00:28:12,549 --> 00:28:10,559
historic legacy of its name

198
00:28:14,070 --> 00:28:12,559
it flew to space more times than any

199
00:28:16,470 --> 00:28:14,080
other spacecraft

200
00:28:19,110 --> 00:28:16,480
in orbit it released a telescope to

201
00:28:20,789 --> 00:28:19,120
probe the universe and a spacecraft to

202
00:28:22,630 --> 00:28:20,799
explore the sun

203
00:28:24,950 --> 00:28:22,640
it carried laboratories to study

204
00:28:27,350 --> 00:28:24,960
weightlessness and instruments to study

205
00:28:29,510 --> 00:28:27,360
the earth and its atmosphere

206
00:28:31,590 --> 00:28:29,520
early in its career discovery became the

207
00:28:41,830 --> 00:28:31,600
first spacecraft to bring a satellite

208
00:28:46,470 --> 00:28:43,830
but perhaps even more compelling than

209
00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:46,480
the discoveries that enabled in space is

210
00:28:54,470 --> 00:28:48,240
the spirit this vehicle has helped

211
00:28:58,070 --> 00:28:56,070
its missions include flights that

212
00:29:00,310 --> 00:28:58,080
showcased how one-time cold war

213
00:29:02,070 --> 00:29:00,320
adversaries can become long-term friends

214
00:29:03,830 --> 00:29:02,080
for exploration

215
00:29:06,789 --> 00:29:03,840
its flights further expanded space

216
00:29:07,990 --> 00:29:06,799
travel beyond boundaries of age gender

217
00:29:10,149 --> 00:29:08,000
and race

218
00:29:12,549 --> 00:29:10,159
counting among those who flew on it the

219
00:29:14,310 --> 00:29:12,559
oldest astronaut the first female

220
00:29:16,870 --> 00:29:14,320
shuttle pilot and the first

221
00:29:19,430 --> 00:29:16,880
african-american space walker

222
00:29:21,269 --> 00:29:19,440
but above all discovery twice proved

223
00:29:23,430 --> 00:29:21,279
that america had the will and the

224
00:29:25,510 --> 00:29:23,440
determination to persevere

225
00:29:27,190 --> 00:29:25,520
and succeed in the face of devastating

226
00:29:29,669 --> 00:29:27,200
grief and tragedy

227
00:29:34,870 --> 00:29:29,679
returning america to space after the

228
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:37,029
discovery is the most accomplished space

