1
00:00:07,190 --> 00:00:05,590
good morning

2
00:00:08,950 --> 00:00:07,200
welcome to johnson space center my name

3
00:00:10,870 --> 00:00:08,960
is mark guyer i'm the nasa program

4
00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:10,880
manager for orion uh thank you for

5
00:00:14,950 --> 00:00:12,960
coming today it's a great day

6
00:00:17,269 --> 00:00:14,960
here in houston

7
00:00:19,349 --> 00:00:17,279
you know when i was a kid uh along with

8
00:00:20,950 --> 00:00:19,359
thousands of other kids i watched men

9
00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:20,960
walk on the moon and

10
00:00:24,630 --> 00:00:22,560
those flights and all the flights before

11
00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:24,640
really motivated me to be a student to

12
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:26,320
work hard on math and science what we're

13
00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:28,800
going to talk about today i think is

14
00:00:32,709 --> 00:00:30,480
doing even more than that actually

15
00:00:34,389 --> 00:00:32,719
bringing these uh questions and

16
00:00:36,470 --> 00:00:34,399
excitement into the classroom directly

17
00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:36,480
so it's a great example i think what

18
00:00:39,670 --> 00:00:37,920
nasa is trying to do

19
00:00:42,790 --> 00:00:39,680
and bringing these exciting things into

20
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:42,800
the students classrooms

21
00:00:46,069 --> 00:00:44,320
as i said i'm the manager of the orion

22
00:00:49,510 --> 00:00:46,079
program behind me is a mock-up of the

23
00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:49,520
orion we use this mock-up to test human

24
00:00:53,029 --> 00:00:51,360
factors like can the crew reach things

25
00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:53,039
can they get into their suits an

26
00:00:56,549 --> 00:00:54,800
emergency can we get to the stowe the

27
00:00:57,910 --> 00:00:56,559
equipment we need it's very important

28
00:00:59,110 --> 00:00:57,920
work we do right here at the johnson

29
00:01:01,990 --> 00:00:59,120
space center

30
00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:02,000
putting together the flight test article

31
00:01:06,550 --> 00:01:04,159
that we're going to fly in space

32
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:06,560
uh in 18 short months

33
00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:08,560
we'll be taking that article 3000 miles

34
00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:11,439
into space entering about 80 percent of

35
00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:13,840
the lunar entry velocity and also going

36
00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:15,520
through the van allen belts and it'll

37
00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:17,920
experience some pretty high radiation

38
00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:18,720
um

39
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:20,640
right now the heat shield structure is

40
00:01:24,550 --> 00:01:22,640
being sent to boston and we'll actually

41
00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:24,560
put the ablative material on that'll

42
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:26,560
actually allow us to survive that entry

43
00:01:30,149 --> 00:01:28,159
and then it'll go to the cape

44
00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:30,159
all our computers and

45
00:01:33,749 --> 00:01:32,240
communication system and power systems

46
00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:33,759
are being tested in denver with the

47
00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:35,360
flight software

48
00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:37,040
so there's a whole bunch going on to

49
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:40,240
make this flight test happen

50
00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:41,520
as i mentioned

51
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:43,119
orion is going to see high radiation

52
00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:44,640
during its flight it's one of the things

53
00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:46,000
this radiation is one of the things that

54
00:01:49,910 --> 00:01:48,240
we have to understand and manage better

55
00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:49,920
as we send people into deep space and to

56
00:01:53,429 --> 00:01:52,240
mars and so that's why this experiment

57
00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:53,439
that we're going to talk about is so

58
00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:55,200
important

59
00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:57,920
we have a very august group today

60
00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:59,280
that you're going to meet

61
00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:00,719
and going to speak to you today i think

62
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:02,479
it gives really a sense for how

63
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:03,759
important

64
00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:06,240
education is to nasa and to lockheed and

65
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:08,239
to the rest of the nation so i have the

66
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:10,319
honor now to introduce charlie bolden

67
00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:20,630
mark thanks very much it's good for me

68
00:02:25,910 --> 00:02:24,239
to be back back actually back home

69
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:25,920
it's always good to come to jsc i want

70
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:27,680
to welcome everybody who's here at the

71
00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:29,200
johnson space center

72
00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:31,200
um i think everybody knows for more than

73
00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:33,840
50 years now jesse has played a vital

74
00:02:38,150 --> 00:02:36,080
role in america's human space flight

75
00:02:39,190 --> 00:02:38,160
program both our storied home of mission

76
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:39,200
control

77
00:02:43,110 --> 00:02:40,800
and the place where every astronaut

78
00:02:45,509 --> 00:02:43,120
trains uh to earn their wings in fact we

79
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:45,519
were back in the green room and we

80
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:47,200
interrupted a little training going a

81
00:02:52,309 --> 00:02:49,120
little fire training going on for one of

82
00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:52,319
the future space station astronauts

83
00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:55,440
uh if not all of us most of us remember

84
00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:57,280
those immortal words associated with the

85
00:03:01,830 --> 00:03:00,720
1970 apollo 13 mission houston we have a

86
00:03:03,509 --> 00:03:01,840
problem

87
00:03:05,589 --> 00:03:03,519
today we're here to announce an effort

88
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:05,599
in partnership with lockheed martin and

89
00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:08,000
the and the young people of america

90
00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:09,840
that will allow us

91
00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:12,720
to take about a year from now to

92
00:03:18,309 --> 00:03:16,319
proclaim houston we have a solution

93
00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:18,319
in a moment you'll hear details of the

94
00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:20,879
nasa lockheed martin exploration design

95
00:03:25,670 --> 00:03:23,440
challenge that will play a vital role in

96
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:25,680
the launch of orion america's next

97
00:03:30,309 --> 00:03:28,400
generation spacecraft set for its maiden

98
00:03:32,229 --> 00:03:30,319
voyage next year

99
00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:32,239
i want to take a few moments to talk a

100
00:03:35,509 --> 00:03:34,000
little bit about the genesis and purpose

101
00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:35,519
of orion

102
00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:38,000
three years ago my boss president obama

103
00:03:42,630 --> 00:03:39,840
set a goal of sending humans farther

104
00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:42,640
into space than we've ever been

105
00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:46,080
to an asteroid in 2025 and to mars in

106
00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:47,920
the 2030s and i'm looking at all the

107
00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:50,159
students out here okay think about it

108
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:53,120
2030s that's you that's not me

109
00:03:56,789 --> 00:03:55,200
so that's what the president's told us

110
00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:56,799
he wants us to do and we're trying to

111
00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:58,560
get there but we've got some problems

112
00:04:02,710 --> 00:04:00,720
that mark already alluded to

113
00:04:04,309 --> 00:04:02,720
after prolonged deliberations congress

114
00:04:05,589 --> 00:04:04,319
and the president agreed that the best

115
00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:05,599
way to do that

116
00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:07,680
was for nasa to turn over the delivery

117
00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:09,680
of cargo and crew to the international

