00:22:55,430 --> 00:22:53,600 at its best the competitive economy has 594 00:22:57,909 --> 00:22:55,440 a vigor diversity 595 00:23:00,549 --> 00:22:57,919 creativity and efficiency that no 596 00:23:02,630 --> 00:23:00,559 controlled economy can match 597 00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:02,640 government should do for the citizens at 598 00:23:07,830 --> 00:23:05,520 their expense those are the nasa dollars 599 00:23:10,470 --> 00:23:07,840 only those things that citizens cannot 600 00:23:12,310 --> 00:23:10,480 do for themselves through their private 601 00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:12,320 institutions 602 00:23:17,029 --> 00:23:14,159 1961. 603 00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:17,039 so nasa's not so new plan 604 00:23:21,590 --> 00:23:19,760 will allow each of us to do just that to 605 00:23:23,909 --> 00:23:21,600 perform our appropriate roles the 606 00:23:26,230 --> 00:23:23,919 commercial sector to play a larger role 607 00:23:28,470 --> 00:23:26,240 in earth orbit logistics and operations 608 00:23:30,549 --> 00:23:28,480 so that government can continue 609 00:23:33,669 --> 00:23:30,559 and concentrate on researching and 610 00:23:35,590 --> 00:23:33,679 developing deep space capabilities 611 00:23:38,070 --> 00:23:35,600 necessary to take humans beyond low 612 00:23:39,909 --> 00:23:38,080 earth orbit to places we've never been 613 00:23:41,830 --> 00:23:39,919 before 614 00:23:44,710 --> 00:23:41,840 the international space station is well 615 00:23:47,909 --> 00:23:44,720 positioned to help promote this growth 616 00:23:50,710 --> 00:23:47,919 of the low earth orbit space economy by 617 00:23:53,350 --> 00:23:50,720 operating as a customer and a first 618 00:23:55,110 --> 00:23:53,360 destination for our u.s companies 619 00:23:56,230 --> 00:23:55,120 capable of transporting crew and cargo 620 00:23:58,230 --> 00:23:56,240 in orbit 621 00:24:00,630 --> 00:23:58,240 while many of us maybe are a little 622 00:24:03,029 --> 00:24:00,640 frustrated that we haven't been able to 623 00:24:05,990 --> 00:24:03,039 advance this agenda faster i really want 624 00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:06,000 to emphasize the strides that we have in 625 00:24:11,830 --> 00:24:08,400 fact made together strides that would 626 00:24:13,669 --> 00:24:11,840 not be possible without all of you and 627 00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:13,679 many of you who will be speaking later 628 00:24:19,590 --> 00:24:16,000 today you know that we have implemented 629 00:24:21,430 --> 00:24:19,600 the two-phased approach for cargo to the 630 00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:21,440 international space station first with 631 00:24:26,230 --> 00:24:23,760 cots to develop and demonstrate 632 00:24:28,470 --> 00:24:26,240 commercial cargo transportation systems 633 00:24:31,350 --> 00:24:28,480 and then commercial resupply services 634 00:24:33,669 --> 00:24:31,360 following up crs to procure those cargo 635 00:24:35,990 --> 00:24:33,679 resupply services 636 00:24:38,070 --> 00:24:36,000 our partners and cots spacex and orbital 637 00:24:39,669 --> 00:24:38,080 sciences are making significant progress 638 00:24:41,029 --> 00:24:39,679 in developing and demonstrating their 639 00:24:43,990 --> 00:24:41,039 systems 640 00:24:46,630 --> 00:24:44,000 nasa has invested significant 641 00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:46,640 money 800 million dollars about in these 642 00:24:51,750 --> 00:24:49,760 efforts so we are very very pleased to 643 00:24:53,909 --> 00:24:51,760 announce just today that nasa is 644 00:24:56,149 --> 00:24:53,919 announcing that they we have set the 645 00:24:59,430 --> 00:24:56,159 target date to continue to make our 646 00:25:02,230 --> 00:24:59,440 progress uh our target date for 647 00:25:05,029 --> 00:25:02,240 launch on february 7th next year for 648 00:25:07,830 --> 00:25:05,039 spacex's second commercial orbital 649 00:25:09,830 --> 00:25:07,840 transportation services demonstration so 650 00:25:12,310 --> 00:25:09,840 pending all the final safety reviews and 651 00:25:13,909 --> 00:25:12,320 testing spacex will send its dragon 652 00:25:16,549 --> 00:25:13,919 spacecraft rendezvous with the 653 00:25:18,710 --> 00:25:16,559 international space station 654 00:25:20,870 --> 00:25:18,720 in less than two months so it is the 655 00:25:24,230 --> 00:25:20,880 opening of that new commercial 656 00:25:27,510 --> 00:25:24,240 cargo delivery era for iss 657 00:25:28,789 --> 00:25:27,520 and it's great news for nasa and spacex 658 00:25:30,070 --> 00:25:28,799 together 659 00:25:31,269 --> 00:25:30,080 and 660 00:25:33,110 --> 00:25:31,279 we have our 661 00:25:34,630 --> 00:25:33,120 gwen shot while speaking later can talk 662 00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:34,640 in more detail 663 00:25:39,430 --> 00:25:37,440 about this announcement today so we're 664 00:25:41,269 --> 00:25:39,440 also providing commercial resupply 665 00:25:44,470 --> 00:25:41,279 services 666 00:25:46,310 --> 00:25:44,480 after these milestones are met and we 667 00:25:49,750 --> 00:25:46,320 have committed three and a half billion 668 00:25:51,669 --> 00:25:49,760 dollars about for these efforts uh again 669 00:25:54,470 --> 00:25:51,679 if they are successful so 670 00:25:57,029 --> 00:25:54,480 in the area of crew transportation