229
00:29:42,789 --> 00:29:40,080
shuttle ever amounting to over 5 000

230
00:29:57,830 --> 00:29:42,799
trips around the earth and more than 300

231
00:30:01,990 --> 00:29:59,990
although it is impossible to recognize

232
00:30:04,710 --> 00:30:02,000
the thousands of people by name who

233
00:30:06,950 --> 00:30:04,720

this is target i thought it's going to

319
00:35:11,589 --> 00:35:08,960

00:37:51,030 --> 00:37:48,960
moments

388
00:37:53,109 --> 00:37:51,040
it drew this nation together in times of

389
00:37:54,790 --> 00:37:53,119
tragedy and triumph

390
00:37:56,390 --> 00:37:54,800
we're now happy to share this legacy

391
00:37:59,349 --> 00:37:56,400
with millions of visitors in this

392
00:38:01,990 --> 00:37:59,359
fantastic venue alongside other historic

393
00:38:04,470 --> 00:38:02,000
air and spacecraft that have changed our

394
00:38:07,670 --> 00:38:04,480
world and helped us turn science fiction

395
00:38:10,710 --> 00:38:07,680
into science fact and realize that what

396
00:38:13,430 --> 00:38:10,720
seemed to many impossible dreams

397
00:38:17,589 --> 00:38:13,440
from her first flight in 1984 discovery

398
00:38:18,750 --> 00:38:17,599
flew 39 missions spent 365 days in space

399
00:38:22,349 --> 00:38:18,760
orbited earth

400
00:38:25,390 --> 00:38:22,359
5830 times and travel get this

401
00:38:27,750 --> 00:38:25,400
148 million 221

402
00:38:31,030 --> 00:38:27,760
675 miles yes

403
00:38:33,030 --> 00:38:31,040
we do keep track of that stuff precisely

404
00:38:34,790 --> 00:38:33,040
i was privileged to fly aboard discovery

405
00:38:38,150 --> 00:38:34,800
twice first as the pilot of the hubble

406
00:38:39,990 --> 00:38:38,160
space telescope deploy mission in 1990

407
00:38:41,589 --> 00:38:40,000
finally as commander when we flew the

408
00:38:43,829 --> 00:38:41,599
first for the first time

409
00:38:45,510 --> 00:38:43,839
a russian crew member sergey krikalov in

410
00:38:47,349 --> 00:38:45,520
1994

411
00:38:49,829 --> 00:38:47,359
discovery also visited the mir space

412
00:38:51,829 --> 00:38:49,839
station twice conducted two servicing

413
00:38:53,910 --> 00:38:51,839
missions to hubble and on her last

414
00:38:57,589 --> 00:38:53,920
mission delivered the first robotic crew

415
00:39:00,150 --> 00:38:57,599
member robonaut 2 or r2 as we call it

416
00:39:01,349 --> 00:39:00,160
to the international space station and

417
00:39:04,390 --> 00:39:01,359
speaking of the international space

418
00:39:06,470 --> 00:39:04,400
station uh when the coast guard song was

419
00:39:08,470 --> 00:39:06,480
played the person who stands highest

420
00:39:11,430 --> 00:39:08,480
right now but was unable to be seen by

421
00:39:14,550 --> 00:39:11,440
you is captain dan burbank who is a crew

422
00:39:20,230 --> 00:39:14,560
member aboard iss u.s coast guard so dan

423
00:39:24,069 --> 00:39:22,230
today while we look back on discovery's

424
00:39:25,670 --> 00:39:24,079
amazing legacy i also want to look

425
00:39:28,390 --> 00:39:25,680
forward to what she and the shuttle

426
00:39:29,990 --> 00:39:28,400
fleet helped to make possible as nasa

427
00:39:32,069 --> 00:39:30,000
transfers the shuttle orbiters to

428
00:39:33,750 --> 00:39:32,079
museums across the country we're

429
00:39:35,589 --> 00:39:33,760
embarked on an exciting new space

430
00:39:37,670 --> 00:39:35,599
exploration journey

431
00:39:38,710 --> 00:39:37,680
re relying on american ingenuity and

432
00:39:40,630 --> 00:39:38,720
know-how

433
00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:40,640
nasa is partnering with private industry

