00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:54,720 visionaries and dreamers imagine the 6 00:06:59,110 --> 00:06:55,840 future 7 00:07:02,469 --> 00:06:59,120 engineers and scientists build it 8 00:07:04,309 --> 00:07:02,479 using math and science as forms of art 9 00:07:06,390 --> 00:07:04,319 creating technologies 10 00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:06,400 transforming societies 11 00:07:12,950 --> 00:07:10,240 now we take civilization to the stars 12 00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:12,960 on a journey to explore and build 13 00:07:16,390 --> 00:07:14,319 a gateway 14 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:16,400 an outpost 15 00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:18,570 the future 16 00:07:28,550 --> 00:07:25,830 good afternoon and welcome to our show 17 00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:28,560 stem forge the moon we're live from the 18 00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:30,960 apollo saturn 5 center at nasa's kennedy 19 00:07:34,710 --> 00:07:32,960 space center in florida where we just 20 00:07:36,870 --> 00:07:34,720 wrapped up a two-hour celebration 21 00:07:38,790 --> 00:07:36,880 commemorating the 50th anniversary of 22 00:07:41,189 --> 00:07:38,800 the first ever walk on the surface of 23 00:07:43,990 --> 00:07:41,199 the moon we turn now to the future of 24 00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:44,000 space exploration to you the students 25 00:07:49,029 --> 00:07:46,720 and educators thanks for joining us and 26 00:07:51,189 --> 00:07:49,039 welcome to our show i'm stephanie martin 27 00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:51,199 from nasa's office of communications and 28 00:07:55,589 --> 00:07:53,039 i'm here with my co-host and friend 29 00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:55,599 nilofer ramji from nasa's office of stem 30 00:07:59,110 --> 00:07:56,720 engagement 31 00:08:01,430 --> 00:07:59,120 we are part of the artemis generation of 32 00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:01,440 explorers we're going back to the moon 33 00:08:06,230 --> 00:08:04,080 and this time to stay we just saw the 34 00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:06,240 new artemis branding which is truly a 35 00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:08,400 nod to the apollo missions what many 36 00:08:13,830 --> 00:08:11,199 people don't know is apollo had a twin 37 00:08:15,029 --> 00:08:13,840 she was a woman named artemis goddess of 38 00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:15,039 the moon 39 00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:17,919 as the artemis generation we need to 40 00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:20,080 develop the skills to get us to the moon 41 00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:22,479 and beyond nasa's office of stem 42 00:08:27,909 --> 00:08:25,199 engagement works with educators schools 43 00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:27,919 and other organizations like museums to 44 00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:30,080 immerse students in nasa's work and 45 00:08:35,269 --> 00:08:32,800 enhance literacy in science technology 46 00:08:37,909 --> 00:08:35,279 engineering and math generally we're 47 00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:37,919 here to inspire the next generation to 48 00:08:41,269 --> 00:08:38,880 explore 49 00:08:42,790 --> 00:08:41,279 coming up we'll see an artemis mission 50 00:08:45,509 --> 00:08:42,800 through the eyes of middle school 51 00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:45,519 students from museums across the country 52 00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:47,440 we'll also see those same students 53 00:08:53,269 --> 00:08:49,519 perform experiments that show how you 54 00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:53,279 can recreate them from your home using 55 00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:54,480 things that you can find around the 56 00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:55,360 house 57 00:08:59,670 --> 00:08:57,040 later in the show we'll also have a 58 00:09:01,910 --> 00:08:59,680 message from a special celebrity guest 59 00:09:04,630 --> 00:09:01,920 we want everyone to join the forward to 60 00:09:07,269 --> 00:09:04,640 the moon conversation using the hashtag 61 00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:07,279 nasastem on twitter my team is standing 62 00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:09,360 by to answer your questions on social 63 00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:11,680 media i hope you join our conversation 64 00:09:16,150 --> 00:09:14,160 online let's get started 65 00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:16,160 as stephanie mentioned i caught up with 66 00:09:19,829 --> 00:09:17,920 middle school students across the 67 00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:19,839 country this summer who use their 68 00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:23,040 imagination to see what it would 69 00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:24,640 what it would be like if they took over 70 00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:27,120 an artemis moon mission they simulated a 71 00:09:31,509 --> 00:09:29,680 launch arrived at the lunar gateway took 72 00:09:33,910 --> 00:09:31,519 their first steps on the moon and even 73 00:09:35,910 --> 00:09:33,920 collected samples on the lunar surface 74 00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:35,920 first up we'll take you inside mission 75 00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:42,630 [Music] 76 00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:44,640 welcome to the space launch artemis 3 77 00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:46,560 crew you have been training many months 78 00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:48,240 for the greatest adventure of your whole 79 00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:50,480 life i know you're a little bit nervous 80 00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:52,720 but that is normal you will be exploring 81 00:09:56,949 --> 00:09:54,640 our solar system beginning with the moon 82 00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:56,959 and eventually onto mars 83 00:10:02,630 --> 00:10:00,000 when you hear the words go for launch 84 00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:02,640 all systems will be a go t minus three 85 00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:04,640 minutes and counting i think it's 86 00:10:09,750 --> 00:10:07,200 important for nasa to send people to the 87 00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:09,760 