1
00:00:00,260 --> 00:00:09,830
liftoff

2
00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:15,420
we were in Cold War that was darn close

3
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:17,920
to hot war with the Russians they had

4
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:20,410
been launching some rockets and ours too

5
00:00:24,750 --> 00:00:22,090
often had been blowing up on the lunch

6
00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:24,760
bag and that was sort of the background

7
00:00:30,599 --> 00:00:28,480
of what happened in in 57 when they sent

8
00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:30,609
up spudnick right there i think we all

9
00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:33,640
inwardly resolved that one go left it

10
00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:36,790
will do something about it that's

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:38,470
something would be the National

12
00:00:43,020 --> 00:00:41,050
Aeronautics and Space Administration in

13
00:00:45,060 --> 00:00:43,030
a little more than a decade the people

14
00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:45,070
of NASA would devise the methods and

15
00:00:50,539 --> 00:00:47,409
build the machines to send satellites to

16
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:50,549
faraway worlds and land man on the moon

17
00:00:56,579 --> 00:00:53,110
explore one had science instruments on

18
00:01:02,160 --> 00:00:56,589
and so is really marks the first use of

19
00:01:04,020 --> 00:01:02,170
space for scientific exploration we have

20
00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:04,030
one of the most challenging assignments

21
00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:07,200
that has ever been given to modern man

22
00:01:15,820 --> 00:01:09,729
we will be preparing for the day when

23
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:19,310
alan shepard's flight was a fantastic

24
00:01:24,530 --> 00:01:21,930
moment in the history of the NASA I

25
00:01:27,290 --> 00:01:24,540
think back on that and I watch him come

26
00:01:30,830 --> 00:01:27,300
out of that van on the redstone pad and

27
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:30,840
look up at that rocket in that silver

28
00:01:41,450 --> 00:01:34,050
suit he had on wondering himself what

29
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:41,460
the hell he was doing there this nation

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:43,890
should commit itself to achieving the

31
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:46,530
goal before this decade is out of

32
00:01:51,530 --> 00:01:49,290
landing a man on the moon and returning

33
00:01:53,870 --> 00:01:51,540
him safely to the earth that was all

34
00:01:56,330 --> 00:01:53,880
heady stuff and we were all you know go

35
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:56,340
go man go some of the doctors were

36
00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:58,290
concerned for instance that when you're

37
00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:00,240
in zero-g for a while for several hours

38
00:02:13,070 --> 00:02:02,430
you're afraid your eyes might change

39
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:13,080
shape it truly was the age of aquarius

40
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:17,250
in that 60s the mood around us was

41
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:20,850
always electric the press revered the

42
00:02:26,509 --> 00:02:23,610
astronauts and it revered those of us in

43
00:02:28,460 --> 00:02:26,519
the front of the program communications

44
00:02:32,210 --> 00:02:28,470
are lots of course cable to beer and a

45
00:02:34,340 --> 00:02:32,220
lot of other neat things have happened

46
00:02:37,250 --> 00:02:34,350
as a result of that technology push

47
00:02:40,009 --> 00:02:37,260
there's the drop before it returns to

48
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:40,019
earth again the x-15 may fly some 60

49
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:42,510
miles straight up at nearly 4,000 miles

50
00:02:46,430 --> 00:02:44,370
per hour the country was trying to build

51
00:02:48,110 --> 00:02:46,440
a supersonic transport at least to do

52
00:02:51,229 --> 00:02:48,120
some research and build some prototypes

53
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:51,239
so by trying to study the flow fields

54
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:53,130
about these vehicles trying to compute

55
00:02:57,170 --> 00:02:54,930
the sonic booms and their propagation to

56
00:03:00,200 --> 00:02:57,180
the ground was a very interesting and

57
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:07,820
one liftoff Gemini was the program

58
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:11,280
between mercury the single seater in

59
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:14,250
Earth orbit and Apollo the three seater

60
00:03:21,490 --> 00:03:16,770
all the way to the moon Kevin e12

61
00:03:25,220 --> 00:03:21,500
Houston Capcom alleviate beautiful job

62
00:03:29,570 --> 00:03:25,230
the fire on the pad was a traumatic

63
00:03:32,180 --> 00:03:29,580
event they ripped us apart be perfectly

64
00:03:34,730 --> 00:03:32,190
honest with you it was a terrible day

65
00:03:36,290 --> 00:03:34,740
five weeks later as the backup crew we

66
00:03:39,050 --> 00:03:36,300
inherited the first manned apollo

67
00:03:40,340 --> 00:03:39,060
mission which turned out the Apollo 7 so

68
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:40,350
we were quite proud of the fact that