434
00:39:44,790 --> 00:39:42,640
to provide crew and cargo transportation

435
00:39:46,550 --> 00:39:44,800
to the international space station while

436
00:39:48,550 --> 00:39:46,560
developing the most powerful rocket ever

437
00:39:51,270 --> 00:39:48,560
built to take the nation farther than

438
00:39:53,670 --> 00:39:51,280
ever before into the solar system

439
00:39:55,829 --> 00:39:53,680
the shuttles were extraordinary vehicles

440
00:39:58,310 --> 00:39:55,839
and throughout their lives we constantly

441
00:40:00,150 --> 00:39:58,320
learn from them and refine them making

442
00:40:01,109 --> 00:40:00,160
them safer and more capable with each

443
00:40:03,030 --> 00:40:01,119
flight

444
00:40:05,430 --> 00:40:03,040
what we learned will be applied to the

445
00:40:06,790 --> 00:40:05,440
next generation of space transportation

446
00:40:09,270 --> 00:40:06,800
systems

447
00:40:10,790 --> 00:40:09,280
even now the shuttle's main engines have

448
00:40:13,670 --> 00:40:10,800
been transferred to the stennis space

449
00:40:15,670 --> 00:40:13,680
center for early testing for the heavy

450
00:40:17,430 --> 00:40:15,680
heavy lift launch vehicle that will take

451
00:40:20,710 --> 00:40:17,440
humans farther into space than ever

452
00:40:22,710 --> 00:40:20,720
before to an asteroid and onto mars

453
00:40:24,230 --> 00:40:22,720
the shuttles demonstrated that access to

454
00:40:26,230 --> 00:40:24,240
low earth orbit was something we could

455
00:40:28,710 --> 00:40:26,240
accomplish regularly although i won't

456
00:40:31,270 --> 00:40:28,720
say routinely because every time humans

457
00:40:32,710 --> 00:40:31,280
set off for space leave the planet think

458
00:40:33,990 --> 00:40:32,720
about it leave the planet and that's

459
00:40:35,829 --> 00:40:34,000
what's significant about being here with

460
00:40:37,510 --> 00:40:35,839
this vehicle behind me i know we

461
00:40:39,430 --> 00:40:37,520
describe it as white but you'll notice

462
00:40:41,030 --> 00:40:39,440
it's charred a little bit try going

463
00:40:43,190 --> 00:40:41,040
through 3000 degrees and see if you

464
00:40:44,710 --> 00:40:43,200
don't get a little charred okay

465
00:40:47,270 --> 00:40:44,720
um

466
00:40:48,790 --> 00:40:47,280
shuttle showed us that that earth orbit

467
00:40:49,990 --> 00:40:48,800
could be an extension of our human

468
00:40:51,990 --> 00:40:50,000
biosphere

469
00:40:53,990 --> 00:40:52,000
a place where we could live and work

470
00:40:55,750 --> 00:40:54,000
ultimately they helped us construct the

471
00:40:57,030 --> 00:40:55,760
international space station where

472
00:40:59,670 --> 00:40:57,040
astronauts have lived and worked

473
00:41:01,750 --> 00:40:59,680
continuously for more than 11 years now

474
00:41:03,510 --> 00:41:01,760
performing hundreds of experiments that

475
00:41:05,589 --> 00:41:03,520
help improve life on earth and set the

476
00:41:08,309 --> 00:41:05,599
stage for exploration to father

477
00:41:09,829 --> 00:41:08,319
destinations without the shuttle there

478
00:41:11,829 --> 00:41:09,839
would be no station

479
00:41:13,589 --> 00:41:11,839
and now that unique orbiting laboratory

480
00:41:15,270 --> 00:41:13,599
will be our stepping stone to the rest

481
00:41:17,589 --> 00:41:15,280
of the solar system

482
00:41:19,190 --> 00:41:17,599
as nasa retired the shuttle fleet we are

483
00:41:21,430 --> 00:41:19,200
transitioning to a new era of

484
00:41:23,829 --> 00:41:21,440
exploration with technology development

485
00:41:25,910 --> 00:41:23,839
at the forefront to help us reach higher

486
00:41:27,670 --> 00:41:25,920
and leave future generations with

487
00:41:28,790 --> 00:41:27,680
greater capabilities

488
00:41:30,230 --> 00:41:28,800
today

489
00:41:32,870 --> 00:41:30,240
we turn discovery over to the

490
00:41:35,349 --> 00:41:32,880
smithsonian with great expectation that

491
00:41:37,270 --> 00:41:35,359
as we have always done nasa will

492
00:41:40,550 --> 00:41:37,280
continue to expire the young people of

493
00:41:42,390 --> 00:41:40,560
today and tomorrow to dream of space

494
00:41:43,670 --> 00:41:42,400
to dream of uncovering the secrets of

495
00:41:46,470 --> 00:41:43,680
the universe

496
00:41:48,630 --> 00:41:46,480
and take steps to pursue the careers

497
00:41:50,550 --> 00:41:48,640
that will make them the exploration

498
00:41:53,510 --> 00:41:50,560
leaders of tomorrow

499
00:41:56,230 --> 00:41:53,520
the hope that we leave with you today

500
00:41:57,990 --> 00:41:56,240
is that this magnificent flying machine

501
00:42:00,069 --> 00:41:58,000
that carried more people to space than

502
00:42:02,710 --> 00:42:00,079
any vehicle ever before will be a

503
00:42:05,030 --> 00:42:02,720
testament not only to overcoming the

504
00:42:05,910 --> 00:42:05,040
human and technological obstacles of the

505
00:42:08,309 --> 00:42:05,920
day

506
00:42:09,750 --> 00:42:08,319
but a tangible example that our dreams

507
00:42:12,230 --> 00:42:09,760
of exploration

508
00:42:14,790 --> 00:42:12,240
of reaching our higher potential are

509
00:42:15,589 --> 00:42:14,800
always within reach if we stretch for

510
00:42:17,829 --> 00:42:15,599
them

511
00:42:20,309 --> 00:42:17,839
to the smithsonian institution

512
00:42:21,990 --> 00:42:20,319
and to its national air and space museum

513
00:42:25,270 --> 00:42:22,000
i know

514
00:42:27,109 --> 00:42:25,280
you will take care of discovery

515
00:42:29,430 --> 00:42:27,119
as you have the many other space

516
00:42:31,349 --> 00:42:29,440