moon and to mars because they can do 88 00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:12,320 experiments to help people back on earth 89 00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:14,880 what excites me about artemis is that 90 00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:16,640 it's going to have the first woman on 91 00:10:20,710 --> 00:10:19,120 the moon and there hasn't been one 92 00:10:22,870 --> 00:10:20,720 before and that's really cool all right 93 00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:22,880 we're through you are go to watch main 94 00:10:26,069 --> 00:10:25,120 engine start 10 95 00:10:27,030 --> 00:10:26,079 9 96 00:10:27,910 --> 00:10:27,040 8 97 00:10:28,949 --> 00:10:27,920 7 98 00:10:29,910 --> 00:10:28,959 6 99 00:10:30,949 --> 00:10:29,920 5 100 00:10:31,910 --> 00:10:30,959 4 101 00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:31,920 three 102 00:10:35,190 --> 00:10:32,720 two 103 00:10:38,069 --> 00:10:35,200 one solid rockets is your ignition and 104 00:10:39,829 --> 00:10:38,079 lifts off hardness is clear the tower 105 00:10:41,509 --> 00:10:39,839 welcome to the solar system artemis 106 00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:41,519 three you just passed the international 107 00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:43,440 space station and should see the lunar 108 00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:45,680 gateway and moon in the distance soon 109 00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:48,000 navigator fire rockets on lunar orbit 110 00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:50,800 insertion now thank you capcom we will 111 00:10:55,190 --> 00:10:52,880 check in as we near gateway and are 112 00:10:57,670 --> 00:10:55,200 getting ready to dock at astra this is 113 00:11:08,150 --> 00:10:57,680 one step closer to a future where better 114 00:11:14,230 --> 00:11:10,069 so here at kennedy space center we have 115 00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:14,240 launch complex 39 that is where pad 39a 116 00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:16,240 and 39b were used for the apollo 117 00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:18,000 missions and are key to the future 118 00:11:21,590 --> 00:11:19,120 exploration 119 00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:21,600 of uh human spaceflight 120 00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:24,160 pad 39a is where spacex will launch our 121 00:11:27,430 --> 00:11:25,519 astronauts in the future to the 122 00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:27,440 international space station and you can 123 00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:29,040 see that on the left hand side of your 124 00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:29,920 screen 125 00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:32,000 pad 39b is on the right and that is 126 00:11:36,790 --> 00:11:34,320 where our heavy lift rocket known as the 127 00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:36,800 space launch system will carry the orion 128 00:11:42,069 --> 00:11:39,040 spacecraft for artemis missions to the 129 00:11:44,150 --> 00:11:42,079 moon and on to mars we've been hearing a 130 00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:44,160 lot about artemis today stephanie can 131 00:11:47,829 --> 00:11:46,079 you tell us a little more to really 132 00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:47,839 simplify it our apollo missions were 133 00:11:51,910 --> 00:11:49,760 focused on getting astronauts safely to 134 00:11:53,350 --> 00:11:51,920 and from the moon for artemis we're 135 00:11:55,670 --> 00:11:53,360 going to send our astronauts back to the 136 00:11:57,269 --> 00:11:55,680 moon and there they will explore and 137 00:11:59,910 --> 00:11:57,279 they will utilize that experience to 138 00:12:01,990 --> 00:11:59,920 prepare us to take the next giant leap 139 00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:02,000 to send our astronauts to mars and 140 00:12:06,069 --> 00:12:03,920 artemis will require a heavy lift 141 00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:06,079 vehicle the space launch system the 142 00:12:10,550 --> 00:12:08,480 students we met at the cosmosphere also 143 00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:10,560 conducted an experiment using balloons 144 00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:12,720 as air-powered rockets to launch the 145 00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:15,200 largest payload possible this science 146 00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:17,279 activity teaches students what it takes 147 00:12:21,350 --> 00:12:19,600 to launch a payload into orbit and even 148 00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:21,360 how slight variations in weight can 149 00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:29,910 here with me we have melissa from the 150 00:12:32,790 --> 00:12:31,680 cosmosphere in hutchinson kansas and 151 00:12:34,710 --> 00:12:32,800 she's going to talk to us about an 152 00:12:37,750 --> 00:12:34,720 activity these guys are doing yes 153 00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:37,760 they're doing the nasa activity heavy 154 00:12:43,990 --> 00:12:41,200 lifting it is a payload activity to test 155 00:12:46,629 --> 00:12:44,000 the amount of payload they can 156 00:12:49,990 --> 00:12:46,639 evenly distribute and how to distribute 157 00:12:53,829 --> 00:12:50,000 it onto their rocket ship each paper 158 00:12:55,110 --> 00:12:53,839 clip is equal to two grams of weight 159 00:12:57,750 --> 00:12:55,120 and their 160 00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:57,760 challenge is to get as many paper clips 161 00:13:01,910 --> 00:12:59,200 onto the 162 00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:01,920 rocket as possible and be able to reach 163 00:13:07,269 --> 00:13:04,160 the ceiling you just need an elongated 164 00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:07,279 balloon some paper clips a clothes pin 165 00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:09,680 to stop the airflow and some masking 166 00:13:13,030 --> 00:13:11,200 tapes all right so why don't we check 167 00:13:15,030 --> 00:13:13,040 out what we have going on on this side 168 00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:15,040 it looks like drew and emma over here 169 00:13:20,629 --> 00:13:17,440 have some of their activity started 170 00:13:21,670 --> 00:13:20,639 yes drew drew has a strategy where he's 171 00:13:24,389 --> 00:13:21,680 going to 172 00:13:27,269 --> 00:13:24,399 condense up his payload into a into a 173 00:13:29,670 --> 00:13:27,279 baggie and distribute it onto the rocket 174 00:13:32,949 --> 00:13:29,680 and experiment with the