118
00:04:14,149 --> 00:04:12,080
space station and other low earth orbit

119
00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:14,159
destinations to private companies so

120
00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:16,400
that we could concentrate on building

121
00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:18,239
america's next generation space

122
00:04:22,870 --> 00:04:21,040
exploration system the orion spacecraft

123
00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:22,880
the model of which is behind me and the

124
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:24,560
space launch system

125
00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:26,479
by investing in american companies and

126
00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:28,960
american ingenuity we're spurring free

127
00:04:33,590 --> 00:04:31,440
market competition to give taxpayers

128
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:33,600
more bang for the buck while enabling

129
00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:36,479
nasa to do what we do best reach deeper

130
00:04:40,550 --> 00:04:38,400
into our solar system

131
00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:40,560
we're always we're also ending the

132
00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:42,800
outsourcing of american space jobs and

133
00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:44,880
bringing them right back here to houston

134
00:04:48,629 --> 00:04:47,360
and other states and cities all across

135
00:04:50,629 --> 00:04:48,639
this country

136
00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:50,639
this strategy is producing tangible

137
00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:53,600
results on march 1st spacex launched the

138
00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,560
second of 12 scheduled cargo missions to

139
00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:58,800
the us to the iss

140
00:05:03,749 --> 00:05:00,960
the company's dragon capsule executed a

141
00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:03,759
successful birthing to the iss two days

142
00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:05,520
later in health and has now delivered

143
00:05:10,870 --> 00:05:08,000
twelve hundred pounds of supplies

144
00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:10,880
fresh foods and science experiments

145
00:05:14,550 --> 00:05:12,880
as the only vehicle capable of returning

146
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:14,560
large amounts of cargo and experiments

147
00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:15,759
back to earth

148
00:05:19,749 --> 00:05:17,520
dragon will be fully loaded when it

149
00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:19,759
splashes down in the pacific off the

150
00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:22,560
california coast on march 25th

151
00:05:27,670 --> 00:05:25,120
this capability is key to enabling nasa

152
00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:27,680
to attain our goal of sending humans to

153
00:05:33,510 --> 00:05:31,360
an asteroid and ultimately to mars

154
00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:33,520
these ambitious missions will depend on

155
00:05:38,710 --> 00:05:35,440
engagement from every sector of our

156
00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:38,720
society from scientists and astronauts

157
00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:41,440
at our nasa centers to our corporate

158
00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:43,840
partners like lockheed martin

159
00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:46,720
and america's k-12 students

160
00:05:52,629 --> 00:05:48,880
when orion takes its first flight in

161
00:05:55,670 --> 00:05:52,639
2014 that's next year okay this is 2013

162
00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:55,680
2014 next year it will travel farther

163
00:06:00,230 --> 00:05:58,319
into space than any spacecraft developed

164
00:06:02,070 --> 00:06:00,240
for human space flight has flown in the

165
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:02,080
40 years since our astronauts returned

166
00:06:06,070 --> 00:06:03,440
from the moon

167
00:06:07,590 --> 00:06:06,080
this will require new technologies

168
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:07,600
including new ways to keep our

169
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:09,680
astronauts safe from deep space

170
00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:11,840
radiation

171
00:06:16,469 --> 00:06:14,160
that is the purpose of this challenge

172
00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:16,479
and we're excited that american students

173
00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:19,280
will be helping us to solve that problem

174
00:06:23,350 --> 00:06:21,520
this project also supports nasa's

175
00:06:26,309 --> 00:06:23,360
commitment to inspiring more young

176
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:26,319
people to study and pursue careers in

177
00:06:31,749 --> 00:06:28,560
science technology engineering and

178
00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:31,759
mathematics the stem disciplines

179
00:06:36,390 --> 00:06:34,400
as you all know stem educated workers

180
00:06:38,469 --> 00:06:36,400
are the key to america's technological

181
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:38,479
leadership and economic growth in the

182
00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:40,240
21st century

183
00:06:44,710 --> 00:06:42,560
nasa and the entire aerospace industry

184
00:06:47,189 --> 00:06:44,720
in particular will need a steady

185
00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:47,199
pipeline of scientists engineers and

186
00:06:53,110 --> 00:06:50,400
technicians so we can continue to push

187
00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:53,120
the boundaries of exploration and do our

188
00:06:57,990 --> 00:06:55,520
part to reinvigorate america's

189

the orion exploration design challenge

192
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:03,599
will give more young people a chance to

193
00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:05,520
develop those skills

our students

223
00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:16,720
we at lockheed martin are grateful for

224
00:08:21,990 --> 00:08:19,280
the opportunity to once again support

225
00:08:23,990 --> 00:08:22,000
science technology engineering and math

226
00:08:26,629 --> 00:08:24,000
education

227
00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:26,639
space exploration has inspired

228
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:28,639
and fascinated young people for

229
00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:30,160
generations

230
00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:32,560
and the exploration design challenge is

231
00:08:38,230 --> 00:08:35,839
a unique way to capture and engage the

232
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:38,240
imaginations of tomorrow's engineers and

233
00:08:42,469 --> 00:08:40,000
scientists

234
00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:42,479
innovation is the engine of american

235
00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:43,839
progress

236
00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:46,640
and stem education is the fuel that

237
00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:49,279
fires that engine

238
00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:51,680
yet we're facing a real challenge

239
00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:53,519
as a generation of scientists and

240
00:08:57,430 --> 00:08:55,360
engineers retire

241
00:08:59,590 --> 00:08:57,440
we aren't seeing enough young people

242
00:09:00,949 --> 00:08:59,600
stepping into these important technology

243
00:09:02,070 --> 00:09:00,959
careers

244
00:09:05,350 --> 00:09:02,080
we need

245
00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:05,360
bright creative leaders for these feats

246
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:07,760
fields and we need them to ensure that

247
00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:10,800
the innovation engine continues to drive

248
00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:12,720
our country's leadership

249
00:09:19,190 --> 00:09:17,200
national security and economic strength

250
00:09:21,990 --> 00:09:19,200
at lockheed martin we embrace the

251
00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:22,000
responsibility to champion and support

252
00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:24,080
stem education

253
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:26,080
and that's why we're so proud to partner

254
00:09:31,350 --> 00:09:28,640
with educators government agencies like

255
00:09:33,910 --> 00:09:31,360
nasa and our communities on stem

256
00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:33,920
initiatives that engage and inspire

257
00:09:38,310 --> 00:09:36,000
students

258
00:09:40,070 --> 00:09:38,320
many of our corporations sixty thousand

259
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:40,080
engineers scientists and i t

260
00:09:45,990 --> 00:09:42,800
professionals support stem education

261
00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:46,000
through school outreach volunteerism and

262
00:09:50,310 --> 00:09:48,000
charitable giving

263
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:50,320
our volunteers work side by side in the

264
00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:52,720
classroom the students and teachers

265
00:09:57,990 --> 00:09:56,000
mentoring and coaching students

266
00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:58,000
through our work we know

