as far as i can tell the very longest

89
00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:28,240
serving of our

90
00:05:31,430 --> 00:05:30,000
leaders of our

91
00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:31,440
facilities since i know you're not

93
00:05:38,469 --> 00:05:36,400

charles is a true leader at jpl granted

104
00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:04,560
he has a little more license not being a

105
00:06:09,909 --> 00:06:07,440
center and a federal workplace than the

106
00:06:11,749 --> 00:06:09,919
rest of us and i know we look with envy

107
00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:11,759

that we work with all the time and the

140
00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:33,520
accomplishment you have done

141
00:07:38,390 --> 00:07:35,919
as was mentioned in the last summer we

142
00:07:41,589 --> 00:07:38,400
all showed the world what amazing things

143
00:07:43,990 --> 00:07:41,599
our agency can do by landing a mars a

144
00:07:46,469 --> 00:07:44,000
car-sized rover on mars and that was

145
00:07:48,469 --> 00:07:46,479
just one example of what our agency you

146
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:48,479
know does

147
00:07:53,510 --> 00:07:51,280
and it was not only about the science

148
00:07:55,270 --> 00:07:53,520
and the engineering but it also was

149
00:07:57,189 --> 00:07:55,280
about the human spirit

150
00:07:59,430 --> 00:07:57,199
you know of how do we work as a team and

151
00:08:01,749 --> 00:07:59,440
what our country can accomplish you know

152
00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:01,759
when we put our mind to it and and we

153
00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:04,080
work as a team and i have to tell you we

154
00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:06,400
have inspired literally all you have

155
00:08:09,589 --> 00:08:08,160
inspired tens of millions of people

156
00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:09,599
around the world

157
00:08:13,909 --> 00:08:12,240
and i tell you if even that the landing

158
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:13,919
was the most exciting thing you know

159
00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:15,440
charlie and i were sitting next to each

160
00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:17,440
other but what i found particularly

161
00:08:20,869 --> 00:08:19,120
rewarding is after

162
00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:20,879
you know all the emails

163
00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:23,280
that i got from people i never heard of

164
00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:25,120
you know before and every email had the

165
00:08:30,950 --> 00:08:28,639
word inspired uplifted proud odd

166
00:08:33,909 --> 00:08:30,960
brings the best of us so

167
00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:33,919
so it is in a way

168
00:08:37,190 --> 00:08:36,240
each and every one of you in one way or

169
00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:37,200
another

170
00:08:41,269 --> 00:08:39,120
have helped make this mission successful

171
00:08:42,949 --> 00:08:41,279
and this event happened so you all

172
00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:42,959
touched it in one way or another either

173
00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:45,360
by cheering for it or by actually

174
00:08:49,670 --> 00:08:47,519
funding it if you're at headquarter or

175
00:08:51,509 --> 00:08:49,680
by participating like with our friends

176
00:08:53,430 --> 00:08:51,519
at langley who are really critical for

177
00:08:55,670 --> 00:08:53,440
us to really make a successful entry

178
00:08:58,870 --> 00:08:55,680
descent you know and landing you know on

179
00:09:00,790 --> 00:08:58,880
mars so what i'm going to start by is to

180
00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:00,800
pump you up a little bit

181
00:09:03,750 --> 00:09:02,720
i'm going to show a video which i've

182
00:09:06,949 --> 00:09:03,760
seen

183
00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:06,959
500 times 600 times already and every

184
00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:08,560
time i see it i can tell you my

185
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:11,360
heartbeat goes up by 50 percent and even

186
00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:13,360
my cardiologist is getting worried about

187
00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:15,440
me watching this this video but i

188
00:09:17,829 --> 00:09:17,040
thought it's something which really show

189
00:09:20,070 --> 00:09:17,839
you

190
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:20,080
what our agency does so if we can start

191
00:09:31,270 --> 00:09:22,050
with the video

193
00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:37,200
that great things take

194
00:09:41,670 --> 00:09:39,360
many people working together to make

195
00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:41,680
them happen is one of the fantastic

196
00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:44,000
things of human existence

197
00:09:47,269 --> 00:09:45,760
not only we've driven the rover we've

198
00:09:49,110 --> 00:09:47,279
moved its arm put it all through its

199
00:09:51,110 --> 00:09:49,120
paces but it's been in a thermal vacuum

200
00:09:53,269 --> 00:09:51,120
chamber and kept very cold

201
00:09:55,670 --> 00:09:53,279
parts of it have been a centrifuge

202
00:09:58,790 --> 00:09:55,680
we've done drop tests pull tests drive

203
00:10:00,470 --> 00:09:58,800
tests load tests stress tests

204
00:10:02,550 --> 00:10:00,480
just an amazing amount of testing this

205
00:10:04,150 --> 00:10:02,560
vehicle has gone through we've tried

206
00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:04,160
every way of operating at the vehicle