best location to 175 00:13:35,590 --> 00:13:32,959 put his payload for the maximum height 176 00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:35,600 and emma it has a different strategy 177 00:13:41,509 --> 00:13:38,720 where she is chaining the paper clips 178 00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:41,519 and uh will evenly distribute them onto 179 00:13:46,389 --> 00:13:43,920 and tape them onto her rocket 180 00:13:48,629 --> 00:13:46,399 to maximize her payload and and the 181 00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:48,639 height of her rocket right and then the 182 00:13:53,189 --> 00:13:51,120 idea is to test the different payloads 183 00:13:55,430 --> 00:13:53,199 to see what happens or which one 184 00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:55,440 launches exactly so they're going to 185 00:14:00,069 --> 00:13:57,680 start with a very light payload and 186 00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:00,079 they'll increase their tests each time 187 00:14:05,590 --> 00:14:03,440 by a few grams until they maximize their 188 00:14:07,509 --> 00:14:05,600 payload excellent so why don't we see 189 00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:07,519 what it looks like to launch this thing 190 00:14:11,910 --> 00:14:09,920 so it looks like madeline and david have 191 00:14:14,069 --> 00:14:11,920 finished their products 192 00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:14,079 yes we have a couple different design 193 00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:16,639 ideas one is to keep the payload 194 00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:18,720 together and at the bottom 195 00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:21,760 and then the other design is to 196 00:14:26,069 --> 00:14:24,399 change the payload and distribute the 197 00:14:28,870 --> 00:14:26,079 weight all the way down the length of 198 00:14:31,110 --> 00:14:28,880 the rocket okay very nice so are we able 199 00:14:32,870 --> 00:14:31,120 to watch one of these get launched sure 200 00:14:34,550 --> 00:14:32,880 okay let's try it out 201 00:14:37,829 --> 00:14:34,560 all right okay so we're gonna launch 202 00:14:43,110 --> 00:14:37,839 ready is everyone counting three 203 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,590 that's one 204 00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:47,030 so why don't we try this with another 205 00:14:51,509 --> 00:14:49,440 payload all right so madeline and her 206 00:14:53,590 --> 00:14:51,519 partner have put an additional paper 207 00:14:54,949 --> 00:14:53,600 clip onto this balloon i'm really 208 00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:54,959 excited to see what happens with this 209

this really 215 00:15:21,910 --> 00:15:19,910 the heavy lift experiment and many 216 00:15:24,389 --> 00:15:21,920 others are in our stem forge of the moon 217 00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:24,399 activity guide parents educators and 218 00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:26,320 students can go to the website and 219 00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:28,480 download the book there is a ton of 220 00:15:32,470 --> 00:15:30,720 really fun kitchen science in there i 221 00:15:34,470 --> 00:15:32,480 had a lot of fun with them myself in 222 00:15:36,550 --> 00:15:34,480 fact the water filtration activity you 223 00:15:38,949 --> 00:15:36,560 will see coming up was my favorite and 224 00:15:41,350 --> 00:15:38,959 stephanie all of these activities can be 225 00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:41,360 done at home using the activity guide 226 00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:43,600 from launching to living on the moon 227 00:15:48,310 --> 00:15:46,160 there's a lot to learn 228 00:15:50,230 --> 00:15:48,320 museums across the country are hosting 229 00:15:51,990 --> 00:15:50,240 watch parties just like the one that is 230 00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:52,000 in national in the national mall in 231 00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:54,720 washington d.c it was coordinated by 232 00:15:59,430 --> 00:15:56,800 nasa and the smithsonian's air and space 233 00:16:00,790 --> 00:15:59,440 museum here you can see uh the monument 234 00:16:03,590 --> 00:16:00,800 in the background with all of the 235 00:16:05,430 --> 00:16:03,600 exhibits along both sides many of them 236 00:16:07,110 --> 00:16:05,440 have big events that are being hosted 237 00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:07,120 even tomorrow to commemorate the big 238 00:16:11,590 --> 00:16:09,120 apollo 11 mission 239 00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:11,600 and each night this week an image of a 240 00:16:16,389 --> 00:16:14,160 saturn v rocket was being projected onto 241 00:16:18,069 --> 00:16:16,399 the side of the washington monument and 242 00:16:20,949 --> 00:16:18,079 starting tonight and tomorrow a 243 00:16:22,949 --> 00:16:20,959 17-minute animated show will tell the 244 00:16:25,110 --> 00:16:22,959 story of the launch and landing of 245 00:16:27,590 --> 00:16:25,120 apollo 11. that's happening at the 246 00:16:29,110 --> 00:16:27,600 national mall in washington dc if you're 247 00:16:30,710 --> 00:16:29,120 in the nation's capital this week it 248 00:16:32,949 --> 00:16:30,720 sounds like something really worth 249 00:16:35,269 --> 00:16:32,959 seeing it really does as you can see 250 00:16:37,430 --> 00:16:35,279 with that that rocket on the pad as it's 251 00:16:40,069 --> 00:16:37,440 displayed on the monument it's just 252 00:16:41,670 --> 00:16:40,079 amazing i i wish i was in dc if i wasn't 253 00:16:43,990 --> 00:16:41,680 actually able to be here with all of you 254 00:16:45,829 --> 00:16:44,000 today exactly and despite the heat index 255 00:16:48,790 --> 00:16:45,839 it would have been a great adventure it 256 00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:48,800 sure would have so a few moments ago we 257 00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:50,399 saw a mission simulation at the 258 00:16:54,310 --> 00:16:52,079 cosmosphere where we had students 259 00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:54,320 actually in a mission simulator i'm 260 00:16:58,470 --> 00:16:56,639 amazed how interactive these museums are 261 00:17:00,790 --> 00:16:58,480 right and it's so great to have these 262 00:17:02,710 --> 00:17:00,800 experiences available to the students 263 00:17:05,350 --> 00:17:02,720 nasa partnerships are crucial in 264 00:17:06,710 --> 00:17:05,360 engaging students in nasa's mission not 265 00:17:08,949 --> 00:17:06,720 only do they provide learning 266 00:17:11,350 --> 00:17:08,959 opportunities for students they also 267 00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:11,360 enhance the capabilities of educational 