1
00:00:00,830 --> 00:00:04,180
Blast Off!

2
00:00:04,180 --> 00:00:12,560
Look at the rocket ship!

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:17,580
(Rocket Engine Sounds)

4
00:00:17,580 --> 00:00:24,100
At NASA, we're reaching for new heights so
we remain the world's leader in

5
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:25,100
space...

6
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:26,570
We're pioneers and we always have been.

7
00:00:26,570 --> 00:00:30,949
And we're building on that pioneering
sprit in science and technology so that we

8
00:00:30,949 --> 00:00:37,040
make the world a better place, so we
create jobs right here on earth.

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,060
Everything we do is unique

10
00:00:40,060 --> 00:00:43,520
When you explore space, you not only learn
about what's out there, but what's

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,810
down here and why it's the way it is.

12
00:00:45,810 --> 00:00:49,270
We have the best engineers and scientists
in the world and today...

13
00:00:49,270 --> 00:00:53,000
right now...
they are developing the technologies for our

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,150
next great achievements in space.

15
00:00:55,150 --> 00:00:58,730
We're building something that can go lunar,
something that can go to an asteroid,

16
00:00:58,730 --> 00:01:04,400
we can go to Mars with this, this is the next
step we've been looking for since the

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,400
Apollo era.

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,480
With Orion and our heavy-lift Space Launch
System... we're going to send

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,720
humans into space farther than they've ever
gone before.

20
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,461
This years Orion's test flight will be the
most aggressive human spacecraft flight

21
00:01:17,461 --> 00:01:18,960
in more than forty years!

22
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:23,850
Apollo happened before I was born so this,
for our generation, will be the

23
00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:26,580
exploration missions that we get to see in
our lifetime.

24
00:01:26,580 --> 00:01:30,810
As the NASA Administrator, I feel like a new
father, because as a result of

25
00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:35,020
NASA's efforts, we now have an American capability
to get our cargo to the

26
00:01:35,020 --> 00:01:38,270
International Space Station through Orbital
Sciences and Space X.

27
00:01:38,270 --> 00:01:41,133
And, in just a
few years, we're expecting that we will have

28
00:01:41,133 --> 00:01:44,950
that same capability to get our own
astronauts to space from American soil, where

29
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:47,840
we ought to be launching.

30
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,159
That's going to be an amazing day.

31
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:53,760
When that finally happens, that a private
company gets to go do this, its just going

32
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:54,760
to be amazing.

33
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,670
We are going to have our own safe and reliable
American vehicle.

34
00:01:59,670 --> 00:02:02,940
Well the crews right now on International
Space Station are using this wonderful

35
00:02:02,940 --> 00:02:07,420
outpost to help us get further and further
into space, to asteroids, to Mars

36
00:02:07,420 --> 00:02:11,240
eventually, I think the science on station
is making incredible breakthroughs that

37
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,610
are going to help us make life better for
people right here on Earth.

38
00:02:14,610 --> 00:02:18,720
We and our other international partner crewmates
are working off the planet for

39
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,250
the planet.

40
00:02:20,250 --> 00:02:25,209
NASA, along with our international partners,
conduct scientific research everyday

41
00:02:25,209 --> 00:02:26,530
here on the station.

42
00:02:26,530 --> 00:02:29,840
We use this orbiting laboratory as a stepping-stone
for future

43
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,310
deep space exploration.

44
00:02:32,310 --> 00:02:36,560
Certainly we have an opportunity I think in
the space station program to be able

45
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,960
to show something that's real, it's on orbit,
and it's something that's there today.

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,970
It's built for science, it's ready to go and
now we are going to use it to it's full

47
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:44,970
extent.

48
00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:47,790
Se we want to bring on new researchers, bring
on new educational

49
00:02:47,790 --> 00:02:52,319
opportunities, bring on new commercial opportunities
and make this thing fully

50
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:54,991
usable so that we bring good results back
to Earth.

51
00:02:54,991 --> 00:02:58,870
Through our investment in space technology
R&D and our partnerships with

52
00:02:58,870 --> 00:03:04,050
private industries and our constant efforts
to out-innovate the world, our scientists

53
00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:08,160
are innovating new chapters in space exploration.

54
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:13,620
We're exploring new destinations, identifying
and studying asteroids, all on our

55
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:15,410
pathway to Mars.

56
00:03:15,410 --> 00:03:19,940
We need make sure that the science is behind
is behind all those big lofty

57
00:03:19,940 --> 00:03:20,940
missions.

58
00:03:20,940 --> 00:03:25,410
Can we really, truly, jump on an asteroid
and redirect it out of Earth's path so that

59
00:03:25,410 --> 00:03:28,560
it does not hit Earth and have a catastrophe
or things of that nature?

60
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,330
I mean
what better benefit to mankind?

61
00:03:30,330 --> 00:03:36,260
And to do that, we need to test and develop
next generation technologies.

