00:00:12,169 --> 00:00:11,120
this week at NASA we are now five

2
00:00:14,570 --> 00:00:12,179
minutes away from the targeted

3
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:14,580
splashdown time of Dragon the mission of

4
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:16,650
the first commercial spacecraft to visit

5
00:00:20,810 --> 00:00:18,510
the International Space Station came to

6
00:00:23,570 --> 00:00:20,820
a successful conclusion with a return to

7
00:00:25,580 --> 00:00:23,580
Earth of the SpaceX Dragon capsule which

8
00:00:28,490 --> 00:00:25,590
splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off

9
00:00:30,589 --> 00:00:28,500
the coast of Baja California that capped

10
00:00:32,749 --> 00:00:30,599
up a nine-day trip during which dragon

11
00:00:35,569 --> 00:00:32,759
demonstrated its ability to maneuver in

12
00:00:37,819 --> 00:00:35,579
orbit safely approach the space station

13
00:00:39,619 --> 00:00:37,829
and be grappled and birth to the

14
00:00:41,810 --> 00:00:39,629
orbiting laboratory we look forward to

15
00:00:43,670 --> 00:00:41,820
doing lots of blood small missions in

16
00:00:46,819 --> 00:00:43,680
the future and continuing to upgrade the

17
00:00:48,590 --> 00:00:46,829
technology and push the the frontier of

18
00:00:50,260 --> 00:00:48,600
space transportation we've been waiting

19
00:00:54,250 --> 00:00:50,270
for this day and

20
00:00:57,970 --> 00:00:54,260
it is certainly is a tremendous day so

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:00:57,980
we're looking forward now to to routine

22
00:01:03,299 --> 00:01:01,210
now regular cargo services from you

23
00:01:06,370 --> 00:01:03,309
congratulations on it just an amazing

24
00:01:08,350 --> 00:01:06,380
amazing mission the SpaceX demonstration

76
00:03:20,030 --> 00:03:15,760
propel NASA's Orion spacecraft to

77
00:03:25,410 --> 00:03:22,710
NASA's nuclear spectroscopic telescope

78
00:03:27,300 --> 00:03:25,420

for hidden black holes new star will be

83
00:03:38,730 --> 00:03:35,770
opening up a new window on the universe

84
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:38,740
and although we are going into this

85
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:40,510
mission with many scientific questions

86
00:03:45,180 --> 00:03:42,610
that we know new so provide the data

87
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:45,190
that will give us the answers like all

88
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:47,530
of our NASA missions we're going to find

89
00:03:51,150 --> 00:03:49,360
unexpected things out there that will

90
00:03:52,830 --> 00:03:51,160
lead us to questions and answers that we

91
00:03:54,990 --> 00:03:52,840
aren't even anticipating at this time

92
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:55,000
the new star observatory will be

93
00:03:58,830 --> 00:03:56,130
launched aboard Orbital Sciences

94
00:04:01,290 --> 00:03:58,840
corporations Pegasus rocket from the

95
00:04:04,259 --> 00:04:01,300
belly of the company's l-1011 stargazer

97
00:04:09,270 --> 00:04:06,070
mission led by the California Institute

98
00:04:13,259 --> 00:04:09,280
of Technology in Pasadena and managed by

99
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:13,269
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory we are

100
00:04:16,890 --> 00:04:15,250
here today to announce that for the very

101
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:16,900
first time we've been able to measure

102
00:04:21,330 --> 00:04:19,510
the sideways motion in astronomy also

103
00:04:23,370 --> 00:04:21,340
known as proper motion of the Andromeda

104
00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:23,380
galaxy scientists using the Hubble Space

105
00:04:28,290 --> 00:04:25,600
Telescope are predicting the next major

106
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:28,300
cosmic event expected to affect our

107
00:04:33,450 --> 00:04:31,570
Milky Way galaxy Sun and solar system we

108
00:04:35,370 --> 00:04:33,460
finds that too within the precision of

109
00:04:37,260 --> 00:04:35,380
our measurements the Andromeda galaxy is

110
00:04:39,420 --> 00:04:37,270
heading straight in our direction what

111
00:04:42,090 --> 00:04:39,430
this means is that the galaxies will

112
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:42,100
collide scientists say the Titanic

113
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:43,690
collision between the Milky Way and

114
00:04:48,750 --> 00:04:46,720
Andromeda galaxy's is expected to occur

115
00:04:50,670 --> 00:04:48,760
about four billion years from now and

116
00:04:52,650 --> 00:04:50,680
will ultimately result in the two

117
00:04:54,659 --> 00:04:52,660
galaxies merging to form a single

118
00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:54,669
elliptical galaxy even though it's

119
00:04:59,219 --> 00:04:57,040
billions of years in the future it gives

120
00:05:01,890 --> 00:04:59,229
us some portrait of what the night sky

121
00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:01,900
will look like a really amazing event

122
00:05:05,950 --> 00:05:04,240
for whatever you know life exists on

123
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:05,960
earth at that time of

124
00:05:09,969 --> 00:05:08,210
you know things that will transpire in

125
00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:09,979
the cosmos in the future and I think

126
00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:11,360
that's a very exciting thing for Hubble

127
00:05:17,950 --> 00:05:15,680
to be doing I believe we have a very

128
00:05:20,650 --> 00:05:17,960
very bright future and you all are

129
00:05:22,450 --> 00:05:20,660
extremely critical to our success in

130
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:22,460
leading the way in that future NASA

144
00:06:02,620 --> 00:06:00,259
invest in the space program we are not

145
00:06:04,210 --> 00:06:02,630