207
00:10:08,790 --> 00:10:06,320
using the software literally thousands

208
00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:08,800
and thousands of hours of software

209
00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:10,000
testing

210
00:10:15,509 --> 00:10:12,880
it's been just a an amazing several

211
00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:15,519
years really of constant testing and

212
00:10:18,949 --> 00:10:17,440
development finding problems fixing

213
00:10:20,069 --> 00:10:18,959
those problems and going on to the next

214
00:10:23,430 --> 00:10:20,079
problem

215
00:10:28,389 --> 00:10:26,710
lc this is the ld on channel one lc you

216
00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:28,399
have permission to launch

217
00:10:32,230 --> 00:10:30,560
roger we're sitting with the count

218
00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:32,240
t-minus 10

219
00:10:37,910 --> 00:10:33,120
9

220
00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:38,949
three

221
00:10:40,949 --> 00:10:39,920
two

222
00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:40,959
one

223
00:10:48,550 --> 00:10:44,880
main engine start zero and liftoff of

224
00:10:51,030 --> 00:10:48,560
the atlas 5 with curiosity seeking clues

225
00:10:56,710 --> 00:10:51,040
to the planetary puzzle about life on

226
00:10:59,829 --> 00:10:58,310
am i confident that she's going to go

227
00:11:01,350 --> 00:10:59,839
and she's going to be successful

228
00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:01,360
absolutely

229
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:14,310
things are looking good

230
00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:16,230
entry interface

231
00:11:19,509 --> 00:11:18,000
at this time it'll begin pressurizing

232
00:11:21,590 --> 00:11:19,519
the propulsion system to increase the

233
00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:21,600
thrust of the system uh we'll use that

234
00:11:30,230 --> 00:11:22,640
for all the maneuvering in the

235
00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:32,069
we're standing by for guidance start

236
00:11:42,389 --> 00:11:39,750
we are beginning to feel the atmosphere

237
00:11:44,230 --> 00:11:42,399
as we go in here

238
00:11:46,310 --> 00:11:44,240
vehicles just reported via tones that it

239
00:11:47,910 --> 00:11:46,320
has started guided entry

240
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:47,920
at this time the vehicle is beginning to

241
00:11:53,750 --> 00:11:50,720
steer its way to the target

242
00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:53,760
we have seen peak deceleration

243
00:11:59,350 --> 00:11:56,480
that is starting first bank reversal we

244
00:12:01,590 --> 00:11:59,360
should have parachute deploy around 1.7

245
00:12:03,690 --> 00:12:01,600
the parachute is deployed

246
00:12:06,629 --> 00:12:03,700
we are decelerating

247
00:12:07,910 --> 00:12:06,639
[Applause]

248
00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:07,920
has separated where we found the ground

249
00:12:12,629 --> 00:12:09,440
expands standing by for bachelor

250
00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:14,310
we are empowered white we're an altitude

251
00:12:17,509 --> 00:12:16,000
of one kilometer descending standing by

252
00:12:26,629 --> 00:12:17,519
for skype

253
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:34,570
touchdown

254
00:12:34,580 --> 00:12:44,430
[Music]

255
00:12:46,620 --> 00:12:46,420
[Applause]

256
00:12:47,750 --> 00:12:46,630
[Music]

257
00:12:50,310 --> 00:12:47,760
[Applause]

258
00:12:52,389 --> 00:12:50,320
what a fantastic demonstration of what

259
00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:52,399
our nation and our agency

260
00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:53,760
can do

261
00:12:58,069 --> 00:12:55,760
i could only think of the words of teddy

262
00:13:00,069 --> 00:12:58,079
roosevelt as i was sitting there

263
00:13:02,470 --> 00:13:00,079
it is far better to their mighty things

264
00:13:04,470 --> 00:13:02,480
even though we might fail

265
00:13:06,870 --> 00:13:04,480
than to stay in the twilight that knows

266
00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:06,880
neither victory nor defeat