69
00:03:45,050 --> 00:03:42,450
we've had a triumph out of a disaster

70
00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:45,060
the first time we flew a crew on the big

71
00:03:50,090 --> 00:03:48,480
Saturn 5 we sent him to the moon pen

72
00:03:55,850 --> 00:03:50,100
orbit not just just laying around the

73
00:03:57,590 --> 00:03:55,860
back very bold decision hello car I just

74
00:04:00,500 --> 00:03:57,600
thought there were so many unknowns that

75
00:04:03,530 --> 00:04:00,510
I would have given us about a 50-50

76
00:04:07,010 --> 00:04:03,540
chance of being the first flight to land

77
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:07,020
and return someone safely okay engine

78
00:04:14,690 --> 00:04:11,010
stop we copy you down eagle and gaudy

79
00:04:18,050 --> 00:04:14,700
days here eagle has landed I think it

80
00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:18,060
was the biggest event from an aviation

81
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:19,710
point of view and probably from a

82
00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:21,570
scientific point of view that happened

83
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:24,510
in 20th century at one small step for

84
00:04:40,989 --> 00:04:38,199
ok yeah that Apollo here supposed to be

85
00:04:43,869 --> 00:04:40,999
looking out the act so we are vetting

86
00:04:46,689 --> 00:04:43,879
shopping that series of events started

87
00:04:48,939 --> 00:04:46,699
the saga of Apollo 13 the trust that

88
00:04:51,820 --> 00:04:48,949
existed between crew and ground was

89
00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:51,830
absolute because it takes trust to make

90
00:04:57,639 --> 00:04:54,889
split-second decisions the whole family

91
00:05:06,579 --> 00:04:57,649
bought out almost from the base to the

92
00:05:08,859 --> 00:05:06,589
agent and welcome on the successful

93
00:05:10,719 --> 00:05:08,869
return to Earth aboard Apollo 13 was the

94
00:05:14,169 --> 00:05:10,729
culmination of the efforts by a host of

95
00:05:16,029 --> 00:05:14,179
people who simply refused to give up it

96
00:05:19,239 --> 00:05:16,039
was an accomplishment of human ingenuity

97
00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:19,249
and tenacity the people of NASA would

98
00:05:24,699 --> 00:05:21,409
harness the spirit in pursuit of space

99
00:05:26,859 --> 00:05:24,709
exploration beyond our wildest dreams we

100
00:05:29,409 --> 00:05:26,869
learn about other worlds and other solar

101
00:05:33,999 --> 00:05:29,419
systems and power missions could explore

102
00:05:41,499 --> 00:05:38,200
ah ah Charlie's best for home come on

103
00:05:43,059 --> 00:05:41,509
out here give me a phone we not only did

104
00:05:46,119 --> 00:05:43,069
a lot of work on the room we had a good

105
00:05:48,909 --> 00:05:46,129
time pretty happy city hopped over here

106
00:05:51,219 --> 00:05:48,919
and do you know you're only gonna come

107
00:05:53,019 --> 00:05:51,229
that way once in your life it's gotta be

108
00:06:05,039 --> 00:05:53,029
one of most proud moments of my life I

109
00:06:12,310 --> 00:06:09,939
give us three summers makes you think

110
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,060
sunny

111
00:06:22,700 --> 00:06:19,580
we saw the fragments around Skylab go

112
00:06:25,070 --> 00:06:22,710
over us and I thought oh brother there's

113
00:06:29,210 --> 00:06:25,080
been an accident in the Skylab launch

114
00:06:31,670 --> 00:06:29,220
and Jack Liao's m'a was the best EV a

115
00:06:34,070 --> 00:06:31,680
guy that I've ever met lo and behold he

116
00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:34,080
goes out there and rules around with it

117
00:06:38,050 --> 00:06:35,520
a while puts it all together and it

118
00:06:40,820 --> 00:06:38,060
worked great and he went on to a brim

119
00:06:43,370 --> 00:06:40,830
scientific discovery and gave us some

120
00:06:51,379 --> 00:06:43,380
forward momentum in the science that

121
00:06:54,820 --> 00:06:51,389
continues right now till today let me

122
00:06:58,010 --> 00:06:54,830
call to express my very great admiration

123
00:07:02,320 --> 00:06:58,020
for your hard work your total dedication

124
00:07:05,810 --> 00:07:02,330
in preparing for this first joint flight

125
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:05,820
Mars showed seasonal variations that

