00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:20,560
nasa's missions imagine and build

7
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:22,960
this event is an opportunity to discuss

the

9
00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:27,039
competition and to find out how you can

10
00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:30,000
enter a futuristic design of your own

11
00:00:35,430 --> 00:00:32,640
the competition is currently open and it

12
00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:35,440

going right away

51
00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:04,640
let me take the first question

52
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:06,479
i want to take part

53
00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:09,840
but i don't really own any lego bricks

54
00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:12,000
how can i participate

55
00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:14,319
uh freddie or sam i mean freddie or

56
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:15,840
sarah would you like to take that

57
00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:17,760
question

58
00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:19,360
sure um

59
00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:21,440
it's fine if you don't any own any lego

60
00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:24,000
bricks because um are inventing the

61
00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:26,400
future flight competition

62
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:27,360
actually

63
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:29,120
invites you to use lego digital designer

64
00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:31,120
which is free software provided by the

65
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:33,840
lego group um which you can design the

66
00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:36,000
accompanying prototype to go with your

67
00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:38,640
research paper and a link to this

68
00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:40,480
program is actually on the rules page on

69
00:02:49,589 --> 00:02:42,239
rubric.com and i think you can get to it

70
00:02:52,309 --> 00:02:50,390
okay

71
00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:52,319
um thank you very much

72
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:55,040
um now we're gonna go to one of the

73
00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:56,720
questions we came

74
00:03:02,229 --> 00:02:58,879
that came to us from the google plus

75
00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:02,239
line and it's from crystal

76
00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:05,040
the question is would it only be design

77
00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:07,920
models or should the spacecraft have the

78
00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:10,000
ability to launch

79
00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:12,080
and i believe

80
00:03:16,949 --> 00:03:14,560
that is a great question but we're

81
00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:16,959
really looking at the design models

82
00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:19,040
would anybody else like to care to

83
00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:21,280
answer that april sure i'll take a stab

84
00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:23,680
at that so all these design models are

85
00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:25,599
just prototypes and so it's basically

86
00:03:28,790 --> 00:03:27,280
what it looks like it doesn't have to

87
00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:28,800
fly or launch

88
00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:30,720
so all you need to do is build your

89
00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:33,680
prototype and it can sit on a lego base

90
00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:35,280
plate or not

91
00:03:39,509 --> 00:03:37,440
i'll show you here we have one of our

92
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:39,519
our nasa models and

93
00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:41,440
this right here is just a prototype so

94
00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:43,519
it doesn't fly it doesn't function but

95
00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:45,200
it has all the components on it that it

96
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:47,440
would if it was a real working model so

97
00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:49,760
no it doesn't have to be a working model

98
00:03:54,309 --> 00:03:52,560
great question thanks

99
00:03:55,509 --> 00:03:54,319
okay crystal we want to see those

100
00:03:59,750 --> 00:03:55,519
designs

101
00:04:02,309 --> 00:03:59,760
okay by the 31st 15 more days

102
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:02,319
if you've just joined us we are talking

103
00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:03,519
about

104
00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:06,319
the nasa lego partnership

105
00:04:11,429 --> 00:04:08,959
called nasa's missions imagine and build

106
00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:11,439
we're here to talk about the competition

107
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:13,040
and we have

108
00:04:18,310 --> 00:04:15,360
15 days left in the competition to get

109
00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:18,320
your designs in i have with me today

110
00:04:25,189 --> 00:04:21,280
leland melvin and april lanat and from

111
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:25,199
the lego group we have freddie and sarah

112
00:04:30,070 --> 00:04:28,160
so um thank you very much for people to

113
00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:30,080
bring in their questions and here's

114
00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:31,600
another one

115
00:04:36,950 --> 00:04:34,320
can we use stickers on the model if

116
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:36,960
they're official lego stickers

117
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:39,520
um sarah or freddy would you like to

118
00:04:43,030 --> 00:04:42,080
answer that question

119
00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:43,040
yes

120
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:46,080
you can absolutely use stickers

121
00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:49,120
the only exception is

122
00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:50,720
that

123
00:04:59,590 --> 00:04:56,320
the lego logo unfortunately we cannot

124
00:05:01,350 --> 00:04:59,600
use any models using these logos as that

125
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:01,360
would imply that we're endorsing that

126
00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:02,479
entry

127
00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:04,320
but other stickers are absolutely all

128
00:05:09,189 --> 00:05:06,240
right

129
00:05:11,670 --> 00:05:09,199
great thank you very much

130
00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:11,680
we have another question and this one i

131
00:05:16,469 --> 00:05:13,440
think leland you should be able to

132
00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:16,479
answer this one okay um

133
00:05:21,270 --> 00:05:19,360
she says i am 12 years old and i can't

134
00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:21,280
enter the competition because you know

135
00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:23,680
this competition is for 13 years old

136
00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:25,039
plus

137
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:27,520
will there be other nasa or lego

138
00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:29,440
contests coming up

139
00:05:33,029 --> 00:05:31,600
well there are some really cool contests

140
00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:33,039
going on right now there's one called

141
00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:35,360
the exploration design challenge it's

142
00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:38,160
for kindergarten through 12th grade if

143
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:41,600
you go to nasa.gov education you can see

144
00:05:46,469 --> 00:05:44,080
this design challenge it's where we have

145
00:05:49,029 --> 00:05:46,479
students building radiation shields to

146
00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:49,039
actually fly on the orion vehicle so

147
00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:50,960
it's really cool check it out you'll

148
00:05:53,990 --> 00:05:52,479
learn about radiation

149
00:05:56,070 --> 00:05:54,000
um how you can protect yourselves how

150
00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:56,080
astronauts can protect themselves going

151
00:06:00,230 --> 00:05:58,639
to mars one day and so it's a really

152
00:06:01,670 --> 00:06:00,240
cool competition there are other things

153
00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:01,680
that are out there that you can do just

154
00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:04,319
go to nasa.gov education you'll see some

155
00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:06,000

00:06:37,270 --> 00:06:34,800
way out there exotic futuristic stuff

168
00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:37,280
because these designs may one day be

169
00:06:41,670 --> 00:06:38,960
what our designers and engineers here

170
00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:41,680
use at nasa to build a i don't know

171
00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:43,120
build the next vehicle that's going to

172
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:46,479
mars so be very creative be very open

173
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:48,240
and some of these futuristic airplanes

174
00:06:51,670 --> 00:06:49,919
that april's showing you right here you

175
00:06:53,590 --> 00:06:51,680
know those are the designs that we want

176
00:06:55,029 --> 00:06:53,600
to see your your best work so

177
00:06:58,070 --> 00:06:55,039
looking forward to that

178
00:07:01,029 --> 00:06:58,080
you know speaking of april and the

179
00:07:03,029 --> 00:07:01,039
aeronautics missions um one another

180
00:07:06,230 --> 00:07:03,039
question that we have had

181
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:06,240
is this inventing the future of flight

182
00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:09,440
competition requires a technical paper

183
00:07:15,029 --> 00:07:11,759
april can you tell us what is involved

184
00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:15,039
in that technical paper sure i'd love to

185
00:07:18,790 --> 00:07:16,800
so the technical paper don't let

186
00:07:21,189 --> 00:07:18,800
yourselves be scared off by the term

187
00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:21,199
technical paper so what we want to know

188
00:07:24,309 --> 00:07:22,560
is we want to know more about your

189
00:07:26,469 --> 00:07:24,319
designs so you have all these great

190
00:07:27,909 --> 00:07:26,479
ideas and all these great designs but

191
00:07:29,589 --> 00:07:27,919
you need to be able to show it off and

192
00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:29,599
so what we need is we need a paper that

193
00:07:34,309 --> 00:07:31,440
goes along with it and the paper

194
00:07:37,029 --> 00:07:34,319
explains what your prototype is explains

195
00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:37,039
your design and it also explains why it

196
00:07:40,469 --> 00:07:38,720
would fit well with what we're working

197
00:07:43,110 --> 00:07:40,479
on right now so if you take your

198
00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:43,120
technical paper if you you just add your

199
00:07:47,830 --> 00:07:45,360
details of your of your design and

200
00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:47,840
that'll be great if you go to the the

201
00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:49,440
rebrick site it'll tell you all the

202
00:07:52,309 --> 00:07:50,880
details for the paper it takes you

203
00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:52,319
through it step by step so you don't

204
00:07:55,749 --> 00:07:53,680
have to worry about starting from

205
00:07:57,350 --> 00:07:55,759
scratch it'll tell you exactly what we

206
00:07:59,589 --> 00:07:57,360
want but we basically want an

207
00:08:01,670 --> 00:07:59,599
explanation of your aircraft and why

208
00:08:04,469 --> 00:08:01,680
it's so great

209
00:08:06,550 --> 00:08:04,479
awesome so don't be afraid

210
00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:06,560
but did i tell you you only have 15 more

211
00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:08,879
days okay so

212
00:08:15,029 --> 00:08:12,560
um moving on we have a question from

213
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:15,039
twitter uh courtney has asked this

214
00:08:21,029 --> 00:08:17,840
particular question and it's a really

215
00:08:23,830 --> 00:08:21,039
good one it's talking about what exactly

216
00:08:26,230 --> 00:08:23,840
is the goal of the competition

217
00:08:27,189 --> 00:08:26,240
and i'm going to answer the one like how

218
00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:27,199
how

219
00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:30,080
what the goal is for nasa and for lego

220
00:08:34,709 --> 00:08:32,159
but then i think there's also another

221
00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:34,719
aspect of that question and that is what