268 00:17:15,669 --> 00:17:13,839 institutions and support educators to 269 00:17:17,429 --> 00:17:15,679 better engage the students at the 270 00:17:19,429 --> 00:17:17,439 columbia memorial space center in 271 00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:19,439 california for example students can 272 00:17:23,189 --> 00:17:21,760 return to the moon or voyage to mars and 273 00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:23,199 their interactive space mission 274 00:17:27,110 --> 00:17:25,439 simulator they're a challenger learning 275 00:17:29,350 --> 00:17:27,120 center where students can experience the 276 00:17:31,029 --> 00:17:29,360 journey of exploration and teamwork 277 00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:31,039 exactly and students there took their 278 00:17:34,870 --> 00:17:33,360 imagination to new heights as they 279 00:17:37,029 --> 00:17:34,880 thought through what it might be like to 280 00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:37,039 be aboard the lunar gateway the station 281 00:17:41,029 --> 00:17:38,880 that will orbit the moon and become a 282 00:17:41,990 --> 00:17:41,039 rest stop as we travel further to mars 283 00:17:43,669 --> 00:17:42,000 someday 284 00:17:45,510 --> 00:17:43,679 i was there with our camera crew as 285 00:17:47,909 --> 00:17:45,520 these middle schoolers prepared to land 286 00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:47,919 on the moon they had a lot of fun let's 287 00:17:57,990 --> 00:17:55,270 gateway tracking your orbit how do you 288 00:18:00,549 --> 00:17:58,000 read for landing 289 00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:00,559 mission control orbit established for 290 00:18:05,029 --> 00:18:02,880 landing on the moon's south pole i think 291 00:18:08,150 --> 00:18:05,039 it's important to send people to the 292 00:18:10,070 --> 00:18:08,160 moon and onto mars because discovery is 293 00:18:12,549 --> 00:18:10,080 a big thing and 294 00:18:16,070 --> 00:18:12,559 the more you explore the more you know 295 00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:16,080 initiating system checks on lunar lander 296 00:18:20,870 --> 00:18:18,640 power systems power systems go 297 00:18:22,710 --> 00:18:20,880 communications comms 298 00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:22,720 go i've always wanted to go to the moon 299 00:18:26,390 --> 00:18:24,400 i wanted to be one of the first women on 300 00:18:28,870 --> 00:18:26,400 the moon i wanted to be first so that 301 00:18:31,430 --> 00:18:28,880 kind of be like a big dream come true 302 00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:31,440 that we're going back during my time 303 00:18:36,230 --> 00:18:33,600 environmental controls environment 304 00:18:38,470 --> 00:18:36,240 controls go i think the most important 305 00:18:41,350 --> 00:18:38,480 experiment to do on the moon would most 306 00:18:43,990 --> 00:18:41,360 likely be seeing if we could find some 307 00:18:45,350 --> 00:18:44,000 way to make people able to live on there 308 00:18:47,590 --> 00:18:45,360 it's going to be the first woman to go 309 00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:47,600 on and it's showing just how much things 310 00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:49,200 have changed since the first landing on 311 00:18:52,630 --> 00:18:51,760 the moon flight systems flight systems 312 00:18:54,710 --> 00:18:52,640 go 313 00:18:57,590 --> 00:18:54,720 landis systems responding with green 314 00:19:00,390 --> 00:18:57,600 across the board confirm houston 315 00:19:03,110 --> 00:19:00,400 confirmed gateway lander systems green 316 00:19:05,430 --> 00:19:03,120 proceed with descent operations 317 00:19:08,390 --> 00:19:05,440 roger mission control proceeding with 318 00:19:11,430 --> 00:19:08,400 descent operations what excites me the 319 00:19:12,230 --> 00:19:11,440 most about going forward to the moon 320 00:19:14,950 --> 00:19:12,240 is 321 00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:14,960 like creating a whole new life and being 322 00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:17,600 able to discover more than we thought 323 00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:20,080 luna expedition seats is secured 324 00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:22,480 expedition team moving to lander 325 00:19:27,110 --> 00:19:25,120 what excites me the most about um going 326 00:19:29,830 --> 00:19:27,120 forward to the moon is the learning 327 00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:29,840 opportunity i think it's amazing that 328 00:19:34,870 --> 00:19:32,640 during my lifetime and during like 329 00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:34,880 especially me at this age i'll be able 330 00:19:39,669 --> 00:19:37,120 to experience something like this 331 00:19:41,750 --> 00:19:39,679 expedition team has entered the lander 332 00:19:43,669 --> 00:19:41,760 hatch is secure 333 00:19:46,549 --> 00:19:43,679 pressure check on lander 334 00:19:48,470 --> 00:19:46,559 pressure good holding nominal 335 00:19:49,990 --> 00:19:48,480 initiating release 336 00:19:52,470 --> 00:19:50,000 seals released 337 00:19:54,230 --> 00:19:52,480 lander backing away 338 00:19:56,150 --> 00:19:54,240 two meters 339 00:19:57,510 --> 00:19:56,160 four meters 340 00:20:00,390 --> 00:19:57,520 six meters 341 00:20:03,510 --> 00:20:00,400 you are clear expedition lander godspeed 342 00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:03,520 chloe and lenora safe travels expedition 343 00:20:09,190 --> 00:20:07,200 and don't forget our souvenirs 344 00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:09,200 the lunar gateway that these young women 345 00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:11,120 just shared with us it is such a 346 00:20:14,230 --> 00:20:12,400 different approach from what we had 347 00:20:16,390 --> 00:20:14,240 during apollo that's right stephanie 348 00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:16,400 it's a huge innovation gateway gives us 349 00:20:20,710 --> 00:20:18,480 the opportunity to land anywhere on the 350 00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:20,720 surface of the moon it will also be a 351 00:20:25,029 --> 00:20:22,480 rest stop and staging area as we 352 00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:25,039 continue to go on to mars now a journey 353 00:20:29,909 --> 00:20:27,520 to the moon takes about three days each 354 00:20:32,310 --> 00:20:29,919 way and a great way to pass the time is 355 00:20:34,630 --> 00:20:32,320 with music stephanie music has actually 356 00:20:36,630 --> 00:20:34,640 been part of space travel from the 357 00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:36,640 beginning right it really has there were 358 00:20:41,350 --> 00:20:38,880 pre-launch songs shuttle crew wake-up 359 