267
00:13:12,629 --> 00:13:10,160
and the team brought us victory

268
00:13:14,389 --> 00:13:12,639
today right now the wheels of curiosity

269
00:13:16,949 --> 00:13:14,399
have begun to blaze the trail for human

270
00:13:18,069 --> 00:13:16,959
footprints on mars this is an amazing

271
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:18,079
achievement

272
00:13:22,949 --> 00:13:20,880
well today on mars history was made on

273
00:13:24,629 --> 00:13:22,959
earth the successful landing of

274
00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:24,639
curiosity

275
00:13:29,430 --> 00:13:27,120
marks what is really an unprecedented

276
00:13:32,550 --> 00:13:29,440
technological tour de force it will

277
00:13:35,110 --> 00:13:32,560
stand as an american point of pride far

278
00:13:37,430 --> 00:13:35,120
into the future we've got a long mission

279
00:13:39,110 --> 00:13:37,440
ahead of us and and because of that and

280
00:13:40,870 --> 00:13:39,120
the capabilities are over we have this

281
00:13:43,350 --> 00:13:40,880
possibility for just monumental science

282
00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:43,360
accomplishment

283
00:13:46,870 --> 00:13:44,959
within two months the team found an

284
00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:46,880
ancient riverbed evidence of flowing

285
00:13:51,430 --> 00:13:48,959
water we have found a habitable

286
00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:51,440
environment that is so benign and

287
00:13:55,910 --> 00:13:53,839
supportive of life that probably if this

288
00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:55,920
water was around and you had been on the

289
00:14:01,470 --> 00:13:57,360
planet you would have been able to drink

290
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,629
[Music]

291
00:14:10,470 --> 00:14:07,350
and i would say this agency make history

292
00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:10,480
every day and each one of you is part of

293
00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:12,720
that history that's being made i mean be

294
00:14:17,430 --> 00:14:15,040
it uh sometime i'm amazed when i think

295
00:14:19,910 --> 00:14:17,440
we've had human in space for 13 years

296
00:14:22,310 --> 00:14:19,920
continuous you know or 14 years by now

297
00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:22,320
you know on the space station by january

298
00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:24,160
we could say that our nation have been

299
00:14:27,350 --> 00:14:26,320
present on the surface of mars for a

300
00:14:28,870 --> 00:14:27,360
decade

301
00:14:30,550 --> 00:14:28,880
i mean that is amazing when you think

302
00:14:32,629 --> 00:14:30,560
about what you have actually

303
00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:32,639
accomplished so i thought what i would

304
00:14:35,990 --> 00:14:34,320
do is you know i can't do anything

305
00:14:38,069 --> 00:14:36,000
without showing some slides i guess

306
00:14:39,990 --> 00:14:38,079
that's part of my dna

307
00:14:41,590 --> 00:14:40,000
so i thought considering that mars is

308
00:14:43,990 --> 00:14:41,600
one of the major objectives of our

309
00:14:45,990 --> 00:14:44,000
agency to send a human to mars and

310
00:14:47,509 --> 00:14:46,000
knowing that many of you are very expert

311
00:14:49,030 --> 00:14:47,519
about mars but there are lots of young

312
00:14:51,430 --> 00:14:49,040
people and some of your family i thought

313
00:14:53,670 --> 00:14:51,440
i'd say a few words about mars and why

314
00:14:56,310 --> 00:14:53,680
it is an important place to be a goal

315
00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:56,320
for our nation you know to head toward

316
00:14:59,670 --> 00:14:58,800
now mars is some extent very similar to

317
00:15:02,310 --> 00:14:59,680
earth

318
00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:02,320
uh if you look at the land mass on mars

319
00:15:06,150 --> 00:15:04,160
it's the same as the land mass on earth

320
00:15:08,069 --> 00:15:06,160
if we take the oceans away you know

321
00:15:09,910 --> 00:15:08,079
three quarter is ocean and one quarter

322
00:15:11,189 --> 00:15:09,920
is land so the land mass on mars is

323
00:15:14,710 --> 00:15:11,199
about the same as you so it's a big

324
00:15:16,629 --> 00:15:14,720
place it has polar caps like our planet

325
00:15:18,870 --> 00:15:16,639
it has an atmosphere much thinner than

326
00:15:21,590 --> 00:15:18,880
our atmosphere but it has an atmosphere

327
00:15:23,509 --> 00:15:21,600
you know on it it's much colder

328
00:15:26,069 --> 00:15:23,519
the day is the same as the day here on

329
00:15:27,670 --> 00:15:26,079
earth it takes two years on mars or the

330
00:15:29,269 --> 00:15:27,680
year on mars is about two years on earth

331
00:15:31,829 --> 00:15:29,279
so it's not very different and it's one

332
00:15:33,430 --> 00:15:31,839
of the closest you know planets to us

333
00:15:35,189 --> 00:15:33,440
and let me show you a little bit more

334
00:15:36,550 --> 00:15:35,199
getting closer to mars white looks so

335
00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:36,560
much like earth if we go on the next

