intentions for our future in space

14
00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:47,039

from the beginning the space program has

29
00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:17,680
been a partnership between industry and

30
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:19,040
government

31
00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:20,880

private public partnerships are the

36
00:01:34,149 --> 00:01:31,040
foundation of how america solves complex

37
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:34,159
problems and accomplishes great things

38
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:36,000

in the history of man's quest for

159
00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:29,520
knowledge and adventure they remind us

160
00:06:32,469 --> 00:06:31,360
of the giants on whose shoulders we all

161
00:06:34,150 --> 00:06:32,479
stand

162
00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:34,160

164
00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:37,440
to dream bigger work harder and push

165
00:06:41,189 --> 00:06:39,600
farther in our own day

166

today in the shadow of this history we

167
00:06:43,590 --> 00:06:42,639
pledge to do what america has always

168
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:43,600
done

169
00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:45,120

170
00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:47,680

171
00:06:52,469 --> 00:06:49,440
that great frontier

172
00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:52,479
and we will once again astonish the

173
00:07:03,350 --> 00:06:56,400
world as we boldly go to meet our future

174
00:07:06,550 --> 00:07:04,870
now

175
00:07:07,830 --> 00:07:06,560
it's all together fitting that we chose

176
00:07:09,510 --> 00:07:07,840
this week for the first meeting of the

177
00:07:12,629 --> 00:07:09,520
national space council

178
00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:12,639
yesterday marked the 60th anniversary

179
00:07:16,629 --> 00:07:14,080
of sputnik

180
00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:16,639
that 184 pound satellite that changed

181
00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:18,880
the course of history

182
00:07:23,990 --> 00:07:21,360
on that day six decades ago yesterday

183
00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:24,000
the race for space began

184
00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:26,880
and the then soviet union took an early

185
00:07:29,670 --> 00:07:28,160
lead

186
00:07:31,909 --> 00:07:29,680
but the sight of that light blinking

187
00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:31,919
across the that october sky spurred

188
00:07:35,749 --> 00:07:34,160
america to action we refused to accept a

189
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:35,759
future in space

190
00:07:39,029 --> 00:07:37,280
written by the enemies of freedom and so

191
00:07:40,469 --> 00:07:39,039
the united states of america vowed to

192
00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:40,479
claim our rightful place as the

193
00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:43,199
undisputed leader in the exploration of

194
00:07:50,629 --> 00:07:46,160
the heavens and 12 years later

195
00:07:59,589 --> 00:07:50,639
with one giant leap for mankind america

196
00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:02,230
but more than half a century later

197
00:08:05,589 --> 00:08:03,840
we've seeded ground

198
00:08:07,189 --> 00:08:05,599
and so we gather here today to renew

199
00:08:08,469 --> 00:08:07,199
this same mission

200
00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:08,479
in our time

201
00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:10,400
by reviving the national space council

202
00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:12,240
president donald trump has declared to

203
00:08:23,029 --> 00:08:15,280
all of the world america will lead in

204
00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:24,710
for my part as i said it's an honor to

205
00:08:28,869 --> 00:08:26,720
chair this council i i caught space

206
00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:28,879
fever when i was a kid back in a small

207
00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:30,720
town in southern indiana

208
00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:32,159
some of the most precious memories of my

209
00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:33,360
youth were

210
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:35,039
my little family gathered around a black

211
00:08:38,630 --> 00:08:36,880
and white television watching images of

212
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:38,640
american heroes making history in the

213
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:39,760
stars

214
00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:41,440
as a member of congress

215
00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:43,120
i actually asked to serve on the nasa

216
00:08:46,310 --> 00:08:44,959
subcommittee in my very first year in

217
00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:46,320
the congress i had the privilege along

218
00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:48,800
with my wife and all of our children to

219
00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:51,680
attend several space shuttle launches as

220
00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:52,959
a family

221
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:55,040
i actually have no doubt that as i told

222
00:08:59,350 --> 00:08:57,839
the general this morning a fellow marine

223
00:09:00,949 --> 00:08:59,360
with my son that

224
00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:00,959
i think my son was inspired to be a

225
00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:02,640
marine corps aviator when he was a

226
00:09:06,389 --> 00:09:04,080
ten-year-old boy sat in those

227
00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:06,399
grandstands and watched with awe

228
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:09,040
as america's astronauts hurtled into the

229
00:09:12,070 --> 00:09:10,160
heavens

230
00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:12,080
now i said at the time that the sights

231
00:09:16,150 --> 00:09:13,760
and sounds of the launch at cape

232
00:09:17,350 --> 00:09:16,160
canaveral were miraculous it was almost

233
00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:17,360
as though the

234
00:09:21,190 --> 00:09:20,160
as the flames came from beneath the ship

235
00:09:24,389 --> 00:09:21,200
it was

236
00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:24,399
birth to a piece of the sun and sending

237
00:09:28,070 --> 00:09:26,080
it home the power

238
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:28,080
and the symbolism of unquestioned

239
00:09:31,509 --> 00:09:30,480
american leadership was inspiring to us

240
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:31,519
all

241
00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:34,000
but in recent years the clarity of our

242
00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:35,519
purpose and the confidence of our

243
00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:37,040
conviction that propelled the united

244
00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:38,720
states to be a vanguard of space

245
00:09:41,750 --> 00:09:40,160
exploration

246
00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:41,760
seems to have waned

247
00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:43,920
america seems to have lost our edge in

248
00:09:47,870 --> 00:09:45,120
space

249
00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:47,880
and those days are over

250
00:09:58,470 --> 00:09:56,389
because the american people never lost

251
00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:58,480
our passion to explore space and uncover

252
00:10:02,310 --> 00:10:00,320
its secrets this summer i visited the

253
00:10:04,230 --> 00:10:02,320
kennedy space center at cape canaveral

254
00:10:05,990 --> 00:10:04,240
the johnson space center in houston

255
00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:06,000
where i met with men and women of nasa

256
00:10:09,750 --> 00:10:08,000
including as the general said the newest

257
00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:09,760
class of astronauts

258
00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:12,240
they still embody as generations did

259
00:10:15,430 --> 00:10:14,000
before they embody the courage and

260
00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:15,440
excellence that's long inspired the

261
00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:17,440
american people but for too long our

262
00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:18,800
government's commitment has failed to

263
00:10:22,230 --> 00:10:20,880
match our people's spirit and meet our

264
00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:22,240
nation's needs

265
00:10:25,430 --> 00:10:24,160
the truth is that america entered this

266
00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:25,440
new millennium

267
00:10:30,069 --> 00:10:28,160
without a coherent policy a coherent

268
00:10:31,269 --> 00:10:30,079
vision for outer space

269
00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:31,279
and in the absence of american

270
00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:32,880
leadership other nations have seized the

271
00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:34,560
opportunity to stake their claim in the

272
00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:36,480
infinite frontier

273
00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:38,720
rather than lead in space too often

274
00:10:44,230 --> 00:10:41,200
we've chosen to drift

275
00:10:45,509 --> 00:10:44,240
and as we learned 60 years ago

276
00:10:47,269 --> 00:10:45,519
when we drift

277
00:10:48,710 --> 00:10:47,279
we fall behind

278
00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:48,720
our struggle to define the direction and

279
00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:50,560
purpose of america's space program dates

280
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:53,440
back decades to the post-apollo period

281
00:10:56,710 --> 00:10:55,040
we had just won the race to the moon and

282
00:10:58,870 --> 00:10:56,720
suddenly the question became what should

283
00:11:01,269 --> 00:10:58,880
we do where should we go

284
00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:01,279
next in the debate that followed sending

285
00:11:05,350 --> 00:11:03,120
americans to the moon was treated as a

286
00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:05,360
triumph to be remembered but not

287
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:06,560
repeated

288
00:11:10,150 --> 00:11:08,000
every passing year that the moon

289
00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:10,160
remained squarely in the rearview mirror

290
00:11:13,670 --> 00:11:12,000
further eroded our ability to return to

291
00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:13,680
the lunar domain and made it more likely

292
00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:15,600
that we would forget why we

293
00:11:19,350 --> 00:11:17,760
ever wanted to go in the first place

294
00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:19,360
and now we find ourselves in a position

295
00:11:23,269 --> 00:11:21,440
where the united states has not sent an

296
00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:23,279
american astronaut

297
00:11:28,069 --> 00:11:25,519
beyond low earth orbit

298
00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:28,079
in 45 years

299
00:11:32,630 --> 00:11:29,920
across the board our space program has

300
00:11:34,230 --> 00:11:32,640
suffered from apathy and neglect

301
00:11:37,190 --> 00:11:34,240
when the space shuttle program ended in

302
00:11:38,949 --> 00:11:37,200
2011 we had four years to find an

303
00:11:41,110 --> 00:11:38,959
assured way for our astronauts to get

304
00:11:43,590 --> 00:11:41,120
into space in the meantime

305
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:43,600
we agreed to pay russia to hitch a ride

306
00:11:46,310 --> 00:11:45,040
on their rockets to the international

307
00:11:48,470 --> 00:11:46,320
space station

308
00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:48,480
but four years turned into five

309
00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:50,320
and five years turned into six and here

310
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:51,200
we are

311
00:11:56,230 --> 00:11:54,959
in 2017 still relying on the russians to

312
00:11:58,310 --> 00:11:56,240
ferry our astronauts to the

313
00:12:01,030 --> 00:11:58,320
international space station at a cost

314
00:12:01,990 --> 00:12:01,040
per seat that now stands at more than 76

315
00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:02,000
million

316
00:12:04,949 --> 00:12:03,360
dollars

317
00:12:06,470 --> 00:12:04,959
meanwhile rather than competing with

318
00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:06,480
other nations to agree the best space

319
00:12:10,150 --> 00:12:08,320
technology the previous administration

320
00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:10,160
chose capitulation

321
00:12:13,509 --> 00:12:11,519
according to the u.s intelligence

322
00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:13,519
community russia and china are pursuing

323
00:12:17,509 --> 00:12:15,120
a full range of anti-satellite

324
00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:17,519
technology to reduce u.s military

325
00:12:21,509 --> 00:12:19,200
effectiveness and they're increasingly

326
00:12:23,269 --> 00:12:21,519
considering attacks against satellite

327
00:12:24,949 --> 00:12:23,279
systems as part of their future warfare

328
00:12:26,629 --> 00:12:24,959
doctrine

329
00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:26,639
america's abdication of leadership in

330
00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:29,279
space has spurred our nation to action

331
00:12:34,069 --> 00:12:30,560
once more

332
00:12:36,710 --> 00:12:34,079
and just as with sputnik six decades ago

333
00:12:39,430 --> 00:12:36,720
we have resolved with the leadership of

334
00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:39,440
president donald trump to never again

335
00:12:43,580 --> 00:12:43,040
let america fall behind in the race for

336
00:12:48,949 --> 00:12:43,590
space

337
00:12:52,790 --> 00:12:51,269
that's what brings us here today

338
00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:52,800
and under the president's leadership we

339
00:12:56,870 --> 00:12:54,720
will restore our proud legacy

340
00:12:59,990 --> 00:12:56,880
of leadership on this next great

341
00:13:01,750 --> 00:13:00,000
frontier and america will lead again

342
00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:01,760
twice before america's had a national

343
00:13:04,949 --> 00:13:03,440
space council charged with advising the

344
00:13:06,550 --> 00:13:04,959
president on national policy and

345
00:13:08,230 --> 00:13:06,560
strategy for space

346
00:13:10,389 --> 00:13:08,240
the first space council helped marshall

347
00:13:12,629 --> 00:13:10,399
america's energies and skills during the

348
00:13:14,629 --> 00:13:12,639
infancy of our attempts to reach the

349
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:14,639
stars and it was under the council's

350
00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:16,639
watch that america put a man in outer

351
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:18,240
space but a man on the moon with less

352
00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:20,880
than a decade between them now president

353
00:13:25,350 --> 00:13:23,360
trump has charged this national space

354
00:13:27,590 --> 00:13:25,360
council with reviewing america's current

355
00:13:29,430 --> 00:13:27,600
policy and our long-range goals in

356
00:13:31,829 --> 00:13:29,440
coordinating all national space

357
00:13:33,190 --> 00:13:31,839
activities from security to commerce to

358
00:13:34,870 --> 00:13:33,200
exploration

359
00:13:37,509 --> 00:13:34,880
today more than ever before our nation's

360
00:13:39,110 --> 00:13:37,519
prosperity security and identity depend

361
00:13:41,110 --> 00:13:39,120
on american leadership in space and the

362
00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:41,120
membership of this council

363
00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:43,440
all members of our cabinet critical

364
00:13:47,350 --> 00:13:44,959
members of our national security

365
00:13:49,430 --> 00:13:47,360
infrastructure reflect the multi-faceted

366
00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:49,440
nature of our work

367
00:13:52,389 --> 00:13:51,120
joining me here today as members of this

368
00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:52,399
council are several members of the

369

372
00:14:03,030 --> 00:14:01,440
and technology would you please give

373
00:14:04,550 --> 00:14:03,040
them another round of applause for

374
00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:04,560
making

375
00:14:10,270 --> 00:14:05,680
this

376
00:14:15,110 --> 00:14:13,670
[Applause]

377
00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:15,120
but to fully unlock the mysteries of

378
00:14:19,269 --> 00:14:17,040
space president trump recognizes we must

379
00:14:20,949 --> 00:14:19,279
look beyond the halls of government and

380
00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:20,959
for input and guidance at the

381
00:14:23,910 --> 00:14:22,480
president's direction the national space

382
00:14:26,230 --> 00:14:23,920
council will also

383
00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:26,240
in his words draw from the expertise and

384
00:14:30,550 --> 00:14:28,160
insights from scientists innovators and

385
00:14:32,790 --> 00:14:30,560
business leaders like never before we

386
00:14:35,590 --> 00:14:32,800
will tap into the bottomless well of

387
00:14:37,030 --> 00:14:35,600
american innovation once again

388
00:14:38,550 --> 00:14:37,040
american companies are on the cutting

389
00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:38,560
edge of space technology and they're

390
00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:40,399
developing new rockets spaceships and

391
00:14:44,389 --> 00:14:41,920
satellites that will take us further

392
00:14:45,990 --> 00:14:44,399
into space faster than ever before like

393
00:14:47,829 --> 00:14:46,000
the railroads that brought american

394
00:14:49,509 --> 00:14:47,839
explorers entrepreneurs and settlers to

395
00:14:51,110 --> 00:14:49,519
tame the wild west these groundbreaking

396
00:14:53,030 --> 00:14:51,120
new technologies will

397
00:14:54,949 --> 00:14:53,040
open untold opportunities to extend the

398
00:14:56,949 --> 00:14:54,959
range of american action and values into

399
00:14:59,350 --> 00:14:56,959
the new worlds of outer space and by

400
00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:59,360
fostering much stronger partnerships

401
00:15:02,790 --> 00:15:00,720
between the federal government and the

402
00:15:05,110 --> 00:15:02,800
realm of industry and bringing the full

403
00:15:06,710 --> 00:15:05,120
force of our national interest of air

404
00:15:07,829 --> 00:15:06,720
american leadership in space will be

405
00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:07,839
assured

406
00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:09,440
the objectives of the national space

407
00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:10,880
council are clear

408
00:15:15,269 --> 00:15:12,880
the president has charged us with laying

409
00:15:17,269 --> 00:15:15,279
the foundation for america to maintain a

410
00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:17,279
constant commercial human presence in

411
00:15:21,030 --> 00:15:19,279
low earth orbit from there

412
00:15:22,710 --> 00:15:21,040
we will turn our attention back toward

413
00:15:25,910 --> 00:15:22,720
our celestial neighbors

414
00:15:28,310 --> 00:15:25,920
we will return american astronauts to

415
00:15:30,470 --> 00:15:28,320
the moon not only to leave behind

416
00:15:33,670 --> 00:15:30,480
footprints and flags but to build the

417
00:15:44,949 --> 00:15:33,680
foundation we need to send americans to

418
00:15:48,069 --> 00:15:46,470
the moon will be a stepping stone a

419
00:15:49,269 --> 00:15:48,079
training ground a venue to strengthen

420
00:15:51,189 --> 00:15:49,279
our commercial and international

421
00:15:54,069 --> 00:15:51,199
partnerships as we refocus america's

422
00:15:55,269 --> 00:15:54,079
space program toward human space

423
00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:55,279
exploration

424
00:15:58,710 --> 00:15:56,800
and under president trump this council

425
00:16:01,030 --> 00:15:58,720
will spur the development of space

426
00:16:02,790 --> 00:16:01,040
technology to protect america's national

427
00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:02,800
security

428
00:16:08,870 --> 00:16:07,040
i saw firsthand when i visited schriever

429
00:16:10,550 --> 00:16:08,880
air force base and the redstone arsenal

430
00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:10,560
earlier this year

431
00:16:14,069 --> 00:16:11,920
as i said our adversaries are

432
00:16:15,910 --> 00:16:14,079
aggressively developing jamming

433
00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:15,920
hacking and other technologies intended

434
00:16:19,829 --> 00:16:17,360
to military surveillance

435
00:16:21,430 --> 00:16:19,839
navigation communication systems

436
00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:21,440
in the face of these actions america

437
00:16:25,670 --> 00:16:24,000
must be as dominant in space as we are

438
00:16:27,350 --> 00:16:25,680
here on earth

439
00:16:28,870 --> 00:16:27,360
my friends the task that lies before us

440
00:16:31,350 --> 00:16:28,880
will require the highest level of

441
00:16:33,030 --> 00:16:31,360
commitment and dedication

442
00:16:34,470 --> 00:16:33,040
now the work before us

443
00:16:36,310 --> 00:16:34,480
will be difficult

444
00:16:37,990 --> 00:16:36,320
but difficulty always brings out

445
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:38,000
america's best

446
00:16:44,310 --> 00:16:42,720
by anyone anytime

447
00:16:46,069 --> 00:16:44,320
we won the race to the moon a half a

448
00:16:48,949 --> 00:16:46,079
century ago

449
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:48,959
and now we will win the 21st century in

450
00:16:55,189 --> 00:16:50,490
space

451
00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:55,199
[Applause]

452
00:16:58,389 --> 00:16:56,720
under president trump's leadership and

453
00:16:59,910 --> 00:16:58,399
with the guidance of this national space

454
00:17:02,870 --> 00:16:59,920
council the united states will usher in

455
00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:02,880
a new era of space leadership for our

456
00:17:06,630 --> 00:17:05,199
nation that will benefit every facet of

457
00:17:08,630 --> 00:17:06,640
our national life will strengthen our

458
00:17:10,789 --> 00:17:08,640
economy as we unlock new opportunities

459
00:17:13,110 --> 00:17:10,799
new technologies and new sources of

460
00:17:15,110 --> 00:17:13,120
prosperity we'll inspire our children to

461
00:17:16,549 --> 00:17:15,120
seek education in science technology

462
00:17:18,390 --> 00:17:16,559
engineering and math

463
00:17:20,309 --> 00:17:18,400
we'll enhance our defense

464
00:17:21,909 --> 00:17:20,319
and advance the security of our citizens

465
00:17:23,990 --> 00:17:21,919
but most of all

466
00:17:26,630 --> 00:17:24,000
as the president believes

467
00:17:28,230 --> 00:17:26,640
we will renew the american spirit itself

468
00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:28,240
and rekindle our belief that america can

469
00:17:32,789 --> 00:17:30,559
accomplish anything

470
00:17:35,590 --> 00:17:32,799
as president trump has said

471
00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:35,600
in his words it is america's destiny

472
00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:38,080
to be the leader amongst nations on our

473
00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:40,480
adventure into the great unknown

474
00:17:44,950 --> 00:17:43,440
and today we begin that latest chapter

475
00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:44,960
of that adventure

476
00:17:50,470 --> 00:17:48,000
but as we embark let us have faith

477
00:17:52,390 --> 00:17:50,480
faith as the old book teaches us that if

478
00:17:53,830 --> 00:17:52,400
we rise to the heavens

479
00:17:55,750 --> 00:17:53,840
he will be there

480
00:17:57,909 --> 00:17:55,760
and as we make plans and we prepare

481
00:18:00,470 --> 00:17:57,919
recommendations for our president

482
00:18:02,230 --> 00:18:00,480
and our leaders in the congress we will

483
00:18:04,789 --> 00:18:02,240
also do so with the mind that there will

484
00:18:07,430 --> 00:18:04,799
be courageous men and women

485
00:18:09,510 --> 00:18:07,440
who will make those plans a reality

486
00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:09,520
and our faith in them

487
00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:11,200
and our faith that they will not go

488
00:18:15,110 --> 00:18:12,480
alone

489
00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:15,120
will sustain us as we go as it ever has

490
00:18:17,909 --> 00:18:16,480

00:22:41,909 --> 00:22:39,679
long-term collaboration

574
00:22:45,190 --> 00:22:41,919
and throughout history we have proven

575
00:22:47,590 --> 00:22:45,200
that u.s ventures in space lead to broad

576
00:22:51,590 --> 00:22:47,600
societal benefits that lift our national

577
00:22:53,909 --> 00:22:51,600
economy and strengthen us as one people

578
00:22:56,310 --> 00:22:53,919
for decades our technological leadership

579
00:22:59,750 --> 00:22:56,320
in space has strengthened our national

580
00:23:02,390 --> 00:22:59,760
security so that americans can live work

581
00:23:04,710 --> 00:23:02,400
and trade in peace

582
00:23:07,190 --> 00:23:04,720
and just this past month we once again

583
00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:07,200
saw the tremendous value of our space

584
00:23:10,470 --> 00:23:08,400
infrastructure

585
00:23:13,669 --> 00:23:10,480
as our nation was hit by three

586
00:23:16,070 --> 00:23:13,679
hurricanes of extraordinary power

587
00:23:18,470 --> 00:23:16,080
because of our investments in space our

588
00:23:20,310 --> 00:23:18,480
satellites helped government leaders

589
00:23:22,950 --> 00:23:20,320
plan for the worst

590
00:23:25,750 --> 00:23:22,960
they helped millions of citizens prepare

591
00:23:29,669 --> 00:23:25,760
and evacuate key areas and in the

592
00:23:31,830 --> 00:23:29,679
process countless lives were saved

593
00:23:33,669 --> 00:23:31,840
at lockheed martin we have been proud to

594
00:23:36,710 --> 00:23:33,679
invest and to support our nation's

595
00:23:39,990 --> 00:23:36,720
ventures in space from interplanetary

596
00:23:42,390 --> 00:23:40,000
exploration to national security

597
00:23:44,549 --> 00:23:42,400
and among our many partnerships today we

598
00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:44,559
are honored to be building the orion

599
00:23:50,070 --> 00:23:47,600
deep space exploration vehicle for nasa

600
00:23:52,390 --> 00:23:50,080
which will soon take american astronauts

601
00:23:54,710 --> 00:23:52,400
back to the moon and farther than we've

602
00:23:56,710 --> 00:23:54,720
ever gone before

603
00:23:59,190 --> 00:23:56,720
as we look to the challenges of the 21st

604
00:24:02,070 --> 00:23:59,200
century it is clear that the pace of

605
00:24:05,430 --> 00:24:02,080
technological change is accelerating and

606
00:24:08,149 --> 00:24:05,440
that it is imperative our nation act

607
00:24:11,110 --> 00:24:08,159
at lockheed martin we see three keys to

608
00:24:13,990 --> 00:24:11,120
securing american leadership in space

609
00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:14,000
our nation will need clear and strong

610
00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:16,000
government leadership

611
00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:19,840
visionary programs and stable sustained

612
00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:21,600
investment

613
00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:23,840
by taking these positive actions we will

614
00:24:29,350 --> 00:24:26,960
enable industry to plan invest and

615
00:24:32,070 --> 00:24:29,360
innovate over the long term

616
00:24:34,950 --> 00:24:32,080
and in turn our nation will foster a

617
00:24:36,470 --> 00:24:34,960
robust u.s supply chain with advanced

618
00:24:38,870 --> 00:24:36,480

621
00:24:46,470 --> 00:24:43,039
nothing better represents america's

622
00:24:48,390 --> 00:24:46,480
optimism about the future than space and

623
00:24:50,710 --> 00:24:48,400

military space arenas

656
00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:03,919
we are drawn to exploring the unknown

657
00:26:07,590 --> 00:26:06,080
and unraveling the universe's greatest

658
00:26:09,909 --> 00:26:07,600
mysteries

659
00:26:12,630 --> 00:26:09,919
it is this innate fascination with what

660
00:26:15,350 --> 00:26:12,640
comes next that has inspired us to join

661
00:26:17,510 --> 00:26:15,360
with nasa and international partners in

662
00:26:19,750 --> 00:26:17,520
a shared mission that has over the

663
00:26:20,950 --> 00:26:19,760
course of decades celebrated lunar

664
00:26:23,269 --> 00:26:20,960
footsteps

665
00:26:25,430 --> 00:26:23,279
space shuttle launches and the assembly

666
00:26:26,950 --> 00:26:25,440
of the international space station to

667
00:26:28,950 --> 00:26:26,960
name a few

668
00:26:31,430 --> 00:26:28,960
while proud of our past

669
00:26:33,269 --> 00:26:31,440
we are focused on the future

00:26:35,750 --> 00:26:33,279
we continue to innovate and lead in

671
00:26:38,549 --> 00:26:35,760
every aspect of civil space operations

672
00:26:40,549 --> 00:26:38,559
for example nasa's space launch system

673
00:26:43,029 --> 00:26:40,559
built by boeing and our teammates will

674
00:26:44,070 --> 00:26:43,039
be the largest and most powerful rocket

675
00:26:44,789 --> 00:26:44,080
ever built

676
00:26:46,950 --> 00:26:44,799

678
00:26:51,590 --> 00:26:49,760
humanity further into the solar system

679
00:26:54,230 --> 00:26:51,600
than ever before

680
00:26:56,070 --> 00:26:54,240
and our cst 100 starliner

681
00:26:58,549 --> 00:26:56,080
launched on the 100 percent mission

682
00:27:01,750 --> 00:26:58,559
successful united launch alliance atlas

683
00:27:05,190 --> 00:27:01,760
v rocket will return american astronauts

684
00:27:08,149 --> 00:27:05,200
to space on an american-built capsule in

685
00:27:10,149 --> 00:27:08,159
the not too distant future

686
00:27:11,990 --> 00:27:10,159
while others may dream

687
00:27:14,070 --> 00:27:12,000
we actually do

688
00:27:16,630 --> 00:27:14,080
and we do with the resources and

689
00:27:18,950 --> 00:27:16,640

working together we will help humankind

691
00:27:22,230 --> 00:27:20,399
explore deep space

692
00:27:24,230 --> 00:27:22,240
and play a leadership role in america's

693
00:27:26,149 --> 00:27:24,240
journey to mars

694
00:27:29,350 --> 00:27:26,159
as well as revolutionize launch and

695
00:27:31,830 --> 00:27:29,360
space access through pioneering work on

696
00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:31,840
programs like the x-37b