we 671 00:25:59,990 --> 00:25:57,039 have the cc dev program which you'll 672 00:26:01,350 --> 00:26:00,000 also be hearing more about uh next from 673 00:26:03,190 --> 00:26:01,360 our uh 674 00:26:05,669 --> 00:26:03,200 leader of our commercial crew programs 675 00:26:08,149 --> 00:26:05,679 phil mcallister nasa has conducted two 676 00:26:11,029 --> 00:26:08,159 rounds of competition so far and we are 677 00:26:14,310 --> 00:26:11,039 soliciting proposals from u.s industry 678 00:26:16,390 --> 00:26:14,320 participation for those next phases of 679 00:26:19,830 --> 00:26:16,400 this program the first round of spacex 680 00:26:22,070 --> 00:26:19,840 agreements went to blue origin boeing 681 00:26:25,110 --> 00:26:22,080 paragon space development corp sierra 682 00:26:27,909 --> 00:26:25,120 nevada and united launch alliance and 683 00:26:30,390 --> 00:26:27,919 our second round of competition 684 00:26:33,590 --> 00:26:30,400 winners were blue origin boeing sierra 685 00:26:37,669 --> 00:26:33,600 nevada and spacex that second round nasa 686 00:26:40,310 --> 00:26:37,679 has invested around 338 million dollars 687 00:26:43,510 --> 00:26:40,320 for our 2012 budget for this program 688 00:26:45,990 --> 00:26:43,520 while we have uh just received our 689 00:26:48,470 --> 00:26:46,000 appropriation from congress for 690 00:26:50,230 --> 00:26:48,480 uh 406 million dollars and that is 691 00:26:53,269 --> 00:26:50,240 significantly less than our requested 692 00:26:56,630 --> 00:26:53,279 850 million dollars it is nevertheless a 693 00:26:59,590 --> 00:26:56,640 significant step and we are looking now 694 00:27:02,310 --> 00:26:59,600 at uh an evaluation of how we move 695 00:27:04,630 --> 00:27:02,320 forward most effectively to advance the 696 00:27:07,669 --> 00:27:04,640 time when we will be able to count on 697 00:27:10,310 --> 00:27:07,679 u.s companies to deliver our precious 698 00:27:14,070 --> 00:27:10,320 astronauts to and from the space station 699 00:27:15,909 --> 00:27:14,080 so we do anticipate that one or more 700 00:27:17,590 --> 00:27:15,919 commercial crew systems will be 701 00:27:20,070 --> 00:27:17,600 available for the transportation of 702 00:27:22,549 --> 00:27:20,080 astronauts to the space station as well 703 00:27:24,710 --> 00:27:22,559 as the provision of rescue services by 704 00:27:26,070 --> 00:27:24,720 the middle of this decade and success of 705 00:27:28,470 --> 00:27:26,080 this program 706 00:27:31,110 --> 00:27:28,480 will of course and the outsourcing of 707 00:27:33,430 --> 00:27:31,120 this service to foreign providers 708 00:27:35,830 --> 00:27:33,440 so while it's not a new idea 709 00:27:38,389 --> 00:27:35,840 it should not be surprising that this 710 00:27:40,710 --> 00:27:38,399 increased emphasis and really for the 711 00:27:43,110 --> 00:27:40,720 first time significant investment on 712 00:27:43,909 --> 00:27:43,120 behalf of nasa has reached the stage 713 00:27:47,350 --> 00:27:43,919 where 714 00:27:49,430 --> 00:27:47,360 a real threat exists to the status quo 715 00:27:51,590 --> 00:27:49,440 so it is natural that that success 716 00:27:53,990 --> 00:27:51,600 inspires sometimes a negative reaction 717 00:27:57,029 --> 00:27:54,000 by vested interests and of course 718 00:27:59,350 --> 00:27:57,039 history is rich with examples of 719 00:28:01,830 --> 00:27:59,360 industries and entities in transition 720 00:28:04,789 --> 00:28:01,840 where those whose livelihoods and in 721 00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:04,799 some cases very lives were threatened by 722 00:28:09,430 --> 00:28:06,799 a new paradigm 723 00:28:12,950 --> 00:28:09,440 and they often choose sometimes to fight 724 00:28:16,230 --> 00:28:12,960 instead of to adapt and history proves 725 00:28:18,789 --> 00:28:16,240 that adaptation is critical to success 726 00:28:20,950 --> 00:28:18,799 and in some cases survival think of the 727 00:28:22,870 --> 00:28:20,960 dinosaurs and what happened to them they 728 00:28:25,430 --> 00:28:22,880 were not able to adapt 729 00:28:27,750 --> 00:28:25,440 but a local more recent example is 730 00:28:29,830 --> 00:28:27,760 obviously the personal computer industry 731 00:28:32,950 --> 00:28:29,840 while bill gates and the recently late 732 00:28:35,590 --> 00:28:32,960 steve jobs are revered today by nearly 733 00:28:37,909 --> 00:28:35,600 all it wasn't very long ago that the 734 00:28:40,470 --> 00:28:37,919 established computer companies fought 735 00:28:41,990 --> 00:28:40,480 these individuals and their inevitable 736 00:28:45,269 --> 00:28:42,000 advances 737 00:28:47,909 --> 00:28:45,279 ibm and others are even more successful 738 00:28:49,830 --> 00:28:47,919 and healthy today than they were before 739 00:28:51,350 --> 00:28:49,840 these new companies 740 00:28:53,909 --> 00:28:51,360 existed 741 00:28:55,830 --> 00:28:53,919 why because they were able to adapt so 742 00:28:58,310 --> 00:28:55,840 this is the model that we hope for our 743 00:29:01,110 --> 00:28:58,320 established aerospace industry we want a 744 00:29:03,029 --> 00:29:01,120 healthy growing robust and 745 00:29:05,669 --> 00:29:03,039 internationally competitive aerospace 746 00:29:07,990 --> 00:29:05,679 industry and while we may be 747 00:29:10,310 --> 00:29:08,000 maybe in the 70s the disco area as a 748 00:29:12,950 --> 00:29:10,320 comparison to the computer industry 749 00:29:15,669 --> 00:29:12,960 we are so pleased