267
00:10:02,550 --> 00:10:00,000
that what gets students excited about

268
00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:02,560
careers in technology is the chance to

269
00:10:07,670 --> 00:10:05,200
make a difference to achieve things no

270
00:10:09,269 --> 00:10:07,680
one else has ever achieved and to make a

271
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:09,279
difference that is meaningful and

272
00:10:12,790 --> 00:10:10,720
lasting

273
00:10:15,190 --> 00:10:12,800
and frankly it's the same thing that

274
00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:15,200
motivates and inspires all of us in our

275
00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:16,800
jobs

276
00:10:22,470 --> 00:10:19,040
this exploration design challenge

277
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:22,480
captures the opportunity perfectly

278
00:10:27,590 --> 00:10:24,800
for the students here with us today

279
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:27,600
and those who are on nasa tv watching

280
00:10:33,430 --> 00:10:31,600
you're about to embark on an amazing

281
00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:33,440
the skills you'll learn from this

282
00:10:38,949 --> 00:10:36,000
challenge problem solving

283
00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:38,959
critical thinking systems engineering

284
00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:41,040
are the very same skills that our

285
00:10:46,949 --> 00:10:43,600
engineers apply to our most challenging

286
00:10:50,069 --> 00:10:46,959
problems every day you're taking on a

287
00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:50,079
mission that is hugely important keeping

288
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:52,000
our astronauts safe

289
00:10:56,630 --> 00:10:54,720
during a journey through deep space

290
00:10:58,630 --> 00:10:56,640
and all of you who participate will be

291
00:11:03,509 --> 00:10:58,640
part of something that's never been done

292
00:11:05,350 --> 00:11:03,519
before the first test flight of orion

293
00:11:07,110 --> 00:11:05,360
nasa's vision and leadership are the

294
00:11:09,509 --> 00:11:07,120
driving force behind both this

295
00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:09,519
opportunity and the missions and

296
00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:13,120
memories that have inspired generations

297
00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:15,200
for more than five decades the men and

298
00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:17,440
women of lockheed martin have proudly

299
00:11:22,230 --> 00:11:20,079
worked side by side with nasa and many

300
00:11:23,910 --> 00:11:22,240
of the on many of those missions

301
00:11:25,750 --> 00:11:23,920
landing on the moon

302
00:11:28,949 --> 00:11:25,760
exploring mars

303
00:11:30,870 --> 00:11:28,959
capturing pieces of comets and our sun

304
00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:30,880
and traveling to outer reaches of the

305
00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:32,560
universe

306
00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:34,160
it's fitting that we're here today in

307
00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:37,279
front of orion which will take humankind

308
00:11:43,750 --> 00:11:41,279
on its next great journey

309
00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:43,760
our moon is one thousand times more

310
00:11:47,269 --> 00:11:45,279
distant from earth than the

311
00:11:50,470 --> 00:11:47,279
international space station

312
00:11:54,230 --> 00:11:50,480
and through orion our goal is to explore

313
00:11:57,110 --> 00:11:54,240
millions of miles beyond

314
00:11:59,430 --> 00:11:57,120
every journey starts with a single step

315
00:12:02,310 --> 00:11:59,440
and the orion's exploration flight test

316
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:02,320
1 is a significant first step toward

317
00:12:07,829 --> 00:12:05,360
deep space human exploration

318
00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:07,839
this mission will lay the foundation for

319
00:12:13,110 --> 00:12:10,240
future orion flights and will take

320
00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:13,120
astronauts past the moon and onto

321
00:12:18,150 --> 00:12:15,600
asteroids and mars

322
00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:18,160
and those future missions will be led by

323
00:12:23,190 --> 00:12:20,880
a whole new generation of scientists

324
00:12:25,509 --> 00:12:23,200
engineers and explorers

325
00:12:29,670 --> 00:12:25,519
students like the bright innovative

326
00:12:34,629 --> 00:12:31,829
we know nothing teaches

327
00:12:36,710 --> 00:12:34,639
like real hands-on experience and that's

328
00:12:38,949 --> 00:12:36,720
what draws lockheed martin to support

329
00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:38,959
programs like the exploration design

330
00:12:42,629 --> 00:12:40,160
challenge

331
00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:42,639
we recognize the amazing increase in

332
00:12:47,829 --> 00:12:44,720
learning that comes with critical

333
00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:47,839
thinking and real world problem solving

334
00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:50,880
and in this case real out of this world

335
00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:53,040
problem solving

336
00:12:56,790 --> 00:12:54,800

details of the exploration design

360
00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:53,590
thank you marilyn and i hate when

361
00:13:59,430 --> 00:13:56,320
charlie does that

362
00:14:01,430 --> 00:13:59,440
i'm very excited to be here and i i just

363
00:14:03,030 --> 00:14:01,440
want to say there's a there's a african

364
00:14:05,030 --> 00:14:03,040
proverb that says it takes a village to

365
00:14:07,030 --> 00:14:05,040
raise a child and when i think about

366
00:14:08,629 --> 00:14:07,040
this relationship with nasa and lockheed

367
00:14:09,990 --> 00:14:08,639
martin and how we're coming together to

368
00:14:11,910 --> 00:14:10,000
help inspire

369
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:11,920
that next generation of explorer i think

370
00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:14,240
about my roots growing up in a small

371
00:14:18,069 --> 00:14:16,160
town in lynchburg virginia with

372
00:14:18,870 --> 00:14:18,079
educators as parents

373
00:14:20,069 --> 00:14:18,880
and

374
00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:20,079
for the students out here in the

375
00:14:23,350 --> 00:14:22,000
audience hands-on experiential

376
00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:23,360
activities that maryland just talked

377
00:14:28,629 --> 00:14:25,920
about are what fuel your curiosity now

378
00:14:30,790 --> 00:14:28,639
when i was a kid my mother gave me an

379
00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:30,800
age inappropriate chemistry set that was

380
00:14:35,030 --> 00:14:32,720
not vetted by osha

381
00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:35,040
i created the most incredible explosion

382
00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:37,120
in my mother's living room

383
00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:38,800
and that fueled my curiosity become a

384
00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:40,320
chemistry major

385
00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:42,160
so the things that we're trying to do

386
00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:44,320
with orion and the exploration design

387
00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:46,720
challenge will help you find that

388
00:14:51,430 --> 00:14:49,440
curiosity will help you solve problems

389
00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:51,440
to help our astronauts and maybe even

390
00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:54,720
you one day flying orion to mars

391
00:15:00,470 --> 00:14:57,440
so the work that you're doing today

392
00:15:03,590 --> 00:15:00,480
in developing creating radiation shields

393
00:15:05,189 --> 00:15:03,600
to help save us keep us going to mars

394
00:15:07,269 --> 00:15:05,199
may be the radiation shield that saves

395
00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:07,279
your life one day so a little bit more

396
00:15:13,829 --> 00:15:09,440
about the details of the challenge you

397
00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:13,839
can actually go to nasa.gov education