artifacts that you have so wonderfully

517
00:42:33,589 --> 00:42:31,359
displayed to tell the story of america's

518
00:42:34,950 --> 00:42:33,599
leadership in space for more than five

519
00:42:36,870 --> 00:42:34,960
decades now

520
00:42:39,589 --> 00:42:36,880
i know my granddaughters and perhaps

521
00:42:41,430 --> 00:42:39,599
someday their children will be able to

522
00:42:44,390 --> 00:42:41,440
stand in awe beneath this great white

523
00:42:46,470 --> 00:42:44,400
bird and be reminded again of the bold

524
00:42:49,510 --> 00:42:46,480
dreams our nation right now is

525
00:42:50,710 --> 00:42:49,520
continuing to pursue to innovate

526
00:42:53,510 --> 00:42:50,720
to create

527
00:42:55,109 --> 00:42:53,520
and to travel beyond the next horizon

528
00:42:56,950 --> 00:42:55,119
thanks to all of you for coming out now

529
00:42:58,790 --> 00:42:56,960
we have a very quick clip that's going

530
00:43:01,349 --> 00:42:58,800
to talk a little bit more about about

531
00:43:02,870 --> 00:43:01,359
the incredible life of discovery

532
00:43:05,190 --> 00:43:02,880
space shuttle discovery was a shuttle

533
00:43:06,710 --> 00:43:05,200
fleet leader having flown 39 missions

534
00:43:10,150 --> 00:43:06,720
beginning with its maiden voyage on

535
00:43:12,790 --> 00:43:10,160
sts-41d in august of 1984 through its

536
00:43:15,670 --> 00:43:12,800
final flight an sds-133 in february and

537
00:43:17,589 --> 00:43:15,680
march of 2011 during which it delivered

538
00:43:19,510 --> 00:43:17,599
the permanent multi-purpose module to

539
00:43:23,750 --> 00:43:19,520
the international space station along

540
00:43:30,710 --> 00:43:26,390
discovery logged a year in space during

541
00:43:35,190 --> 00:43:30,720
39 flights over 27 years of service and

542
00:43:38,470 --> 00:43:35,200
traveled more than 148 million miles

543
00:43:40,550 --> 00:43:38,480
during 5830

544
00:43:44,470 --> 00:43:40,560
orbits of earth

545
00:43:47,190 --> 00:43:44,480
all told the five space shuttles logged

546
00:43:49,109 --> 00:43:47,200
a half a billion miles

547
00:43:52,630 --> 00:43:49,119
in space over

548
00:43:54,950 --> 00:43:52,640
30 years of space flight and 135

549
00:43:58,630 --> 00:43:54,960
missions and conducted

550
00:44:02,710 --> 00:44:00,470
those missions included the delivery of

551
00:44:04,309 --> 00:44:02,720
interplanetary probes the deployment

552
00:44:06,630 --> 00:44:04,319
servicing and upgraded the hubble space

553
00:44:07,990 --> 00:44:06,640
telescope and the lasting achievement of

554
00:44:10,309 --> 00:44:08,000
the construction of the international

555
00:44:11,910 --> 00:44:10,319
space station aboard which we now live

556
00:44:13,990 --> 00:44:11,920
and work today

557
00:44:16,069 --> 00:44:14,000
we remember discovery fondly and wish

558
00:44:27,109 --> 00:44:16,079
her well at her new home at the udvar

559
00:44:31,270 --> 00:44:29,109
thank you general bolden

560
00:44:33,349 --> 00:44:31,280
overseeing the smithsonian with its 19

561
00:44:35,349 --> 00:44:33,359
museums and nine research centers and

562
00:44:36,630 --> 00:44:35,359
extensive global outreach activities is

563
00:44:39,430 --> 00:44:36,640
a big job

564
00:44:41,910 --> 00:44:39,440
especially considering the 137 million

565
00:44:44,950 --> 00:44:41,920
objects in the institutions collections

566
00:44:46,550 --> 00:44:44,960
nasa is not the only one can use numbers

567
00:44:48,069 --> 00:44:46,560
but when it comes to adding another

568
00:44:49,829 --> 00:44:48,079
important artifact to the national

569
00:44:51,829 --> 00:44:49,839
collection the secretary is an

570
00:44:53,750 --> 00:44:51,839
enthusiastic supporter and it's my honor

571
00:44:58,790 --> 00:44:53,760
to introduce the secretary of the

572
00:45:04,790 --> 00:44:59,829
thank you

573
00:45:07,270 --> 00:45:04,800
be here now you know why i have one of

574
00:45:08,870 --> 00:45:07,280
the best jobs in the world i even have a

575
00:45:09,990 --> 00:45:08,880
general who reports to me i noticed he

576
00:45:13,430 --> 00:45:10,000
didn't

577
00:45:15,670 --> 00:45:13,440
introducing me to work on it

578
00:45:18,069 --> 00:45:15,680
but under jack's leadership both the

579
00:45:20,069 --> 00:45:18,079
museum on the mall and the museum here

580
00:45:22,150 --> 00:45:20,079
on the dulles airport grounds are two of

581
00:45:25,270 --> 00:45:22,160
the most magnificent museums in the

582
00:45:27,270 --> 00:45:25,280
smithsonian orbit group and so we are so

583
00:45:35,109 --> 00:45:27,280
proud of jack and his staff let's give

584
00:45:39,190 --> 00:45:36,710
we are certainly pleased to be here with

585
00:45:41,430 --> 00:45:39,200
nasa administrator charles bolden and we

586
00:45:43,990 --> 00:45:41,440
value charlie our great partnership with

587
00:45:46,390 --> 00:45:44,000
nasa and all that brings to us and all

588
00:45:48,710 --> 00:45:46,400
to the american people i'm proud to be

589
00:45:51,109 --> 00:45:48,720
here with our smithsonian regents chair

590
00:45:52,390 --> 00:45:51,119
grant dr france cordova and many members

591
00:45:53,670 --> 00:45:52,400
of the board i'd like to ask the members

592
00:45:56,630 --> 00:45:53,680
of the board of regents who are here to

593
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:02,710
paul

594
00:46:06,470 --> 00:46:04,230
and of course it's always an honor to

595
00:46:08,550 --> 00:46:06,480
see our friend senator john glenn who is

596
00:46:17,030 --> 00:46:08,560
certainly a supporter of the smithsonian

597
00:46:21,990 --> 00:46:20,069