126
00:07:10,340 --> 00:07:08,850
suggested something was alive and I

127
00:07:13,460 --> 00:07:10,350
think that was the basis for creating

128
00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:13,470
Viking when we got down and found out

129
00:07:19,250 --> 00:07:17,310
how dry and arid and barren the place

130
00:07:21,740 --> 00:07:19,260
really was Taemin's a bit of a surprise

131
00:07:23,390 --> 00:07:21,750
when we flew by Neptune people were

132
00:07:25,969 --> 00:07:23,400
standing in line at night at

133
00:07:27,770 --> 00:07:25,979
planetariums in order to be able to see

134
00:07:40,370 --> 00:07:27,780
the images when Voyager was flying by

135
00:07:44,129 --> 00:07:40,380
these worlds or we've gone for main

136
00:07:44,139 --> 00:08:12,809
the shuttle has cleared the tower

137
00:08:16,390 --> 00:08:14,740
the fact that I was going to be the

138
00:08:20,529 --> 00:08:16,400
first American woman to go into space

139
00:08:24,730 --> 00:08:20,539
carried huge expectations along with it

140
00:08:26,529 --> 00:08:24,740
it wasn't from me desire to be the first

141
00:08:28,270 --> 00:08:26,539
African American in space because I

142
00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:28,280
figured being the number two that would

143
00:08:38,659 --> 00:08:34,930
risk is something we have to just really

144
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:38,669
consider as part of our life especially

145
00:08:42,380 --> 00:08:40,890
in exploration you know the ones that

146
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:42,390
we've lost were probably the first ones

147
00:08:49,830 --> 00:08:44,730
to tell you keep pressing on don't stop

148
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:56,460
two phases discovery clears the tower

149
00:09:01,930 --> 00:08:59,770
discovery go for Hubble release Hubble

150
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:01,940
is one of the most phenomenal things

151
00:09:07,210 --> 00:09:04,850
we've ever done in space it really has

152
00:09:09,370 --> 00:09:07,220
changed and the data that we get from

153
00:09:11,710 --> 00:09:09,380
Hubble will continue to change the way

154
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:11,720
we think about ourselves about the

155
00:09:15,940 --> 00:09:13,970
universe and our place in it NASA

156
00:09:17,290 --> 00:09:15,950
especially Goddard was the place where I

157
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:17,300
could carry out the dreams that I had

158
00:09:21,910 --> 00:09:20,570
which were to push forward an experiment

159
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:21,920
that would measure the Big Bang

160
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:23,690
radiation better than anyone had ever

161
00:09:28,450 --> 00:09:26,330
tried before nowadays we're discovering

162
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:28,460
what is the universe really like and

163
00:09:32,940 --> 00:09:30,650
it's totally magnificent one can only be

164
00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:32,950
inspired an awestruck by what we find

165
00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:35,750
instead alas we have capture I was

166
00:09:39,820 --> 00:09:37,760
extremely fortunate that I was able to

167
00:09:41,230 --> 00:09:39,830
be part of the shuttle-mir program it's

168
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:41,240
a challenge for the Russians it was a

169
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:42,890
challenge for the Americans but

170
00:09:50,329 --> 00:09:44,690
everybody wanted to work together to

171
00:09:55,519 --> 00:09:53,210
we have initial contact initial contact

172
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:55,529
of the Soyuz capsule with the expedition

173
00:10:00,670 --> 00:09:56,850
one crew to the International Space

174
00:10:03,199 --> 00:10:00,680
Station we are on a true spaceship now

175
00:10:06,949 --> 00:10:03,209
making her way above or any earthly

176
00:10:10,340 --> 00:10:06,959
boundary spaceflight is one of the areas

177
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:10,350
where we face risk on a daily basis and