697
00:27:36,630 --> 00:27:34,559
and the xs1 phantom express with our

698
00:27:38,070 --> 00:27:36,640
united states air force and darpa

699
00:27:40,070 --> 00:27:38,080
customers

700
00:27:42,149 --> 00:27:40,080
we also are delivering advanced military

701
00:27:44,630 --> 00:27:42,159
space solutions such as our wideband

702
00:27:47,350 --> 00:27:44,640
global satcom satellites to provide

703
00:27:49,830 --> 00:27:47,360
critical anywhere anytime communications

704
00:27:52,389 --> 00:27:49,840
for troops around the globe

705
00:27:53,909 --> 00:27:52,399
including those deployed in combat but

706
00:27:57,669 --> 00:27:53,919
our collective success on this

707
00:28:00,149 --> 00:27:57,679
unprecedented journey is not guaranteed

708
00:28:01,590 --> 00:28:00,159
everyone in this room government and

709
00:28:03,750 --> 00:28:01,600
industry alike

710
00:28:05,990 --> 00:28:03,760
must commit to fighting for american

711
00:28:07,830 --> 00:28:06,000
leadership in space

712
00:28:09,350 --> 00:28:07,840
we believe the aerospace industry has an

713
00:28:11,430 --> 00:28:09,360
important role to play in partnering

714
00:28:13,029 --> 00:28:11,440
with the government to enact policies

715
00:28:15,510 --> 00:28:13,039
that not only will advance our efforts

716
00:28:18,389 --> 00:28:15,520
in space but also grow the economy

717
00:28:21,269 --> 00:28:18,399
support american jobs with an emphasis

718
00:28:23,190 --> 00:28:21,279
on restoring u.s manufacturing

719
00:28:25,510 --> 00:28:23,200
that's why i continue to ga engage on

720
00:28:26,950 --> 00:28:25,520

defense industry

725
00:28:37,510 --> 00:28:35,840
where we are engaged on capitol hill

726
00:28:39,430 --> 00:28:37,520
with the administration

727
00:28:41,350 --> 00:28:39,440
and internationally

728
00:28:42,470 --> 00:28:41,360
as america's largest manufacturing

exporter

730
00:28:46,710 --> 00:28:44,480
we're a big part of the 80 billion a

731
00:28:49,110 --> 00:28:46,720
year favorable trade balance that the

732
00:28:51,510 --> 00:28:49,120
u.s aerospace sector injects

733
00:28:53,669 --> 00:28:51,520
into the nation's economy

734
00:28:55,029 --> 00:28:53,679
in addition to the roughly 140 000

735
00:28:57,350 --> 00:28:55,039
employees who work directly for the

736
00:28:59,750 --> 00:28:57,360
boeing company across the country our

737
00:29:02,310 --> 00:28:59,760
supply chain of thousands of medium and

738
00:29:05,269 --> 00:29:02,320
small businesses in all 50 states

american jobs

741
00:29:11,990 --> 00:29:09,600
consider the tremendous ripple effect

742
00:29:13,990 --> 00:29:12,000
that our industry has on the nation

743
00:29:15,190 --> 00:29:14,000
boosting economies and spurring

744
00:29:17,350 --> 00:29:15,200
innovation

745
00:29:19,909 --> 00:29:17,360
in new technologies

746
00:29:22,549 --> 00:29:19,919
as a company and an industry we remain

747
00:29:24,310 --> 00:29:22,559
committed to investing in our future

748
00:29:27,029 --> 00:29:24,320
from driving innovation to supporting

749
00:29:28,470 --> 00:29:27,039
quality jobs and capital investments and

750
00:29:30,950 --> 00:29:28,480
working with the administration to

751
00:29:34,470 --> 00:29:30,960
advance policies such as comprehensive

752
00:29:36,389 --> 00:29:34,480
tax reform that will enable it

753
00:29:38,630 --> 00:29:36,399
continued space exploration will take

754
00:29:40,710 --> 00:29:38,640
resources and cooperation

755
00:29:43,430 --> 00:29:40,720
we must commit to an uninterrupted human

756
00:29:45,990 --> 00:29:43,440
presence in orbit and accelerate our

757
00:29:48,310 --> 00:29:46,000
momentum towards deep space all too

758
00:29:50,470 --> 00:29:48,320
often when america withdraws other

759
00:29:52,389 --> 00:29:50,480
nations fill the void

760
00:29:54,149 --> 00:29:52,399
we want the united states to retain its

761
00:29:55,909 --> 00:29:54,159
leadership position build on the

762
00:29:59,029 --> 00:29:55,919
progress and substantial investments

763
00:30:01,190 --> 00:29:59,039
that have been made in recent years

764
00:30:04,310 --> 00:30:01,200
i am inspired by the boundless

765
00:30:07,110 --> 00:30:04,320
opportunity we have before us

766
00:30:09,990 --> 00:30:07,120
space has a near universal ability to

767
00:30:13,430 --> 00:30:10,000
capture our imagination unlike anything

768
00:30:14,870 --> 00:30:13,440
else to energize dreamers and doers

769
00:30:19,269 --> 00:30:14,880
alike

770
00:30:20,870 --> 00:30:19,279
achievements in space can unite a nation

771
00:30:23,430 --> 00:30:20,880
and we are proud and it's a proud

772
00:30:25,350 --> 00:30:23,440
reminder that we can accomplish amazing

773
00:30:27,350 --> 00:30:25,360
things as a country when we work

774
00:30:29,029 --> 00:30:27,360
together

775
00:30:31,430 --> 00:30:29,039
in that spirit i call upon the national

776
00:30:33,990 --> 00:30:31,440
space council to set a bold national

777
00:30:37,269 --> 00:30:34,000
space agenda with clear actionable

778
00:30:38,389 --> 00:30:37,279
objectives and resources to match

779
00:30:40,630 --> 00:30:38,399
that will help the united states

780
00:30:42,630 --> 00:30:40,640
maintain its technological edge engage

781
00:30:44,549 --> 00:30:42,640

competitive advantage

783
00:30:49,510 --> 00:30:46,640
and it will excite and inspire

784
00:30:50,789 --> 00:30:49,520
generations of americans to come

785
00:30:53,029 --> 00:30:50,799

space council there are many exciting

817
00:32:01,430 --> 00:31:58,799
opportunities available

818
00:32:03,669 --> 00:32:01,440
to this administration for near-term

819
00:32:05,909 --> 00:32:03,679
space achievements i would like to

820
00:32:08,149 --> 00:32:05,919
highlight three areas that i believe

821
00:32:11,190 --> 00:32:08,159
hold great promise for future

822
00:32:13,750 --> 00:32:11,200
accomplishments by nasa and other space

823
00:32:14,710 --> 00:32:13,760
related enterprises in the next five

824
00:32:18,149 --> 00:32:14,720
years

825
00:32:20,710 --> 00:32:18,159
first human voyages to cis lunar space

826
00:32:22,870 --> 00:32:20,720
today nasa is on the threshold of

827
00:32:25,430 --> 00:32:22,880
completing the development and in about

828
00:32:27,909 --> 00:32:25,440
two years conducting the initial flight

829
00:32:30,710 --> 00:32:27,919
of america's first deep space

830
00:32:34,149 --> 00:32:30,720
transportation system since the apollo

831
00:32:37,190 --> 00:32:34,159
saturn vehicles of the late 1960s and

832
00:32:39,269 --> 00:32:37,200
early 1970s the space launch system

833
00:32:41,350 --> 00:32:39,279
rocket and its companion orion

834
00:32:44,149 --> 00:32:41,360
spacecraft will give our country the

835
00:32:46,870 --> 00:32:44,159
capability of returning astronauts to

836
00:32:49,430 --> 00:32:46,880
the vicinity of the moon both to further

837
00:32:52,870 --> 00:32:49,440
explore the lunar environment and to

838
00:32:55,029 --> 00:32:52,880
test the technologies and operational

839
00:32:57,110 --> 00:32:55,039
operations required for future

840
00:33:00,070 --> 00:32:57,120
expeditions to mars

841
00:33:03,110 --> 00:33:00,080
now with renewed sense of purpose and

842
00:33:05,509 --> 00:33:03,120
urgency nasa and its industrial partners

843
00:33:08,710 --> 00:33:05,519
should be challenged to substantially

844
00:33:13,269 --> 00:33:08,720
accelerate the use and to fully exploit

845
00:33:15,190 --> 00:33:13,279
the capabilities of the sls orion system

846
00:33:18,630 --> 00:33:15,200
backed by this administration's

847
00:33:21,110 --> 00:33:18,640
financial and moral support u.s

848
00:33:23,430 --> 00:33:21,120
astronauts can carry out several

849
00:33:24,470 --> 00:33:23,440
cis lunar voyages during the next five

850
00:33:26,870 --> 00:33:24,480
years

851
00:33:29,669 --> 00:33:26,880
including flights to the moon to in

852
00:33:32,549 --> 00:33:29,679
place and activate the first elements of

853
00:33:35,029 --> 00:33:32,559
a lunar orbit station which nasa calls

854
00:33:37,190 --> 00:33:35,039
the deep space gateway

855
00:33:38,630 --> 00:33:37,200
second international and commercial

856
00:33:40,789 --> 00:33:38,640
partnerships

857
00:33:43,029 --> 00:33:40,799
the international space station program

858
00:33:46,389 --> 00:33:43,039
has been a remarkably successful

859
00:33:49,110 --> 00:33:46,399
collaboration of 16 countries led by the

860
00:33:51,350 --> 00:33:49,120
united states but facilitated and

861
00:33:54,230 --> 00:33:51,360
enhanced by the technological

862
00:33:56,950 --> 00:33:54,240
operational and financial contributions

863
00:34:00,070 --> 00:33:56,960
of many of our closest allies in europe

864
00:34:02,389 --> 00:34:00,080
north and south america and asia as we

865
00:34:04,389 --> 00:34:02,399
extend the reach of human activity to

866
00:34:07,190 --> 00:34:04,399
the lunar domain we should seek to

867
00:34:08,790 --> 00:34:07,200
establish new long-term partnerships

868
00:34:10,790 --> 00:34:08,800
with those countries

869
00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:10,800
who share similar goals and who can

870
00:34:15,750 --> 00:34:13,520
contribute important elements of a deep

871
00:34:18,310 --> 00:34:15,760
space infrastructure

872
00:34:20,869 --> 00:34:18,320
similarly over the past several decades

873
00:34:23,669 --> 00:34:20,879
nasa has pioneered an array of

874
00:34:25,669 --> 00:34:23,679
successful public-private partnerships

875
00:34:27,909 --> 00:34:25,679
that have resulted in accelerated

876
00:34:29,909 --> 00:34:27,919
innovation

877
00:34:31,750 --> 00:34:29,919
and new more affordable space

878
00:34:34,629 --> 00:34:31,760
capabilities for both government

879
00:34:37,349 --> 00:34:34,639
missions and commercial applications

880
00:34:40,149 --> 00:34:37,359
as the space agency plans and implements

881
00:34:42,629 --> 00:34:40,159
our return to cis lunar space it should

882
00:34:44,869 --> 00:34:42,639
aggressively engage with u s commercial

883
00:34:47,190 --> 00:34:44,879
enterprises that are willing to

884
00:34:49,909 --> 00:34:47,200
privately develop and operate systems

885
00:34:53,669 --> 00:34:49,919
that can provide a range of in-space

886
00:34:56,470 --> 00:34:53,679
utilities logistics and related services

887
00:34:58,710 --> 00:34:56,480
it should also encourage commercial use

888
00:35:01,510 --> 00:34:58,720
of the lunar orbit outposts for surface

889
00:35:02,550 --> 00:35:01,520
activities with scientific and economic

890
00:35:04,950 --> 00:35:02,560
potential

891
00:35:06,950 --> 00:35:04,960
by doing so nasa can leverage its

892
00:35:09,349 --> 00:35:06,960
limited budgets with the cost

893
00:35:11,589 --> 00:35:09,359
efficiencies of commercial development

894
00:35:14,230 --> 00:35:11,599
and operational approaches and through

895
00:35:17,750 --> 00:35:14,240
access to the resources of our private

896
00:35:19,270 --> 00:35:17,760
capital markets and third space-based

897
00:35:21,750 --> 00:35:19,280
science missions

898
00:35:23,829 --> 00:35:21,760
nasa's robotic spacecraft in earth orbit

899
00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:23,839
and throughout the solar system have

900
00:35:27,109 --> 00:35:25,680
revolutionized the fields of

901
00:35:30,150 --> 00:35:27,119
astrophysics

902
00:35:31,510 --> 00:35:30,160
solar physics planetary exploration and

903
00:35:33,430 --> 00:35:31,520
earth science

904
00:35:35,270 --> 00:35:33,440
during the last few decades space

905
00:35:38,150 --> 00:35:35,280
missions to the planets have revealed

906
00:35:40,710 --> 00:35:38,160
their wonders and charted humankind's

907
00:35:43,190 --> 00:35:40,720
path to the solar system other nasa

908
00:35:45,750 --> 00:35:43,200
missions have observed the universe with

909
00:35:48,390 --> 00:35:45,760
unprecedented resolution displaying its

910
00:35:51,030 --> 00:35:48,400
vastness and majesty and beginning the

911
00:35:52,630 --> 00:35:51,040
search for life elsewhere still other

912
00:35:54,950 --> 00:35:52,640
missions have monitored earth and

913
00:35:58,069 --> 00:35:54,960
provided us with essential information

914
00:36:00,470 --> 00:35:58,079
to be better stewards of our planet to

915
00:36:02,630 --> 00:36:00,480
assure us leadership in space science

916
00:36:05,349 --> 00:36:02,640
and robotic exploration for the next

917
00:36:07,510 --> 00:36:05,359
decade and beyond it will be critical

918
00:36:09,270 --> 00:36:07,520
for the space council to advocate for

919
00:36:10,390 --> 00:36:09,280
continued robust funding of these

920
00:36:14,550 --> 00:36:10,400
programs

921
00:36:17,349 --> 00:36:14,560
be a leader in developing the needed

922
00:36:19,750 --> 00:36:17,359
technologies to enable the use of a new

923
00:36:21,589 --> 00:36:19,760
generation of small satellites for

924
00:36:23,990 --> 00:36:21,599
scientific purposes

925
00:36:26,310 --> 00:36:24,000

withdraws

955
00:37:33,109 --> 00:37:31,040
and david you spoke about the need to

956
00:37:35,430 --> 00:37:33,119
accelerate

957
00:37:39,589 --> 00:37:35,440
my my question is can you can you favor

958
00:37:43,109 --> 00:37:39,599
us with um how do you view america's

959
00:37:47,349 --> 00:37:46,150
have we fallen behind

960
00:37:48,950 --> 00:37:47,359
as

961
00:37:51,190 --> 00:37:48,960
we believe

962
00:37:53,990 --> 00:37:51,200
is that your judgment from the outside

963
00:37:56,150 --> 00:37:54,000
and how quickly can we seize american

964
00:37:57,109 --> 00:37:56,160
leadership again in a broad range of

965
00:37:59,349 --> 00:37:57,119
areas

966
00:38:00,870 --> 00:37:59,359
in space and maybe just uh

967
00:38:02,390 --> 00:38:00,880
briefly on that and then i'll go to the

968
00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:02,400
rest of the panel

969
00:38:05,589 --> 00:38:04,400
maryland and then maybe

970
00:38:07,750 --> 00:38:05,599
others

971
00:38:10,390 --> 00:38:07,760
thank you mr vice president i would say

972
00:38:12,790 --> 00:38:10,400
first of all that it is very important

973
00:38:14,310 --> 00:38:12,800
today that we that it is an imperative

974
00:38:16,069 --> 00:38:14,320
in my view

975
00:38:19,270 --> 00:38:16,079
national security

976
00:38:22,069 --> 00:38:19,280
economic growth as well as being able to

977
00:38:24,630 --> 00:38:22,079
help with education and understanding of

978
00:38:26,950 --> 00:38:24,640
our world is imperative around space it

979
00:38:28,310 --> 00:38:26,960
has been for many many years it's even

980
00:38:30,310 --> 00:38:28,320
more so today

981
00:38:31,829 --> 00:38:30,320
to a question about being behind i think

982
00:38:34,069 --> 00:38:31,839
as you hear from the national security

983
00:38:36,069 --> 00:38:34,079
panel you'll hear more insight to this

984
00:38:37,910 --> 00:38:36,079
but i do think that we have to be

985
00:38:39,829 --> 00:38:37,920
vigilant on that front as you've

986
00:38:41,829 --> 00:38:39,839
outlined in your remarks from an

987
00:38:44,150 --> 00:38:41,839
economic security standpoint and from an

988
00:38:47,030 --> 00:38:44,160
economic growth standpoint space is an

989
00:38:50,069 --> 00:38:47,040
inspirational area for us as a nation

990
00:38:52,150 --> 00:38:50,079
not just because it's a new frontier but

991
00:38:54,069 --> 00:38:52,160
because it makes our lives better we can

992
00:38:56,230 --> 00:38:54,079
look at so many technologies that we

993
00:38:58,870 --> 00:38:56,240
have gained through our our exploration

994
00:39:01,990 --> 00:38:58,880
of space and i think getting our young

995
00:39:04,230 --> 00:39:02,000
people the next generation as well as as

996
00:39:06,069 --> 00:39:04,240
americans today focused on that will

997
00:39:08,390 --> 00:39:06,079
bring more jobs will bring more

998
00:39:10,150 --> 00:39:08,400
inspiration and will help us to continue

999
00:39:12,150 --> 00:39:10,160
to lead as a nation great so it's an

1000
00:39:12,829 --> 00:39:12,160
imperative but dennis how quickly do we

1001
00:39:16,069 --> 00:39:12,839
get

1002
00:39:18,470 --> 00:39:16,079
back in the pole position in every area

1003
00:39:20,710 --> 00:39:18,480
of space exploration in your mind

1004
00:39:22,550 --> 00:39:20,720
how quickly can we get there

1005
00:39:24,550 --> 00:39:22,560
sir i think we can get there quickly if

1006
00:39:27,109 --> 00:39:24,560
we have focus and commitment and

1007
00:39:29,589 --> 00:39:27,119
resourcing i share the sense of urgency

1008
00:39:31,510 --> 00:39:29,599
here we see countries around the world

1009
00:39:32,710 --> 00:39:31,520
investing in space to gain competitive

1010
00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:32,720
advantage

1011
00:39:36,710 --> 00:39:34,800
we know that investing in space is

1012
00:39:38,710 --> 00:39:36,720
important from a national security and

1013
00:39:40,790 --> 00:39:38,720
economic standpoint we have the

1014
00:39:44,069 --> 00:39:40,800
resources available we have the talent

1015
00:39:47,030 --> 00:39:44,079
available we have the right programs in

1016
00:39:49,990 --> 00:39:47,040
place now it is important that we have

1017
00:39:52,710 --> 00:39:50,000
long-term stability on funding

1018
00:39:54,630 --> 00:39:52,720
a clear commitment and clear actionable

1019
00:39:56,710 --> 00:39:54,640
objectives and with that i think we can

1020
00:39:58,790 --> 00:39:56,720
rally the whole country there there is

1021
00:40:01,190 --> 00:39:58,800
nothing more inspiring than the

1022
00:40:03,030 --> 00:40:01,200
country's space program in terms of

1023
00:40:05,270 --> 00:40:03,040
rallying today's industrial government

1024
00:40:07,670 --> 00:40:05,280
partnerships and building the next

1025
00:40:08,790 --> 00:40:07,680
generation of talent right so i think we

1026
00:40:11,349 --> 00:40:08,800
can do it quickly and i think it's

1027
00:40:13,349 --> 00:40:11,359
measured in a matter of a handful of

1028
00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:13,359
years and we can make clear progress

1029
00:40:16,309 --> 00:40:14,800
right out of the gates

1030
00:40:20,550 --> 00:40:16,319
david you were talking about the ability

1031
00:40:23,829 --> 00:40:21,589
multiple

1032
00:40:25,990 --> 00:40:23,839
missions

1033
00:40:28,230 --> 00:40:26,000
the next five years do you share the

1034
00:40:31,109 --> 00:40:28,240
belief how quickly we can get

1035
00:40:32,870 --> 00:40:31,119
back in the forefront uh yes sir mr vice

1036
00:40:35,349 --> 00:40:32,880
president i do uh

1037
00:40:38,630 --> 00:40:35,359
i think nasa has done a fantastic job of

1038
00:40:41,109 --> 00:40:38,640
building the uh the basic uh uh

1039
00:40:44,069 --> 00:40:41,119
infrastructure that will allow us within

1040
00:40:46,390 --> 00:40:44,079
a period of five years or less to return

1041
00:40:48,870 --> 00:40:46,400
uh american astronauts to the vicinity

1042
00:40:51,990 --> 00:40:48,880
of the moon and shortly thereafter if we

1043
00:40:53,990 --> 00:40:52,000
so choose to return both astronauts and

1044
00:40:54,950 --> 00:40:54,000
their robotic helpers to the surface of

1045
00:40:57,349 --> 00:40:54,960
the moon

1046
00:40:59,510 --> 00:40:57,359
uh so i believe this is uh this this is

1047
00:41:01,990 --> 00:40:59,520
feasible within a period of time of

1048
00:41:03,910 --> 00:41:02,000
approximately five years right

1049
00:41:06,630 --> 00:41:03,920
uh well thank you all with that uh

1050
00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:06,640
secretary of state rex tillerson

1051
00:41:10,470 --> 00:41:08,560
well thank all of you for being with us

1052
00:41:12,630 --> 00:41:10,480
this morning and i think an important

1053
00:41:14,790 --> 00:41:12,640
point that has been made

1054
00:41:17,190 --> 00:41:14,800
in terms of the real value delivery of

1055
00:41:19,109 --> 00:41:17,200
undertaking a robust and vigorous deep

1056
00:41:20,870 --> 00:41:19,119
space exploration program you touched on

1057
00:41:22,870 --> 00:41:20,880
is the inspiration

1058
00:41:25,349 --> 00:41:22,880
that it provides to

1059
00:41:26,870 --> 00:41:25,359
so many young boys young girls young men

1060
00:41:28,710 --> 00:41:26,880
and women to enter

1061
00:41:30,230 --> 00:41:28,720
fields of science technology engineering

1062
00:41:31,430 --> 00:41:30,240
and math study and then take that on to

1063
00:41:32,950 --> 00:41:31,440
their careers

1064
00:41:34,870 --> 00:41:32,960
that was the case for me neil

1065
00:41:36,630 --> 00:41:34,880
armstrong's landing on the moon inspired

1066
00:41:38,069 --> 00:41:36,640
me to want to go into a lifelong career

1067
00:41:40,230 --> 00:41:38,079
of engineering

1068
00:41:42,150 --> 00:41:40,240
and so it is a broad impact not just for

1069
00:41:44,470 --> 00:41:42,160
our space program but it is how we

1070
00:41:47,109 --> 00:41:44,480
create the ability of our nation to have

1071
00:41:48,790 --> 00:41:47,119
a very robust innovative spirit and

1072
00:41:50,790 --> 00:41:48,800
which is so fundamental to the broader

1073
00:41:53,349 --> 00:41:50,800
economic competitiveness of the u.s and

1074
00:41:55,109 --> 00:41:53,359
so i really share strongly the views

1075
00:41:57,030 --> 00:41:55,119
that this is going to deliver enormous

1076
00:41:58,710 --> 00:41:57,040
value far beyond just

1077
00:42:01,270 --> 00:41:58,720
our accomplishments and deep space

1078
00:42:02,950 --> 00:42:01,280
exploration and with that i had a couple

1079
00:42:05,670 --> 00:42:02,960
of questions one is

1080
00:42:08,550 --> 00:42:05,680
as we think about deep space exploration

1081
00:42:10,069 --> 00:42:08,560
and we have in in our space programs in

1082
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:10,079
the past we've had very successful

1083
00:42:14,470 --> 00:42:13,040
international consortium cooperation

1084
00:42:17,270 --> 00:42:14,480
partnerships

1085
00:42:19,270 --> 00:42:17,280
as we think about deep space exploration

1086
00:42:21,109 --> 00:42:19,280
what's the proper in your view what is

1087
00:42:22,390 --> 00:42:21,119
the proper architecture around an

1088
00:42:23,670 --> 00:42:22,400
international

1089
00:42:25,750 --> 00:42:23,680
effort

1090
00:42:27,910 --> 00:42:25,760
to put humans into deep space

1091
00:42:29,829 --> 00:42:27,920
exploration programs are there areas

1092
00:42:31,270 --> 00:42:29,839
that we should reserve to ourselves or

1093
00:42:33,270 --> 00:42:31,280
other areas that really lend themselves

1094
00:42:34,790 --> 00:42:33,280
to international consortium

1095
00:42:36,950 --> 00:42:34,800
and then as you think about that what

1096
00:42:39,750 --> 00:42:36,960
are there particular countries

1097
00:42:41,910 --> 00:42:39,760
in your experience that we should be

1098
00:42:43,589 --> 00:42:41,920
developing this relationship and this

1099
00:42:47,589 --> 00:42:43,599
architecture with in particular where

1100
00:42:51,910 --> 00:42:49,510
mr secretary if i can take a first cut

1101
00:42:53,750 --> 00:42:51,920
at that i think a good model is the work

1102
00:42:56,470 --> 00:42:53,760
we've done together on the international

1103
00:42:58,390 --> 00:42:56,480
space station over the last many years

1104
00:42:59,990 --> 00:42:58,400
that has been a very successful endeavor

1105
00:43:03,270 --> 00:43:00,000
for our country with a number of

1106
00:43:05,270 --> 00:43:03,280
industrial partnerships and uh and

1107
00:43:07,190 --> 00:43:05,280
partnerships with other countries

1108
00:43:09,750 --> 00:43:07,200
the key to success however is american

1109
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:09,760
leadership so collaboration works it can

1110
00:43:12,950 --> 00:43:11,920
make sense but it requires american

1111
00:43:15,750 --> 00:43:12,960
leadership

1112
00:43:17,270 --> 00:43:15,760
and america architecting the system i

1113
00:43:19,510 --> 00:43:17,280
think there are similar opportunities

1114
00:43:21,270 --> 00:43:19,520
for deep space exploration but again i

1115
00:43:24,309 --> 00:43:21,280
think america needs to lead with the

1116
00:43:26,550 --> 00:43:24,319
technology lead with the architecture

1117
00:43:28,710 --> 00:43:26,560
lead in terms of building an

1118
00:43:30,470 --> 00:43:28,720
infrastructure that will allow

1119
00:43:32,950 --> 00:43:30,480
international collaboration there are

1120
00:43:34,630 --> 00:43:32,960
certain elements of technology and

1121
00:43:36,470 --> 00:43:34,640
innovation too that i think are

1122
00:43:38,710 --> 00:43:36,480
appropriate for the united states to

1123
00:43:41,030 --> 00:43:38,720
keep for itself and that has to be part

1124
00:43:42,630 --> 00:43:41,040
of architecting such a program

1125
00:43:44,550 --> 00:43:42,640
but i think the opportunity to bring in

1126
00:43:46,630 --> 00:43:44,560
additional resources talents with many

1127
00:43:48,470 --> 00:43:46,640
of our global partners our allies

1128
00:43:50,870 --> 00:43:48,480
finding intersections between national

1129
00:43:53,109 --> 00:43:50,880
security and economic security are very

1130
00:43:55,990 --> 00:43:53,119
viable and those are the places where i

1131
00:43:57,349 --> 00:43:56,000
would look for partnerships

1132
00:43:59,589 --> 00:43:57,359
i would add on the deep space

1133
00:44:01,510 --> 00:43:59,599
exploration side orion is a good example

1134
00:44:03,030 --> 00:44:01,520
of that today we have the european space

1135
00:44:05,430 --> 00:44:03,040
agency that is building the service

1136
00:44:07,670 --> 00:44:05,440
module for that this is going to be you

1137
00:44:09,910 --> 00:44:07,680
know it's a it's a proven technology

1138
00:44:12,230 --> 00:44:09,920
it's a capsule that we are moving

1139
00:44:14,390 --> 00:44:12,240
forward with with nasa and we're very

1140
00:44:16,309 --> 00:44:14,400
pleased with where it is in its progress

1141
00:44:18,230 --> 00:44:16,319
so it's working today i think where we

1142
00:44:19,990 --> 00:44:18,240
also would look is

1143
00:44:21,589 --> 00:44:20,000
other countries is involved with the

1144
00:44:22,390 --> 00:44:21,599
infrastructure that we put in place in

1145
00:44:24,150 --> 00:44:22,400
space

1146
00:44:26,150 --> 00:44:24,160
but i would also think an important area

1147
00:44:29,349 --> 00:44:26,160
that we should keep in front of us as a

1148
00:44:31,750 --> 00:44:29,359
government is that in space we need to

1149
00:44:33,670 --> 00:44:31,760
have an international framework

1150
00:44:36,150 --> 00:44:33,680
regulatory framework because there are

1151
00:44:37,750 --> 00:44:36,160
so there are over 70 countries that are

1152
00:44:39,190 --> 00:44:37,760
that have missions in space today a

1153
00:44:40,309 --> 00:44:39,200
variety of different things that they're

1154
00:44:42,790 --> 00:44:40,319
doing and so

1155
00:44:44,710 --> 00:44:42,800
the the us should lead on helping to get

1156
00:44:45,990 --> 00:44:44,720
in place that regulatory framework

1157
00:44:47,990 --> 00:44:46,000
that's so important for those

1158
00:44:51,990 --> 00:44:48,000
international partnerships and for just

1159
00:44:56,950 --> 00:44:55,589
mr secretary i would agree i think the

1160
00:44:58,790 --> 00:44:56,960
discussions have started at a

1161
00:45:00,710 --> 00:44:58,800
preliminary level

1162
00:45:03,750 --> 00:45:00,720
between nasa and the european space

1163
00:45:05,030 --> 00:45:03,760
agency and and i would uh

1164
00:45:07,190 --> 00:45:05,040
recommend

1165
00:45:08,309 --> 00:45:07,200
the space council encourage

1166
00:45:11,190 --> 00:45:08,319
those

1167
00:45:13,750 --> 00:45:11,200
discussions i think nasa and esa have

1168
00:45:16,230 --> 00:45:13,760
have been good partners on a variety of

1169
00:45:18,470 --> 00:45:16,240
human and robotic space

1170
00:45:20,950 --> 00:45:18,480
initiatives in the past and

1171
00:45:22,550 --> 00:45:20,960
could form the core international

1172
00:45:23,670 --> 00:45:22,560
coalition to

1173
00:45:25,190 --> 00:45:23,680
see

1174
00:45:31,349 --> 00:45:25,200
humans move

1175
00:45:34,710 --> 00:45:32,870
uh thank you mr secretary if you have no

1176
00:45:36,230 --> 00:45:34,720
other questions i'll take a moment to

1177
00:45:40,069 --> 00:45:36,240
remind you that neil armstrong was a

1178
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:41,510
that would be purdue university in

1179
00:45:45,990 --> 00:45:44,090
indiana

1180
00:45:48,390 --> 00:45:46,000
[Laughter]

