00:28:01,510 --> 00:27:59,200
all humankind

428
00:28:03,590 --> 00:28:01,520
that is in fact what we do that is our

429
00:28:04,950 --> 00:28:03,600
our charge and we carry that out through

430
00:28:07,190 --> 00:28:04,960
unbelievable

431
00:28:09,430 --> 00:28:07,200
exploration efforts in air and space and

432
00:28:12,389 --> 00:28:09,440
if just looking at those medals we've

433
00:28:14,870 --> 00:28:12,399
already given uh and awards all the way

434
00:28:17,510 --> 00:28:14,880
from a clean audit to

435
00:28:20,389 --> 00:28:17,520
you know measuring the precise timing

436
00:28:22,549 --> 00:28:20,399
and gravity on the moon uh shows you the

437
00:28:24,710 --> 00:28:22,559
kinds of things that you all are doing

438
00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:24,720

439
00:28:27,750 --> 00:28:26,240
thank you and honor you the

440
00:28:31,590 --> 00:28:27,760
distinguished service medals are really

441
00:28:33,590 --> 00:28:31,600
our gold gold medals in today's olympics

442
00:28:36,230 --> 00:28:33,600
and they recognize respectively a

443
00:28:38,630 --> 00:28:36,240
government employee or non-government

444
00:28:40,789 --> 00:28:38,640
individual whose distinguished service

445
00:28:43,269 --> 00:28:40,799
ability or vision has personally

446
00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:43,279
contributed to nasa's advancement of the

447
00:28:47,110 --> 00:28:45,600
united states interests

448
00:28:49,269 --> 00:28:47,120
the individual's achievement or

449
00:28:52,389 --> 00:28:49,279
contribution must demonstrate a level of

450
00:28:54,630 --> 00:28:52,399
excellence that has made a profound

451
00:28:57,590 --> 00:28:54,640
or indelible impact

452
00:29:00,549 --> 00:28:57,600
on nasa mission success and therefore

453
00:29:03,510 --> 00:29:00,559
the contribution is so extraordinary

454
00:29:05,669 --> 00:29:03,520
that other forms of recognition by nasa

455
00:29:09,110 --> 00:29:05,679
would be inadequate

456
00:29:12,230 --> 00:29:09,120
so that is quite a charge to

457
00:29:14,470 --> 00:29:12,240
think through as we present now the

458
00:29:17,269 --> 00:29:14,480
distinguished service medals and the

459
00:29:26,950 --> 00:29:17,279

00:29:31,029 --> 00:29:29,269

which the service was performed

467
00:29:48,870 --> 00:29:45,600