222
00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:36,959
is the goal of the competition for the

223
00:08:42,469 --> 00:08:40,240
folks that are actually

224
00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:42,479
entering their designs so let's start

225
00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:45,120
with the first one the first one is what

226
00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:47,519
is nasa and leg why is nasa and lego

227
00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:50,000
doing this competition

228
00:08:53,829 --> 00:08:51,760
we came into

229
00:08:56,150 --> 00:08:53,839
many years ago a really terrific

230
00:08:57,430 --> 00:08:56,160
partnership nasa and lego because we had

231
00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:57,440
mutual

232
00:09:02,870 --> 00:08:59,279
things that we wanted to do

233
00:09:04,949 --> 00:09:02,880
and one of it was how can we get

234
00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:04,959
information about our

235
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:07,200
products and missions out

236
00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:10,800
in a innovative way that would capture

237
00:09:15,910 --> 00:09:13,680
the interests and engagement of the

238
00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:15,920
public well one of the things that we're

239
00:09:18,710 --> 00:09:17,920
doing is this competition

240
00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:18,720
through

241
00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:22,480
you taking a look at what nasa is doing

242
00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:29,829
and uh we um we have uh just a lot of

243
00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:32,160
missions to talk about but with this

244
00:09:39,190 --> 00:09:36,480
focused competition we can um

245
00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:39,200
we can see what you guys can find out

246
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:42,000
about nasa you can go to nasa.gov find

247
00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:44,080
out all about our missions and that

248
00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:47,760
helps us get our story out to you okay

249
00:09:53,910 --> 00:09:50,480
so that is one of the major goals for

250
00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:53,920
nasa and i think lego also has some so

251
00:09:57,269 --> 00:09:54,880
when

252
00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:57,279
they're able they can they can give you

253
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:00,320
their goals of the competition so before

254
00:10:05,990 --> 00:10:03,279
we go to that second part of what what

255
00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:06,000
are the goals uh courtney i'd like to

256
00:10:12,070 --> 00:10:09,519
see if freddie might be able to

257
00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:12,080
give us an answer of what the lego goals

258
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:15,120
are for the competition freddy

259
00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:18,160
well some of the goals for for most of

260
00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:20,880
our lego fans are also

261
00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:23,040
great fans of of

262
00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:25,600
space and they are not a mixed and and

263
00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:28,320
nasa so that's you know for lego it's a

264
00:10:32,949 --> 00:10:30,320
great opportunity and for the fans it's

265
00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:32,959
an amazing opportunity to to do to

266
00:10:37,990 --> 00:10:35,600
combine those two interests um and i

267
00:10:41,269 --> 00:10:38,000
think that's what really is is peaking

268
00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:41,279
in interest um for for lego the lego

269
00:10:44,829 --> 00:10:43,600
group but also for the lego fans

270
00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:44,839
um and

271
00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:48,240
obviously for the lego fan it's it's

272
00:10:51,269 --> 00:10:49,519
you know

273
00:10:54,470 --> 00:10:51,279
there's nothing cooler than to say that

274
00:10:56,710 --> 00:10:54,480
that you've won something with nasa so i

275
00:11:00,630 --> 00:10:56,720
think that in itself is uh

276
00:11:02,790 --> 00:11:00,640
it's a it's a pretty awesome goal

277
00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:02,800
and i just think another another really

278
00:11:07,110 --> 00:11:04,640
cool goal of this this partnership is

279
00:11:08,470 --> 00:11:07,120
that we're getting people that maybe

280
00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:08,480
never have thought of themselves as

281
00:11:12,150 --> 00:11:10,560
being scientists and engineers and

282
00:11:14,150 --> 00:11:12,160
they're building something developing

283
00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:14,160
something creating something that may

284
00:11:19,670 --> 00:11:17,200
one day end up as the model of you know

285
00:11:20,470 --> 00:11:19,680
the vehicle going to mars and so i think

286
00:11:26,230 --> 00:11:20,480
we're

287
00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:26,240
know the principles of design and

288
00:11:31,829 --> 00:11:29,120
building of these futuristic vehicles

289
00:11:34,790 --> 00:11:31,839
and these futuristic satellites and you

290
00:11:36,550 --> 00:11:34,800
know robots whatever we build um but we

291
00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:36,560
have a whole new group of people that

292
00:11:40,870 --> 00:11:38,880
are now learning more about nasa

293
00:11:43,190 --> 00:11:40,880
and how we can save our planet from an

294
00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:43,200
asteroid one day or how we can save you

295
00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:46,160
know get astronauts to to mars safely so

296
00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:48,000
i think that's another big goal is to

297
00:11:52,230 --> 00:11:50,399
let this whole base of people

298
00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:52,240
in our on in the world because everyone

299
00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:54,560
knows what legos are you know to to know

300
00:11:57,590 --> 00:11:56,160
about what we're doing at nasa and it

301
00:11:59,829 --> 00:11:57,600
can help everyone

302
00:12:02,069 --> 00:11:59,839
you're absolutely radiation to space to

303
00:12:04,470 --> 00:12:02,079
everything exactly and i think it goes

304
00:12:07,509 --> 00:12:04,480
both ways because for a lot of people

305
00:12:10,069 --> 00:12:07,519
who um work with lego on

306
00:12:11,670 --> 00:12:10,079
breaks on a general basis they might not

307
00:12:13,670 --> 00:12:11,680
think that they are engineers and have

308
00:12:16,150 --> 00:12:13,680
the capability of building and on the

309
00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:16,160
other hand people who are used to to

310
00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:17,760
engineering and building may not think

311
00:12:25,590 --> 00:12:20,959
of the lego brick as as a tool to build

312
00:12:26,629 --> 00:12:25,600
so it's it's really a fun combination

313
00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:26,639
awesome

314
00:12:31,110 --> 00:12:27,440
um

315
00:12:33,190 --> 00:12:31,120
we have another question from

316
00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:33,200
google plus and that's

317
00:12:37,670 --> 00:12:35,760
forgive me if i mispronounce your name

318
00:12:39,350 --> 00:12:37,680
there richoff

319
00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:39,360
and uh

320
00:12:43,990 --> 00:12:41,200
they would like to know

321
00:12:45,350 --> 00:12:44,000
can an adult participate in this event

322
00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:45,360
with a teen

323
00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:47,040
and april would you like to take that

324
00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:48,800
question absolutely

325
00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:50,880
so the answer is yes you can definitely

326
00:12:55,670 --> 00:12:53,040
join as a team and we would love to see

327
00:12:57,670 --> 00:12:55,680
exactly that kind of that kind of team

328
00:12:59,670 --> 00:12:57,680
going so we have two categories if

329
00:13:01,829 --> 00:12:59,680
you're working on the um on the

330
00:13:04,069 --> 00:13:01,839
inventing the future of flight there's a

331
00:13:06,150 --> 00:13:04,079
young builders category that's for ages

332
00:13:07,590 --> 00:13:06,160
13 through 18 and if you're that age

333
00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:07,600
you're automatically entered into that

334
00:13:11,030 --> 00:13:09,680
category however you're not limited

335
00:13:13,670 --> 00:13:11,040
you're also a part of the larger

336
00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:13,680
category if you enter with an adult all

337
00:13:17,350 --> 00:13:15,600
it does is doesn't qualify you for the

338
00:13:19,350 --> 00:13:17,360
young builders category because you have

339
00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:19,360
two people in the contest

340
00:13:23,030 --> 00:13:21,200
but definitely enter and that would be a

341
00:13:25,590 --> 00:13:23,040
great partnership you'd probably come up

342
00:13:26,949 --> 00:13:25,600
with some great ideas that one if you

343
00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:26,959
entered by yourself wouldn't come up

344
00:13:35,990 --> 00:13:32,629
great great thanks so much

345
00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:36,000
okay i'm looking for the next question

346
00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:41,440
um and uh while we're talking about um

347
00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:44,399
things to think about for designing and

348
00:13:50,310 --> 00:13:47,120
entering into the competition there is a

349
00:13:53,190 --> 00:13:50,320
question for april and that is i have a

350
00:13:54,310 --> 00:13:53,200
great idea for an unmanned aircraft

351
00:13:57,590 --> 00:13:54,320
design

352
00:13:59,350 --> 00:13:57,600
does the aircraft need to have a pilot

353
00:14:01,350 --> 00:13:59,360
that's another great question and no you

354
00:14:02,870 --> 00:14:01,360
don't have to have a pilot

355
00:14:04,870 --> 00:14:02,880
aircraft of the future are going to be

356
00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:04,880
flying in all kinds of ways some that we

357
00:14:09,030 --> 00:14:06,480
know about and some that we don't even

358
00:14:10,790 --> 00:14:09,040
know about unmanned aircraft are really

359
00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:10,800
starting to become more and more

360
00:14:15,670 --> 00:14:13,440
prominent and more designs are are going

361
00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:15,680
on with that so note your airplane does

362
00:14:19,670 --> 00:14:17,600
not have to have a pilot we want to see

363
00:14:21,509 --> 00:14:19,680
exactly what you can come up with like

364
00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:21,519
we said it's the future of flight so

365
00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:23,440
that can be pretty much anything you can

366
00:14:27,509 --> 00:14:25,760
imagine so

367
00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:27,519
the sky's the limit

368
00:14:47,590 --> 00:14:44,710
that's right okay cool

369
00:14:50,629 --> 00:14:47,600
um all right let's see um in case you

370
00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:50,639
have just joined us we are here

