00:04:44,960 anniversary of Apollo 11 is of course 91 00:04:49,690 --> 00:04:47,450 why we're here today we begin with our 92 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:49,700 first look at the remarkable historic 93 00:04:52,420 --> 00:04:51,410 achievement that the whole world is 94 00:04:54,490 --> 00:04:52,430 celebrating 95 00:05:05,070 --> 00:04:54,500 that giant leap changed history and 96 00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:08,680 okay retro go fight Oh guide go control 97 00:05:16,290 --> 00:05:09,440 go 98 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:16,300 undocking Armstrong Aldrin and Collins 99 00:05:23,020 --> 00:05:20,450 arrived at the moon on Saturday July 19 100 00:05:25,930 --> 00:05:23,030 when we did get close and we rolled out 101 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:25,940 and saw it for the first time it was it 102 00:05:33,220 --> 00:05:28,210 was a revelation it was gigantic it 103 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:36,130 the next day Sunday July 20th was 104 00:05:42,220 --> 00:05:39,050 landing and a lot of anticipation we 105 00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:42,230 finally come to the day the moment that 106 00:05:47,650 --> 00:05:45,230 this is about to commence landing on the 107 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:47,660 moon was absolutely the most difficult 108 00:05:53,890 --> 00:05:50,450 piece of any Apollo mission okay think 109 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:53,900 about it as a controlled fall out of 110 00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:57,050 lunar orbit the problem is in this 111 00:06:06,910 --> 00:05:59,840 controlled fall out of orbit you only 112 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:06,920 have enough fuel for one fry the 113 00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:09,530 trajectory had been wrong with they were 114 00:06:15,850 --> 00:06:12,290 targeted into this inhospitable place 115 00:06:19,660 --> 00:06:15,860 then it had to fly over this area at a 116 00:06:21,940 --> 00:06:19,670 high ford velocity then pitch up to slow 117 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:21,950 down so they killed at forward velocity 118 00:06:28,750 --> 00:06:25,610 and then start down like a helicopter so 119 00:06:32,110 --> 00:06:28,760 now we're critical fuel state and that's 120 00:06:41,020 --> 00:06:32,120 why the 60 second call was given and in 121 00:06:43,260 --> 00:06:41,030 the thirty second call 20 seconds 122 00:06:45,190 --> 00:06:43,270 [Music] 123 00:06:48,490 --> 00:06:45,200 okay engine stop 124 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:48,500 ACA out of detent tokoto both autos even 125 00:06:57,100 --> 00:06:51,610 a command override off and then I'm off 126 00:07:03,870 --> 00:06:57,110 for 13 events we copy you down eagle 127 00:07:07,990 --> 00:07:06,490 tranquility we copy on the ground you 128 00:07:11,410 --> 00:07:08,000 got a bunch of guys about to turn blue 129 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:11,420 we're breathing again thanks a lot the 130 00:07:18,790 --> 00:07:13,490 landing to me was a great celebration 131 00:07:30,670 --> 00:07:18,800 the nation was almost euphoric the 132 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:30,680 United States Apollo 11 commander Neil 133 00:07:36,610 --> 00:07:33,170 Armstrong is forever known as the first 134 00:07:39,190 --> 00:07:36,620 man he passed away in 2012 but his small 135 00:07:55,690 --> 00:07:39,200 step on the lunar surface continues to 136 00:08:09,770 --> 00:08:07,220 [Music] 137 00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:09,780 our knowledge of the universe around us 138 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,000 [Music] 139 00:08:24,020 --> 00:08:21,590 this is the new ocean and we must sail 140 00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:24,030 upon it and we must be a leader on it 141 00:08:32,210 --> 00:08:30,720 and that caught people's imagination and 142 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:32,220 later will speak to some Apollo 143 00:08:37,580 --> 00:08:34,650 astronauts live and we'll also hear from 144 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:37,590 Neil Armstrong son mark Darrell look 145 00:08:42,050 --> 00:08:39,810 forward to that Neil Armstrong son looks 146 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:42,060 just like it - doesn't he I love 147 00:08:45,410 -->

00:08:51,620 --> 00:08:49,530 bit even as we celebrate the historic 151 00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:51,630 milestone of Apollo 11 we're working 152 00:08:56,090 --> 00:08:53,910 hard to return humans to the moon in the 153 00:08:58,970 --> 00:08:56,100 next five years as we plot an eventual 154 00:09:02,060 --> 00:08:58,980 course to Mars we call it the Artemis 155 00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:02,070 program a 21st century successor to 156 00:09:08,210 --> 00:09:06,480 Apollo Artemis was Apollo's twin sister 157 00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:08,220 and goddess of the moon in Greek 158 00:09:12,980 --> 00:09:10,560 mythology we'll carry that name with us 159 00:09:16,250 --> 00:09:12,990 to the moon again landing astronauts by 160 00:09:19,850 --> 00:09:16,260 2024 and establishing sustainable lunar 161 00:09:21,830 --> 00:09:19,860 exploration by 2028 to get there we're 162 00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:21,840 building a powerful rocket the Space 163 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:24,510 Launch System to send astronauts aboard 164 00:09:29,780 --> 00:09:26,850 our new Orion spacecraft to the gateway 165 00:09:31,790 --> 00:09:29,790 in lunar orbit from the Gateway we'll be 166 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:31,800 able to land astronauts in places we've 167 00:09:36,890 --> 00:09:34,410 never been before including the lunar 168 00:09:39,530 --> 00:09:36,900 South Pole we'll have a human Lander 169 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:39,540 system staged at the gateway but before 170 00:09:44,180 --> 00:09:41,610 then we'll already be back on the moon 171 00:09:46,190 --> 00:09:44,190 with robotic commercial Landers carrying 172 00:09:48,410 --> 00:09:46,200 science instruments and Technology 173 00:09:50,860 --> 00:09:48,420 demonstrations to the moon beginning in 174 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:50,870 September of next year and will 175 00:09:55,510 --> 00:09:52,970 generation of spacesuits as we send the 176 00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:55,520 first woman and the next man to the moon 177 00:10:00,430 --> 00:09:58,640 as we do this we gain more scientific 178 00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:00,440 knowledge about the solar system in 179 00:10:05,020 --> 00:10:02,690 which we live an American companies 180 00:10:07,150 --> 00:10:05,030 large and small are developing advanced 181 00:10:10,330 --> 00:10:07,160 technologies to realize these space 182 00:10:12,610 --> 00:10:10,340 exploration dreams for NASA and as with 183 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:12,620 Apollo many of these technologies will 184 00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:14,810 later grow into every day parts of life 185 00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:19,310 here on earth and stay tuned to the end 186 00:10:23,830 --> 00:10:21,110 of our show we'll have a fun reveal 187 00:10:26,140 --> 00:10:23,840 about Artemis now joining us live is 188 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:26,150 astronaut Stan Love who flew on space 189 00:10:29,830 --> 00:10:28,130 shuttle mission STS 122 to the 190 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:29,840 International Space Station and he's 191 00:10:34,660 --> 00:10:31,610 currently working on the development of 192 00:10:35,980 --> 00:10:34,670 future human spacecraft Stan 12 193 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:35,990 astronauts walked on the moon between 194 00:10:42,910 --> 00:10:40,970 1969 and 1972 did Neil Armstrong inspire 195 00:10:44,980 --> 00:10:42,920 you in any way at any level well 196 00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:44,990 absolutely I think anybody my age was 197 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:46,880 interested in science or technology or 198 00:10:51,250 --> 00:10:49,250 exploration held the Apollo 11 199 00:10:53,230 --> 00:10:51,260 astronauts as heroes I remember when I 200 00:10:55,540 --> 00:10:53,240 was in grade school six years old my 201 00:10:57,790 --> 00:10:55,550 little tin lunchbox had the astronauts 202 00:10:59,620 --> 00:10:57,800 in the Apollo spacecraft so I had that 203 00:11:01,570 --> 00:10:59,630 in there from the beginning and I 204 00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:01,580 remember coming to work on my very first 205 00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:03,440 day as an astronaut driving in the gate 206 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:05,510 at Johnson Space Center and thinking oh 207 00:11:09,850 --> 00:11:08,090 my goodness this is where it happened 208 00:11:11,770 --> 00:11:09,860 this is where we landed people on the 209 00:11:13,660 --> 00:11:11,780 moon for the very first time there's 210 00:11:15,220 --> 00:11:13,670 sort of this sense of awe and an 211 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:15,230 incredible sense of honor to be able to 212 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:17,210 join that effort especially as a crew 213 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:19,970 member and then some trepidation really 214 00:11:23,970 --> 00:11:22,250 hoping I was up to the task and indeed 215 00:11:26,110 --> 00:11:23,980 you were we got some video of you 216 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:26,120 launching in the Space Shuttle with a 217 00:11:29,830 --> 00:11:28,490 camera that had like an inside view it 218 00:11:31,630 --> 00:11:29,840 doesn't exciting right oh yeah 219 00:11:33,340 --> 00:11:31,640 absolutely when they launch are like 220 00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:33,350 those solid rocket motors on the shuttle 221 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:34,640 you know you're going somewhere in a big 222 00:11:38,290 --> 00:11:36,410 hurry it's like two strong guys shaking 223 00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:38,300 their your chair as hard as they can and 224 00:11:43,780 --> 00:11:40,910 it's it's pretty amazing now you're 225 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:43,790 working on future human spacecraft tell 226 00:11:47,860 --> 00:11:45,410 me a little bit about that involvement 227 00:11:49,870 --> 00:11:47,870 so I'm working on the cockpit for the 228 00:11:52,270 --> 00:11:49,880 Orion spacecraft that is going to be the 229 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:52,280 backbone the main transportation device 230 00:11:56,290 --> 00:11:54,770 to get people off to the moon to lunar 231 00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:56,300 vicinity and then bring them back safely 232 00:12:00,160 --> 00:11:58,250 to earth and I'm working on the displays 233 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:00,170 and the controls that the crew are going 234 00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:02,090 to use to see how their systems are 235 00:12:07,330 --> 00:12:04,400 doing guide that vehicle and fly it 236 00:12:09,010 --> 00:12:07,340 so it's up to me and the folks I work 237 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:09,020 with to make sure that the crews getting 238 00:12:11,830 --> 00:12:10,250 all the information they need and that 239 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:11,840 the commands they send out go correctly 240 00:12:15,130 --> 00:12:13,130 to the vehicle well that is exciting 241 00:12:17,620 --> 00:12:15,140 work and Stan thank you so much for 242 00:12:18,610 --> 00:12:17,630 joining us all right send it back over 243 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:18,620 to you Murray 244 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:20,810 all right thanks Darrell and Stan and 245 00:12:24,910 --> 00:12:22,610 thank you we'll be hearing more from 246 00:12:27,370 --> 00:12:24,920 current and former astronauts throughout 247 00:12:30,010 --> 00:12:27,380 this program including Buzz Aldrin and 248 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:30,020 Michael Collins from Apollo 11 and other 249 00:12:34,329 --> 00:12:32,330 Apollo astronauts as well now let's head 250 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:34,339 over to Houston and Apollo's famous 251 00:12:41,050 --> 00:12:39,050 Mission Control from the historic 252 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:41,060 Mission Control Center NASA conducted 253 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:43,250 some of its most legendary space 254 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:46,250 missions the first u.s. spacewalk the 255 00:12:50,940 --> 00:12:48,770 Apollo moon landings and even the dawn 256 00:12:56,019 --> 00:12:50,950 of the Space Shuttle era of exploration 257 00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:56,029 in this room from 1965 until 1992 flight 258 00:13:00,510 --> 00:12:58,130 controllers monitored every aspect of 259 00:13:02,890 --> 00:13:00,520 the mission power navigation 260 00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:02,900 communications and even the health of 261 00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:05,120 the astronauts with all that happened 262 00:13:09,730 --> 00:13:06,830 here it's no wonder this flight control 263 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:09,740 room was designated a National Historic 264 00:13:15,930 --> 00:13:13,130 Landmark but after years of inactivity 265 00:13:19,090 --> 00:13:15,940 the historic room fell into disrepair 266 00:13:21,940 --> 00:13:19,100 until a new mission was launched to save 267 00:13:24,820 --> 00:13:21,950 it a restoration effort set out to bring 268 00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:24,830 back every detail of the room as it 269 00:13:29,290 --> 00:13:26,570 would have been during the time of the 270 00:13:30,850 --> 00:13:29,300 Apollo moon landings this is kind of the 271 00:13:34,210 --> 00:13:30,860 crowning achievement that happened 272 00:13:36,940 --> 00:13:34,220 during in 1969 and so for us to recreate 273 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:36,950 that and get that feel and to honor that 274 00:13:41,079 --> 00:13:38,930 time and that success that was really 275 00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:41,089 important to us finding the original 276 00:13:44,650 --> 00:13:42,800 wallpaper and then recreating that 277 00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:44,660 finding the original carpet and 278 00:13:49,390 --> 00:13:47,120 recreating out and then just getting the 279 00:13:50,860 --> 00:13:49,400 seats restored and put back together and 280 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:50,870 then just all the little details you 281 00:13:54,670 --> 00:13:52,850 know what was on the consoles what was 282 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:54,680 particular to that flight controller so 283 00:13:59,470 --> 00:13:57,170 it's very personalized so it's very 284 00:14:01,269 --> 00:13:59,480 historically accurate the work has 285 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:01,279 brought the room back to life 286 00:14:05,470 --> 00:14:02,930 