1181
00:45:50,309 --> 00:45:48,400
i appreciate very uh thoughtful comments

1182
00:45:51,670 --> 00:45:50,319
and appreciate the secretary's presence

1183
00:45:54,309 --> 00:45:51,680
here today and

1184
00:45:56,710 --> 00:45:54,319
uh his engagement on this council uh

1185
00:46:00,870 --> 00:45:56,720
acting nasa administrator um

1186
00:46:04,390 --> 00:46:02,630
all right thank you vice president um i

1187
00:46:05,750 --> 00:46:04,400
think the the question i would have i'm

1188
00:46:07,430 --> 00:46:05,760
going to kind of direct it to david but

1189
00:46:08,630 --> 00:46:07,440
i'll let the other two jump in if you

1190
00:46:11,030 --> 00:46:08,640
get a chance

1191
00:46:12,309 --> 00:46:11,040
clearly we've advanced a lot since the

1192
00:46:13,510 --> 00:46:12,319
last time we went to the moon and

1193
00:46:15,270 --> 00:46:13,520
there's a lot of advancements that are

1194
00:46:17,030 --> 00:46:15,280
out there and i i'd be very interested

1195
00:46:19,190 --> 00:46:17,040
in your thoughts on the role of robotics

1196
00:46:20,790 --> 00:46:19,200
or other technologies um as we look at

1197
00:46:22,790 --> 00:46:20,800
going to lunar operations specifically

1198
00:46:24,870 --> 00:46:22,800
for you david um

1199
00:46:27,190 --> 00:46:24,880
you guys are working a lot in satellite

1200
00:46:28,230 --> 00:46:27,200
servicing and you're your cygnus cargo

1201
00:46:29,589 --> 00:46:28,240
vehicle that you're flying the

1202
00:46:31,750 --> 00:46:29,599
international space station today you're

1203
00:46:33,510 --> 00:46:31,760
looking at autonomous operations there

1204
00:46:35,510 --> 00:46:33,520
how do you see that as an enabler as we

1205
00:46:36,710 --> 00:46:35,520
move forward into this area

1206
00:46:38,550 --> 00:46:36,720
or other technologies that you want to

1207
00:46:40,630 --> 00:46:38,560
speak on that

1208
00:46:44,069 --> 00:46:40,640
thank you very much robert

1209
00:46:46,790 --> 00:46:44,079
i see uh the the near future uh

1210
00:46:48,790 --> 00:46:46,800
activities uh in uh the vicinity of the

1211
00:46:50,230 --> 00:46:48,800
moon differing in several important

1212
00:46:53,670 --> 00:46:50,240
respects from

1213
00:46:55,430 --> 00:46:53,680
our last human flights uh uh to the moon

1214
00:46:56,790 --> 00:46:55,440
uh almost 45

1215
00:46:58,710 --> 00:46:56,800
years ago

1216
00:47:00,550 --> 00:46:58,720
first i believe these

1217
00:47:03,190 --> 00:47:00,560
up these upcoming missions will

1218
00:47:05,670 --> 00:47:03,200
ultimately be of longer duration the the

1219
00:47:07,109 --> 00:47:05,680
longest period of time that uh humans

1220
00:47:09,750 --> 00:47:07,119
have ever been in the vicinity of the

1221
00:47:12,069 --> 00:47:09,760
moon is less than five days

1222
00:47:14,710 --> 00:47:12,079
and as we go back i think we will

1223
00:47:17,190 --> 00:47:14,720
quickly amass the experience of weeks or

1224
00:47:19,589 --> 00:47:17,200
months of operations

1225
00:47:23,030 --> 00:47:19,599
in lunar orbit and on the surface of the

1226
00:47:26,150 --> 00:47:23,040
moon with human tended

1227
00:47:29,349 --> 00:47:26,160
platforms and and reusable systems that

1228
00:47:32,230 --> 00:47:29,359
can be uh left behind to be serviced by

1229
00:47:33,109 --> 00:47:32,240
many uh subsequent crews with respect to

1230
00:47:35,349 --> 00:47:33,119
uh

1231
00:47:37,349 --> 00:47:35,359
robotics and other autonomous systems

1232
00:47:39,270 --> 00:47:37,359
there have been enormous advances

1233
00:47:42,470 --> 00:47:39,280
in some cases spearheaded by nasa in

1234
00:47:45,270 --> 00:47:42,480
other cases by by the private sector or

1235
00:47:48,150 --> 00:47:45,280
the military in these technologies over

1236
00:47:50,630 --> 00:47:48,160
the intervening uh four decades

1237
00:47:54,069 --> 00:47:50,640
nasa has done uh quite a bit of this on

1238
00:47:57,349 --> 00:47:54,079
its own with its robotic emissaries to

1239
00:47:58,790 --> 00:47:57,359
explore the solar system

1240
00:48:00,390 --> 00:47:58,800
and now

1241
00:48:02,309 --> 00:48:00,400
in low orbit

1242
00:48:05,910 --> 00:48:02,319
private companies are

1243
00:48:07,829 --> 00:48:05,920
also deploying robotic systems of quite

1244
00:48:09,990 --> 00:48:07,839
an advanced uh nature so i would

1245
00:48:12,069 --> 00:48:10,000
envision

1246
00:48:13,829 --> 00:48:12,079
human activities

1247
00:48:15,190 --> 00:48:13,839
on the moon and near the moon being

1248
00:48:16,870 --> 00:48:15,200
substantially

1249
00:48:19,670 --> 00:48:16,880
uh enabled

1250
00:48:22,230 --> 00:48:19,680
made more productive and made much safer

1251
00:48:23,829 --> 00:48:22,240
due to the presence of robotics uh and

1252
00:48:26,069 --> 00:48:23,839
other autonomous systems that could

1253
00:48:27,829 --> 00:48:26,079
operate together with our men and women

1254
00:48:30,790 --> 00:48:27,839
that would uh that would be there uh

1255
00:48:32,150 --> 00:48:30,800
representing our country thank you

1256
00:48:35,190 --> 00:48:32,160
robert if i could just add a

1257
00:48:37,109 --> 00:48:35,200
complimentary uh point to uh to david's

1258
00:48:39,190 --> 00:48:37,119
we see the opportunity for robotics in

1259
00:48:40,870 --> 00:48:39,200
space and collaboration between humans

1260
00:48:42,710 --> 00:48:40,880
and robots is an important technology

1261
00:48:45,349 --> 00:48:42,720
step it does come in the form of

1262
00:48:48,710 --> 00:48:45,359
vehicles uh another another example

1263
00:48:51,190 --> 00:48:48,720
being the x-37b uh the phantom express

1264
00:48:53,430 --> 00:48:51,200
rapid launch capabilities we also see a

1265
00:48:55,829 --> 00:48:53,440
future with automation and robotics in

1266
00:48:57,750 --> 00:48:55,839
space in areas like space manufacturing

1267
00:49:00,069 --> 00:48:57,760
and we see the opportunity for zero

1268
00:49:03,270 --> 00:49:00,079
gravity low gravity manufacturing as

1269
00:49:05,109 --> 00:49:03,280
being a viable commercial practice in

1270
00:49:07,510 --> 00:49:05,119
space at some point that could either be

1271
00:49:09,670 --> 00:49:07,520
in low earth orbit or lunar

1272
00:49:12,069 --> 00:49:09,680
and uh as we're doing on earth with

1273
00:49:14,230 --> 00:49:12,079
combinations of of humans and robots

1274
00:49:16,549 --> 00:49:14,240
working in our factories robotic

1275
00:49:17,829 --> 00:49:16,559
application to space manufacturing

1276
00:49:19,750 --> 00:49:17,839
i think is another leading edge

1277
00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:19,760
technology area it's an important place

1278
00:49:23,510 --> 00:49:21,760
for america to lead

1279
00:49:25,030 --> 00:49:23,520
great

1280
00:49:27,190 --> 00:49:25,040
thank you

1281
00:49:28,390 --> 00:49:27,200
anyone else have a comment in response

1282
00:49:29,190 --> 00:49:28,400
in addition

1283
00:49:31,430 --> 00:49:29,200
great

1284
00:49:33,030 --> 00:49:31,440
good um last question on this panel

1285
00:49:34,549 --> 00:49:33,040
we'll go to uh the deputy secretary of

1286
00:49:37,430 --> 00:49:34,559
defense paul shanahan

1287
00:49:39,829 --> 00:49:37,440
hey good afternoon or yes good morning

1288
00:49:41,829 --> 00:49:39,839
you know um one of the the themes that

1289
00:49:42,790 --> 00:49:41,839
uh each of you mentioned in your remarks

1290
00:49:45,589 --> 00:49:42,800
was

1291
00:49:47,990 --> 00:49:45,599
stable consistent funding

1292
00:49:50,390 --> 00:49:48,000
and you know the question is as you look

1293
00:49:53,750 --> 00:49:50,400
across the three different domains

1294
00:49:55,910 --> 00:49:53,760
civil commercial military

1295
00:49:57,750 --> 00:49:55,920
what's the synergy we should try to

1296
00:50:00,230 --> 00:49:57,760
exploit how do you think about really

1297
00:50:05,430 --> 00:50:00,240
leveraging some of those common missions

1298
00:50:10,069 --> 00:50:07,109
yeah well first of all

1299
00:50:11,589 --> 00:50:10,079
i think your point of of matching up and

1300
00:50:13,430 --> 00:50:11,599
uh and creating synergy across

1301
00:50:14,950 --> 00:50:13,440
commercial and defense sectors is very

1302
00:50:16,630 --> 00:50:14,960
important it's important to the talent

1303
00:50:17,990 --> 00:50:16,640
base it's important to the techniques

1304
00:50:20,390 --> 00:50:18,000
and processes

1305
00:50:22,230 --> 00:50:20,400
and frankly uh that combination can help

1306
00:50:24,390 --> 00:50:22,240
create some stability in funding and

1307
00:50:26,150 --> 00:50:24,400
programmatic profiles

1308
00:50:27,750 --> 00:50:26,160
i think it's also important that from a

1309
00:50:29,910 --> 00:50:27,760
policy standpoint if we look at the

1310
00:50:32,150 --> 00:50:29,920
national budget not only the defense

1311
00:50:33,510 --> 00:50:32,160
budget but all of the elements that fuel

1312
00:50:36,069 --> 00:50:33,520
innovation

1313
00:50:38,230 --> 00:50:36,079
year to year stability and alternatives

1314
00:50:39,750 --> 00:50:38,240
to the budget cap

1315
00:50:42,710 --> 00:50:39,760
approach that we have in place today

1316
00:50:44,790 --> 00:50:42,720
sequestration we need an alternative

1317
00:50:46,470 --> 00:50:44,800
that's good for the u.s government it's

1318
00:50:48,309 --> 00:50:46,480
good for the economy it's good for

1319
00:50:50,549 --> 00:50:48,319
industry so we can do long-term planning

1320
00:50:52,390 --> 00:50:50,559
together without that long-term view and

1321
00:50:54,790 --> 00:50:52,400
long-term stability and funding it's

1322
00:50:56,710 --> 00:50:54,800
difficult to build a supply chain it's

1323
00:50:59,750 --> 00:50:56,720
difficult to make the investments that

1324
00:51:01,109 --> 00:50:59,760
create long-term space infrastructure

1325
00:51:03,190 --> 00:51:01,119
i think that's one of the most important

1326
00:51:05,270 --> 00:51:03,200
things we can do as a country

1327
00:51:09,109 --> 00:51:05,280
i would add to that to your point there

1328
00:51:11,510 --> 00:51:09,119
is complementary uh when you take the

1329
00:51:13,430 --> 00:51:11,520
national security activities that we do

1330
00:51:15,270 --> 00:51:13,440
they do flow over into commercial

1331
00:51:17,190 --> 00:51:15,280
opportunities and civil opportunities as

1332
00:51:18,630 --> 00:51:17,200
well so the money that we're spending

1333
00:51:20,870 --> 00:51:18,640
the investments that we're making as a

1334
00:51:23,430 --> 00:51:20,880
nation on national security or on our

1335
00:51:25,589 --> 00:51:23,440
civil space programs it's complementary

1336
00:51:27,670 --> 00:51:25,599
across and we can get the full bang for

1337
00:51:29,910 --> 00:51:27,680
the buck but to dennis's point we have

1338
00:51:32,470 --> 00:51:29,920
been faced with a very challenging

1339
00:51:34,309 --> 00:51:32,480
budget environment in the space arena as

1340
00:51:36,790 --> 00:51:34,319
well as in other areas of our government

1341
00:51:38,790 --> 00:51:36,800
and so that is a message to you as a

1342
00:51:40,230 --> 00:51:38,800
space council that we really do need to

1343
00:51:42,230 --> 00:51:40,240
make sure that we have stable funding

1344
00:51:44,069 --> 00:51:42,240
that we are that we have aspirational

1345
00:51:45,430 --> 00:51:44,079
programs that we're investing in so that

1346
00:51:51,109 --> 00:51:45,440
we can continue

1347
00:51:55,270 --> 00:51:53,030
very good

1348
00:51:56,230 --> 00:51:55,280

beyond low earth orbit the united states

1379
00:53:08,790 --> 00:53:06,720

00:58:09,430 --> 00:58:08,240
another one of those missions upcoming

1510
00:58:11,349 --> 00:58:09,440
in a week

1511
00:58:13,109 --> 00:58:11,359
this is a market commercial space launch

1512
00:58:16,230 --> 00:58:13,119
that the united states used to dominate

1513
00:58:18,630 --> 00:58:16,240
in the 90s we lost it in the 2000s and

1514
00:58:20,950 --> 00:58:18,640
we have been we are bringing that back

1515
00:58:23,030 --> 00:58:20,960
uh to the united states

1516
00:58:27,270 --> 00:58:23,040
along with the thousands of jobs that

1517
00:58:29,990 --> 00:58:28,950
spacex is bringing this critical market

1518
00:58:32,230 --> 00:58:30,000
back

1519
00:58:35,030 --> 00:58:32,240
and we are pleased to be doing so

1520
00:58:38,230 --> 00:58:35,040
also as recently announced by my boss mr

1521
00:58:40,710 --> 00:58:38,240
elon musk the ceo of spacex we also plan

1522
00:58:42,470 --> 00:58:40,720
to move forward rapidly with a program a

1523
00:58:44,470 --> 00:58:42,480
commercial program

1524
00:58:46,230 --> 00:58:44,480
for an american rocket and a spaceship

1525
00:58:47,910 --> 00:58:46,240
capable of carrying large numbers of

1526
00:58:50,309 --> 00:58:47,920
humans to mars

1527
00:58:51,670 --> 00:58:50,319
as well as the surface of the moon

1528
00:58:53,990 --> 00:58:51,680
though i sit on the commercial space

1529
00:58:56,230 --> 00:58:54,000
panel today and as i've mentioned we are

1530
00:58:58,710 --> 00:58:56,240
a key player both in the civil and the

1531
00:59:00,390 --> 00:58:58,720
national security space markets earlier

1532
00:59:02,549 --> 00:59:00,400
this year we carried the national

1533
00:59:04,870 --> 00:59:02,559
reconnaissance office l-76 mission to

1534
00:59:07,190 --> 00:59:04,880
orbit last month we successfully

1535
00:59:08,069 --> 00:59:07,200
launched the air force's x-37b into

1536
00:59:10,150 --> 00:59:08,079
orbit

1537
00:59:11,349 --> 00:59:10,160
next year we will have the profound

1538
00:59:14,150 --> 00:59:11,359
honor

1539
00:59:15,910 --> 00:59:14,160
of carrying u.s astronauts into space on

1540
00:59:18,069 --> 00:59:15,920
an american rocket for the first time

1541
00:59:20,710 --> 00:59:18,079
since 2011.

1542
00:59:23,910 --> 00:59:20,720
new rockets spacecraft and plans for

1543
00:59:25,829 --> 00:59:23,920
space commerce around in short there is

1544
00:59:26,870 --> 00:59:25,839
a renaissance underway right now in

1545
00:59:28,710 --> 00:59:26,880
space

1546
00:59:30,789 --> 00:59:28,720
against this background we urge the

1547
00:59:33,270 --> 00:59:30,799
council to undertake a unified effort

1548
00:59:35,430 --> 00:59:33,280
across the federal space enterprise you

1549
00:59:37,910 --> 00:59:35,440
have the opportunity to help accelerate

1550
00:59:40,069 --> 00:59:37,920
low earth orbit and deep space efforts

1551
00:59:42,630 --> 00:59:40,079
by employing public-private partnerships

1552
00:59:44,710 --> 00:59:42,640
to yield speedy and efficient results

1553
00:59:46,870 --> 00:59:44,720
and by implementing meaningful

1554
00:59:48,710 --> 00:59:46,880
regulatory reforms

1555
00:59:50,549 --> 00:59:48,720
overall the council can work to alter

1556
00:59:52,710 --> 00:59:50,559
and improve procurement agility and

1557
00:59:54,710 --> 00:59:52,720
flexibility so that the government can

1558
00:59:56,150 --> 00:59:54,720
behave more like a commercial buyer

1559
00:59:57,829 --> 00:59:56,160
where applicable

1560
00:59:59,510 --> 00:59:57,839
if we want to achieve rapid progress in

1561
01:00:01,430 --> 00:59:59,520
space the us government must remove

1562
01:00:04,470 --> 01:00:01,440
bureaucratic practices that run counter

1563
01:00:06,230 --> 01:00:04,480
to innovation and and speed we urge the

1564
01:00:07,670 --> 01:00:06,240
council to look back to the nasa

1565
01:00:10,230 --> 01:00:07,680
commercial orbital transportation

1566
01:00:12,150 --> 01:00:10,240
services program or cots for important

1567
01:00:14,390 --> 01:00:12,160
lessons learned about the effectiveness

1568
01:00:15,829 --> 01:00:14,400
of public-private partnerships and how

1569
01:00:18,470 --> 01:00:15,839
to carry them out

1570
01:00:20,789 --> 01:00:18,480
the firm fixed price pay-for-performance

1571
01:00:23,990 --> 01:00:20,799
competitive principles embodied in the

1572
01:00:26,950 --> 01:00:24,000
cots programs allowed nasa to rapidly

1573
01:00:29,349 --> 01:00:26,960
yield two new spacecraft and two new

1574
01:00:31,349 --> 01:00:29,359
rockets capable of carrying cargo to the

1575
01:00:32,549 --> 01:00:31,359
international space station

1576
01:00:34,710 --> 01:00:32,559
these lessons should be applied to

1577
01:00:36,630 --> 01:00:34,720
mayor's america's space program beyond

1578
01:00:38,789 --> 01:00:36,640
low earth orbit including a new

1579
01:00:40,549 --> 01:00:38,799
competitive public-private partnership

1580
01:00:43,109 --> 01:00:40,559
model on the cots approach for deep

1581
01:00:45,510 --> 01:00:43,119
space exploration this would augment

1582
01:00:47,109 --> 01:00:45,520
budgets with private capital complement

1583
01:00:49,670 --> 01:00:47,119
existing technologies that are being

1584
01:00:51,829 --> 01:00:49,680
pursued and accelerate technologies for

1585
01:00:53,349 --> 01:00:51,839
new destinations in space

1586
01:00:55,270 --> 01:00:53,359
including deep space communications

1587
01:00:56,789 --> 01:00:55,280
networks and also landers on the moon

1588
01:00:58,230 --> 01:00:56,799
and mars

1589
01:00:59,510 --> 01:00:58,240
the council can also establish

1590
01:01:01,510 --> 01:00:59,520
directives that

1591
01:01:03,510 --> 01:01:01,520
achieve rapid government adoption of new

1592
01:01:05,750 --> 01:01:03,520
commercial capabilities like reusable

1593
01:01:07,910 --> 01:01:05,760
launch vehicles rapid and complete

1594
01:01:09,910 --> 01:01:07,920
reusability is the next great

1595
01:01:12,390 --> 01:01:09,920
advancement for space flight and will

1596
01:01:14,390 --> 01:01:12,400
fundamentally alter the economics and re

1597
01:01:15,990 --> 01:01:14,400
and access to space

1598
01:01:18,150 --> 01:01:16,000
finally the council could commit to

1599
01:01:20,309 --> 01:01:18,160
reforming modernizing and streamlining

1600
01:01:22,710 --> 01:01:20,319
federal regulations governing space

1601
01:01:24,950 --> 01:01:22,720
launch regulations written decades ago

1602
01:01:27,270 --> 01:01:24,960
must be updated to keep pace with the

1603
01:01:29,430 --> 01:01:27,280
new technologies and the high cadence of

1604
01:01:31,190 --> 01:01:29,440
launch from the united states if we want

1605
01:01:33,829 --> 01:01:31,200
a strong space launch industry here at

1606
01:01:35,670 --> 01:01:33,839

bob smith is ceo of blue origin and is

1614
01:01:54,950 --> 01:01:53,359
recognized and welcomed to the national

1615
01:01:57,109 --> 01:01:54,960
space council

1616
01:01:59,270 --> 01:01:57,119
thank you mr vice president members of

1617
01:02:01,190 --> 01:01:59,280
the national space council thank you for

1618
01:02:02,150 --> 01:02:01,200
the opportunity to speak before you

1619
01:02:04,390 --> 01:02:02,160
today

1620
01:02:06,230 --> 01:02:04,400
at blue origin our vision is to enable a

1621
01:02:07,990 --> 01:02:06,240
future where millions of people are

1622
01:02:09,910 --> 01:02:08,000
living and working in space

1623
01:02:12,549 --> 01:02:09,920
this vision was set forth by our founder

1624
01:02:14,630 --> 01:02:12,559
jeff bezos who as a five-year-old

1625
01:02:16,549 --> 01:02:14,640
watched neil armstrong and bless aldrin

1626
01:02:18,549 --> 01:02:16,559
walk on the moon

1627
01:02:19,589 --> 01:02:18,559
this event sparked his lifelong passion

1628
01:02:21,430 --> 01:02:19,599
for space

1629
01:02:23,990 --> 01:02:21,440
this passion is what all of us at blue

1630
01:02:25,829 --> 01:02:24,000
origin think about each and every day

1631
01:02:28,150 --> 01:02:25,839
i'm a child of the apollo era and saw

1632
01:02:29,270 --> 01:02:28,160
with my own eyes the immense progress we

1633
01:02:31,430 --> 01:02:29,280
made then

1634
01:02:33,109 --> 01:02:31,440
to accomplish things that were almost

1635
01:02:34,950 --> 01:02:33,119
unthinkable at the time

1636
01:02:36,710 --> 01:02:34,960
i am proud now to be part of leading

1637
01:02:38,390 --> 01:02:36,720
this organization forward

1638
01:02:40,710 --> 01:02:38,400
and representing the commercial space

1639
01:02:42,549 --> 01:02:40,720
industry's desire to work with the

1640
01:02:44,870 --> 01:02:42,559
government to see progress like this

1641
01:02:46,710 --> 01:02:44,880
once again in my lifetime

1642
01:02:48,870 --> 01:02:46,720
the traditional government-driven space

1643
01:02:52,710 --> 01:02:48,880
enterprise gave the u.s leadership in

1644
01:02:54,309 --> 01:02:52,720
space over the past 60 years

1645
01:02:56,150 --> 01:02:54,319
through the apollo program through the

1646
01:02:59,190 --> 01:02:56,160
space shuttle program the international

1647
01:03:02,069 --> 01:02:59,200
space station and our national security

1648
01:03:03,430 --> 01:03:02,079
capabilities which are unrivaled by any

1649
01:03:04,870 --> 01:03:03,440
other country

1650
01:03:06,870 --> 01:03:04,880
however we believe the future of the

1651
01:03:08,870 --> 01:03:06,880
united states leadership in space will

1652
01:03:10,870 --> 01:03:08,880
build on these civil and national

1653
01:03:13,430 --> 01:03:10,880
security accomplishments and they will

1654
01:03:15,589 --> 01:03:13,440
continue by driving economic activity

1655
01:03:17,349 --> 01:03:15,599
commercial innovation and human space

1656
01:03:19,589 --> 01:03:17,359
flight resulting in an economic

1657
01:03:21,510 --> 01:03:19,599
expansion into space on the way to

1658
01:03:22,710 --> 01:03:21,520
millions of people living and working in

1659
01:03:24,870 --> 01:03:22,720
space

1660
01:03:26,230 --> 01:03:24,880
the first step in making this happen is

1661
01:03:28,069 --> 01:03:26,240
lowering the cost

1662
01:03:30,549 --> 01:03:28,079
of access to space by building

1663
01:03:32,309 --> 01:03:30,559
operationally reusable launch systems

1664
01:03:34,789 --> 01:03:32,319
blue origin is working on this today

1665
01:03:36,390 --> 01:03:34,799
designing reusability in from the

1666
01:03:38,470 --> 01:03:36,400
beginning on all of our programs that

1667
01:03:40,950 --> 01:03:38,480
will take people and payloads to the

1668
01:03:42,549 --> 01:03:40,960
earth orbit the moon and beyond

1669
01:03:44,309 --> 01:03:42,559
we are investing significant private

1670
01:03:46,390 --> 01:03:44,319
capital in our programs that are making

1671
01:03:47,510 --> 01:03:46,400
great progress towards increasing access

1672
01:03:49,190 --> 01:03:47,520
to space

1673
01:03:51,589 --> 01:03:49,200
our new shepard vehicle

1674
01:03:53,270 --> 01:03:51,599
will take scientific payloads and people

1675
01:03:55,109 --> 01:03:53,280
into space where they will experience

1676
01:03:57,190 --> 01:03:55,119
weightlessness and

1677
01:03:59,510 --> 01:03:57,200
witness incredible views

1678
01:04:01,670 --> 01:03:59,520
new shepard is named after the first

1679
01:04:03,430 --> 01:04:01,680
american go to space alan shepard

1680
01:04:04,470 --> 01:04:03,440
and launches from our facility in west

1681
01:04:06,069 --> 01:04:04,480
texas

1682
01:04:07,670 --> 01:04:06,079
the next launch of new shepard will be

1683
01:04:09,510 --> 01:04:07,680
later this year

1684
01:04:11,270 --> 01:04:09,520
the advances in reusability that we have

1685
01:04:12,870 --> 01:04:11,280
developed with new shepard are making

1686
01:04:14,630 --> 01:04:12,880
their way into new glen

1687
01:04:17,270 --> 01:04:14,640
our orbital rocket that will launch from

1688
01:04:19,430 --> 01:04:17,280
historic launch complex 36 at cape

1689
01:04:21,349 --> 01:04:19,440
canaveral taking people and payloads to

1690
01:04:23,670 --> 01:04:21,359
low earth orbit and beyond

1691
01:04:25,349 --> 01:04:23,680
new glenn is named after the first

1692
01:04:27,829 --> 01:04:25,359
american to orbit the earth senator john

1693
01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:27,839
glenn our massive factory at the cape