336
00:15:39,269 --> 00:15:38,560
slide

337
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:39,279
if

338
00:15:45,030 --> 00:15:43,519
them is the grand canyon that we have in

339
00:15:46,389 --> 00:15:45,040
arizona and the other one is a grand

340
00:15:48,550 --> 00:15:46,399
canyon on mars

341
00:15:50,470 --> 00:15:48,560
so they look very similar so that said

342
00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:50,480
that the geologic activity are somewhat

343
00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:52,480
very similar between mars you know and

344
00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:55,120
earth if we go on the next slide

345
00:15:58,389 --> 00:15:56,880
if you look more in detail if you are on

346
00:16:00,389 --> 00:15:58,399
the surface in arizona and you look

347
00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:00,399
toward the grand canyon and see those

348
00:16:04,710 --> 00:16:02,720
layered rocks on the right hand side is

349
00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:04,720
a picture taken from opportunity in this

350
00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:06,880
case of a crater on mars and you see the

351
00:16:11,269 --> 00:16:09,120
same layering also that you see on mars

352
00:16:13,189 --> 00:16:11,279
so that says that the evolution of the

353
00:16:16,150 --> 00:16:13,199
geologies the deposits which have been

354
00:16:17,189 --> 00:16:16,160
put over millions of years also are very

355
00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:17,199
similar

356
00:16:22,069 --> 00:16:19,440
if we go on the next slide

357
00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:22,079
earth has volcanoes mars has volcanoes

358
00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:23,680
on the left hand side is the volcano in

359
00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:25,839
northern california on the right hand

360
00:16:30,150 --> 00:16:27,920
side is mount olympus on mars which is

361
00:16:32,629 --> 00:16:30,160
the largest structure in the solar

362
00:16:34,949 --> 00:16:32,639
system it's higher than mount everest so

363
00:16:36,790 --> 00:16:34,959
that clearly says that when that volcano

364
00:16:39,430 --> 00:16:36,800
formed there was a lot of volcanic

365
00:16:41,990 --> 00:16:39,440
activity happening on mars now today

366
00:16:43,590 --> 00:16:42,000
it's dead i mean it's not active so

367
00:16:45,189 --> 00:16:43,600
something happened and stopped that

368
00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:45,199
activity on mars and that's one of the

369
00:16:49,670 --> 00:16:46,959
things we're trying to understand but

370
00:16:51,590 --> 00:16:49,680
clearly at some past time it was very

371
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:51,600
similar to earth volcanic activity was

372
00:16:55,749 --> 00:16:53,440
happening we found from spirit and

373
00:16:57,509 --> 00:16:55,759
opportunity and now from curiosity that

374
00:16:59,910 --> 00:16:57,519
actually there were oceans on mars

375
00:17:02,870 --> 00:16:59,920
similar to the ocean on earth so the key

376
00:17:04,789 --> 00:17:02,880
question is if mars is very similar to

377
00:17:07,110 --> 00:17:04,799
earth it has volcanoes it has canyon

378
00:17:09,350 --> 00:17:07,120
geologic phenomena are similar it had

379
00:17:11,829 --> 00:17:09,360
oceans in the past could have life

380
00:17:14,309 --> 00:17:11,839
started on it and if it did

381
00:17:15,669 --> 00:17:14,319
what happened to it what changed during

382
00:17:17,429 --> 00:17:15,679
that time and that's one of the key

383
00:17:19,510 --> 00:17:17,439
objective that we have in our

384
00:17:21,110 --> 00:17:19,520
exploration you know of that planet so

385
00:17:22,870 --> 00:17:21,120
if we go on the next slide

386
00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:22,880
and that's usually a test i give to my

387
00:17:26,470 --> 00:17:24,400
students at cal tech tell them guess

388
00:17:29,190 --> 00:17:26,480
which one is mars and which one is death

389
00:17:31,590 --> 00:17:29,200
valley you know or owens valley in

390
00:17:33,590 --> 00:17:31,600
california it's hard to tell

391
00:17:35,669 --> 00:17:33,600
so the point is that all these phenomena

392
00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:35,679
are very similar so the day one would be

393
00:17:40,230 --> 00:17:38,080
sending the first astronaut when she

394
00:17:42,150 --> 00:17:40,240
lands on mars she's going to look at it

395
00:17:43,590 --> 00:17:42,160
and it's going to look very familiar not

396
00:17:44,950 --> 00:17:43,600
familiar like if you are from the east

397
00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:44,960
coast but familiar if you are from