capturing a moment 287 00:14:08,050 --> 00:14:05,480 time for flight director Gene Kranz the 288 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:08,060 effort goes beyond switches and monitors 289 00:14:14,019 --> 00:14:12,410 this room has a has an aura to it but 290 00:14:16,329 --> 00:14:14,029 people have worked here they've lived 291 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:16,339 there they made the decisions there each 292 00:14:22,210 --> 00:14:18,890 one of these controllers basically left 293 00:14:25,389 --> 00:14:22,220 a legacy here in the restoration I think 294 00:14:32,790 --> 00:14:25,399 that recognizes the work done in Mission 295 00:14:37,750 --> 00:14:35,650 I'm Garrett Jordon in that historic 296 00:14:39,190 --> 00:14:37,760 Mission Control and with me is Gene 297 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:39,200 Kranz one of the flight directors of 298 00:14:43,150 --> 00:14:41,330 Apollo 11 who you just heard he's at the 299 00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:43,160 very same console he was at fifty years 300 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:45,529 ago when Eagle landed on the moon we 301 00:14:49,269 --> 00:14:47,570 also have Charlie Duke the Capcom the 302 00:14:52,449 --> 00:14:49,279 capsule communicator coming right from 303 00:14:53,949 --> 00:14:52,459 his console when Apollo 11 landed he was 304 00:14:55,329 --> 00:14:53,959 the voice between the teams here in the 305 00:14:57,130 --> 00:14:55,339 room and the astronauts of the historic 306 00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:57,140 mission later walked on the moon himself 307 00:15:01,690 --> 00:14:58,970 during Apollo 16 gentlemen it's pleasure 308 00:15:05,110 --> 00:15:01,700 to have you both here thank you 309 00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:05,120 very cool Charlie your famous words back 310 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:07,310 to Neil I believe part of that quote was 311 00:15:12,070 --> 00:15:08,930 you got a bunch of guys about the term 312 00:15:13,510 --> 00:15:12,080 blue we're redoing it yeah so this was 313 00:15:15,790 --> 00:15:13,520 coming right after Neil Armstrong 314 00:15:17,050 --> 00:15:15,800 confirmed that the eagle has landed how 315 00:15:17,949 --> 00:15:17,060 did it feel to hear that hear those 316 00:15:20,769 --> 00:15:17,959 words from the moon 317 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:20,779 well very exciting very close we were 318 00:15:24,699 --> 00:15:22,010 almost out of gas 319 00:15:26,470 --> 00:15:24,709 and so The Heretic contact engine 320 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:26,480 stopped we did was a great relief 321 00:15:32,079 --> 00:15:29,690 contention was really high that's right 322 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:32,089 that gene that conversation followed one 323 00:15:35,590 --> 00:15:34,010 of the densest parts of the entire 324 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:35,600 mission really the powered descent of 325 00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:37,970 Eagle down to the surface of the Moon 326 00:15:42,250 --> 00:15:40,160 the flight control was here seems so 327 00:15:44,530 --> 00:15:42,260 calm how did they stay that way and so 328 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:44,540 focused during that tense time that's a 329 00:15:48,340 --> 00:15:46,730 process of training room discipline the 330 00:15:50,530 --> 00:15:48,350 basically these are consummate 331 00:15:52,390 --> 00:15:50,540 professionals of the very early age they 332 00:15:54,190 --> 00:15:52,400 learn the discipline necessary to 333 00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:54,200 accomplish difficult tasks that's right 334 00:15:59,130 --> 00:15:56,510 there's not a lot of celebrating in this 335 00:16:03,490 --> 00:15:59,140 room right after they landed right so 336 00:16:05,170 --> 00:16:03,500 Charlie why not well first off we had to 337 00:16:07,540 --> 00:16:05,180 make sure that the lunar module was 338 00:16:10,090 --> 00:16:07,550 secure that you sprung a leak when you 339 00:16:12,579 --> 00:16:10,100 touchdown or battery dropped off or a 340 00:16:16,030 --> 00:16:12,589 lot of things could happen you had to be 341 00:16:17,550 --> 00:16:16,040 ready to lift off so we stayed Jean got 342 00:16:20,290 --> 00:16:17,560 us all back to 343 00:16:24,220 --> 00:16:20,300 attention after a few little smiles and 344 00:16:28,330 --> 00:16:24,230 said we go 41 and so we had a set time 345 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:28,340 t1 t2 t3 and I don't remember exactly 346 00:16:33,370 --> 00:16:31,610 how long those were but we were focused 347 00:16:36,610 --> 00:16:33,380 on making sure this lunar module was 348 00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:36,620 safe and secure and ready to go if we 349 00:16:41,020 --> 00:16:39,110 had to liftoff that's right gene the 350 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:41,030 flight controllers in this room were not 351 00:16:44,830 --> 00:16:43,250 much older than myself I'm about 27 352 00:16:46,420 --> 00:16:44,840 which i think is that about the average 353 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:46,430 age of flight controllers tell me about 354 00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:48,410 the level of trust that was needed in 355 00:16:52,330 --> 00:16:50,510 the team to make that mission a reality 356 00:16:55,180 --> 00:16:52,340 basically it's trust that exists between 357 00:16:57,190 --> 00:16:55,190 myself and the team between my team and 358 00:16:59,380 --> 00:16:57,200 their stock we got and with a program 359 00:17:01,180 --> 00:16:59,390 office I think Trust is essential 360 00:17:03,130 --> 00:17:01,190 commodity for successful manned 361 00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:03,140 spaceflight and I think one of the 362 00:17:07,150 --> 00:17:04,910 things that Charlie mentioned here was 363 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:07,160 the t3 stay no stay yeah we had to wait 364 00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:10,010 two hours to join the celebration but 365 00:17:13,809 --> 00:17:11,540 the rest of the world we're on the 366 00:17:16,210 --> 00:17:13,819 console doing our job two hours after 367 00:17:19,150 --> 00:17:16,220 landing we could celebrate all right now 368 00:17:20,949 --> 00:17:19,160 charlie when those those first steps of 369 00:17:24,370 --> 00:17:20,959 Neil Armstrong on the moon and those 370 00:17:26,350 --> 00:17:24,380 famous words he said for all mankind did 371 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:26,360 you get to celebrate immediately or when 372 00:17:29,860 --> 00:17:27,890 it when it actually hit you the 373 00:17:33,490 --> 00:17:29,870 significance of the accomplishment well 374 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:33,500 after we we were off duty after t3 and 375 00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:35,810 we went to a press conference if I 376 00:17:39,610 --> 00:17:37,370 remember we went and celebrated with a 377 00:17:42,670 --> 00:17:39,620 few beers at that point and then I went 378 00:17:44,860 --> 00:17:42,680 home and was with my family watching it 379 00:17:47,530 --> 00:17:44,870 on TV as he stepped took those first 380 00:17:50,530 --> 00:17:47,540 steps out and then it hit me about we 381 00:17:53,350 --> 00:17:50,540 were on the moon well I hope we get to 382 00:17:56,350 --> 00:17:53,360 have that feeling once again do we have 383 00:17:57,910 --> 00:17:56,360 just a c'mere here joining us now she's 384 00:17:59,890 --> 00:17:57,920 an astronaut such a launch to the 385 00:18:02,200 --> 00:17:59,900 International Space Station here in just 386 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:02,210 a few short months she was selected as 387 00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:04,610 an astronaut in 2013 and Jessica you're 388 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:05,600 going through some training right now 389 00:18:09,100 --> 00:18:07,610 for a long-duration stay aboard the 390 00:18:11,140 --> 00:18:09,110 International Space Station just about 391 00:18:13,180 --> 00:18:11,150 six months that's actually more time 392 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:13,190 than all the Apollo missions combined 393 00:18:17,380 --> 00:18:14,930 tell me what you're gonna be doing on 394 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:17,390 the International Space Station how is 395 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:18,890 that going to help us for our future 396 00:18:22,810 --> 00:18:20,810 missions going back to the moon and on 397 00:18:24,460 --> 00:18:22,820 to Mars so I'll be up there for 398 00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:24,470 six-month mission as you mentioned and 399 00:18:28,180 --> 00:18:26,240 really the Space Station is a 400 00:18:30,250 --> 00:18:28,190 world-class laboratory right now it's a 401 00:18:30,820 --> 00:18:30,260 US National Lab and of course we are 402 00:18:32,259 --> 00:18:30,830 working with 403 00:18:34,539 --> 00:18:32,269 all of our international partners as 404 00:18:36,430 --> 00:18:34,549 well the Russian Space Agency the 405 00:18:38,769 --> 00:18:36,440 Canadian Japanese and European Space 406 00:18:40,659 --> 00:18:38,779 Agency's so we are conducting all kinds 407 00:18:42,730 --> 00:18:40,669 of sin tight scientific investigations 408 00:18:44,529 --> 00:18:42,740 and technology demonstrations that are 409 00:18:46,539 --> 00:18:44,539 really critical toward our path for 410 00:18:48,220 --> 00:18:46,549 future exploration so just to name a few 411 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:48,230 for example of course we need to 412 00:18:52,090 --> 00:18:50,090 understand how space flight and the 413 00:18:54,310 --> 00:18:52,100 microgravity environment affect us and 414 00:18:57,669 --> 00:18:54,320 our human our bodies and our physiology 415 00:18:59,380 --> 00:18:57,679 so we have decades of research now from 416 00:19:00,789 --> 00:18:59,390 all of this scientific research that 417 00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:00,799 we've been conducting on the space 418 00:19:04,690 --> 00:19:03,049 station and then the programs before we 419 00:19:06,759 --> 00:19:04,700 know a lot how to maintain our muscle 420 00:19:08,590 --> 00:19:06,769 mass and maintain our bone density we 421 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:08,600 have a few hot topics right now really 422 00:19:12,789 --> 00:19:10,610 the the vision our vision and the health 423 00:19:14,740 --> 00:19:12,799 of our eyes also what's happening to our 424 00:19:16,210 --> 00:19:14,750 blood vessels looking at our carotid 425 00:19:18,490 --> 00:19:16,220 arteries and some changes that we're 426 00:19:20,590 --> 00:19:18,500 actually seeing in astronauts that are 427 00:19:23,289 --> 00:19:20,600 very similar to the process of aging so 428 00:19:25,060 --> 00:19:23,299 we need to really better understand what 429 00:19:27,279 --> 00:19:25,070 is happening here to make sure that we 430 00:19:28,779 --> 00:19:27,289 can get astronauts safely to their 431 00:19:30,340 --> 00:19:28,789 destination and make sure of course that 432 00:19:32,379 --> 00:19:30,350 we can bring them safely back there and 433 00:19:35,049 --> 00:19:32,389 you'll get to do that firsthand as an 434 00:19:36,820 --> 00:19:35,059 astronaut now as I know it actually 435 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:36,830 Charlie Duke here actually inspired you 436 00:19:40,269 --> 00:19:38,090 to become an astronaut in the first 437 00:19:42,279 --> 00:19:40,279 place yeah he actually was the very 438 00:19:44,409 --> 00:19:42,289 first astronaut I ever met so it is 439 00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:44,419 pretty amazing it's really an incredible 440 00:19:47,919 --> 00:19:45,710 experience to be standing in this room 441 00:19:49,690 --> 00:19:47,929 with these two people when I was in high 442 00:19:51,549 --> 00:19:49,700 school Charlie was speaking at the 443 00:19:53,950 --> 00:19:51,559 neighboring town I grew up in a really 444 00:19:55,389 --> 00:19:53,960 small town in northern Maine and we did 445 00:19:56,740 --> 00:19:55,399 not have a lot of astronauts coming 446 00:19:58,930 --> 00:19:56,750 through I'd never met anybody that 447 00:20:00,700 --> 00:19:58,940 worked at NASA or an astronaut so I went 448 00:20:04,210 --> 00:20:00,710 to hear him talk and I'm sure he doesn't 449 00:20:05,919 --> 00:20:04,220 remember this but he I did talk to him 450 00:20:07,509 --> 00:20:05,929 afterward he gave me his card I told him 451 00:20:09,850 --> 00:20:07,519 that my dream was to become an astronaut 452 00:20:11,350 --> 00:20:09,860 like him and I wrote him a letter and I 453 00:20:12,940 --> 00:20:11,360 thought you know he's so busy I'm sure 454 00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:12,950 he gets lots of these but he did 455 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:15,049 actually write back to me and this is 456 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:16,850 the actual letter I found it when I 457 00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:19,010 moved a couple years ago this is the 458 00:20:23,919 --> 00:20:21,110 letter that you wrote to me back in 1996 459 00:20:25,930 --> 00:20:23,929 when I was a freshman in college so 460 00:20:27,490 --> 00:20:25,940 maybe that'll jog your memory but thank 461 00:20:29,169 --> 00:20:27,500 you so much for doing that it really 462 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:29,179 really was inspiring and it does make a 463 00:20:34,830 --> 00:20:32,450 difference thank you yes always good to 464 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:34,840 expose somebody inspire somebody like 465 00:20:42,149 --> 00:20:38,490 what's typewritten I love that all right 466 00:20:43,950 --> 00:20:42,159 now a gene when we're thinking about our 467 00:20:46,049 --> 00:20:43,960 future missions you use the phrase tough 468 00:20:47,999 --> 00:20:46,059 and competent thinking about inspiring 469 00:20:49,799 --> 00:20:48,009 those next generations do you think 470 00:20:50,879 --> 00:20:49,809 those same values will apply to the 471 00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:50,889 folks that are gonna carry us to 472 00:20:54,869 --> 00:20:52,929 business okay well because a tough and 473 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:54,879 confident really address the 474 00:20:59,129 --> 00:20:56,970 accountability of a Mission Control team 475 00:21:01,710 --> 00:20:59,139 basically to take the actions necessary 476 00:21:03,749 --> 00:21:01,720 to protect the crew and accomplish the 477 00:21:05,519 --> 00:21:03,759 mission tough meetings that you're 478 00:21:07,919 --> 00:21:05,529 forever accountable for what you do and 479 00:21:10,529 --> 00:21:07,929 this was done after the Apollo 1 what we 480 00:21:12,450 --> 00:21:10,539 fails to do confident was ever in never 481 00:21:14,639 --> 00:21:12,460 again take anything for granted we'll 482 00:21:18,060 --> 00:21:14,649 never stop learning from now that teams 483 00:21:19,739 --> 00:21:18,070 and Mission Control will be perfect no 484 00:21:21,450 --> 00:21:19,749 Charlie what can astronauts today like 485 00:21:24,649 --> 00:21:21,460 Jessica do to inspire the next 486 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:24,659 generation well I think what she said 487 00:21:29,249 --> 00:21:27,490 just her performance and what she's 488 00:21:35,580 --> 00:21:29,259 doing and being out there being able to 489 00:21:40,590 --> 00:21:35,590 before the public and and just telling 490 00:21:42,269 --> 00:21:40,600 her story writing a letter so all right 491 00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:42,279 well thanks to all three of you for 492 00:21:46,889 --> 00:21:44,529 taking the time to be with us here today 493 00:21:47,580 --> 00:21:46,899 in the historic Apollo Mission Control 494 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:47,590 in Houston 495 00:21:52,139 --> 00:21:49,690 NASA's giant leaps continues at 496 00:21:54,090 --> 00:21:52,149 Wapakoneta Ohio the hometown of Neil 497 00:21:56,190 --> 00:21:54,100 Armstrong we'll go there in a moment but 498 00:21:59,399 --> 00:21:56,200 first some thoughts about explorers from 499 00:22:01,139 --> 00:21:59,409 a different kind of rocket man they want 500 00:22:03,210 --> 00:22:01,149 adventure and I really admire those kind 501 00:22:05,190 --> 00:22:03,220 of people they they're so brave and 502 00:22:06,830 --> 00:22:05,200 intrepid they're pioneers and you know 503 00:22:09,509 --> 00:22:06,840 without Christopher Columbus Magellan 504 00:22:12,509 --> 00:22:09,519 Marco Polo we wouldn't know Sir Francis 505 00:22:19,759 --> 00:22:12,519 Drake all those kind of people the world 506 00:22:26,490 --> 00:22:24,149 and welcome to Wapakoneta Ohio which is 507 00:22:29,639 --> 00:22:26,500 proud to be the hometown of Neil 508 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:29,649 Armstrong I'm ty Bateman an anchor with 509 00:22:34,830 --> 00:22:32,890 hometown stations in Lima Ohio and we 510 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:34,840 are located at the Armstrong Air and 511 00:22:39,180 --> 00:22:36,970 Space Museum which is about an hour 512 00:22:42,029 --> 00:22:39,190 north of Dayton Ohio 513 00:22:43,980 --> 00:22:42,039 now that of course is the home of the 514 00:22:47,879 --> 00:22:43,990 Wright brothers who invented power 515 00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:47,889 flight more than 115 years ago now Ohio 516 00:22:53,159 --> 00:22:50,110 is also the home of NASA's Glenn 517 00:22:55,830 --> 00:22:53,169 Research Center named for another space 518 00:22:58,019 --> 00:22:55,840 pioneer John Glenn and we are in the 519 00:23:00,480 --> 00:22:58,029 midst of the summer moon Festival which 520 00:23:04,409 --> 00:23:00,490 is an annual celebration of the Apollo 521 00:23:08,310 --> 00:23:04,419 moon landing and right now we actually 522 00:23:11,820 --> 00:23:08,320 have one of our 25 astronauts who hail 523 00:23:14,850 --> 00:23:11,830 from Ohio and is also a native of 524 00:23:17,159 --> 00:23:14,860 Cleveland and a veteran of four Space 525 00:23:18,629 --> 00:23:17,169 Shuttle missions Don Thomas thank you so 526 00:23:20,519 --> 00:23:18,639 much for being with us hi it's great to 527 00:23:23,340 --> 00:23:20,529 be here today well let's get right into 528 00:23:25,889 --> 00:23:23,350 it Don you of course have been inspired 529 00:23:27,509 --> 00:23:25,899 by so many astronauts but how did Neil 530 00:23:29,340 --> 00:23:27,519 Armstrong and the other Apollo 531 00:23:32,129 --> 00:23:29,350 astronauts inspire you you know it was 532 00:23:33,899 --> 00:23:32,139 the first astronauts launching in 1961 533 00:23:35,940 --> 00:23:33,909 that first inspired me to be an 534 00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:35,950 astronaut I watched their launch on a 535 00:23:38,490 --> 00:23:38,049 small TV and I just said I want to do 536 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:38,500 that 537 00:23:42,450 --> 00:23:40,690 and so all the early astronauts John 538 00:23:44,730 --> 00:23:42,460 Glenn ed white who did the first 539 00:23:47,759 --> 00:23:44,740 spacewalk and then Neil Armstrong they 540 00:23:50,399 --> 00:23:47,769 were huge influences on my career well 541 00:23:53,580 --> 00:23:50,409 done that's awesome so you watched the 542 00:23:55,860 --> 00:23:53,590 Apollo 11 launch on TV and I understand 543 00:23:57,539 --> 00:23:55,870 that you also invited Neil Armstrong to 544 00:23:59,490 --> 00:23:57,549 watch one of your launches I did you 545 00:24:01,350 --> 00:23:59,500 know we're allowed to invite a few VIPs 546 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:01,360 to our launches and I wrote Neil 547 00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:03,610 Armstrong a letter said I was one of the 548 00:24:08,340 --> 00:24:05,620 Ohio astronauts I told him he was one of 549 00:24:09,990 --> 00:24:08,350 my heroes as a young boy and I invited 550 00:24:11,639 --> 00:24:10,000 him to come to the launch he wrote back 551 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:11,649 said I'll be there and I was like wow 552 00:24:15,509 --> 00:24:13,570 Neil Armstrong's coming to my launch I 553 00:24:17,909 --> 00:24:15,519 was so excited and it was the day before 554 00:24:19,620 --> 00:24:17,919 launch I got a call from NASA management 555 00:24:21,090 --> 00:24:19,630 down at the Kennedy Space Center and 556 00:24:23,580 --> 00:24:21,100 they said mr. Armstrong wanted to meet 557 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:23,590 with me so my wife and I Neil Armstrong 558 00:24:27,029 --> 00:24:25,570 and his wife Carol we got to spend about 559 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:27,039 an hour together in the crew quarters 560 00:24:30,420 --> 00:24:28,210 just 561 00:24:32,580 --> 00:24:30,430 and I'm showing him around and at the 562 00:24:34,170 --> 00:24:32,590 end of our hour I had a great moment I 563 00:24:36,150 --> 00:24:34,180 was shaking his hand saying thank you 564 00:24:37,620 --> 00:24:36,160 for being here I really appreciate you 565 00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:37,630 coming to the launch and I asked him how 566 00:24:40,950 --> 00:24:39,520 long are you staying in town for meaning 567 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:40,960 how long are you gonna be in Florida for 568 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:42,970 and he looking right back in the eye he 569 00:24:46,140 --> 00:24:44,530 said how long are you in town for 570 00:24:48,300 --> 00:24:46,150 meaning I'm gonna stay here until you 571 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:48,310 launch and we launched right on time the 572 00:24:51,930 --> 00:24:50,530 next day and it was a thrill of my life 573 00:24:54,060 --> 00:24:51,940 to have him there for the launch 574 00:24:56,460 --> 00:24:54,070 incredible Don thank you for those 575 00:24:59,760 --> 00:24:56,470 memories well let's take a look back at 576 00:25:01,800 --> 00:24:59,770 Neil Armstrong the man Neil Armstrong 577 00:25:04,350 --> 00:25:01,810 was born in his grandparents farm house 578 00:25:06,690 --> 00:25:04,360 on the outskirts of Wapakoneta we sat 579 00:25:08,190 --> 00:25:06,700 down with Neil's brother and sister and 580 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:08,200 asked them to share some personal 581 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:11,050 memories of their famous brother he was 582 00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:15,610 very good at telling jokes and accent in 583 00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:18,370 the accent a Scottish Scottish accent 584 00:25:23,790 --> 00:25:21,370 right and a little bit of German 585 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:23,800 sometimes also but depending on what 586 00:25:29,250 --> 00:25:26,290 story was telling but he was good at it 587 00:25:31,770 --> 00:25:29,260 because he tells the story and he has 588 00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:31,780 this you know just a little bit of smile 589 00:25:39,420 --> 00:25:35,710 on his face and then everybody laughs 590 00:25:43,620 --> 00:25:39,430 and he laughs because he thought it was 591 00:25:49,950 --> 00:25:43,630 funny too the legacy hasn't yet been 592 00:25:53,490 --> 00:25:49,960 determined in science the doors are 593 00:25:58,920 --> 00:25:53,500 still so wide open and I really feel 594 00:26:02,100 --> 00:25:58,930 like that it helped inspire the 595 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:02,110 technical aspect of this country you 596 00:26:08,940 --> 00:26:05,530 know we had many big technical 597 00:26:12,380 --> 00:26:08,950 breakthroughs with the program NASA 598 00:26:14,090 --> 00:26:12,390 programming and now you can see that 599 00:26:18,070 --> 00:26:14,100 continuing 600 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:18,080 I think my dad would be very pleased 601 00:26:24,130 --> 00:26:21,450 with where we are now because we are on 602 00:26:27,140 --> 00:26:24,140 the cusp of another age of exploration 603 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:27,150 taking those next steps going back to 604 00:26:31,910 --> 00:26:29,490 the moon because that's the place where 605 00:26:35,270 --> 00:26:31,920 we can learn the things that we need 606 00:26:39,590 --> 00:26:35,280 when we go beyond if we can remind 607 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:39,600 everyone of how the world was uplifted 608 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:41,970 by the Apollo program and by these 609 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:45,210 endeavors I think that we have a good 610 00:26:50,060 --> 00:26:48,090 chance of staying the course and 611 00:26:53,660 --> 00:26:50,070 continuing that exploration forward 612 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:53,670 being an astronaut was our father's way 613 00:26:58,460 --> 00:26:56,010 of life that was dad's job and and we 614 00:26:59,690 --> 00:26:58,470 were all supportive and excited the 615 00:27:01,910 --> 00:26:59,700 astronauts the guys when they were up 616 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:01,920 there they they the last thing they 617 00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:04,050 wanted to do was to worry about what was 618 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:06,720 happening at home I think the wives just 619 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:09,210 tried to make sure that the family 620 00:27:13,850 --> 00:27:10,530 wasn't one of those things that they 621 00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:13,860 they had in their checklist of of things 622 00:27:19,910 --> 00:27:16,130 to be concerned about the Apollo program 623 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:19,920 inspired a generation to want to be 624 00:27:26,870 --> 00:27:24,330 better to want to work hard apply 625 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:26,880 themselves and pursue their dreams 626 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:29,610 because Apollo made it clear that dreams 627 00:27:35,780 --> 00:27:32,250 were possible and I think that made the 628 00:27:37,430 --> 00:27:35,790 world a better place now as you drive 629 00:27:39,590 --> 00:27:37,440 through town or stroll down the 630 00:27:42,830 --> 00:27:39,600 sidewalks you'll see just how over the 631 00:27:45,170 --> 00:27:42,840 moon everyone is in Wapakoneta more than 632 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:45,180 a dozen restaurants are offering special 633 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:48,090 moon themed items such as cinnamon 634 00:27:56,030 --> 00:27:51,690 pancakes and a Buckeye on the moon 635 00:28:00,080 --> 00:27:56,040 Sunday it seems every shop is selling 636 00:28:04,790 --> 00:28:00,090 first on the moon merchandise souvenirs 637 00:28:08,420 --> 00:28:04,800 and memorabilia and history is all 638 00:28:10,580 --> 00:28:08,430 around us it's a part of history that I 639 00:28:13,700 --> 00:28:10,590 want to be able to say that I helped to 640 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:13,710 preserve it's not so much you know what 641 00:28:19,130 --> 00:28:16,770 was it like when he lived here for me 642 00:28:20,510 --> 00:28:19,140 personally but to be able to preserve 643 00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:20,520 part of history 644 00:28:24,900 --> 00:28:23,370 and keep it intact for future 645 00:28:28,870 --> 00:28:24,910 generations 646 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:28,880 and with me now is Dante Centauri with 647 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:31,850 the Armstrong Museum Dante welcome so 648 00:28:34,330 --> 00:28:33,290 let's get straight into it tell me a 649 00:28:35,890 --> 00:28:34,340 little bit about what people can 650 00:28:37,900 --> 00:28:35,900 experience if they were to visit the 651 00:28:39,670 --> 00:28:37,910 museum sure well the Armstrong Guerin 652 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:39,680 Space Museum opened three years to the 653 00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:43,130 day after Apollo 11 landed in 1972 we 654 00:28:46,570 --> 00:28:44,720 have artifacts from Neil Armstrong's 655 00:28:48,010 --> 00:28:46,580 early life and career the airplane he 656 00:28:49,660 --> 00:28:48,020 learned to fly in right next to the 657 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:49,670 Gemini 8 capsule and he flew his first 658 00:28:54,910 --> 00:28:52,130 spaceflight in as well as the Apollo 659 00:28:57,820 --> 00:28:54,920 backup suit from Apollo 11 actual suit 660 00:28:59,350 --> 00:28:57,830 that was part of his mission and to top 661 00:29:01,780 --> 00:28:59,360 it all off we also have a moon rock 662 00:29:03,330 --> 00:29:01,790 collected from Apollo 11 collected by 663 00:29:05,980 --> 00:29:03,340 Neil Armstrong himself on that mission 664 00:29:08,350 --> 00:29:05,990 awesome now how does it feel for you to 665 00:29:09,670 --> 00:29:08,360 be entrusted with preserving the legacy 666 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:09,680 of an American Hero 667 00:29:14,380 --> 00:29:12,770 well it's very humbling but the best 668 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:14,390 part here is there's a tremendous team 669 00:29:18,550 --> 00:29:16,850 there's staff the the board everyone 670 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:18,560