398
00:15:17,670 --> 00:15:15,120
edc

399
00:15:19,829 --> 00:15:17,680
and students from k-12 can actually

400
00:15:22,230 --> 00:15:19,839
register to be part of this so students

401
00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:22,240
and parents students and teachers we

402
00:15:26,550 --> 00:15:23,920
want to have teams of students clustered

403
00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:26,560
together to work as a team just like we

404
00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:29,199
do in this building nine building these

405
00:15:32,470 --> 00:15:31,120
models build these mock-ups building so

406
00:15:35,509 --> 00:15:32,480
forth and so on

407
00:15:36,790 --> 00:15:35,519
so if you're a k-4 student our youngest

408
00:15:39,110 --> 00:15:36,800
explorers

409
00:15:40,870 --> 00:15:39,120
you'll compete with nasa education

410
00:15:42,949 --> 00:15:40,880
activities related to radiation so you

411
00:15:44,949 --> 00:15:42,959
learn more about what the basics of

412
00:15:47,670 --> 00:15:44,959
radiation are when you take an x-ray

413
00:15:50,310 --> 00:15:47,680
when you do things when you walk outside

414
00:15:52,310 --> 00:15:50,320
for 365 days on the planet

415
00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:52,320
you get about the dosage of about four

416
00:15:56,949 --> 00:15:54,720
to five chest x-rays so learning about

417
00:15:58,949 --> 00:15:56,959
what it means to get radiation in your

418
00:16:00,629 --> 00:15:58,959
body and how that affects your body

419
00:16:03,189 --> 00:16:00,639
and so those students will actually be

420
00:16:05,110 --> 00:16:03,199
able to do activities and then their

421
00:16:06,790 --> 00:16:05,120
names will be submitted to actually fly

422
00:16:08,230 --> 00:16:06,800
on eft one

423
00:16:09,990 --> 00:16:08,240
our fifth through eighth grade middle

424
00:16:11,030 --> 00:16:10,000
schoolers we've added a little more of a

425
00:16:12,949 --> 00:16:11,040
challenge

426
00:16:14,629 --> 00:16:12,959
so they'll also complete education

427
00:16:16,710 --> 00:16:14,639
activities they'll have a chance to

428
00:16:17,749 --> 00:16:16,720
become honorary crew members but in

429
00:16:20,470 --> 00:16:17,759
addition

430
00:16:22,389 --> 00:16:20,480
yields that devon design and develop a

431
00:16:24,870 --> 00:16:22,399
radiation shield prototype

432
00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:24,880
so that's for the middle schoolers

433
00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:26,880
the high school is here you guys are all

434
00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:28,959
high schoolers right okay

435
00:16:32,230 --> 00:16:30,399
you guys look really wonderful out there

436
00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:32,240
by the way

437
00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:33,680
you guys are going to be our engineers

438
00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:35,680
in the making and you'll have a chance

439
00:16:40,870 --> 00:16:37,920
to get even more involved

440
00:16:43,430 --> 00:16:40,880
you'll be forming a team so mentors

441
00:16:45,829 --> 00:16:43,440
maybe from lockheed from nasa maybe your

442
00:16:46,870 --> 00:16:45,839
parents we working together to form a

443
00:16:51,670 --> 00:16:46,880
team

444
00:16:54,150 --> 00:16:51,680
to test their designs in a virtual

445
00:16:56,949 --> 00:16:54,160
radiation simulator

446
00:16:59,269 --> 00:16:56,959
all five teams that are chosen will go

447
00:17:01,110 --> 00:16:59,279
down to to kennedy space center for the

448
00:17:03,509 --> 00:17:01,120
launch of the ft-1

449
00:17:05,029 --> 00:17:03,519
and there will be a final down select of

450
00:17:08,549 --> 00:17:05,039
the winning design

451
00:17:11,829 --> 00:17:08,559
that will possibly be flown on the ft-1

452
00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:11,839
now we're banking on this design because

453
00:17:15,110 --> 00:17:13,520
one of you or one of our astronauts will

454
00:17:16,150 --> 00:17:15,120
be flying to mars we'll be actually

455
00:17:18,949 --> 00:17:16,160
using

456
00:17:20,949 --> 00:17:18,959
space certified radiation sensors

457
00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:20,959
sitting behind your radiation shield to

458
00:17:23,909 --> 00:17:22,319
see how effective it's working and

459
00:17:25,669 --> 00:17:23,919
blocking radiation

460
00:17:26,549 --> 00:17:25,679
so that's kind of the big picture of the

461
00:17:28,789 --> 00:17:26,559
test

462
00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:28,799
i think about partnerships i think about

463
00:17:32,950 --> 00:17:31,120
community all the federal agencies are

464
00:17:36,470 --> 00:17:32,960
working to ensure that we leverage our

465
00:17:39,190 --> 00:17:36,480
unique assets orion is a fantastic

466
00:17:40,789 --> 00:17:39,200
unique asset that both nasa and lockheed

467
00:17:42,470 --> 00:17:40,799
martin are working together to help

468
00:17:45,029 --> 00:17:42,480
change the world through this community

469
00:17:46,390 --> 00:17:45,039
of learning thank you very much and next

470
00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:46,400
i'm going to invite up

471
00:17:50,950 --> 00:17:47,440
amber

472
00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:50,960
pinchback she's an hisd principal

473
00:18:01,590 --> 00:17:53,200
educator and an award-winning educator

474
00:18:05,430 --> 00:18:03,590
good morning

475
00:18:07,350 --> 00:18:05,440
to reach for new heights and reveal the

476
00:18:09,590 --> 00:18:07,360
unknown so that what we do and learn

477
00:18:10,470 --> 00:18:09,600
will benefit all humankind is nasa's

478
00:18:13,190 --> 00:18:10,480
mission

479
00:18:15,110 --> 00:18:13,200
educators

480
00:18:17,110 --> 00:18:15,120
for if we do not motivate our students

481
00:18:19,110 --> 00:18:17,120
to reach for new heights and reveal

482
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:19,120
something new within themselves how will

483
00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:22,160
we benefit all humankind

484
00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:23,919
as a young girl my fifth grade math and

485
00:18:27,110 --> 00:18:25,840
science teachers miss miller and miss

486
00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:27,120
richardson

487
00:18:30,390 --> 00:18:28,720
were able to motivate and challenge me

488
00:18:31,830 --> 00:18:30,400
to discover my capabilities in these

489
00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:31,840
subjects

490
00:18:35,590 --> 00:18:33,280
they even convinced me to be on the

491
00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:35,600
school's math and science team

492
00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:37,120
where i was taught how to improve and

493
00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:39,200
sharpen my skills and my confidence

494
00:18:43,110 --> 00:18:41,440
soared because of them

495
00:18:45,029 --> 00:18:43,120
and as my interest in math and science

496
00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:45,039
grew i happened upon a movie titled

497
00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:47,760
space camp and i knew i had to go