398
00:17:49,830 --> 00:17:48,320
arizona or nevada or or california

399
00:17:52,630 --> 00:17:49,840
on it so it really would be a very

400
00:17:56,470 --> 00:17:52,640
familiar place for us to expand our our

401
00:17:57,830 --> 00:17:56,480
uh humankind so for you on the next one

402
00:17:59,590 --> 00:17:57,840
and now let me tell you about some of

403
00:18:02,710 --> 00:17:59,600
the results which came from the rover

404
00:18:04,150 --> 00:18:02,720
that we have from uh from uh from uh

405
00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:04,160
curiosity

406
00:18:07,190 --> 00:18:06,000
these are very close picture taken of

407
00:18:10,070 --> 00:18:07,200
what we call

408
00:18:12,549 --> 00:18:10,080
uh sedimentary rocks or conglomerate if

409
00:18:14,549 --> 00:18:12,559
you are a geologist the one on the right

410
00:18:17,110 --> 00:18:14,559
is from earth here and you see these

411
00:18:18,710 --> 00:18:17,120
pebbles you know which are by kind of

412
00:18:20,710 --> 00:18:18,720
stuck together because they were formed

413
00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:20,720
at the bottom of a river and the river

414
00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:23,120
kind of around the rocks a little bit as

415
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:24,480
they tumbled through the river so if you

416
00:18:27,669 --> 00:18:26,240
look in the creek you only see mostly

417
00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:27,679
rounded rocks

418
00:18:32,070 --> 00:18:30,240
on the left is a picture taken on mars

419
00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:32,080
which also indicate that actually the

420
00:18:36,150 --> 00:18:34,320
rock was formed in a similar way so

421
00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:36,160
actually we believe that this area where

422
00:18:40,390 --> 00:18:38,240
we landed was exactly where the river

423
00:18:42,470 --> 00:18:40,400
was flowing in the past and now it dried

424
00:18:44,630 --> 00:18:42,480
up and we are seeing the remnants in the

425
00:18:46,310 --> 00:18:44,640
rocks of it but more exciting if we go

426
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:46,320
on the next slide

427
00:18:50,070 --> 00:18:47,840
we actually drilled

428
00:18:51,990 --> 00:18:50,080
through the surface of mars now

429
00:18:55,669 --> 00:18:52,000
everybody was concerned that the surface

430
00:18:57,190 --> 00:18:55,679
of mars is all red that mean it's rusted

431
00:18:58,710 --> 00:18:57,200
and therefore it's oxidized and

432
00:19:00,870 --> 00:18:58,720
therefore that's not very good for

433
00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:00,880
organic material well that's why you

434
00:19:05,430 --> 00:19:03,600
take antioxidant you know so oxidation

435
00:19:07,990 --> 00:19:05,440
is not very good so we were worried how

436
00:19:09,669 --> 00:19:08,000
how deep that oxidation went

437
00:19:11,669 --> 00:19:09,679
well fortunate or not as we start

438
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:11,679
drilling literally within a fraction of

439
00:19:15,990 --> 00:19:13,760
an inch we start seeing that the gray

440
00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:16,000
dust coming out which is an indication

441
00:19:19,990 --> 00:19:17,600
that just below the surface things are

442
00:19:21,190 --> 00:19:20,000
not oxidized well the next step we take

443
00:19:23,190 --> 00:19:21,200
that sample and we put them in

444
00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:23,200
instrument built at goddard and did the

445
00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:25,520
analysis of that thing and i can tell

446
00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:26,640
you that

447
00:19:33,510 --> 00:19:27,840
every

448
00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:33,520
which is in your body actually exists on

449
00:19:36,070 --> 00:19:34,400
mars

450
00:19:37,990 --> 00:19:36,080
we have carbon you have nitrogen you

451
00:19:40,950 --> 00:19:38,000
have phosphate everything which forms

452
00:19:43,190 --> 00:19:40,960
our dna you find it on mars now i want

453
00:19:45,430 --> 00:19:43,200
to emphasize we have not found life

454
00:19:47,669 --> 00:19:45,440
but all the ingredients for life that

455
00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:47,679
are on earth you find them on mars so

456
00:19:51,029 --> 00:19:49,360
that clearly begs immediately the

457
00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:51,039
question you know if you had all the