to see so many early 750 00:29:19,110 --> 00:29:15,679 adapters and we welcome them 751 00:29:21,590 --> 00:29:19,120 a more current example of this scenario 752 00:29:24,950 --> 00:29:21,600 it's from the entertainment world if 753 00:29:26,549 --> 00:29:24,960 you've seen the recent movie moneyball 754 00:29:29,830 --> 00:29:26,559 in a conversation near the end of the 755 00:29:31,909 --> 00:29:29,840 movie with john henry who is the owner 756 00:29:34,549 --> 00:29:31,919 of the boston red sox and billy bean the 757 00:29:36,389 --> 00:29:34,559 general manager of the oakland a's in 758 00:29:38,070 --> 00:29:36,399 2002 759 00:29:40,630 --> 00:29:38,080 uh john henry 760 00:29:43,750 --> 00:29:40,640 talks to billy about why it should not 761 00:29:45,909 --> 00:29:43,760 be a surprise that he uh has not been 762 00:29:48,149 --> 00:29:45,919 very popular with his new ideas so billy 763 00:29:50,870 --> 00:29:48,159 had almost won the championship that 764 00:29:53,430 --> 00:29:50,880 year in 2002 with one of the lowest 765 00:29:56,389 --> 00:29:53,440 payrolls in baseball through a new 766 00:29:58,870 --> 00:29:56,399 statistical strategy that predicted and 767 00:30:01,430 --> 00:29:58,880 produced more victories 768 00:30:03,430 --> 00:30:01,440 with use of undervalued ballplayers who 769 00:30:05,430 --> 00:30:03,440 had a knack for getting on base than the 770 00:30:08,149 --> 00:30:05,440 existing expensive 771 00:30:09,830 --> 00:30:08,159 time-consuming and inefficient method of 772 00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:09,840 traditional scouting so it was a 773 00:30:13,830 --> 00:30:12,320 revolutionary way of putting together a 774 00:30:16,389 --> 00:30:13,840 winning baseball team called 775 00:30:18,950 --> 00:30:16,399 sabermetrics so as one might expect the 776 00:30:20,950 --> 00:30:18,960 approach was not so well received 777 00:30:23,350 --> 00:30:20,960 by baseball traditionalists scouts 778 00:30:25,110 --> 00:30:23,360 pundits players and journalists 779 00:30:28,149 --> 00:30:25,120 so it might sound familiar 780 00:30:30,149 --> 00:30:28,159 uh john henry who was an early adapter 781 00:30:32,950 --> 00:30:30,159 and had just gone to the the boston red 782 00:30:35,190 --> 00:30:32,960 sox saw what billy bean had done and was 783 00:30:37,590 --> 00:30:35,200 trying to woo him to bring that system 784 00:30:39,029 --> 00:30:37,600 to boston so during their meeting henry 785 00:30:41,590 --> 00:30:39,039 explains to bean that he should 786 00:30:43,590 --> 00:30:41,600 understand why baseball old-timers and 787 00:30:44,870 --> 00:30:43,600 standard bearers were fighting this new 788 00:30:47,669 --> 00:30:44,880 system 789 00:30:50,789 --> 00:30:47,679 he says to being that a trailblazer the 790 00:30:51,830 --> 00:30:50,799 first man through the gap always gets 791 00:30:54,549 --> 00:30:51,840 bloodied 792 00:30:56,870 --> 00:30:54,559 whether it's in business or politics he 793 00:30:58,870 --> 00:30:56,880 reminded bean that people who are used 794 00:31:01,110 --> 00:30:58,880 to doing things the old way will fight 795 00:31:03,029 --> 00:31:01,120 like hell to preserve their careers and 796 00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:03,039 the status quo 797 00:31:10,789 --> 00:31:05,760 in the movie he says billy people go 798 00:31:15,350 --> 00:31:12,950 that's what we're up against 799 00:31:17,430 --> 00:31:15,360 as we work to advance space development 800 00:31:20,710 --> 00:31:17,440 and change and we 801 00:31:24,789 --> 00:31:20,720 need to keep in mind 802 00:31:27,430 --> 00:31:24,799 where uh this story uh will go 803 00:31:30,470 --> 00:31:27,440 because dinosaurs don't roam the earth 804 00:31:32,549 --> 00:31:30,480 the computing power of a 1970s mainframe 805 00:31:34,549 --> 00:31:32,559 exists in your iphone 806 00:31:37,269 --> 00:31:34,559 and every single baseball team in 807 00:31:39,669 --> 00:31:37,279 america uses some form of saber metrics 808 00:31:41,909 --> 00:31:39,679 to recruit baseball players it should be 809 00:31:45,269 --> 00:31:41,919 noted that those who adopted this trend 810 00:31:47,669 --> 00:31:45,279 first all these trends first mammals uh 811 00:31:49,110 --> 00:31:47,679 on up gained the greatest competitive 812 00:31:51,830 --> 00:31:49,120 advantage 813 00:31:53,990 --> 00:31:51,840 so what we are trying to do is have our 814 00:31:55,909 --> 00:31:54,000 whole community gain that competitive 815 00:31:59,029 --> 00:31:55,919 advantage moving out 816 00:32:01,430 --> 00:31:59,039 faster on this ambitious new direction 817 00:32:03,990 --> 00:32:01,440 that our nation's leaders have given us 818 00:32:06,310 --> 00:32:04,000 developing new technologies developing 819 00:32:09,029 --> 00:32:06,320 partnerships providing opportunities for 820 00:32:12,070 --> 00:32:09,039 competition and innovation and looking 821 00:32:15,990 --> 00:32:12,080 for ways to get the most mileage out of 822 00:32:18,789 --> 00:32:16,000 all of the hard work over the decades 823 00:32:21,190 --> 00:32:18,799 that this community has invested in the 824 00:32:23,750 --> 00:32:21,200 fields of engineering science 825 00:32:26,149 --> 00:32:23,760 aeronautics and technology this is what 826 00:32:28,710 --> 00:32:26,159 will inspire the next generation this is 827 00:32:30,149 --> 00:32:28,720 what you can talk about in the museum of 828 00:32:32,070 --> 00:32:30,159 flight 829 00:32:33,430 --> 00:32:32,080 thank you for being part of it each and 830 00:32:35,269 --> 00:32:33,440 every one of you 831 00:32:37,509 --> 00:32:35,279 we look forward to strengthening our 832 00:32:40,310 --> 00:32:37,519 partnerships with all of you as we take 833 00:32:41,110 --> 00:32:40,320 the next big leap in space exploration 834 00:32:43,269 --> 00:32:41,120 so 835