498
00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:49,520
i just didn't know the opportunity would

499
00:18:53,110 --> 00:18:51,760
present itself to me as an adult while

500
00:18:54,549 --> 00:18:53,120
teaching 8th grade science here in

501
00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:54,559
houston isd

502
00:18:59,669 --> 00:18:57,120
this is where my connection to nasa and

503
00:19:01,270 --> 00:18:59,679
education begins

504
00:19:03,430 --> 00:19:01,280
i traveled with a group of educators

505
00:19:05,830 --> 00:19:03,440
from a variety of houston schools to

506
00:19:08,950 --> 00:19:05,840
huntsville alabama and we embarked on

507
00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:08,960
our space camp adventure

508
00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:10,960
and boy was i glad i experienced space

509
00:19:15,669 --> 00:19:13,840
camp as an adult and not as a child

510
00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:15,679
not only was it exhilarating to create

511
00:19:18,870 --> 00:19:17,760
and shoot rockets simulate walking on

512
00:19:20,549 --> 00:19:18,880
the moon

513
00:19:22,549 --> 00:19:20,559
and take on the role of capcom during

514
00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:22,559
our simulated missions but i also

515
00:19:26,789 --> 00:19:24,320
learned how to navigate many of nasa's

516
00:19:28,470 --> 00:19:26,799
resources including the nasa website

517
00:19:31,110 --> 00:19:28,480
where educators like me can find a

518
00:19:32,789 --> 00:19:31,120
plethora of photos videos

519
00:19:34,630 --> 00:19:32,799
games and student-centered

520
00:19:36,710 --> 00:19:34,640
objective-driven lessons for all ages

521
00:19:39,190 --> 00:19:36,720
and constant areas so with my blue

522
00:19:41,190 --> 00:19:39,200
jumpsuit excitement from my experience

523
00:19:42,950 --> 00:19:41,200
and the knowledge to navigate resources

524
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:42,960
i headed home to houston to share what i

525
00:19:47,830 --> 00:19:46,320
learned with my students and colleagues

526
00:19:49,909 --> 00:19:47,840
a couple of years later i became an

527
00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:49,919
administrator at the same school and a

528
00:19:54,150 --> 00:19:52,000
teacher approached me to apply for an

529
00:19:56,310 --> 00:19:54,160
in-flight downlink with astronauts

530
00:19:57,909 --> 00:19:56,320
aboard the iss

531
00:20:00,230 --> 00:19:57,919
with the help of nasa's teaching from

532
00:20:01,909 --> 00:20:00,240
space department we were able to host a

533
00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:01,919
successful in-flight downlink in our

534
00:20:06,470 --> 00:20:04,480
school auditorium

535
00:20:08,630 --> 00:20:06,480
where approximately 20 students had the

536
00:20:10,390 --> 00:20:08,640
opportunity to ask questions to

537
00:20:13,029 --> 00:20:10,400
astronaut shannon walker and doug

538
00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:13,039
wheelock while the remaining 1600 of our

539
00:20:17,909 --> 00:20:14,720
students watched live from the classroom

540
00:20:19,830 --> 00:20:17,919
tvs on nasa tv

541
00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:19,840
our downlink was the first step our

542
00:20:24,630 --> 00:20:21,840
school took towards implementing stem

543
00:20:26,870 --> 00:20:24,640
objectives science technology

544
00:20:28,630 --> 00:20:26,880
engineering and math

545
00:20:30,149 --> 00:20:28,640
see my school johnston middle school is

546
00:20:32,070 --> 00:20:30,159
the performing and visual arts middle

547
00:20:33,669 --> 00:20:32,080
school of houston isd

548
00:20:35,590 --> 00:20:33,679
and our students are renowned for their

549
00:20:37,750 --> 00:20:35,600
artistic abilities

550
00:20:39,669 --> 00:20:37,760
but our students are more than artists

551
00:20:42,230 --> 00:20:39,679
they are future engineers

552
00:20:43,669 --> 00:20:42,240
doctors and computer scientists and we

553
00:20:45,669 --> 00:20:43,679
want our students to know they can be

554
00:20:47,590 --> 00:20:45,679
both

555
00:20:50,070 --> 00:20:47,600
with an auditorium full of over 800

556
00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:50,080
people you could have heard a pin drop

557
00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:51,360
when our students were sending their

558
00:20:55,350 --> 00:20:53,280
questions to the iss

559
00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:55,360
everyone was on the edge of their seats

560
00:20:59,110 --> 00:20:57,600
waiting to hear the astronauts responses

561
00:21:01,029 --> 00:20:59,120
and watching them

562
00:21:05,190 --> 00:21:01,039
utilize weightlessness as they spin

563
00:21:08,950 --> 00:21:07,430
and the excitement didn't stop there we

564
00:21:10,950 --> 00:21:08,960
worked with the astronauts appearance

565
00:21:13,029 --> 00:21:10,960
office and were able to host dr walker

566
00:21:15,029 --> 00:21:13,039
at our school the days that led up to

567
00:21:17,510 --> 00:21:15,039
her visit were celebrated with space and

568
00:21:20,230 --> 00:21:17,520
stem lessons in every classroom many of

569
00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:20,240
them retrieved from the nasa website

570
00:21:26,149 --> 00:21:21,760
the building principal even began

571
00:21:27,750 --> 00:21:26,159
calling our campus johnston space center

572
00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:27,760
through nasa explorer schools and the

573
00:21:31,350 --> 00:21:29,760
digital learning network two colleagues

574
00:21:33,270 --> 00:21:31,360
and i were able to fly aboard nasa's

575
00:21:35,430 --> 00:21:33,280
weightless wonder and conduct science

576
00:21:37,350 --> 00:21:35,440
experiments in micro and hyper gravity

577
00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:37,360
collect data and compare it to the data

578
00:21:41,430 --> 00:21:39,600
our students collected back at school in

579
00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:41,440
1g

580
00:21:44,470 --> 00:21:42,960
we've also had the opportunity to work

581
00:21:46,630 --> 00:21:44,480
with the student space flights

582
00:21:48,310 --> 00:21:46,640
experiments program where students are

583
00:21:51,110 --> 00:21:48,320
challenged to create experiments to be

584
00:21:52,789 --> 00:21:51,120
conducted by astronauts aboard the iss

585
00:21:54,470 --> 00:21:52,799
collect the data and bring it back to

586
00:21:55,909 --> 00:21:54,480
earth for comparison to their 1g

587
00:21:57,510 --> 00:21:55,919
experiments

588
00:21:59,430 --> 00:21:57,520
the impact this project had on our

589
00:22:00,950 --> 00:21:59,440
students was stunning

590
00:22:02,950 --> 00:22:00,960
to offer a middle school student the

591
00:22:05,909 --> 00:22:02,960
chance to create an experiment and have

592
00:22:07,510 --> 00:22:05,919
it fly in space is unbelievable

593
00:22:09,990 --> 00:22:07,520
there are no other middle school science

594
00:22:12,230 --> 00:22:10,000
experiments that compare

595
00:22:14,789 --> 00:22:12,240
this is what makes the orion exploration

596
00:22:16,870 --> 00:22:14,799
design challenge so magnificent

597
00:22:18,230 --> 00:22:16,880
inviting students to assist nasa in

598
00:22:20,230 --> 00:22:18,240
solving the problem of radiation

599
00:22:22,070 --> 00:22:20,240
protection takes learning and applying

600
00:22:23,669 --> 00:22:22,080
science to a new level

601
00:22:25,909 --> 00:22:23,679
it allows students the chance to wrap

602
00:22:28,149 --> 00:22:25,919
their minds around a real problem like a

603
00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:28,159
real scientist and solve

