00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:03,110
this month NASA celebrates the 10th

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:04,890
anniversary of our mars exploration

3
00:00:10,089 --> 00:00:08,370
rovers spirit and opportunity the

4
00:00:13,850 --> 00:00:10,099
rover's captured the world's imagination

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:13,860
immediately in 2004 they went right to

6
00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:16,410
work doing science and what was supposed

7
00:00:21,740 --> 00:00:18,720
to be a 90-day mission is still going

8
00:00:24,980 --> 00:00:21,750
strong with opportunity still exploring

9
00:00:27,410 --> 00:00:24,990
and returning data home the two Rovers

10
00:00:29,810 --> 00:00:27,420
are a testament to NASA ingenuity and

11
00:00:31,550 --> 00:00:29,820
the confidence and investment the

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:31,560
American people have placed in their

13
00:00:37,250 --> 00:00:35,250
space program together these amazing

14
00:00:40,819 --> 00:00:37,260
robots will go down in history for their

15
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:40,829
tenacity and their many findings NASA is

16
00:00:45,709 --> 00:00:42,930
committed to leading the world in the

17
00:00:47,690 --> 00:00:45,719
exploration of Mars and these Rovers are

18
00:00:49,639 --> 00:00:47,700
among many ongoing and future missions

19
00:00:51,950 --> 00:00:49,649
that will continue to improve our

20
00:00:55,010 --> 00:00:51,960
understanding of Mars and pave the way

21
00:00:57,610 --> 00:00:55,020
for human missions to the red planet the

22
00:01:00,200 --> 00:00:57,620
US remains the only nation to ever

23
00:01:03,290 --> 00:01:00,210
successfully land and operate Rovers on

24
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:03,300
Mars our exploration of Mars remain

25
00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:06,090
strong with the success of the Curiosity

26
00:01:11,210 --> 00:01:08,670
rover the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter

27
00:01:13,850 --> 00:01:11,220
and Mars Odyssey spacecraft currently

28
00:01:16,820 --> 00:01:13,860
orbiting the planet a mars lander

29
00:01:20,030 --> 00:01:16,830
mission call insight is set to launch in

30
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:20,040
2016 and take the first look into the

31
00:01:26,090 --> 00:01:23,460
deep interior of Mars another Mars rover

32
00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:26,100
scheduled to launch in 2020 will build

33
00:01:32,270 --> 00:01:29,520
on the success of curiosity our work at

34
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:32,280
Mars is far from over even as

35
00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:34,710
opportunity continues to roam the

36
00:01:38,899 --> 00:01:36,720
Curiosity rover has already determined

37
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:38,909
that Mars could have supported life in

38
00:01:43,789 --> 00:01:41,520
the past and it continues to study the

39
00:01:46,460 --> 00:01:43,799
planet with the most sophisticated set

40
00:01:48,859 --> 00:01:46,470
of instruments ever landed joining our

41
00:01:51,260 --> 00:01:48,869
rovers and orbiters soon will be maven

42
00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:51,270
which arrives this September to study

43
00:01:56,149 --> 00:01:54,240
the Martian upper atmosphere all of this

44
00:01:59,600 --> 00:01:56,159
will pave the way for humans to travel

45
00:02:02,480 --> 00:01:59,610
to Mars in the 2030s science and

46
00:02:05,060 --> 00:02:02,490
exploration are working together to make

47
00:02:06,830 --> 00:02:05,070
this historic feat possible and we're

48
00:02:08,930 --> 00:02:06,840
developing technologies right now

49
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:08,940
including the Space Launch System and

50
00:02:13,780 --> 00:02:11,970
the Orion multi-purpose crew vehicle to

51
00:02:16,660 --> 00:02:13,790
take astronauts once again 2d

52
00:02:19,390 --> 00:02:16,670
space as we celebrate this wonderful

53
00:02:21,970 --> 00:02:19,400
anniversary we can look back at the ways

54
00:02:24,399 --> 00:02:21,980
Spirit and Opportunity transformed our

55
00:02:27,190 --> 00:02:24,409
understanding of Mars and look forward