spacewalks welcome sunny 679 00:29:43,210 --> 00:29:41,030 hi ty it's great to be here in my pack 680 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:43,220 Aneta yes it's awesome here so how does 681 00:29:48,670 --> 00:29:45,410 research aboard the International Space 682 00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:48,680 Station help us expand exploration not 683 00:29:53,890 --> 00:29:51,110 only on the moon but also later getting 684 00:29:55,750 --> 00:29:53,900 to Mars right so I've had the luxury of 685 00:29:57,490 --> 00:29:55,760 being on the space station two times and 686 00:29:59,430 --> 00:29:57,500 I've seen we we're doing all sorts of 687 00:30:01,630 --> 00:29:59,440 experiments on propulsion systems 688 00:30:03,610 --> 00:30:01,640 life-support systems even spacesuit 689 00:30:05,230 --> 00:30:03,620 systems that will help us on our next 690 00:30:07,390 --> 00:30:05,240 endeavors back to the moon and even 691 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:07,400 further out of ler low-earth orbit 692 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:10,610 beyond into Mars well you're also set to 693 00:30:15,010 --> 00:30:13,130 return to space on one of NASA's 694 00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:15,020 upcoming Commercial Crew missions tell 695 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:15,710 me more about that 696 00:30:20,590 --> 00:30:17,930 yeah I'm scheduled to be on one of the 697 00:30:21,940 --> 00:30:20,600 first Boeing Starliner flights to go to 698 00:30:25,540 --> 00:30:21,950 the International Space Station 699 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:25,550 along with SpaceX is gret Dragon 2 which 700 00:30:29,470 --> 00:30:27,170 will take some of our colleagues up to 701 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:29,480 the space station and this contract to 702 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:31,250 allow these other companies to be able 703 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:33,170 to take people up will allow NASA to 704 00:30:36,770 --> 00:30:35,330 refocus on getting out of low Earth 705 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:36,780 orbit back to the moon and 706 00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:38,370 potentially onto Mars for the next 707 00:30:41,990 --> 00:30:40,320 generation so all of the work that's 708 00:30:43,940 --> 00:30:42,000 going on the International Space Station 709 00:30:46,250 --> 00:30:43,950 including these commercial companies 710 00:30:48,050 --> 00:30:46,260 will help us enable us to go further so 711 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:48,060 are you scheduled to conduct any more 712 00:30:52,430 --> 00:30:50,610 spacewalks honey well you know the space 713 00:30:54,290 --> 00:30:52,440 station is about 20 years old it's like 714 00:30:57,110 --> 00:30:54,300 an old house and things need to be fixed 715 00:30:59,420 --> 00:30:57,120 and we're doing new things to add on to 716 00:31:00,830 --> 00:30:59,430 it so that's it's pretty probable and I 717 00:31:02,630 --> 00:31:00,840 would be looking forward to doing that 718 00:31:04,940 --> 00:31:02,640 all right sunny thank you for that and 719 00:31:11,420 --> 00:31:04,950 thanks from here in Wapakoneta let's 720 00:31:12,710 --> 00:31:11,430 head to DC thanks ty NASA and the 721 00:31:14,810 --> 00:31:12,720 Smithsonian National Air and Space 722 00:31:17,060 --> 00:31:14,820 Museum are hosting this celebration of 723 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:17,070 the 50th anniversary of the first man on 724 00:31:19,580 --> 00:31:17,850 the moon 725 00:31:21,710 --> 00:31:19,590 we've a lot going on here right here on 726 00:31:24,140 --> 00:31:21,720 the mall there are tents highlighting 727 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:24,150 both the Apollo program and today's moon 728 00:31:29,750 --> 00:31:27,210 to Mars plans Lego has an incredible 729 00:31:34,850 --> 00:31:29,760 Apollo 11 display that took days to 730 00:31:36,290 --> 00:31:34,860 build and Snoopy is here of course 731 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:36,300 Snoopy was the name of the lunar module 732 00:31:41,690 --> 00:31:38,850 on Apollo 10 the dress rehearsal for the 733 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:41,700 actual moon landing and as you've 734 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:43,650 probably seen people in the National 735 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:45,210 Mall have been wowed this week by a 736 00:31:50,420 --> 00:31:47,370 high-def projection of the Saturn 5 737 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:50,430 rocket on the Washington Monument we'll 738 00:31:54,610 --> 00:31:52,170 actually be able to see a recreation of 739 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:54,620 a launch here tonight and tomorrow night 740 00:32:01,550 --> 00:31:57,210 it really just gives you a sense of the 741 00:32:03,170 --> 00:32:01,560 scale of that massive rocket Apollo 11 742 00:32:05,300 --> 00:32:03,180 was the culmination of an incredible 743 00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:05,310 national effort but started with a 744 00:32:16,670 --> 00:32:08,640 promise from President John F Kennedy to 745 00:32:21,690 --> 00:32:19,590 we choose to go to the moon in this 746 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:21,700 decade and do the other things not 747 00:32:27,390 --> 00:32:24,490 because they are easy but because they 748 00:32:29,790 --> 00:32:27,400 are hard at the direction of the 749 00:32:33,090 --> 00:32:29,800 President of the United States it is the 750 00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:33,100 stated policy of this administration and 751 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:35,430 the United States of America to return 752 00:32:50,340 --> 00:32:38,650 American astronauts to the moon within 753 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:50,350 the next five years so now NASA is 754 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:52,570 facing another bold challenge and this 755 00:32:57,420 --> 00:32:55,210 time the ultimate goal isn't just JFK's 756 00:32:59,610 --> 00:32:57,430 goal of land on the moon and return 757 00:33:01,680 --> 00:32:59,620 safely to earth but establishing a 758 00:33:05,490 --> 00:33:01,690 sustainable presence on the moon and 759 00:33:06,420 --> 00:33:05,500 eventually heading off to Mars so we are 760 00:33:08,490 --> 00:33:06,430 going to be doing some interesting 761 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:08,500 science when we're there and that's one 762 00:33:11,940 --> 00:33:09,730 of the really exciting things for 763 00:33:14,820 --> 00:33:11,950 example we will be able to look in the 764 00:33:17,070 --> 00:33:14,830 giant craters these deep craters in the 765 00:33:18,510 --> 00:33:17,080 southern pole region of the Moon their 766 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:18,520 places down there that never gets 767 00:33:21,210 --> 00:33:19,930 sunlight and we think there's water 768 00:33:25,260 --> 00:33:21,220 there so we're gonna be going and 769 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:25,270 checking that out now let's go to Adam 770 00:33:36,690 --> 00:33:27,730 Savage with astronaut Randy Bresnik 771 00:33:38,670 --> 00:33:36,700 inside the Air and Space Museum Randy 772 00:33:40,290 --> 00:33:38,680 you've flown the shuttle you've flown on 773 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:40,300 the shuttle and spent time on the 774 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:42,850 International Space Station I'm curious 775 00:33:47,250 --> 00:33:45,010 the first time you open the hatch to get 776 00:33:49,380 --> 00:33:47,260 on the ISS given all the training you 777 00:33:52,380 --> 00:33:49,390 had already had him till that point what 778 00:33:54,810 --> 00:33:52,390 what surprised you and what felt exactly 779 00:33:57,090 --> 00:33:54,820 like you expected it surprised me the 780 00:33:58,890 --> 00:33:57,100 most was the fact that there were some 781 00:34:00,690 --> 00:33:58,900 crew members on Space Station I hadn't 782 00:34:01,710 --> 00:34:00,700 met yet I had trained with you know they 783 00:34:04,170 --> 00:34:01,720 were up there doing the long-duration 784 00:34:05,340 --> 00:34:04,180 mission and so it turns out I have a 785 00:34:06,270 --> 00:34:05,350 callsign come from the Marine Corps 786 00:34:09,690 --> 00:34:06,280 being a fighter pilot 787 00:34:11,100 --> 00:34:09,700 it's comrade and so it was interesting 788 00:34:12,780 --> 00:34:11,110 we found the space station 789 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:12,790 you know these Russian crew members who 790 00:34:17,670 --> 00:34:14,170 I had man who had been you know 791 00:34:21,350 --> 00:34:17,680 adversaries of my f-18 and Marika they 792 00:34:23,670 --> 00:34:21,360 here Michael hey comrade come over here 793 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:23,680 well shock to me when they heard 794 00:34:27,720 --> 00:34:25,810 you know somebody used that in such a 795 00:34:29,970 --> 00:34:27,730 normal term home from the crew members 796 00:34:31,380 --> 00:34:29,980 but what was neat about it was even 797 00:34:33,900 --> 00:34:31,390 though these were folks are heading it 798 00:34:35,790 --> 00:34:33,910 all that flowed across the hatch and it 799 00:34:37,650 --> 00:34:35,800 was big bear hugs as if we were like 800 00:34:39,540 --> 00:34:37,660 long-lost family members who hadn't seen 801 00:34:42,150 --> 00:34:39,550 each other you know in a few weeks and 802 00:34:43,380 --> 00:34:42,160 we're just catching up and cook me in 803 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:43,390 because I only had you know two and a 804 00:34:47,550 --> 00:34:44,890 half days three days on orbit at that 805 00:34:49,380 --> 00:34:47,560 point that here we are now the crew from 806 00:34:51,870 --> 00:34:49,390 Atlantis the crew those on station 12 807 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:51,880 human beings in this magnificent 808 00:34:56,610 --> 00:34:53,890 orbiting laboratory 250 miles above the 809 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:56,620 earth going 17,000 miles an hour and we 810 00:34:59,520 --> 00:34:57,850 were that was it that was all of 811 00:35:01,830 --> 00:34:59,530 humanity in orbit right we were there 812 00:35:03,420 --> 00:35:01,840 doing the shared mission and and just 813 00:35:04,620 --> 00:35:03,430 how that made us all just part of this 814 00:35:06,510 --> 00:35:04,630 one thing didn't matter what language we 815 00:35:08,610 --> 00:35:06,520 spoke or where we came from there we 816 00:35:08,910 --> 00:35:08,620 were just one family all of it doing the 817 00:35:11,790 --> 00:35:08,920 work 818 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:11,800 amazing I know you you've we were 819 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:13,450 talking before and you said you spent 32 820 00:35:18,630 --> 00:35:16,690 hours in space during spacewalks um what 821 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:18,640 do you get used to and what always 822 00:35:22,980 --> 00:35:20,770 surprises you about getting into and 823 00:35:24,630 --> 00:35:22,990 going outside the spacecraft we'll start 824 00:35:26,700 --> 00:35:24,640 with that part first because I don't 825 00:35:28,980 --> 00:35:26,710 think literature first your fifth or you 826 00:35:32,190 --> 00:35:28,990 know I'm like Mike la your generosity on 827 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:32,200 your ninth or tenth when you open that 828 00:35:36,690 --> 00:35:34,450 hatch which Ana space station opens yeah 829 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:36,700 right you know you open it up you're 830 00:35:41,910 --> 00:35:38,170 inside a steel mill cocoon the whole 831 00:35:44,310 --> 00:35:41,920 time and you open the hatch and it is 832 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:44,320 250 miles or 400 kilometres straight out 833 00:35:49,230 --> 00:35:46,930 and so Frank anybody you know has a fear 834 00:35:50,610 --> 00:35:49,240 of heights you know it's it's daunting 835 00:35:51,930 --> 00:35:50,620 but for anybody who doesn't have a fear 836 00:35:53,730 --> 00:35:51,940 of heights if you look the edge of a 837 00:35:55,620 --> 00:35:53,740 tall building and you stay on the edge 838 00:35:58,050 --> 00:35:55,630 and put your toes on lean over your body 839 00:35:59,910 --> 00:35:58,060 tells you get back yeah I mean that you 840 00:36:01,950 --> 00:35:59,920 have that intense really intense feeling 841 00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:01,960 except type times a thousand two or 50 842 00:36:08,850 --> 00:36:07,510 miles up okay I know I'm not gonna fall 843 00:36:10,530 --> 00:36:08,860 I'm gonna float even though I mean this 844 00:36:12,540 --> 00:36:10,540 massive you know my own personal space 845 00:36:14,010 --> 00:36:12,550 suit going out the door I know that if I 846 00:36:15,870 --> 00:36:14,020 go out there let go I'm not gonna fall 847 00:36:17,670 --> 00:36:15,880 but your brain your whole life has told 848 00:36:18,690 --> 00:36:17,680 you that you it yeah you go out there 849 00:36:21,330 --> 00:36:18,700 and just like we practiced in the 850 00:36:22,770 --> 00:36:21,340 neutral buoyancy laboratory when we pull 851 00:36:25,170 --> 00:36:22,780 down in Houston where we have a space 852 00:36:26,370 --> 00:36:25,180 station do you train you reach out you 853 00:36:27,390 --> 00:36:26,380 put your hand on the handrails you don't 854 00:36:29,490 --> 00:36:27,400 you turn your body the way you normally 855 00:36:31,740 --> 00:36:29,500 do you put out your waste tether you put 856 00:36:34,050 --> 00:36:31,750 out your you know a lot of your strength 857 00:36:35,140 --> 00:36:34,060 tether and you go ahead and you know do 858 00:36:36,849 --> 00:36:35,150 what you trained for 859 00:36:39,009 --> 00:36:36,859 it's just a view instead of being you 860 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:39,019 know concrete 40 feet below you in the 861 00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:40,130 bottom of the pool you now have the 862 00:36:43,839 --> 00:36:42,710 earth going by at five miles a second to 863 00:36:45,549 --> 00:36:43,849 distract you while you're out there oh 864 00:36:47,829 --> 00:36:45,559 my goodness I'm curious about your 865 00:36:50,259 --> 00:36:47,839 thoughts about how apollo-era technology 866 00:36:52,479 --> 00:36:50,269 led to the technology that got you into 867 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:52,489 space well there was a basis for 868 00:36:56,589 --> 00:36:55,130 everything I mean that it's I am in awe 869 00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:56,599 just like you and everybody else 870 00:36:59,650 --> 00:36:58,130 especially today it takes time to 871 00:37:03,459 --> 00:36:59,660 remember and commemorate this amazing 872 00:37:06,999 --> 00:37:03,469 you know historic achievement I mean we 873 00:37:08,739 --> 00:37:07,009 had not overhead but 15 minutes in space 874 00:37:11,589 --> 00:37:08,749 when the President Kennedy challenged us 875 00:37:14,109 --> 00:37:11,599 to go to the moon and within a decade we 876 00:37:17,259 --> 00:37:14,119 had the O'Neill buzz and my calls there 877 00:37:18,789 --> 00:37:17,269 on Apollo 9 apart sorry Apollo 11 that 878 00:37:20,170 --> 00:37:18,799 is astounding and everything we've done 879 00:37:23,049 --> 00:37:20,180 since then has been based on those 880 00:37:24,759 --> 00:37:23,059 amazing investments in technology and 881 00:37:27,999 --> 00:37:24,769 the capabilities to live and work in 882 00:37:30,309 --> 00:37:28,009 space and and the suit on space o'clock 883 00:37:31,539 --> 00:37:30,319 is the grandson of the suit that was on 884 00:37:34,930 --> 00:37:31,549 Apollo on a lunar surface 885 00:37:36,969 --> 00:37:34,940 well famously a Buzz Aldrin was not able 886 00:37:39,219 --> 00:37:36,979 to be here but we do have a buzz tribute 887 00:37:41,870 --> 00:37:39,229 video which we can run let's run this 888 00:38:06,230 --> 00:37:41,880 and see a little bit about Buzz 889 00:38:27,489 --> 00:38:14,480 [Music] 890 00:38:32,479 --> 00:38:30,289 ready are you excited about the future 891 00:38:33,739 --> 00:38:32,489 of space travel absolutely in the 15 892 00:38:35,749 --> 00:38:33,749 years I've met NASA there's never been a 893 00:38:37,459 --> 00:38:35,759 more exciting time we have got you know 894 00:38:38,839 --> 00:38:37,469 two commercial vehicles they're getting 895 00:38:40,189 --> 00:38:38,849 ready to launch up and put people on the 896 00:38:41,380 --> 00:38:40,199 space station we've had 19 years of 897 00:38:44,839 --> 00:38:41,390 continuous presence on the space station 898 00:38:46,339 --> 00:38:44,849 we've got you know Artemis getting set 899 00:38:48,019 --> 00:38:46,349 up or we have got the Orion space pickle 900 00:38:49,130 --> 00:38:48,029 board the world's largest rocket the SLS 901 00:38:51,259 --> 00:38:49,140 and then we're going to start launching 902 00:38:52,969 --> 00:38:51,269 humans on in two years amazing you know 903 00:38:54,829 --> 00:38:52,979 around the moon again and they've never 904 00:38:56,149 --> 00:38:54,839 been a better time for it Brandi thank 905 00:39:05,830 --> 00:38:56,159 you so much for joining us here today I 906 00:39:09,460 --> 00:39:07,810 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were 