00:20:42,789 --> 00:20:41,360 songs and some astronauts he even played 360 00:20:44,950 --> 00:20:42,799 instruments on the international space 361 00:20:47,029 --> 00:20:44,960 station to bring a part of home to the 362 00:20:49,669 --> 00:20:47,039 space station with them with nasa 363 00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:49,679 returning to the moon by 2024 we asked 364 00:20:53,830 --> 00:20:51,840 people what they thought should be on 365 00:20:56,070 --> 00:20:53,840 the playlist for the journey and created 366 00:20:58,870 --> 00:20:56,080 moon tunes you can listen on third rock 367 00:21:00,549 --> 00:20:58,880 radio or use the hashtag nasa moontunes 368 00:21:02,390 --> 00:21:00,559 to learn more 369 00:21:05,029 --> 00:21:02,400 one of the tunes that made the playlist 370 00:21:07,190 --> 00:21:05,039 is the song moon in the water by dawes 371 00:21:09,029 --> 00:21:07,200 but for our astronauts when they travel 372 00:21:10,710 --> 00:21:09,039 to the moon one important aspect is 373 00:21:13,590 --> 00:21:10,720 going to be making sure they have clean 374 00:21:15,029 --> 00:21:13,600 water on the moon nova you recently 375 00:21:16,710 --> 00:21:15,039 worked with students on a water 376 00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:16,720 filtration experiment 377 00:21:20,789 --> 00:21:19,200 that's right i did this activity gets 378 00:21:23,029 --> 00:21:20,799 students thinking about some of the 379 00:21:25,350 --> 00:21:23,039 necessities of survival when it comes to 380 00:21:27,110 --> 00:21:25,360 living and working in space in this case 381 00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:27,120 we looked at some of the science behind 382 00:21:30,870 --> 00:21:28,880 cleaning water 383 00:21:32,630 --> 00:21:30,880 and creating a water filtration system 384 00:21:36,390 --> 00:21:32,640 let's go back to the columbia memorial 385 00:21:39,270 --> 00:21:37,750 we're with brianna at the columbia 386 00:21:40,470 --> 00:21:39,280 memorial space center and today we're 387 00:21:43,350 --> 00:21:40,480 going to be doing a cleaning water 388 00:21:45,830 --> 00:21:43,360 activity yeah so cleaning water is so 389 00:21:47,669 --> 00:21:45,840 important right so i thought you know we 390 00:21:49,750 --> 00:21:47,679 can make a water filter activity and 391 00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:49,760 just really get the importance of water 392 00:21:53,190 --> 00:21:52,080 and why we need clean water exactly and 393 00:21:54,870 --> 00:21:53,200 as the astronauts say on the 394 00:21:57,430 --> 00:21:54,880 international space station 395 00:22:00,390 --> 00:21:57,440 tomorrow's coffee was yesterday's coffee 396 00:22:03,029 --> 00:22:00,400 gotta recycle everything we can exactly 397 00:22:04,789 --> 00:22:03,039 so right here i have some necessary 398 00:22:07,190 --> 00:22:04,799 materials that we do for the filter 399 00:22:09,510 --> 00:22:07,200 great i have some beans different kind 400 00:22:12,310 --> 00:22:09,520 of beans some aquarium gravel because 401 00:22:15,270 --> 00:22:12,320 it's very colorful i have some peas and 402 00:22:17,350 --> 00:22:15,280 also rice and our favorite cotton balls 403 00:22:20,390 --> 00:22:17,360 excellent also just to organize some 404 00:22:22,950 --> 00:22:20,400 things i have uh you know a filter to 405 00:22:26,549 --> 00:22:22,960 filter it through some goggles safety 406 00:22:29,430 --> 00:22:26,559 first exactly and also i got some ph 407 00:22:31,430 --> 00:22:29,440 papers so we can actually see if our 408 00:22:33,110 --> 00:22:31,440 water is filtered awesome so we have 409 00:22:34,149 --> 00:22:33,120 jackie and nevaeh continuing the 410 00:22:35,750 --> 00:22:34,159 activity 411 00:22:38,149 --> 00:22:35,760 yeah so it looks like they've already 412 00:22:41,669 --> 00:22:38,159 started their filter they have colorful 413 00:22:43,750 --> 00:22:41,679 yeah they have beans green peas surprise 414 00:22:45,190 --> 00:22:43,760 aquarium gravel and it looks like 415 00:22:47,110 --> 00:22:45,200 they're going to add their final step 416 00:22:49,430 --> 00:22:47,120 which is cotton balls it looks like oh 417 00:22:51,510 --> 00:22:49,440 excellent yeah it's really easy and for 418 00:22:53,510 --> 00:22:51,520 our dirty water that we made we actually 419 00:22:55,270 --> 00:22:53,520 used italian dressing which i think is 420 00:22:57,190 --> 00:22:55,280 really fun that's really awesome so you 421 00:22:59,830 --> 00:22:57,200 what you did was you mixed water with 422 00:23:01,830 --> 00:22:59,840 the italian dressing it's that easy wow 423 00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:01,840 okay other times i like to just go 424 00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:03,760 outside and grab some dirt 425 00:23:07,430 --> 00:23:05,520 that's even more fun i love it i love 426 00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:07,440 playing with dirt 427 00:23:11,350 --> 00:23:09,120 and it kind of gives a real feel it's 428 00:23:12,549 --> 00:23:11,360 real dirty water and they get to test it 429 00:23:14,070 --> 00:23:12,559 out and see if it's going to be clean 430 00:23:15,669 --> 00:23:14,080 and when astronauts are on the lunar 431 00:23:17,590 --> 00:23:15,679 gateway they're going to need systems 432 00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:17,600 like this to be even more efficient 433 00:23:22,390 --> 00:23:20,159 heavy-duty systems it looks like we have 434 00:23:24,310 --> 00:23:22,400 a completed activity here 435 00:23:27,430 --> 00:23:24,320 yeah so it looks like everything is 436 00:23:29,510 --> 00:23:27,440 ready to go great and the goggles are on 437 00:23:31,430 --> 00:23:29,520 so safety first i'm glad that they're 438 00:23:33,750 --> 00:23:31,440 ready for that so now all they need to 439 00:23:35,590 --> 00:23:33,760 do is just add the dirty water excellent 440 00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:35,600 and that water doesn't look 441 00:23:41,350 --> 00:23:37,280 too dirty to me i think we need to give 442 00:23:46,149 --> 00:23:43,269 oh there we go look at that dirty water 443 00:23:50,070 --> 00:23:46,159 so he's mixing the italian dressing in 444 00:23:53,990 --> 00:23:52,549 so now i would probably say it's good to 445 00:23:59,190 --> 00:23:54,000 try out so we're going to try this out 446 00:24:04,950 --> 00:24:01,029 i'm hoping it works i hope so too 447 00:24:08,950 --> 00:24:07,269 oh wow it's starting to go through it's 448 00:24:11,830 --> 00:24:08,960 going through all the layers that's 449 00:24:14,070 --> 00:24:11,840 faster than i would expect totally 450 00:24:16,470 --> 00:24:14,080 and i'm actually really surprised it 451 00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:16,480 looks very clean it looks very clean for 452 00:24:20,789 --> 00:24:18,400 those of you interested in participating 453 00:24:22,390 --> 00:24:20,799 in this