604
00:22:32,149 --> 00:22:30,240
and find real answers

605
00:22:33,830 --> 00:22:32,159
not only is the problem real but it is

606
00:22:35,909 --> 00:22:33,840
also one that will help humans achieve

607
00:22:38,070 --> 00:22:35,919
what we have never before achieved by

608
00:22:40,870 --> 00:22:38,080
taking us beyond low earth orbit and

609
00:22:42,710 --> 00:22:40,880
onto an asteroid or mars

610
00:22:44,630 --> 00:22:42,720
orion is the future of human space

611
00:22:46,470 --> 00:22:44,640
flight and what better way to connect

612
00:22:48,390 --> 00:22:46,480
the country to this spacecraft than by

613
00:22:50,149 --> 00:22:48,400
enticing educators and the next

614
00:22:52,149 --> 00:22:50,159
generation of scientists

615
00:22:53,590 --> 00:22:52,159
to become a part of its progress and

616
00:22:55,190 --> 00:22:53,600
purpose

617
00:22:57,430 --> 00:22:55,200
it is through this partnership that

618
00:23:00,230 --> 00:22:57,440
space exploration will flourish and

619
00:23:02,310 --> 00:23:00,240
continue to reveal the unknown so that

620
00:23:03,909 --> 00:23:02,320
what we do and learn will benefit all

621
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:03,919
humankind

622
00:23:06,549 --> 00:23:04,960
thank you

623
00:23:13,029 --> 00:23:06,559
i will now turn the event back over to

624
00:23:16,230 --> 00:23:14,789
okay so it

625
00:23:17,750 --> 00:23:16,240
at this time we're going to have a

626
00:23:19,430 --> 00:23:17,760
chance to get questions from the

627
00:23:21,270 --> 00:23:19,440
students of this very distinguished

628
00:23:22,789 --> 00:23:21,280
panel here so i would like to bring up

629
00:23:26,470 --> 00:23:22,799
the first student to ask your question

630
00:23:29,669 --> 00:23:28,470
hi my name is kyle what do you feel is

631
00:23:33,750 --> 00:23:29,679
the greatest benefit of human

632
00:23:37,990 --> 00:23:36,710
you want to hit that sir i can try i you

633
00:23:41,029 --> 00:23:38,000
know i think there are a number of

634
00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:41,039
benefits but since you said the greatest

635
00:23:45,990 --> 00:23:43,600
i think it's an aspirational benefit and

636
00:23:48,070 --> 00:23:46,000
that is one that helps people

637
00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:48,080
believe that there is much

638
00:23:53,669 --> 00:23:50,400
higher things to attain than what we

639
00:23:55,430 --> 00:23:53,679
normally see in our lives every day

640
00:23:58,710 --> 00:23:55,440
you know i will be very disa i tell

641
00:24:00,950 --> 00:23:58,720
people i came here in 1980

642
00:24:02,950 --> 00:24:00,960
as a brand new astronaut candidate

643
00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:02,960
and when i came

644
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:04,480
i thought i would fly on the shuttle

645
00:24:07,590 --> 00:24:05,520
once

646
00:24:09,830 --> 00:24:07,600
and and then start training for a

647
00:24:12,630 --> 00:24:09,840
mission back to the moon and then

648
00:24:14,870 --> 00:24:12,640
eventually on to mars and unfortunately

649
00:24:16,870 --> 00:24:14,880
for me and my class we had something

650
00:24:20,149 --> 00:24:16,880
happen in 1986 which was loss of

651
00:24:22,149 --> 00:24:20,159
challenger and uh in the world

652
00:24:24,549 --> 00:24:22,159
all of a sudden turned away from that

653
00:24:26,630 --> 00:24:24,559
kind of experience and it has taken us

654
00:24:28,630 --> 00:24:26,640
quite a while to recover so

655
00:24:30,789 --> 00:24:28,640
i would like to help all of you get that

656
00:24:32,789 --> 00:24:30,799
dream again because i know we can do it

657
00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:32,799
but it's something that the nation has

658
00:24:36,870 --> 00:24:35,360
to really believe in otherwise it won't

659
00:24:38,630 --> 00:24:36,880
happen so

660
00:24:39,590 --> 00:24:38,640
just having people having you able to

661
00:24:41,269 --> 00:24:39,600
talk to an astronaut on the

662
00:24:43,190 --> 00:24:41,279
international space station

663
00:24:45,190 --> 00:24:43,200
to see that people who are just like you

664
00:24:47,110 --> 00:24:45,200
started just like you

665
00:24:48,710 --> 00:24:47,120
have reached that level of of

666
00:24:51,590 --> 00:24:48,720
achievement i think is is really

667
00:24:55,190 --> 00:24:54,070
thank you charlie next question i i

668
00:24:58,149 --> 00:24:55,200
think is the next question is for

669
00:25:02,070 --> 00:24:59,909
want to go ahead and ask you a question

670
00:25:04,070 --> 00:25:02,080
hi my uh my name is robert kennedy my

671
00:25:07,269 --> 00:25:04,080
question is specifically to uh mark

672
00:25:11,029 --> 00:25:09,510
what role specifically has innovation

673
00:25:13,669 --> 00:25:11,039
played in

674
00:25:16,470 --> 00:25:13,679
the developing orion

675
00:25:18,149 --> 00:25:16,480
oh great question yeah so

676
00:25:19,990 --> 00:25:18,159
you know really we have to innovate in

677
00:25:21,909 --> 00:25:20,000
order to make this mission happen uh

678
00:25:24,230 --> 00:25:21,919
some of it looks similar to apollo but

679
00:25:25,909 --> 00:25:24,240
the the guts of orion are really state

680
00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:25,919
of the art so a good example would be