907 00:39:12,190 --> 00:39:09,470 almost stuck on the surface of the Moon 908 00:39:13,720 --> 00:39:12,200 as the crew was coming back in they had 909 00:39:15,550 --> 00:39:13,730 to take off their looks large space 910 00:39:17,590 --> 00:39:15,560 suits and they were pretty big and the 911 00:39:19,510 --> 00:39:17,600 lunar module was pretty small and the 912 00:39:21,460 --> 00:39:19,520 process of doing that was bumped up 913 00:39:23,410 --> 00:39:21,470 against the engine arm switch the switch 914 00:39:25,090 --> 00:39:23,420 that was critical to turning on the 915 00:39:27,460 --> 00:39:25,100 rocket motor that wouldn't allow them to 916 00:39:30,070 --> 00:39:27,470 launch off the surface of a moon the 917 00:39:31,990 --> 00:39:30,080 switch broke off and so when the time 918 00:39:33,670 --> 00:39:32,000 came to flip that switch to get ready to 919 00:39:35,230 --> 00:39:33,680 launch off the surface of the Moon there 920 00:39:37,510 --> 00:39:35,240 was no switch there to flip what's he 921 00:39:40,180 --> 00:39:37,520 gonna do buzz was thinking fast he pulls 922 00:39:42,220 --> 00:39:40,190 out a felt-tip pen and jams it in to 923 00:39:45,010 --> 00:39:42,230 that spot and is able to use the felt 924 00:39:46,300 --> 00:39:45,020 tip pen as a pseudo switch and they 925 00:39:48,940 --> 00:39:46,310 successfully get off the surface of the 926 00:39:54,470 --> 00:39:48,950 moon and come home 927 00:39:59,370 --> 00:39:57,210 my grandfather President Kennedy 928 00:40:01,320 --> 00:39:59,380 challenged Americans to send a man to 929 00:40:03,390 --> 00:40:01,330 the moon not because it would be easy 930 00:40:05,940 --> 00:40:03,400 but because it would be so hard 931 00:40:07,860 --> 00:40:05,950 NASA and our entire nation answered his 932 00:40:10,740 --> 00:40:07,870 call to action and made that dream a 933 00:40:12,780 --> 00:40:10,750 reality today we salute the men and 934 00:40:14,580 --> 00:40:12,790 women of the Apollo generation and look 935 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:14,590 forward to the future and the new 936 00:40:30,710 --> 00:40:27,830 and looking now over the water we're 937 00:40:32,810 --> 00:40:30,720 coming up on launch complex 39 here at 938 00:40:35,150 --> 00:40:32,820 Kennedy Space Center the two pads that 939 00:40:36,410 --> 00:40:35,160 you see in the distance there Pat B is 940 00:40:38,780 --> 00:40:36,420 where we're going to launch the first 941 00:40:41,180 --> 00:40:38,790 woman to the moon and the next man to 942 00:40:44,990 --> 00:40:41,190 the moon right there actually pad a 943 00:40:47,570 --> 00:40:45,000 which is SpaceX's pad which is currently 944 00:40:49,580 --> 00:40:47,580 of course launching their rockets the 945 00:40:52,700 --> 00:40:49,590 heavy and the Falcon but it's a 946 00:40:55,610 --> 00:40:52,710 beautiful shot as we fly over the Banana 947 00:40:58,760 --> 00:40:55,620 River and into that launch complex they 948 00:41:03,110 --> 00:40:58,770 are 39a where of course many a historic 949 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:03,120 launch happened here and we continue to 950 00:41:06,740 --> 00:41:04,530 celebrate as well yeah absolutely 951 00:41:09,380 --> 00:41:06,750 beautiful and the mood here is just 952 00:41:12,050 --> 00:41:09,390 euphoric I mean so many people in awe of 953 00:41:12,530 --> 00:41:12,060 this nation's amazing achievement fifty 954 00:41:15,980 --> 00:41:12,540 years ago 955 00:41:17,780 --> 00:41:15,990 indeed and it's a warm day here in 956 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:17,790 Florida you can see the clouds bubbling 957 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:21,210 up over 39a on the crew access arm that 958 00:41:26,150 --> 00:41:24,330 extends out from that pad it's not quite 959 00:41:27,980 --> 00:41:26,160 as hot as the rest of the country though 960 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:27,990 because there's a heat wave that's 961 00:41:32,420 --> 00:41:30,570 currently got the grip of the nation 962 00:41:34,070 --> 00:41:32,430 most of the nation but we're still 963 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:34,080 pretty toasty here in Florida and in 964 00:41:37,730 --> 00:41:36,570 fact Murray we're celebrating moon fest 965 00:41:39,980 --> 00:41:37,740 at this time 966 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:39,990 a celebration of course of the 50th 967 00:41:47,210 --> 00:41:42,650 anniversary of Apollo where our own 968 00:41:49,940 --> 00:41:47,220 employees got to go out and to the 969 00:41:52,730 --> 00:41:49,950 gantry eat moon pies and dress up in 970 00:41:54,710 --> 00:41:52,740 1960s attire I think they're already out 971 00:41:58,370 --> 00:41:54,720 of the moon pies so we didn't I don't 972 00:41:59,840 --> 00:41:58,380 know if anybody saved any for us but I 973 00:42:01,850 --> 00:41:59,850 they did they gave him away for free 974 00:42:04,490 --> 00:42:01,860 that was uh that was a nice gesture yes 975 00:42:06,710 --> 00:42:04,500 on this historic day yes absolutely and 976 00:42:09,650 --> 00:42:06,720 as we continue to celebrate the historic 977 00:42:11,510 --> 00:42:09,660 achievement of 1969 we look ahead to 978 00:42:14,870 --> 00:42:11,520 traveling back to the moon and on to 979 00:42:16,850 --> 00:42:14,880 Mars just as in the Apollo area era we 980 00:42:19,130 --> 00:42:16,860 need many elements to get there from 981 00:42:21,350 --> 00:42:19,140 rockets and spacecraft to astronaut life 982 00:42:23,450 --> 00:42:21,360 support and more all in support of 983 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:23,460 science and exploration on the surface 984 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:25,530 there's a lot of work already being done 985 00:42:29,780 --> 00:42:27,570 to make that happen with our Artemis 986 00:42:32,240 --> 00:42:29,790 program we're preparing to launch our 987 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:32,250 new Space Launch System rocket and the 988 00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:34,410 Orion which is an entirely new space 989 00:42:38,359 --> 00:42:36,480 capsule we're also developing a 990 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:38,369 eight-way at the moon will have new 991 00:42:43,070 --> 00:42:40,770 robotic and human landers and new 992 00:42:45,590 --> 00:42:43,080 spacesuits all this is happening while 993 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:45,600 advances in science and technology will 994 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:47,490 expand our knowledge and enrich life 995 00:42:52,070 --> 00:42:50,490 back here on earth and there's that list 996 00:42:53,450 --> 00:42:52,080 there those items I was just telling you 997 00:42:54,950 --> 00:42:53,460 about and we'll be telling you more 998 00:42:56,990 --> 00:42:54,960 about each of those elements you see 999 00:42:58,970 --> 00:42:57,000 there on your screen throughout the show 1000 00:43:00,920 --> 00:42:58,980 today and it's important each one of 1001 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:00,930 those elements as they come together to 1002 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:03,450 form this program of the future artemis 1003 00:43:09,650 --> 00:43:07,170 is a very complex program but we want to 1004 00:43:13,099 --> 00:43:09,660 go back to the moon sustainably and 1005 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:13,109 printable and permanently - in order to 1006 00:43:18,020 --> 00:43:15,210 test our technology to go onto Mars so 1007 00:43:19,670 --> 00:43:18,030 it's all very key absolutely and we're 1008 00:43:21,650 --> 00:43:19,680 going to see coming up after this show 1009 00:43:23,599 --> 00:43:21,660 today starting at 3 o'clock we've got a 1010 00:43:25,490 --> 00:43:23,609 show called our stem show that's going 1011 00:43:27,890 --> 00:43:25,500 to show you how students are breaking 1012 00:43:29,300 --> 00:43:27,900 down a mission to the moon that's gonna 1013 00:43:31,609 --> 00:43:29,310 be a great show make sure you stay tuned 1014 00:43:34,970 --> 00:43:31,619 for that at 3 o'clock right here on NASA 1015 00:43:58,290 --> 00:43:34,980 TV forward to the moon our stem show 1016 00:44:02,860 --> 00:44:00,520 did you know that one of the most 1017 00:44:04,500 --> 00:44:02,870 valuable samples brought back from the 1018 00:44:06,100 --> 00:44:04,510 moon by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin 1019 00:44:08,350 --> 00:44:06,110 almost didn't happen 1020 00:44:10,180 --> 00:44:08,360 neela buzz had a series of containers 1021 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:10,190 that they put their lunar samples in and 1022 00:44:13,270 --> 00:44:11,330 they mostly went around and picked up 1023 00:44:16,150 --> 00:44:13,280 rocks but right near the end of their 1024 00:44:17,860 --> 00:44:16,160 walk on the moon as Neil was preparing 1025 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:17,870 the boxes that shipped back up to the 1026 00:44:22,090 --> 00:44:20,330 lunar module for returned back to earth 1027 00:44:23,470 --> 00:44:22,100 Neil looked into one of the boxes I 1028 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:23,480 realized that there wasn't a whole lot 1029 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:26,570 in there he thought that's not right we 1030 00:44:30,550 --> 00:44:28,490 should be bringing more back so he took 1031 00:44:32,020 --> 00:44:30,560 the box and scooped it along the surface 1032 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:32,030 and pulled a whole bunch of dirt from 1033 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:34,490 the surface of the moon into the box it 1034 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:37,490 turns out that that dirt the lunar 1035 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:39,650 regolith was really important to helping 1036 00:44:43,630 --> 00:44:42,170 us understand the solar wind and other 1037 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:43,640 properties of moon and that was 1038 00:44:47,410 --> 00:44:44,810 information that we didn't get from 1039 00:44:48,850 --> 00:44:47,420 rocks so that impromptu sample 1040 00:44:50,470 --> 00:44:48,860 collection is actually one of the most 1041 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:50,480 valuable samples that we brought back 1042 00:44:59,430 --> 00:44:52,570 from the moon Apollo 1043 00:45:04,130 --> 00:45:01,770 welcome to the u.s. bass know that the 1044 00:45:06,599 --> 00:45:04,140 Apollo guidance computer 1045 00:45:08,819 --> 00:45:06,609 I'm the Karla friend and this is the 1046 00:45:10,650 --> 00:45:08,829 official visitor center for NASA's 1047 00:45:12,299 --> 00:45:10,660 Marshall Space Flight Center now 1048 00:45:14,339 --> 00:45:12,309 Marshall has been designing and building 1049 00:45:18,210 --> 00:45:14,349 the rockets that send astronauts into 1050 00:45:21,059 --> 00:45:18,220 space since 1960 in fact this machine 1051 00:45:23,220 --> 00:45:21,069 here is an authentic f1 engine that 1052 00:45:25,799 --> 00:45:23,230 powered the Saturn five the vehicle they 1053 00:45:27,839 --> 00:45:25,809 launched the Apollo missions the Saturn 1054 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:27,849 fives chief architect was Marshalls 1055 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:30,010 first director Werner von Braun and 1056 00:45:35,970 --> 00:45:33,130 throughout the 1950s von Braun promoted 1057 00:45:38,250 --> 00:45:35,980 space travel he also helps spur much of 1058 00:45:41,339 --> 00:45:38,260 the technology that first took Americans 1059 00:45:43,230 --> 00:45:41,349 into space and now America is ready for 1060 00:45:45,720 --> 00:45:43,240 the next wave of human exploration 1061 00:45:47,730 --> 00:45:45,730 NASA's Artemis mission which will take 1062 00:45:49,700 --> 00:45:47,740 Americans to the moon and will set the 1063 00:45:52,289 --> 00:45:49,710 stage for putting humans on Mars 1064 00:45:54,059 --> 00:45:52,299 Marshall is again working on the rocket 1065 00:45:57,599 --> 00:45:54,069 to get them there the Space Launch 1066 00:46:00,359 --> 00:45:57,609 System or SLS and Marshall we are proud 1067 00:46:05,420 --> 00:46:00,369 of our heritage of fire and smoke here's 1068 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:27,200 [Music] 1069 00:46:58,400 --> 00:46:55,670 joining me now is astronaut Rex Walheim 1070 00:47:00,380 --> 00:46:58,410 now he flew three different space 1071 00:47:04,010 --> 00:47:00,390 shuttle missions including the very last 1072 00:47:06,170 --> 00:47:04,020 one sts-135 hi Rex how are you Carl it's 1073 00:47:08,570 --> 00:47:06,180 great to be here now you didn't get a 1074 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:08,580 chance to ride on a Saturn 5 but tell us 1075 00:47:13,220 --> 00:47:10,890 what it's like as an astronaut to be in 1076 00:47:14,690 --> 00:47:13,230 a rocket at liftoff well probably the 1077 00:47:16,190 --> 00:47:14,700 most remember one is your first time and 1078 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:16,200 you're loaded into the rocket about a 1079 00:47:18,710 --> 00:47:17,610 couple hours of for launch and you're 1080 00:47:20,990 --> 00:47:18,720 strapped in it feels like you're sitting 1081 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:21,000 in this very high-rise building solid as 1082 00:47:24,650 --> 00:47:22,770 a rock then about six seconds before 1083 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:24,660 launch the main engine start up and even 1084 00:47:27,500 --> 00:47:25,890 though you're still bolted the pad it 1085 00:47:28,700 --> 00:47:27,510 shakes like it's coming apart it's 1086 00:47:30,230 --> 00:47:28,710 really amazing and then if the engines 1087 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:30,240 outfit great for six seconds and the 1088 00:47:33,740 --> 00:47:31,890 solid rocket boosters light and then you 1089 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:33,750 feel that jolt and you lift off and it's 1090 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:36,090 an incredible ride from zero to 17,500 1091 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:37,410 miles an hour and eight and a half 1092 00:47:41,930 --> 00:47:40,530 minutes that sounds incredible now as we 1093 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:41,940 look back on Apollo 11 1094 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:43,770 what are your thoughts as an astronaut 1095 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:45,930 about re-establishing a human presence 1096 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:47,970 beyond Earth orbit well I think it's so 1097 00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:49,530 important cuz the Apollo program they 1098 00:47:52,820 --> 00:47:51,330 went to the frontier to the moon farther 1099 00:47:54,710 --> 00:47:52,830 than any humans has ever traveled in 1100 00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:54,720 history and we need to get back there so 1101 00:47:57,260 --> 00:47:55,950 we can learn how to do that again 1102 00:47:59,000 --> 00:47:57,270 because it's very difficult to get there 1103 00:47:59,480 --> 00:47:59,010 we haven't done it in decades we want to 1104 00:48:01,040 --> 00:47:59,490 go there 1105 00:48:04,430 --> 00:48:01,050 learn how to do it and go beyond and go 1106 00:48:07,430 --> 00:48:04,440 to Mars now we actually have a social 1107 00:48:09,980 --> 00:48:07,440 media question one Manesh on twitter 1108 00:48:11,510 --> 00:48:09,990 asks what is NASA's plan for future 1109 00:48:13,130 --> 00:48:11,520 astronaut programs 1110 00:48:14,420 --> 00:48:13,140 well first future astronaut program is 1111 00:48:15,740 --> 00:48:14,430 similar to the ones today we'll