458
00:19:54,549 --> 00:19:52,720
ingredients if you had water if the

459
00:19:56,549 --> 00:19:54,559
environment is very similar

460
00:19:58,470 --> 00:19:56,559
could have life evolved on mars and

461
00:20:01,110 --> 00:19:58,480
that's our goal that we're trying to

462
00:20:03,029 --> 00:20:01,120
accomplish in our program so let me go

463
00:20:04,549 --> 00:20:03,039
to the next slide

464
00:20:06,710 --> 00:20:04,559
and this is the area where we just

465
00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:06,720
finished you know exploring and i can

466
00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:08,960
tell you starting a week ago we are on a

467
00:20:13,029 --> 00:20:11,200
track now towards the hills where we are

468
00:20:14,870 --> 00:20:13,039
seeing layers you know of different

469
00:20:16,710 --> 00:20:14,880
strata and our intent over the next

470
00:20:18,630 --> 00:20:16,720
couple of years to climb over those

471
00:20:20,710 --> 00:20:18,640
hills and basically measure the

472
00:20:22,950 --> 00:20:20,720
composition at each different layer so

473
00:20:25,029 --> 00:20:22,960
that will tell us the history of what

474
00:20:26,390 --> 00:20:25,039
actually happened on mars over the last

475
00:20:27,909 --> 00:20:26,400
few billion years

476
00:20:30,149 --> 00:20:27,919
for you on the next slide so now let me

477
00:20:31,590 --> 00:20:30,159
talk about the engineering challenges

478
00:20:33,510 --> 00:20:31,600
clearly one of the most challenging

479
00:20:35,270 --> 00:20:33,520
thing is the entry descent and landing

480
00:20:37,590 --> 00:20:35,280
you know when when you land on another

481
00:20:40,390 --> 00:20:37,600
planet and here is in my mind the

482
00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:40,400
perfect team effort between jpl langley

483
00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:42,480
ames and a number of centers where we

484
00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:45,120
came up with these ingenious ways of how

485
00:20:49,190 --> 00:20:46,880
you land on another planet so on the

486
00:20:51,190 --> 00:20:49,200
left hand side is how we landed spirit

487
00:20:54,070 --> 00:20:51,200
and opportunity just come down and you

488
00:20:56,070 --> 00:20:54,080
inflate airbags you know wow that looks

489
00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:56,080
kind of crazy a little bit but that

490
00:21:00,310 --> 00:20:57,600
turned out engineering-wise that's the

491
00:21:02,070 --> 00:21:00,320
most elegant way of doing it but then

492
00:21:04,230 --> 00:21:02,080
when we move to curiosity because it's

493
00:21:06,230 --> 00:21:04,240
much bigger you know we couldn't use the

494
00:21:07,830 --> 00:21:06,240
airbags so here the engineers you know

495
00:21:10,870 --> 00:21:07,840
across nasa come up with this other

496
00:21:13,190 --> 00:21:10,880
crazy idea which is to do a skycrane

497
00:21:14,870 --> 00:21:13,200
and as you can as you know here at

498
00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:14,880
nasa's the crazier's idea is more

499
00:21:18,070 --> 00:21:16,960
attractive you know we fight about it

500
00:21:20,149 --> 00:21:18,080
because that's what we are in the

501
00:21:22,310 --> 00:21:20,159
business of pushing the limit and like

502
00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:22,320
one employees told me i mean the reason

503
00:21:26,070 --> 00:21:24,400
they like working at nasa as they get in

504
00:21:27,750 --> 00:21:26,080
the morning with their colleagues and

505
00:21:30,149 --> 00:21:27,760
they think about what's impossible and

506
00:21:31,909 --> 00:21:30,159
they go and do it that's what nasa is

507
00:21:33,909 --> 00:21:31,919
all about that's what all of you are you

508
00:21:36,390 --> 00:21:33,919
know all about and i'm sure people

509
00:21:38,149 --> 00:21:36,400
thought nasa we are crazy by when we say

510
00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:38,159
we're going to have humans in earth's

511
00:21:42,149 --> 00:21:39,760
orbit for a decade they said you guys

512
00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:42,159
are crazy well we have done it i'm sure

513
00:21:45,669 --> 00:21:43,679
people are the same saying the same

514
00:21:46,789 --> 00:21:45,679
thing on the asteroid mission saying oh

515
00:21:48,390 --> 00:21:46,799
you mean you are going to bring an

516
00:21:50,710 --> 00:21:48,400
asteroid you know and put it in orbit

517
00:21:53,190 --> 00:21:50,720
around around the moon well that's what

518
00:21:55,510 --> 00:21:53,200
nasa is about we think it can be done

519
00:21:58,310 --> 00:21:55,520
you know that's the kind of uh challenge

520
00:21:59,270 --> 00:21:58,320
that our agency was created to actually

521
00:22:00,710 --> 00:21:59,280
do

522
00:22:02,630 --> 00:22:00,720
so let me go to the next slide so that

523
00:22:04,789 --> 00:22:02,640
was one of the key challenges

524
00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:04,799
uh last one let me illustrate to you a