1694
01:04:31,829 --> 01:04:29,920
where we build new glen is on track to

1695
01:04:33,750 --> 01:04:31,839
be completed by the end of the year

1696
01:04:35,990 --> 01:04:33,760
we've also invested in building our own

1697
01:04:37,910 --> 01:04:36,000
reusable engines to power our launch

1698
01:04:40,950 --> 01:04:37,920
vehicles and to benefit the great air

1699
01:04:42,710 --> 01:04:40,960
launch industry our be 3 engine which

1700
01:04:44,950 --> 01:04:42,720
launches new shepard to space is an

1701
01:04:46,789 --> 01:04:44,960
amazing advancement in engine technology

1702
01:04:50,549 --> 01:04:46,799
and has demonstrated remarkable throttle

1703
01:04:53,190 --> 01:04:50,559
ability and robustness of design

1704
01:04:54,710 --> 01:04:53,200
we will soon begin testing our be4

1705
01:04:56,549 --> 01:04:54,720
engine which will take new glenn to

1706
01:04:57,670 --> 01:04:56,559
space and is being developed in

1707
01:04:59,750 --> 01:04:57,680
partnership

1708
01:05:02,710 --> 01:04:59,760
with united launch alliance for the next

1709
01:05:05,990 --> 01:05:02,720
generation vehicle vulcan and will end

1710
01:05:07,109 --> 01:05:06,000
america's dependence on russian engines

1711
01:05:09,670 --> 01:05:07,119
this has been accomplished with

1712
01:05:12,150 --> 01:05:09,680
virtually all private money

1713
01:05:14,710 --> 01:05:12,160
the opportunity before you is to further

1714
01:05:16,069 --> 01:05:14,720
u.s leadership in space by ensuring that

1715
01:05:18,470 --> 01:05:16,079
the united states

1716
01:05:21,349 --> 01:05:18,480
drives the coming economic expansion in

1717
01:05:23,270 --> 01:05:21,359
space this can only be done through

1718
01:05:25,430 --> 01:05:23,280
public private partnerships

1719
01:05:27,190 --> 01:05:25,440
for example our new glenn launch vehicle

1720
01:05:29,349 --> 01:05:27,200
will be more capable than existing

1721
01:05:31,750 --> 01:05:29,359
launch vehicles flying today and can be

1722
01:05:33,829 --> 01:05:31,760
used not only for human space flight and

1723
01:05:36,549 --> 01:05:33,839
other commercial missions but also for

1724
01:05:38,309 --> 01:05:36,559
civil and national security payloads

1725
01:05:40,549 --> 01:05:38,319
therefore we are in early discussions

1726
01:05:43,190 --> 01:05:40,559
with the national security community and

1727
01:05:44,390 --> 01:05:43,200
nasa about how to certify new glenn for

1728
01:05:46,470 --> 01:05:44,400
their use

1729
01:05:48,710 --> 01:05:46,480
we also believe strongly that it is time

1730
01:05:50,549 --> 01:05:48,720
for america to return to the moon the

1731
01:05:52,150 --> 01:05:50,559
moon is a key step on the path to

1732
01:05:54,150 --> 01:05:52,160
long-term exploration of the solar

1733
01:05:56,950 --> 01:05:54,160
system and we have proposed the blue

1734
01:05:59,190 --> 01:05:56,960
moon lunar lander concept as a low-cost

1735
01:06:01,750 --> 01:05:59,200
cargo delivery system to enable nasa and

1736
01:06:04,150 --> 01:06:01,760
commercial activities on the moon blue

1737
01:06:06,150 --> 01:06:04,160
moon can be done within the next five

1738
01:06:09,109 --> 01:06:06,160
years and we are willing to invest

1739
01:06:11,270 --> 01:06:09,119
alongside nasa to make this happen

1740
01:06:13,430 --> 01:06:11,280
such public-private partnerships allow

1741
01:06:14,549 --> 01:06:13,440
the country to meet big objectives

1742
01:06:16,470 --> 01:06:14,559
rapidly

1743
01:06:18,950 --> 01:06:16,480
while also promoting more economic

1744
01:06:20,069 --> 01:06:18,960
development and u.s strategic leadership

1745
01:06:21,750 --> 01:06:20,079

our dream chaser is the next generation

1789
01:08:01,510 --> 01:07:59,599
space shuttle technology

1790
01:08:03,349 --> 01:08:01,520
this multi-mission spacecraft has been

1791
01:08:05,270 --> 01:08:03,359
selected by nasa

1792
01:08:07,670 --> 01:08:05,280
to service the international space

1793
01:08:10,390 --> 01:08:07,680
station dreamchaser is the only

1794
01:08:12,390 --> 01:08:10,400
commercial low earth orbit reusable

1795
01:08:15,190 --> 01:08:12,400
lifting body vehicle

it can launch from many rockets it can

1797
01:08:19,269 --> 01:08:17,679
land on many commercial airports

1798
01:08:20,789 --> 01:08:19,279
it can do many missions including

1799
01:08:22,309 --> 01:08:20,799
international ones

1800
01:08:23,349 --> 01:08:22,319
like the one planned with the united

1801
01:08:25,829 --> 01:08:23,359
nations

1802
01:08:28,229 --> 01:08:25,839
giving 84 member countries affordable

1803
01:08:30,470 --> 01:08:28,239
access to space

1804
01:08:32,950 --> 01:08:30,480
the council is critical to driving a

1805
01:08:34,789 --> 01:08:32,960
unified strategy policy and vision to

1806
01:08:36,470 --> 01:08:34,799
lead in space i will encourage great

1807
01:08:38,470 --> 01:08:36,480
greater cooperation among the three

1808
01:08:40,789 --> 01:08:38,480
recognized space communities

1809
01:08:43,189 --> 01:08:40,799
civil commercial and national security

1810
01:08:45,349 --> 01:08:43,199
to leverage their combined resources for

1811
01:08:47,269 --> 01:08:45,359
commercial space we need to create an

1812
01:08:50,149 --> 01:08:47,279
environment that promotes investment

1813
01:08:51,829 --> 01:08:50,159
manages risk and creates opportunity

1814
01:08:53,590 --> 01:08:51,839
specifically i'll

1815
01:08:54,709 --> 01:08:53,600
ask the council to address the three

1816
01:08:57,349 --> 01:08:54,719
following

1817
01:08:59,590 --> 01:08:57,359
points first infrastructure

1818
01:09:01,510 --> 01:08:59,600
commercial space is booming

1819
01:09:03,030 --> 01:09:01,520
the u.s should lead the effort and

1820
01:09:05,990 --> 01:09:03,040
invest in the building essential

1821
01:09:08,229 --> 01:09:06,000
infrastructure the highways in space for

1822
01:09:10,229 --> 01:09:08,239
a strong space economy the right

1823
01:09:12,709 --> 01:09:10,239
policies and regulations can provide

1824
01:09:15,349 --> 01:09:12,719
oversight and accelerate capital to new

1825
01:09:17,030 --> 01:09:15,359
initiatives creating jobs and markets

1826
01:09:19,110 --> 01:09:17,040
with huge returns including new

1827
01:09:21,189 --> 01:09:19,120
scientific discoveries

1828
01:09:23,030 --> 01:09:21,199
second commercialization

1829
01:09:25,510 --> 01:09:23,040
the global commercial space market is

1830
01:09:28,229 --> 01:09:25,520
valued at over 335 billion dollars a

1831
01:09:30,470 --> 01:09:28,239
year the us has a unique opportunity to

1832
01:09:32,149 --> 01:09:30,480
establish a roadmap based on an open

1833
01:09:33,590 --> 01:09:32,159
architecture framework

1834
01:09:35,829 --> 01:09:33,600
that

1835
01:09:37,110 --> 01:09:35,839
fosters competition and affordability

1836
01:09:39,749 --> 01:09:37,120
this will provide an integrated

1837
01:09:41,829 --> 01:09:39,759
capability that can leverage

1838
01:09:43,910 --> 01:09:41,839
and service civil commercial and

1839
01:09:45,189 --> 01:09:43,920
national security

1840
01:09:46,630 --> 01:09:45,199
and international partners and

1841
01:09:48,550 --> 01:09:46,640
consortiums

1842
01:09:50,630 --> 01:09:48,560
incentives are critical as well to

1843
01:09:53,269 --> 01:09:50,640
stimulate the space economy and ensure

1844
01:09:55,830 --> 01:09:53,279
u.s global leadership for example like a

1845
01:09:57,510 --> 01:09:55,840
free trade zone a space economic zone

1846
01:09:58,790 --> 01:09:57,520
could be created at the international

1847
01:10:02,229 --> 01:09:58,800
space station

1848
01:10:04,229 --> 01:10:02,239
and aboard u.s flag space vehicles

1849
01:10:06,310 --> 01:10:04,239
third and final continuation of the

1850
01:10:08,149 --> 01:10:06,320
international space station the u.s

1851
01:10:10,550 --> 01:10:08,159
should make the decision now

1852
01:10:12,790 --> 01:10:10,560
to continue operating the iss through

1853
01:10:14,630 --> 01:10:12,800
the end of the next decade this was a

1854
01:10:16,870 --> 01:10:14,640
hard lesson learned when we retired the

1855
01:10:19,430 --> 01:10:16,880
space shuttle

1856
01:10:21,350 --> 01:10:19,440
the iss is considered to be a stepping

1857
01:10:23,590 --> 01:10:21,360
stone for exploration

1858
01:10:26,229 --> 01:10:23,600
and we need to preserve it to open new

1859
01:10:29,350 --> 01:10:26,239
doors into space and go to deep space

1860
01:10:31,990 --> 01:10:29,360
in closing let me address the future

1861
01:10:33,990 --> 01:10:32,000
this administration is focused on space

1862
01:10:36,870 --> 01:10:34,000
this will light a fire in our national

1863
01:10:39,189 --> 01:10:36,880
imagination and inspire our children

1864
01:10:41,189 --> 01:10:39,199
after all space is multi-generational

1865
01:10:42,830 --> 01:10:41,199
and a bridge to bring cultures and

1866
01:10:45,669 --> 01:10:42,840
worlds

1867
01:10:49,510 --> 01:10:45,679
together for aaron and me

1868
01:10:51,510 --> 01:10:49,520
snc for enemy our own mission statement

1869
01:10:54,630 --> 01:10:51,520

01:11:22,310 --> 01:11:15,600
thank you again and i look forward to

1881
01:11:27,270 --> 01:11:24,950
well thank you all

1882
01:11:29,510 --> 01:11:27,280
uh thank you all for your words more

1883
01:11:31,350 --> 01:11:29,520
importantly thank you for your uh

1884
01:11:33,990 --> 01:11:31,360
inspiring example

1885
01:11:35,830 --> 01:11:34,000
uh of american ingenuity and creativity

1886
01:11:38,149 --> 01:11:35,840
uh i know

1887
01:11:40,709 --> 01:11:38,159
we're all we're all moved and millions

1888
01:11:42,870 --> 01:11:40,719
of americans follow with great interest

1889
01:11:44,950 --> 01:11:42,880
uh of these companies and and all that

1890
01:11:47,990 --> 01:11:44,960
you've done and uh

1891
01:11:50,149 --> 01:11:48,000
we're honored to have you here

1892
01:11:52,830 --> 01:11:50,159
and uh let let me uh the chair will ask

1893
01:11:56,870 --> 01:11:52,840
a very quick question

1894
01:12:00,550 --> 01:11:56,880
um gwen you talked about regulatory uh

1895
01:12:01,990 --> 01:12:00,560
reform uh fati you talked about um

1896
01:12:04,870 --> 01:12:02,000
uh the kind of regulation that would

1897
01:12:07,430 --> 01:12:04,880
create infrastructure in space a space a

1898
01:12:09,510 --> 01:12:07,440
highway bob you reflected

1899
01:12:11,590 --> 01:12:09,520
on on the same

1900
01:12:12,870 --> 01:12:11,600
making sure that the u.s drives economic

1901
01:12:14,550 --> 01:12:12,880
expansion

1902
01:12:16,830 --> 01:12:14,560
in space can

1903
01:12:18,550 --> 01:12:16,840
anyone on the panel speak briefly to

1904
01:12:20,149 --> 01:12:18,560
[Music]

1905
01:12:27,270 --> 01:12:20,159
what

1906
01:12:29,350 --> 01:12:27,280
omb commerce transportation

1907
01:12:31,669 --> 01:12:29,360
in the area of regulatory reform and i

1908
01:12:33,350 --> 01:12:31,679
believe the testimony was that we we

1909
01:12:35,270 --> 01:12:33,360
have not updated

1910
01:12:37,030 --> 01:12:35,280
regulations with regard to space since

1911
01:12:40,550 --> 01:12:37,040
the days of apollo

1912
01:12:41,990 --> 01:12:40,560
and gwen since you raised the issue

1913
01:12:42,870 --> 01:12:42,000
can each of you speak to that and then

1914
01:12:44,310 --> 01:12:42,880
i'll go to the secretary of

1915
01:12:45,990 --> 01:12:44,320
transportation

1916
01:12:48,470 --> 01:12:46,000
we actually have a detailed white paper

1917
01:12:50,950 --> 01:12:48,480
with some recommended approaches but

1918
01:12:53,590 --> 01:12:50,960
just to give a kind of a very top level

1919
01:12:55,430 --> 01:12:53,600
um we are working well with the faa to

1920
01:12:57,990 --> 01:12:55,440
get our launches licensed however i

1921
01:12:59,910 --> 01:12:58,000
think it requires heroics uh when you

1922
01:13:01,510 --> 01:12:59,920
make any changes to those launch license

1923
01:13:04,550 --> 01:13:01,520
when you have to change a launch pad

1924
01:13:06,709 --> 01:13:04,560
from 40 to 39a or back to 40 you have to

1925
01:13:08,310 --> 01:13:06,719
basically apply for a new license so if

1926
01:13:10,950 --> 01:13:08,320
we could look at the

1927
01:13:13,830 --> 01:13:10,960
the cfr right now and really streamline

1928
01:13:15,990 --> 01:13:13,840
the licensing process to allow for a

1929
01:13:17,910 --> 01:13:16,000
wrap much more rapid cadence of launch

1930
01:13:19,750 --> 01:13:17,920
as we're starting to see this share

1931
01:13:21,430 --> 01:13:19,760
and that will only continue to grow so

1932
01:13:23,350 --> 01:13:21,440
we need to streamline the process we

1933
01:13:26,390 --> 01:13:23,360
need to shorten the timelines

1934
01:13:29,350 --> 01:13:26,400
it takes six months then you reapply 90

1935
01:13:31,350 --> 01:13:29,360
days 30 days and then 15 days to file a

1936
01:13:33,590 --> 01:13:31,360
flight plan i think if the airline

1937
01:13:36,310 --> 01:13:33,600
industry had to follow such regulations

1938
01:13:37,669 --> 01:13:36,320
maybe they'd change faster um but

1939
01:13:38,870 --> 01:13:37,679
those kinds of things the regulations

1940
01:13:40,550 --> 01:13:38,880
are there but they definitely need to be

1941
01:13:42,870 --> 01:13:40,560
streamlined in order to facilitate the

1942
01:13:46,790 --> 01:13:42,880
very rapid cadence of launch

1943
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:51,510
a little technical problem yeah

1944
01:13:55,750 --> 01:13:54,229
there we go sorry about that so the

1945
01:13:57,270 --> 01:13:55,760
fundamental i had the same problem did

1946
01:13:59,750 --> 01:13:57,280
you all right thank you

1947
01:14:01,350 --> 01:13:59,760
well i would just echo what gwen largely

1948
01:14:04,390 --> 01:14:01,360
said but put a finer point on it it

1949
01:14:05,910 --> 01:14:04,400
really comes down to reusability

1950
01:14:08,470 --> 01:14:05,920
that is the difference when you have

1951
01:14:10,149 --> 01:14:08,480
expendable launch capability there are

1952
01:14:12,229 --> 01:14:10,159
existing frameworks by which to handle

1953
01:14:13,830 --> 01:14:12,239
that but once you get into reusability

1954
01:14:16,070 --> 01:14:13,840
now you're into a different regulatory

1955
01:14:18,310 --> 01:14:16,080
regime and so we actually now have

1956
01:14:20,229 --> 01:14:18,320
duplicative uh overlap between the

1957
01:14:22,229 --> 01:14:20,239
united states air force and what we also

1958
01:14:23,830 --> 01:14:22,239
see from the faa so this is a good

1959
01:14:25,590 --> 01:14:23,840
opportunity for actually to go change

1960
01:14:27,350 --> 01:14:25,600
that regulatory environment because

1961
01:14:28,709 --> 01:14:27,360
reusability will be the thing that

1962
01:14:30,630 --> 01:14:28,719
actually changes the economics of

1963
01:14:33,590 --> 01:14:30,640
getting to space and having millions of

1964
01:14:36,950 --> 01:14:35,030
in terms of your question for

1965
01:14:38,550 --> 01:14:36,960
infrastructure i think uh

1966
01:14:39,910 --> 01:14:38,560
i was excited when i heard about the

1967
01:14:40,950 --> 01:14:39,920
trillion dollar infrastructure

1968
01:14:42,390 --> 01:14:40,960
investment

1969
01:14:44,310 --> 01:14:42,400
that was promised

1970
01:14:45,990 --> 01:14:44,320
just a fraction of that could be

1971
01:14:47,590 --> 01:14:46,000
invested in space

1972
01:14:49,750 --> 01:14:47,600
as well as the earth i mean you build

1973
01:14:51,110 --> 01:14:49,760
roads bridges and

1974
01:14:52,149 --> 01:14:51,120
highways

1975
01:14:54,310 --> 01:14:52,159
but

1976
01:14:56,550 --> 01:14:54,320
you can envision to

1977
01:14:58,630 --> 01:14:56,560
have a toll-free road

1978
01:15:00,229 --> 01:14:58,640
highway in space that we allow other

1979
01:15:03,030 --> 01:15:00,239
people

1980
01:15:05,910 --> 01:15:03,040
many commercial companies creating jobs

1981
01:15:08,070 --> 01:15:05,920
going out there giving them access

1982
01:15:10,149 --> 01:15:08,080
lower the cost of access which our

1983
01:15:13,510 --> 01:15:10,159
colleagues are doing a great job in

1984
01:15:15,110 --> 01:15:13,520
terms of uh inexpensive rockets but uh

1985
01:15:16,630 --> 01:15:15,120
additional infrastructure investment if

1986
01:15:17,830 --> 01:15:16,640
it is made then eventually you can

1987
01:15:20,149 --> 01:15:17,840
charge at all

1988
01:15:22,229 --> 01:15:20,159
and it will be self-sustaining so i i

1989
01:15:24,070 --> 01:15:22,239
think there's a lot of job creative

1990
01:15:26,709 --> 01:15:24,080
creation potential here if we lean

1991
01:15:29,270 --> 01:15:26,719
forward and and lead and reusability

1992
01:15:31,189 --> 01:15:29,280
will be key to lower the access space

1993
01:15:32,790 --> 01:15:31,199
shuttle is the best example sitting here

1994
01:15:35,030 --> 01:15:32,800
like our dream chaser

1995
01:15:36,870 --> 01:15:35,040
has been used over and over and uh i

1996
01:15:39,110 --> 01:15:36,880
think that's eventually going to be like

1997
01:15:41,510 --> 01:15:39,120
airplanes airlines

1998
01:15:43,270 --> 01:15:41,520
carrying people back and forth

1999
01:15:46,070 --> 01:15:43,280
well thank you for that uh secretary of

2000
01:15:48,390 --> 01:15:46,080
transportation elena

2001
01:15:49,110 --> 01:15:48,400
hey gwen great to see you thank you bob

2002
01:15:52,470 --> 01:15:49,120
and

2003
01:15:55,030 --> 01:15:52,480
remarks as well

2004
01:15:57,189 --> 01:15:55,040
gwen it was so interesting to visit your

2005
01:15:59,590 --> 01:15:57,199
facilities out in los angeles

2006
01:16:00,709 --> 01:15:59,600
it was really like a visit to the future

2007
01:16:02,790 --> 01:16:00,719
you know one of the most interesting

2008
01:16:06,550 --> 01:16:02,800
potential applications of commercial

2009
01:16:10,630 --> 01:16:06,560
space is this idea of flying passengers

2010
01:16:12,550 --> 01:16:10,640
like to any city on earth in 30 minutes

2011
01:16:14,470 --> 01:16:12,560
that that sounds like something you know

2012
01:16:16,149 --> 01:16:14,480
that would completely obviously

2013
01:16:18,550 --> 01:16:16,159
revolutionize long distance

2014
01:16:20,630 --> 01:16:18,560
transportation so can you share with us

2015
01:16:24,550 --> 01:16:20,640
a little bit as to what the vision is

2016
01:16:27,350 --> 01:16:24,560
and how this new future would look

2017
01:16:30,149 --> 01:16:27,360
thank you madam secretary last week

2018
01:16:32,470 --> 01:16:30,159
elon announced uh or basically gave an

2019
01:16:33,830 --> 01:16:32,480
update on the big falcon rocket program

2020
01:16:36,070 --> 01:16:33,840
big falcon rocket and big falcon

2021
01:16:38,070 --> 01:16:36,080
spaceship that program was meant to

2022
01:16:39,750 --> 01:16:38,080
complement the existing launch vehicle

2023
01:16:41,750 --> 01:16:39,760
suite that we have which is falcon 9

2024
01:16:43,189 --> 01:16:41,760
which is flying regularly now falcon

2025
01:16:46,709 --> 01:16:43,199
heavy which will start flying very

2026
01:16:48,390 --> 01:16:46,719
shortly and then the the bfr system

2027
01:16:50,390 --> 01:16:48,400
complements it and gets us through the

2028
01:16:53,590 --> 01:16:50,400
full suite of national security space

2029
01:16:55,910 --> 01:16:53,600
launch it also enables much larger

2030
01:16:58,550 --> 01:16:55,920
passenger carrying vehicles the dragon

2031
01:16:59,669 --> 01:16:58,560
spacecraft which we will fly

2032
01:17:01,030 --> 01:16:59,679
shortly

2033
01:17:03,030 --> 01:17:01,040
for crew

2034
01:17:05,350 --> 01:17:03,040
can carry up to seven people for nasa

2035
01:17:07,510 --> 01:17:05,360
we're flying four people bfr is planned

2036
01:17:08,709 --> 01:17:07,520
to fly hundreds of people both to low

2037
01:17:11,189 --> 01:17:08,719
earth orbit

2038
01:17:14,229 --> 01:17:11,199
our ultimate destination is mars but

2039
01:17:16,070 --> 01:17:14,239
that system is being designed also to do

2040
01:17:17,990 --> 01:17:16,080
kind of earth hops and those are some of

2041
01:17:23,590 --> 01:17:18,000
the first tests that you'll actually see

2042
01:17:27,910 --> 01:17:25,350
others on the panel

2043
01:17:31,030 --> 01:17:27,920
to the overall theme

2044
01:17:32,870 --> 01:17:31,040
you had actually a contract from far

2045
01:17:34,390 --> 01:17:32,880
east country in terms of transporting

2046
01:17:37,270 --> 01:17:34,400
from

2047
01:17:39,510 --> 01:17:37,280
indonesia to puerto rico

2048
01:17:41,430 --> 01:17:39,520
we did a study several million dollars

2049
01:17:42,709 --> 01:17:41,440
and that's a great possibility it was

2050
01:17:45,830 --> 01:17:42,719
taking about

2051
01:17:48,070 --> 01:17:45,840
45 minutes a very short time it's

2052
01:17:49,669 --> 01:17:48,080
expensive right now but i think if you

2053
01:17:51,830 --> 01:17:49,679
look into the future it will be

2054
01:17:52,709 --> 01:17:51,840
affordable

2055
01:17:55,590 --> 01:17:52,719
uh

2056
01:17:57,270 --> 01:17:55,600
thank you madam secretary anything else

2057
01:18:08,060 --> 01:17:57,280
well good uh let me go to the secretary

2058
01:18:08,070 --> 01:18:18,630
[Music]