select 1112 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:15,750 the best and the brightest the folks 1113 00:48:18,950 --> 00:48:17,370 from all across the country the most 1114 00:48:20,420 --> 00:48:18,960 diverse backgrounds we can get the 1115 00:48:21,830 --> 00:48:20,430 people who've shown that they can excel 1116 00:48:23,390 --> 00:48:21,840 in various different types of functions 1117 00:48:24,380 --> 00:48:23,400 and we'll bring them all over on the 1118 00:48:25,850 --> 00:48:24,390 Johnson Space Center and try to 1119 00:48:27,650 --> 00:48:25,860 interview - who's gonna work the best 1120 00:48:28,940 --> 00:48:27,660 it'll be very similar now except there's 1121 00:48:30,950 --> 00:48:28,950 gonna be a different dimension with the 1122 00:48:32,570 --> 00:48:30,960 the autonomy that we're gonna need and 1123 00:48:33,830 --> 00:48:32,580 more of the expeditionary behavior where 1124 00:48:35,060 --> 00:48:33,840 where people are going farther than 1125 00:48:37,100 --> 00:48:35,070 we've ever gone before and they'll be 1126 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:37,110 far from so far from Earth that'll take 1127 00:48:40,010 --> 00:48:38,370 minutes and minutes for just 1128 00:48:41,210 --> 00:48:40,020 communications go back and forth so we 1129 00:48:42,980 --> 00:48:41,220 have to become four operating by 1130 00:48:44,180 --> 00:48:42,990 themselves but for the most part it 1131 00:48:46,610 --> 00:48:44,190 would be very similar to the way we pick 1132 00:48:48,710 --> 00:48:46,620 astronauts today thanks Rex 1133 00:48:51,500 --> 00:48:48,720 you know today thousands of NASA 1134 00:48:54,650 --> 00:48:51,510 employees contractors and suppliers are 1135 00:48:57,140 --> 00:48:54,660 working in all 50 states to turn our 1136 00:48:58,089 --> 00:48:57,150 plans into reality the Apollo program 1137 00:49:00,130 --> 00:48:58,099 also 1138 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:00,140 was a nationwide effort on a giant scale 1139 00:49:05,769 --> 00:49:03,170 with so many unsung heroes behind the 1140 00:49:07,660 --> 00:49:05,779 famous names and faces and many Apollo 1141 00:49:09,940 --> 00:49:07,670 era veterans are right here in 1142 00:49:13,660 --> 00:49:09,950 Huntsville let's hear from a few of them 1143 00:49:15,069 --> 00:49:13,670 about their era most of us were just out 1144 00:49:17,950 --> 00:49:15,079 of college didn't have much of a 1145 00:49:19,450 --> 00:49:17,960 experience but here's what challenge 1146 00:49:21,370 --> 00:49:19,460 we're gonna do something in ten months 1147 00:49:24,579 --> 00:49:21,380 it's never been done before I mean you 1148 00:49:26,829 --> 00:49:24,589 never went home with your desk cleaned 1149 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:26,839 off it was just so much to do well you 1150 00:49:31,390 --> 00:49:29,690 were just all heads down trying to get 1151 00:49:33,519 --> 00:49:31,400 ready and you know it didn't matter that 1152 00:49:36,370 --> 00:49:33,529 I was a co-op it didn't matter that I 1153 00:49:38,620 --> 00:49:36,380 was 19 years old didn't mind working 80 1154 00:49:39,609 --> 00:49:38,630 bucks eight hours a week because when 1155 00:49:42,489 --> 00:49:39,619 you were gonna do something different 1156 00:49:44,950 --> 00:49:42,499 you didn't go home until you finished 1157 00:49:47,109 --> 00:49:44,960 her work that was pretty standard in 1158 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:47,119 those days late to bed early to rise 1159 00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:50,690 work like hell and advertise and we were 1160 00:49:55,170 --> 00:50:13,620 [Music] 1161 00:50:17,730 --> 00:50:15,420 the thing about the moon that I thought 1162 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:17,740 was peculiar was when the Sun was almost 1163 00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:19,690 overhead and it was nude down below the 1164 00:50:23,670 --> 00:50:21,130 moon appeared to be a warm and a 1165 00:50:26,980 --> 00:50:23,680 friendly place near dawn or dusk place 1166 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:26,990 looked distinctly unfriendly 1167 00:50:49,170 --> 00:50:45,990 what a great tribute to Apollo 11 1168 00:50:51,510 --> 00:50:49,180 command module pilot Mike Collins who 1169 00:50:54,690 --> 00:50:51,520 joins me now live along with astronaut 1170 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:54,700 candidate Zeena Cartman welcome thank 1171 00:50:58,590 --> 00:50:56,770 you Karen Thank You Xena yeah I'm 1172 00:51:00,900 --> 00:50:58,600 looking forward to hearing from both of 1173 00:51:03,540 --> 00:51:00,910 you yes likewise it's good to have you 1174 00:51:05,370 --> 00:51:03,550 here now Mike uh people may not know 1175 00:51:07,620 --> 00:51:05,380 that after your NASA career you were the 1176 00:51:10,350 --> 00:51:07,630 first director of this very Smithsonian 1177 00:51:11,940 --> 00:51:10,360 Air and Space Museum taking charge while 1178 00:51:13,170 --> 00:51:11,950 the building was under construction and 1179 00:51:16,470 --> 00:51:13,180 then being here when the doors first 1180 00:51:18,810 --> 00:51:16,480 opened in 1976 it's been one of the most 1181 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:18,820 visited tourist sites in Washington ever 1182 00:51:25,500 --> 00:51:22,930 since so director Collins welcome back 1183 00:51:28,470 --> 00:51:25,510 thank you it's so nice to be back 1184 00:51:33,720 --> 00:51:28,480 the Smithsonian's always and one of my 1185 00:51:36,990 --> 00:51:33,730 most favorite buildings anywhere in the 1186 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:37,000 world and I used to go to the Museum of 1187 00:51:42,300 --> 00:51:39,610 Natural History and when I was perhaps 1188 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:42,310 10 years old I would watch snails 1189 00:51:49,110 --> 00:51:45,490 now they had these were not live snails 1190 00:51:52,350 --> 00:51:49,120 they were snail shells but they had like 1191 00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:52,360 37 of them all in a row and I used to 1192 00:51:56,910 --> 00:51:55,090 for some reason I was totally fascinated 1193 00:51:59,400 --> 00:51:56,920 by that display I used to count them and 1194 00:52:01,860 --> 00:51:59,410 figure out why they were big and little 1195 00:52:04,590 --> 00:52:01,870 and what colors they were and all of 1196 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:04,600 those things so that's my upbringing is 1197 00:52:08,970 --> 00:52:06,490 Smithsonian and 1198 00:52:12,690 --> 00:52:08,980 Aaron's face of course came much later 1199 00:52:15,420 --> 00:52:12,700 and I had a lot of help with people like 1200 00:52:17,780 --> 00:52:15,430 Barry Goldwater who was a senator on the 1201 00:52:20,670 --> 00:52:17,790 right committees who helped me get money 1202 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:20,680 you get the forty million dollars a mass 1203 00:52:24,810 --> 00:52:23,170 that we needed to dig the hole and bring 1204 00:52:26,910 --> 00:52:24,820 the building up it was an interesting 1205 00:52:29,849 --> 00:52:26,920 time well it's a wonderful place to be 1206 00:52:32,450 --> 00:52:29,859 now let's take us back in time a little 1207 00:52:35,460 --> 00:52:32,460 bit you were up 1208 00:52:38,790 --> 00:52:35,470 orbiting the moon during that Apollo 11 1209 00:52:41,099 --> 00:52:38,800 you went around some 30 times alone over 1210 00:52:42,300 --> 00:52:41,109 about 24 hours take us there tell us 1211 00:52:44,730 --> 00:52:42,310 what you were feeling and what that was 1212 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:44,740 like you know I was amazed I was always 1213 00:52:48,210 --> 00:52:46,210 asked weren't you the loneliest person 1214 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:48,220 and the whole lonely universe when you 1215 00:52:51,750 --> 00:52:50,170 were in that lonely command Mazal all by 1216 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:51,760 your lonely self flowing around the 1217 00:53:00,750 --> 00:52:56,650 lonely mode weren't you lonely no no I 1218 00:53:03,690 --> 00:53:00,760 was at home this was my my little place 1219 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:03,700 that Columbia the command module was I 1220 00:53:10,650 --> 00:53:07,930 had hot coffee I had music if I want her 1221 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:10,660 dad if I had some problem or question I 1222 00:53:15,210 --> 00:53:13,690 just got on them on the radio with 1223 00:53:17,940 --> 00:53:15,220 Mission Control and they were always 1224 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:17,950 very helpful they even tried to talk to 1225 00:53:24,450 --> 00:53:21,210 me when I was by myself behind the moon 1226 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:24,460 haha couldn't get to me in that 1227 00:53:29,580 --> 00:53:28,210 situation so down on the ground was Neil 1228 00:53:31,470 --> 00:53:29,590 Armstrong who obviously is a 1229 00:53:33,240 --> 00:53:31,480 larger-than-life historic figure 1230 00:53:38,900 --> 00:53:33,250 tell us what you'd like people to 1231 00:53:47,730 --> 00:53:44,760 about the crew mate oh really 1232 00:53:51,599 --> 00:53:47,740 no personal Neil he was he was an 1233 00:53:55,620 --> 00:53:51,609 all-american person in in many ways Neil 1234 00:54:00,270 --> 00:53:55,630 was very intelligent he he had interests 1235 00:54:03,900 --> 00:54:00,280 in science on both sides of the kind of 1236 00:54:06,780 --> 00:54:03,910 work that NASA does he he was he was 1237 00:54:09,660 --> 00:54:06,790 modest he didn't like the spotlight on 1238 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:09,670 him but when he was caught in its glare 1239 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:13,570 he knew exactly what to say after the 1240 00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:15,210 flight of Apollo 11 1241 00:54:20,710 --> 00:54:18,450 we were very fortunate to have an 1242 00:54:25,220 --> 00:54:20,720 around-the-world trip that meal was our 1243 00:54:27,410 --> 00:54:25,230 spokesperson and he just did a masterful 1244 00:54:30,170 --> 00:54:27,420 job he had done his homework everywhere 1245 00:54:32,270 --> 00:54:30,180 we went he he knew the background of the 1246 00:54:34,609 --> 00:54:32,280 country he knew what to say to the local 1247 00:54:39,109 --> 00:54:34,619 people by the time he finished one of 1248 00:54:40,970 --> 00:54:39,119 his short five ten minute speeches half 1249 00:54:43,820 --> 00:54:40,980 of the audience was ready to climb on 1250 00:54:50,450 --> 00:54:43,830 board Columbia and go with us he was 1251 00:54:52,010 --> 00:54:50,460 just masterful and all right we are we 1252 00:54:54,589 --> 00:54:52,020 have two people hoping to ask questions 1253 00:54:57,620 --> 00:54:54,599 to Xena and to Michael Colin social 1254 00:54:59,030 --> 00:54:57,630 media though I just realized we may not 1255 00:55:02,300 --> 00:54:59,040 have the access to the social media 1256 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:02,310 questions so I am instead going to turn 1257 00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:04,410 to a question to Xena who I wouldn't ask 1258 00:55:09,500 --> 00:55:06,210 a question of as well obviously Michael 1259 00:55:11,390 --> 00:55:09,510 when you qualified an astronaut you were 1260 00:55:13,849 --> 00:55:11,400 a pilot and Xena have took a very 1261 00:55:15,500 --> 00:55:13,859 different path into this so tell us a 1262 00:55:17,660 --> 00:55:15,510 little bit about your path here my 1263 00:55:20,570 --> 00:55:17,670 background is actually in microbiology I 1264 00:55:22,820 --> 00:55:20,580 studied biology in college my thesis was 1265 00:55:25,250 --> 00:55:22,830 in poetry believe it or not and then I 1266 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:25,260 did research in marine microbiology for 1267 00:55:30,230 --> 00:55:27,930 my master's degree but to me one of the 1268 00:55:33,050 --> 00:55:30,240 most exciting parts of being in the 1269 00:55:35,390 --> 00:55:33,060 space program now is just how different 1270 00:55:37,970 --> 00:55:35,400 a background everyone's come from we are 1271 00:55:40,490 --> 00:55:37,980 test pilots we're also microbiologists 1272 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:40,500 we are geologists we're submarine errs 1273 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:42,930 it's a really interesting and diverse 1274 00:55:47,359 --> 00:55:46,050 group to get to work with and so we are 1275 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:47,369 still taking social media questions 1276 00:55:50,030 --> 00:55:48,450 we're sorry we can't answer them right 1277 00:55:52,099 --> 00:55:50,040 here and now but certainly will continue 1278 00:55:52,970 --> 00:55:52,109 to take them throughout throughout the 1279 00:55:54,980 --> 00:55:52,980 show 1280 00:55:57,079 --> 00:55:54,990 Xena give us your perspective on Apollo 1281 00:55:58,190 --> 00:55:57,089 11 what what is the legacy Impala van 1282 00:55:59,980 --> 00:55:58,200 action I'll toss that to both of you 1283 00:56:03,260 --> 00:55:59,990 tell us about your perspective on the 1284 00:56:05,060 --> 00:56:03,270 legacy of Apollo 11 sure it's it's a 1285 00:56:07,490 --> 00:56:05,070 part of the world that I grew up and I 1286 00:56:10,700 --> 00:56:07,500 you know I I never knew a world before 1287 00:56:12,230 --> 00:56:10,710 men had left this planet and so I have 1288 00:56:14,270 --> 00:56:12,240 to ask the people who lived through that 1289 00:56:16,670 --> 00:56:14,280 themselves what that means to them and 1290 00:56:18,260 --> 00:56:16,680 they can tell me where they were when 1291 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:18,270 they saw that happen they can tell me 1292 00:56:22,790 --> 00:56:20,130 the exact chair they were sitting in it 1293 00:56:25,609 --> 00:56:22,800 was just this monumental pivotal moment 1294 00:56:29,100 --> 00:56:25,619 in human history and so to me that's 1295 00:56:30,660 --> 00:56:29,110 just it's so touching to know that 1296 00:56:33,540 --> 00:56:30,670 part of the world that I'm in now and 1297 00:56:35,730 --> 00:56:33,550 it's this hugely inspiring challenge to 1298 00:56:37,590 --> 00:56:35,740 my generation what would be our Apollo 1299 00:56:41,090 --> 00:56:37,600 what will be this thing that people 1300 00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:41,100 around the world will feel a part of a 1301 00:56:49,170 --> 00:56:45,970 little bit about the legacy I I'm not 1302 00:56:51,450 --> 00:56:49,180 big on legacies I'm not sure I think 1303 00:56:54,690 --> 00:56:51,460 maybe 50 years is not enough time to 1304 00:56:58,110 --> 00:56:54,700 give it a proper spacing for it but I 1305 00:57:02,310 --> 00:56:58,120 was really taken by something Dina said 1306 00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:02,320 with her minor is in poetry I love that 1307 00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:05,770 idea it's great I go to MIT from time to 1308 00:57:10,860 --> 00:57:07,570 time and talk to the students up there 1309 00:57:13,260 --> 00:57:10,870 and of course the great push in this 1310 00:57:16,530 --> 00:57:13,270 country today and rightfully so is 1311 00:57:18,570 --> 00:57:16,540 science technology engineering math stem 1312 00:57:22,350 --> 00:57:18,580 and I say now that's not a complete 1313 00:57:25,230 --> 00:57:22,360 education poetry in there we are going 1314 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:25,240 to now toss back to the mall to Adam 1315 00:57:29,700 --> 00:57:27,250 Savage who has a message not about 1316 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:29,710 poetry but for those people who still 1317 