855 00:33:36,470 --> 00:33:34,720 coming in late who would like to come up 856 00:33:46,310 --> 00:33:36,480 and take a seat please feel free to do 857 00:33:51,190 --> 00:33:47,590 good morning 858 00:33:56,549 --> 00:33:54,950 i understand uh your your point about 859 00:33:58,630 --> 00:33:56,559 uh switching to the private model 860 00:34:00,470 --> 00:33:58,640 especially in cargo services and i'm in 861 00:34:02,549 --> 00:34:00,480 full agreement and i wonder how do you 862 00:34:04,470 --> 00:34:02,559 look at balancing 863 00:34:06,710 --> 00:34:04,480 what some people might view as those 864 00:34:08,790 --> 00:34:06,720 short-term important steps 865 00:34:11,030 --> 00:34:08,800 with requirements for some of the 866 00:34:13,190 --> 00:34:11,040 longer-term fundamental technology 867 00:34:15,750 --> 00:34:13,200 investments that need to happen to 868 00:34:17,109 --> 00:34:15,760 ensure future developments in space 869 00:34:18,230 --> 00:34:17,119 development 870 00:34:19,109 --> 00:34:18,240 you know 871 00:34:21,909 --> 00:34:19,119 it is 872 00:34:23,990 --> 00:34:21,919 we hope a portfolio of investment on 873 00:34:26,149 --> 00:34:24,000 nasa we have to invest something in 874 00:34:27,750 --> 00:34:26,159 those longer term technologies that will 875 00:34:29,030 --> 00:34:27,760 benefit in 876 00:34:31,270 --> 00:34:29,040 the decades 877 00:34:33,669 --> 00:34:31,280 to come but we also need to help make 878 00:34:36,629 --> 00:34:33,679 that transition to the private sector so 879 00:34:38,710 --> 00:34:36,639 investing in things that uh 880 00:34:40,790 --> 00:34:38,720 there are future markets for that 881 00:34:43,030 --> 00:34:40,800 industry might actually have the ability 882 00:34:46,710 --> 00:34:43,040 to have the government not be its sole 883 00:34:49,109 --> 00:34:46,720 customer so we have been transferring 884 00:34:52,149 --> 00:34:49,119 cargo and crew to low earth orbit for 50 885 00:34:55,030 --> 00:34:52,159 years and we've been doing that with our 886 00:34:56,950 --> 00:34:55,040 industrial partnerships there are 887 00:34:59,190 --> 00:34:56,960 more things and more people who want to 888 00:35:02,870 --> 00:34:59,200 go to space than just on behalf of the 889 00:35:06,150 --> 00:35:02,880 government so we feel this is a very 890 00:35:07,990 --> 00:35:06,160 uh natural ripe area for that 891 00:35:09,589 --> 00:35:08,000 transitional time while we continue to 892 00:35:11,670 --> 00:35:09,599 invest in those technologies that we 893 00:35:13,349 --> 00:35:11,680 don't know which ones will develop into 894 00:35:15,589 --> 00:35:13,359 new markets that's how the government 895 00:35:16,550 --> 00:35:15,599 works nasa shouldn't be operating these 896 00:35:19,030 --> 00:35:16,560 systems 897 00:35:20,790 --> 00:35:19,040 we should be doing the research we 898 00:35:23,829 --> 00:35:20,800 should be making the new discoveries and 899 00:35:24,950 --> 00:35:23,839 if we can do that with our partners and 900 00:35:28,310 --> 00:35:24,960 they can 901 00:35:29,589 --> 00:35:28,320 help provide new markets and open 902 00:35:32,310 --> 00:35:29,599 these 903 00:35:34,950 --> 00:35:32,320 economic growth for 904 00:35:37,430 --> 00:35:34,960 those types of uh 905 00:35:38,950 --> 00:35:37,440 things that that are not just government 906 00:35:42,069 --> 00:35:38,960 that will benefit 907 00:35:44,870 --> 00:35:42,079 us all that is capitalism and uh we 908 00:35:47,750 --> 00:35:44,880 don't believe that the very best of us 909 00:35:50,390 --> 00:35:47,760 is just in government we believe that 910 00:35:53,109 --> 00:35:50,400 this whole system has a lot to offer 911 00:35:55,109 --> 00:35:53,119 space exploration as it has aeronautics 912 00:35:57,589 --> 00:35:55,119 earth sciences communications those many 913 00:36:00,550 --> 00:35:57,599 many things we have invested in at nasa 914 00:36:06,790 --> 00:36:00,560 that are providing benefit by our 915 00:36:10,870 --> 00:36:08,230 hi there 916 00:36:13,670 --> 00:36:10,880 um i have a question concerning the 917 00:36:16,310 --> 00:36:13,680 continued by through the obama 918 00:36:19,589 --> 00:36:16,320 administration through a continued 919 00:36:20,790 --> 00:36:19,599 systemic takedown of nasa 920 00:36:23,190 --> 00:36:20,800 um 921 00:36:25,190 --> 00:36:23,200 that you know put forward as a as a 922 00:36:27,030 --> 00:36:25,200 fraud that we would end the manned space 923 00:36:28,230 --> 00:36:27,040 program and then move towards the 924 00:36:31,910 --> 00:36:28,240 instrumental 925 00:36:32,790 --> 00:36:31,920 of nasa which of course has not happened 926 00:36:35,109 --> 00:36:32,800 we're 927 00:36:37,030 --> 00:36:35,119 gutting the instrumental side too uh so 928 00:36:41,190 --> 00:36:37,040 my question is this 929 00:36:43,990 --> 00:36:41,200 uh dimitri regrozan who is the nato of 930 00:36:46,230 --> 00:36:44,000 the russian envoy to nato 931 00:36:48,470 --> 00:36:46,240 proposed a strategic defense of the 932 00:36:51,430 --> 00:36:48,480 earth which is a revival of lyndon 933 00:36:52,950 --> 00:36:51,440 larouche's strategic defense initiative 934 00:36:55,349 --> 00:36:52,960 which would not only render nuclear 935 00:36:59,030 --> 00:36:55,359 warfare obsolete but deal with threats 936 00:37:00,710 --> 00:36:59,040 we face from space such as asteroids etc 937 00:37:03,030 --> 00:37:00,720 and they had put this forward after the 938 00:37:05,510 --> 00:37:03,040 obama administration refused to give the 939 00:37:07,190 --> 00:37:05,520 russians assurances that the missile 940 00:37:09,109 --> 00:37:07,200 defense systems in eastern europe were 941 00:37:12,550 --> 00:37:09,119 not aimed at russia 942 00:37:15,109 --> 00:37:12,560 they did so they proposed the sde as a 943 00:37:17,430 --> 00:37:15,119 war avoidance policy 944 00:37:20,230 --> 00:37:17,440 to avoid a thermonuclear showdown which 945 00:37:23,030 --> 00:37:20,240 is now shaping up so 946 00:37:25,990 --> 00:37:23,040 my question is this which is 947 00:37:28,870 --> 00:37:26,000 will there be a future for nasa and 948 00:37:30,310 --> 00:37:28,880 frankly for our country with obama in 949 00:37:32,550 --> 00:37:30,320 the presidency 950 00:37:34,550 --> 00:37:32,560 and as well would you support the 951 00:37:36,550 --> 00:37:34,560 strategic defense of the earth policy 952 00:37:38,870 --> 00:37:36,560 put forward by the russians 953 00:37:41,190 --> 00:37:38,880 i don't feel like can at nasa as a civil 954 00:37:43,510 --> 00:37:41,200 space agency address the missile defense 955 00:37:46,150 --> 00:37:43,520 issues but is not completely unrelated 956 00:37:48,470 --> 00:37:46,160 to my answer to the first which is the 957 00:37:50,390 --> 00:37:48,480 obama administration has done nothing 958 00:37:52,150 --> 00:37:50,400 other than advancing 959 00:37:54,630 --> 00:37:52,160 our human 960 00:37:57,670 --> 00:37:54,640 space program and advancing our 961 00:38:00,550 --> 00:37:57,680 investment in nasa we have asked for 962 00:38:03,270 --> 00:38:00,560 increased budgets each year it has 963 00:38:05,510 --> 00:38:03,280 actually been the congress who has has 964 00:38:06,829 --> 00:38:05,520 made our cuts most recently in 2012 we 965 00:38:09,589 --> 00:38:06,839 asked for 966 00:38:11,430 --> 00:38:09,599 18.7 billion dollars for nasa it was a 967 00:38:13,190 --> 00:38:11,440 congress who gave us about a billion 968 00:38:15,349 --> 00:38:13,200 dollars less than that the bush 969 00:38:17,349 --> 00:38:15,359 administration had actually determined 970 00:38:18,630 --> 00:38:17,359 and decided to end the space shuttle 971 00:38:20,790 --> 00:38:18,640 program more than 972 00:38:23,270 --> 00:38:20,800 six years ago the obama administration 973 00:38:24,950 --> 00:38:23,280 when we came in quickly added two more 974 00:38:26,390 --> 00:38:24,960 flights it was all the flights that 975 00:38:28,710 --> 00:38:26,400 could be added because that's the number 976 00:38:30,470 --> 00:38:28,720 of external tanks we had we wanted to 977 00:38:32,710 --> 00:38:30,480 fully utilize the international space 978 00:38:35,349 --> 00:38:32,720 station so we added the alpha magnetic 979 00:38:36,950 --> 00:38:35,359 spectrometer a wonderful science 980 00:38:39,430 --> 00:38:36,960 experiment for space station which had 981 00:38:41,829 --> 00:38:39,440 been canceled by the bush administration 982 00:38:45,030 --> 00:38:41,839 and we added that very last flight of 983 00:38:46,950 --> 00:38:45,040 discovery so that we could add 984 00:38:49,270 --> 00:38:46,960 all of the capability to space station 985 00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:49,280 that it would take to be able to have 986 00:38:54,550 --> 00:38:51,440 this permanent presence until we can get 987 00:38:57,109 --> 00:38:54,560 there again from u.s soil so we not only 988 00:38:59,510 --> 00:38:57,119 extended the shuttle program but 989 00:39:02,790 --> 00:38:59,520 accelerated the program to get 990 00:39:06,069 --> 00:39:02,800 astronauts to and from space from here 991 00:39:07,990 --> 00:39:06,079 in u.s soil we adopted a program that 992 00:39:10,390 --> 00:39:08,000 was headed off of a cliff for human 993 00:39:12,550 --> 00:39:10,400 space flight and have saved this program 994 00:39:16,630 --> 00:39:12,560 we could not be prouder of it the 995 00:39:19,190 --> 00:39:16,640 message is very clear that we care about 996 00:39:20,950 --> 00:39:19,200 human space flight we will not only 997 00:39:23,670 --> 00:39:20,960 reduce the time when we won't be able to 998 00:39:25,910 --> 00:39:23,680 launch people to and from space from the 999 00:39:28,150 --> 00:39:25,920 united states but we will accelerate the 1000 00:39:29,750 --> 00:39:28,160 time when we are again exploring beyond 1001 00:39:32,150 --> 00:39:29,760 low earth orbit going to new 1002 00:39:34,390 --> 00:39:32,160 destinations and 1003 00:39:36,470 --> 00:39:34,400 rewriting those textbooks revealing the 1004 00:39:46,230 --> 00:39:36,480 unknown and reaching new heights so 1005 00:39:50,950 --> 00:39:49,030 good morning lori david anderson retired 1006 00:39:52,470 --> 00:39:50,960 boeing product development 1007 00:39:54,950 --> 00:39:52,480 can you tell us a little bit about the 1008 00:39:56,470 --> 00:39:54,960 competition and collaboration 1009 00:39:58,710 --> 00:39:56,480 with other agencies 1010 00:40:02,710 --> 00:39:58,720 such as the european space agency or 1011 00:40:08,950 --> 00:40:05,670 nearly half of nasa's programs are done 1012 