1
00:00:27,429 --> 00:00:25,109
this mission is a wonderful example of

2
00:00:29,349 --> 00:00:27,439
the more than 40-year collaboration in

3
00:00:31,269 --> 00:00:29,359
space between japan and the united

4
00:00:37,510 --> 00:00:31,279
states and the work that our two

5
00:00:41,510 --> 00:00:39,590
on a personal level it's especially

6
00:00:43,350 --> 00:00:41,520
meaningful for me

7
00:00:45,350 --> 00:00:43,360
because president kennedy believed in

8
00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:45,360
the power of space research and

9
00:00:49,670 --> 00:00:46,800
exploration

10
00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:49,680
to improve the daily lives of people on

11
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:50,800
earth

12
00:00:58,869 --> 00:00:52,800
increase knowledge and understanding and

13
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:01,189
what our two countries have accomplished

14
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:03,440
today in launching the gpm core

15
00:01:09,030 --> 00:01:05,920
observatory will benefit the entire

16
00:01:11,830 --> 00:01:09,040
world the revolutionary new data made

17
00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:11,840
possible by this international mission

18
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:14,400
will provide insights into our planet's

19
00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:16,720
life-sustaining water cycle

20
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:18,560
we'll make weather forecasts more

21
00:01:26,789 --> 00:01:21,520
accurate and will help us better manage

22
00:01:30,710 --> 00:01:28,950
we had a very uh

23
00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:30,720
successful separation

24
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:33,600
from launch vehicle at the