00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:36,730 know thanks Karen amazingly there are 1318 00:57:42,180 --> 00:57:39,130 still people who choose not to believe 1319 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:42,190 that we went to the moon even though to 1320 00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:43,810 perpetrate such a hoax would have taken 1321 00:57:49,620 --> 00:57:46,810 far more energy than actually just going 1322 00:57:52,290 --> 00:57:49,630 to the moon and on Mythbusters early in 1323 00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:52,300 our tenure my co-hosts Jamie Kari grant 1324 00:57:58,530 --> 00:57:55,210 and Tory and I busted this conspiracy 1325 00:58:00,690 --> 00:57:58,540 theory in pretty much every way we could 1326 00:58:02,670 --> 00:58:00,700 have possibly tested it we built 1327 00:58:05,010 --> 00:58:02,680 miniature models we rode the vomit comet 1328 00:58:08,820 --> 00:58:05,020 we wore spacesuits we tried everything 1329 00:58:10,980 --> 00:58:08,830 and in fact our episode is used by 1330 00:58:12,570 --> 00:58:10,990 moon-landing deniers to bolster their 1331 00:58:15,390 --> 00:58:12,580 argument they thought that our miniature 1332 00:58:18,150 --> 00:58:15,400 model of the moon scape looked so good 1333 00:58:19,740 --> 00:58:18,160 it helped convince them that the moon 1334 00:58:21,660 --> 00:58:19,750 landing might have been faked by Stanley 1335 00:58:23,850 --> 00:58:21,670 Kubrick at some secret soundstage in the 1336 00:58:25,140 --> 00:58:23,860 desert which is total Buncombe and when 1337 00:58:26,910 --> 00:58:25,150 I am confronted with that sort of 1338 00:58:30,030 --> 00:58:26,920 willful ignorance well I don't have any 1339 00:58:32,550 --> 00:58:30,040 answer but apparently Tahira has a 1340 00:58:36,450 --> 00:58:32,560 question from the crowd out on the mall 1341 00:58:37,319 --> 00:58:36,460 to hear oh hi I'm Tahira and I'm out 1342 00:58:39,870 --> 00:58:37,329 here on the 1343 00:58:42,209 --> 00:58:39,880 no mall in Washington DC it is a 1344 00:58:44,759 --> 00:58:42,219 beautiful day out here to celebrate the 1345 00:58:47,039 --> 00:58:44,769 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon 1346 00:58:49,559 --> 00:58:47,049 landing right now I'm following the 1347 00:58:51,779 --> 00:58:49,569 conversation on social media and Twitter 1348 00:58:53,609 --> 00:58:51,789 user David says it would have been 1349 00:58:55,469 --> 00:58:53,619 harder to fake it than to do it in 1350 00:58:57,870 --> 00:58:55,479 regards to the Apollo 11 moon landing 1351 00:59:01,469 --> 00:58:57,880 Adam you broke it down on Mythbusters 1352 00:59:03,479 --> 00:59:01,479 what do you think Oh without a doubt one 1353 00:59:05,849 --> 00:59:03,489 of the great pleasures of my life to 1354 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:05,859 here is that I get to talk to people at 1355 00:59:09,150 --> 00:59:07,690 NASA and meet astronauts and come to 1356 00:59:11,910 --> 00:59:09,160 places like the Smithsonian Air and 1357 00:59:14,039 --> 00:59:11,920 Space Museum the fact is is the pride 1358 00:59:16,170 --> 00:59:14,049 that all of the incredible men and women 1359 00:59:18,029 --> 00:59:16,180 and engineers and scientists who 1360 00:59:20,549 --> 00:59:18,039 executed this incredible feat and 1361 00:59:23,249 --> 00:59:20,559 continue to execute it on a daily basis 1362 00:59:25,410 --> 00:59:23,259 that pride is based in reality not in 1363 00:59:28,229 --> 00:59:25,420 fantasy and it is my honor to be able to 1364 00:59:30,690 --> 00:59:28,239 meet and talk to these folks when NASA's 1365 00:59:35,620 --> 00:59:30,700 giant leap continues it'll be with fire 1366 01:00:02,300 --> 00:59:44,900 [Music] 1367 01:00:02,310 --> 01:00:07,560 [Applause] 1368 01:00:14,110 --> 01:00:10,990 welcome back to Wapakoneta and the 1369 01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:14,120 Armstrong Air and Space Museum I'm Ty 1370 01:00:20,500 --> 01:00:17,090 Bateman an anchor with hometown stations 1371 01:00:22,990 --> 01:00:20,510 and Lima Ohio and I'm here with a team 1372 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:23,000 from the Glenn Research Center that not 1373 01:00:29,410 --> 01:00:26,090 only developed liquid hydrogen as rocket 1374 01:00:31,810 --> 01:00:29,420 fuel but also developed electric 1375 01:00:34,950 --> 01:00:31,820 propulsion and the team is also working 1376 01:00:39,670 --> 01:00:34,960 on a new generation electric propulsion 1377 01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:39,680 system that will power our gateway an 1378 01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:42,290 outpost for astronauts in lunar orbit 1379 01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:45,530 that will give access to the surface and 1380 01:00:51,430 --> 01:00:48,290 joining me now from the Glenn Research 1381 01:00:53,470 --> 01:00:51,440 Center is Mike Barrett hello Mike hi 1382 01:00:55,750 --> 01:00:53,480 and how does electric propulsion work 1383 01:00:57,700 --> 01:00:55,760 and how is it different from chemical 1384 01:01:00,340 --> 01:00:57,710 rockets well traditional chemical 1385 01:01:02,170 --> 01:01:00,350 propulsion burns a fuel and that 1386 01:01:03,850 --> 01:01:02,180 generates a high temperature gas that 1387 01:01:05,470 --> 01:01:03,860 gets pushed out of the spacecraft in one 1388 01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:05,480 direction and that propels the 1389 01:01:09,730 --> 01:01:06,970 spacecraft in the opposite direction 1390 01:01:12,670 --> 01:01:09,740 electric propulsion instead of burning a 1391 01:01:15,010 --> 01:01:12,680 fuel uses electricity to charge or 1392 01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:15,020 ionize a gas and then that excel is 1393 01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:17,330 accelerated out of the spacecraft and 1394 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:19,250 that provides that propulsive push now 1395 01:01:23,380 --> 01:01:21,650 where does the power come from well for 1396 01:01:26,140 --> 01:01:23,390 solar electric propulsion the power 1397 01:01:28,750 --> 01:01:26,150 comes from the Sun we use solar panels 1398 01:01:30,310 --> 01:01:28,760 to convert sunlight into electricity and 1399 01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:30,320 then that electricity is used to power 1400 01:01:34,210 --> 01:01:31,970 both the spacecraft and the electric 1401 01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:34,220 propulsion system so how we roll solar 1402 01:01:38,110 --> 01:01:36,770 electric propulsion helped NASA get to 1403 01:01:40,150 --> 01:01:38,120 the moon and eventually to Mars 1404 01:01:42,100 --> 01:01:40,160 well since solar electric propulsion 1405 01:01:44,410 --> 01:01:42,110 doesn't have to take all that fuel with 1406 01:01:47,260 --> 01:01:44,420 it and it uses the sunlight for energy 1407 01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:47,270 then that spacecraft instead of having 1408 01:01:50,770 --> 01:01:48,770 to take all that fuel can take things 1409 01:01:52,930 --> 01:01:50,780 like oxygen water communications 1410 01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:52,940 equipment science experiments anything 1411 01:01:56,530 --> 01:01:54,530 else the astronauts need to complete the 1412 01:01:58,720 --> 01:01:56,540 mission that makes the build and design 1413 01:01:59,920 --> 01:01:58,730 of that spacecraft a lot easier and the 1414 01:02:01,510 --> 01:01:59,930 efficiency of the electric propulsion 1415 01:02:03,790 --> 01:02:01,520 helps us make the mission more 1416 01:02:06,490 --> 01:02:03,800 achievable Mike very exciting thank you 1417 01:02:09,540 --> 01:02:06,500 so much thank you and NASA's giant leaps 1418 01:02:12,370 --> 01:02:09,550 continue down at Space Center Houston 1419 01:02:14,710 --> 01:02:12,380 but first as you see from our show today 1420 01:02:17,140 --> 01:02:14,720 NASA really is everywhere with 1421 01:02:18,430 --> 01:02:17,150 technological and economic impacts all 1422 01:02:20,829 --> 01:02:18,440 across the country 1423 01:02:23,410 --> 01:02:20,839 innovation for exploration has an 1424 01:02:35,830 --> 01:02:23,420 impact on our daily lives just as it did 1425 01:02:53,390 --> 01:02:43,450 [Music] 1426 01:02:54,660 --> 01:02:53,400 all engine running liftoff we have a 1427 01:03:02,310 --> 01:02:54,670 liftoff 1428 01:03:18,940 --> 01:03:05,990 Nathan extraordinary television 1429 01:03:23,740 --> 01:03:20,890 this nation should commit itself to 1430 01:03:27,180 --> 01:03:23,750 achieving the goal of 1431 01:03:52,890 --> 01:03:27,190 returning him safely to the earth 1432 01:04:11,120 --> 01:03:59,630 [Music] 1433 01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:11,130 I think landing on the moon changed the 1434 01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:16,050 sky from a barrier into a doorway it 1435 01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:18,450 turned the sort of this the backdrop of 1436 01:04:24,890 --> 01:04:22,410 all of human history the sky into an 1437 01:04:27,380 --> 01:04:24,900 invitation I would give anything to 1438 01:04:32,090 --> 01:04:27,390 remember that moment my mom rhombuses I 1439 01:04:33,140 --> 01:04:32,100 saw it but I don't remember a thing it 1440 01:04:34,370 --> 01:04:33,150 might be one of the reasons where I'm a 1441 01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:34,380 little obsessed with the moon landing I 1442 01:04:37,850 --> 01:04:36,330 have have the special New York Times 1443 01:04:39,950 --> 01:04:37,860 edition when they were on their way to 1444 01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:39,960 the moon July 17th 1445 01:04:45,260 --> 01:04:42,930 the models of the moon that's where are 1446 01:04:48,530 --> 01:04:45,270 we that's that there it is 1447 01:04:52,970 --> 01:04:48,540 that's Sea of Tranquility that's that's 1448 01:04:55,070 --> 01:04:52,980 where they landed right there can I 1449 01:04:58,010 --> 01:04:55,080 bring my family with me yes yes I would 1450 01:04:59,540 --> 01:04:58,020 go to Mars they got water there and 1451 01:05:09,120 --> 01:04:59,550 everything and methane what more do you 1452 01:05:13,410 --> 01:05:11,550 hi we're at Johnson Space Center's 1453 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:13,420 official visitor center joined by 1454 01:05:17,850 --> 01:05:15,250 president & CEO Space Center Houston 1455 01:05:19,770 --> 01:05:17,860 William Harris thanks Brandi welcome to 1456 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:19,780 Space Center Houston we're a dynamic 1457 01:05:23,580 --> 01:05:21,250 learning destination where we share what 1458 01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:23,590 NASA is doing every day where we spire 1459 01:05:28,220 --> 01:05:25,330 people of all ages through the wonders 1460 01:05:32,070 --> 01:05:30,510 thanks William for hosting this segment 1461 01:05:34,970 --> 01:05:32,080 for us and we are joined here today by 1462 01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:34,980 Apollo 7 astronaut walk Cunningham 1463 01:05:41,940 --> 01:05:39,010 Walter was on the first manned command 1464 01:05:43,890 --> 01:05:41,950 the man's mission of Apollo and I gave 1465 01:05:45,540 --> 01:05:43,900 us the first live views of astronauts 1466 01:05:47,370 --> 01:05:45,550 from space as well as performing some 1467 01:05:50,100 --> 01:05:47,380 critical checkouts of the command module 1468 01:05:51,810 --> 01:05:50,110 thanks for joining us Walt it was really 1469 01:05:55,100 --> 01:05:51,820 a pleasure to be with you people here 1470 01:05:58,350 --> 01:05:55,110 after all of these years we appreciate 1471 01:06:03,000 --> 01:05:58,360 it was like living and working on that 1472 01:06:05,490 --> 01:06:03,010 command module for 11 days well in 1473 01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:05,500 retrospect that that 11 days was 1474 01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:10,210 probably the best 11 days of my life we 1475 01:06:16,380 --> 01:06:12,490 had worked actually I had worked five 1476 01:06:18,180 --> 01:06:16,390 years to get after that there was three 1477 01:06:20,970 --> 01:06:18,190 different scheduled flights and 1478 01:06:23,490 --> 01:06:20,980 overcoming various obstacles and to this 1479 01:06:25,530 --> 01:06:23,500 day that's still a longest most 1480 01:06:29,580 --> 01:06:25,540 ambitious most successful first test 1481 01:06:32,910 --> 01:06:29,590 flight of any new flying machine ever so 1482 01:06:35,340 --> 01:06:32,920 I I feel very fortunate to have been 1483 01:06:37,650 --> 01:06:35,350 there we're fortunate to have you here 1484 01:06:39,330 --> 01:06:37,660 with us having had the longest most 1485 01:06:42,180 --> 01:06:39,340 successful flight test of a new 1486 01:06:43,650 --> 01:06:42,190 spacecraft do you have any advice for 1487 01:06:45,990 --> 01:06:43,660 the astronauts are going to be going up 1488 01:06:48,660 --> 01:06:46,000 on those first missions for Orion and 1489 01:06:51,510 --> 01:06:48,670 Artemis well I probably would have some 1490 01:06:56,060 --> 01:06:51,520 advice but I I don't believe that the 1491 01:06:58,620 --> 01:06:56,070 astronauts have as much authority in 1492 01:07:01,800 --> 01:06:58,630 preparing for these things today as we 1493 01:07:04,770 --> 01:07:01,810 did 50 years ago that means a lot of a 1494 01:07:07,950 --> 01:07:04,780 lot of things have been perfected at the 1495 01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:07,960 same time the Society has changed and 1496 01:07:14,290 --> 01:07:10,690 the astronauts are not driving 1497 01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:14,300 everything like we used to get away with 1498 01:07:17,410 --> 01:07:15,530 as you can see there's a lot of 1499 01:07:18,910 --> 01:07:17,420 excitement here about the about the 1500 01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:18,920 follow anniversary that's what you're 1501 01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:21,050 hearing in the background but also here 1502 01:07:24,820 --> 01:07:23,210 with Walt and I we have Laura Curie who 1503 01:07:26,290 --> 01:07:24,830 is one of the people in charge of some 1504 01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:26,300 of the new technology we're developing 1505 01:07:31,630 --> 01:07:29,450 to send people to the moon Laura is the 1506 01:07:33,660 --> 01:07:31,640 deputy program manager of gateway so 1507 01:07:35,950 --> 01:07:33,670 that is what a key part of getting 1508 01:07:37,750 --> 01:07:35,960 astronauts to the moon will be in lunar 1509 01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:37,760 orbit so tell us a little bit about what 1510 01:07:43,540 --> 01:07:40,850 that is Laura sure the Gateway is gonna 1511 01:07:46,390 --> 01:07:43,550 be an orbiting platform basically the 1512 01:07:48,580 --> 01:07:46,400 circles the moon it will provide 1513 01:07:51,430 --> 01:07:48,590 basically an aggregation point where 1514 01:07:53,470 --> 01:07:51,440 lunar landers can go from the earth to 1515 01:07:55,810 --> 01:07:53,480 the Gateway and they can aggregate there 1516 01:07:57,910 --> 01:07:55,820 and will be able to fly missions to and 1517 01:07:59,560 --> 01:07:57,920 from the moon the great thing about the 1518 01:08:02,260 --> 01:07:59,570 gateway is it's going to give us access 1519 01:08:03,100 --> 01:08:02,270 to the entire surface of the Moon how 1520 01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:03,110 will it be different from the 1521 01:08:07,330 --> 01:08:05,450 International Space Station it will be 1522 01:08:08,830 --> 01:08:07,340 different in a few ways for one thing 1523 01:08:10,990 --> 01:08:08,840 it's going to be much smaller than the 1524 01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:11,000 