00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:14,980
Week at NASA!

00:00:14,980 --> 00:00:16,800
New Crew Arrives at the Space Station

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,619
Our astronaut Serena Aunon-Chancellor arrived
at the International Space Station on June

7
00:00:21,619 --> 00:00:24,900
8 as part of its newest crew.

8
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:30,569
Aunon-Chancellor, Sergey Prokopyev of Roscosmos
and Alexander Gerst of the European Space

00:00:30,569 --> 00:00:34,550
Agency launched two days earlier from Kazakhstan.

10
00:00:34,550 --> 00:00:40,579
Meanwhile, astronaut Scott Tingle, returned
safely to Earth June 3 with crewmates Norishige

11
00:00:40,579 --> 00:00:44,600
Kanai of Japan, and Anton Shkaplerov of Russia.

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,910
They spent 168 days living and working on
the station.

13
00:00:48,910 --> 00:00:50,839
Curiosity’s New Mars Science Results

14
00:00:50,839 --> 00:01:01,480
Our Curiosity rover found organic molecules
preserved in Mars’ harsh surface

15
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,370
that suggests the planet could have supported
ancient life.

16
00:01:05,370 --> 00:01:10,960
Although this is not evidence of life itself,
it’s a good sign for future missions exploring

17
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,070
the Red Planet’s surface and subsurface.

18
00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:15,550
"Space, the Next Frontier", Celebrating NASA’s
60th Anniversary

19
00:01:15,550 --> 00:01:21,570
We kicked off our 60th birthday celebrations
with concerts on June 1 and 2 by the National

20
00:01:21,570 --> 00:01:26,420
Symphony Orchestra Pops at the Kennedy Center
for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC.

21
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:34,850
The celebration featured performances by will.i.am,
Grace Potter, the band Coheed and Cambria

22
00:01:34,850 --> 00:01:40,890
and others, as well as a poem from Star Trek
actor John Cho and a new composition from

23
00:01:40,890 --> 00:01:43,960
Star Trek composer Michael Giacchino.

24
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:49,020
An exhibit highlighted six decades of NASA
achievements – including the Apollo Moon

25
00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:53,090
landings envisioned by late President John
F. Kennedy.

26
00:01:53,090 --> 00:01:58,270
Our Administrator Jim Bridenstine discussed
the agency’s planned return to the Moon.

27
00:01:58,270 --> 00:02:03,390
“We have a plan to send humans back to the
Moon and then on to Mars.

28
00:02:03,390 --> 00:02:08,670
We have the most amazing rocket designers
on the planet building the systems right now

29
00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:12,540
that are going to take humans farther into
the solar system than ever before.”

30
00:02:21,410 --> 00:02:14,060
Mars Ice Challenge

31
00:02:21,410 --> 00:02:26,530
The goal is to demonstrate unique methods
of extracting as much water as possible from

32
00:02:26,530 --> 00:02:29,630
simulated Martian subsurface ice.

33
00:02:29,630 --> 00:02:33,910
Future astronauts who visit distant worlds
will need this kind of technology to take

34
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:36,710
advantage of the resources at hand.

35
00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:39,720
That’s what’s up this week @NASA …