371
00:14:56,870 --> 00:14:53,760
at a google plus hangout we're talking

372
00:14:59,590 --> 00:14:56,880
about the nasa lego partnership

373
00:15:02,470 --> 00:14:59,600

00:15:05,750 --> 00:15:02,480
imagine and build i'm debbie rivera and

375
00:15:08,310 --> 00:15:05,760
i head up the nasa lego partnership and

376
00:15:10,790 --> 00:15:08,320
with me today is leland melvin

377
00:15:14,470 --> 00:15:10,800
as well as april lanat

378
00:15:17,269 --> 00:15:14,480
and we have two folks from lego um

379
00:15:18,069 --> 00:15:17,279
freddie hoff and sarah moore

380
00:15:20,550 --> 00:15:18,079
so

381
00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:20,560
what we're doing is we are

382
00:15:27,269 --> 00:15:23,920
getting your questions off of twitter

383
00:15:28,870 --> 00:15:27,279
with a hashtag of ask lego

384
00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:28,880
and also

385
00:15:34,710 --> 00:15:32,000
we have the google plus where you can

386
00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:34,720
post your questions and a thread off of

387
00:15:39,670 --> 00:15:36,880
nasa's facebook page

388
00:15:43,189 --> 00:15:39,680
so with that uh we're going to start

389
00:15:44,389 --> 00:15:43,199
answering some more questions

390
00:15:45,910 --> 00:15:44,399
um

391
00:15:48,550 --> 00:15:45,920
another quick question

392
00:15:50,629 --> 00:15:48,560
hey right here from the studio we have

393
00:15:51,430 --> 00:15:50,639
leland melvin with a question how big a

394
00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:51,440
team

395
00:15:55,509 --> 00:15:52,639
can we have

396
00:15:58,550 --> 00:15:55,519
is it limited to correct question we

397
00:16:00,629 --> 00:15:58,560
have a limit of up to five people on a

398
00:16:02,389 --> 00:16:00,639
date people per team right so if you

399
00:16:05,030 --> 00:16:02,399
have more than that just feel free to

400
00:16:07,189 --> 00:16:05,040
split into separate teams and get busy

401
00:16:09,269 --> 00:16:07,199
with your with your designs okay

402
00:16:11,030 --> 00:16:09,279
remember and exactly and that's a great

403
00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:11,040
question because then what i'd like to

404
00:16:16,949 --> 00:16:14,160
do because some people may be new to the

405
00:16:19,670 --> 00:16:16,959
google plus hangout um freddie maybe you

406
00:16:21,670 --> 00:16:19,680
want to freddie or sarah maybe you want

407
00:16:23,829 --> 00:16:21,680
to just

408
00:16:25,749 --> 00:16:23,839
restate that there's two parts of the

409
00:16:28,310 --> 00:16:25,759
competition and what those two

410
00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:28,320
competitions are

411
00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:30,880
so um

412
00:16:36,710 --> 00:16:33,680
the overall competition has two parts

413
00:16:38,629 --> 00:16:36,720
one is the inventing our future of

414
00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:38,639
flight competition

415
00:16:46,870 --> 00:16:42,959
um now this is uh sort of the academic

416
00:16:50,150 --> 00:16:46,880
part of it which is uh where you write

417
00:16:54,069 --> 00:16:50,160
an academic paper and at the same time

418
00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:54,079
you build a model to go with that

419
00:16:59,749 --> 00:16:57,440
paper the other competition is our

420
00:17:01,350 --> 00:16:59,759
um imagine our future beyond earth

421
00:17:04,630 --> 00:17:01,360
competition we don't have cereal which

422
00:17:07,909 --> 00:17:04,640
is more of a free build competition

423
00:17:10,949 --> 00:17:07,919
which is um where you build

424
00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:10,959
whatever your imagine holds from one of

425
00:17:14,829 --> 00:17:13,760
the future nasa missions

426
00:17:17,189 --> 00:17:14,839
until

427
00:17:20,949 --> 00:17:17,199
2030 i think

428
00:17:23,429 --> 00:17:20,959
um so they're they're both very exciting

429
00:17:26,309 --> 00:17:23,439
and very different and what you can do

430
00:17:27,909 --> 00:17:26,319
to read up on them is to go to

431
00:17:30,070 --> 00:17:27,919
rebrick.com

432
00:17:31,590 --> 00:17:30,080
and there's a big banner right on the

433
00:17:33,430 --> 00:17:31,600
front page

434
00:17:35,510 --> 00:17:33,440
and if you click on that and that will

435
00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:35,520
take you to the rules for both of the

436
00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:41,190
great thanks a lot freddie

437
00:17:46,310 --> 00:17:43,440
in fact here's one from some of our

438
00:17:49,029 --> 00:17:46,320
friends in huntsville alabama this is

439
00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:49,039
coming in from google plus as many of

440
00:17:52,390 --> 00:17:51,280
you know we have a nasa field center

441
00:17:55,350 --> 00:17:52,400
down there

442
00:17:58,310 --> 00:17:55,360
and wesley says i live in huntsville

443
00:18:01,270 --> 00:17:58,320
where nasa is huge

444
00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:01,280
how can i engage lego to do something

445
00:18:05,430 --> 00:18:03,360
like this for younger kids

446
00:18:08,150 --> 00:18:05,440
so i think this is a very appropriate

447
00:18:10,789 --> 00:18:08,160
question for our friend

448
00:18:14,630 --> 00:18:11,909
um

449
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:14,640
i am pretty sure that that

450
00:18:18,870 --> 00:18:16,640
the lego group would be interested in

451
00:18:20,070 --> 00:18:18,880
doing something for younger kids as well

452
00:18:21,110 --> 00:18:20,080
um

453
00:18:24,230 --> 00:18:21,120
i think

454
00:18:26,830 --> 00:18:24,240
the best thing to do is to to

455
00:18:30,390 --> 00:18:26,840
you know get a hold of

456
00:18:32,230 --> 00:18:30,400
both lego the lego group and and nasa

457
00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:32,240
and write an email come with a

458
00:18:37,830 --> 00:18:34,320
suggestion of what you think would be a

459
00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:37,840
cool idea um i certainly know that

460
00:18:41,350 --> 00:18:39,280
we've been really excited about this

461
00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:41,360
collaboration so i don't see why there

462
00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:42,960
would be a possibility of another

463
00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:45,760
cooperation in the future

464
00:18:49,590 --> 00:18:47,760
and i think definitely if you're a

465
00:18:52,390 --> 00:18:49,600
younger kid and you're you know you're

466
00:18:54,070 --> 00:18:52,400
13 or younger well 12 or younger

467
00:18:56,150 --> 00:18:54,080
you know create something build

468
00:18:56,950 --> 00:18:56,160
something and then post your design out

469
00:19:01,750 --> 00:18:56,960
there

470
00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:01,760
other people besides lego even nasa that

471
00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:04,080
may like your design and want to bring

472
00:19:08,630 --> 00:19:06,480
you on to start a new competition so

473
00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:08,640
don't just limit yourself you know use

474
00:19:12,789 --> 00:19:10,559
your own mind to be creative

475
00:19:14,390 --> 00:19:12,799
and build develop create and someone may

476
00:19:16,630 --> 00:19:14,400
say that's one of the most innovative

477
00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:16,640
things that i've seen and take that so

478
00:19:20,789 --> 00:19:18,400
don't don't limit yourself you can do

479
00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:20,799
anything you put your mind to

480
00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:22,480
wonderful wonderful

481
00:19:27,110 --> 00:19:25,520
okay um we have another question from

482
00:19:29,750 --> 00:19:27,120
our google plus

483
00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:29,760
group and this is from jorge and this is

484
00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:30,880
to april

485
00:19:34,630 --> 00:19:32,240
um

486
00:19:36,870 --> 00:19:34,640
our children are from mexico can they

487
00:19:39,750 --> 00:19:36,880
participate in this competition

488
00:19:42,070 --> 00:19:39,760
definitely as long as you are 13 and

489
00:19:44,549 --> 00:19:42,080
over then you're open to participate

490
00:19:45,430 --> 00:19:44,559
from anywhere around the world teammates

491
00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:45,440
can be

492
00:19:49,270 --> 00:19:46,960
right there with each other or you can

493
00:19:50,710 --> 00:19:49,280
even collaborate across continents if

494
00:19:52,549 --> 00:19:50,720
you have other teammates in other

495
00:19:55,909 --> 00:19:52,559
countries that want to participate so

496
00:19:58,390 --> 00:19:55,919
everybody is free to participate

497
00:20:01,190 --> 00:19:58,400
now with with the design software can

498
00:20:02,470 --> 00:20:01,200
you collaborate across

499
00:20:04,630 --> 00:20:02,480
you know from different different

500
00:20:06,470 --> 00:20:04,640
computers yeah so you can so when you

501
00:20:08,789 --> 00:20:06,480
use the lego digital designer if that's

502
00:20:10,630 --> 00:20:08,799
what you're using you go in you create

503
00:20:12,630 --> 00:20:10,640
your prototype you create you design

504
00:20:14,789 --> 00:20:12,640
your build and you save it just like a

505
00:20:16,710 --> 00:20:14,799
regular file everyone would have to have

506
00:20:18,630 --> 00:20:16,720
the same software on their computer but

507
00:20:20,150 --> 00:20:18,640
you can send it to each other work on it

508
00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:20,160
send it back it would be a great way to