discovery is just one of the many latest

598
00:46:23,910 --> 00:46:22,000
types of artifacts on display here in

599
00:46:25,829 --> 00:46:23,920
the national mall that senator glenn

600
00:46:27,990 --> 00:46:25,839
used in his personal

601
00:46:29,990 --> 00:46:28,000
explorations of space you can see the

602
00:46:33,030 --> 00:46:30,000
fiberglass couch he was strapped in for

603
00:46:35,190 --> 00:46:33,040
g training in the mercury program or and

604
00:46:37,109 --> 00:46:35,200
i love this one the drugstore camera he

605
00:46:39,990 --> 00:46:37,119
bought and modified a take on his

606
00:46:41,990 --> 00:46:40,000
historic flight friendship seven

607
00:46:43,990 --> 00:46:42,000
and now this magnificent engineering

608
00:46:46,069 --> 00:46:44,000
marvel discovery which will be a

609
00:46:47,349 --> 00:46:46,079
centerpiece here at the udvar-hazy

610
00:46:49,829 --> 00:46:47,359
center

611
00:46:52,470 --> 00:46:49,839
the author f scott fitzgerald famously

612
00:46:55,430 --> 00:46:52,480
noted there are no second acts in

613
00:46:57,589 --> 00:46:55,440
american lives senator glenn vigorously

614
00:47:00,950 --> 00:46:57,599
disproved that notion when he reprised

615
00:47:02,950 --> 00:47:00,960
his astronaut role on this very shuttle

616
00:47:05,589 --> 00:47:02,960
at the age of 77

617
00:47:08,390 --> 00:47:05,599
and now discovery begins its own second

618
00:47:11,030 --> 00:47:08,400
act as an engine of imagination

619
00:47:13,270 --> 00:47:11,040
education and inspiration

620
00:47:15,750 --> 00:47:13,280
as transportation secretary ray lahood

621
00:47:18,309 --> 00:47:15,760
said on tuesday when it landed that was

622
00:47:20,150 --> 00:47:18,319
a wow moment in american history as

623
00:47:22,630 --> 00:47:20,160
thousands on the american mall and

624
00:47:25,349 --> 00:47:22,640
throughout the capital stood and cheered

625
00:47:28,069 --> 00:47:25,359
as discovery made its final flight

626
00:47:30,150 --> 00:47:28,079
in 2009 i had the great pleasure of

627
00:47:33,270 --> 00:47:30,160
introducing senator glenn at the air and

628
00:47:34,309 --> 00:47:33,280
space museum's aptly titled john h glenn

629
00:47:36,230 --> 00:47:34,319
lecture

630
00:47:38,470 --> 00:47:36,240
we were there to commemorate the 40th

631
00:47:40,390 --> 00:47:38,480
anniversary of the apollo program

632
00:47:43,430 --> 00:47:40,400
and he said something that struck me

633
00:47:45,990 --> 00:47:43,440
then he noted that in 1969

634
00:47:49,190 --> 00:47:46,000
people all over the world said we

635
00:47:52,790 --> 00:47:49,200
we landed on the moon that united all

636
00:47:54,790 --> 00:47:52,800
cultures across our planet many of

637
00:47:57,030 --> 00:47:54,800
course if not most of us have some

638
00:47:59,750 --> 00:47:57,040
personal connection to the shuttle

639
00:48:02,550 --> 00:47:59,760
program and the discovery my own brother

640
00:48:04,309 --> 00:48:02,560
dan was a nasa employee for 30 years and

641
00:48:06,790 --> 00:48:04,319
he worked on the discovery in the

642
00:48:08,710 --> 00:48:06,800
shuttle program from its inception

643
00:48:10,870 --> 00:48:08,720
as president of georgia tech i was

644
00:48:13,190 --> 00:48:10,880
touched when astronauts who were georgia

645
00:48:15,990 --> 00:48:13,200
tech alums brought back flags from space

646
00:48:18,150 --> 00:48:16,000
for our archives nine of them flew on

647
00:48:26,309 --> 00:48:18,160
discovery two of them were commanders

648
00:48:31,030 --> 00:48:28,309
discovery and all of the space shuttles

649
00:48:32,950 --> 00:48:31,040
also excelled at bridging cultures the

650
00:48:35,430 --> 00:48:32,960
american shuttle astronauts represented

651
00:48:37,430 --> 00:48:35,440
the full spectrum of our diverse society

652
00:48:40,230 --> 00:48:37,440
and they worked alongside counterparts

653
00:48:42,309 --> 00:48:40,240
from russia europe japan and canada on

654
00:48:44,150 --> 00:48:42,319
the international space station

655
00:48:46,150 --> 00:48:44,160
the powerful message to young people

656
00:48:48,549 --> 00:48:46,160
everywhere still resonates

657
00:48:50,950 --> 00:48:48,559
no matter where you are from with hard

658
00:48:53,589 --> 00:48:50,960
work and dedication by learning math

659
00:48:55,510 --> 00:48:53,599
science and engineering you too might

660
00:48:57,750 --> 00:48:55,520
travel to the stars

661
00:49:01,109 --> 00:48:57,760
as discovery embarks on its new mission

662
00:49:02,630 --> 00:49:01,119
it will continue to teach that lesson

663
00:49:04,549 --> 00:49:02,640
although millions of people will have

664
00:49:07,430 --> 00:49:04,559
the chance to see discovery here in

665
00:49:09,750 --> 00:49:07,440
person we can reach many more worldwide

666
00:49:12,790 --> 00:49:09,760
as we are doing at this moment through

667
00:49:14,390 --> 00:49:12,800
nasa and smithsonian websites

668
00:49:16,549 --> 00:49:14,400
all this week people are sharing their

669
00:49:19,030 --> 00:49:16,559
discovery photos comments and videos

670
00:49:21,990 --> 00:49:19,040
using flickr twitter facebook and

671
00:49:24,150 --> 00:49:22,000
youtube and on tuesday participants were

672
00:49:25,670 --> 00:49:24,160
able to use something called instagram

673
00:49:27,750 --> 00:49:25,680
to spot the shuttle

674
00:49:29,190 --> 00:49:27,760
and the results in 24 hours were just

675
00:49:31,750 --> 00:49:29,200
remarkable

676
00:49:34,710 --> 00:49:31,760
3 000 tweets about spot the shuttle

677
00:49:36,470 --> 00:49:34,720