00:40:12,150 --> 00:40:08,960 in cooperation with uh our international 1013 00:40:14,710 --> 00:40:12,160 partners the space station is the 1014 00:40:15,990 --> 00:40:14,720 largest and most obvious example with 14 1015 00:40:17,829 --> 00:40:16,000 nations 1016 00:40:19,910 --> 00:40:17,839 working together collaboratively for 1017 00:40:22,470 --> 00:40:19,920 these last 20 years but our science 1018 00:40:25,750 --> 00:40:22,480 programs are also almost never done 1019 00:40:28,470 --> 00:40:25,760 alone even in aeronautics and certainly 1020 00:40:30,390 --> 00:40:28,480 in earth sciences where we share 100 1021 00:40:31,750 --> 00:40:30,400 of our data with the entire world 1022 00:40:34,069 --> 00:40:31,760 helping them 1023 00:40:36,230 --> 00:40:34,079 manage their own resources in their 1024 00:40:39,750 --> 00:40:36,240 countries helping them predict their 1025 00:40:43,030 --> 00:40:39,760 weather understand the changing planet 1026 00:40:45,430 --> 00:40:43,040 this is a global endeavor nasa i know we 1027 00:40:47,349 --> 00:40:45,440 really believe that we can 1028 00:40:49,510 --> 00:40:47,359 add to economic growth in this country 1029 00:40:51,190 --> 00:40:49,520 by being more competitive but 1030 00:40:53,910 --> 00:40:51,200 where is a leader if there are no 1031 00:40:55,030 --> 00:40:53,920 followers so we as a leader believe in 1032 00:40:58,230 --> 00:40:55,040 partnering 1033 00:41:01,910 --> 00:40:58,240 with uh the rest of the world and it is 1034 00:41:04,710 --> 00:41:01,920 a very very gratifying thing to be at 1035 00:41:06,390 --> 00:41:04,720 nasa at a time when while we symbolized 1036 00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:06,400 the very cold war 1037 00:41:11,109 --> 00:41:08,560 in 1960s 1038 00:41:12,710 --> 00:41:11,119 we are a product of the space race post 1039 00:41:14,309 --> 00:41:12,720 sputnik right that's that's why we're 1040 00:41:17,510 --> 00:41:14,319 here 1041 00:41:19,589 --> 00:41:17,520 we are now working peacefully with 1042 00:41:20,390 --> 00:41:19,599 russia the former soviet union in order 1043 00:41:22,710 --> 00:41:20,400 to 1044 00:41:25,030 --> 00:41:22,720 expand human presence outward 1045 00:41:29,109 --> 00:41:25,040 and that i don't think you can put a 1046 00:41:31,270 --> 00:41:29,119 price tag on the value of offering that 1047 00:41:34,630 --> 00:41:31,280 to the world and we hope to be able to 1048 00:41:35,990 --> 00:41:34,640 continue to expand those partnerships 1049 00:41:38,230 --> 00:41:36,000 to provide 1050 00:41:39,910 --> 00:41:38,240 leadership but also partnership 1051 00:41:42,150 --> 00:41:39,920 throughout 1052 00:41:44,150 --> 00:41:42,160 our future we when we went to the moon 1053 00:41:46,790 --> 00:41:44,160 turned around looked back and saw this 1054 00:41:49,510 --> 00:41:46,800 one fragile planet it is not 1055 00:41:52,230 --> 00:41:49,520 a coincidence that earth day started in 1056 00:41:53,990 --> 00:41:52,240 1970 just one year after we landed on 1057 00:41:56,150 --> 00:41:54,000 the moon we went out 1058 00:41:59,270 --> 00:41:56,160 looked back and it gave us a new 1059 00:42:01,670 --> 00:41:59,280 perspective and a new appreciation for 1060 00:42:03,270 --> 00:42:01,680 the planet that we reside on together 1061 00:42:05,829 --> 00:42:03,280 and i haven't talked to a single 1062 00:42:07,910 --> 00:42:05,839 astronaut who hasn't come back changed 1063 00:42:10,950 --> 00:42:07,920 recognizing that we are all here 1064 00:42:12,550 --> 00:42:10,960 together and more we can learn about not 1065 00:42:15,430 --> 00:42:12,560 only how to help 1066 00:42:18,230 --> 00:42:15,440 live together peacefully how to uh 1067 00:42:20,230 --> 00:42:18,240 protect our planet i think that is one 1068 00:42:22,550 --> 00:42:20,240 of the very very best 1069 00:42:25,270 --> 00:42:22,560 investments that this nation can make 1070 00:42:27,829 --> 00:42:25,280 thank you thanks 1071 00:42:29,349 --> 00:42:27,839 um hi i was wondering how nasa is 1072 00:42:32,630 --> 00:42:29,359 planning on inspiring the next 1073 00:42:35,349 --> 00:42:32,640 generation of students and 1074 00:42:37,190 --> 00:42:35,359 what inspires you 1075 00:42:39,910 --> 00:42:37,200 i really like the 1076 00:42:42,790 --> 00:42:39,920 the possibility of life on mars and life 1077 00:42:46,470 --> 00:42:42,800 on other planets and okay so what is 1078 00:42:48,870 --> 00:42:46,480 nasa doing about that we have as i said 1079 00:42:51,109 --> 00:42:48,880 the mars science laboratory on its way 1080 00:42:52,950 --> 00:42:51,119 to mars we just announced through the 1081 00:42:56,710 --> 00:42:52,960 opportunity rover which has spent the 1082 00:43:01,510 --> 00:42:56,720 last three years roving mars again 1083 00:43:03,829 --> 00:43:01,520 gypsum in a a river valley that 1084 00:43:06,230 --> 00:43:03,839 is a very strong indicator of not just 1085 00:43:09,349 --> 00:43:06,240 water on mars but flowing water on mars 1086 00:43:11,750 --> 00:43:09,359 so what might that mean maybe we'll need 1087 00:43:14,630 --> 00:43:11,760 bill nye to tell us 1088 00:43:17,589 --> 00:43:14,640 where you find water you find life this 1089 00:43:20,550 --> 00:43:17,599 is an extremely exciting thing and we 1090 00:43:22,870 --> 00:43:20,560 are exploring as we should first with 1091 00:43:24,950 --> 00:43:22,880 our robots and ultimately with humans 1092 00:43:27,510 --> 00:43:24,960 your generation i believe will