509
00:20:23,590 --> 00:20:21,840
collaborate and that's how we

510
00:20:25,110 --> 00:20:23,600
collaborate here at nasa we work with

511
00:20:26,710 --> 00:20:25,120
partners from all around the world to

512
00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:26,720
build the international space station

513
00:20:30,149 --> 00:20:28,799
and sometimes these parts have never

514
00:20:33,510 --> 00:20:30,159
come together

515
00:20:35,350 --> 00:20:33,520
space and so that's how we do designs

516
00:20:37,110 --> 00:20:35,360
and with the with the first competition

517
00:20:39,350 --> 00:20:37,120
for aviation you're writing this

518
00:20:41,029 --> 00:20:39,360
technical paper this paper helps you

519
00:20:42,789 --> 00:20:41,039
with design you know if you were working

520
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:42,799
with someone else how could this other

521
00:20:46,789 --> 00:20:44,720
person start to build your design so

522
00:20:47,909 --> 00:20:46,799
that paper can help exactly that and

523
00:20:50,230 --> 00:20:47,919
that's the whole point of the

524
00:20:52,630 --> 00:20:50,240
competition is to make it as realistic

525
00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:52,640
as possible nasa collaborates with each

526
00:20:55,830 --> 00:20:54,320
other we have 10 different centers

527
00:20:57,990 --> 00:20:55,840
across the country and then like you

528
00:21:00,230 --> 00:20:58,000
said we're cooperating internationally

529
00:21:02,470 --> 00:21:00,240
as well and so we want this to be you

530
00:21:04,390 --> 00:21:02,480
know based on real life scenarios so

531
00:21:06,149 --> 00:21:04,400
when it comes to the aviation contest

532
00:21:08,789 --> 00:21:06,159
we're designing it after a program that

533
00:21:11,590 --> 00:21:08,799
we call n plus three and what that is is

534
00:21:13,590 --> 00:21:11,600
taking nasa's next generation not this

535
00:21:15,270 --> 00:21:13,600
the next generation but the generation

536
00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:15,280
after that and the third generation

537
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:16,960
after that and looking at what aircraft

538
00:21:22,870 --> 00:21:20,080
will look like 10 20 30 years in the

539
00:21:25,110 --> 00:21:22,880
future and right now university and

540
00:21:27,430 --> 00:21:25,120
commercial teams are working on these

541
00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:27,440
designs like you see right here these

542
00:21:31,750 --> 00:21:29,760
are done by college students and

543
00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:31,760
commercial partners working together

544
00:21:35,909 --> 00:21:34,080
again remotely they don't always see

545
00:21:38,070 --> 00:21:35,919
each other they're working on teams

546
00:21:39,430 --> 00:21:38,080
spread out all over the place and so the

547
00:21:41,990 --> 00:21:39,440
idea and the reason we have the

548
00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:42,000
technical paper is so that it matches

549
00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:43,679
just what those people are doing so we

550
00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:45,200
want to see what everybody else can

551
00:21:48,630 --> 00:21:47,039
build just because a university

552
00:21:50,390 --> 00:21:48,640
student's building it doesn't mean that

553
00:21:52,310 --> 00:21:50,400
you can't come up with a design that

554
00:21:54,149 --> 00:21:52,320
might be something completely unique and

555
00:21:55,750 --> 00:21:54,159
something that someone else may never

556
00:21:58,870 --> 00:21:55,760
have thought of before so we want to see

557
00:22:00,390 --> 00:21:58,880
what you can do too exactly yeah great i

558
00:22:02,470 --> 00:22:00,400
just want to interject here this is

559
00:22:04,950 --> 00:22:02,480

question

if you can just wait one momento

657
00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:14,480
as my my lovely assistant is writing it

658
00:26:18,710 --> 00:26:16,960
down on a piece of paper you're smiling

659
00:26:21,430 --> 00:26:18,720
lovely assistant right otherwise known

660
00:26:25,990 --> 00:26:21,440
as cindy steele give her kudos well she

661
00:26:30,390 --> 00:26:27,909
but she's still writing so hold on just

662
00:26:32,470 --> 00:26:30,400
a moment

663
00:26:34,310 --> 00:26:32,480
and sarah mentioned the coolness factor

664
00:26:36,230 --> 00:26:34,320
you know as we're judging these these

665
00:26:38,310 --> 00:26:36,240
different models you know how cool and

666
00:26:41,269 --> 00:26:38,320
imaginative you can be when you design

667
00:26:42,630 --> 00:26:41,279
these and how functional too so looking

668
00:26:44,310 --> 00:26:42,640
forward to seeing them we don't want a

669
00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:44,320
model of something that already exists