activity and many others feel 454 00:24:24,870 --> 00:24:22,400 free to visit the website at the bottom 455 00:24:30,870 --> 00:24:24,880 of our screen and take part in this 456 00:24:33,909 --> 00:24:32,789 nellifer the water looks a little 457 00:24:35,669 --> 00:24:33,919 cleaner when it comes out of the 458 00:24:38,549 --> 00:24:35,679 filtration system on the international 459 00:24:40,789 --> 00:24:38,559 space station that is true stephanie our 460 00:24:42,470 --> 00:24:40,799 system includes a couple of technologies 461 00:24:44,630 --> 00:24:42,480 that you don't normally have at home 462 00:24:47,110 --> 00:24:44,640 which is why we suggest students don't 463 00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:47,120 drink the water you filter absolutely 464 00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:48,080 not 465 00:24:52,710 --> 00:24:49,760 now we want stem discoveries and 466 00:24:54,630 --> 00:24:52,720 experiments to be exciting for everyone 467 00:24:57,029 --> 00:24:54,640 we do and even celebrities are getting 468 00:24:59,350 --> 00:24:57,039 excited about nasa's stem activities 469 00:25:01,029 --> 00:24:59,360 actress and singer kiki palmer recently 470 00:25:02,710 --> 00:25:01,039 had the opportunity to learn more about 471 00:25:04,870 --> 00:25:02,720 our initiatives and she shared this 472 00:25:06,789 --> 00:25:04,880 message about stem and nasa's artemis 473 00:25:09,029 --> 00:25:06,799 missions 474 00:25:10,870 --> 00:25:09,039 hey kiki palmer here and when i'm not on 475 00:25:12,630 --> 00:25:10,880 set or in the recording studio one of my 476 00:25:14,549 --> 00:25:12,640 favorite things to do is to learn more 477 00:25:16,230 --> 00:25:14,559 about organizations like nasa and what 478 00:25:18,230 --> 00:25:16,240 they're doing to push the boundaries of 479 00:25:20,149 --> 00:25:18,240 how we understand the world around us in 480 00:25:22,549 --> 00:25:20,159 addition tons of new inventures are on 481 00:25:24,549 --> 00:25:22,559 the horizon including artemis nasa's 482 00:25:26,549 --> 00:25:24,559 mission to land the first woman and next 483 00:25:28,630 --> 00:25:26,559 man on the moon there's never been a 484 00:25:31,190 --> 00:25:28,640 better time to get involved in science 485 00:25:33,669 --> 00:25:31,200 technology engineering or math visit 486 00:25:35,909 --> 00:25:33,679 nasa.gov stem to learn more about how to 487 00:25:42,470 --> 00:25:35,919 help nasa get to the moon mars and 488 00:25:46,390 --> 00:25:44,710 the landing of apollo 11 is what we are 489 00:25:49,669 --> 00:25:46,400 commemorating today 490 00:25:50,390 --> 00:25:49,679 and for the first time when we land um 491 00:25:51,990 --> 00:25:50,400 our 492 00:25:54,070 --> 00:25:52,000 first sorry when we land the first 493 00:25:55,830 --> 00:25:54,080 artemis mission everyone around the 494 00:25:56,950 --> 00:25:55,840 world is going to be celebrating and 495 00:25:58,310 --> 00:25:56,960 it's really going to be something we can 496 00:26:00,070 --> 00:25:58,320 all look forward to 497 00:26:01,669 --> 00:26:00,080 now nellifer you recently had a trip to 498 00:26:03,590 --> 00:26:01,679 the st louis science center i did we 499 00:26:05,350 --> 00:26:03,600 went to the st louis science center and 500 00:26:06,870 --> 00:26:05,360 talked to several students there we 501 00:26:09,430 --> 00:26:06,880 asked them what they thought it would be 502 00:26:11,269 --> 00:26:09,440 like to land on the moon and showed us 503 00:26:12,789 --> 00:26:11,279 what they imagined the big event would 504 00:26:15,029 --> 00:26:12,799 be would be like they were really 505 00:26:17,190 --> 00:26:15,039 excited they got really into it and i 506 00:26:20,149 --> 00:26:17,200 could see our future astronaut class in 507 00:26:24,470 --> 00:26:22,549 artemis this is houston mission control 508 00:26:26,310 --> 00:26:24,480 here you have 30 seconds of fuel 509 00:26:28,310 --> 00:26:26,320 remaining we are close 510 00:26:30,950 --> 00:26:28,320 drifting forward a little 511 00:26:33,909 --> 00:26:30,960 shut down okay engine stop 512 00:26:36,950 --> 00:26:33,919 we copy you down artemis engine is off 513 00:26:38,870 --> 00:26:36,960 south pull here artemis has landed roger 514 00:26:41,110 --> 00:26:38,880 we copy you on the ground welcome to the 515 00:26:43,990 --> 00:26:41,120 moon artemis you're looking good i would 516 00:26:45,830 --> 00:26:44,000 get my classmates excited about artemis 517 00:26:48,070 --> 00:26:45,840 by telling them how we're gonna go to 518 00:26:50,230 --> 00:26:48,080 the moon and i just think that's really 519 00:26:52,470 --> 00:26:50,240 cool it's very important for nasa to 520 00:26:53,510 --> 00:26:52,480 send people to the moon and mars so that 521 00:26:56,390 --> 00:26:53,520 we can 522 00:27:00,149 --> 00:26:56,400 learn more about our planets in our 523 00:27:02,789 --> 00:27:00,159 solar system and we can have new people 524 00:27:04,710 --> 00:27:02,799 go and experience that we see you 525 00:27:07,269 --> 00:27:04,720 opening up the hatch getting ready to 526 00:27:09,269 --> 00:27:07,279 take your first steps 527 00:27:11,909 --> 00:27:09,279 the most important experiment to do on 528 00:27:12,710 --> 00:27:11,919 the moon in my opinion would definitely 529 00:27:16,070 --> 00:27:12,720 be 530 00:27:17,909 --> 00:27:16,080 look at ice on the moon and see if there 531 00:27:20,870 --> 00:27:17,919 are any signs of anything ever living 532 00:27:22,870 --> 00:27:20,880 there artemis welcome to the moon as we 533 00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:22,880 establish a permanent presence we are 534 00:27:28,380 --> 00:27:24,960 closer to sending the next generation of 535 00:27:32,710 --> 00:27:28,390 explorers to mars this is houston out 536 00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:32,720 [Music] 537 00:27:36,630 --> 00:27:34,559 the museum of flight in seattle is 538 00:27:38,470 --> 00:27:36,640 celebrating the landing of apollo 11 539 00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:38,480 mission with a lunar block party for all 540 00:27:43,350 --> 00:27:40,880 museum guests this weekend the museum of 541 00:27:45,510 --> 00:27:43,360 flight also hosts the apollo 11 command 542 00:27:47,669 --> 00:27:45,520 module known as columbia which is on 543 00:27:50,310 --> 00:27:47,679 display for the guests you see gathered 544 00:27:52,789 --> 00:27:50,320 when living in space shelter is vital 545 00:27:54,789 --> 00:27:52,799 for survival conducting experiments and 546 00:27:56,950 --> 00:27:54,799 to have a place to rest when surrounded 547 00:27:58,549 --> 00:27:56,960 by harsh conditions of space and at the 548 00:28:00,310 --> 00:27:58,559 st louis science center students 549 00:28:02,470 --> 00:28:00,320 explored what it would take to build a 550 00:28:04,950 --> 00:28:02,480 habitat that could be sustainable for 551 00:28:09,590 --> 00:28:04,960 astronauts to stay in but also