525
00:22:09,190 --> 00:22:06,960
little bit the kind of things that seem

526
00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:09,200
to be impossible but actually we all

527
00:22:14,470 --> 00:22:11,280
collectively go and do them

528
00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:14,480
after curiosity traveled 450 million

529
00:22:19,510 --> 00:22:16,720
kilometers to get to mars we landed

530
00:22:20,710 --> 00:22:19,520
within two kilometers on the surface

531
00:22:22,950 --> 00:22:20,720
if we go on the next slide that will

532
00:22:25,110 --> 00:22:22,960
give you an illustration what that mean

533
00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:25,120
that is the same as if you hit the golf

534
00:22:29,830 --> 00:22:27,440
ball you know from california towards

535
00:22:32,149 --> 00:22:29,840
sand andrews in england and the gulf

536
00:22:33,909 --> 00:22:32,159
wall has to come straight in the cup

537
00:22:35,909 --> 00:22:33,919
and just to make it a little challenging

538
00:22:37,110 --> 00:22:35,919
for the golfers the cup is moving at

539
00:22:39,029 --> 00:22:37,120
high speed

540
00:22:41,270 --> 00:22:39,039
and you still have to get it in the cup

541
00:22:42,870 --> 00:22:41,280
so this is a kind of problem or

542
00:22:44,789 --> 00:22:42,880
challenge that seemed to be impossible

543
00:22:46,789 --> 00:22:44,799
but we at nasa you know take that

544
00:22:49,430 --> 00:22:46,799
challenge and actually go you know and

545
00:22:53,270 --> 00:22:51,430
now before i go on the next slide i want

546
00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:53,280
to tell you a story which kind of show

547
00:22:57,510 --> 00:22:55,679
you about we nasa still are part of the

548
00:22:59,669 --> 00:22:57,520
renaissance that have started three four

549
00:23:01,350 --> 00:22:59,679
hundred years ago and it's a story about

550
00:23:04,230 --> 00:23:01,360
leonardo da vinci

551
00:23:06,789 --> 00:23:04,240
about three years ago i was invited by

552
00:23:08,549 --> 00:23:06,799
an italian you know reporter to go and

553
00:23:10,549 --> 00:23:08,559
visit the

554
00:23:12,870 --> 00:23:10,559
royal library in turin

555
00:23:15,430 --> 00:23:12,880
and that's where the codex of flight the

556
00:23:18,470 --> 00:23:15,440
actual notes of leonardo da vinci about

557
00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:18,480
birds how they fly and so on actually it

558
00:23:21,990 --> 00:23:20,480
was was put in the vault there and

559
00:23:24,950 --> 00:23:22,000
that's what led to a lot of the theory

560
00:23:26,789 --> 00:23:24,960
in aeronautics and flight and so on

561
00:23:28,470 --> 00:23:26,799
so i go there and of course the guards

562
00:23:30,870 --> 00:23:28,480
take me down you know to the vault and

563
00:23:32,470 --> 00:23:30,880
they pull out the leonardo book and they

564
00:23:33,909 --> 00:23:32,480
started looking through it and i was

565
00:23:36,390 --> 00:23:33,919
blown away

566
00:23:37,590 --> 00:23:36,400
and let's show you the next slide

567
00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:37,600
on the left is the drawings that

568
00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:39,120
leonardo had

569
00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:41,200
and on the right is curiosity how we're

570
00:23:46,390 --> 00:23:44,400
landing it for you on the next slide

571
00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:46,400
on the left is a sketch that leonardo

572
00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:48,640
had about how if you fly how you come