2059
01:18:27,990 --> 01:18:20,790
through noaa operates

2060
01:18:31,270 --> 01:18:28,000
satellites 11 for civil use

2061
01:18:33,590 --> 01:18:31,280
mostly weather and and earth mapping and

2062
01:18:36,470 --> 01:18:33,600
five for the air force

2063
01:18:38,149 --> 01:18:36,480
and we've had a lot of prop partnerships

2064
01:18:41,510 --> 01:18:38,159
with other countries and with some

2065
01:18:44,470 --> 01:18:41,520
private sector and i've been intrigued

2066
01:18:47,030 --> 01:18:44,480
that in low gravity and no gravity

2067
01:18:49,990 --> 01:18:47,040
environments materials take on different

2068
01:18:52,790 --> 01:18:50,000
properties from what they have here on

2069
01:18:55,750 --> 01:18:52,800
earth and i wonder is that an area that

2070
01:18:57,350 --> 01:18:55,760
you think is ripe for commercialization

2071
01:19:00,310 --> 01:18:57,360
or are there other

2072
01:19:02,550 --> 01:19:00,320
segments of space that are more ripe so

2073
01:19:05,270 --> 01:19:02,560
that we really can have public-private

2074
01:19:07,669 --> 01:19:05,280
partnerships in meaningful dollars

2075
01:19:09,510 --> 01:19:07,679
because so far the monies we've gotten

2076
01:19:12,790 --> 01:19:09,520
really haven't been big dollars in the

2077
01:19:18,630 --> 01:19:15,270
can i answer that

2078
01:19:20,790 --> 01:19:18,640
that's a very exciting area because

2079
01:19:22,870 --> 01:19:20,800
we have so many requests

2080
01:19:25,189 --> 01:19:22,880
as part of our commercialization of the

2081
01:19:27,910 --> 01:19:25,199
dream chaser program outside of nasa

2082
01:19:29,830 --> 01:19:27,920
from pharmaceutical companies and

2083
01:19:32,229 --> 01:19:29,840
building new materials in space growing

2084
01:19:34,550 --> 01:19:32,239
crystals that are not possible under

2085
01:19:36,390 --> 01:19:34,560
earth conditions but microgravity allows

2086
01:19:38,149 --> 01:19:36,400
you to do that so there's so many

2087
01:19:40,310 --> 01:19:38,159
possible industrial

2088
01:19:42,070 --> 01:19:40,320
potential including 3d printing in space

2089
01:19:43,590 --> 01:19:42,080
that can allow you to do other things

2090
01:19:46,070 --> 01:19:43,600
that you couldn't do

2091
01:19:48,149 --> 01:19:46,080
industrially on earth so it is a very

2092
01:19:50,550 --> 01:19:48,159
exciting area that it i believe it's

2093
01:19:52,950 --> 01:19:50,560
going to be a big economic stimulus

2094
01:19:54,709 --> 01:19:52,960
eventually

2095
01:19:56,149 --> 01:19:54,719
i would just add that if you look

2096
01:19:57,590 --> 01:19:56,159
broadly within the

2097
01:19:59,270 --> 01:19:57,600
what the commercial activities are going

2098
01:20:01,270 --> 01:19:59,280
to be

2099
01:20:02,630 --> 01:20:01,280
a continuation of what we're doing today

2100
01:20:04,310 --> 01:20:02,640
is very much what's going to happen in

2101
01:20:06,229 --> 01:20:04,320
the near term so we're going to have

2102
01:20:07,430 --> 01:20:06,239
observation satellites and communication

2103
01:20:09,830 --> 01:20:07,440
satellites that's obviously going to be

2104
01:20:12,149 --> 01:20:09,840
a key commercial customer but the next

2105
01:20:14,229 --> 01:20:12,159
one for blue origin is going to be space

2106
01:20:15,430 --> 01:20:14,239
tourism so within the next 18 months

2107
01:20:17,430 --> 01:20:15,440
we're going to be launching humans into

2108
01:20:18,950 --> 01:20:17,440
space and this won't be

2109
01:20:20,629 --> 01:20:18,960
astronauts people that we've been

2110
01:20:21,750 --> 01:20:20,639
trained and specialized within an area

2111
01:20:24,310 --> 01:20:21,760
but these are going to be everyday

2112
01:20:26,470 --> 01:20:24,320
citizens um so that that by itself is

2113
01:20:28,149 --> 01:20:26,480
going to open up new ways of actually

2114
01:20:30,390 --> 01:20:28,159
thinking about commerce into space was

2115
01:20:32,470 --> 01:20:30,400
going to be very exciting beyond that as

2116
01:20:34,629 --> 01:20:32,480
we reduce the overall

2117
01:20:37,270 --> 01:20:34,639
cost of getting to space many of those

2118
01:20:39,350 --> 01:20:37,280
things come to play such as space power

2119
01:20:40,950 --> 01:20:39,360
manufacturing in space and using a lot

2120
01:20:43,270 --> 01:20:40,960
of and exploiting a lot of the resources

2121
01:20:45,189 --> 01:20:43,280
that are actually in space today so i

2122
01:20:46,470 --> 01:20:45,199
think once we get to those

2123
01:20:47,669 --> 01:20:46,480
first three levels then we're going to

2124
01:20:49,510 --> 01:20:47,679
be able to actually go a little bit

2125
01:20:51,430 --> 01:20:49,520
further and faster in terms of actually

2126
01:20:54,790 --> 01:20:51,440
getting higher economic activity in that

2127
01:20:58,390 --> 01:20:56,790
i do believe strongly that once you put

2128
01:21:02,310 --> 01:20:58,400
people

2129
01:21:03,990 --> 01:21:02,320
orbit and beyond the space enterprise

2130
01:21:06,709 --> 01:21:04,000
will proliferate in ways that we can't

2131
01:21:08,550 --> 01:21:06,719
even imagine right now

2132
01:21:10,550 --> 01:21:08,560
very well so thank you mr secretary if

2133
01:21:13,189 --> 01:21:10,560
you have nothing else

2134
01:21:13,199 --> 01:21:16,790
just been shut off again

2135
01:21:20,870 --> 01:21:19,030
that that was my big set of questions

2136
01:21:23,590 --> 01:21:20,880
the other one though was

2137
01:21:25,750 --> 01:21:23,600
when we have international partnerships

2138
01:21:29,030 --> 01:21:25,760
how do you modulate it so that we make

2139
01:21:31,510 --> 01:21:29,040
sure we keep control and we keep our

2140
01:21:36,070 --> 01:21:31,520
leadership position as opposed to

2141
01:21:41,189 --> 01:21:38,550
secretary tillerson has a very robust

2142
01:21:44,070 --> 01:21:41,199
set of rules called itar which prevents

2143
01:21:46,149 --> 01:21:44,080
the proliferation of technology to

2144
01:21:48,390 --> 01:21:46,159
countries uh outside the united states

2145
01:21:52,149 --> 01:21:48,400
no no i didn't mean the export of

2146
01:21:55,189 --> 01:21:52,159
technology we have bis so i'm well aware

2147
01:21:58,950 --> 01:21:55,199
of the limits on that i was talking

2148
01:22:02,310 --> 01:21:58,960
about if somebody pays very small rent

2149
01:22:04,550 --> 01:22:02,320
to use a space on a space station

2150
01:22:06,390 --> 01:22:04,560
and develops a product how do we get

2151
01:22:08,390 --> 01:22:06,400
some benefit out of it rather than it

2152
01:22:13,350 --> 01:22:08,400
being the third party or the

2153
01:22:17,189 --> 01:22:15,270
well if i i can try to answer that

2154
01:22:18,950 --> 01:22:17,199
because we are right now in the process

2155
01:22:20,629 --> 01:22:18,960
of working with united nations as i

2156
01:22:24,470 --> 01:22:20,639
referred earlier they signed an

2157
01:22:26,629 --> 01:22:24,480
agreement with us to the mission in 2021

2158
01:22:28,550 --> 01:22:26,639
with 84 countries who cannot afford

2159
01:22:30,390 --> 01:22:28,560
access to space there are a lot of

2160
01:22:32,790 --> 01:22:30,400
universities and

2161
01:22:35,030 --> 01:22:32,800
experimentation lined up to to be

2162
01:22:37,830 --> 01:22:35,040
included in that mission everybody pays

2163
01:22:38,709 --> 01:22:37,840
a small part to be a part of that but we

2164
01:22:41,510 --> 01:22:38,719
are

2165
01:22:43,750 --> 01:22:41,520
managing

2166
01:22:45,750 --> 01:22:43,760
who can get on there what's going to be

2167
01:22:48,390 --> 01:22:45,760
the outcome ip management rights and

2168
01:22:50,390 --> 01:22:48,400
those are evolving but we have a

2169
01:22:52,070 --> 01:22:50,400
tangible example right now right around

2170
01:22:53,669 --> 01:22:52,080
the corner for that mission that's going

2171
01:22:55,189 --> 01:22:53,679
to be very interesting to prove that but

2172
01:22:57,110 --> 01:22:55,199
i am excited because it's the u.s

2173
01:22:58,870 --> 01:22:57,120
leadership it's our airplane

2174
01:23:00,870 --> 01:22:58,880
american space plane

2175
01:23:03,110 --> 01:23:00,880
taking these nations and experiments in

2176
01:23:05,830 --> 01:23:03,120
space so we will have

2177
01:23:07,830 --> 01:23:05,840
more say on this than if he left let

2178
01:23:09,590 --> 01:23:07,840
somebody else do like chinese set up a

2179
01:23:15,110 --> 01:23:09,600
space station free access and everybody

2180
01:23:20,070 --> 01:23:18,070
thank you thank you mr secretary um

2181
01:23:22,149 --> 01:23:20,080
recognize the secretary of state and

2182
01:23:23,590 --> 01:23:22,159
then a wrap up question from the

2183
01:23:25,590 --> 01:23:23,600
director

2184
01:23:27,590 --> 01:23:25,600
of omb before we move on to our final

2185
01:23:29,110 --> 01:23:27,600
panel and i will say gwen

2186
01:23:30,390 --> 01:23:29,120
that the secretary of state would

2187
01:23:36,629 --> 01:23:30,400
greatly welcome

2188
01:23:40,310 --> 01:23:38,310
30 minutes to destinations around the

2189
01:23:41,830 --> 01:23:40,320
world would be great mr secretary i'm

2190
01:23:44,070 --> 01:23:41,840
all in

2191
01:23:46,070 --> 01:23:44,080
uh kind of picking up on

2192
01:23:48,629 --> 01:23:46,080
several comments

2193
01:23:50,709 --> 01:23:48,639
around regulatory obstacles but i want

2194
01:23:52,070 --> 01:23:50,719
to go extend that a bit to international

2195
01:23:55,510 --> 01:23:52,080
space law

2196
01:23:57,669 --> 01:23:55,520
and how it

2197
01:23:59,830 --> 01:23:57,679
where it stands today how it develops to

2198
01:24:01,510 --> 01:23:59,840
accommodate how rapidly

2199
01:24:03,910 --> 01:24:01,520
the use of space

2200
01:24:05,990 --> 01:24:03,920
is changing from a commercial

2201
01:24:08,550 --> 01:24:06,000
perspective and

2202
01:24:10,470 --> 01:24:08,560
whether you are encountering obstacles

2203
01:24:12,870 --> 01:24:10,480
from other countries

2204
01:24:14,550 --> 01:24:12,880
in in this space

2205
01:24:17,350 --> 01:24:14,560
in this area of the development of

2206
01:24:19,590 --> 01:24:17,360
international space law and what how do

2207
01:24:22,470 --> 01:24:19,600
we need to be thinking about that from

2208
01:24:24,470 --> 01:24:22,480
our standpoint of diplomacy

2209
01:24:26,470 --> 01:24:24,480
foreign policy

2210
01:24:30,070 --> 01:24:26,480
because obviously we want to create the

2211
01:24:32,470 --> 01:24:30,080
conditions that allow our u.s commercial

2212
01:24:34,709 --> 01:24:32,480
entities to compete and to thrive

2213
01:24:36,950 --> 01:24:34,719
maintain that leadership position regain

2214
01:24:38,550 --> 01:24:36,960
that leadership position so

2215
01:24:41,430 --> 01:24:38,560
kind of pushing this regulatory

2216
01:24:44,470 --> 01:24:41,440
environment out in to now the space

2217
01:24:46,149 --> 01:24:44,480
environment are there areas of concern

2218
01:24:47,430 --> 01:24:46,159
you can identify are obstacles you're

2219
01:24:48,870 --> 01:24:47,440
encountering

2220
01:24:53,750 --> 01:24:48,880
that would be helpful for us to

2221
01:24:58,790 --> 01:24:57,030
i believe with the movement to go beyond

2222
01:25:00,470 --> 01:24:58,800
earth orbit

2223
01:25:03,350 --> 01:25:00,480
the faa is

2224
01:25:05,990 --> 01:25:03,360
undertaking or looking at ways of

2225
01:25:08,709 --> 01:25:06,000
regulating that activity and i wouldn't

2226
01:25:10,310 --> 01:25:08,719
say that we've had any um any issues yet

2227
01:25:11,910 --> 01:25:10,320
but know that there are that these

2228
01:25:13,270 --> 01:25:11,920
things are coming

2229
01:25:15,910 --> 01:25:13,280
and that we will have to have a

2230
01:25:17,830 --> 01:25:15,920
regulatory regime that does cover um

2231
01:25:20,310 --> 01:25:17,840
private missions to the moon private

2232
01:25:22,629 --> 01:25:20,320
missions to mars as well so my guess is

2233
01:25:25,270 --> 01:25:22,639
we are kind of just starting that

2234
01:25:27,990 --> 01:25:25,280
journey and we will be working hopefully

2235
01:25:30,229 --> 01:25:28,000
very closely to make sure that the

2236
01:25:32,229 --> 01:25:30,239
regulatory regime is there for us to do

2237
01:25:35,510 --> 01:25:32,239
work our good work in a very rapid

2238
01:25:39,590 --> 01:25:37,270
i would just add that

2239
01:25:41,430 --> 01:25:39,600
a regular review of what the export

2240
01:25:43,430 --> 01:25:41,440
regime is between department of commerce

2241
01:25:45,350 --> 01:25:43,440
department of state is always

2242
01:25:47,110 --> 01:25:45,360
a good thing to go do those tend to get

2243
01:25:49,669 --> 01:25:47,120
locked in for long periods of time as

2244
01:25:51,270 --> 01:25:49,679
technology advances getting that update

2245
01:25:52,870 --> 01:25:51,280
on a regular basis i think is very

2246
01:25:54,870 --> 01:25:52,880
valuable allows us to actually

2247
01:25:56,709 --> 01:25:54,880
understand where that sharp line is

2248
01:25:59,030 --> 01:25:56,719
because at blue we all tell everyone to

2249
01:26:01,270 --> 01:25:59,040
take one big step away from that red

2250
01:26:02,950 --> 01:26:01,280
line but we want to make sure that we

2251
01:26:05,590 --> 01:26:02,960
actually are doing whatever we can do to

2252
01:26:07,189 --> 01:26:05,600
actually spur commerce second thing to

2253
01:26:08,629 --> 01:26:07,199
to your question is really around the

2254
01:26:10,629 --> 01:26:08,639
outer space treaty the outer space

2255
01:26:12,550 --> 01:26:10,639
treaty is i think a good framework that

2256
01:26:14,390 --> 01:26:12,560
we have today i think it supports what

2257
01:26:15,830 --> 01:26:14,400
we want to go do in the future i think

2258
01:26:17,270 --> 01:26:15,840
there are details that have to be worked

2259
01:26:19,270 --> 01:26:17,280
out on that but that's a discussion that

2260
01:26:20,709 --> 01:26:19,280
i think we can go on as we get closer to

2261
01:26:23,590 --> 01:26:20,719
some of those actually becoming an

2262
01:26:25,750 --> 01:26:23,600
impediment

2263
01:26:27,990 --> 01:26:25,760
i'll just add to that uh

2264
01:26:30,470 --> 01:26:28,000
one quick point that uh it goes back to

2265
01:26:32,149 --> 01:26:30,480
our leadership u.s leadership i think

2266
01:26:34,390 --> 01:26:32,159
right now for instance my company has

2267
01:26:36,950 --> 01:26:34,400
ten international agreements with esa

2268
01:26:39,110 --> 01:26:36,960
jax and everybody else to do this and

2269
01:26:40,470 --> 01:26:39,120
and a lot of them want to come here and

2270
01:26:44,390 --> 01:26:40,480
we want to come to the united states to

2271
01:26:47,270 --> 01:26:44,400
create jobs so to allow them

2272
01:26:50,070 --> 01:26:47,280
to be able to establish here and work

2273
01:26:51,669 --> 01:26:50,080
jointly together to go to outer space

2274
01:26:54,229 --> 01:26:51,679
and i will say that we will leverage

2275
01:26:56,390 --> 01:26:54,239
these agreements with esa and

2276
01:26:57,189 --> 01:26:56,400
canadian space agency and jaxa and other

2277
01:26:59,510 --> 01:26:57,199
ones

2278
01:27:01,990 --> 01:26:59,520
to be able to keep our leadership and

2279
01:27:04,149 --> 01:27:02,000
other countries will have to follow so

2280
01:27:07,030 --> 01:27:04,159
i think there is room for uh improvement

2281
01:27:10,149 --> 01:27:08,870
thank you mr secretary and uh director

2282
01:27:12,390 --> 01:27:10,159
of office management and budget mick

2283
01:27:14,709 --> 01:27:12,400
mulvaney real briefly and i want to stay

2284
01:27:16,070 --> 01:27:14,719
in the regulatory environment here for a

2285
01:27:17,510 --> 01:27:16,080
second which you folks may not be aware

2286
01:27:19,750 --> 01:27:17,520
of is that the vice president presided

2287
01:27:21,110 --> 01:27:19,760
over a deregulatory day just this week

2288
01:27:22,870 --> 01:27:21,120
so you've sort of come to the right

2289
01:27:24,310 --> 01:27:22,880
group

2290
01:27:26,629 --> 01:27:24,320
and i'm fascinated by some of the

2291
01:27:27,990 --> 01:27:26,639
stories already about how regs get in

2292
01:27:29,350 --> 01:27:28,000
your way i would encourage you maybe

2293
01:27:31,030 --> 01:27:29,360
this is more of a recommendation than a

2294
01:27:32,550 --> 01:27:31,040
question because a lot of good questions

2295
01:27:33,590 --> 01:27:32,560
have been asked is that if you folks

2296
01:27:35,030 --> 01:27:33,600
could please

2297
01:27:37,750 --> 01:27:35,040
the office of management budget no one

2298
01:27:39,830 --> 01:27:37,760
understands us which we kind of like um

2299
01:27:41,430 --> 01:27:39,840
one of the things we we have within omb

2300
01:27:43,669 --> 01:27:41,440
is the office of information regulatory

2301
01:27:45,830 --> 01:27:43,679
affairs so we touch just about every reg

2302
01:27:47,350 --> 01:27:45,840
or every d-reg effort within the

2303
01:27:49,110 --> 01:27:47,360
government we're also involved in

2304
01:27:51,270 --> 01:27:49,120
legislating regulatory change or

2305
01:27:54,390 --> 01:27:51,280
legislative change so a few folks could

2306
01:27:56,870 --> 01:27:54,400
be specifically identifying regs that

2307
01:27:59,110 --> 01:27:56,880
are impeding innovation and impeding

2308
01:28:00,790 --> 01:27:59,120
investment specifically identifying

2309
01:28:02,149 --> 01:28:00,800
changes in law keeping in mind there are

2310
01:28:04,070 --> 01:28:02,159
some things that we can do as an

2311
01:28:04,950 --> 01:28:04,080
administration without going to congress

2312
01:28:06,790 --> 01:28:04,960
but there are some things that we

2313
01:28:08,229 --> 01:28:06,800
absolutely can and should go to congress

2314
01:28:09,750 --> 01:28:08,239
to help

2315
01:28:11,590 --> 01:28:09,760
get get some assistance with so if you

2316
01:28:13,510 --> 01:28:11,600
could identify for us

2317
01:28:15,350 --> 01:28:13,520
specific examples as you've done today

2318
01:28:16,790 --> 01:28:15,360
on the difficulties of getting launch

2319
01:28:18,950 --> 01:28:16,800
permission difficulties getting flight

2320
01:28:20,470 --> 01:28:18,960
plans filed difficult duplication

2321
01:28:21,990 --> 01:28:20,480
between various federal agencies by the

2322
01:28:23,669 --> 01:28:22,000
way that's something we hear from a lot

2323
01:28:26,070 --> 01:28:23,679
of different folks who work with the

2324
01:28:28,709 --> 01:28:26,080
government um we we are actually in a

2325
01:28:30,709 --> 01:28:28,719
position to help you in a in a fairly

2326
01:28:31,830 --> 01:28:30,719
short order as far as government service

2327
01:28:34,070 --> 01:28:31,840
goes so thank you for doing this today i

2328
01:28:35,910 --> 01:28:34,080
don't have a question uh mr president

2329
01:28:37,590 --> 01:28:35,920
but i would encourage them to get the

2330
01:28:39,669 --> 01:28:37,600
office of management budget anything

2331
01:28:42,070 --> 01:28:39,679
they can on where they need help on

2332
01:28:44,070 --> 01:28:42,080

as well as director mulvaney

2343
01:29:06,790 --> 01:29:05,440
let's uh i we think uh

2344
01:29:09,110 --> 01:29:06,800
based on this panel and some of the

2345
01:29:12,709 --> 01:29:09,120
reflections it is a time for a full

2346
01:29:15,510 --> 01:29:12,719
review of our regulatory framework

2347
01:29:17,669 --> 01:29:15,520
for commercial space enterprise so would

2348
01:29:19,030 --> 01:29:17,679
would each of you work

2349
01:29:20,470 --> 01:29:19,040
with the executive secretary of the

2350
01:29:22,470 --> 01:29:20,480
council to pull together a plan to

2351
01:29:24,629 --> 01:29:22,480
present to the president the objective

2352
01:29:25,910 --> 01:29:24,639
would be to remove barriers american

2353
01:29:27,750 --> 01:29:25,920
innovation

2354
01:29:29,910 --> 01:29:27,760
by streamlining regulations reducing

2355
01:29:33,030 --> 01:29:29,920
bureaucratic hurdles uh

2356
01:29:34,550 --> 01:29:33,040

inviting me to speak at the meeting and

2403
01:31:43,189 --> 01:31:39,840
to air my views in regard to national

2404
01:31:45,510 --> 01:31:43,199
security space priorities and concerns

2405
01:31:47,750 --> 01:31:45,520
there are many such concerns it is past

2406
01:31:50,470 --> 01:31:47,760
time that we begin to address them

2407
01:31:53,189 --> 01:31:50,480
with both policy and budget

2408
01:31:55,030 --> 01:31:53,199
in my remarks today i will address only

2409
01:31:57,350 --> 01:31:55,040
a few that i consider to be of the

2410
01:31:58,470 --> 01:31:57,360
highest priority

2411
01:32:01,189 --> 01:31:58,480
first

2412
01:32:02,229 --> 01:32:01,199
we need persistent timely

2413
01:32:07,030 --> 01:32:02,239
global

2414
01:32:09,110 --> 01:32:07,040
land sea air and space domain awareness

2415
01:32:11,189 --> 01:32:09,120
we lead the world still in our ability

2416
01:32:13,350 --> 01:32:11,199
to provide exquisite intelligence when

2417
01:32:14,470 --> 01:32:13,360
our focus must be on very specific

2418
01:32:16,470 --> 01:32:14,480
targets

2419
01:32:19,110 --> 01:32:16,480
but increasingly what is needed is less

2420
01:32:22,229 --> 01:32:19,120
exquisite but more timely comprehensive

2421
01:32:24,790 --> 01:32:22,239
and persistent domain awareness

2422
01:32:27,350 --> 01:32:24,800
this can only be done from space

2423
01:32:30,229 --> 01:32:27,360
also it must be recognized that space

2424
01:32:32,790 --> 01:32:30,239
itself is a neglected domain

2425
01:32:34,709 --> 01:32:32,800
to be both blunt and clear

2426
01:32:37,910 --> 01:32:34,719
the united states must know what is

2427
01:32:39,669 --> 01:32:37,920
being launched from where it originates

2428
01:32:41,910 --> 01:32:39,679
to where it is going

2429
01:32:43,910 --> 01:32:41,920
what are its characteristics

2430
01:32:45,270 --> 01:32:43,920
what are its likely purposes

2431
01:32:46,470 --> 01:32:45,280
everywhere

2432
01:32:49,030 --> 01:32:46,480
all the time

2433
01:32:51,270 --> 01:32:49,040
to a level of accuracy sufficient for

2434
01:32:54,149 --> 01:32:51,280
targeting and fire control should that

2435
01:32:55,189 --> 01:32:54,159
be required

2436
01:32:56,870 --> 01:32:55,199
second

2437
01:32:58,709 --> 01:32:56,880
our adversaries

2438
01:33:01,350 --> 01:32:58,719
well understand

2439
01:33:03,350 --> 01:33:01,360
that in today's world our space assets

2440
01:33:05,910 --> 01:33:03,360
are critical to the way in which we

2441
01:33:07,910 --> 01:33:05,920
fight and win wars

2442
01:33:11,350 --> 01:33:07,920
the technological advantage that they

2443
01:33:13,830 --> 01:33:11,360
confer is by itself a deterrent to many

2444
01:33:16,550 --> 01:33:13,840
adversarial actions

2445
01:33:19,270 --> 01:33:16,560
bad actors can be dissuaded if they know

2446
01:33:21,750 --> 01:33:19,280
that they are unlikely to prevail

2447
01:33:23,669 --> 01:33:21,760
thus our space infrastructure has been

2448
01:33:26,229 --> 01:33:23,679
is being and will continue to be

2449
01:33:28,149 --> 01:33:26,239
targeted by those who seek to alter the

2450
01:33:30,390 --> 01:33:28,159
global order while blunting our

2451
01:33:32,470 --> 01:33:30,400
opposition to that

2452
01:33:34,470 --> 01:33:32,480
our adversaries can already and are

2453
01:33:37,590 --> 01:33:34,480
increasing their ability to

2454
01:33:39,830 --> 01:33:37,600
project their power into space

2455
01:33:42,149 --> 01:33:39,840
while we must develop defenses against

2456
01:33:44,709 --> 01:33:42,159
such actions defense by itself will

2457
01:33:47,669 --> 01:33:44,719
always be insufficient

2458
01:33:51,350 --> 01:33:47,679
defense must succeed every time

2459
01:33:53,350 --> 01:33:51,360
the adversary must succeed only once

2460
01:33:56,229 --> 01:33:53,360
accordingly we must develop our own

2461
01:33:58,390 --> 01:33:56,239
capabilities to project power in space