have the 1093 00:43:28,950 --> 00:43:27,520 opportunity to go to space to go back to 1094 00:43:30,630 --> 00:43:28,960 the moon i always thought i would get to 1095 00:43:33,589 --> 00:43:30,640 go to the moon i was eight years old 1096 00:43:34,950 --> 00:43:33,599 when we first walked on it and to go 1097 00:43:37,910 --> 00:43:34,960 find out 1098 00:43:39,990 --> 00:43:37,920 what happened or where life on mars is 1099 00:43:43,030 --> 00:43:40,000 today we are also through things like 1100 00:43:44,230 --> 00:43:43,040 our discovery uh just a couple weeks ago 1101 00:43:47,910 --> 00:43:44,240 although we've been working on it for a 1102 00:43:49,990 --> 00:43:47,920 couple years from uh kepler 1103 00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:50,000 a distant planet revolving around 1104 00:43:54,710 --> 00:43:52,800 another star in the habitable zone what 1105 00:43:56,230 --> 00:43:54,720 will that mean and when we launch the 1106 00:43:58,710 --> 00:43:56,240 web telescope we will be able to 1107 00:44:00,710 --> 00:43:58,720 determine a surface and maybe find a 1108 00:44:02,710 --> 00:44:00,720 blue planet in the habitable zone well 1109 00:44:04,150 --> 00:44:02,720 what will that mean bill nye 1110 00:44:05,750 --> 00:44:04,160 these are the kinds of things that 1111 00:44:07,109 --> 00:44:05,760 hopefully will inspire your generation 1112 00:44:10,069 --> 00:44:07,119 but people are inspired by a lot of 1113 00:44:12,950 --> 00:44:10,079 things i was inspired early on of course 1114 00:44:16,950 --> 00:44:12,960 by nasa and our our lunar explorations 1115 00:44:19,430 --> 00:44:16,960 but there are new things to learn and uh 1116 00:44:21,510 --> 00:44:19,440 that that i'm glad is something that you 1117 00:44:22,550 --> 00:44:21,520 look for us to do because again that's a 1118 00:44:25,190 --> 00:44:22,560 unique 1119 00:44:27,910 --> 00:44:25,200 role of nasa we feel 1120 00:44:30,309 --> 00:44:27,920 we're the best in the world at it we are 1121 00:44:31,990 --> 00:44:30,319 pretty focused on it and 1122 00:44:34,790 --> 00:44:32,000 we believe it returns real benefit 1123 00:44:37,510 --> 00:44:34,800 because you then will hopefully 1124 00:44:40,069 --> 00:44:37,520 study how to make those next discoveries 1125 00:44:43,670 --> 00:44:40,079 you'll go into fields that will help us 1126 00:44:45,750 --> 00:44:43,680 make those next innovations and continue 1127 00:44:47,750 --> 00:44:45,760 to explore and expand while returning 1128 00:44:48,790 --> 00:44:47,760 real benefit to us here on earth so 1129 00:44:51,190 --> 00:44:48,800 please do 1130 00:44:52,230 --> 00:44:51,200 thank you yes over here 1131 00:44:55,349 --> 00:44:52,240 hi 1132 00:45:00,150 --> 00:44:55,359 i'm jim tillman a research professor 1133 00:45:06,390 --> 00:45:03,589 many years ago my staff and i 1134 00:45:08,950 --> 00:45:06,400 operated viking lander one on mars did 1135 00:45:10,950 --> 00:45:08,960 all of the spacecraft processing we had 1136 00:45:13,829 --> 00:45:10,960 some really good people 1137 00:45:17,349 --> 00:45:13,839 there to do that and i want to ask you 1138 00:45:21,910 --> 00:45:19,349 i'm a finnish delegate to the 1139 00:45:23,030 --> 00:45:21,920 international mars exploration working 1140 00:45:25,109 --> 00:45:23,040 group 1141 00:45:27,670 --> 00:45:25,119 i understand nasa did not like the 1142 00:45:31,270 --> 00:45:27,680 concept of a u.s citizen being a finnish 1143 00:45:33,349 --> 00:45:31,280 delegate but that's the way it is 1144 00:45:35,109 --> 00:45:33,359 and 1145 00:45:38,150 --> 00:45:35,119 we have a mission 1146 00:45:39,430 --> 00:45:38,160 with finland and russia with small 1147 00:45:42,870 --> 00:45:39,440 landers 1148 00:45:44,069 --> 00:45:42,880 called met.net meteorology network 1149 00:45:45,430 --> 00:45:44,079 and 1150 00:45:48,630 --> 00:45:45,440 i 1151 00:45:50,069 --> 00:45:48,640 encourage 1152 00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:50,079 nasa to 1153 00:45:55,910 --> 00:45:52,560 continue that kind of 1154 00:45:57,349 --> 00:45:55,920 collaboration they're small landers 1155 00:45:58,150 --> 00:45:57,359 and uh 1156 00:46:00,870 --> 00:45:58,160 but 1157 00:46:02,710 --> 00:46:00,880 meteorology and very good 1158 00:46:05,270 --> 00:46:02,720 do you have are you familiar with that 1159 00:46:07,349 --> 00:46:05,280 mission and do you have any comments i'm 1160 00:46:09,670 --> 00:46:07,359 not familiar with a particular mission 1161 00:46:11,430 --> 00:46:09,680 nasa is very interested first of all it 1162 00:46:14,550 --> 00:46:11,440 sounds to me like u.s leadership to have 1163 00:46:17,990 --> 00:46:14,560 a u.s finnish representative for for 1164 00:46:20,150 --> 00:46:18,000 mars exploration we have the uh 1165 00:46:22,230 --> 00:46:20,160 experience at mars of large and small 1166 00:46:25,510 --> 00:46:22,240 landers from viking thank you for your 1167 00:46:27,829 --> 00:46:25,520 service and contributions uh to the 1168 00:46:30,069 --> 00:46:27,839 spirit and opportunity to pathfinder 1169 00:46:32,630 --> 00:46:30,079 smaller rovers which we are able to do 1170 00:46:34,230 --> 00:46:32,640 more quickly and and for less money as i 1171 00:46:35,829 --> 00:46:34,240 mentioned the portfolio approach to 1172 00:46:37,750 --> 00:46:35,839 technology i think it's the same to 1173 00:46:39,030 --> 00:46:37,760 exploration we know there are certain 1174 00:46:41,349 --> 00:46:39,040 