1
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:23,990
atlantis was the fourth space shuttle

2
00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:25,910
this view from atop the vehicle assembly

3
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:27,840
building

4
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:40,470
where there will be a signing ceremony

5
00:00:56,480 --> 00:03:16,470
you need

6
00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:19,910
we see atlantis making its way up

7
00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:21,599
this procession will

8
00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:23,440
lead shuttle atlantis

9
00:03:28,149 --> 00:03:25,599
across state road 405 to the viewing

10
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:51,270
where atlantis will stop

11
00:03:51,280 --> 00:04:04,550
so

12
00:05:30,550 --> 00:04:06,630
the color guard is being followed by the

13
00:05:30,560 --> 00:06:03,430
so

14
00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:06,550
i don't preside over an agency that's in

15
00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:08,319
the history business that's not what

16
00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:09,759
nasa does we're not a history

17
00:06:12,390 --> 00:06:10,960
organization

18
00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:12,400
we're in the business of creating the

19
00:06:14,950 --> 00:06:13,360
future

20
00:06:16,469 --> 00:06:14,960
and we're in the business of taking

21
00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:16,479
science fiction and turning it into

22
00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:18,639
science fact and i think most of you

23
00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:21,120
here realize that that's what we do

24
00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:22,720
we take things that people say are

25
00:06:33,909 --> 00:06:30,710
this magnificent ship behind me

26
00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:33,919
is tangible representation of of a great

27
00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:36,160
nation our hopes and dreams

28
00:06:39,830 --> 00:06:38,160
we couldn't be where we are poised for

29
00:06:41,909 --> 00:06:39,840
tomorrow's progress

30
00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:41,919
without the space shuttle

31
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:43,199
and they're more exciting things

32
00:06:47,430 --> 00:06:45,600
happening right now here at ksc as well

33
00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:47,440
as around the agency

34
00:06:50,230 --> 00:06:49,120
a little over a year after the shuttle

35
00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:50,240
retired

36
00:06:54,230 --> 00:06:52,720
just this week we completed the first

37
00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:54,240
commercial resupply mission to the

38
00:06:57,909 --> 00:06:56,000
international space station

39
00:06:59,110 --> 00:06:57,919
little company called spacex launched

40
00:07:01,510 --> 00:06:59,120
dragon

41
00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:01,520
from right over there at cape canaveral

42
00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:03,520
it's the first of many such launches and

43
00:07:07,990 --> 00:07:05,840
we're well on track to once again launch

44
00:07:12,629 --> 00:07:08,000
american astronauts from u.s soil in the

45
00:07:17,830 --> 00:07:15,029
i want to thank all the crews

46

60
00:07:53,830 --> 00:07:51,680
in space

61
00:07:56,230 --> 00:07:53,840
it's not the end it's not the end for

62
00:07:58,950 --> 00:07:56,240

preparing for commercial operations to

64
00:08:04,629 --> 00:08:02,160
low earth orbit for exploration once

65
00:08:06,869 --> 00:08:04,639
again beyond our home planet continuing

66
00:08:09,909 --> 00:08:06,879
to meet nasa's science missions with our

67
00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:09,919
expandable rockets to get our science

68
00:08:20,869 --> 00:08:18,629