681
00:25:28,630 --> 00:25:26,799
the

682
00:25:30,230 --> 00:25:28,640
network interface time trigger gigabit

683
00:25:32,549 --> 00:25:30,240
ethernet allows us to communicate with

684
00:25:34,230 --> 00:25:32,559
the computers extremely fast but also

685
00:25:35,909 --> 00:25:34,240
very safe and reliable which is very

686
00:25:37,909 --> 00:25:35,919
important when you've got human

687
00:25:39,590 --> 00:25:37,919
uh humans on board

688
00:25:42,470 --> 00:25:39,600
we do a lot of things innovating

689
00:25:44,070 --> 00:25:42,480
relative to saving money as well a lot

690
00:25:45,190 --> 00:25:44,080
of this mock-up behind you the stuff

691
00:25:47,909 --> 00:25:45,200
inside

692
00:25:50,230 --> 00:25:47,919
is actually designed and built by middle

693
00:25:51,590 --> 00:25:50,240
school high school college students

694
00:25:53,190 --> 00:25:51,600
because they can provide things that

695
00:25:54,870 --> 00:25:53,200
help make this work

696
00:25:56,549 --> 00:25:54,880
also tie education back into the

697
00:25:57,750 --> 00:25:56,559
classroom but also save us money so it's

698
00:25:59,990 --> 00:25:57,760
things like that it's all sorts of

699
00:26:01,350 --> 00:26:00,000
technological and affordability things

700
00:26:02,549 --> 00:26:01,360
we need to do to innovate to make this

701
00:26:04,390 --> 00:26:02,559
work

702
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:04,400
advice would you give for

703
00:26:09,029 --> 00:26:07,200
young women trying to pursue careers in

704
00:26:11,190 --> 00:26:09,039
aerospace

705
00:26:13,350 --> 00:26:11,200
i guess my best advice would be to go

706
00:26:15,990 --> 00:26:13,360
for it i mean i've been in the aerospace

707
00:26:17,830 --> 00:26:16,000
industry for 30 years started as an

708
00:26:20,549 --> 00:26:17,840
industrial engineer so many years ago

709
00:26:22,630 --> 00:26:20,559
and this is an industry where as you can

710
00:26:24,630 --> 00:26:22,640
see you can be involved in cutting edge

711
00:26:25,430 --> 00:26:24,640
technology and you can work with some of

712
00:26:29,990 --> 00:26:25,440
the

713
00:26:31,190 --> 00:26:30,000
world so it's a great place to spend

714
00:26:32,789 --> 00:26:31,200
your career

715
00:26:34,230 --> 00:26:32,799
i would just suggest that you know

716
00:26:36,390 --> 00:26:34,240
there's three areas that you should

717
00:26:37,830 --> 00:26:36,400
focus on so that you can be successful

718
00:26:40,149 --> 00:26:37,840
what we find is

719
00:26:41,750 --> 00:26:40,159
those who focus on doing their best work

720
00:26:43,990 --> 00:26:41,760
hard and meet their commitments are the

721
00:26:46,149 --> 00:26:44,000
ones that are most successful because we

722
00:26:48,789 --> 00:26:46,159
we want folks that are dedicated and

723
00:26:49,830 --> 00:26:48,799
that are working hard and and delivering

724
00:26:51,269 --> 00:26:49,840
results

725
00:26:52,390 --> 00:26:51,279
the second thing that's really important

726
00:26:53,830 --> 00:26:52,400
in this industry

727
00:26:56,070 --> 00:26:53,840
in working with nasa and other

728
00:26:59,190 --> 00:26:56,080
government agencies is that you have to

729
00:27:02,149 --> 00:26:59,200
be a team player everything we do

730
00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:02,159
is around teams it's not individuals

731
00:27:05,990 --> 00:27:04,400
it's teams that make things happen so

732
00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:06,000
being a team player and learning how to

733
00:27:10,630 --> 00:27:08,480
work in teams is extremely important and

734
00:27:12,950 --> 00:27:10,640
then i'd say the last thing is you need

735
00:27:14,630 --> 00:27:12,960
to focus on continuous learning your

736
00:27:15,669 --> 00:27:14,640
learning does not stop when you leave

737
00:27:18,389 --> 00:27:15,679
school

738
00:27:20,230 --> 00:27:18,399
we learn every day i learn every day

739
00:27:21,830 --> 00:27:20,240
those on this panel learn every day and

740
00:27:24,870 --> 00:27:21,840
it's important that you have a focus for

741
00:27:29,029 --> 00:27:27,190
fantastic just go for it and also check

742
00:27:31,510 --> 00:27:29,039
out women.nasa.gov

743
00:27:33,029 --> 00:27:31,520
to look at other brilliant uh brilliant

744
00:27:35,430 --> 00:27:33,039
scientists and engineers just happen to

745
00:27:38,310 --> 00:27:35,440
just happen to be women next question

746
00:27:41,029 --> 00:27:38,320
hi my name is kevin and what was your

747
00:27:43,190 --> 00:27:41,039
first experience working for nasa

748
00:27:45,110 --> 00:27:43,200
hope was my first experience let's see i

749
00:27:47,990 --> 00:27:45,120
was working as a research scientist at

750
00:27:50,870 --> 00:27:48,000
nasa langley research center i was

751
00:27:52,950 --> 00:27:50,880
building in creating fiber optic sensors

752
00:27:55,430 --> 00:27:52,960
to measure strain temperature and

753
00:27:56,630 --> 00:27:55,440
hydrogen on aerospace vehicles like the

754
00:27:59,430 --> 00:27:56,640
space shuttle

755
00:28:00,950 --> 00:27:59,440
and i had never imagined working for

756
00:28:02,630 --> 00:28:00,960
nasa i'd never imagined even being an

757
00:28:04,149 --> 00:28:02,640
astronaut until a friend of mine told me

758
00:28:04,950 --> 00:28:04,159
hey you'd be a great astronaut and i'm

759
00:28:06,230 --> 00:28:04,960
like

760
00:28:07,990 --> 00:28:06,240
me what are you talking about he handed

761
00:28:10,149 --> 00:28:08,000
me an application i didn't fill it out

762
00:28:12,549 --> 00:28:10,159
and that same year our friend dr charlie

763
00:28:13,750 --> 00:28:12,559
camarda got into the astronaut corps and

764
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:13,760
i said to myself well wait a minute if

765
00:28:18,149 --> 00:28:16,320
they let people like that in maybe maybe

766
00:28:21,110 --> 00:28:18,159
i could get into

767
00:28:22,549 --> 00:28:21,120
so i applied to the astronaut corps

768
00:28:24,549 --> 00:28:22,559
after that and it was one of the most

769
00:28:26,950 --> 00:28:24,559
incredible things the outreach the

770
00:28:28,789 --> 00:28:26,960
missions the training the teamwork that

771
00:28:30,870 --> 00:28:28,799
maryland talked about it's all comes

772
00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:30,880
together not just us teamwork but

773
00:28:34,470 --> 00:28:32,320
international teamwork people working

774
00:28:35,750 --> 00:28:34,480
together as one team to advance

775
00:28:37,990 --> 00:28:35,760
civilization

776
00:28:40,389 --> 00:28:38,000
that's what we do as a as a nasa

777
00:28:42,710 --> 00:28:40,399
lockheed martin our contract teams to

778
00:28:44,389 --> 00:28:42,720
change the world and so

779
00:28:46,470 --> 00:28:44,399
that was my first experience and then my

780
00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:46,480
last experience flying in space and now