178
00:10:15,619 --> 00:10:13,050
in the process of doing this we develop

179
00:10:18,470 --> 00:10:15,629
the new technologies new techniques the

180
00:10:21,530 --> 00:10:18,480
new inventions we make discovery liftoff

181
00:10:24,350 --> 00:10:21,540
of the Delta rocket with opportunity a

182
00:10:26,420 --> 00:10:24,360
chance to explore and unlock the secrets

183
00:10:28,249 --> 00:10:26,430
of our neighboring planet when we look

184
00:10:30,350 --> 00:10:28,259
at other worlds and we look through the

185
00:10:32,239 --> 00:10:30,360
eyes of a robot at a frozen desert we

186
00:10:36,069 --> 00:10:32,249
appreciate our own world so much more

187
00:10:41,210 --> 00:10:39,350
when you arrived on the International

188
00:10:43,699 --> 00:10:41,220
Space Station there's a little bit of a

189
00:10:46,220 --> 00:10:43,709
shock fat room it was like wow we're

190
00:10:48,829 --> 00:10:46,230
really here man this is gonna be a long

191
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:48,839
visit we are overcoming these cultural

192
00:10:53,509 --> 00:10:50,490
obstacles and bringing these people

193
00:10:55,699 --> 00:10:53,519
together with this common goal I think

194
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:55,709
is one of the most significant aspects

195
00:11:01,639 --> 00:10:58,050
of the International Space Station I

196
00:11:05,119 --> 00:11:01,649
believe that human beings should expand

197
00:11:09,379 --> 00:11:05,129
into space by doing that we can learn

198
00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:09,389
about ourselves and make the society and

199
00:11:15,949 --> 00:11:11,910
the world to better you will give NASA

200
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:15,959
new focus envision for future

201
00:11:22,819 --> 00:11:19,050
exploration to gain a new foothold on

202
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:22,829
the moon and prepare for new journeys to

203
00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:25,829
the worlds beyond our own I'd like to

204
00:11:30,470 --> 00:11:27,809
see the mission to Mars they

205
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:30,480
accomplished something I did some work

206
00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:32,370
on and making the proposed that we made

207
00:11:37,579 --> 00:11:34,649
I think there's a consensus that going

208
00:11:39,739 --> 00:11:37,589
to Mars is it worthy objective and I'd

209
00:11:42,259 --> 00:11:39,749
like to see that accomplished perhaps at

210
00:11:44,299 --> 00:11:42,269
one time in the distant past the at

211
00:11:45,799 --> 00:11:44,309
least some basic life-forms existed on

212
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:45,809
Mars and perhaps could again in the

213
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:47,970
future these things mean a lot to me I

214
00:11:50,989 --> 00:11:49,410
think space is important and I think

215
00:11:53,210 --> 00:11:50,999
America should continue to be in the

216
00:11:56,329 --> 00:11:53,220
forefront of space exploration we as a

217
00:11:58,939 --> 00:11:56,339
civilization must explore that's who we

218
00:12:01,220 --> 00:11:58,949
are intrinsically a to the human race is

219
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:01,230
we're explorers no matter where you go

220
00:12:05,850 --> 00:12:02,290
in the world

221
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:05,860
old people know what the letters in a sa

222
00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:09,370
stand for they say NASA and they say it

223
00:12:14,730 --> 00:12:12,160
with recognition that you know itself

224
00:12:16,590 --> 00:12:14,740
tells you that NASA stands for something

225
00:12:19,470 --> 00:12:16,600
in the world not just in America but

226
00:12:20,999 --> 00:12:19,480
across the world this 50th anniversary

227
00:12:23,579 --> 00:12:21,009
is the time to look back on an

228
00:12:25,050 --> 00:12:23,589
astounding record of achievement as

229
00:12:27,449 --> 00:12:25,060
submissions have expanding our

230
00:12:31,319 --> 00:12:27,459
understanding of the universe our solar

231
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:31,329
system indeed our own planet in ways we

232
00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:35,410
couldn't even imagine in 1958 but more

233
00:12:39,990 --> 00:12:37,300
importantly this is a time to look

234
00:12:42,749 --> 00:12:40,000
forward every question we have answered

235
00:12:46,050 --> 00:12:42,759
begs a new question every mystery

236
00:12:49,439 --> 00:12:46,060
explained reveals another as human

237
00:12:53,670 --> 00:12:49,449
beings we must explore we must learn we

238
00:12:55,829 --> 00:12:53,680
must ask why and how today as nasa moves

239
00:12:57,590 --> 00:12:55,839
forward with new missions the goal

240
00:13:00,960 --> 00:12:57,600
remains the same as it was a

241
00:13:03,660 --> 00:13:00,970
half-century ago to pioneer the frontier
