1 00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:11,820 we explore to gain knowledge to push the 2 00:00:17,370 --> 00:00:14,260 boundaries of possibility and to reveal 3 00:00:20,910 --> 00:00:17,380 the unknown we seek to discover to find 4 00:00:22,890 --> 00:00:20,920 answers here on earth and in space was 5 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:22,900 Mars once an earth-like planet with 6 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:25,810 water and an atmosphere what happened 7 00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:28,570 can the same thing happen here on earth 8 00:00:33,509 --> 00:00:31,449 what about asteroids is there something 9 00:00:35,819 --> 00:00:33,519 we can do to prevent a big one from 10 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:35,829 colliding with earth we can go to Mars 11 00:00:39,660 --> 00:00:37,690 in our lifetime and answer some of 12 00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:39,670 humanity's fundamental questions about 13 00:00:44,639 --> 00:00:42,879 life beyond Earth robots are doing great 14 00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:44,649 work exploring our solar system but 15 00:00:56,759 --> 00:00:46,809 eventually we want to be able to put a 16 00:00:58,769 --> 00:00:56,769 person on the ground now sending people 17 00:01:02,609 --> 00:00:58,779 to deep space destinations requires a 18 00:01:05,490 --> 00:01:02,619 lot of stuff food and water shelter fuel 19 00:01:08,940 --> 00:01:05,500 spare parts tools and supplies it's like 20 00:01:11,039 --> 00:01:08,950 a spacefaring RV the farther you go and 21 00:01:14,730 --> 00:01:11,049 the longer the trip the more you need 22 00:01:16,139 --> 00:01:14,740 and that means moving a lot of math so 23 00:01:17,849 --> 00:01:16,149 when you talk about getting past the 24 00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:17,859 pull of Earth's gravity you need a 25 00:01:32,590 --> 00:01:30,700 a Space Launch System is an all new 26 00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:32,600 heavy-lift rocket that uses a 27 00:01:38,620 --> 00:01:34,369 combination of proven hardware and 28 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:38,630 technology to make it more affordable we 29 00:01:42,670 --> 00:01:40,490 could take the best all we've learned 30 00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:42,680 from building rockets and combine that 31 00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:44,000 with cutting-edge tooling and 32 00:01:51,220 --> 00:01:46,310 manufacturing technology to build the 33 00:01:55,220 --> 00:01:53,840 you can fly to really high orbit around 34 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:55,230 the moon with this rocket without 35 00:01:59,720 --> 00:01:57,810 requiring any other assistance but when 36 00:02:03,870 --> 00:01:59,730 we add an upper stage we'll have an even 37 00:02:08,609 --> 00:02:06,390 the larger evolved version of SLS can 38 00:02:10,980 --> 00:02:08,619 carry a habitat larger solar arrays 39 00:02:25,860 --> 00:02:10,990 additional propulsion you name it this 40 00:02:31,770 --> 00:02:28,330 to get the astronauts beyond low Earth 41 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:31,780 orbit we need a new crew vehicle Orion 42 00:02:37,450 --> 00:02:34,370 the Orion's spacecraft is a conical 43 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:37,460 shape like Apollo was but it's actually 44 00:02:41,020 --> 00:02:39,530 larger than Apollo and is capable of 45 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:41,030 taking people farther into space than 46 00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:44,810 ever before it can protect a crew of 47 00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:47,360 four for up to 21 days and carry food 48 00:02:53,470 --> 00:02:50,510 air water supplies all the things the 49 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:53,480 crew will need a Ryan is the most 50 00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:55,250 advanced and versatile spacecraft ever 51 00:03:00,700 --> 00:02:57,680 made it uses state-of-the-art technology 52 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:00,710 materials and design processes based on 53 00:03:07,570 --> 00:03:02,570 more than 50 years of research and 54 00:03:09,250 --> 00:03:07,580 technology development the first crewed 55 00:03:11,470 --> 00:03:09,260 flight of Orion and the Space Launch 56 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:11,480 System will be a flight around the moon 57 00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:14,570 during exploration mission to a crew of 58 00:03:18,940 --> 00:03:16,910 astronauts will launch on SLS fly 59 00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:18,950 several orbits around the earth then 60 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:20,720 perform a translunar injection which 61 00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:22,130 will send them on a path from Earth 62 00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:31,610 once the crew gets near the moon Orion 63 00:03:34,580 --> 00:03:33,510 will pass within 60 miles of the surface 64 00:03:36,620 --> 00:03:34,590 and from there 65 00:03:50,229 --> 00:03:36,630 Orion can insert into a high lunar orbit 66 00:03:53,839 --> 00:03:52,640 the tools the knowledge and the 67 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:53,849 experience that we have at our disposal 68 00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:56,370 today come from nearly 50 years of space 69 00:04:02,809 --> 00:03:58,650 exploration and ultimately benefit lives 70 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:02,819 here on earth who knows what will come 71 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:04,170 out of the scientific knowledge 72 00:04:09,339 --> 00:04:06,810 discovery and economic opportunities 73 00:04:11,870 --> 00:04:09,349 that result from deep-space exploration 74 00:04:14,540 --> 00:04:11,880 we just hit the tip of the iceberg in 75 00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:14,550 terms of human exploration now we need 76 00:04:19,370 --> 00:04:17,040 to explore deep space to me that's the 77 00:04:22,850 --> 00:04:19,380 goal to expand humanity's presence 78 00:04:25,370 --> 00:04:22,860 beyond the earth explore beyond has a 79 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:25,380 deeper purpose and it is a bolder 80 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:27,210 mission than anything we've ever done 81 00:04:31,940 --> 00:04:30,090 before I believe that people still look 82 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:31,950 to NASA and the United States for 83 00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:34,530 leadership in space it takes courage and 84 00:04:39,710 --> 00:04:37,500 resolve and commitment and when we leave 85 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:39,720 Earth to explore our solar system it 86 00:04:43,940 --> 00:04:41,490 will not be as any one nation or culture