62
00:03:36,260 --> 00:03:40,110
Through advanced aerospace technologies, used
in everything from modern

63
00:03:40,110 --> 00:03:44,300
aircraft to suborbital rockets and the commercial
vehicles servicing low Earth

64
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:49,610
orbit today, we're building the machines to
take us further into the high frontier.

65
00:03:49,610 --> 00:03:55,459
When you say "Think out of the box," well,
looking at other planets is thinking out

66
00:03:55,459 --> 00:03:57,740
of our planetary box."

67
00:03:57,740 --> 00:04:01,599
We are using these technologies to answer
some of the critical questions facing

68
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:04,769
Earth right now... and in the future.

69
00:04:04,769 --> 00:04:09,460
We need to know more about climate change,
natural events, and the forces that

70
00:04:09,460 --> 00:04:11,850
affect us every single day.

71
00:04:11,850 --> 00:04:15,420
This mission (GPM), will provide the best
global data set of precipitation that we

72
00:04:15,420 --> 00:04:19,870
have ever had and that's really important
for everybody from understanding drought in

73
00:04:19,870 --> 00:04:23,050
the Southwest to the monsoon
patterns in Asia.

74
00:04:23,050 --> 00:04:27,439
These are big questions about our Earth and
about our climate and if we want to

75
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:30,999
be able to make sure the Earth is still a
healthy place for people to live in fifty

76
00:04:30,999 --> 00:04:34,990
years we need to understand these things so
it's important from that sense.

77
00:04:34,990 --> 00:04:39,009
We want to understand global processes, that's
why we use satellite images

78
00:04:39,009 --> 00:04:44,930
because we have a large view of our Earth,
areas that are very remote - that we

79
00:04:44,930 --> 00:04:50,249
can't get to very easily, and we can observe
these areas continuously.

80
00:04:50,249 --> 00:04:52,050
Exploring the universe is what we do.

81
00:04:52,050 --> 00:04:56,629
We are committed to answering those
fundamental questions about the cosmos...

82
00:04:56,629 --> 00:05:01,699
its origins and how it works... and if
there is life out there somewhere.

83
00:05:01,699 --> 00:05:05,379
I think some of the most amazing things that
we are learning is actually how to be

84
00:05:05,379 --> 00:05:09,529
really good detectives on another planet which
is a really difficult job.

85
00:05:09,529 --> 00:05:12,659
Europa is one of the few places in the solar
system where we know liquid water

86
00:05:12,659 --> 00:05:17,050
exists, it exists under an ice shell and there
is an exciting possibility that life

87
00:05:17,050 --> 00:05:18,710
exists under that ice shell.

88
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:21,120
NASA is here to raise the bar for human achievement.

89
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,580
I like to think that exploration is encompassing
and inclusive, it encourages

90
00:05:26,580 --> 00:05:31,300
everybody to expand and reach and in doing
that, more people realize they can

91
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:32,300
expand and reach.

92
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:40,189
I don't even know if the scientists who had
the vision to create JWST understand

93
00:05:40,189 --> 00:05:43,550
what we are going to get as far as the data—it's
probably going to be

94
00:05:43,550 --> 00:05:44,550
spectacular.

95
00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:48,110
MMS is studying the very trigger of Space
Weather, which is where magnetic

96
00:05:48,110 --> 00:05:49,680
field lines come together.

97
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,159
Hundreds of years ago we may not have cared
so

98
00:05:52,159 --> 00:05:55,800
much that space weather was happening all
around us with phenomena such as

99
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,400
the solar wind happening, but we do today.

100
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,470
NASA is everywhere...

101
00:06:00,470 --> 00:06:04,569
on every airplane... we are with you when
you fly.

102
00:06:04,569 --> 00:06:08,080
Constantly monitoring the health of our home
planet, the Earth is changing and

103
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,669
we're ON it.

104
00:06:09,669 --> 00:06:14,330
Permanently working and living in space, reaping
benefits for all of us here on

105
00:06:14,330 --> 00:06:15,889
Earth.

106
00:06:15,889 --> 00:06:19,110
Speeding across the solar system, in search
of new discoveries.

107
00:06:19,110 --> 00:06:20,250
(Voyager Sound)

108
00:06:20,250 --> 00:06:23,669
Breaking the boundaries of interstellar space.

109
00:06:23,669 --> 00:06:27,990
Looking into our past with NASA's great observatories.

110
00:06:27,990 --> 00:06:30,960
Investing and creating those game-changing
technologies.

111
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,379
And we're doing it all to help secure our
future.

112
00:06:34,379 --> 00:06:39,800
We are a community dedicated to research and
discovery in service to society.

113
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,599
We have a responsibility to the future generations
of engineers, the future

114
00:06:43,599 --> 00:06:48,469
generations of engineers, scientists, technologists,
explorers, that's our