670
00:26:48,149 --> 00:26:46,080
we want something that you can think up

671
00:26:50,470 --> 00:26:48,159
that is totally different than anything

672
00:26:51,590 --> 00:26:50,480
we've thought of before right

673
00:26:55,350 --> 00:26:51,600
excellent

674
00:26:57,510 --> 00:26:55,360
okay so we have a question from twitter

675
00:27:00,149 --> 00:26:57,520
and it's from karpour

676
00:27:03,029 --> 00:27:00,159
and uh here's the question what is the

677
00:27:06,310 --> 00:27:03,039
best way to approach nasa with ideas for

678
00:27:13,350 --> 00:27:09,990
well you're the best person for that

679
00:27:21,110 --> 00:27:17,269
the best way to uh connect with nasa on

680
00:27:22,470 --> 00:27:21,120
any of your ideas is probably through

681
00:27:24,470 --> 00:27:22,480
the

682
00:27:26,789 --> 00:27:24,480
public you know you can write to nasa

00:30:26,710 --> 00:30:24,480
our um

751
00:30:30,710 --> 00:30:26,720
imagine our future beyond earth for that

752
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,510
take that one

753
00:30:40,149 --> 00:30:37,510
sure i'll handle that i just had to

754
00:30:41,990 --> 00:30:40,159
unmute my microphone um

755
00:30:44,549 --> 00:30:42,000
this for this competition we are

756
00:30:46,630 --> 00:30:44,559
actually giving away a signed uh lego

757
00:30:48,870 --> 00:30:46,640
kusa hyobusa set

758
00:30:51,430 --> 00:30:48,880
which is a satellite that was launched

759
00:30:53,990 --> 00:30:51,440
into space in collaboration with nasa

760
00:30:56,310 --> 00:30:54,000
and a japanese agency

761
00:30:57,190 --> 00:30:56,320
and it's a lego model of the satellite

762
00:30:59,669 --> 00:30:57,200
we're not giving you the actual

763
00:31:03,190 --> 00:30:59,679
satellite um and we're also giving away

764
00:31:05,669 --> 00:31:03,200
the upcoming uh mars rover lego crusoe

765
00:31:07,269 --> 00:31:05,679
set so this is a brand new just an

766
00:31:10,710 --> 00:31:07,279
account set

767
00:31:13,269 --> 00:31:10,720
uh once it's available in early 2014

768
00:31:15,350 --> 00:31:13,279
that um was submitted by a fan and it

769
00:31:17,909 --> 00:31:15,360
looks just like the rover on mars right

770
00:31:20,870 --> 00:31:17,919
now and it's a it's a very very cool

771
00:31:22,950 --> 00:31:20,880
item very rare and exclusive

772
00:31:24,870 --> 00:31:22,960
and uh along with that we're also

773
00:31:28,070 --> 00:31:24,880
getting a collection of

774
00:31:30,230 --> 00:31:28,080
nasa memorabilia to go along with those

775
00:31:32,389 --> 00:31:30,240
those lego prizes

776
00:31:33,190 --> 00:31:32,399
and let me tell you that memorabilia

777
00:31:34,630 --> 00:31:33,200
is

778
00:31:37,350 --> 00:31:34,640
awesome

779
00:31:39,029 --> 00:31:37,360
i'll even i think i'll even throw in

780
00:31:40,870 --> 00:31:39,039
my last mission i'll throw in a couple

781
00:31:43,430 --> 00:31:40,880
of mission patches flown mission patches

782
00:31:44,549 --> 00:31:43,440
too for the winners how's that

783
00:31:47,590 --> 00:31:44,559
now

784
00:31:50,710 --> 00:31:47,600
breaking news they only have 4.9 million

785
00:31:52,389 --> 00:31:50,720
miles on them so it's not that far but

786
00:31:54,630 --> 00:31:52,399
yeah we're going to throw that into well

787
00:31:57,190 --> 00:31:54,640
that's awesome that is very generous of

788
00:32:00,149 --> 00:31:57,200
you leland awesome very cool breaking

789
00:32:01,909 --> 00:32:00,159

um debbie rivera and i'm the lead for

794
00:32:16,310 --> 00:32:13,039
the nasa lego partnerships and we're

795
00:32:18,870 --> 00:32:16,320
here to talk about the nasa lego

796
00:32:20,389 --> 00:32:18,880
competition it's called nasa's missions

797
00:32:22,870 --> 00:32:20,399
imagine and build

798
00:32:24,950 --> 00:32:22,880
and uh it's currently open

799
00:32:26,870 --> 00:32:24,960

00:32:32,350 --> 00:32:29,200
we are here today to talk about the

802
00:32:35,110 --> 00:32:32,360
competition you can also check it out on

803
00:32:38,149 --> 00:32:35,120
rebrick.lego.com but let me introduce

804
00:32:40,870 --> 00:32:38,159
you to the folks here the team

805
00:32:43,269 --> 00:32:40,880
we have leland melvin who's head of the

806
00:32:47,350 --> 00:32:43,279
office of education and former

807
00:32:49,990 --> 00:32:47,360
chateau astronaut ccc and then we have

808
00:32:52,870 --> 00:32:50,000
april ladot who is the education

einstein fellow here and she works in

810
00:33:00,630 --> 00:32:54,240
the

811
00:33:03,909 --> 00:33:00,640
we have some folks over in um legoland

812
00:33:07,110 --> 00:33:03,919
just kidding it's lego the lego group uh

813
00:33:10,149 --> 00:33:07,120
sarah moore we have in connecticut and

814
00:33:12,230 --> 00:33:10,159
we also have freddy hoff who is coming

815
00:33:14,630 --> 00:33:12,240
to us from denmark

816
00:33:15,990 --> 00:33:14,640
so welcome everybody who's just joining

817
00:33:18,789 --> 00:33:16,000
us

818
00:33:21,190 --> 00:33:18,799
one of the things that

819
00:33:23,430 --> 00:33:21,200
as i mentioned there is a nasa lego

820
00:33:25,750 --> 00:33:23,440
partnership and the competition is one

821
00:33:27,430 --> 00:33:25,760
of the things that we have done but

822
00:33:29,190 --> 00:33:27,440
something else that we have done and you

823
00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:29,200
can still

824
00:33:36,070 --> 00:33:32,320
engage with it and that is we

825
00:33:38,389 --> 00:33:36,080
and lego put lego bricks up on the

826
00:33:41,669 --> 00:33:38,399
international space station

827
00:33:44,070 --> 00:33:41,679
and up there the astronauts were able to

828
00:33:46,789 --> 00:33:44,080
show folks

829
00:33:49,590 --> 00:33:46,799
physics concepts and how things work in

830
00:33:52,389 --> 00:33:49,600
space versus on the ground and there's

831
00:33:54,669 --> 00:33:52,399
lots of cool video on it and you can

832
00:33:57,990 --> 00:33:54,679
take a look at that at

833
00:34:01,830 --> 00:33:58,000
legospace.com that's legospace.com

834
00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:01,840
and uh but we have somebody here who

835
00:34:06,149 --> 00:34:03,760
could actually talk to us about what the

836
00:34:09,349 --> 00:34:06,159
space station is all about and why it's

837
00:34:12,629 --> 00:34:09,359
important leland right so i flew on the

838
00:34:15,270 --> 00:34:12,639
space station in 2008 and 2009 and had

839
00:34:16,149 --> 00:34:15,280
the most incredible time we installed

840
00:34:20,710 --> 00:34:16,159
the

841
00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:20,720
space agency's big laboratory to do

842
00:34:24,790 --> 00:34:23,040
materials processing research to do

843
00:34:27,030 --> 00:34:24,800
human research

844
00:34:28,389 --> 00:34:27,040
you know physics on how the blood goes

845
00:34:30,230 --> 00:34:28,399
through your body your hearing your

846
00:34:32,149 --> 00:34:30,240
vision all these different things so if

847
00:34:34,550 --> 00:34:32,159
we go to mars one day we can use that

848
00:34:36,629 --> 00:34:34,560
that platform as a test bed to figure

849
00:34:38,310 --> 00:34:36,639
out how people will live on mars for up

850
00:34:40,550 --> 00:34:38,320
to a year and a half or so

851
00:34:43,349 --> 00:34:40,560
and so up on space station right now we

852
00:34:46,069 --> 00:34:43,359
have astronauts i think i posted a video

853
00:34:49,030 --> 00:34:46,079
on uh on twitter this morning

854
00:34:50,470 --> 00:34:49,040
of karen nyberg washing her hair you

855
00:34:51,430 --> 00:34:50,480
know how do you wash your hair now i

856
00:34:53,270 --> 00:34:51,440
didn't have that problem in space

857
00:34:54,310 --> 00:34:53,280
because you know i had kind of a low cut

858
00:34:55,909 --> 00:34:54,320
here but

859
00:34:58,550 --> 00:34:55,919
how how do you do these things these

860
00:34:59,829 --> 00:34:58,560
biological things in space and this this

861
00:35:01,589 --> 00:34:59,839
test bed is going to be the platform

862
00:35:02,710 --> 00:35:01,599
that helps us get to other planets one

863
00:35:03,430 --> 00:35:02,720
day

864
00:35:05,270 --> 00:35:03,440
so

865
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:05,280
kevin ford who's one of my astronaut

866
00:35:08,310 --> 00:35:06,240
buddies

867
00:35:10,870 --> 00:35:08,320
took a mindstorms robotics kit and

868
00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:10,880
created a gyro in space

869
00:35:15,030 --> 00:35:13,440
and that gyro is similar to the control

870
00:35:17,510 --> 00:35:15,040
moment gyros there are four of them that

871
00:35:19,349 --> 00:35:17,520
are spinning that allow the station to

872
00:35:21,750 --> 00:35:19,359
be in a particular attitude or

873
00:35:24,069 --> 00:35:21,760
orientation so pitch yarn roll as it's

874
00:35:26,630 --> 00:35:24,079
going around the planet at 17 500 miles

875
00:35:28,790 --> 00:35:26,640
per hour every 90 minutes and so this is

876
00:35:32,150 --> 00:35:28,800
one of the things that we can see how

877
00:35:34,069 --> 00:35:32,160
these lego bricks work in space but how

878
00:35:36,230 --> 00:35:34,079
they would then work under a

879
00:35:37,270 --> 00:35:36,240
gravitational field on the planet and so

880
00:35:39,990 --> 00:35:37,280
we have

881
00:35:41,990 --> 00:35:40,000
education guides for for teachers for

882
00:35:43,190 --> 00:35:42,000
students to work with you can compare

883
00:35:44,950 --> 00:35:43,200
the difference so that as you're

884
00:35:47,430 --> 00:35:44,960
building your vehicles your future

885
00:35:49,190 --> 00:35:47,440
vehicles you have to think about how

886
00:35:51,270 --> 00:35:49,200
would this vehicle work

887
00:35:53,190 --> 00:35:51,280
in a zero-g environment and so those are

888
00:35:55,349 --> 00:35:53,200
some of the things that we use space

889
00:35:58,550 --> 00:35:55,359
station for to help us trick out how we

890
00:36:00,710 --> 00:35:58,560
would build vehicles build um

891
00:36:03,030 --> 00:36:00,720
you know hardware and also have people

892
00:36:04,550 --> 00:36:03,040
working and living on this platform and

893
00:36:05,589 --> 00:36:04,560
for future platforms

894
00:36:08,870 --> 00:36:05,599
awesome

895
00:36:11,910 --> 00:36:08,880
um and like i said uh the video of kevin

896
00:36:15,190 --> 00:36:11,920
doing that is on legospace.com so you

897
00:36:17,270 --> 00:36:15,200
can see him working with that lego gyro

898
00:36:19,750 --> 00:36:17,280
it's really cool so check that out so

899
00:36:22,150 --> 00:36:19,760
check that out okay great i'm going to

900
00:36:23,990 --> 00:36:22,160
go back to some questions we have one

901
00:36:26,310 --> 00:36:24,000
from facebook

902
00:36:29,829 --> 00:36:26,320
and this is probably a good one for our

903
00:36:35,109 --> 00:36:29,839
lego team and the question is how many

904
00:36:39,349 --> 00:36:37,190
so far we've only received a handful of

905
00:36:40,790 --> 00:36:39,359
entries but we're hopeful that there

906
00:36:41,829 --> 00:36:40,800
will be much more by the end of the

907
00:36:44,310 --> 00:36:41,839
month

908
00:36:45,990 --> 00:36:44,320
so that also means if you're looking to

909
00:36:49,829 --> 00:36:46,000
enter um

910
00:36:53,190 --> 00:36:51,750
so come one come all that's what she's

911
00:36:55,349 --> 00:36:53,200
saying okay

912
00:36:57,750 --> 00:36:55,359
and and remember uh it does take a

913
00:36:58,550 --> 00:36:57,760
little bit of time to put these together

914
00:37:01,829 --> 00:36:58,560
so

915
00:37:04,950 --> 00:37:01,839
we're really anticipating a lot to come

916
00:37:07,270 --> 00:37:04,960
in in the next 15 days so make sure your

917
00:37:10,230 --> 00:37:07,280
entry is one of them

918
00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:10,240
okay so now we're going i just wanna

919
00:37:15,030 --> 00:37:12,240
oh go ahead

920
00:37:18,069 --> 00:37:15,040
i just wanted to add that uh

921
00:37:19,910 --> 00:37:18,079
we have had to to to disqualify certain

922
00:37:22,790 --> 00:37:19,920
entries because they didn't follow the

923
00:37:24,470 --> 00:37:22,800
rules so make sure to to to read the

924
00:37:26,790 --> 00:37:24,480
rules and um

925
00:37:29,190 --> 00:37:26,800
you know so give yourself enough time

926
00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:29,200
for the entry so that you can fix if