2462
01:34:00,870 --> 01:33:58,400
we must be able to hold adversary space

2463
01:34:02,830 --> 01:34:00,880
capabilities at risk even as they seek

2464
01:34:05,990 --> 01:34:02,840
to do so to

2465
01:34:07,990 --> 01:34:06,000
ours third these new capabilities are

2466
01:34:11,669 --> 01:34:08,000
dependent upon our ability to launch

2467
01:34:13,510 --> 01:34:11,679
them in a reliable timely routine and

2468
01:34:15,350 --> 01:34:13,520
cost effective fashion

2469
01:34:17,030 --> 01:34:15,360
attributes which hardly describe the

2470
01:34:18,470 --> 01:34:17,040
present state of affairs in the space

2471
01:34:20,149 --> 01:34:18,480
launch industry

2472
01:34:22,709 --> 01:34:20,159
it is past time for the national

2473
01:34:24,470 --> 01:34:22,719
security space launch community to take

2474
01:34:25,990 --> 01:34:24,480
control of its requirements and

2475
01:34:28,149 --> 01:34:26,000
capabilities

2476
01:34:30,950 --> 01:34:28,159
and yes commercial providers can offer

2477
01:34:33,030 --> 01:34:30,960
some useful capability but at bottom

2478
01:34:35,910 --> 01:34:33,040
national security space launch bears the

2479
01:34:37,910 --> 01:34:35,920
same relationship to commercial launch

2480
01:34:39,590 --> 01:34:37,920
that military aircraft do to the air

2481
01:34:41,430 --> 01:34:39,600
transport industry

2482
01:34:43,109 --> 01:34:41,440
they share an industrial base but they

2483
01:34:45,189 --> 01:34:43,119
do not share an operational

2484
01:34:47,030 --> 01:34:45,199
infrastructure

2485
01:34:50,550 --> 01:34:47,040
i have been a champion for commercial

2486
01:34:51,990 --> 01:34:50,560
space launch throughout my career

2487
01:34:54,149 --> 01:34:52,000
parenthetically i am the first

2488
01:34:56,709 --> 01:34:54,159
government official ever to buy a

2489
01:35:00,390 --> 01:34:56,719
commercial space launch on purely arms

2490
01:35:02,470 --> 01:35:00,400
length commercial terms

2491
01:35:05,430 --> 01:35:02,480
but always have always done so in the

2492
01:35:08,149 --> 01:35:05,440
context of a carefully formulated risk

2493
01:35:10,390 --> 01:35:08,159
calculus if you agree with me that space

2494
01:35:11,910 --> 01:35:10,400
launches like submarines and aircraft

2495
01:35:14,390 --> 01:35:11,920
carriers a street

2496
01:35:16,790 --> 01:35:14,400
strategic asset for our nation

2497
01:35:19,030 --> 01:35:16,800
then we must also agree to treat it as

2498
01:35:20,790 --> 01:35:19,040
such

2499
01:35:23,350 --> 01:35:20,800
allow me to close by noting that the

2500
01:35:25,590 --> 01:35:23,360
concerns i have addressed by no means

2501
01:35:27,510 --> 01:35:25,600
constitute an exhaustive list they are

2502
01:35:29,590 --> 01:35:27,520
merely those that i consider to be of

2503
01:35:31,830 --> 01:35:29,600
the very highest priority

2504
01:35:34,229 --> 01:35:31,840
but inciting them or any other specific

2505
01:35:35,910 --> 01:35:34,239
issues we must not lose focus on what

2506
01:35:38,550 --> 01:35:35,920
should be the overriding goal of

2507
01:35:40,550 --> 01:35:38,560
national space policy

2508
01:35:42,390 --> 01:35:40,560
the united states has had a leading role

2509
01:35:44,790 --> 01:35:42,400
in world affairs

2510
01:35:47,270 --> 01:35:44,800
and together with our allies

2511
01:35:49,669 --> 01:35:47,280
has promised promoted and generally

2512
01:35:52,229 --> 01:35:49,679
enforced a stable rules-based world

2513
01:35:54,550 --> 01:35:52,239
order for over seven decades

2514
01:35:56,629 --> 01:35:54,560
this power and influence was realized

2515
01:35:58,229 --> 01:35:56,639
through the sacrifices of our world war

2516
01:35:59,750 --> 01:35:58,239
ii generation

2517
01:36:01,669 --> 01:35:59,760
maintained through more than four

2518
01:36:03,350 --> 01:36:01,679
decades of national resolve during the

2519
01:36:05,430 --> 01:36:03,360
cold war

2520
01:36:06,950 --> 01:36:05,440
and renewed in the wake of the 9 11

2521
01:36:09,430 --> 01:36:06,960
attacks

2522
01:36:11,270 --> 01:36:09,440
in today's world the continued exercise

2523
01:36:14,070 --> 01:36:11,280
of that leadership depends critically

2524
01:36:16,229 --> 01:36:14,080
upon maintaining and executing our

2525
01:36:18,390 --> 01:36:16,239
and maintaining and extending our

2526
01:36:19,510 --> 01:36:18,400
preeminence in space in all of its many

2527
01:36:22,310 --> 01:36:19,520
aspects

2528
01:36:24,550 --> 01:36:22,320
our adversaries understand that and are

2529
01:36:26,470 --> 01:36:24,560
actively working to prevent it

2530
01:36:28,390 --> 01:36:26,480
we must work together to ensure that

2531
01:36:31,270 --> 01:36:28,400
they do not succeed

2532
01:36:36,470 --> 01:36:32,709
thank you

2533
01:36:39,270 --> 01:36:36,480
uh the stirring words

2534
01:36:40,390 --> 01:36:39,280
admiral james ellis mr vice president

2535
01:36:42,390 --> 01:36:40,400
and distinguished members of the

2536
01:36:44,550 --> 01:36:42,400
national space council thank you for

2537
01:36:46,790 --> 01:36:44,560
allowing me to appear before you at this

2538
01:36:48,310 --> 01:36:46,800
your inaugural meeting

2539
01:36:51,590 --> 01:36:48,320
the national security of the united

2540
01:36:53,910 --> 01:36:51,600
states is inextricably linked to space

2541
01:36:56,629 --> 01:36:53,920
but the technological advances in an

2542
01:36:59,270 --> 01:36:56,639
increased national security reliance on

2543
01:37:01,030 --> 01:36:59,280
space systems by our joint forces

2544
01:37:03,590 --> 01:37:01,040
allies and partners

2545
01:37:05,030 --> 01:37:03,600
have created a superbly capable critical

2546
01:37:07,030 --> 01:37:05,040
infrastructure

2547
01:37:09,109 --> 01:37:07,040
in space that has not been matched by

2548
01:37:12,550 --> 01:37:09,119
coherent supporting protection

2549
01:37:14,790 --> 01:37:12,560
capabilities lost mitigation strategies

2550
01:37:16,229 --> 01:37:14,800
and clearly articulated national

2551
01:37:17,910 --> 01:37:16,239
policies

2552
01:37:19,669 --> 01:37:17,920
as you've noted mr vice president the

2553
01:37:21,750 --> 01:37:19,679
threats range from sophisticated direct

2554
01:37:23,590 --> 01:37:21,760
descent asap weapons to the

2555
01:37:25,510 --> 01:37:23,600
proliferation of low-tech jammers that

2556
01:37:28,229 --> 01:37:25,520
can disrupt satellite communication

2557
01:37:30,070 --> 01:37:28,239
links without touching the spacecraft

2558
01:37:32,229 --> 01:37:30,080
they include the electromagnetic pulse

2559
01:37:34,790 --> 01:37:32,239
impact of the detonation of a nuclear

2560
01:37:37,109 --> 01:37:34,800
weapon in space but also the potential

2561
01:37:40,070 --> 01:37:37,119
for cyber or terrorist attacks on the

2562
01:37:42,790 --> 01:37:40,080
satellite ground control systems i make

2563
01:37:45,750 --> 01:37:42,800
two points here first not all threats to

2564
01:37:47,910 --> 01:37:45,760
our space assets originate in space and

2565
01:37:49,990 --> 01:37:47,920
not all our defense mitigation and

2566
01:37:51,030 --> 01:37:50,000
deterrence efforts should be focused

2567
01:37:53,030 --> 01:37:51,040
there

2568
01:37:55,669 --> 01:37:53,040
second the ability to threaten our

2569
01:37:58,149 --> 01:37:55,679
national security space assets is not

2570
01:38:00,070 --> 01:37:58,159
solely resident in nation states

2571
01:38:02,870 --> 01:38:00,080
it is also increasingly available to

2572
01:38:04,950 --> 01:38:02,880
non-state actors and individuals

2573
01:38:06,149 --> 01:38:04,960
as with other of our national security

2574
01:38:08,709 --> 01:38:06,159
challenges

2575
01:38:10,870 --> 01:38:08,719
a few dragons have been replaced by a

2576
01:38:12,470 --> 01:38:10,880
hundred snakes

2577
01:38:14,390 --> 01:38:12,480
to capably function in this newly

2578
01:38:16,790 --> 01:38:14,400
contested environment we need enhanced

2579
01:38:18,629 --> 01:38:16,800
and focused space situational space

2580
01:38:21,270 --> 01:38:18,639
intelligence excuse me and space

2581
01:38:23,270 --> 01:38:21,280
situational awareness as my colleague dr

2582
01:38:25,430 --> 01:38:23,280
griffin has noted we also need

2583
01:38:28,709 --> 01:38:25,440
dramatically improved technical and

2584
01:38:30,629 --> 01:38:28,719
tactical capabilities for the warfighter

2585
01:38:33,270 --> 01:38:30,639
we need a coherent architecture to make

2586
01:38:35,990 --> 01:38:33,280
robustness and resilience specified and

2587
01:38:37,350 --> 01:38:36,000
quantified requirements in all elements

2588
01:38:39,510 --> 01:38:37,360
of our systems

2589
01:38:43,669 --> 01:38:39,520
and we need a system reconstitution and

2590
01:38:45,510 --> 01:38:43,679
mitigation capability that is truly

2591
01:38:47,270 --> 01:38:45,520
responsive

2592
01:38:48,950 --> 01:38:47,280
we must include commercial and allied

2593
01:38:51,669 --> 01:38:48,960
partners in these conversations and

2594
01:38:54,149 --> 01:38:51,679
appreciate that if added to all space

2595
01:38:56,709 --> 01:38:54,159
platforms even relatively simple

2596
01:38:58,790 --> 01:38:56,719
technologies such as that motion sensor

2597
01:39:01,350 --> 01:38:58,800
that turns on your garage light when

2598
01:39:03,990 --> 01:39:01,360
someone walks up your driveway can add

2599
01:39:06,870 --> 01:39:04,000
insight and understanding to a global

2600
01:39:08,950 --> 01:39:06,880
space neighborhood watch

2601
01:39:11,270 --> 01:39:08,960
we need better tools to analyze as a

2602
01:39:13,350 --> 01:39:11,280
complete system our space related

2603
01:39:16,390 --> 01:39:13,360
critical infrastructure so that we

2604
01:39:17,669 --> 01:39:16,400
understand where the need is most urgent

2605
01:39:20,709 --> 01:39:17,679
and finally

2606
01:39:22,790 --> 01:39:20,719
we simply must get it all done faster

2607
01:39:26,550 --> 01:39:22,800
because the threats are growing faster

2608
01:39:28,229 --> 01:39:26,560
than our ability to counter them

2609
01:39:30,390 --> 01:39:28,239
a friend of mine once told me that you

2610
01:39:33,430 --> 01:39:30,400
know you are really in a crisis when

2611
01:39:36,950 --> 01:39:33,440
they start waving the rules

2612
01:39:39,430 --> 01:39:36,960
in national security space we are there

2613
01:39:41,830 --> 01:39:39,440
and it's time to appropriately unleash

2614
01:39:46,070 --> 01:39:41,840
our world-class developmental

2615
01:39:49,109 --> 01:39:46,080
manufacturing and operational expertise

2616
01:39:51,350 --> 01:39:49,119
finally in space as in the cyber world

2617
01:39:54,629 --> 01:39:51,360
national security strategies from land

2618
01:39:56,550 --> 01:39:54,639
air and sea do not always translate

2619
01:39:59,510 --> 01:39:56,560
and classic concepts of kinetic

2620
01:40:01,270 --> 01:39:59,520
deterrence may not apply

2621
01:40:03,430 --> 01:40:01,280
a shared understanding of both what we

2622
01:40:05,430 --> 01:40:03,440
are trying to do and what are the limits

2623
01:40:07,189 --> 01:40:05,440
on which we are allowed to do

2624
01:40:09,350 --> 01:40:07,199
is essential

2625
01:40:12,310 --> 01:40:09,360
clear and unambiguous policy and

2626
01:40:14,470 --> 01:40:12,320
strategy guidance from all of you

2627
01:40:17,030 --> 01:40:14,480
will be vital to ensuring we achieve

2628
01:40:18,229 --> 01:40:17,040
unity of purpose and effectiveness of

2629
01:40:19,990 --> 01:40:18,239
outcome

2630
01:40:22,629 --> 01:40:20,000
that clarity is also critical to

2631
01:40:24,709 --> 01:40:22,639
reassuring our allies and deterring

2632
01:40:26,950 --> 01:40:24,719
potential adversaries

2633
01:40:28,629 --> 01:40:26,960
we must lead global efforts to shape

2634
01:40:30,709 --> 01:40:28,639
collective behavior

2635
01:40:33,270 --> 01:40:30,719
and be very clear in our declaratory

2636
01:40:34,629 --> 01:40:33,280
policies about what we stand for in

2637
01:40:38,070 --> 01:40:34,639
space

2638
01:40:40,070 --> 01:40:38,080
and what we will not stand for

2639
01:40:42,470 --> 01:40:40,080
we must not confuse effort with outcome

2640
01:40:44,709 --> 01:40:42,480
or technology with strategy

2641
01:40:47,590 --> 01:40:44,719
in space as on earth

2642
01:40:49,189 --> 01:40:47,600
tactical energy in a strategic vacuum

2643
01:40:51,270 --> 01:40:49,199
no pun intended

2644
01:40:53,430 --> 01:40:51,280
is a recipe for failure

2645
01:40:55,910 --> 01:40:53,440
and in preserving america's national

2646
01:40:58,709 --> 01:40:55,920
security space capabilities and that of

2647
01:41:01,270 --> 01:40:58,719
our partners and allies around the globe

2648
01:41:02,390 --> 01:41:01,280
failure is not an option

2649
01:41:06,870 --> 01:41:02,400
thank you and i look forward to your

2650
01:41:11,510 --> 01:41:09,189
uh thank you admiral for those uh

2651
01:41:12,790 --> 01:41:11,520
very strong remarks we look forward to

2652
01:41:15,430 --> 01:41:12,800
our

2653
01:41:18,149 --> 01:41:15,440
panels discussion momentarily

2654
01:41:20,149 --> 01:41:18,159
with that the chair recognizes

2655
01:41:23,109 --> 01:41:20,159
colonel pamela melroy

2656
01:41:26,310 --> 01:41:23,119
who has a distinguished career

2657
01:41:28,229 --> 01:41:26,320
as an air force test pilot but also

2658
01:41:28,520 --> 01:41:28,239
an astronaut

2659
01:41:29,590 --> 01:41:28,530
who

2660
01:41:32,470 --> 01:41:29,600
[Music]

2661
01:41:34,790 --> 01:41:32,480
piloted the discovery behind me

2662
01:41:36,709 --> 01:41:34,800
in 2000 and was the commander of

2663
01:41:38,790 --> 01:41:36,719
discovery's mission in

2664
01:41:43,189 --> 01:41:38,800
2007 i think that's worth a round of

2665
01:41:43,199 --> 01:41:47,669
for the applause is for discovery

2666
01:41:53,109 --> 01:41:50,709
thank you mr vice president good morning

2667
01:41:54,870 --> 01:41:53,119
mr vice president members of the

2668
01:41:57,270 --> 01:41:54,880
national space council thank you for

2669
01:42:00,229 --> 01:41:57,280
inviting me to speak to you today

2670
01:42:03,510 --> 01:42:00,239
i am deeply concerned about sustaining

2671
01:42:05,910 --> 01:42:03,520
the u.s ability to use our space assets

2672
01:42:09,030 --> 01:42:05,920
to ensure air naval and ground

2673
01:42:12,310 --> 01:42:09,040
superiority and to shore up our

2674
01:42:14,950 --> 01:42:12,320
diminishing space superiority

2675
01:42:17,669 --> 01:42:14,960
speed the tempo of decision and

2676
01:42:20,390 --> 01:42:17,679
information is the problem because our

2677
01:42:22,790 --> 01:42:20,400
adversaries have figured out how to move

2678
01:42:25,510 --> 01:42:22,800
inside our military decision loop and

2679
01:42:27,990 --> 01:42:25,520
our existing precision kill chain is

2680
01:42:29,910 --> 01:42:28,000
inadequate to address many new and

2681
01:42:31,590 --> 01:42:29,920
pressing threats

2682
01:42:33,990 --> 01:42:31,600
you're going to hear me echo several

2683
01:42:35,990 --> 01:42:34,000
comments made by dr griffin and admiral

2684
01:42:38,070 --> 01:42:36,000
ellis i'm going to do a little bit of a

2685
01:42:40,390 --> 01:42:38,080
dive into what i consider the two most

2686
01:42:43,109 --> 01:42:40,400
pressing issues

2687
01:42:45,830 --> 01:42:43,119
the first issue is the tempo of space

2688
01:42:49,189 --> 01:42:45,840
domain awareness knowing what's going on

2689
01:42:51,830 --> 01:42:49,199
in space real time rather than forensic

2690
01:42:53,590 --> 01:42:51,840
information days after the fact

2691
01:42:56,229 --> 01:42:53,600
currently the air force has about a

2692
01:42:58,470 --> 01:42:56,239
dozen dedicated exquisite sensors with

2693
01:43:00,310 --> 01:42:58,480
superb accuracy

2694
01:43:01,830 --> 01:43:00,320
they're scattered widely they can be

2695
01:43:04,790 --> 01:43:01,840
affected by weather

2696
01:43:06,790 --> 01:43:04,800
and can only take periodic snapshots of

2697
01:43:09,750 --> 01:43:06,800
objects in space

2698
01:43:12,629 --> 01:43:09,760
hours and even days go by without

2699
01:43:15,189 --> 01:43:12,639
updates to orbital locations

2700
01:43:18,390 --> 01:43:15,199
today there are emerging threats to our

2701
01:43:19,830 --> 01:43:18,400
spacecraft that can maneuver in minutes

2702
01:43:21,990 --> 01:43:19,840
and hours

2703
01:43:26,470 --> 01:43:22,000
the possibility of missing a dynamic

2704
01:43:28,950 --> 01:43:26,480
threat to our spacecraft is unacceptable

2705
01:43:30,390 --> 01:43:28,960
we have to have more sensors to get more

2706
01:43:32,470 --> 01:43:30,400
frequent updates

2707
01:43:34,950 --> 01:43:32,480
but these sensors don't have to be as

2708
01:43:36,070 --> 01:43:34,960
precise and as expensive as our current

2709
01:43:38,390 --> 01:43:36,080
sensors

2710
01:43:40,870 --> 01:43:38,400
the frequency of observations combined

2711
01:43:42,870 --> 01:43:40,880
with our current sensor data makes up

2712
01:43:45,030 --> 01:43:42,880
for the lack of precision

2713
01:43:47,669 --> 01:43:45,040
the proliferation of commercial space

2714
01:43:49,750 --> 01:43:47,679
surveillance sensors is a potential fit

2715
01:43:52,310 --> 01:43:49,760
for this need

2716
01:43:54,870 --> 01:43:52,320
the second area where increased tempo is

2717
01:43:57,750 --> 01:43:54,880
needed is tactical intelligence to

2718
01:44:00,390 --> 01:43:57,760
support the ability to find a target

2719
01:44:02,950 --> 01:44:00,400
track and engage it as well as to

2720
01:44:04,950 --> 01:44:02,960
perform battle damage assessment the

2721
01:44:07,430 --> 01:44:04,960
entire kill chain

2722
01:44:09,910 --> 01:44:07,440
in recent decades we've become expert at

2723
01:44:12,310 --> 01:44:09,920
using air assets to supply information

2724
01:44:14,870 --> 01:44:12,320
for our precision weapon systems

2725
01:44:16,790 --> 01:44:14,880
in the future we can't assume a

2726
01:44:18,550 --> 01:44:16,800
permissive operating environment for

2727
01:44:21,030 --> 01:44:18,560
those air assets

2728
01:44:23,830 --> 01:44:21,040
now we do have truly magnificent space

2729
01:44:26,229 --> 01:44:23,840
capability for strategic intelligence

2730
01:44:27,590 --> 01:44:26,239
critical for the planning awareness and

2731
01:44:30,070 --> 01:44:27,600
attribution

2732
01:44:31,109 --> 01:44:30,080
however this capability is spread very

2733
01:44:33,590 --> 01:44:31,119
thin

2734
01:44:37,750 --> 01:44:33,600
cannot be redirected in short tactical

2735
01:44:39,350 --> 01:44:37,760
time scales and may now be held at risk

2736
01:44:41,350 --> 01:44:39,360
additionally our command and control

2737
01:44:44,550 --> 01:44:41,360
structure isn't designed to absorb and

2738
01:44:46,790 --> 01:44:44,560
disseminate information quickly at large

2739
01:44:49,350 --> 01:44:46,800
geographic scales such as the pacific

2740
01:44:51,109 --> 01:44:49,360
region or for multiple concurrent

2741
01:44:54,149 --> 01:44:51,119
operations

2742
01:44:56,629 --> 01:44:54,159
enhancing our architecture with low-cost

2743
01:44:59,510 --> 01:44:56,639
small satellite constellations can

2744
01:45:01,270 --> 01:44:59,520
provide persistence and re-tasking on

2745
01:45:03,189 --> 01:45:01,280
short time scales

2746
01:45:05,590 --> 01:45:03,199
these constellations should be under the

2747
01:45:08,229 --> 01:45:05,600
direct control of the warfighter as

2748
01:45:09,910 --> 01:45:08,239
tactical intelligence assets

2749
01:45:13,189 --> 01:45:09,920
these constellations must have

2750
01:45:15,189 --> 01:45:13,199
collection algorithms onboard processing

2751
01:45:18,550 --> 01:45:15,199
and dissemination of information

2752
01:45:20,550 --> 01:45:18,560
directly to cockpits and ship bridges

2753
01:45:23,109 --> 01:45:20,560
without humans in the loop

2754
01:45:25,350 --> 01:45:23,119
enabling us to compress that kill chain

2755
01:45:26,629 --> 01:45:25,360
in a denied environment

2756
01:45:32,070 --> 01:45:26,639
thank you and i look forward to your

2757
01:45:36,470 --> 01:45:33,990
thank you very much colonel

2758
01:45:39,669 --> 01:45:36,480
and to all the members of the panel

2759
01:45:41,270 --> 01:45:39,679
uh before we get to members of uh the

2760
01:45:43,350 --> 01:45:41,280
national space council the chair would

2761
01:45:45,109 --> 01:45:43,360
just

2762
01:45:47,830 --> 01:45:45,119
pose a question given each of your

2763
01:45:49,270 --> 01:45:47,840
extraordinary background uh in in this

2764
01:45:51,189 --> 01:45:49,280
area

2765
01:45:56,390 --> 01:45:51,199
uh with regard to national security and

2766
01:46:01,189 --> 01:45:58,070
there's much talk it seems in the public

2767
01:46:02,950 --> 01:46:01,199
about not wanting to militarize

2768
01:46:04,390 --> 01:46:02,960
uh space

2769
01:46:06,709 --> 01:46:04,400
uh but

2770
01:46:07,750 --> 01:46:06,719
uh is is it

2771
01:46:10,149 --> 01:46:07,760
is it

2772
01:46:13,510 --> 01:46:10,159
accurate for the lay person to know that

2773
01:46:15,189 --> 01:46:13,520
that from the time sputnik went up we

2774
01:46:16,870 --> 01:46:15,199
to one degree or another have

2775
01:46:18,870 --> 01:46:16,880
militarized space

2776
01:46:19,750 --> 01:46:18,880
and that um

2777
01:46:21,750 --> 01:46:19,760
uh

2778
01:46:23,350 --> 01:46:21,760
the question for is whether we

2779
01:46:26,629 --> 01:46:23,360
weaponized

2780
01:46:27,669 --> 01:46:26,639
space at this point and

2781
01:46:41,030 --> 01:46:27,679
i

2782
01:46:42,629 --> 01:46:41,040
to space uh are

2783
01:46:44,709 --> 01:46:42,639
are our adversaries and potential

2784
01:46:48,070 --> 01:46:44,719
adversaries moving

2785
01:46:50,390 --> 01:46:48,080
toward weaponizing uh space uh in ways

2786
01:46:52,390 --> 01:46:50,400
that should inform our development of

2787
01:46:57,510 --> 01:46:52,400
national policy

2788
01:47:01,590 --> 01:46:59,669
i guess i'll start uh

2789
01:47:04,950 --> 01:47:01,600
the choice as to whether or not to

2790
01:47:06,790 --> 01:47:04,960
weaponize space is not one that we

2791
01:47:10,149 --> 01:47:06,800
can make

2792
01:47:12,390 --> 01:47:10,159
we can only decide to match

2793
01:47:15,109 --> 01:47:12,400
and raise our adversaries who are

2794
01:47:17,030 --> 01:47:15,119
already weaponizing space

2795
01:47:19,270 --> 01:47:17,040
i would add that space was first

2796
01:47:21,270 --> 01:47:19,280
weaponized during world war ii with the

2797
01:47:25,109 --> 01:47:21,280
german v2

2798
01:47:31,430 --> 01:47:29,030
that course is long out of the barn

2799
01:47:34,390 --> 01:47:31,440
our best chance for avoiding

2800
01:47:36,390 --> 01:47:34,400
future conflict in space

2801
01:47:38,870 --> 01:47:36,400
and frankly its collaterally related

2802
01:47:42,470 --> 01:47:38,880
conflicts on earth

2803
01:47:47,030 --> 01:47:42,480
is to be and to appear to be so strong

2804
01:47:50,390 --> 01:47:48,310
admiral

2805
01:47:52,070 --> 01:47:50,400
thank you mr vice president uh

2806
01:47:54,310 --> 01:47:52,080
i think as uh

2807
01:47:56,229 --> 01:47:54,320
as you know there are parallels historic

2808
01:47:58,229 --> 01:47:56,239
perhaps with the maritime domain and

2809
01:48:00,149 --> 01:47:58,239
virtually every arena in which the

2810
01:48:02,070 --> 01:48:00,159
united states and

2811
01:48:03,990 --> 01:48:02,080
before that nations around the world

2812
01:48:06,229 --> 01:48:04,000
operated and exerted influence has

2813
01:48:08,950 --> 01:48:06,239
progressed through a series that moved

2814
01:48:11,350 --> 01:48:08,960
from initially exploration and then

2815
01:48:14,149 --> 01:48:11,360
commerce and ultimately potential

2816
01:48:15,830 --> 01:48:14,159
conflict we hope as we all do to avoid

2817
01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:15,840
that conflict in space but as i