practical 552 00:28:12,950 --> 00:28:11,510 we're here today at the st louis science 553 00:28:14,070 --> 00:28:12,960 center and i'm here with erin who's 554 00:28:16,230 --> 00:28:14,080 going to be showing us a little bit 555 00:28:17,990 --> 00:28:16,240 about a habitat activity erin that's 556 00:28:19,750 --> 00:28:18,000 right our astronauts have just gotten 557 00:28:21,669 --> 00:28:19,760 back from the moon and they are already 558 00:28:23,350 --> 00:28:21,679 designing their next lunar habitats they 559 00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:23,360 are busy at work 560 00:28:29,190 --> 00:28:26,240 drawing a what they think would be 561 00:28:31,190 --> 00:28:29,200 helpful in a habitat to live if they 562 00:28:32,950 --> 00:28:31,200 were on the moon great i can't wait to 563 00:28:34,950 --> 00:28:32,960 see what a habitat looks like so i've 564 00:28:37,750 --> 00:28:34,960 got evan and nikki here and they are 565 00:28:39,190 --> 00:28:37,760 working on actually building a 3d 566 00:28:40,630 --> 00:28:39,200 version of their habits and look at this 567 00:28:42,630 --> 00:28:40,640 behavior it looks like they've scrounged 568 00:28:44,549 --> 00:28:42,640 around the house and found everything in 569 00:28:47,110 --> 00:28:44,559 the recycling bin they have everything 570 00:28:50,149 --> 00:28:47,120 here has been recycled or reused anybody 571 00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:50,159 could do this at home or school anywhere 572 00:28:53,510 --> 00:28:51,840 habitats are so important because we 573 00:28:55,430 --> 00:28:53,520 need astronauts to have clean drinking 574 00:28:57,110 --> 00:28:55,440 water and clean air to breathe yes 575 00:29:00,230 --> 00:28:57,120 there's all kinds of different issues in 576 00:29:02,070 --> 00:29:00,240 space what you said gravity is an issue 577 00:29:04,389 --> 00:29:02,080 and nicki over here to the laboratory 578 00:29:06,630 --> 00:29:04,399 how amazing is this mad scientist space 579 00:29:09,029 --> 00:29:06,640 lab so he came up with a lot of ways to 580 00:29:10,630 --> 00:29:09,039 bring those experiments safely back all 581 00:29:13,110 --> 00:29:10,640 right i want to see a completed habitat 582 00:29:14,549 --> 00:29:13,120 erin let's do it hi samaya can you tell 583 00:29:18,710 --> 00:29:14,559 us a little bit about what you built for 584 00:29:21,430 --> 00:29:18,720 us today yes i built the bedroom and so 585 00:29:24,789 --> 00:29:21,440 in the bedrooms when you come in there's 586 00:29:27,750 --> 00:29:24,799 a button on and off button so if you 587 00:29:30,710 --> 00:29:27,760 want the 588 00:29:32,389 --> 00:29:30,720 gravity gravity on you press the green 589 00:29:33,750 --> 00:29:32,399 button and if you want it off you press 590 00:29:35,830 --> 00:29:33,760 the red button 591 00:29:39,669 --> 00:29:35,840 and then there's a bed 592 00:29:42,470 --> 00:29:39,679 like a roll out bed with a dresser wow 593 00:29:45,269 --> 00:29:42,480 so what do we have going on with dylan 594 00:29:46,389 --> 00:29:45,279 um well i built the kitchen of the 595 00:29:47,669 --> 00:29:46,399 habitat 596 00:29:50,310 --> 00:29:47,679 and um 597 00:29:52,470 --> 00:29:50,320 there is a table right here with chairs 598 00:29:54,710 --> 00:29:52,480 that you can push under the table so 599 00:29:56,230 --> 00:29:54,720 that way it saves more space 600 00:29:58,070 --> 00:29:56,240 and then 601 00:30:00,549 --> 00:29:58,080 it's just the basic stuff like the sink 602 00:30:02,389 --> 00:30:00,559 but then there's a hot water tank inside 603 00:30:04,389 --> 00:30:02,399 of the refrigerator 604 00:30:06,950 --> 00:30:04,399 to keep more water 605 00:30:08,470 --> 00:30:06,960 inside the habitat and there's a pantry 606 00:30:10,470 --> 00:30:08,480 on the side over here wow you thought of 607 00:30:11,430 --> 00:30:10,480 everything katie what do you got going 608 00:30:12,149 --> 00:30:11,440 on 609 00:30:15,669 --> 00:30:12,159 i 610 00:30:18,149 --> 00:30:15,679 the gym 611 00:30:20,470 --> 00:30:18,159 i thought when you come home from outer 612 00:30:23,909 --> 00:30:20,480 space you would want to relax 613 00:30:27,029 --> 00:30:23,919 so we have a tv and couch 614 00:30:29,269 --> 00:30:27,039 and a little bookcase with 615 00:30:31,350 --> 00:30:29,279 some chairs you can sit in and you have 616 00:30:33,990 --> 00:30:31,360 a treadmill you also have some oxygen 617 00:30:35,669 --> 00:30:34,000 and nitrogen and a computer and what's 618 00:30:37,669 --> 00:30:35,679 in the middle of your living room 619 00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:37,679 because i really like this 620 00:30:42,310 --> 00:30:40,320 it's a gravity button that you can push 621 00:30:44,310 --> 00:30:42,320 on and off if you want gravity you can 622 00:30:46,149 --> 00:30:44,320 push it if you don't you can push it 623 00:30:48,470 --> 00:30:46,159 again okay so i think we've given people 624 00:30:50,950 --> 00:30:48,480 at home a really great idea on how to 625 00:30:52,870 --> 00:30:50,960 start their own lunar habitat yeah 626 00:30:54,630 --> 00:30:52,880 your imagination and what you find in 627 00:30:56,389 --> 00:30:54,640 your own house is the limit i can't wait 628 00:30:58,230 --> 00:30:56,399 to do this at home myself yeah so for 629 00:31:00,630 --> 00:30:58,240 those of you interested in participating 630 00:31:02,149 --> 00:31:00,640 in this activity and many others feel 631 00:31:05,990 --> 00:31:02,159 free to visit the website at the bottom 632 00:31:09,669 --> 00:31:08,070 so we've covered launch gateway and 633 00:31:11,750 --> 00:31:09,679 landing the next mission on the moon but 634 00:31:13,350 --> 00:31:11,760 there's another important step to what 635 00:31:15,269 --> 00:31:13,360 you've asked students to imagine that's 636 00:31:17,509 --> 00:31:15,279 right as important as all of those other 637 00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:17,519 aspects of the mission are we are going 638 00:31:22,230 --> 00:31:20,320 to explore so we asked students at the 639 00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:22,240 arizona science center to envision a 640 00:31:26,149 --> 00:31:24,240 lunar sample mission at the moon south 641 00:31:36,149 --> 00:31:26,159 pole this is what their imagination 642 00:31:40,389 --> 00:31:38,230 houston mission control here here at the 643 00:31:41,990 --> 00:31:40,399 optimal lunar south pole location to 644 00:31:43,990 --> 00:31:42,000 begin drilling for a quarter sample of 645 00:31:46,149 --> 00:31:44,000 water ice are you ready to start sample 646 00:31:48,389 --> 00:31:46,159 collection and analysis 647 00:31:50,389 --> 00:31:48,399 houston this is artemis 3 we're go for 648 00:31:52,470 --> 00:31:50,399 water ice sample collection the core 649 00:31:53,990 --> 00:31:52,480 drill is in position and rover analytic 650 00:31:56,710 --> 00:31:54,000 lab is ready 651 00:31:58,470 --> 00:31:56,720 proceed