927
00:37:33,270 --> 00:37:31,760
there is a if there is an issue

928
00:37:34,470 --> 00:37:33,280
but you didn't follow

929
00:37:37,109 --> 00:37:34,480
the

930
00:37:38,630 --> 00:37:37,119
official rules freddie i have a question

931
00:37:40,630 --> 00:37:38,640
for you if someone doesn't follow the

932
00:37:41,829 --> 00:37:40,640
rules will you notify them

933
00:37:42,950 --> 00:37:41,839
that there's a problem with their

934
00:37:43,910 --> 00:37:42,960
entities

935
00:37:45,270 --> 00:37:43,920
okay

936
00:37:46,710 --> 00:37:45,280
yes we will

937
00:37:49,190 --> 00:37:46,720
great so that's another reason to make

938
00:37:51,270 --> 00:37:49,200
sure you get it in on time and early so

939
00:37:53,430 --> 00:37:51,280
that they can catch those you know might

940
00:37:55,510 --> 00:37:53,440
be a small mistake but something that we

941
00:37:57,190 --> 00:37:55,520
just can't you know have with the

942
00:37:59,270 --> 00:37:57,200
contest so make sure you turn it in

943
00:38:01,270 --> 00:37:59,280
early

944
00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:01,280
okay time to get back to some more

945
00:38:08,150 --> 00:38:04,960
questions and uh the next one is a

946
00:38:10,230 --> 00:38:08,160
google plus from google plus and that is

947
00:38:13,190 --> 00:38:10,240
from and forgive me if i'm pronouncing

948
00:38:15,750 --> 00:38:13,200
your name wrong bun pensham

949
00:38:18,470 --> 00:38:15,760
and uh here's the question what do you

950
00:38:22,230 --> 00:38:18,480
want to see in this competition and do

951
00:38:24,870 --> 00:38:22,240
we get free lego parts

952
00:38:28,069 --> 00:38:24,880
i wish okay um

953
00:38:30,870 --> 00:38:28,079
anybody would like to take that question

954
00:38:32,390 --> 00:38:30,880
i'll take the first part and so what we

955
00:38:33,589 --> 00:38:32,400
want to see in the competition is we

956
00:38:36,630 --> 00:38:33,599
want to see

957
00:38:38,870 --> 00:38:36,640
ideas that are based on something that

958
00:38:40,069 --> 00:38:38,880
could possibly work in the future now

959
00:38:42,230 --> 00:38:40,079
like we said it doesn't have to be a

960
00:38:44,790 --> 00:38:42,240
working model but we do want to see that

961
00:38:46,710 --> 00:38:44,800
your entry fits in with what kinds of

962
00:38:49,030 --> 00:38:46,720
things we're working on so for example

963
00:38:50,790 --> 00:38:49,040
if you if you check out what uh what

964
00:38:52,470 --> 00:38:50,800
nasa is working on for aeronautics and

965
00:38:53,829 --> 00:38:52,480
you can do that right off of the nasa

966
00:38:56,150 --> 00:38:53,839
site or you can also go to

967
00:38:57,589 --> 00:38:56,160
aeronautics.nasa.gov

968
00:38:59,109 --> 00:38:57,599
what you'll find is that what we're

969
00:39:01,910 --> 00:38:59,119
trying to do is we're trying to help

970
00:39:04,710 --> 00:39:01,920
airplanes fly safer we're helping that

971
00:39:06,310 --> 00:39:04,720
we want them to fly faster we want less

972
00:39:07,990 --> 00:39:06,320
fuel emissions

973
00:39:09,990 --> 00:39:08,000
but we need them all to be able to work

974
00:39:12,069 --> 00:39:10,000
together and be able to fly in the same

975
00:39:13,670 --> 00:39:12,079
air space so we need them to

976
00:39:16,230 --> 00:39:13,680
we need them to function well with one

977
00:39:18,390 --> 00:39:16,240
another so when we talk about that we

978
00:39:20,630 --> 00:39:18,400
want to see that you have a great idea

979
00:39:22,950 --> 00:39:20,640
but you have a great idea that you think

980
00:39:24,630 --> 00:39:22,960
would fit with what kinds of things are

981
00:39:27,349 --> 00:39:24,640
actually in existence and could

982
00:39:29,910 --> 00:39:27,359
realistically you know be placed into

983
00:39:32,230 --> 00:39:29,920
you know into our future aeronautics and

984
00:39:33,510 --> 00:39:32,240
same with the with the space component

985
00:39:36,310 --> 00:39:33,520
as well there's a little more

986
00:39:37,910 --> 00:39:36,320
flexibility in the the space competition

987
00:39:40,230 --> 00:39:37,920
because when you're sending it out there

988
00:39:42,470 --> 00:39:40,240
you're not necessarily coordinating with

989
00:39:44,550 --> 00:39:42,480
with other spacecraft once you get out

990
00:39:46,390 --> 00:39:44,560
past earth's orbit you can

991
00:39:47,990 --> 00:39:46,400
pretty much go wherever you need to go

992
00:39:49,589 --> 00:39:48,000
but when we talk but you may have a

993
00:39:51,270 --> 00:39:49,599
constellation of spacecraft going out to

994
00:39:53,510 --> 00:39:51,280
do a mission exactly and that's a

995
00:39:55,910 --> 00:39:53,520
possibility too yeah and as we go and

996
00:39:58,470 --> 00:39:55,920
looking at retrieving an asteroid how do

997
00:39:59,990 --> 00:39:58,480
we build a vehicle that uses solar

998
00:40:01,990 --> 00:40:00,000
electric propulsion that's one of the

999
00:40:04,390 --> 00:40:02,000
things that we're looking at doing right

1000
00:40:06,710 --> 00:40:04,400
now to to give us a propulsion system

1001
00:40:08,870 --> 00:40:06,720
that can get us out there grab the

1002
00:40:11,190 --> 00:40:08,880
asteroid bring it back to cislunar orbit

1003
00:40:13,030 --> 00:40:11,200
so that we can send astronauts on orion

1004
00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:13,040
up there to actually mine the asteroid

1005
00:40:17,670 --> 00:40:14,800
and think about how we can protect our

1006
00:40:20,950 --> 00:40:17,680
planet in case like on my birthday uh

1007
00:40:23,510 --> 00:40:20,960
february 15th this past year there was a

1008
00:40:25,430 --> 00:40:23,520
meteorite that hit in russia that could

1009
00:40:27,270 --> 00:40:25,440
have caused much more damage than it did

1010
00:40:29,430 --> 00:40:27,280
so we want to be able to look out there

1011
00:40:31,750 --> 00:40:29,440
and see if there's something coming

1012
00:40:33,430 --> 00:40:31,760
towards us that we can actually mitigate

1013
00:40:35,510 --> 00:40:33,440
or move out into a different orbit so

1014
00:40:37,270 --> 00:40:35,520
that it doesn't impact the planet and

1015
00:40:38,630 --> 00:40:37,280
take out our civilization so those are

1016
00:40:41,510 --> 00:40:38,640
some of the things that we're looking at

1017
00:40:42,710 --> 00:40:41,520
doing at nasa to ensure that we are have

1018
00:40:44,630 --> 00:40:42,720
a future

1019
00:40:46,390 --> 00:40:44,640
and that's about building the future

1020
00:40:48,390 --> 00:40:46,400
exactly imagining and building the

1021
00:40:49,589 --> 00:40:48,400
future imagining that's right this is

1022
00:40:52,310 --> 00:40:49,599
what we're talking about at this

1023
00:40:54,230 --> 00:40:52,320
competition aren't we um but the second

1024
00:40:57,670 --> 00:40:54,240
part of that question was about the free

1025
00:41:00,230 --> 00:40:57,680
lego bricks and before we have our lego

1026
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:00,240
folks answer that question there another

