00:00:00,450 --> 00:00:01,450
Hi, I’m Tom!

2
00:00:01,450 --> 00:00:02,450
And I’m Kasha!

3
00:00:02,450 --> 00:00:03,700
And we work at NASA!

4
00:00:03,700 --> 00:00:06,859
Today, we’re going to talk about outer space!

5
00:00:06,859 --> 00:00:09,611
That’s not what we’re talking about.

6
00:00:09,611 --> 00:00:10,611
Cut!

7
00:00:10,611 --> 00:00:11,611
[clap]
We’re going to talk about rockets!

8
00:00:11,611 --> 00:00:13,540
No, not today.

9
00:00:13,540 --> 00:00:14,540
Cut!

10
00:00:14,540 --> 00:00:15,540
[clap]

11
00:00:15,540 --> 00:00:17,250
The International Space Station!!

12
00:00:17,250 --> 00:00:19,010
[clap]
Teleportation.

13
00:00:19,010 --> 00:00:22,530
That’s not a thing we do
Wait, what?

14
00:00:22,530 --> 00:00:23,530
[clap]

15
00:00:23,530 --> 00:00:25,350
So, What are we talking about?

16
00:00:25,350 --> 00:00:26,560
Earth
[Music]

17
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,960
Yep, that was my next guess.

18
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,550
Earth science, field campaigns.

19
00:00:30,550 --> 00:00:31,550
Like real people.

20
00:00:31,550 --> 00:00:32,720
Doing real science.

21
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,870
By plane, ship, or maybe even by dog sled.

22
00:00:35,870 --> 00:00:43,190
Scientist head out into the field of study
how and why our ever-changing planet is…ever-changing?

23
00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:44,590
Precisely.

24
00:00:44,590 --> 00:00:49,340
Earth Expeditions is the newest Earth Science
campaign from NASA, studying our planet/ right

25
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:51,320
now/ at close range.

26
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:58,880
Welcome to NASA’s Earth Expeditions.

27
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:04,949
[music]

28
00:01:04,949 --> 00:01:14,829
We’re highlighting amazing science from
around our planet, all over the World Wide

29
00:01:14,829 --> 00:01:15,829
Web.

30
00:01:15,829 --> 00:01:19,619
You’ll be able to keep up @NASAEarth, NASA
Television and nasa.gov, on just about anything

31
00:01:19,619 --> 00:01:22,020
with the word NASA on it.

32
00:01:22,020 --> 00:01:26,460
So understand NASA explores the earth as well
as outer space; and what a lot of people don’t

33
00:01:26,460 --> 00:01:28,880
realize is there are a lot of thing to learn
about our home planet.

34
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,880
When I want to find out information about
our changing climate, it’s pretty easy to

35
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:40,229
whip out my phone and go to nasa.gov/earth
for the latest information but how does that

36
00:01:40,229 --> 00:01:41,619
info get there?

37
00:01:41,619 --> 00:01:44,689
Is that guy out there with a laptop and a
thermometer I requested?

38
00:01:44,689 --> 00:01:47,260
[wind howls]
What a silly assumption….

39
00:01:47,260 --> 00:01:49,599
doesn’t have to be a guy, could be a girl.

40
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:50,599
[wind howl]

41
00:01:50,599 --> 00:01:55,840
Good point but check this out:
To better understand the Earth, NASA uses

42
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,819
satellites, historical data and fieldwork.

43
00:01:58,819 --> 00:02:01,469
Earth Expeditions covers that fieldwork.

44
00:02:01,469 --> 00:02:06,819
The view from space gives us a global picture,
but we go closer to the ground to get a granular

45
00:02:06,819 --> 00:02:09,220
view of what’s going on.

46
00:02:09,220 --> 00:02:12,430
We call these closer looks “Field Campaigns”.

47
00:02:12,430 --> 00:02:17,450
To really get into the nitty-gritty of what’s
happening with our home planet, we have to

48
00:02:17,450 --> 00:02:21,569
get on the ground, in the air or on the water.

49
00:02:21,569 --> 00:02:28,430
These are often intense moments of study over
dramatic landscapes and in inhospitable conditions.

50
00:02:28,430 --> 00:02:31,930
Often our teams in the field are using new,
one of a kind instruments to find out how

51
00:02:31,930 --> 00:02:34,180
our planet is changing.

52
00:02:34,180 --> 00:02:38,569
NASA has a long history of field campaigns,
from the arctic, to deserts, from the cities

53
00:02:38,569 --> 00:02:42,230
to under the sea we’re getting the data
that is revealing the secrets about our changing

54
00:02:42,230 --> 00:02:43,230
planet.

55
00:02:43,230 --> 00:02:44,230
Cool.

56
00:02:44,230 --> 00:02:46,670
Now my phone’s new screen saver is my favorite
planet.

57
00:02:46,670 --> 00:02:49,269
and that’s the goal, screensavers and vine
videos.

58
00:02:49,269 --> 00:02:54,769
I mean the science is huge, and THIS IS A
BIG YEAR for field campaigns at NASA.

59
00:02:54,769 --> 00:02:59,090
We are going out all over the world, from
coral reefs in the South Pacific to the melting

60
00:02:59,090 --> 00:03:02,870
edges of the Greenland ice sheet and we will
be taking you with us!

61
00:03:02,870 --> 00:03:07,730
Keep up with us by searching for #EarthExpedition
all over social media and we’ll keep you