generated 10 million people talking

678
00:49:39,109 --> 00:49:36,480
about the landing of the discovery

679
00:49:41,589 --> 00:49:39,119
amazing the tweetups have helped us and

680
00:49:43,190 --> 00:49:41,599
nasa bring our science and our

681
00:49:45,589 --> 00:49:43,200
educational program

682
00:49:47,270 --> 00:49:45,599
to the people of the world

683
00:49:49,190 --> 00:49:47,280
we were especially excited about the

684
00:49:51,589 --> 00:49:49,200
discovery's potential to help and reach

685
00:49:53,430 --> 00:49:51,599
students and inspire young people

686
00:49:55,670 --> 00:49:53,440
everywhere young people in the audience

687
00:49:57,030 --> 00:49:55,680
today we're glad you're with us today

688
00:49:58,630 --> 00:49:57,040
they will grow up to be the next

689
00:50:01,109 --> 00:49:58,640
engineers and scientists to build the

690
00:50:02,790 --> 00:50:01,119
next great advanced spacecraft

691
00:50:04,790 --> 00:50:02,800
our scientists who discover the

692
00:50:06,710 --> 00:50:04,800
hospitable world as scientists at the

693
00:50:09,510 --> 00:50:06,720
smithsonian astrophysical observatory

694
00:50:11,270 --> 00:50:09,520
today represent the best of that

695
00:50:13,829 --> 00:50:11,280
maybe one of our young visitors will

696
00:50:17,270 --> 00:50:13,839
even be the first astronaut to set foot

697
00:50:18,309 --> 00:50:17,280
on such a planet in a distant

698
00:50:20,230 --> 00:50:18,319
universe

699
00:50:22,390 --> 00:50:20,240
discovery is not simply a reminder the

700
00:50:25,270 --> 00:50:22,400
power of human ingenuity to solve great

701
00:50:27,030 --> 00:50:25,280
problems it is a challenge to heed the

702
00:50:29,349 --> 00:50:27,040
wisdom of apollo 8 commander frank

703
00:50:31,430 --> 00:50:29,359
borman who observed exploration is

704
00:50:32,549 --> 00:50:31,440
really the essence of the american

705
00:50:37,829 --> 00:50:32,559
spirit

706
00:50:48,549 --> 00:50:37,839
remember what we did before and that we

707
00:50:54,150 --> 00:50:51,270
thank you dr cliff

708
00:50:55,670 --> 00:50:54,160
our next speaker is himself an american

709
00:50:58,069 --> 00:50:55,680
icon

710
00:51:00,309 --> 00:50:58,079
at 90 years of age he has served our

711
00:51:02,549 --> 00:51:00,319
country in many capacities and has

712
00:51:04,069 --> 00:51:02,559
contributed to the space program in many

713
00:51:05,910 --> 00:51:04,079
ways

714
00:51:09,190 --> 00:51:05,920
in november he received the highest

715
00:51:11,190 --> 00:51:09,200
civilian award bestowed by congress

716
00:51:13,190 --> 00:51:11,200
the congressional gold medal

717
00:51:15,190 --> 00:51:13,200
for his pioneering contributions to

718
00:51:17,990 --> 00:51:15,200
space exploration

719
00:51:20,150 --> 00:51:18,000
it is my great privilege to introduce

720
00:51:22,150 --> 00:51:20,160
another marine aviator

721
00:51:24,470 --> 00:51:22,160
who made his historic first flight to

722
00:51:27,109 --> 00:51:24,480
orbit in 1962

723
00:51:29,750 --> 00:51:27,119
and returned to space aboard discovery

724
00:51:47,109 --> 00:51:29,760
36 years later ladies and gentlemen

725
00:51:53,030 --> 00:51:49,670
thank you

726
00:51:57,750 --> 00:51:55,990
you know perhaps it started

727
00:51:59,750 --> 00:51:57,760
with the pioneers who first lived in

728
00:52:02,069 --> 00:51:59,760
this new land

729
00:52:04,549 --> 00:52:02,079
but americans have always had a curious

730
00:52:07,270 --> 00:52:04,559
questing nature

731
00:52:09,589 --> 00:52:07,280
that has served us well

732
00:52:11,990 --> 00:52:09,599
what's over the next hill

733
00:52:13,990 --> 00:52:12,000
what's around the next bend

734
00:52:15,670 --> 00:52:14,000
in the laboratory if we could just learn

735
00:52:18,710 --> 00:52:15,680
how to separate out

736
00:52:21,270 --> 00:52:18,720
this chemical could we use it to do

737
00:52:23,270 --> 00:52:21,280
well whatever

738
00:52:25,510 --> 00:52:23,280
explore they did

739
00:52:27,349 --> 00:52:25,520
and it paid off beyond their wildest

740
00:52:29,510 --> 00:52:27,359
dreams

741
00:52:31,430 --> 00:52:29,520
they sent out scouts followed by wagon

742
00:52:34,710 --> 00:52:31,440
trains that moved to the west over

743
00:52:37,750 --> 00:52:34,720
almost insurmountable obstacles

744
00:52:39,589 --> 00:52:37,760
of forest mountains rivers deserts and

745
00:52:41,589 --> 00:52:39,599
weather

746
00:52:43,990 --> 00:52:41,599
sometimes there were losses

747
00:52:46,870 --> 00:52:44,000
that they pressed on

748
00:52:48,950 --> 00:52:46,880
a good day's trip for a wagon train was

749
00:52:50,790 --> 00:52:48,960
about 10 miles

750
00:52:53,430 --> 00:52:50,800
as they made the six months journey to

751
00:52:56,390 --> 00:52:53,440
oregon or california

752
00:52:59,510 --> 00:52:56,400
now discovery behind me here discovery

753
00:53:03,750 --> 00:52:59,520
in orbit could travel that 10 miles

754
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:07,910
albeit at a little higher altitude

755
00:53:12,069 --> 00:53:10,549
meanwhile new science breakthroughs were

756
00:53:14,549 --> 00:53:12,079
changing our nation

757
00:53:16,069 --> 00:53:14,559
in the early 1880s railroads replaced

758
00:53:18,230 --> 00:53:16,079
wagon trains

759
00:53:20,230 --> 00:53:18,240
gasoline engines brought on automobiles

760
00:53:22,630 --> 00:53:20,240
in just 23 years

761
00:53:24,950 --> 00:53:22,640
after the last wagon train

762
00:53:27,990 --> 00:53:24,960
the wright brothers flew at kitty hawk

763
00:53:30,630 --> 00:53:28,000
in 1903.