1027
00:41:05,349 --> 00:41:02,720
question came in that has a little bit

1028
00:41:07,829 --> 00:41:05,359
to do with that as well so i'm gonna i'm

1029
00:41:10,950 --> 00:41:07,839
gonna throw that question out as

1030
00:41:12,550 --> 00:41:10,960
to our lego folks and um it's through

1031
00:41:14,790 --> 00:41:12,560
the google plus

1032
00:41:21,430 --> 00:41:14,800
where can i go

1033
00:41:25,349 --> 00:41:21,440
competition online and that may um

1034
00:41:29,030 --> 00:41:25,359
be part of your answer freddie or sarah

1035
00:41:30,390 --> 00:41:29,040
yeah so regarding free lego bricks um

1036
00:41:32,630 --> 00:41:30,400
we don't we aren't really giving those

1037
00:41:35,510 --> 00:41:32,640
away unless you count the prizes for the

1038
00:41:37,990 --> 00:41:35,520
competition which do include

1039
00:41:39,750 --> 00:41:38,000
lego bricks but if the concern is

1040
00:41:41,430 --> 00:41:39,760
whether or not you don't have bricks to

1041
00:41:44,309 --> 00:41:41,440
build a model with

1042
00:41:46,230 --> 00:41:44,319
uh we recommend entering the

1043
00:41:49,030 --> 00:41:46,240
inventing the future flight competition

1044
00:41:51,829 --> 00:41:49,040
since that competition is open for a

1045
00:41:52,870 --> 00:41:51,839
digital model to be created and the

1046
00:41:54,230 --> 00:41:52,880
software that you would use is

1047
00:41:56,790 --> 00:41:54,240
completely free provided by the lego

1048
00:41:59,589 --> 00:41:56,800
group called lego digital designer and

1049
00:42:01,910 --> 00:41:59,599
to download that to build your proto

1050
00:42:04,230 --> 00:42:01,920
type you can actually go to rebrick.com

1051
00:42:05,430 --> 00:42:04,240
and click the banner and go through to

1052
00:42:06,870 --> 00:42:05,440
the imagine

1053
00:42:08,470 --> 00:42:06,880
inventing the future of flight

1054
00:42:10,230 --> 00:42:08,480
competition you can also just try

1055
00:42:12,150 --> 00:42:10,240
searching for it and that should take

1056
00:42:15,510 --> 00:42:12,160
you to the direct download page on

1057
00:42:21,109 --> 00:42:18,150
awesome yeah i'm a i'm a mac user does

1058
00:42:22,950 --> 00:42:21,119
it work on a mac also mac npcs

1059
00:42:24,550 --> 00:42:22,960
i believe so yes

1060
00:42:27,190 --> 00:42:24,560
okay it does

1061
00:42:30,870 --> 00:42:27,200
so i want to build my bill tonight

1062
00:42:32,230 --> 00:42:30,880
well speaking of uh microsoft and the

1063
00:42:34,790 --> 00:42:32,240
mac

1064
00:42:39,190 --> 00:42:34,800
believe it or not we have a question

1065
00:42:44,309 --> 00:42:41,349
no live b gates

1066
00:42:47,589 --> 00:42:44,319
from google plus and here's what b gates

1067
00:42:50,069 --> 00:42:47,599
wants to know does it have to be a plane

1068
00:42:51,349 --> 00:42:50,079
or rocket or can it be a lander or a

1069
00:42:53,349 --> 00:42:51,359
satellite

1070
00:42:55,349 --> 00:42:53,359
oh good question april would you like to

1071
00:42:57,750 --> 00:42:55,359
take that i sure will

1072
00:42:59,750 --> 00:42:57,760
so it can be pretty much anything you

1073
00:43:01,270 --> 00:42:59,760
can think of so the aircraft is

1074
00:43:03,829 --> 00:43:01,280
obviously something that would that

1075
00:43:05,510 --> 00:43:03,839
would fly in earth's atmosphere but no

1076
00:43:08,069 --> 00:43:05,520
it doesn't have to be it can be a

1077
00:43:10,790 --> 00:43:08,079
satellite a lander of rocket you could

1078
00:43:13,430 --> 00:43:10,800
even build a lunar outpost or anything

1079
00:43:14,870 --> 00:43:13,440
that's gonna take us out past earth's

1080
00:43:16,630 --> 00:43:14,880
orbit so it doesn't have to be a

1081
00:43:18,550 --> 00:43:16,640
transportation

1082
00:43:20,550 --> 00:43:18,560
device unless it's the aircraft that's

1083
00:43:23,270 --> 00:43:20,560
the only one that has to be a you know a

1084
00:43:24,950 --> 00:43:23,280
vehicle but in terms of the space the

1085
00:43:27,430 --> 00:43:24,960
space one it can be anything you can

1086
00:43:30,470 --> 00:43:27,440
imagine that belongs out past earth's

1087
00:43:33,109 --> 00:43:30,480
orbit so great question

1088
00:43:34,950 --> 00:43:33,119
thank you b gates um we have we have

1089
00:43:37,030 --> 00:43:34,960
several more but i just want to make

1090
00:43:40,309 --> 00:43:37,040
sure that the folks who have just joined

1091
00:43:43,270 --> 00:43:40,319
us realize that we are talking about the

1092
00:43:45,750 --> 00:43:43,280
nasa lego competition called a nasa's

1093
00:43:47,990 --> 00:43:45,760
missions imagine a build i'm debbie

1094
00:43:50,470 --> 00:43:48,000
rivera head of the nasa lego

1095
00:43:52,150 --> 00:43:50,480
partnerships with me today is leland

1096
00:43:53,990 --> 00:43:52,160
melvin head of our

1097
00:43:56,630 --> 00:43:54,000
education office here at nasa and we

1098
00:43:58,710 --> 00:43:56,640
have april lanat and she's one of our

1099
00:44:02,550 --> 00:43:58,720
education einstein fellows who works in

1100
00:44:05,190 --> 00:44:02,560
the aeronautics area we also have um our

1101
00:44:06,550 --> 00:44:05,200
lego folks and that is

1102
00:44:08,710 --> 00:44:06,560
sarah moore

1103
00:44:11,589 --> 00:44:08,720
she's here with us in the united states

1104
00:44:15,430 --> 00:44:11,599
in connecticut as well as freddie hoff

1105
00:44:17,829 --> 00:44:15,440
from denmark okay we have only about

1106
00:44:19,910 --> 00:44:17,839
maybe 12 minutes left so i really want

1107
00:44:22,790 --> 00:44:19,920
to get these questions good questions in

1108
00:44:25,990 --> 00:44:22,800
come on come on

1109
00:44:28,870 --> 00:44:26,000
all right from um google plus peter is

1110
00:44:32,710 --> 00:44:28,880
asking can you elaborate on inspired

1111
00:44:35,270 --> 00:44:32,720
originality what does that really mean

1112
00:44:37,190 --> 00:44:35,280
sure i can do that one go april

1113
00:44:38,630 --> 00:44:37,200
so so one of the things that we want to

1114
00:44:40,550 --> 00:44:38,640
do is we want to see what you can come

1115
00:44:41,589 --> 00:44:40,560
up with on your own however like i just

1116
00:44:44,309 --> 00:44:41,599
said

1117
00:44:46,230 --> 00:44:44,319
we want we want models that fit in with

1118
00:44:48,069 --> 00:44:46,240
uh with what we're doing right now so

1119
00:44:50,230 --> 00:44:48,079
for example if you take a look at what

1120
00:44:53,430 --> 00:44:50,240
aeronautics is working on we're working

1121
00:44:55,829 --> 00:44:53,440
on aircraft that fly perhaps faster than

1122
00:44:58,390 --> 00:44:55,839
the speed of sound we're looking at

1123
00:45:00,230 --> 00:44:58,400
new model new shapes we have lots of

1124
00:45:02,309 --> 00:45:00,240
composite structures and so we're able

1125
00:45:04,550 --> 00:45:02,319
to come up with new designs but we want

1126
00:45:06,630 --> 00:45:04,560
to know that your model that your design

1127
00:45:08,230 --> 00:45:06,640
would fit into what's going on what's

1128
00:45:10,470 --> 00:45:08,240
really going on so when we talk about

1129
00:45:12,870 --> 00:45:10,480
inspired what we really mean is more in

1130
00:45:14,710 --> 00:45:12,880
a way almost informed creativity so we

1131
00:45:16,790 --> 00:45:14,720
want to know that you have an idea of

1132
00:45:19,190 --> 00:45:16,800
what's going on in the first place and

1133
00:45:20,950 --> 00:45:19,200
how your design can fit in with what's

1134
00:45:22,470 --> 00:45:20,960
already going on so we want you to be

1135
00:45:24,630 --> 00:45:22,480
creative we don't want you to build what

1136
00:45:26,710 --> 00:45:24,640
we've already built but we want it to

1137
00:45:28,470 --> 00:45:26,720
fit in with everything else we're doing

1138
00:45:30,630 --> 00:45:28,480
and where you can get that information

1139
00:45:33,750 --> 00:45:30,640
about what nasa is doing again is on w

1140
00:45:37,109 --> 00:45:34,870
okay

1141
00:45:40,550 --> 00:45:37,119
we have another question

1142
00:45:43,030 --> 00:45:40,560
what if you build your model how do you

1143
00:45:46,470 --> 00:45:43,040
you send it in as a physical model or do

1144
00:45:49,670 --> 00:45:46,480
you use pictures or how how do you do

1145
00:45:54,550 --> 00:45:49,680
the entry application

1146
00:45:58,390 --> 00:45:56,470
do they post that one

1147
00:46:00,390 --> 00:45:58,400
okay yes

1148
00:46:02,710 --> 00:46:00,400
okay great

1149
00:46:04,150 --> 00:46:02,720
go ahead um what you do is you actually

1150
00:46:05,190 --> 00:46:04,160
um you

1151
00:46:06,150 --> 00:46:05,200
put the

1152
00:46:07,510 --> 00:46:06,160
um

1153
00:46:09,589 --> 00:46:07,520
you submit it to rebrick which is a

1154
00:46:11,109 --> 00:46:09,599
social bookmarking website which means

1155
00:46:13,430 --> 00:46:11,119
that you have to pretty much submit your

1156
00:46:15,829 --> 00:46:13,440
photo onto an image hosting platform

1157
00:46:17,589 --> 00:46:15,839
such as flickr or photobucket and then

1158
00:46:18,870 --> 00:46:17,599
bookmark it is what we call it when you

1159
00:46:20,630 --> 00:46:18,880
submit a link

1160
00:46:23,270 --> 00:46:20,640
