millions around the globe

25
00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:13,680

space

31
00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:27,200
a dynamic infrastructure is taking shape

32
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:29,200
one designed to host many kinds of

33
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:31,520
rockets and spacecraft sending people on

34
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:34,000

orbiter processing facility 3 no longer

36
00:01:40,630 --> 00:01:38,720
needed to surface shuttles has been

37
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:40,640
revamped and turned over to space

38
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:41,840
florida

39
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:43,360
they will partner with the boeing

40
00:01:48,429 --> 00:01:45,920
company to manufacture assemble and test

cst-100 spacecraft

43
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:54,000
opfs 1 and 2 also are expected to be

44
00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:55,680
used in the future for spacecraft

45
00:02:00,789 --> 00:01:57,680
processing as kennedy's unique

46
00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:00,799
capabilities are adapted to new users

47
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:03,040
negotiations are also underway at launch

48
00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:06,240
complex 39 for the use of its twin pads

00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:08,560
a and b

50
00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:10,239
we still have many challenges in front

51
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:11,280
of us

52
00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:13,680
but i believe our future is bright

53
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:16,080
and as great as our last 50 years have

54
00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:18,560
been i believe our next 50 years are

55
00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:21,040
going to be even better

56
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:23,280
some of the work has already paid off

57
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:25,280
offering the nasa community hints of

58
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:27,280
what the future holds

59
00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:29,200
spacex for instance launched a

60
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:31,200
demonstration cargo delivery flight to

61
00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:34,480
the international space station in may

62
00:02:38,470 --> 00:02:36,239
the company and nasa prove that

63
00:02:42,309 --> 00:02:38,480
cooperation can overcome daunting

64
00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:42,319
technical hurdles safely and effectively

65
00:02:46,869 --> 00:02:45,120
like opf-3 the high bay at the

66
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:46,879
operations and checkout building has

67
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:49,360
been remade into a modern aerospace

68
00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:51,040
factory floor

69
00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:53,120
space florida and lockheed martin space

70
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:55,680
systems company renovated the facility

71
00:02:59,430 --> 00:02:57,760
once used to process space vehicles in

72
00:03:01,430 --> 00:02:59,440
the apollo era

73
00:03:03,910 --> 00:03:01,440
it will serve as the final assembly and

74
00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:03,920
checkout facility for the orion crew

75
00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:06,080
exploration vehicles which includes the

76
00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:09,040
crew and service modules

77
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:11,200
the first space bound orion rolled into

78
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:13,920
the facility june 29th to begin assembly

79
00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:16,239
and processing for a flight test in

80
00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:18,080
2014.

81
00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:20,080
nasa and its astronauts are counting on

82
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:22,640
the orion to take people into deep space

83
00:03:27,190 --> 00:03:25,280
for the first time since apollo

84
00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:27,200
we don't know what we don't know and we

85
00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:28,319
find those things we make those

86
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:29,680
discoveries we're going to be better off

87
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:31,200
just as a people but also it's going to

88
00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:32,640
have applications that help make our

89
00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:34,640
life better

90
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:36,720
workers and technicians are refurbishing

91
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:39,120
the vehicle assembly building launch pad

92
00:03:42,229 --> 00:03:40,560
39b

93
00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:42,239
and numerous other facilities in

94
00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:44,720
anticipation of a new golden age of

95
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:47,760
space flight when the work is completed

96
00:03:52,390 --> 00:03:49,760
the center will for the first time be

97
00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:52,400
equipped to assemble process and launch

98
00:03:56,149 --> 00:03:54,080
several kinds of spacecraft and

99
00:03:58,830 --> 00:03:56,159
launchers including ships designed to

100
00:04:00,390 --> 00:03:58,840
take astronauts far beyond low earth

101
00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:00,400
orbit

102
00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:02,400
the commercial crew program based at

103
00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:04,720
kennedy has made strides toward bringing

104
00:04:09,509 --> 00:04:07,360
those vehicles into existence by sharing

105
00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:09,519
nasa's hard-earned expertise with

106
00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:11,200
private companies

107
00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:13,200
the goal is to develop innovative

108
00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:15,439
spacecraft to take astronauts to the

109
00:04:19,749 --> 00:04:18,079
international space station

110
00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:19,759
while the launchers and spacecraft that

111
00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:22,000
will take people into space are invented

112
00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:23,199
and tested

113
00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:25,520
nasa's launch services program continues

114
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:27,440
to dispatch nasa explorers of a

115
00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:30,400
different kind to survey the cosmos and

116
00:04:35,189 --> 00:04:32,080
visit some of the most tantalizing

117
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:35,199
destinations in the solar system

118
00:04:39,909 --> 00:04:37,520
riding atop an atlas v rocket the

119
00:04:43,670 --> 00:04:39,919
car-sized rover curiosity lifted off

120
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:43,680
from kennedy on november 26 2011 on an

121
00:04:48,629 --> 00:04:45,840
ambitious mission to place a robotic

122
00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:48,639
geologist on mars so researchers can

123
00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:50,880
find out more about the mysterious red

124
00:04:55,110 --> 00:04:52,639
planet

125
00:04:57,590 --> 00:04:55,120
the juno mission also began at kennedy

126
00:04:59,749 --> 00:04:57,600
with an atlas v thundering spaceward on

127
00:05:01,909 --> 00:04:59,759
august 5th to place the four-ton

128
00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:01,919
spacecraft on a course for jupiter the

129
00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:04,960
largest planet in the solar system

130
00:05:08,629 --> 00:05:06,880
a pair of small spacecraft known as

131
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:08,639
grail were sent to our closest

132
00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:10,720
astronomical neighbor the moon on a

133
00:05:15,110 --> 00:05:13,759
delta ii rocket on september 10th to map

134
00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:15,120
the lunar gravity field with

135
00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:21,189
from new programs being established to

136
00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:23,520
the refurbishment of center landmarks to

137
00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:25,520
the successful launches of innovative

138
00:05:30,870 --> 00:05:28,320
spacecraft kennedy remains at center

139
00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:30,880
stage in nasa's space exploration

140
00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:34,400
ambitions the road to space has always

141
00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:36,080
and always will