2818
01:48:19,270 --> 01:48:18,000
mentioned in my remarks it's entirely

2819
01:48:21,669 --> 01:48:19,280
appropriate that we appreciate the

2820
01:48:24,149 --> 01:48:21,679
difference between militarization and

2821
01:48:26,070 --> 01:48:24,159
weaponization we understand the reliance

2822
01:48:28,470 --> 01:48:26,080
as you've heard from my colleagues here

2823
01:48:31,030 --> 01:48:28,480
on the panel that our national security

2824
01:48:33,590 --> 01:48:31,040
architecture has on on those space

2825
01:48:35,990 --> 01:48:33,600
elements and that we move uh uh

2826
01:48:38,790 --> 01:48:36,000
effectively and uh and with forethought

2827
01:48:41,430 --> 01:48:38,800
to uh to ensure that we are preserving

2828
01:48:43,430 --> 01:48:41,440
those capabilities so uh we in the

2829
01:48:45,910 --> 01:48:43,440
military as as a retired guy i think

2830
01:48:47,750 --> 01:48:45,920
i'll still say that proudly

2831
01:48:50,070 --> 01:48:47,760
you have to deal with capabilities not

2832
01:48:52,310 --> 01:48:50,080
with intent and the capabilities are

2833
01:48:53,830 --> 01:48:52,320
well known uh their growth

2834
01:48:56,390 --> 01:48:53,840
as you've articulated in your opening

2835
01:48:58,550 --> 01:48:56,400
remarks is well documented we can't

2836
01:49:01,189 --> 01:48:58,560
predict the intent john f kennedy in

2837
01:49:02,070 --> 01:49:01,199
1962 said it's up to us to define

2838
01:49:04,229 --> 01:49:02,080
whether

2839
01:49:06,070 --> 01:49:04,239
the space domain becomes a an ocean of

2840
01:49:08,070 --> 01:49:06,080
peace as he called it or an area of

2841
01:49:10,390 --> 01:49:08,080
conflict we have that choice along with

2842
01:49:12,390 --> 01:49:10,400
our allies but deterrent concepts

2843
01:49:14,470 --> 01:49:12,400
understanding of what our policies are

2844
01:49:16,550 --> 01:49:14,480
and and what as i said in my remarks

2845
01:49:18,709 --> 01:49:16,560
what we what we stand for in space in

2846
01:49:20,870 --> 01:49:18,719
terms of norms and acceptable behaviors

2847
01:49:22,310 --> 01:49:20,880
and what we simply will not stand for is

2848
01:49:24,629 --> 01:49:22,320
going to be an essential element of

2849
01:49:26,470 --> 01:49:24,639
guaranteeing the continued access not

2850
01:49:27,910 --> 01:49:26,480
just for national security purposes but

2851
01:49:29,830 --> 01:49:27,920
as you've heard from the previous panels

2852
01:49:31,350 --> 01:49:29,840
for economic and uh and research

2853
01:49:33,589 --> 01:49:31,360
purposes as well

2854
01:49:36,629 --> 01:49:33,599
thank you colonel

2855
01:49:38,629 --> 01:49:36,639
i think uh dr griffin and admiral ellis

2856
01:49:40,629 --> 01:49:38,639
have said um

2857
01:49:42,070 --> 01:49:40,639
quite clearly what i totally agree with

2858
01:49:44,149 --> 01:49:42,080
which is that

2859
01:49:45,109 --> 01:49:44,159
this is not our choice it's it's already

2860
01:49:46,470 --> 01:49:45,119
happened

2861
01:49:49,030 --> 01:49:46,480
and

2862
01:49:51,270 --> 01:49:49,040
i do want to add one comment about the

2863
01:49:52,470 --> 01:49:51,280
critical nature of attribution

2864
01:49:54,070 --> 01:49:52,480
so

2865
01:49:55,669 --> 01:49:54,080
attribution is important for a lot of

2866
01:49:56,870 --> 01:49:55,679
different reasons

2867
01:49:59,589 --> 01:49:56,880
one is

2868
01:50:01,350 --> 01:49:59,599
just to be able to clearly state

2869
01:50:02,870 --> 01:50:01,360
when a bad actor has done something and

2870
01:50:05,030 --> 01:50:02,880
what they have done

2871
01:50:07,589 --> 01:50:05,040
but i think it's also important as

2872
01:50:10,950 --> 01:50:07,599
admiral ellis put it so eloquently what

2873
01:50:13,510 --> 01:50:10,960
we won't stand for and the attribution

2874
01:50:15,589 --> 01:50:13,520
has to be a critical element of that

2875
01:50:17,669 --> 01:50:15,599
i think thank you colonel i we have a

2876
01:50:20,629 --> 01:50:17,679
number of members of the council that

2877
01:50:25,510 --> 01:50:20,639
have uh questions but i appreciate your

2878
01:50:29,910 --> 01:50:26,229
and

2879
01:50:31,510 --> 01:50:29,920
clear the line between militarization

2880
01:50:34,790 --> 01:50:31,520
and weaponization

2881
01:50:37,910 --> 01:50:34,800
that uh but i i'm i'm uh

2882
01:50:39,990 --> 01:50:37,920
uh i find uh myself in strong agreement

2883
01:50:42,950 --> 01:50:40,000
with each of your echo about them

2884
01:50:43,990 --> 01:50:42,960
thereby the importance of deterrence

2885
01:50:46,310 --> 01:50:44,000
um

2886
01:50:48,629 --> 01:50:46,320
for keeping it an ocean of peace

2887
01:50:50,830 --> 01:50:48,639
uh the director of uh

2888
01:50:53,669 --> 01:50:50,840
national intelligence dan coats

2889
01:50:55,109 --> 01:50:53,679
recognized mr vice president thank you

2890
01:50:56,550 --> 01:50:55,119
particularly

2891
01:50:57,910 --> 01:50:56,560
of course i've paid attention to every

2892
01:50:59,750 --> 01:50:57,920
panel but

2893
01:51:01,830 --> 01:50:59,760
particularly keen attention to what was

2894
01:51:04,870 --> 01:51:01,840
just said with this panel

2895
01:51:08,070 --> 01:51:04,880
um the intelligence community

2896
01:51:10,870 --> 01:51:08,080
understands that um

2897
01:51:12,790 --> 01:51:10,880
our dominance in space relative to the

2898
01:51:15,430 --> 01:51:12,800
intelligence that we need

2899
01:51:17,270 --> 01:51:15,440
to keep america safe and informed

2900
01:51:19,750 --> 01:51:17,280
whether it's our fighters or whether

2901
01:51:22,790 --> 01:51:19,760
it's our national assets

2902
01:51:24,950 --> 01:51:22,800
is of critical importance

2903
01:51:28,550 --> 01:51:24,960
the dominance that we've had in space

2904
01:51:32,310 --> 01:51:30,070
at least

2905
01:51:33,510 --> 01:51:32,320
on the way to being equaled or perhaps

2906
01:51:37,270 --> 01:51:33,520
equaled

2907
01:51:41,030 --> 01:51:37,280
by adversaries who wish to do us harm

2908
01:51:43,830 --> 01:51:41,040
and we have to recognize that as

2909
01:51:46,310 --> 01:51:43,840
wonderful it is to hear about the

2910
01:51:48,149 --> 01:51:46,320
vision and the future for space and what

2911
01:51:49,189 --> 01:51:48,159
it can provide commercially what it can

2912
01:51:50,550 --> 01:51:49,199
provide

2913
01:51:52,550 --> 01:51:50,560
for

2914
01:51:53,510 --> 01:51:52,560
human exploration

2915
01:51:54,310 --> 01:51:53,520
uh

2916
01:51:57,270 --> 01:51:54,320
we

2917
01:51:58,950 --> 01:51:57,280
end up here sobered up by the fact that

2918
01:52:00,390 --> 01:51:58,960
like

2919
01:52:02,070 --> 01:52:00,400
other

2920
01:52:04,390 --> 01:52:02,080
innovations that have occurred the

2921
01:52:06,229 --> 01:52:04,400
internet and so forth and all the

2922
01:52:07,750 --> 01:52:06,239
all the blessings that it brings and all

2923
01:52:08,950 --> 01:52:07,760
the uh

2924
01:52:11,189 --> 01:52:08,960
uh

2925
01:52:13,510 --> 01:52:11,199
optimism it brings about the future it's

2926
01:52:14,390 --> 01:52:13,520
a double-edged sword uh there's a dark

2927
01:52:18,790 --> 01:52:14,400
side

2928
01:52:20,229 --> 01:52:18,800
forces us to be prepared

2929
01:52:22,070 --> 01:52:20,239
and so i think one of the important

2930
01:52:23,510 --> 01:52:22,080
things this council can do

2931
01:52:24,950 --> 01:52:23,520
is to ensure

2932
01:52:26,629 --> 01:52:24,960
that we

2933
01:52:30,390 --> 01:52:26,639
achieve the dominance and space

2934
01:52:31,669 --> 01:52:30,400
necessary for us to protect our people

2935
01:52:37,350 --> 01:52:31,679
to

2936
01:52:39,669 --> 01:52:37,360
keep our adversaries in a position where

2937
01:52:42,390 --> 01:52:39,679
they can't provide the dominance that

2938
01:52:45,750 --> 01:52:42,400
could do us do us wrong so

2939
01:52:48,470 --> 01:52:45,760
the candor uh and means in which uh this

2940
01:52:50,149 --> 01:52:48,480
uh part of the this panel has brought i

2941
01:52:53,189 --> 01:52:50,159
think is something that we need to focus

2942
01:52:57,189 --> 01:52:55,589
uh uh thank you director coats any any

2943
01:52:59,030 --> 01:52:57,199
comments from the panel following the

2944
01:53:01,510 --> 01:52:59,040
director's

2945
01:53:03,910 --> 01:53:01,520
remarks before i recognize

2946
01:53:06,229 --> 01:53:03,920
the acting director of homeland security

2947
01:53:07,910 --> 01:53:06,239
allow me another indiana

2948
01:53:10,070 --> 01:53:07,920
privilege

2949
01:53:12,870 --> 01:53:10,080
by recognizing an astronaut who's with

2950
01:53:15,750 --> 01:53:12,880
us today who spent 168 days in space

2951
01:53:16,470 --> 01:53:15,760
four missions 41 hours of space walks

2952
01:53:18,550 --> 01:53:16,480
and

2953
01:53:20,709 --> 01:53:18,560
he is he is the pride of his home state

2954
01:53:28,709 --> 01:53:20,719
of indiana astronaut david wolf is with

2955
01:53:32,790 --> 01:53:31,669
may not forgive me for that but uh i had

2956
01:53:35,270 --> 01:53:32,800
to do it

2957
01:53:37,589 --> 01:53:35,280
uh secretary dude thank you following

2958
01:53:40,310 --> 01:53:37,599
the time to get my microphone on before

2959
01:53:41,830 --> 01:53:40,320
you called on me i appreciate it um i i

2960
01:53:43,430 --> 01:53:41,840
definitely agree

2961
01:53:46,629 --> 01:53:43,440
that we need a

2962
01:53:47,830 --> 01:53:46,639
space strategy a a space security

2963
01:53:49,430 --> 01:53:47,840
strategy

2964
01:53:51,910 --> 01:53:49,440
and i've heard two different things

2965
01:53:54,310 --> 01:53:51,920
among the three panels one is critical

2966
01:53:57,270 --> 01:53:54,320
infrastructure in space so we have

2967
01:54:00,550 --> 01:53:57,280
commercial we have a national defense

2968
01:54:03,109 --> 01:54:00,560
and it would almost argue for

2969
01:54:04,149 --> 01:54:03,119
addressing some of the threats

2970
01:54:05,109 --> 01:54:04,159
as

2971
01:54:07,270 --> 01:54:05,119
they

2972
01:54:09,189 --> 01:54:07,280
as critical infrastructure align with

2973
01:54:11,270 --> 01:54:09,199
that so in the commercial sector we'd

2974
01:54:13,430 --> 01:54:11,280
have to make sure we have cyber security

2975
01:54:15,430 --> 01:54:13,440
and national defense the resilience you

2976
01:54:17,830 --> 01:54:15,440
talked about but then someone and i

2977
01:54:19,830 --> 01:54:17,840
believe it was you admirals mentioned

2978
01:54:22,470 --> 01:54:19,840
space as a crim as critical

2979
01:54:24,950 --> 01:54:22,480
infrastructure in in if we take your

2980
01:54:27,270 --> 01:54:24,960
recommendation for this strategy should

2981
01:54:30,390 --> 01:54:27,280
we be looking at space as a critical

2982
01:54:33,350 --> 01:54:30,400
infrastructure and all the security

2983
01:54:35,270 --> 01:54:33,360
needs we'd have it across the national

2984
01:54:37,990 --> 01:54:35,280
defense homeland security and commercial

2985
01:54:40,390 --> 01:54:38,000
do you have any recommendations

2986
01:54:42,470 --> 01:54:40,400
well i think you're exactly right uh

2987
01:54:44,470 --> 01:54:42,480
madam secretary the

2988
01:54:46,310 --> 01:54:44,480
the reality is that in space as in so

2989
01:54:49,350 --> 01:54:46,320
many other domains as

2990
01:54:50,950 --> 01:54:49,360
director coats knows well uh the line

2991
01:54:52,950 --> 01:54:50,960
between what is a national security

2992
01:54:55,750 --> 01:54:52,960
asset and what is a commercial asset has

2993
01:54:57,350 --> 01:54:55,760
long been blurred uh we rely very very

2994
01:54:59,350 --> 01:54:57,360
heavily in the in the military in

2995
01:55:01,510 --> 01:54:59,360
today's military on on commercial

2996
01:55:02,790 --> 01:55:01,520
entities and so uh that's the reason

2997
01:55:04,070 --> 01:55:02,800
that the definition critical

2998
01:55:05,750 --> 01:55:04,080
infrastructure writ large it's

2999
01:55:08,310 --> 01:55:05,760
inappropriate anymore to parse it out

3000
01:55:10,470 --> 01:55:08,320
very narrowly on military only or

3001
01:55:12,470 --> 01:55:10,480
national security only or intelligence

3002
01:55:14,709 --> 01:55:12,480
community only capabilities because we

3003
01:55:16,470 --> 01:55:14,719
are reliant on that that full range of

3004
01:55:17,990 --> 01:55:16,480
capabilities as residents space

3005
01:55:19,910 --> 01:55:18,000
including commercial in order to

3006
01:55:22,149 --> 01:55:19,920
accomplish that mission it's a complete

3007
01:55:24,310 --> 01:55:22,159
system now and needs to be addressed as

3008
01:55:26,470 --> 01:55:24,320
such and that's why i use the the

3009
01:55:28,310 --> 01:55:26,480
critical infrastructure term and think

3010
01:55:31,189 --> 01:55:28,320
that a strategy needs to be focused on

3011
01:55:33,510 --> 01:55:31,199
how we can effectively secure

3012
01:55:36,790 --> 01:55:33,520
that in its entirety not just predict

3013
01:55:41,350 --> 01:55:36,800
one element of it that may have a dod or

3014
01:55:46,229 --> 01:55:44,070
i'd like to echo that and there's a

3015
01:55:48,550 --> 01:55:46,239
a piece of this that it's a systems

3016
01:55:50,149 --> 01:55:48,560
engineering problem so you've heard from

3017
01:55:51,669 --> 01:55:50,159
three panels today

3018
01:55:54,629 --> 01:55:51,679
uh each

3019
01:55:56,390 --> 01:55:54,639
civil commercial and national security

3020
01:55:58,629 --> 01:55:56,400
space are all

3021
01:56:01,030 --> 01:55:58,639
inextricably linked together

3022
01:56:02,070 --> 01:56:01,040
particularly by this infrastructure but

3023
01:56:04,070 --> 01:56:02,080
also

3024
01:56:06,709 --> 01:56:04,080
by other technologies

3025
01:56:08,870 --> 01:56:06,719
and when you stop and think about the

3026
01:56:11,669 --> 01:56:08,880
number of atm transactions that go

3027
01:56:13,750 --> 01:56:11,679
through commercial geo satellites today

3028
01:56:15,189 --> 01:56:13,760
and ask yourself about critical

3029
01:56:17,830 --> 01:56:15,199
infrastructure

3030
01:56:19,510 --> 01:56:17,840
you begin to see that it's not just a

3031
01:56:22,709 --> 01:56:19,520
launch pad

3032
01:56:24,790 --> 01:56:22,719
or other types of capabilities that are

3033
01:56:25,750 --> 01:56:24,800
in that critical path

3034
01:56:27,990 --> 01:56:25,760
so

3035
01:56:29,910 --> 01:56:28,000
from from my perspective it's very very

3036
01:56:32,470 --> 01:56:29,920
important that the strategy

3037
01:56:35,109 --> 01:56:32,480
looks across all the domains and is an

3038
01:56:37,430 --> 01:56:35,119
integrated systems engineering approach

3039
01:56:39,910 --> 01:56:37,440
to what is the architecture of that

3040
01:56:41,990 --> 01:56:39,920
infrastructure that we need how will we

3041
01:56:44,870 --> 01:56:42,000
support it and if we make changes to

3042
01:56:48,550 --> 01:56:44,880
what we're doing today in one area how

3043
01:56:53,430 --> 01:56:51,830
i'd like to add a quick comment

3044
01:56:56,629 --> 01:56:53,440
to put some numbers on what admiral

3045
01:56:59,430 --> 01:56:56,639
ellis was talking about 80 percent of

3046
01:57:02,229 --> 01:56:59,440
our national security communications go

3047
01:57:04,950 --> 01:57:02,239
via commercial satellite routes

3048
01:57:07,350 --> 01:57:04,960
if we were to lose that infrastructure

3049
01:57:11,270 --> 01:57:07,360
our national security communications

3050
01:57:13,030 --> 01:57:11,280
would be greatly reduced in capability

3051
01:57:15,109 --> 01:57:13,040
when we talk about economic

3052
01:57:17,030 --> 01:57:15,119
infrastructure

3053
01:57:19,510 --> 01:57:17,040
i don't think the general public

3054
01:57:21,910 --> 01:57:19,520
realizes the extent to which

3055
01:57:23,270 --> 01:57:21,920
the global positioning system's timing

3056
01:57:25,589 --> 01:57:23,280
signal

3057
01:57:27,910 --> 01:57:25,599
is critical for these atm transactions

3058
01:57:29,109 --> 01:57:27,920
and and every other point of sale

3059
01:57:30,629 --> 01:57:29,119
transaction

3060
01:57:32,870 --> 01:57:30,639
conducted in the united states and

3061
01:57:35,510 --> 01:57:32,880
throughout most of the world

3062
01:57:37,750 --> 01:57:35,520
i ha i have to ask the question to what

3063
01:57:41,109 --> 01:57:37,760
extent do we believe

3064
01:57:43,189 --> 01:57:41,119
that we have defended ourselves if an

3065
01:57:44,950 --> 01:57:43,199
adversary can bring our economic system

3066
01:57:46,870 --> 01:57:44,960
near collapse

3067
01:57:48,070 --> 01:57:46,880
we may not lose a single piece of

3068
01:57:53,910 --> 01:57:48,080
hardware

3069
01:57:58,629 --> 01:57:56,470
uh uh thank the panel thank you uh madam

3070
01:58:01,510 --> 01:57:58,639
secretary uh secretary of state rex

3071
01:58:04,950 --> 01:58:03,510
uh you have

3072
01:58:06,149 --> 01:58:04,960
you've touched on a couple of areas that

3073
01:58:08,149 --> 01:58:06,159
i think are really important and i want

3074
01:58:10,070 --> 01:58:08,159
to go a little deeper on them

3075
01:58:14,229 --> 01:58:10,080
we know that our adversaries are

3076
01:58:15,990 --> 01:58:14,239
developing anti-satellite weapons

3077
01:58:18,310 --> 01:58:16,000
other capabilities to degrade our

3078
01:58:21,030 --> 01:58:18,320
capabilities both our military and our

3079
01:58:24,149 --> 01:58:21,040
security capabilities and impacts on

3080
01:58:26,629 --> 01:58:24,159
commercial capabilities as well

3081
01:58:28,390 --> 01:58:26,639
and as you've pointed out deterrence

3082
01:58:29,669 --> 01:58:28,400
you know having a strong posture has

3083
01:58:31,189 --> 01:58:29,679
always been

3084
01:58:33,750 --> 01:58:31,199
what has

3085
01:58:36,149 --> 01:58:33,760
been reliable in the past and much of

3086
01:58:37,270 --> 01:58:36,159
that is built with allies and partners

3087
01:58:39,030 --> 01:58:37,280
in the past

3088
01:58:41,669 --> 01:58:39,040
we have existing

3089
01:58:42,709 --> 01:58:41,679
structures of alliances today to what

3090
01:58:45,030 --> 01:58:42,719
extent

3091
01:58:45,910 --> 01:58:45,040
are they the proper platforms to build

3092
01:58:47,750 --> 01:58:45,920
out

3093
01:58:49,510 --> 01:58:47,760
these capabilities through allies and

3094
01:58:52,310 --> 01:58:49,520
partners whom also are developing

3095
01:58:55,109 --> 01:58:52,320
certain capabilities in space themselves

3096
01:58:56,790 --> 01:58:55,119
or is the nature of this threat

3097
01:58:57,910 --> 01:58:56,800
does it require

3098
01:59:00,709 --> 01:58:57,920
a different

3099
01:59:02,629 --> 01:59:00,719
platform or structure for building and

3100
01:59:05,030 --> 01:59:02,639
strengthening these approaches through

3101
01:59:07,430 --> 01:59:05,040
allies and partners and the the second

3102
01:59:09,910 --> 01:59:07,440
question i have gets to the conflict the

3103
01:59:11,589 --> 01:59:09,920
likelihood of conflict and and i think

3104
01:59:12,950 --> 01:59:11,599
this was touched on earlier as well we

3105
01:59:14,870 --> 01:59:12,960
have a lot of

3106
01:59:17,510 --> 01:59:14,880
we've practiced a lot

3107
01:59:19,830 --> 01:59:17,520
to deconflict maritime operations with

3108
01:59:22,229 --> 01:59:19,840
our adversaries to deconflict air

3109
01:59:24,229 --> 01:59:22,239
operations

3110
01:59:26,310 --> 01:59:24,239
we have not practiced and we do not have

3111
01:59:27,990 --> 01:59:26,320
the standards and norms to practice

3112
01:59:29,589 --> 01:59:28,000
deconfliction

3113
01:59:30,870 --> 01:59:29,599
in space

3114
01:59:33,270 --> 01:59:30,880
and

3115
01:59:35,830 --> 01:59:33,280
do you have ideas about the ways to

3116
01:59:37,350 --> 01:59:35,840
address that and what are the norms that

3117
01:59:39,669 --> 01:59:37,360
would be the basis

3118
01:59:41,350 --> 01:59:39,679
for beginning to engage in deconfliction

3119
01:59:43,189 --> 01:59:41,360
capabilities

3120
01:59:46,070 --> 01:59:43,199
uh as well so

3121
01:59:49,189 --> 01:59:46,080
two separate but not unrelated

3122
01:59:53,589 --> 01:59:51,669
well i'll be glad to take the first shot

3123
01:59:55,510 --> 01:59:53,599
first in in in

3124
01:59:57,270 --> 01:59:55,520
interest of brevity uh allies are

3125
01:59:58,950 --> 01:59:57,280
absolutely essential in this effort

3126
02:00:01,430 --> 01:59:58,960
going forward

3127
02:00:04,870 --> 02:00:01,440
if if anything even more so than the

3128
02:00:07,109 --> 02:00:04,880
atmospheric and the maritime domain

3129
02:00:09,189 --> 02:00:07,119
space is a true global commons and the

3130
02:00:11,510 --> 02:00:09,199
number of participants that are involved

3131
02:00:13,350 --> 02:00:11,520
actively in space with satellites and

3132
02:00:15,750 --> 02:00:13,360
space programs of their own is well over

3133
02:00:17,669 --> 02:00:15,760
a hundred now and so if we're talking

3134
02:00:20,070 --> 02:00:17,679
about coming together and collective

3135
02:00:22,149 --> 02:00:20,080
security it makes a great deal of sense

3136
02:00:24,390 --> 02:00:22,159
to uh to integrate those efforts and

3137
02:00:26,390 --> 02:00:24,400
have commonality when appropriate we

3138
02:00:27,589 --> 02:00:26,400
understand the challenges of technology

3139
02:00:29,510 --> 02:00:27,599
transfer that was talked about in

3140
02:00:31,510 --> 02:00:29,520
another panel but i do think the mutual

3141
02:00:33,830 --> 02:00:31,520
security elements of this are going to

3142
02:00:35,589 --> 02:00:33,840
be essential because just as dr griffin

3143
02:00:37,189 --> 02:00:35,599
indicated a lot of our communications go

3144
02:00:39,510 --> 02:00:37,199
through commercial satellites not all of

3145
02:00:41,669 --> 02:00:39,520
those commercial satellites we use are

3146
02:00:43,910 --> 02:00:41,679
us satellites and so i think there's a

3147
02:00:45,510 --> 02:00:43,920
there's a logical extension there with

3148
02:00:48,310 --> 02:00:45,520
regard to uh

3149
02:00:49,750 --> 02:00:48,320
to conflict and deconflict i think if i

3150
02:00:51,990 --> 02:00:49,760
might default back to the maritime

3151
02:00:54,310 --> 02:00:52,000
domain again over many centuries we had

3152
02:00:56,950 --> 02:00:54,320
an ability to to rub the rough edges off

3153
02:00:59,109 --> 02:00:56,960
these relationships and create

3154
02:01:01,189 --> 02:00:59,119
rules of the road in the maritime domain

3155
02:01:04,470 --> 02:01:01,199
and ultimately

3156
02:01:06,149 --> 02:01:04,480
acceptable behaviors even supranational

3157
02:01:07,830 --> 02:01:06,159
organizations such as the international

3158
02:01:09,189 --> 02:01:07,840
maritime organization and the

3159
02:01:11,189 --> 02:01:09,199
international civil aviation

3160
02:01:13,270 --> 02:01:11,199
organization were constructed and

3161
02:01:14,870 --> 02:01:13,280
ultimately uh follow on treaties and

3162
02:01:16,629 --> 02:01:14,880
relationships which of these are

3163
02:01:18,709 --> 02:01:16,639
applicable to space is something we need

3164
02:01:20,629 --> 02:01:18,719
to explore not all of them as i said

3165
02:01:22,950 --> 02:01:20,639
earlier may work but i think that's the

3166
02:01:24,790 --> 02:01:22,960
direction we need to go so that we can

3167
02:01:27,510 --> 02:01:24,800
help people understand and avoid

3168
02:01:29,589 --> 02:01:27,520
accidents and avoid miscalculation on

3169
02:01:31,350 --> 02:01:29,599
the part of on the part of allies it's

3170
02:01:33,830 --> 02:01:31,360
not that we have to tell people exactly

3171
02:01:35,830 --> 02:01:33,840
what we will do in every situation but

3172
02:01:37,990 --> 02:01:35,840
it's absolutely essential that that they

3173
02:01:40,229 --> 02:01:38,000
understand uh and we communicate through

3174
02:01:43,189 --> 02:01:40,239
whatever means not necessarily publicly

3175
02:01:44,310 --> 02:01:43,199
where our our our major concerns are so

3176
02:01:46,070 --> 02:01:44,320
that we uh

3177
02:01:49,189 --> 02:01:46,080
we don't uh stumble into uh

3178
02:01:55,030 --> 02:01:49,199
confrontation much less conflict uh on a

3179
02:01:59,510 --> 02:01:57,589
uh i think that

3180
02:02:01,669 --> 02:01:59,520
from an international perspective we

3181
02:02:02,550 --> 02:02:01,679
have a strong partnership in the five

3182
02:02:05,589 --> 02:02:02,560
eyes

3183
02:02:07,510 --> 02:02:05,599
and we really should be building on that

3184
02:02:11,430 --> 02:02:07,520
when you think about resilience and

3185
02:02:13,750 --> 02:02:11,440
persistence and reconstitution

3186
02:02:16,629 --> 02:02:13,760
the geographical diversity that comes

3187
02:02:18,149 --> 02:02:16,639
with having partners around the world

3188
02:02:20,470 --> 02:02:18,159
both in space surveillance but

3189
02:02:22,310 --> 02:02:20,480
potentially in launch in

3190
02:02:24,149 --> 02:02:22,320
command and control nodes ground

3191
02:02:26,070 --> 02:02:24,159
tracking stations and so forth

3192
02:02:28,950 --> 02:02:26,080
absolutely essential

3193
02:02:30,950 --> 02:02:28,960
as a part of that architecture

3194
02:02:33,669 --> 02:02:30,960
i thought admiral ellis's comments about

3195
02:02:36,310 --> 02:02:33,679
norms were very good i will make one

3196
02:02:38,629 --> 02:02:36,320
additional comment to that which is that

3197
02:02:40,950 --> 02:02:38,639
norms and standards need to be things

3198
02:02:42,790 --> 02:02:40,960
that we are also willing to do

3199
02:02:44,950 --> 02:02:42,800
it will not work if we

3200
02:02:47,030 --> 02:02:44,960
say oh we don't want people to do

3201
02:02:48,550 --> 02:02:47,040
certain things oh but oh well if we need

3202
02:02:50,950 --> 02:02:48,560
to do it we're just going to go ahead

3203
02:02:53,030 --> 02:02:50,960
and do it anyway and and that's why

3204
02:02:54,390 --> 02:02:53,040
those norms and standards need to be

3205
02:02:55,430 --> 02:02:54,400
based on

3206
02:02:58,390 --> 02:02:55,440
safety

3207
02:03:00,709 --> 02:02:58,400
and uh clarity in other words not

3208
02:03:03,510 --> 02:03:00,719
confusing people about intentions and so

3209
02:03:05,189 --> 02:03:03,520
forth and a wonderful example of norms

3210
02:03:06,550 --> 02:03:05,199
and standards that have been adopted

3211
02:03:08,629 --> 02:03:06,560
internationally

3212
02:03:11,189 --> 02:03:08,639
that have a strong technical basis are

3213
02:03:13,510 --> 02:03:11,199
the orbital debris mitigation standards

3214
02:03:15,669 --> 02:03:13,520
developed by nasa and proliferated

3215
02:03:17,350 --> 02:03:15,679
throughout the world that most countries

3216
02:03:19,750 --> 02:03:17,360
have agreed to do

3217
02:03:22,709 --> 02:03:19,760
on from a safety standpoint right the

3218
02:03:25,830 --> 02:03:22,719
sustainability of space and so those

3219
02:03:29,589 --> 02:03:25,840
norms and standards need to be based on

3220
02:03:33,830 --> 02:03:29,599
practical safety and clarity as opposed

3221
02:03:36,709 --> 02:03:35,030
all right thank you

3222
02:03:39,430 --> 02:03:36,719
at the panel dr griffin another thought

3223
02:03:41,589 --> 02:03:39,440
on this uh just a quick comment uh you

3224
02:03:43,750 --> 02:03:41,599
asked about secretary mr secretary asked

3225
02:03:46,550 --> 02:03:43,760
about alliances

3226
02:03:49,109 --> 02:03:46,560
the united states is a great nation

3227
02:03:51,750 --> 02:03:49,119
i hope we all hope all always will be

3228
02:03:54,470 --> 02:03:51,760
great nations of course must be prepared

3229
02:03:56,550 --> 02:03:54,480
sometimes to lead alone if necessary but

3230
02:03:58,790 --> 02:03:56,560
great nations also understand

3231
02:04:01,189 --> 02:03:58,800
the value of alliances and partnerships

3232
02:04:05,109 --> 02:04:01,199
and nowhere is this more true or has

3233
02:04:10,709 --> 02:04:07,910
going forward

3234
02:04:12,709 --> 02:04:10,719
if if we want to know what a conflict of

3235
02:04:13,830 --> 02:04:12,719
the future looks like without our space

3236
02:04:15,430 --> 02:04:13,840
assets

3237
02:04:17,109 --> 02:04:15,440
we need to look to the past and look at

3238
02:04:19,750 --> 02:04:17,119
world war ii i don't think we want to

3239
02:04:21,750 --> 02:04:19,760
repeat that experience our allies don't

3240
02:04:24,149 --> 02:04:21,760
want to repeat it the value of the

3241
02:04:26,950 --> 02:04:24,159
western alliance that we have the value

3242
02:04:29,350 --> 02:04:26,960
of our alliances with japan south korea

3243
02:04:31,830 --> 02:04:29,360
other nations pam mentioned the five

3244
02:04:35,990 --> 02:04:34,229
these are critical to carry forward with

3245
02:04:39,270 --> 02:04:36,000
us in space

3246
02:04:41,830 --> 02:04:39,280
absolutely critical

3247
02:04:44,149 --> 02:04:41,840
uh well i want to thank the panel and uh

3248
02:04:46,870 --> 02:04:44,159
a few more comments uh

3249
02:04:48,629 --> 02:04:46,880
uh let me recognize uh

3250
02:04:51,030 --> 02:04:48,639
the president's homeland security

3251
02:04:52,550 --> 02:04:51,040
adviser tom bossert for a comment or

3252
02:04:55,030 --> 02:04:52,560
question

3253
02:04:58,310 --> 02:04:55,040
ah thank you mr vice president and i am

3254
02:05:00,149 --> 02:04:58,320
thrilled to be part of this long overdue

3255
02:05:01,189 --> 02:05:00,159
council i think the national space

3256
02:05:02,709 --> 02:05:01,199
council

3257
02:05:04,390 --> 02:05:02,719
has a lot of challenges ahead of it and

3258
02:05:06,310 --> 02:05:04,400
a lot of opportunities so

3259
02:05:08,629 --> 02:05:06,320
maybe a quick question and dr griffin

3260
02:05:10,950 --> 02:05:08,639
you've already perhaps addressed it

3261
02:05:12,950 --> 02:05:10,960
so i'll ask to

3262
02:05:14,870 --> 02:05:12,960
if i can get you to expand upon your

3263
02:05:16,950 --> 02:05:14,880
thoughts from a security perspective

3264
02:05:18,470 --> 02:05:16,960
both physical and cyber

3265
02:05:20,149 --> 02:05:18,480
i'm really interested in your views and

3266
02:05:21,510 --> 02:05:20,159
the panel's views on the vulnerabilities

3267
02:05:23,669 --> 02:05:21,520
and challenges

3268
02:05:25,189 --> 02:05:23,679
to a reliable sustained space-based

3269
02:05:26,390 --> 02:05:25,199
positioning navigation and timing

3270
02:05:27,990 --> 02:05:26,400
infrastructure

3271
02:05:29,350 --> 02:05:28,000
and in particular the relationships are

3272
02:05:30,950 --> 02:05:29,360
the actions that we need to take to

3273
02:05:32,629 --> 02:05:30,960
maintain american

3274
02:05:35,830 --> 02:05:32,639
preeminence i understand there's

3275
02:05:37,910 --> 02:05:35,840
competitors the gps system uh that we've

3276
02:05:39,109 --> 02:05:37,920
relied upon so heavily but i also

3277
02:05:40,550 --> 02:05:39,119
understand there are vulnerabilities

3278
02:05:41,910 --> 02:05:40,560
that are being exploited on a regular

3279
02:05:43,350 --> 02:05:41,920
basis and that

3280
02:05:45,109 --> 02:05:43,360
that timing

3281
02:05:47,510 --> 02:05:45,119
function is not only critical physically

3282
02:05:49,430 --> 02:05:47,520
but to our cyber operations and so if i

3283
02:05:51,990 --> 02:05:49,440
could ask that question and then

3284
02:05:54,470 --> 02:05:52,000
before i finish add to mick mulvaney's

3285
02:05:56,390 --> 02:05:54,480
comments this isn't a question but uh

3286
02:05:58,390 --> 02:05:56,400
perhaps off the stage i'd like to

3287
02:06:00,310 --> 02:05:58,400
understand your considerations

3288
02:06:02,470 --> 02:06:00,320
and your views on the considerations

3289
02:06:04,470 --> 02:06:02,480
involved in delineating outer space

3290
02:06:07,830 --> 02:06:04,480
in our declarative policy as that

3291
02:06:11,430 --> 02:06:09,350
well i'll go first

3292
02:06:13,430 --> 02:06:11,440
to the second question to answer your

3293
02:06:16,069 --> 02:06:13,440
second question whether on or off stage

3294
02:06:18,069 --> 02:06:16,079
i'm always available for

3295
02:06:20,310 --> 02:06:18,079
those sorts of discussions you have only

3296
02:06:22,709 --> 02:06:20,320
to ask

3297
02:06:24,550 --> 02:06:22,719
obviously i'm a person who leans forward

3298
02:06:26,470 --> 02:06:24,560
in saying that

3299
02:06:29,589 --> 02:06:26,480
we need to be very clear as admiral

3300
02:06:31,830 --> 02:06:29,599
ellis has so sinc so succinctly said

3301
02:06:34,229 --> 02:06:31,840
about what we will do and and what we

3302
02:06:35,990 --> 02:06:34,239
will accept and what we won't accept

3303
02:06:38,470 --> 02:06:36,000
and and i do think that needs to be part

3304
02:06:41,430 --> 02:06:38,480
of our declarative policy with regard to

3305
02:06:43,189 --> 02:06:41,440
gps and and frankly other as

3306
02:06:46,550 --> 02:06:43,199
other elements of our critical

3307
02:06:50,069 --> 02:06:49,189
we need to be extremely clear

3308
02:06:52,470 --> 02:06:50,079
that

3309
02:06:54,550 --> 02:06:52,480
an attack on these assets

3310
02:06:55,669 --> 02:06:54,560
is an attack on the united states

3311
02:06:58,470 --> 02:06:55,679
because it

3312
02:07:00,790 --> 02:06:58,480
influences critically

3313
02:07:04,470 --> 02:07:00,800
our way of dealing with conflict and

3314
02:07:09,109 --> 02:07:06,390
gps is

3315
02:07:10,950 --> 02:07:09,119
vulnerable in a number of ways i'm not

3316
02:07:14,229 --> 02:07:10,960
going to go into those ways in this

3317
02:07:20,950 --> 02:07:17,510
we need to do everything we can to

3318
02:07:28,149 --> 02:07:24,830
gps derived but gps independent methods

3319
02:07:31,510 --> 02:07:28,159
of capturing and preserving our timing

3320
02:07:33,270 --> 02:07:31,520
signals and our navigational information

3321
02:07:35,990 --> 02:07:33,280
we need to make it clear that we will

3322
02:07:39,109 --> 02:07:36,000
protect our space assets

3323
02:07:41,990 --> 02:07:39,119
that we do not allow our adversaries an

3324
02:07:43,270 --> 02:07:42,000
unfettered field of force application in

3325
02:07:45,510 --> 02:07:43,280
space

3326
02:07:46,950 --> 02:07:45,520
that we choose not to be the first but

3327
02:07:54,310 --> 02:07:46,960
that we will

3328
02:07:54,320 --> 02:07:57,189
i'm sorry

3329
02:08:01,830 --> 02:07:59,189
well thank you further for the question

3330
02:08:04,229 --> 02:08:01,840
i echo mike's comments on on pnt and

3331
02:08:05,910 --> 02:08:04,239
your your understanding certainly uh dr

3332
02:08:08,149 --> 02:08:05,920
bossert uh

3333
02:08:10,310 --> 02:08:08,159
it's also worth noting that you know

3334
02:08:12,550 --> 02:08:10,320
we've made great strides since gps was

3335
02:08:14,470 --> 02:08:12,560
first invented it began as a transit

3336
02:08:16,629 --> 02:08:14,480
system for the navy years ago and we

3337
02:08:18,069 --> 02:08:16,639
worked through gps one two and three and

3338
02:08:19,589 --> 02:08:18,079
while we could all agree that we need to

3339
02:08:20,870 --> 02:08:19,599
have that capability to move much more

3340
02:08:22,790 --> 02:08:20,880
rapidly through that there are

3341
02:08:24,950 --> 02:08:22,800
opportunities to incrementally involve

3342
02:08:26,629 --> 02:08:24,960
evolve our capabilities in space to

3343
02:08:28,229 --> 02:08:26,639
ensure that continued access and

3344
02:08:29,830 --> 02:08:28,239
security that we need to fully

3345
02:08:31,510 --> 02:08:29,840
capitalize on and as mike has as

3346
02:08:32,870 --> 02:08:31,520
indicated a lot of those elements are

3347
02:08:35,669 --> 02:08:32,880
are classified but they're certainly

3348
02:08:37,589 --> 02:08:35,679
doable uh secondly with regard to

3349
02:08:39,109 --> 02:08:37,599
the declaratory policy we

3350
02:08:41,189 --> 02:08:39,119
you know you can look back in history

3351
02:08:42,550 --> 02:08:41,199
and we've had declaratory policies and

3352
02:08:44,229 --> 02:08:42,560
declarative doesn't mean necessarily in

3353
02:08:45,589 --> 02:08:44,239
a public press release we've let

3354
02:08:47,030 --> 02:08:45,599
adversaries know particularly in

3355
02:08:49,430 --> 02:08:47,040
relation to elements of the nuclear

3356
02:08:51,589 --> 02:08:49,440
command and control network how we would

3357
02:08:53,350 --> 02:08:51,599
view anything that disrupted or

3358
02:08:55,270 --> 02:08:53,360
disturbed much less destroyed those

3359
02:08:57,430 --> 02:08:55,280
capabilities and so there's a precedent

3360
02:08:59,109 --> 02:08:57,440
for this kind of a communication once we

3361
02:09:00,709 --> 02:08:59,119
decide exactly

3362
02:09:04,470 --> 02:09:00,719
what that policy and strategy needs to

3363
02:09:08,160 --> 02:09:05,350
colonel

3364
02:09:10,470 --> 02:09:08,170
uh yes i'd just like to add that um

3365
02:09:12,550 --> 02:09:10,480
[Music]