781
00:28:49,830 --> 00:28:48,240
helping you guys reach your dreams

782
00:28:51,750 --> 00:28:49,840
through education

783
00:28:54,630 --> 00:28:51,760
all right next question

784
00:28:56,710 --> 00:28:54,640
hi my name is brandi and my question is

785
00:29:00,710 --> 00:28:56,720
what is your most interesting part of

786
00:29:04,149 --> 00:29:00,720
your job okay wanna answer that

787
00:29:08,230 --> 00:29:06,230
the most interesting part of my job is

788
00:29:09,750 --> 00:29:08,240
finding new resources to excite my

789
00:29:11,110 --> 00:29:09,760
students and get them motivated about

790
00:29:12,470 --> 00:29:11,120
learning

791
00:29:14,549 --> 00:29:12,480
through stem science technology

792
00:29:16,389 --> 00:29:14,559
engineering and math and working with

793
00:29:18,149 --> 00:29:16,399
nasa and all the opportunities that

794
00:29:22,549 --> 00:29:18,159
they've provided us is very exhilarating

795
00:29:27,590 --> 00:29:25,269
thanks next question hello i'm jordan

796
00:29:29,909 --> 00:29:27,600
groom this is for charlie bolden uh what

797
00:29:32,070 --> 00:29:29,919
is the long-term goal of nasa's deep

798
00:29:34,230 --> 00:29:32,080
space exploration i think you've heard

799
00:29:37,269 --> 00:29:34,240
all of us talk about going to mars and

800
00:29:39,590 --> 00:29:37,279
asteroids and nasa's long-term goal our

801
00:29:41,110 --> 00:29:39,600
ultimate destination for human beings

802
00:29:42,230 --> 00:29:41,120
and it helps that the president told us

803
00:29:45,029 --> 00:29:42,240
to do it

804
00:29:47,190 --> 00:29:45,039
is mars and the orion spacecraft back

805
00:29:48,710 --> 00:29:47,200
here everything that we do today is

806
00:29:51,830 --> 00:29:48,720
geared toward trying to get humans to

807
00:29:55,110 --> 00:29:51,840
mars in the 2030 time frame so that's

808
00:29:57,350 --> 00:29:55,120
the ultimate okay

809
00:29:58,710 --> 00:29:57,360
thank you and i think our time is up and

810
00:30:00,789 --> 00:29:58,720
we really appreciate all the

811
00:30:03,590 --> 00:30:00,799
participation from the students go to

812
00:30:05,669 --> 00:30:03,600
nasa.gov education

813
00:30:07,269 --> 00:30:05,679
edc for exploration design challenge

814
00:30:09,830 --> 00:30:07,279
this has been a fantastic community

815
00:30:11,430 --> 00:30:09,840
helping change the minds and hearts of

816
00:30:25,750 --> 00:30:11,440
our next generation of explorers

817
00:30:30,149 --> 00:30:28,070
nasa is currently developing a new heavy

818
00:30:32,549 --> 00:30:30,159
lift rocket to carry a human-rated

819
00:30:34,230 --> 00:30:32,559
spacecraft called orion multi-purpose

820
00:30:36,149 --> 00:30:34,240
crew vehicle

821
00:30:37,750 --> 00:30:36,159
orion will support deep space missions

822
00:30:38,950 --> 00:30:37,760
to asteroids

823
00:30:40,870 --> 00:30:38,960
the moon

824
00:30:42,950 --> 00:30:40,880
and mars

825
00:30:45,909 --> 00:30:42,960
we are building an exciting future of

826
00:30:47,909 --> 00:30:45,919
discovery science and exploration that

827
00:30:49,510 --> 00:30:47,919
will challenge our world through lessons

828
00:30:51,190 --> 00:30:49,520
we are learning today

829
00:30:53,350 --> 00:30:51,200
the international space station is

830
00:30:56,230 --> 00:30:53,360
helping prepare for these steps further

831
00:30:57,830 --> 00:30:56,240
into space hi my name is suni williams

832
00:30:59,669 --> 00:30:57,840
i'm a flight engineer on the

833
00:31:01,350 --> 00:30:59,679
international space station

834
00:31:03,110 --> 00:31:01,360
outside the protection of earth's

835
00:31:05,350 --> 00:31:03,120
atmosphere is a universe full of

836
00:31:07,990 --> 00:31:05,360
radiation it's everywhere

837
00:31:09,990 --> 00:31:08,000
space radiation sometimes called cosmic

838
00:31:12,630 --> 00:31:10,000
radiation is different from the types of

839
00:31:15,269 --> 00:31:12,640
radiation you find on earth it has very

840
00:31:17,430 --> 00:31:15,279
different effect on human dna cells and

841
00:31:19,669 --> 00:31:17,440
tissues and it's very difficult to

842
00:31:21,990 --> 00:31:19,679
predict the long-term effects of space

843
00:31:23,350 --> 00:31:22,000
radiation on the human body

844
00:31:24,950 --> 00:31:23,360
because of this uncertainty we are

845
00:31:26,950 --> 00:31:24,960
running experiments to learn more about

846
00:31:28,870 --> 00:31:26,960
radiation some of the radiation

847
00:31:31,029 --> 00:31:28,880
detectors are small others are a little

848
00:31:33,269 --> 00:31:31,039
bit bigger outside of the space station

849
00:31:35,269 --> 00:31:33,279
we also have materials international

850
00:31:37,990 --> 00:31:35,279
space station experiment eight called

851
00:31:39,669 --> 00:31:38,000
missy eight and it's also gathering data

852
00:31:41,830 --> 00:31:39,679
to help us understand radiation

853
00:31:44,230 --> 00:31:41,840
protection required for interplanetary

854
00:31:46,870 --> 00:31:44,240
flight we are charting a pathway for

855
00:31:49,909 --> 00:31:46,880
your generation's journey further into

856
00:31:51,830 --> 00:31:49,919
space and we need your help

857
00:31:54,389 --> 00:31:51,840
so get involved with nasa's newest

860
00:32:01,350 --> 00:31:58,880
your journey to mars by tracking one of

861
00:32:03,190 --> 00:32:01,360
the major challenges to deep space long

862

duration exploration

863
00:32:06,549 --> 00:32:05,360
namely the dangers associated with

864
00:32:08,549 --> 00:32:06,559
radiation

865
00:32:10,230 --> 00:32:08,559
and the need to protect our astronauts

866
00:32:12,230 --> 00:32:10,240
as they venture into places never

867
00:32:14,470 --> 00:32:12,240
visited by humans before

868
00:32:17,190 --> 00:32:14,480
register now for the exploration design

869
00:32:19,509 --> 00:32:17,200

student engineers who help nasa develop

871
00:32:23,909 --> 00:32:21,440
the technology needed to protect

872
00:32:25,590 --> 00:32:23,919
astronauts from space radiation as they

873
00:32:28,789 --> 00:32:25,600
travel to the moon