directly onto rebrick within the

1161
00:46:24,710 --> 00:46:23,280
building challenge category that way we

1162
00:46:26,829 --> 00:46:24,720
know you're entering the competition and

1163
00:46:28,470 --> 00:46:26,839
we can evaluate it

1164
00:46:31,109 --> 00:46:28,480
properly

1165
00:46:33,270 --> 00:46:31,119
it's uh it's all described in the rules

1166
00:46:35,670 --> 00:46:33,280
and i think one of the things is a key

1167
00:46:38,390 --> 00:46:35,680
factor is that to to make sure you get a

1168
00:46:40,790 --> 00:46:38,400
good image so when you take a photo of

1169
00:46:43,829 --> 00:46:40,800
of the the creation that you build make

1170
00:46:46,069 --> 00:46:43,839
sure to to have the lighting right and

1171
00:46:50,069 --> 00:46:46,079
and to take a picture that really shows

1172
00:46:53,030 --> 00:46:50,079
off the best of what you build

1173
00:46:56,470 --> 00:46:53,040
terrific and again that uh the rules and

1174
00:46:57,829 --> 00:46:56,480
all the how to's are on www

1175
00:47:00,510 --> 00:46:57,839
well i don't even think you do do the

1176
00:47:02,630 --> 00:47:00,520
w's anymore it's

1177
00:47:04,309 --> 00:47:02,640
rebrick.lego.com okay that's where you

1178
00:47:06,069 --> 00:47:04,319
can get that information

1179
00:47:08,630 --> 00:47:06,079
okay moving on

1180
00:47:09,589 --> 00:47:08,640
trenton through google plus would like

1181
00:47:14,390 --> 00:47:09,599
to know

1182
00:47:19,589 --> 00:47:17,990
is there is there a limit uh freddie

1183
00:47:20,550 --> 00:47:19,599
yes

1184
00:47:23,589 --> 00:47:20,560
okay

1185
00:47:26,069 --> 00:47:23,599
so you can only submit one entry per

1186
00:47:29,990 --> 00:47:26,079
contest

1187
00:47:32,309 --> 00:47:30,000
so that means one by the end of july 15

1188
00:47:35,750 --> 00:47:32,319
for the competition called nasa's

1189
00:47:36,829 --> 00:47:35,760
missions imagine and build okay great

1190
00:47:41,190 --> 00:47:36,839
and

1191
00:47:43,670 --> 00:47:41,200
um viducci from google plus is asking

1192
00:47:45,829 --> 00:47:43,680
can we participate solo

1193
00:47:48,230 --> 00:47:45,839
or do you have to be in a team

1194
00:47:50,630 --> 00:47:48,240
and uh leland what do you think

1195
00:47:52,950 --> 00:47:50,640
i think you can either go solo if you

1196
00:47:55,829 --> 00:47:52,960
want to or you can be part of a team i

1197
00:47:57,589 --> 00:47:55,839
think up to five people on the team and

1198
00:47:59,030 --> 00:47:57,599
if you get a team bigger than five then

1199
00:48:00,950 --> 00:47:59,040
you have to break it off and create two

1200
00:48:03,430 --> 00:48:00,960
teams i think that's what april told me

1201
00:48:05,270 --> 00:48:03,440
earlier so uh but but just be very

1202
00:48:06,630 --> 00:48:05,280
creative and if if you have maybe one

1203
00:48:07,990 --> 00:48:06,640
person working on one part of the

1204
00:48:10,390 --> 00:48:08,000
vehicle one person working on another

1205
00:48:13,030 --> 00:48:10,400
part you can combine those efforts to

1206
00:48:15,190 --> 00:48:13,040
make this super super really cool uh

1207
00:48:17,270 --> 00:48:15,200
design that we're gonna

1208
00:48:18,390 --> 00:48:17,280
give you some thumbs up for

1209
00:48:23,030 --> 00:48:18,400
awesome

1210
00:48:24,390 --> 00:48:23,040
so with that tammy from google plus says

1211
00:48:27,030 --> 00:48:24,400
or asks

1212
00:48:28,790 --> 00:48:27,040
are there going to be new lego products

1213
00:48:30,630 --> 00:48:28,800
or kits that come out of this

1214
00:48:32,950 --> 00:48:30,640
competition

1215
00:48:36,230 --> 00:48:32,960
ready

1216
00:48:39,349 --> 00:48:36,240
um well that's interesting um

1217
00:48:40,150 --> 00:48:39,359
this is not something that we

1218
00:48:42,630 --> 00:48:40,160
are

1219
00:48:44,390 --> 00:48:42,640
planning on at this point but

1220
00:48:45,910 --> 00:48:44,400
i'll have to say that you never know

1221
00:48:48,950 --> 00:48:45,920
what's going to happen

1222
00:48:50,950 --> 00:48:48,960
so um you know if something is is is

1223
00:48:53,109 --> 00:48:50,960
amazing that's obviously worth

1224
00:48:55,510 --> 00:48:53,119
considering

1225
00:48:57,030 --> 00:48:55,520
and we would of course work sorry we'd

1226
00:48:59,109 --> 00:48:57,040
of course work closely with uh the

1227
00:49:03,190 --> 00:48:59,119
person who submitted the design if we

1228
00:49:05,349 --> 00:49:03,200
chose to pursue to pursue that path

1229
00:49:08,069 --> 00:49:05,359
exactly now let me ask you all a

1230
00:49:11,510 --> 00:49:08,079
question then uh from the studio debbie

1231
00:49:14,549 --> 00:49:11,520
rivera question um can the winner of

1232
00:49:16,710 --> 00:49:14,559
this competition put their model on the

1233
00:49:18,309 --> 00:49:16,720
kuzo site

1234
00:49:19,829 --> 00:49:18,319
absolutely there's abs there's no

1235
00:49:22,470 --> 00:49:19,839
problem with that and for those who

1236
00:49:23,990 --> 00:49:22,480
don't know about lego cuso it's a

1237
00:49:25,990 --> 00:49:24,000
platform where you can it's a

1238
00:49:28,790 --> 00:49:26,000
crowdsourcing platform where users can

1239
00:49:31,990 --> 00:49:28,800
submit ideas from new lego sets and if

1240
00:49:33,829 --> 00:49:32,000
an idea reaches 10 000 supporters um it

1241
00:49:35,990 --> 00:49:33,839
will be considered for a potential lego

1242
00:49:39,829 --> 00:49:36,000
set and that's actually how the two

1243
00:49:42,630 --> 00:49:39,839
prizes for the um imagine our future

1244
00:49:44,710 --> 00:49:42,640
beyond earth competition um came from

1245
00:49:46,390 --> 00:49:44,720
the hayabusa and the mars rover were

1246
00:49:48,069 --> 00:49:46,400
submitted by a fan

1247
00:49:51,349 --> 00:49:48,079
and are now

1248
00:49:52,309 --> 00:49:51,359
in the process of becoming sets

1249
00:49:55,589 --> 00:49:52,319
awesome

1250
00:49:57,430 --> 00:49:55,599
and i think the goal of the of the fans

1251
00:50:01,349 --> 00:49:57,440
and the students and everyone out there

1252
00:50:04,390 --> 00:50:01,359
is to just blow lego's socks off

1253
00:50:05,829 --> 00:50:04,400
and you know your inventive creative you

1254
00:50:07,109 --> 00:50:05,839
know design

1255
00:50:09,190 --> 00:50:07,119
may make them want to call you right

1256
00:50:12,150 --> 00:50:09,200
away once they see it so you know use

1257
00:50:14,069 --> 00:50:12,160
your brains be creative be so you know

1258
00:50:17,109 --> 00:50:14,079
have some really cool stuff that they

1259
00:50:19,589 --> 00:50:17,119
won't want to turn you down okay

1260
00:50:21,109 --> 00:50:19,599
and that is definitely uh something to

1261
00:50:24,710 --> 00:50:21,119
remember for sure

1262
00:50:27,750 --> 00:50:24,720
um another uh question came in uh from

1263
00:50:30,710 --> 00:50:27,760
this time youtube and it is does it

1264
00:50:33,030 --> 00:50:30,720
matter if you are not american to enter

1265
00:50:34,549 --> 00:50:33,040
this competition

1266
00:50:35,829 --> 00:50:34,559
and sarah would you like to answer that

1267
00:50:38,150 --> 00:50:35,839
one for us

1268
00:50:39,910 --> 00:50:38,160
sure um that does not matter at all uh

1269
00:50:41,829 --> 00:50:39,920
we we talked to someone earlier who's

1270
00:50:43,190 --> 00:50:41,839
interested in entering from mexico and

1271
00:50:45,190 --> 00:50:43,200
that is

1272
00:50:47,109 --> 00:50:45,200
most countries unless it's already

1273
00:50:48,710 --> 00:50:47,119
unless it's prohibited there by law um

1274
00:50:50,710 --> 00:50:48,720
it's completely fine to enter and you

1275
00:50:53,190 --> 00:50:50,720
can find a list of the few countries

1276
00:50:55,190 --> 00:50:53,200
where there might be complications in

1277
00:51:00,150 --> 00:50:55,200
the rules by going to rebrick.com and

1278
00:51:05,349 --> 00:51:01,910
cool that's very good

1279
00:51:07,750 --> 00:51:05,359
okay and here is uh another question

1280
00:51:10,950 --> 00:51:07,760
from google plus and that is where did

1281
00:51:13,670 --> 00:51:10,960
the idea of using lego to construct

1282
00:51:16,710 --> 00:51:13,680
models for nasa come from

1283
00:51:17,670 --> 00:51:16,720
great question and that has come from

1284
00:51:24,549 --> 00:51:17,680
the

1285
00:51:26,870 --> 00:51:24,559
years

1286
00:51:28,870 --> 00:51:26,880
nasa and lego came together maybe about

1287
00:51:29,750 --> 00:51:28,880
five years ago i think with our very

1288
00:51:32,150 --> 00:51:29,760
first

1289
00:51:34,950 --> 00:51:32,160
agreement to form a partnership and

1290
00:51:37,510 --> 00:51:34,960
we've done a myriad of things

1291
00:51:39,030 --> 00:51:37,520
from that time we've talked about one of

1292
00:51:41,270 --> 00:51:39,040
them which is

1293
00:51:45,190 --> 00:51:41,280
putting lego bricks up on the space

1294
00:51:47,190 --> 00:51:45,200
station where astronauts can use them to

1295
00:51:49,349 --> 00:51:47,200
talk about physics

1296
00:51:52,069 --> 00:51:49,359
and other things that just can't happen

1297
00:51:53,670 --> 00:51:52,079
on earth and then this competition is

1298
00:51:54,630 --> 00:51:53,680