764
00:53:33,349 --> 00:53:30,640
for tens of thousands of years people

765
00:53:35,990 --> 00:53:33,359
looked up at the blue sky by day

766
00:53:37,750 --> 00:53:36,000
and the stars and moon by night

767
00:53:39,510 --> 00:53:37,760
and wondered what was

768
00:53:45,430 --> 00:53:39,520
up there

769
00:53:47,030 --> 00:53:45,440
what we do what we do if we could go

770
00:53:48,870 --> 00:53:47,040
up there

771
00:53:51,430 --> 00:53:48,880
there seem to be again

772
00:53:54,390 --> 00:53:51,440
almost insurmountable odds

773
00:53:56,309 --> 00:53:54,400
against that ever happening

774
00:53:58,630 --> 00:53:56,319
but we must count ourselves among the

775
00:54:01,589 --> 00:53:58,640
most fortunate people of all time to be

776
00:54:04,150 --> 00:54:01,599
living when we could realize that ages

777
00:54:05,750 --> 00:54:04,160
old dream to finally go

778
00:54:07,750 --> 00:54:05,760
up there

779
00:54:11,750 --> 00:54:07,760
as we made suborbital then orbital

780
00:54:14,230 --> 00:54:11,760
flight in 1962 just 59 years

781
00:54:16,309 --> 00:54:14,240
after kitty hawk

782
00:54:18,790 --> 00:54:16,319
mercury and gemini developed our

783
00:54:21,030 --> 00:54:18,800
abilities followed by apollo

784
00:54:23,270 --> 00:54:21,040
and neil armstrong's never to be

785
00:54:25,829 --> 00:54:23,280
forgotten first ever

786
00:54:27,990 --> 00:54:25,839
footprints on some place other than

787
00:54:29,910 --> 00:54:28,000
earth

788
00:54:32,230 --> 00:54:29,920
we transitioned from apollo to a new

789
00:54:34,790 --> 00:54:32,240
vehicle the space shuttle which was

790
00:54:36,790 --> 00:54:34,800
intended to broaden opportunities for

791
00:54:39,430 --> 00:54:36,800
orbital activities

792
00:54:41,589 --> 00:54:39,440
and it certainly did

793
00:54:44,150 --> 00:54:41,599
space shuttle discovery is the star it

794
00:54:45,990 --> 00:54:44,160
has the most extensive record of all the

795
00:54:48,470 --> 00:54:46,000
shuttle fleet

796
00:54:50,870 --> 00:54:48,480
his 39 missions included

797
00:54:53,589 --> 00:54:50,880
a whole bunch of things but it became a

798
00:54:56,390 --> 00:54:53,599
science platform for nine flights

799
00:54:59,349 --> 00:54:56,400
a satellite launcher for 12 flights

800
00:55:00,549 --> 00:54:59,359
a telescope repair station which charlie

801
00:55:02,390 --> 00:55:00,559
already mentioned and he was the

802
00:55:04,390 --> 00:55:02,400
commander of putting it up there

803
00:55:06,710 --> 00:55:04,400
on discovery that has literally

804
00:55:07,990 --> 00:55:06,720
rewritten the astronomy books for all

805
00:55:11,030 --> 00:55:08,000
time

806
00:55:12,549 --> 00:55:11,040
and also served as a plane flat out

807
00:55:15,270 --> 00:55:12,559
truck

808
00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:15,280
it was the first space station delivery

