1
00:00:00,740 --> 00:00:05,860
So what Mars InSight Lander is going to
allow us to do is really map the inside of Mars.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,200
This is an important mission not
just for the United States but an

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,340
important mission for the world. So we
can better understand why planets change

4
00:00:14,340 --> 00:00:18,150
and ultimately understand even more
about our own planet. I think the one

5
00:00:18,150 --> 00:00:22,980
thing that really excites everybody is a
question that we ask ourselves over

6
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:29,699
and over again which is are we alone in
the universe? Is there potential for life

7
00:00:29,699 --> 00:00:33,180
on a planet that's not our own? And one
of the things that we want to do with

8
00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:37,410
Mars 2020, which is going to launch
during the next window we have to go to Mars,

9
00:00:37,410 --> 00:00:43,170
is understand if there was a
potential or maybe even Mars might have

10
00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:48,360
at one time hosted life. If we want to
get as much science as we can as fast as

11
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,410
we can, we need to get really good at
using robots. We're gonna have robotic

12
00:00:52,410 --> 00:00:55,770
missions to the moon before we have
humans go to the moon so that we can get

13
00:00:55,770 --> 00:00:59,730
the most out of our human science
missions and that's true on Mars as well.

14
00:00:59,730 --> 00:01:03,600
This President and Vice President are
very committed to getting America back

15
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,060
to the surface of the Moon as fast as
possible

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,000
Earth, because we live here and it's the
only planet we know that can host life

17
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,780
so we better take care of it.

18
00:01:19,820 --> 00:01:24,500
When I was five years old, they made
us draw what we wanted to be when we

19
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:28,490
grew up and I drew a picture of
an airplane. I had a picture of myself

20
00:01:28,490 --> 00:01:33,020
there wearing a hat that I thought
airline pilots wore.

21
00:01:33,020 --> 00:01:37,490
As a pilot in the Navy, I became very dependent on
space-related capability and a lot of

22
00:01:37,490 --> 00:01:43,010
the technologies that come from NASA
have multiple uses and have transformed

23
00:01:43,010 --> 00:01:48,860
the way we live our lives. So people say
what why are you interested in space I

24
00:01:48,860 --> 00:01:53,570
think the question is why wouldn't you
be interested in space. It's critical to

25
00:01:53,570 --> 00:01:56,500
our everyday lives.

26
00:01:59,070 --> 00:02:03,040
So this is this is a critical mission
for our country. It's a critical mission

27
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,060
for the world. These are some of the
brightest minds that our country has