573
00:23:53,190 --> 00:23:50,880
and land and drove and on the right is

574
00:23:55,669 --> 00:23:53,200
the lander that we have on curiosity i

575
00:23:58,310 --> 00:23:55,679
mean you can see you know so we are if

576
00:24:00,630 --> 00:23:58,320
leonardo was alive today he would love

577
00:24:02,470 --> 00:24:00,640
to be at nasa you know and do this kind

578
00:24:04,630 --> 00:24:02,480
of kind of thing

579
00:24:06,950 --> 00:24:04,640
so let me go to the next slide

580
00:24:09,830 --> 00:24:06,960
now these things seem easy

581
00:24:11,830 --> 00:24:09,840
but i can tell you they are very tough

582
00:24:14,390 --> 00:24:11,840
we do have challenges we do have

583
00:24:15,909 --> 00:24:14,400
problems so on the case of curiosity

584
00:24:17,990 --> 00:24:15,919
when we were testing the parachute the

585
00:24:20,390 --> 00:24:18,000
first time we tested at ames that the

586
00:24:22,950 --> 00:24:20,400
picture at your left it went in pieces

587
00:24:24,549 --> 00:24:22,960
so we said oh you know four letter words

588
00:24:27,029 --> 00:24:24,559
what do i do now

589
00:24:29,029 --> 00:24:27,039
you know but of course very calmly the

590
00:24:30,549 --> 00:24:29,039
engineers sit down after they

591
00:24:32,149 --> 00:24:30,559
you know calm down a little bit they sit

592
00:24:34,070 --> 00:24:32,159
down and start filling it out so then we

593
00:24:36,230 --> 00:24:34,080
got the one on the right or it didn't

594
00:24:38,710 --> 00:24:36,240
break but it wouldn't open you know

595
00:24:40,070 --> 00:24:38,720
completely so okay now what do we do now

596
00:24:42,149 --> 00:24:40,080
but then they sat down brought a bunch

597
00:24:44,470 --> 00:24:42,159
of young smart people and they actually

598
00:24:46,149 --> 00:24:44,480
at the end find the solution to do it so

599
00:24:48,630 --> 00:24:46,159
these are the kind of things that we do

600
00:24:49,510 --> 00:24:48,640
every day but people don't hear about

601
00:24:51,269 --> 00:24:49,520
them

602
00:24:53,750 --> 00:24:51,279
because you know we take that as part of

603
00:24:56,630 --> 00:24:53,760
our job you know as things never work

604
00:24:58,470 --> 00:24:56,640
the first time but we face a challenge

605
00:25:01,190 --> 00:24:58,480
and we learn from some time our setbacks

606
00:25:03,269 --> 00:25:01,200
and our mistakes and move on and and

607
00:25:05,909 --> 00:25:03,279
improve what we are doing

608
00:25:08,630 --> 00:25:05,919
so let me finish with the next slide

609
00:25:10,390 --> 00:25:08,640
for me that's an iconic slide that

610
00:25:12,549 --> 00:25:10,400
one of my preferred one the picture on

611
00:25:14,310 --> 00:25:12,559
the left i'm sure you recognize that the

612
00:25:16,789 --> 00:25:14,320
footprint of neil armstrong on the

613
00:25:17,830 --> 00:25:16,799
surface i remember exactly when that

614
00:25:18,950 --> 00:25:17,840
happened

615
00:25:21,190 --> 00:25:18,960
what day

616
00:25:23,430 --> 00:25:21,200
who was with me in the room what tv i

617
00:25:25,750 --> 00:25:23,440
was watching that was when i was still

618
00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:25,760
first my first year in graduate school i

619
00:25:29,909 --> 00:25:27,600
was sitting in the lobby of our student

620
00:25:32,070 --> 00:25:29,919
house was a bunch of friend of mine and

621
00:25:34,390 --> 00:25:32,080
i remember each and every one of them of

622
00:25:36,470 --> 00:25:34,400
what happened on that day and when i saw

623
00:25:37,510 --> 00:25:36,480
that footprint i said i want to be part

624
00:25:39,110 --> 00:25:37,520
of that

625
00:25:40,870 --> 00:25:39,120
and i never looked back

626
00:25:43,190 --> 00:25:40,880
so what i'm hoping is the picture on the

627
00:25:45,350 --> 00:25:43,200
right is our footprint collective

628
00:25:47,830 --> 00:25:45,360
footprints through the rover you know on

629
00:25:50,470 --> 00:25:47,840
mars and i hope the present generation

630
00:25:52,710 --> 00:25:50,480
will look at that picture and say i want

631
00:25:54,390 --> 00:25:52,720
to be part of that and i'm going to do

632
00:25:57,029 --> 00:25:54,400
what's in the next slide

633
00:25:59,830 --> 00:25:57,039
and that's to have humans on mars in our

634
00:26:02,789 --> 00:25:59,840
lifetime and that quote for me is

635
00:26:04,870 --> 00:26:02,799
example exactly what nasa is about we do

636
00:26:07,029 --> 00:26:04,880
not go where the past may lead but we

637
00:26:08,870 --> 00:26:07,039
want instead where there is no pass and

638
00:26:10,410 --> 00:26:08,880