809
00:55:20,069 --> 00:55:18,160
truck 13 flights it made

810
00:55:23,349 --> 00:55:20,079
to put together the space station that

811
00:55:25,670 --> 00:55:23,359
goes over us even today

812
00:55:27,430 --> 00:55:25,680
discovery was truly a heavy hauler in

813
00:55:28,790 --> 00:55:27,440
construction of the international space

814
00:55:33,670 --> 00:55:28,800
station

815
00:55:35,589 --> 00:55:33,680
research with 15 international partners

816
00:55:37,670 --> 00:55:35,599
for us in the most unique

817
00:55:40,309 --> 00:55:37,680
scientific laboratory

818
00:55:43,270 --> 00:55:40,319
ever conceived

819
00:55:45,030 --> 00:55:43,280
the unfortunate decision made eight and

820
00:55:46,309 --> 00:55:45,040
a half years ago to terminate the

821
00:55:49,190 --> 00:55:46,319
shuttle fleet

822
00:55:51,030 --> 00:55:49,200
in my view prematurely grounded

823
00:55:53,349 --> 00:55:51,040
discovery and delayed our research but

824
00:55:55,589 --> 00:55:53,359
those decisions have been made

825
00:55:58,710 --> 00:55:55,599
and we recovered and now we move on with

826
00:56:08,870 --> 00:55:58,720
new programs and possibilities

827
00:56:12,390 --> 00:56:10,710
today we also honor those who made

828
00:56:14,309 --> 00:56:12,400
discovery possible

829
00:56:17,349 --> 00:56:14,319
the scientists engineers who designed

830
00:56:19,589 --> 00:56:17,359
this most complex machine ever built

831
00:56:22,789 --> 00:56:19,599
the technicians and dedicated workforce

832
00:56:24,950 --> 00:56:22,799
that kept it not only flight worthy

833
00:56:26,710 --> 00:56:24,960
but flight excellent

834
00:56:29,349 --> 00:56:26,720
through these many years

835
00:56:30,710 --> 00:56:29,359
and the nearly 250 astronauts who flew

836
00:56:33,510 --> 00:56:30,720
on discovery

837
00:56:37,190 --> 00:56:33,520
represented here today by the 15 former

838
00:56:40,710 --> 00:56:37,200
discovery flight commanders

839
00:56:42,789 --> 00:56:40,720
today discovery takes on a new mission

840
00:56:45,109 --> 00:56:42,799
less dynamic perhaps

841
00:56:47,190 --> 00:56:45,119
but nonetheless important

842
00:56:50,470 --> 00:56:47,200
it will be on display not only as a

843
00:56:53,510 --> 00:56:50,480
testament to events of our time

844
00:56:55,910 --> 00:56:53,520
but also as an inspiration

845
00:56:58,549 --> 00:56:55,920
to future generations

846
00:57:01,030 --> 00:56:58,559
it will be a symbol for our nation

847
00:57:03,670 --> 00:57:01,040
of space flight that presents optimism

848
00:57:05,270 --> 00:57:03,680
and hope and challenge and leadership

849
00:57:06,710 --> 00:57:05,280
and aspiration

850
00:57:08,950 --> 00:57:06,720
to explore

851
00:57:10,549 --> 00:57:08,960
and to excel

852
00:57:12,549 --> 00:57:10,559
and that's a big mission in its own

853
00:57:14,309 --> 00:57:12,559
right

854
00:57:17,990 --> 00:57:14,319
we recently celebrated a 50th

855
00:57:19,829 --> 00:57:18,000
anniversary of our first orbital flight

856
00:57:21,670 --> 00:57:19,839
in a speech to congress following that

857
00:57:25,190 --> 00:57:21,680
flight i closed with

858
00:57:26,870 --> 00:57:25,200
a statement that i would repeat today

859
00:57:28,789 --> 00:57:26,880
as our knowledge of the universe in

860
00:57:31,510 --> 00:57:28,799
which we live increases

861
00:57:33,109 --> 00:57:31,520
may god grant us the wisdom and guidance

862
00:57:51,510 --> 00:57:33,119
to use it wisely

863
00:57:55,190 --> 00:57:53,190
an internationally known

864
00:57:56,470 --> 00:57:55,200
physicist and president of purdue

865
00:57:58,710 --> 00:57:56,480
university

866
00:58:01,589 --> 00:57:58,720
our next speaker is also helping to

867
00:58:03,670 --> 00:58:01,599
shape the future of the smithsonian

868
00:58:06,069 --> 00:58:03,680
it's an honor to introduce the chair of

869
00:58:13,430 --> 00:58:06,079

of the smithsonian's board of regents

889
00:59:24,390 --> 00:59:23,200
but also as a former chief scientist for

890
00:59:27,990 --> 00:59:24,400
nasa

891
00:59:30,549 --> 00:59:28,000
and as president of purdue university

892
00:59:33,270 --> 00:59:30,559
where one of our goals is launching

893
00:59:37,589 --> 00:59:33,280
tomorrow's leaders

894
00:59:41,109 --> 00:59:37,599
at purdue we've had 22 of our alumni go

895
00:59:42,870 --> 00:59:41,119
into space including the first and last

896
00:59:44,829 --> 00:59:42,880
astronauts on the moon

897
00:59:49,030 --> 00:59:44,839
and many shuttle

898
00:59:51,270 --> 00:59:49,040
astronauts and i might add following

899
00:59:54,390 --> 00:59:51,280
senator glenn's remarks

900
00:59:56,630 --> 00:59:54,400
hundreds of engineers and scientists who

901
01:00:00,069 --> 00:59:56,640
have helped ensure that the shuttle

902
01:00:04,630 --> 01:00:00,079
program makes a tremendous impact for us

903
01:00:07,430 --> 01:00:04,640
all for knowledge and its communication

904
01:00:09,829 --> 01:00:07,440
since before senator glenn first orbited

905
01:00:12,950 --> 01:00:09,839
the earth in 1962

906
01:00:14,390 --> 01:00:12,960
nasa and the smithsonian have recognized

907
01:00:17,190 --> 01:00:14,400
the need to preserve

908
01:00:22,069 --> 01:00:17,200
and make accessible artifacts that can

909
01:00:24,630 --> 01:00:22,079
best tell the story of america in space

910
01:00:26,069 --> 01:00:24,640
as a result of that over 50-year

911
01:00:29,430 --> 01:00:26,079
partnership

912
01:00:32,390 --> 01:00:29,440
millions of americans annually visit the

913
01:00:35,829 --> 01:00:32,400
national air and space museum

914
01:00:39,030 --> 01:00:35,839
including this the udvar hazy center

915
01:00:42,069 --> 01:00:39,040
to learn about and be inspired by the

916
01:00:46,549 --> 01:00:42,079
thousands of historic objects nasa has

917
01:00:49,430 --> 01:00:46,559
entrusted to the smithsonian's care

918
01:00:53,030 --> 01:00:49,440
some of the objects are iconic

919
01:00:55,589 --> 01:00:53,040
the apollo 11 command module colombia

920
01:00:57,430 --> 01:00:55,599
and senator glenn's mercury friendship

921
01:01:00,150 --> 01:00:57,440
seven

922
01:01:04,150 --> 01:01:00,160
others may be less so

923
01:01:07,510 --> 01:01:04,160
parachutes tools engine parts

924
01:01:10,150 --> 01:01:07,520
but all of them help us understand the

925
01:01:14,470 --> 01:01:10,160
unique place that the space program

926
01:01:16,710 --> 01:01:14,480
holds in our imagination

927
01:01:19,349 --> 01:01:16,720
before discovery can officially join

928
01:01:21,430 --> 01:01:19,359
them in the national collection

929
01:01:22,870 --> 01:01:21,440
we have a little bit of paperwork to

930
01:01:25,829 --> 01:01:22,880
complete

931
01:01:29,349 --> 01:01:25,839
the agreement transferring discovery

932
01:01:32,470 --> 01:01:29,359
from nasa to the smithsonian

933
01:01:34,870 --> 01:01:32,480
i would now like to ask general bolden

934
01:01:37,750 --> 01:01:34,880
as the representative of nasa

935
01:01:40,549 --> 01:01:37,760
and secretary clough and general daily

936
01:01:43,349 --> 01:01:40,559
as representatives of the smithsonian

937
01:01:46,230 --> 01:01:43,359
and national air and space museum to

938
01:01:50,829 --> 01:01:48,710
and senator glenn would you please join

939
01:02:04,950 --> 01:01:50,839
them as the signing

940
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:31,910
it witness

941
01:02:36,870 --> 01:02:34,710
thank you the space shuttle discovery is

942
01:02:58,710 --> 01:02:36,880
now officially part of the national

943
01:03:03,829 --> 01:03:01,589
well thank you dr cordo we appreciate

944
01:03:05,270 --> 01:03:03,839
you presiding at this ceremony

945
01:03:07,589 --> 01:03:05,280
you know

946
01:03:08,710 --> 01:03:07,599
you could learn a lesson from today's

947
01:03:10,710 --> 01:03:08,720
program

948
01:03:13,109 --> 01:03:10,720
have you noticed how disrespectful these

949
01:03:14,549 --> 01:03:13,119
guys in the back row are

950
01:03:16,789 --> 01:03:14,559
i mean their boss stands up and they

951
01:03:18,710 --> 01:03:16,799
laugh at it

952
01:03:21,190 --> 01:03:18,720
but that's what they are they are

953
01:03:22,549 --> 01:03:21,200