3366
02:09:15,350 --> 02:09:12,560
this is not something that's caught us

3367
02:09:17,750 --> 02:09:15,360
all by surprise uh when i was at darpa

3368
02:09:20,069 --> 02:09:17,760
we were working closely with the

3369
02:09:21,189 --> 02:09:20,079
service labs and the services

3370
02:09:23,750 --> 02:09:21,199
to

3371
02:09:25,350 --> 02:09:23,760
ensure that we had gps independent

3372
02:09:27,430 --> 02:09:25,360
methods of navigation and that

3373
02:09:28,790 --> 02:09:27,440
technology development is absolutely

3374
02:09:31,109 --> 02:09:28,800
essential

3375
02:09:33,510 --> 02:09:31,119
interestingly you know long term it can

3376
02:09:36,069 --> 02:09:33,520
have a different technology benefit as

3377
02:09:37,510 --> 02:09:36,079
we reach out into the solar system

3378
02:09:39,910 --> 02:09:37,520
where we will not have the benefit of

3379
02:09:41,750 --> 02:09:39,920
gps position information

3380
02:09:43,270 --> 02:09:41,760
so that's a very important technology

3381
02:09:47,030 --> 02:09:43,280
development effort

3382
02:09:49,189 --> 02:09:47,040
but i'd like to reiterate exactly what

3383
02:09:51,510 --> 02:09:49,199
what dr griffin said

3384
02:09:53,750 --> 02:09:51,520
because although we may have those

3385
02:09:56,790 --> 02:09:53,760
capabilities for national security to be

3386
02:09:58,790 --> 02:09:56,800
gps independent that is not the case for

3387
02:10:00,790 --> 02:09:58,800
our economic

3388
02:10:02,149 --> 02:10:00,800
environment here in the u.s

3389
02:10:03,189 --> 02:10:02,159
and

3390
02:10:05,589 --> 02:10:03,199
of course

3391
02:10:07,990 --> 02:10:05,599
the economic health of the u.s is a

3392
02:10:09,109 --> 02:10:08,000
national security matter and it will be

3393
02:10:11,189 --> 02:10:09,119
years

3394
02:10:13,589 --> 02:10:11,199
before any changes occur in that

3395
02:10:15,430 --> 02:10:13,599
environment they will change very slowly

3396
02:10:18,629 --> 02:10:15,440
there's tremendous commercial dependence

3397
02:10:20,790 --> 02:10:18,639
on it and so i i agree with dr griffin

3398
02:10:22,790 --> 02:10:20,800
that an attack on gps is an attack on

3399
02:10:24,629 --> 02:10:22,800
the us

3400
02:10:25,830 --> 02:10:24,639
thank you very much to the panel and uh

3401
02:10:28,229 --> 02:10:25,840
thank you tom

3402
02:10:30,470 --> 02:10:28,239
i'm going to recognize the vice chairman

3403
02:10:32,870 --> 02:10:30,480
of the joint chiefs of staff general

3404
02:10:34,550 --> 02:10:32,880
paul selva and then

3405
02:10:36,069 --> 02:10:34,560
the deputy secretary of defense for some

3406
02:10:39,510 --> 02:10:36,079
closing remarks before we hear from the

3407
02:10:42,629 --> 02:10:41,109
general you're recognized thank you mr

3408
02:10:44,470 --> 02:10:42,639
vice president thank you to all of our

3409
02:10:46,870 --> 02:10:44,480
panel members for taking your personal

3410
02:10:49,830 --> 02:10:46,880
time to be here today to represent

3411
02:10:52,550 --> 02:10:49,840
all three segments of our

3412
02:10:54,149 --> 02:10:52,560
space architecture and infrastructure

3413
02:10:57,189 --> 02:10:54,159
and it occurs to me as i listen to all

3414
02:10:59,669 --> 02:10:57,199
three panels particularly this one

3415
02:11:03,350 --> 02:10:59,679
that command and control

3416
02:11:06,149 --> 02:11:03,360
is inexorably linked to very elegant

3417
02:11:07,990 --> 02:11:06,159
and timely as you said pamela space

3418
02:11:09,830 --> 02:11:08,000
situational awareness

3419
02:11:12,470 --> 02:11:09,840
and i would i'd like to ask the panel

3420
02:11:14,390 --> 02:11:12,480
can you give us a couple of concrete

3421
02:11:16,229 --> 02:11:14,400
near-term things

3422
02:11:18,790 --> 02:11:16,239
you think we can do

3423
02:11:21,750 --> 02:11:18,800
not only to facilitate the command and

3424
02:11:23,750 --> 02:11:21,760
control of commercial and civil space

3425
02:11:25,589 --> 02:11:23,760
but also to provide for the kind of

3426
02:11:26,870 --> 02:11:25,599
space situational awareness that's

3427
02:11:28,950 --> 02:11:26,880
necessary

3428
02:11:30,390 --> 02:11:28,960
to enforce those norms and standards of

3429
02:11:33,430 --> 02:11:30,400
safe behavior

3430
02:11:34,950 --> 02:11:33,440
as well as to attribute the kinds of

3431
02:11:37,270 --> 02:11:34,960
attacks or

3432
02:11:40,709 --> 02:11:37,280
interference with our systems that we

3433
02:11:43,750 --> 02:11:40,719
might observe through that structure

3434
02:11:46,629 --> 02:11:43,760
i think this is a case where

3435
02:11:48,790 --> 02:11:46,639
safety lies in numbers

3436
02:11:51,510 --> 02:11:48,800
i believe that the concept of a

3437
02:11:55,990 --> 02:11:51,520
centralized command and control node

3438
02:12:00,870 --> 02:11:58,229
is frankly as as dead as the battleship

3439
02:12:02,709 --> 02:12:00,880
after pearl harbor

3440
02:12:04,390 --> 02:12:02,719
every node

3441
02:12:06,870 --> 02:12:04,400
in our networks

3442
02:12:09,830 --> 02:12:06,880
with today's information technology

3443
02:12:11,030 --> 02:12:09,840
every node can be a command and control

3444
02:12:12,709 --> 02:12:11,040
node

3445
02:12:15,109 --> 02:12:12,719
we need to work out a strategy in a

3446
02:12:17,189 --> 02:12:15,119
hierarchy for how such

3447
02:12:21,430 --> 02:12:17,199
devolution would take place in the event

3448
02:12:22,950 --> 02:12:21,440
of conflict but the enemy should know

3449
02:12:25,109 --> 02:12:22,960
that

3450
02:12:27,669 --> 02:12:25,119
there is no central point of attack

3451
02:12:30,709 --> 02:12:27,679
which could render us

3452
02:12:34,629 --> 02:12:30,719
uh incapacitated

3453
02:12:38,629 --> 02:12:36,390
thank you general uh

3454
02:12:40,069 --> 02:12:38,639
i echo mike's comments and and i i hope

3455
02:12:41,510 --> 02:12:40,079
you didn't interpret my comments on the

3456
02:12:43,589 --> 02:12:41,520
neighborhood watch and my opening

3457
02:12:45,270 --> 02:12:43,599
statement is trivializing it i believe

3458
02:12:46,550 --> 02:12:45,280
that along the lines of mike's

3459
02:12:48,550 --> 02:12:46,560
conversation in addition to command and

3460
02:12:50,870 --> 02:12:48,560
control each of these resources up there

3461
02:12:53,830 --> 02:12:50,880
can be outfitted with a rudimentary

3462
02:12:56,229 --> 02:12:53,840
sensor suite of some stripe that could

3463
02:12:58,149 --> 02:12:56,239
then collectively feed this this network

3464
02:13:00,950 --> 02:12:58,159
and this awareness we're we're belatedly

3465
02:13:02,709 --> 02:13:00,960
arguably moving on a much more capable

3466
02:13:05,030 --> 02:13:02,719
space fence that ought to be just the

3467
02:13:06,709 --> 02:13:05,040
first step in uh in ensuring uh

3468
02:13:08,229 --> 02:13:06,719
situational awareness as you are are

3469
02:13:11,030 --> 02:13:08,239
fully aware there are now commercial

3470
02:13:13,910 --> 02:13:11,040
enterprises out there that can network

3471
02:13:15,990 --> 02:13:13,920
uh ground-based systems of sensors to to

3472
02:13:17,589 --> 02:13:16,000
not with the same fidelity and accuracy

3473
02:13:19,510 --> 02:13:17,599
of our of our national security

3474
02:13:21,189 --> 02:13:19,520
resources but certainly contribute

3475
02:13:23,350 --> 02:13:21,199
information and insight to this this is

3476
02:13:24,790 --> 02:13:23,360
a collective effort this is a team sport

3477
02:13:27,430 --> 02:13:24,800
going forward and by team i don't just

3478
02:13:29,350 --> 02:13:27,440
mean u.s civilian i mean allies and

3479
02:13:33,750 --> 02:13:29,360
partners as well around the globe and

3480
02:13:38,470 --> 02:13:36,149
admiral ellis is right there have been

3481
02:13:40,550 --> 02:13:38,480
tremendous advances in distributed

3482
02:13:42,629 --> 02:13:40,560
sensor networks where you have

3483
02:13:44,950 --> 02:13:42,639
distributed sensors that all

3484
02:13:47,030 --> 02:13:44,960
coordinate together where the

3485
02:13:49,990 --> 02:13:47,040
the hole is greater than the sum of the

3486
02:13:51,990 --> 02:13:50,000
parts and that technology is widely

3487
02:13:53,589 --> 02:13:52,000
available

3488
02:13:56,229 --> 02:13:53,599
as i talked about

3489
02:13:59,270 --> 02:13:56,239
there's some commercial sensors now for

3490
02:14:01,189 --> 02:13:59,280
space surveillance essentially

3491
02:14:03,350 --> 02:14:01,199
academic telescopes commercial

3492
02:14:05,990 --> 02:14:03,360
telescopes and radars

3493
02:14:08,470 --> 02:14:06,000
and and this information is available

3494
02:14:09,589 --> 02:14:08,480
today it's being purchased by commercial

3495
02:14:11,430 --> 02:14:09,599
entities

3496
02:14:14,149 --> 02:14:11,440
by the sda

3497
02:14:16,470 --> 02:14:14,159
i think that's an immediate step

3498
02:14:18,069 --> 02:14:16,480
that could be taken would be to bring

3499
02:14:20,550 --> 02:14:18,079
this data in

3500
02:14:22,709 --> 02:14:20,560
one of the biggest concerns about it is

3501
02:14:24,149 --> 02:14:22,719
how can you trust this data

3502
02:14:25,430 --> 02:14:24,159
even today

3503
02:14:26,390 --> 02:14:25,440
there are

3504
02:14:28,550 --> 02:14:26,400
analysts

3505
02:14:31,030 --> 02:14:28,560
who look at all the data that comes in

3506
02:14:33,510 --> 02:14:31,040
even from our certified sensors and

3507
02:14:35,830 --> 02:14:33,520
analyze it to evaluate whether there's

3508
02:14:37,910 --> 02:14:35,840
biases that are developing whether

3509
02:14:39,430 --> 02:14:37,920
weather is

3510
02:14:41,430 --> 02:14:39,440
having a negative effect on the

3511
02:14:44,390 --> 02:14:41,440
information that we're gathering but

3512
02:14:45,350 --> 02:14:44,400
that's pretty much a hand

3513
02:14:47,910 --> 02:14:45,360
done

3514
02:14:50,229 --> 02:14:47,920
process it takes about four or five days

3515
02:14:51,830 --> 02:14:50,239
to really be sure

3516
02:14:53,350 --> 02:14:51,840
how confident you are and the quality of

3517
02:14:55,750 --> 02:14:53,360
what you're looking at

3518
02:14:56,790 --> 02:14:55,760
all of that can be automated relatively

3519
02:14:59,030 --> 02:14:56,800
easily

3520
02:15:00,149 --> 02:14:59,040
and that's a very very important aspect

3521
02:15:02,629 --> 02:15:00,159
of it

3522
02:15:04,629 --> 02:15:02,639
when you get a new piece of information

3523
02:15:05,750 --> 02:15:04,639
you need to be able to tell immediately

3524
02:15:07,589 --> 02:15:05,760
whether

3525
02:15:08,790 --> 02:15:07,599
something actually just happened on

3526
02:15:11,030 --> 02:15:08,800
orbit

3527
02:15:12,790 --> 02:15:11,040
or if one of your distributed sensors

3528
02:15:14,870 --> 02:15:12,800
has been spoofed and is giving you

3529
02:15:17,589 --> 02:15:14,880
incorrect information and that is

3530
02:15:19,189 --> 02:15:17,599
incredibly important and it is possible

3531
02:15:20,870 --> 02:15:19,199
to automate that

3532
02:15:22,790 --> 02:15:20,880
we've seen the technologies be developed

3533
02:15:24,790 --> 02:15:22,800
for it so i think that

3534
02:15:26,069 --> 02:15:24,800
general in in the near term that's

3535
02:15:27,109 --> 02:15:26,079
something that should be looked at

3536
02:15:29,030 --> 02:15:27,119
that's great

3537
02:15:31,990 --> 02:15:29,040
for the last comment or a question the

3538
02:15:34,550 --> 02:15:32,000
deputy secretary of defense pat shanahan

3539
02:15:36,870 --> 02:15:34,560
thank you mr vice president um

3540
02:15:39,669 --> 02:15:36,880
maybe to bring us home and and where we

3541
02:15:41,350 --> 02:15:39,679
started space is the opportunity

3542
02:15:42,709 --> 02:15:41,360
and i think the uh

3543
02:15:44,470 --> 02:15:42,719
previous

3544
02:15:46,629 --> 02:15:44,480
comments kind of steered us towards some

3545
02:15:48,470 --> 02:15:46,639
of the challenges but uh

3546
02:15:49,830 --> 02:15:48,480
and this question i think goes to uh

3547
02:15:51,669 --> 02:15:49,840
admiral ellis so you've had an

3548
02:15:53,510 --> 02:15:51,679
extraordinary career

3549
02:15:55,350 --> 02:15:53,520
and some very remarkable experiences

3550
02:15:57,750 --> 02:15:55,360
maybe in the

3551
02:15:59,189 --> 02:15:57,760
context of of looking forward when you

3552
02:16:00,629 --> 02:15:59,199
think about

3553
02:16:02,149 --> 02:16:00,639
how

3554
02:16:05,030 --> 02:16:02,159
and this pertains your experience in the

3555
02:16:06,629 --> 02:16:05,040
navy as a pilot as strategic command

3556
02:16:09,189 --> 02:16:06,639
commander

3557
02:16:11,430 --> 02:16:09,199
as maritime law evolved does that serve

3558
02:16:14,390 --> 02:16:11,440
as a basis for us to think about

3559
02:16:16,310 --> 02:16:14,400
international convention or regulation

3560
02:16:19,109 --> 02:16:16,320
and how should we use that

3561
02:16:21,030 --> 02:16:19,119
to shape this opportunity

3562
02:16:22,709 --> 02:16:21,040
thank you mr secretary i i certainly do

3563
02:16:24,950 --> 02:16:22,719
think it does apply it's a template

3564
02:16:26,950 --> 02:16:24,960
against which we can compare the space

3565
02:16:29,109 --> 02:16:26,960
uh environment and our challenges there

3566
02:16:30,390 --> 02:16:29,119
and quite frankly cyberspace as well as

3567
02:16:32,549 --> 02:16:30,400
i mentioned earlier some things will

3568
02:16:34,389 --> 02:16:32,559
translate some things may not

3569
02:16:35,750 --> 02:16:34,399
and and that's part of our judgment on

3570
02:16:38,790 --> 02:16:35,760
our evaluation process but it's

3571
02:16:40,870 --> 02:16:38,800
certainly a starting point uh and as you

3572
02:16:42,549 --> 02:16:40,880
know and as we discussed

3573
02:16:43,669 --> 02:16:42,559
over time we've

3574
02:16:45,990 --> 02:16:43,679
come to

3575
02:16:48,230 --> 02:16:46,000
establish and agree to and actively

3576
02:16:49,589 --> 02:16:48,240
participate in and support a global

3577
02:16:51,750 --> 02:16:49,599
understanding of what the rules of

3578
02:16:53,509 --> 02:16:51,760
behavior are and what they are not we

3579
02:16:55,429 --> 02:16:53,519
can call out people very clearly and

3580
02:16:57,750 --> 02:16:55,439
very candidly when they violate those

3581
02:16:59,190 --> 02:16:57,760
rules it's taken a long time to do that

3582
02:17:01,030 --> 02:16:59,200
unfortunately in space things have

3583
02:17:02,150 --> 02:17:01,040
evolved at a pace there where those

3584
02:17:03,830 --> 02:17:02,160
kinds of policies and those

3585
02:17:06,309 --> 02:17:03,840
opportunities haven't been presented

3586
02:17:08,709 --> 02:17:06,319
things happen too fast i mean the the

3587
02:17:11,190 --> 02:17:08,719
technology we are talking about today

3588
02:17:13,910 --> 02:17:11,200
you know began uh you know essentially

3589
02:17:15,110 --> 02:17:13,920
about 60 years ago and so uh it's time

3590
02:17:18,150 --> 02:17:15,120
to play catch-up and i think the

3591
02:17:20,309 --> 02:17:18,160
maritime can uh begin a a discussion it

3592
02:17:21,990 --> 02:17:20,319
can talk about the the treaties as i

3593
02:17:23,669 --> 02:17:22,000
mentioned and the supranational

3594
02:17:25,030 --> 02:17:23,679
organizations but at the end of the day

3595
02:17:27,270 --> 02:17:25,040
we also need to get it down to the

3596
02:17:29,349 --> 02:17:27,280
tactical uh you know we created even

3597
02:17:31,110 --> 02:17:29,359
during the dark days of the cold war uh

3598
02:17:32,950 --> 02:17:31,120
the so-called incident at sea agreements

3599
02:17:34,790 --> 02:17:32,960
with the russians where we agreed what

3600
02:17:37,110 --> 02:17:34,800
we would and would not do under certain

3601
02:17:38,870 --> 02:17:37,120
circumstances to avoid miscalculation

3602
02:17:41,110 --> 02:17:38,880
and accidents and collisions and and

3603
02:17:43,509 --> 02:17:41,120
potentially uh misunderstandings and

3604
02:17:45,030 --> 02:17:43,519
misinterpretation of hostile intent and

3605
02:17:47,589 --> 02:17:45,040
those kinds of dialogues that full

3606
02:17:49,190 --> 02:17:47,599
spectrum of engagement based on the

3607
02:17:51,110 --> 02:17:49,200
those applicable elements of the

3608
02:17:53,030 --> 02:17:51,120
maritime experience i think are a great

3609
02:17:55,110 --> 02:17:53,040
starting point for that policy and

3610
02:17:57,589 --> 02:17:55,120
strategy discussion and as the

3611
02:17:59,669 --> 02:17:57,599
preeminent space faring leader

3612
02:18:01,429 --> 02:17:59,679
we need to lead that effort and not just

3613
02:18:03,669 --> 02:18:01,439
accept what gets handed to us or what

3614
02:18:05,830 --> 02:18:03,679
evolves or what someone else who might

3615
02:18:08,150 --> 02:18:05,840
risk us ill as was mentioned earlier

3616
02:18:10,309 --> 02:18:08,160
might choose to advance as a as an

3617
02:18:11,509 --> 02:18:10,319
alternative solution that's great thank

3618
02:18:21,110 --> 02:18:11,519
you

3619
02:18:22,709 --> 02:18:21,120
this extraordinary group of americans

3620
02:18:29,589 --> 02:18:22,719
for uh

3621
02:18:34,389 --> 02:18:31,349
this obviously been an

3622
02:18:36,950 --> 02:18:34,399
enormously important uh discussion uh

3623
02:18:39,270 --> 02:18:36,960
for our country and uh uh one that we

3624
02:18:41,509 --> 02:18:39,280
will continue uh on the national space

3625
02:18:43,349 --> 02:18:41,519
council in appropriate settings

3626
02:18:46,629 --> 02:18:43,359
um i'm grateful for the panelists for

3627
02:18:48,549 --> 02:18:46,639
their time and and i want to commend uh

3628
02:18:50,389 --> 02:18:48,559
members of the council for your uh

3629
02:18:52,549 --> 02:18:50,399
thoughtful participation in this panel

3630
02:18:54,469 --> 02:18:52,559
and in the previous panels general

3631
02:18:56,230 --> 02:18:54,479
mcmaster president's national security

3632
02:18:59,669 --> 02:18:56,240
advisor you and your team been working

3633
02:19:02,709 --> 02:18:59,679
on guiding interagency development

3634
02:19:05,030 --> 02:19:02,719
of this the space strategic framework i

3635
02:19:07,270 --> 02:19:05,040
wondered if you would

3636
02:19:09,750 --> 02:19:07,280
offer a few thoughts uh

3637
02:19:11,589 --> 02:19:09,760
perhaps an unclassified overview on the

3638
02:19:13,509 --> 02:19:11,599
status of those efforts

3639
02:19:15,110 --> 02:19:13,519
thank you mr vice president and thanks

3640
02:19:16,950 --> 02:19:15,120
to everyone who came today and

3641
02:19:18,469 --> 02:19:16,960
especially you know those around the

3642
02:19:20,790 --> 02:19:18,479
table who we've been working with over

3643
02:19:22,870 --> 02:19:20,800
the past several months to develop the

3644
02:19:25,110 --> 02:19:22,880
space strategic framework a framework

3645
02:19:27,429 --> 02:19:25,120
that i think will be valuable as we

3646
02:19:29,589 --> 02:19:27,439
continue this discussion as we learn

3647
02:19:31,750 --> 02:19:29,599
from the expertise that's here today and

3648
02:19:33,589 --> 02:19:31,760
and even beyond this room

3649
02:19:35,509 --> 02:19:33,599
so as marilyn houston mentioned on the

3650
02:19:38,790 --> 02:19:35,519
first panel mr vice president the pace

3651
02:19:40,950 --> 02:19:38,800
of technology is increasing and what we

3652
02:19:44,150 --> 02:19:40,960
see is a combination

3653
02:19:47,509 --> 02:19:44,160
of greater counter space threats

3654
02:19:50,230 --> 02:19:47,519
and a greater demand for space services

3655
02:19:52,309 --> 02:19:50,240
rapidly expanding commercial industry

3656
02:19:55,590 --> 02:19:52,319
and untapped potential of space

3657
02:19:58,550 --> 02:19:55,600
exploration all of this is calling for

3658
02:20:01,270 --> 02:19:58,560
an integrated strategy to ensure that

3659
02:20:02,630 --> 02:20:01,280
the united states vital interests are

3660
02:20:04,550 --> 02:20:02,640
advanced

3661
02:20:06,309 --> 02:20:04,560
and so much of the strategic framework

3662
02:20:07,750 --> 02:20:06,319
is classified mr vice president but what

3663
02:20:09,590 --> 02:20:07,760
i'll do today is

3664
02:20:12,870 --> 02:20:09,600
is highlight some of the key elements

3665
02:20:14,630 --> 02:20:12,880
very quickly uh that are unclassified

3666
02:20:17,910 --> 02:20:14,640
and what i'd like to do is is really

3667
02:20:19,429 --> 02:20:17,920
discuss four four key elements of of the

3668
02:20:22,630 --> 02:20:19,439
strategy first

3669
02:20:24,389 --> 02:20:22,640
our strategic framework seeks to ensure

3670
02:20:25,830 --> 02:20:24,399
us leadership

3671
02:20:27,910 --> 02:20:25,840
preeminence

3672
02:20:30,469 --> 02:20:27,920
and freedom of action in space and i

3673
02:20:32,309 --> 02:20:30,479
think based on the discussion today

3674
02:20:35,270 --> 02:20:32,319
will actually emphasize across all

3675
02:20:37,110 --> 02:20:35,280
domains more in in the document as well

3676
02:20:39,670 --> 02:20:37,120
but to ensure that that that preeminence

3677
02:20:40,710 --> 02:20:39,680
for decades to come

3678
02:20:42,550 --> 02:20:40,720
second

3679
02:20:44,230 --> 02:20:42,560
while the strategic framework promotes

3680
02:20:45,990 --> 02:20:44,240
an america first approach it is

3681
02:20:47,910 --> 02:20:46,000
consistent with what the panelists have

3682
02:20:49,830 --> 02:20:47,920
said and what you have said many times

3683
02:20:51,030 --> 02:20:49,840
mr vice president that america first

3684
02:20:53,750 --> 02:20:51,040
doesn't mean

3685
02:20:55,990 --> 02:20:53,760
america alone to the contrary we will

3686
02:20:58,950 --> 02:20:56,000
secure the benefits of space not only

3687
02:21:01,429 --> 02:20:58,960
for ourselves but for and with

3688
02:21:04,230 --> 02:21:01,439
our friends and allies as an essential

3689
02:21:06,389 --> 02:21:04,240
part of this of this framework third

3690
02:21:08,309 --> 02:21:06,399
the framework defines our vital

3691
02:21:10,870 --> 02:21:08,319
interests in space and again we may

3692
02:21:13,030 --> 02:21:10,880
modify this about how space relates to

3693
02:21:15,110 --> 02:21:13,040
vital interests and other domains

3694
02:21:17,030 --> 02:21:15,120
as well based on dr griffin's and other

3695
02:21:18,469 --> 02:21:17,040
and others emphasis on on the cross

3696
02:21:21,270 --> 02:21:18,479
domain aspects

3697
02:21:22,230 --> 02:21:21,280
but we want to ensure unfettered access

3698
02:21:30,230 --> 02:21:22,240
to

3699
02:21:32,389 --> 02:21:30,240
economic prosperity and scientific

3700
02:21:34,389 --> 02:21:32,399
knowledge of the nation and i think that

3701
02:21:37,190 --> 02:21:34,399
parallels really the the composition of

3702
02:21:40,389 --> 02:21:37,200
the three panels today and then fourth

3703
02:21:43,429 --> 02:21:40,399
uh as as uh dennis mullenberg mentioned

3704
02:21:45,670 --> 02:21:43,439
the framework also outlines four primary

3705
02:21:47,270 --> 02:21:45,680
objectives in pursuit of our vital

3706
02:21:49,349 --> 02:21:47,280
interests and this is the beginning of

3707
02:21:51,110 --> 02:21:49,359
an integrated strategy to to guard

3708
02:21:53,990 --> 02:21:51,120
against what admiral said is you know we

3709
02:21:56,150 --> 02:21:54,000
don't want this a strategic vacuum and

3710
02:21:57,110 --> 02:21:56,160
these are the four the four objectives

3711
02:21:59,110 --> 02:21:57,120
first

3712
02:22:00,550 --> 02:21:59,120
to strengthen the safety

3713
02:22:03,429 --> 02:22:00,560
stability

3714
02:22:05,270 --> 02:22:03,439
and sustainability of space activities i

3715
02:22:07,590 --> 02:22:05,280
think based on dr griffin's comments we

3716
02:22:09,030 --> 02:22:07,600
might add resilience there

3717
02:22:09,910 --> 02:22:09,040
there as well

3718
02:22:13,270 --> 02:22:09,920
second

3719
02:22:15,349 --> 02:22:13,280
to deter and when necessary defeat

3720
02:22:17,670 --> 02:22:15,359
adversary space and counter space

3721
02:22:20,070 --> 02:22:17,680
threats that are hostile to the national

3722
02:22:23,030 --> 02:22:20,080
interests of the united states and our

3723
02:22:26,710 --> 02:22:23,040
allies we may not start it again uh but

3724
02:22:28,550 --> 02:22:26,720
but we will finish it will be the last

3725
02:22:30,550 --> 02:22:28,560
consistent with what we've heard from

3726
02:22:32,389 --> 02:22:30,560
from the great panelists today we will

3727
02:22:34,710 --> 02:22:32,399
as a third objective partner with the

3728
02:22:37,270 --> 02:22:34,720
u.s commercial sector to ensure that

3729
02:22:39,670 --> 02:22:37,280
american companies remain the leading

3730
02:22:41,429 --> 02:22:39,680
providers of traditional and innovative

3731
02:22:43,830 --> 02:22:41,439
space technologies

3732
02:22:45,429 --> 02:22:43,840
goods and services on the international

3733
02:22:47,750 --> 02:22:45,439
space market

3734
02:22:51,670 --> 02:22:47,760
