could be some of the first explorers to

15
00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:38,719
help nasa and its international partners

16
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:41,120
blaze the trail outlined in the recently

17
00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:44,320
announced global exploration roadmap the

18
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:46,800
roadmap demonstrates the important role

19
00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:48,800
of nasa's asteroid mission and advancing

20
00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:50,719
the capabilities needed for exploring

21
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,600
mars and the economic and societal value

22
00:00:57,910 --> 00:00:55,680
of exploration and it what it brings to

23
00:00:59,990 --> 00:00:57,920
all of us the road map makes clear the

24
00:01:02,069 --> 00:01:00,000
u.s and its international space partners

25
00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:02,079
share an interest in pursuing ambitious

26
00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:04,400
exploration goals the roadmap also

27
00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:05,840
highlights the critical role of the

28
00:01:09,270 --> 00:01:07,119
international space station and

29
00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:09,280
preparing for deep space exploration and

30
00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:11,200
the importance of asteroid missions and

31
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:13,600
advancing capabilities needed to explore

32
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:19,350

dust on the moon is is an engineering

59
00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:21,120
question how do you design things so

60
00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:22,560
that they can survive the dust

61
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:23,599
environment

62
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:27,120

temperatures of space its components are

74
00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:56,959
tested at the x-ray and cryogenic

75
00:03:04,790 --> 00:02:58,879
facility at temperatures down to a

76
00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:06,149