with collection and analysis 652 00:32:00,470 --> 00:31:58,480 drilling has started and is proceeding 653 00:32:02,630 --> 00:32:00,480 smoothly i'm really excited for the 654 00:32:04,149 --> 00:32:02,640 first woman to be on the moon because 655 00:32:06,630 --> 00:32:04,159 it's a really good 656 00:32:08,789 --> 00:32:06,640 achievement for america and the whole 657 00:32:11,029 --> 00:32:08,799 world i like to think of it as basically 658 00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:11,039 a gas station on the way to mars 659 00:32:15,509 --> 00:32:12,720 because from the earth to mars it's 660 00:32:18,549 --> 00:32:15,519 pretty far away so if we're able to go 661 00:32:20,549 --> 00:32:18,559 to the moon and split the like hydrogen 662 00:32:21,509 --> 00:32:20,559 atoms inside the ice that's hopefully 663 00:32:22,630 --> 00:32:21,519 there 664 00:32:24,230 --> 00:32:22,640 and 665 00:32:25,750 --> 00:32:24,240 create rocket fuel out of that i feel 666 00:32:27,590 --> 00:32:25,760 like that would be pretty cool i think 667 00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:27,600 it's important to have activities that 668 00:32:32,950 --> 00:32:29,760 really help students understand just how 669 00:32:35,110 --> 00:32:32,960 important this step is in possible solar 670 00:32:37,029 --> 00:32:35,120 system colonization 671 00:32:40,149 --> 00:32:37,039 stop drilling we are at the 20 inch mark 672 00:32:42,470 --> 00:32:40,159 lock drill to begin collecting sample 673 00:32:44,950 --> 00:32:42,480 collection complete anchor the drill for 674 00:32:48,389 --> 00:32:44,960 core extraction 675 00:32:50,630 --> 00:32:48,399 the drill is anchored begin extraction 676 00:32:51,790 --> 00:32:50,640 sample ready for analysis open rover 677 00:32:53,509 --> 00:32:51,800 sample container 678 00:32:55,509 --> 00:32:53,519 [Music] 679 00:32:58,070 --> 00:32:55,519 the container is open and ready begin 680 00:33:03,909 --> 00:33:00,310 i think it's important because it really 681 00:33:05,669 --> 00:33:03,919 is the first step in understanding space 682 00:33:07,430 --> 00:33:05,679 travel in general 683 00:33:08,149 --> 00:33:07,440 and along with that especially for mars 684 00:33:09,430 --> 00:33:08,159 just 685 00:33:13,110 --> 00:33:09,440 being able to see whether or not there's 686 00:33:15,590 --> 00:33:13,120 possible biological life in the uh ice 687 00:33:17,350 --> 00:33:15,600 of mars is just amazing they can really 688 00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:17,360 signal that perhaps there is a greater 689 00:33:21,029 --> 00:33:19,600 chance of life in our universe i feel 690 00:33:22,950 --> 00:33:21,039 like 691 00:33:24,070 --> 00:33:22,960 there's not any experiment that's more 692 00:33:25,990 --> 00:33:24,080 important than 693 00:33:28,630 --> 00:33:26,000 any other because any experiments any 694 00:33:31,110 --> 00:33:28,640 experiment they're all equally important 695 00:33:33,909 --> 00:33:31,120 analysis complete houston great news we 696 00:33:35,190 --> 00:33:33,919 have 72 percent water ice and 28 697 00:33:37,509 --> 00:33:35,200 regolith 698 00:33:39,110 --> 00:33:37,519 our aim is three that is great news 699 00:33:40,950 --> 00:33:39,120 those numbers suggest that this is an 700 00:33:43,430 --> 00:33:40,960 excellent location for a long duration 701 00:33:45,110 --> 00:33:43,440 lunar habitat this is an important step 702 00:33:46,549 --> 00:33:45,120 in helping to ensure this generation 703 00:33:47,909 --> 00:33:46,559 will be taking the first steps on the 704 00:33:50,310 --> 00:33:47,919 surface of mars 705 00:33:52,310 --> 00:33:50,320 great work houston out i feel like we 706 00:33:54,149 --> 00:33:52,320 can learn a lot about how the moon was 707 00:33:55,509 --> 00:33:54,159 formed and when we learn more about that 708 00:33:57,110 --> 00:33:55,519 we can learn more about how the earth 709 00:33:59,269 --> 00:33:57,120 was formed and 710 00:34:01,590 --> 00:33:59,279 learn more on from there i think just 711 00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:01,600 being able to say you're there first 712 00:34:07,990 --> 00:34:03,760 really making the mark for the 21st 713 00:34:11,669 --> 00:34:10,230 man i tell you these kids are great i 714 00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:11,679 love hearing how 715 00:34:15,349 --> 00:34:13,520 how excited they are for our lunar 716 00:34:17,109 --> 00:34:15,359 missions and to see them as they walk 717 00:34:18,389 --> 00:34:17,119 through these simulations and put this 718 00:34:20,550 --> 00:34:18,399 themselves in the role of flight 719 00:34:22,389 --> 00:34:20,560 controller an astronaut it's just 720 00:34:24,629 --> 00:34:22,399 inspirational and i can see how 721 00:34:26,710 --> 00:34:24,639 interactive these simulations are it 722 00:34:28,790 --> 00:34:26,720 starts really great uh conversations in 723 00:34:31,030 --> 00:34:28,800 the classroom and at home that's exactly 724 00:34:32,950 --> 00:34:31,040 what we aim to do with the activity 725 00:34:35,349 --> 00:34:32,960 guide encourage families to do these 726 00:34:37,829 --> 00:34:35,359 activities at home and talk about them 727 00:34:40,389 --> 00:34:37,839 that's really what science is all about 728 00:34:42,710 --> 00:34:40,399 asking the questions getting an answer 729 00:34:45,109 --> 00:34:42,720 and then asking the next question from 730 00:34:46,629 --> 00:34:45,119 what you learned and it was so much fun 731 00:34:49,109 --> 00:34:46,639 working with the kids at the different 732 00:34:51,669 --> 00:34:49,119 locations i want to send a big thank you 733 00:34:54,310 --> 00:34:51,679 to the cosmosphere the columbia memorial 734 00:34:56,550 --> 00:34:54,320 space center the st louis science center 735 00:34:58,710 --> 00:34:56,560 and the arizona science center for all 736 00:35:00,150 --> 00:34:58,720 their help in making this show possible 737 00:35:01,829 --> 00:35:00,160 it's great to work with such great 738 00:35:04,630 --> 00:35:01,839 organizations who have the same goals as 739 00:35:06,790 --> 00:35:04,640 nasa exactly there are great museums 740 00:35:09,109 --> 00:35:06,800 schools and other informal education 741 00:35:11,670 --> 00:35:09,119 organizations around the country doing 742 00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:11,680 amazing work to teach and encourage kids 743 00:35:15,349 --> 00:35:13,440 about stem 744 00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:15,359 we are going forward to the moon and to 745 00:35:20,150 --> 00:35:18,000 get us there and on to mars we need you 746 00:35:23,190 --> 00:35:20,160 the artemis generation to be the next 747 00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:23,200 scientists technologists engineers and 748 00:35:28,069 --> 00:35:25,680 mathematicians to take us further than 749 00:35:29,589 --> 00:35:28,079 we have ever gone before to learn more 750 00:35:32,310 -->