things that have to be done through 1175 00:46:43,190 --> 00:46:41,359 flagship missions and larger missions 1176 00:46:45,430 --> 00:46:43,200 but we also know that we can be more 1177 00:46:48,069 --> 00:46:45,440 nimble learning from 1178 00:46:51,829 --> 00:46:48,079 uh our our knowledge that is gained in 1179 00:46:53,750 --> 00:46:51,839 existing missions and create ways to go 1180 00:46:55,190 --> 00:46:53,760 to distant places with smaller missions 1181 00:46:57,990 --> 00:46:55,200 cheaper especially while it costs so 1182 00:46:59,670 --> 00:46:58,000 much to launch things right we know that 1183 00:47:02,069 --> 00:46:59,680 we can put those missions together more 1184 00:47:03,510 --> 00:47:02,079 quickly and i think as technology 1185 00:47:04,390 --> 00:47:03,520 advances one of the things we're looking 1186 00:47:05,750 --> 00:47:04,400 to do 1187 00:47:08,150 --> 00:47:05,760 is 1188 00:47:10,550 --> 00:47:08,160 have smaller instruments put those 1189 00:47:12,790 --> 00:47:10,560 things together where we can do even 1190 00:47:15,190 --> 00:47:12,800 more in form of exploration so so thank 1191 00:47:16,950 --> 00:47:15,200 you i mean from viking uh to now has 1192 00:47:19,750 --> 00:47:16,960 been an incredible 1193 00:47:22,549 --> 00:47:19,760 successful armada of spacecraft going to 1194 00:47:25,270 --> 00:47:22,559 mars and uh we stand on your shoulders 1195 00:47:27,589 --> 00:47:25,280 so thank you the matinet 1196 00:47:30,710 --> 00:47:27,599 i wrote a paragraph that's in the book 1197 00:47:33,670 --> 00:47:30,720 towards mars saying we need this kind of 1198 00:47:34,549 --> 00:47:33,680 a small mission cheap mission 1199 00:47:35,829 --> 00:47:34,559 uh 1200 00:47:38,470 --> 00:47:35,839 within 1201 00:47:41,190 --> 00:47:38,480 three years russia had designed the 1202 00:47:43,109 --> 00:47:41,200 breadboard and i showed it here at come 1203 00:47:45,430 --> 00:47:43,119 together washington our two billion 1204 00:47:47,510 --> 00:47:45,440 dollar fundraiser 1205 00:47:51,030 --> 00:47:47,520 it's inexpensive 1206 00:47:52,950 --> 00:47:51,040 and our plans are to have 16 of them 1207 00:47:54,390 --> 00:47:52,960 on the surface of mars in the near 1208 00:47:56,470 --> 00:47:54,400 future 1209 00:47:58,390 --> 00:47:56,480 thank you very much thank you very 1210 00:48:01,109 --> 00:47:58,400 interesting maybe just one more david or 1211 00:48:03,030 --> 00:48:01,119 you want me okay 1212 00:48:05,349 --> 00:48:03,040 greg good morning lori greg maranac st 1213 00:48:06,549 --> 00:48:05,359 louis science center speaking of small 1214 00:48:08,950 --> 00:48:06,559 and nimble 1215 00:48:11,349 --> 00:48:08,960 how is nasa working with these new small 1216 00:48:13,109 --> 00:48:11,359 nimble suborbital space 1217 00:48:14,549 --> 00:48:13,119 companies in the united states to 1218 00:48:17,190 --> 00:48:14,559 advance 1219 00:48:19,430 --> 00:48:17,200 both human and and 1220 00:48:21,030 --> 00:48:19,440 scientific ventures well that's a great 1221 00:48:22,710 --> 00:48:21,040 question so i did not mention our 1222 00:48:25,109 --> 00:48:22,720 suborbital program we have a program 1223 00:48:27,750 --> 00:48:25,119 called cruiser and we are looking again 1224 00:48:29,750 --> 00:48:27,760 since nasa has provided suborbital uh 1225 00:48:32,309 --> 00:48:29,760 transportation as has the private sector 1226 00:48:34,630 --> 00:48:32,319 for a while for science to having them 1227 00:48:37,270 --> 00:48:34,640 be able to not only do more science 1228 00:48:39,190 --> 00:48:37,280 cheaply but take that next payload what 1229 00:48:41,750 --> 00:48:39,200 what might that next payload be there's 1230 00:48:44,069 --> 00:48:41,760 a lot of us around who would love to 1231 00:48:45,589 --> 00:48:44,079 do an allen shepherd do a suborbital 1232 00:48:48,069 --> 00:48:45,599 space flight and so there are a couple 1233 00:48:50,470 --> 00:48:48,079 of companies now looking at that 1234 00:48:52,150 --> 00:48:50,480 possibility working toward 1235 00:48:55,030 --> 00:48:52,160 opening that market and again what would 1236 00:48:56,870 --> 00:48:55,040 nasa do we would buy research time on 1237 00:48:58,470 --> 00:48:56,880 this orbital sub-orbital market why 1238 00:48:59,430 --> 00:48:58,480 would we launch our own suborbital 1239 00:49:02,710 --> 00:48:59,440 rocket 1240 00:49:05,430 --> 00:49:02,720 if somebody's going uh with people on 1241 00:49:07,109 --> 00:49:05,440 board but we want to not only maybe send 1242 00:49:09,750 --> 00:49:07,119 a researcher but also 1243 00:49:12,630 --> 00:49:09,760 do the research that we're already doing 1244 00:49:15,430 --> 00:49:12,640 in that arena so it is a very natural 1245 00:49:17,990 --> 00:49:15,440 progression from suborbital to orbital 1246 00:49:20,150 --> 00:49:18,000 and a number of companies are working uh 1247 00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:20,160 toward achieving that market our role 1248 00:49:23,829 --> 00:49:21,760 isn't to compete with them 1249 00:49:25,430 --> 00:49:23,839 it's to have them help us reduce the 1250 00:49:28,710 --> 00:49:25,440 cost of the research that we would do 1251 00:49:30,790 --> 00:49:28,720 anyway in that arena and maybe help 1252 00:49:32,630 --> 00:49:30,800 establish their market and be an anchor 1253 00:49:34,549 --> 00:49:32,640 tenant and buy down their risk 1254 00:49:36,309 --> 00:49:34,559 completely appropriate role for nasa and