International Space Station the space 1525 01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:13,490 station is it's basically the size of a 1526 01:08:17,530 --> 01:08:15,770 football field roughly the gateways 1527 01:08:21,039 --> 01:08:17,540 going to be much smaller maybe a tenth 1528 01:08:23,550 --> 01:08:21,049 of the size so just a fraction we also 1529 01:08:27,789 --> 01:08:23,560 where the space station is inhabited 1530 01:08:30,070 --> 01:08:27,799 24/7 365 the gateway will only have 1531 01:08:32,470 --> 01:08:30,080 people on it when Orion is visiting so 1532 01:08:34,349 --> 01:08:32,480 one to start out it'll be about once a 1533 01:08:36,940 --> 01:08:34,359 year maybe 30 days at a time 1534 01:08:39,190 --> 01:08:36,950 so our spacecraft is gonna have to be a 1535 01:08:40,480 --> 01:08:39,200 lot more autonomous than today's space 1536 01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:40,490 station and then of course the obvious 1537 01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:42,890 we're gonna be much farther away and 1538 01:08:46,180 --> 01:08:44,690 this is a pretty new program for us so 1539 01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:46,190 where are we in the development of 1540 01:08:50,829 --> 01:08:48,410 Gateway you know we are really making a 1541 01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:50,839 lot of progress really fast the first 1542 01:08:55,480 --> 01:08:52,370 elements that make up what we're calling 1543 01:08:58,269 --> 01:08:55,490 phase one of the Gateway should all be 1544 01:09:00,820 --> 01:08:58,279 in place in order for us to make and 1545 01:09:03,130 --> 01:09:00,830 support that 2024 boots on the moon 1546 01:09:05,620 --> 01:09:03,140 mandate that we have so our first 1547 01:09:09,190 --> 01:09:05,630 element is the parent propulsion module 1548 01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:09,200 and it should launch in 2022 we just 1549 01:09:12,789 --> 01:09:11,330 announced the contractor that's going to 1550 01:09:15,130 --> 01:09:12,799 help us to build that module max our 1551 01:09:17,440 --> 01:09:15,140 technologies so they are well on their 1552 01:09:19,510 --> 01:09:17,450 way the second module that we put up 1553 01:09:20,769 --> 01:09:19,520 will be a habitation module it will dock 1554 01:09:24,309 --> 01:09:20,779 with that power 1555 01:09:26,740 --> 01:09:24,319 an element and we are very very close to 1556 01:09:28,660 --> 01:09:26,750 getting that modulo in contract and on 1557 01:09:30,970 --> 01:09:28,670 its way here in probably the next month 1558 01:09:33,430 --> 01:09:30,980 or two and then the third element that 1559 01:09:35,829 --> 01:09:33,440 will be part of that first 2024 phase 1560 01:09:38,109 --> 01:09:35,839 one is our logistics module and we ought 1561 01:09:40,329 --> 01:09:38,119 to have it on contract by the end of 1562 01:09:42,430 --> 01:09:40,339 this calendar year so a lot of progress 1563 01:09:45,279 --> 01:09:42,440 is happening really fast yeah lots of 1564 01:09:47,260 --> 01:09:45,289 balls moving now well is there anything 1565 01:09:50,379 --> 01:09:47,270 that you know hearing about gateway you 1566 01:09:52,839 --> 01:09:50,389 wish you had on Apollo 7 or that having 1567 01:09:54,069 --> 01:09:52,849 had 11 days in space on Apollo 7 that 1568 01:09:57,640 --> 01:09:54,079 you would recommend having on the 1569 01:10:02,859 --> 01:09:57,650 Gateway personally I find it very 1570 01:10:06,970 --> 01:10:02,869 difficult to compare things today and 1571 01:10:09,490 --> 01:10:06,980 what they were then 50 years ago it's 1572 01:10:12,939 --> 01:10:09,500 because the organization's become more 1573 01:10:16,209 --> 01:10:12,949 organized many of the problems we have 1574 01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:16,219 been I won't say solved but are like 98 1575 01:10:23,819 --> 01:10:20,570 99 percent compared to 50 percent but I 1576 01:10:26,350 --> 01:10:23,829 do see a difference in attitude in 1577 01:10:30,310 --> 01:10:26,360 exploring space today for what it was 1578 01:10:33,299 --> 01:10:30,320 back 50 years ago when everybody was a 1579 01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:33,309 fighter pilot test pilot and we saw 1580 01:10:39,669 --> 01:10:35,690 basically as an opportunity to stick our 1581 01:10:42,069 --> 01:10:39,679 necks out a little to do it and what's 1582 01:10:45,819 --> 01:10:42,079 amazing for me when I look at that is 1583 01:10:48,399 --> 01:10:45,829 here we are 50 years later and I never 1584 01:10:54,819 --> 01:10:48,409 in my life could have projected this 1585 01:10:58,029 --> 01:10:54,829 amount of interest and association was 1586 01:11:02,310 --> 01:10:58,039 what we were doing back then and also at 1587 01:11:06,189 --> 01:11:02,320 the same time since it's a civilian 1588 01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:06,199 operation wasn't military if we had all 1589 01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:08,690 military trained fighter pilots but 1590 01:11:13,299 --> 01:11:11,210 what's going to happen is a hundred 1591 01:11:15,390 --> 01:11:13,309 years from now two hundred five hundred 1592 01:11:18,430 --> 01:11:15,400 years from now there's only going to be 1593 01:11:20,529 --> 01:11:18,440 probably one thing they remember about 1594 01:11:24,700 --> 01:11:20,539 the 20th century and that's a man went 1595 01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:24,710 to the moon and Neil Armstrong he's 1596 01:11:30,030 --> 01:11:27,730 going to be going down in history 1597 01:11:32,130 --> 01:11:30,040 we also appreciate your role in helping 1598 01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:32,140 us get to where we are today and we're 1599 01:11:37,710 --> 01:11:34,170 thankful that you're celebrating with us 1600 01:11:39,870 --> 01:11:37,720 well I I feel very fortunate I feel more 1601 01:11:42,810 --> 01:11:39,880 fortunate today because what I was 1602 01:11:44,430 --> 01:11:42,820 taking for granted back on Apollo 7 1603 01:11:47,370 --> 01:11:44,440 which to this day is still the longest 1604 01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:47,380 most ambitious most successful first 1605 01:11:53,490 --> 01:11:50,650 Test flight back in those days it was a 1606 01:11:55,050 --> 01:11:53,500 challenging job to do we were committed 1607 01:11:58,140 --> 01:11:55,060 to it we've got to do whatever was 1608 01:12:01,260 --> 01:11:58,150 necessary to make that a success and now 1609 01:12:03,350 --> 01:12:01,270 50 years later I look at it in 1610 01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:03,360 perspective with our overall 1611 01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:07,210 accomplishment Apollo and frankly I am 1612 01:12:13,620 --> 01:12:10,930 proud to played one small step in that 1613 01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:13,630 with Apollo 7 thank you so much we are 1614 01:12:16,950 --> 01:12:15,250 looking forward to also having some big 1615 01:12:19,500 --> 01:12:16,960 milestones to celebrate in the upcoming 1616 01:12:21,930 --> 01:12:19,510 years the good part of that and getting 1617 01:12:23,340 --> 01:12:21,940 people back onto the moon is going to be 1618 01:12:24,510 --> 01:12:23,350 gateway it's gonna be cutting edge 1619 01:12:27,450 --> 01:12:24,520 technology and that's saying something 1620 01:12:32,580 --> 01:12:27,460 since we had cutting edge technology 50 1621 01:12:34,860 --> 01:12:32,590 years ago you probably know that the 1622 01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:34,870 spacecraft to get us to the moon was 1623 01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:36,850 incredibly complicated but you realized 1624 01:12:41,490 --> 01:12:38,890 that there were six point 1 million 1625 01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:41,500 parts in the saturn v launch vehicle in 1626 01:12:44,790 --> 01:12:43,210 the apollo spacecraft that had to be 1627 01:12:46,980 --> 01:12:44,800 assembled and it all had to work 1628 01:12:53,290 --> 01:12:46,990 correctly for us to get to the moon in 1629 01:12:58,150 --> 01:12:56,140 and welcome back to the Saturn 5 Center 1630 01:13:00,940 --> 01:12:58,160 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida a 1631 01:13:02,980 --> 01:13:00,950 look at the lunar module it was supposed 1632 01:13:04,510 --> 01:13:02,990 to be for Apollo 15 but actually never 1633 01:13:07,450 --> 01:13:04,520 flew once they decided they were gonna 1634 01:13:08,890 --> 01:13:07,460 take moon Rovers up to the moon but they 1635 01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:08,900 say it works and it could have gone to 1636 01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:09,410 the moon 1637 01:13:13,810 --> 01:13:12,170 yeah and it's it's it's one thing to see 1638 01:13:15,970 --> 01:13:13,820 it you know the pictures of it are 1639 01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:15,980 magnificent on camera but when you're up 1640 01:13:19,420 --> 01:13:17,570 close and personal right next to it you 1641 01:13:21,340 --> 01:13:19,430 really see you know all those little 1642 01:13:22,870 --> 01:13:21,350 details and it's just amazing that we 1643 01:13:24,610 --> 01:13:22,880 what we were able to accomplish together 1644 01:13:26,860 --> 01:13:24,620 as a nation you're absolutely right and 1645 01:13:28,060 --> 01:13:26,870 back here at the Kennedy Space Center if 1646 01:13:30,340 --> 01:13:28,070 you're just joining us we are of course 1647 01:13:32,530 --> 01:13:30,350 celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of 1648 01:13:34,990 --> 01:13:32,540 Apollo and looking forward to our plans 1649 01:13:37,030 --> 01:13:35,000 for the next giant leap to the moon and 1650 01:13:38,830 --> 01:13:37,040 on to Mars and a reminder that we're 1651 01:13:41,350 --> 01:13:38,840 taking your questions online using the 1652 01:13:42,910 --> 01:13:41,360 hashtag Apollo 50th and that will have a 1653 01:13:45,100 --> 01:13:42,920 fun reveal coming up a little later 1654 01:13:47,260 --> 01:13:45,110 about our Artemis program at the end of 1655 01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:47,270 the show a fun reveal yeah you tell me 1656 01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:49,010 now well know then it wouldn't be a 1657 01:13:53,140 --> 01:13:51,170 reveal show you got away all right I'm 1658 01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:53,150 gonna wait well if you want to follow us 1659 01:13:58,480 --> 01:13:55,010 you can just

01:14:12,970 --> 01:14:09,620 subscribe again at nasa.gov forward 1666 01:14:14,770 --> 01:14:12,980 slash subscribe now keep in mind we 1667 01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:14,780 didn't just develop technology in the 1668 01:14:18,430 --> 01:14:16,370 Apollo years you're looking at the 1669 01:14:21,190 --> 01:14:18,440 gantry right now at launch complex 39 1670 01:14:23,350 --> 01:14:21,200 where folks like to gather to watch the 1671 01:14:25,870 --> 01:14:23,360 launches from pad a and be there and 1672 01:14:27,910 --> 01:14:25,880 we've got a special live guest out there 1673 01:14:29,860 --> 01:14:27,920 one of the last two people to walk on 1674 01:14:31,780 --> 01:14:29,870 the moon and we've got someone out there 1675 01:14:33,190 --> 01:14:31,790 to talk to him Amanda Griffin Amanda I 1676 01:14:35,260 --> 01:14:33,200 don't know if your if you're out there 1677 01:14:37,750 --> 01:14:35,270 I'm not sure which level are you on out 1678 01:14:39,430 --> 01:14:37,760 there at the tippy-top it's a beautiful 1679 01:14:41,380 --> 01:14:39,440 day but it is breezy up here so 1680 01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:41,390 hopefully you can get us loud and clear 1681 01:14:46,480 --> 01:14:45,050 here so behind us is pad 39a currently 1682 01:14:48,340 --> 01:14:46,490 it is being used for missions to the 1683 01:14:50,770 --> 01:14:48,350 space station and beyond by commercial 1684 01:14:52,390 --> 01:14:50,780 entities but 50 years ago the first men 1685 01:14:55,090 --> 01:14:52,400 to walk on the moon launched from there 1686 01:14:56,500 --> 01:14:55,100 just a few years later Apollo 17 1687 01:14:58,540 --> 01:14:56,510 launched the last man who walked on the 1688 01:15:00,580 --> 01:14:58,550 moon and one of them was dr. Harrison 1689 01:15:01,570 --> 01:15:00,590 Schmitt dr. Smith thanks so much for 1690 01:15:03,220 --> 01:15:01,580 being with us today 1691 01:15:05,010 --> 01:15:03,230 it's great to be with you I sort of miss 1692 01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:05,020 seen a Saturn 5 out there 1693 01:15:09,750 --> 01:15:06,610 no but hopefully soon you'll see and 1694 01:15:11,700 --> 01:15:09,760 that's the last thing Kennedy Space 1695 01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:11,710 Center's doing a remarkable job getting 1696 01:15:16,830 --> 01:15:14,290 ready for that we're excited so can you 1697 01:15:19,230 --> 01:15:16,840 tell us you were NASA's first astronaut 1698 01:15:20,820 --> 01:15:19,240 scientist why was it so important that 1699 01:15:24,030 --> 01:15:20,830 you were on that mission on Apollo 17 1700 01:15:26,370 --> 01:15:24,040 well by the time Neil Armstrong had 1701 01:15:30,330 --> 01:15:26,380 completed his activities along with Buzz 1702 01:15:32,550 --> 01:15:30,340 and Mike Holland it became clear that we 1703 01:15:34,170 --> 01:15:32,560 had the capability to explore in fact it 1704 01:15:37,050 --> 01:15:34,180 was clear even before that if we were 1705 01:15:39,270 --> 01:15:37,060 successful in Apollo 11 we would be able 1706 01:15:41,730 --> 01:15:39,280 to explore and so the last missions and 1707 01:15:44,550 --> 01:15:41,740 particularly my mission were designed to 1708 01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:44,560 be exploration missions and so we all 1709 01:15:48,450 --> 01:15:46,570 know that on Apollo 11 they collected 1710 01:15:50,730 --> 01:15:48,460 maybe 40 pounds of moon rocks but I 1711 01:15:52,650 --> 01:15:50,740 understand you kind of beat them how 1712 01:15:55,530 --> 01:15:52,660 much did you like well we did set the 1713 01:15:59,240 --> 01:15:55,540 record at 240 pounds but the total of 1714 01:16:01,830 --> 01:15:59,250 six landings brought back 850 pounds of 1715 01:16:03,270 --> 01:16:01,840 lunar rocks and those rocks are really 1716 01:16:05,310 --> 01:16:03,280 the Apollo mission that continues 1717 01:16:07,590 --> 01:16:05,320 because the lunar scientists and 1718 01:16:08,790 --> 01:16:07,600 planetary scientists continue to work on 1719 01:16:10,590 --> 01:16:08,800 those and almost certainly will 1720 01:16:12,570 --> 01:16:10,600 indefinitely yeah and I understand that 1721 01:16:14,730 --> 01:16:12,580 earlier this month you and an astronaut 1722 01:16:17,580 --> 01:16:14,740 candidate what was her name Jessica 1723 01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:17,590 Watkins I had a great time in the rock 1724 01:16:24,180 --> 01:16:21,010 lab Johnson Space Center the old man 1725 01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:24,190 spacecraft Center and we were narrating 1726 01:16:30,150 --> 01:16:26,650 a great deal of activity there about the 1727 01:16:34,830 --> 01:16:30,160 samples for NASA yeah let's take a look 1728 01:16:36,930 --> 01:16:34,840 real quick so all of these these samples 1729 01:16:38,790 --> 01:16:36,940 are very different and of course the we 1730 01:16:43,260 --> 01:16:38,800 just talked about the sampling strategy 1731 01:16:45,090 --> 01:16:43,270 from Neil Armstrong on Paul 11 but by 17 1732 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:45,100 the sampling strategy was a little bit 1733 01:16:48,580 --> 01:16:47,410 different can you talk about kind of 1734 01:16:50,830 --> 01:16:48,590 what the 1735 01:16:52,899 --> 01:16:50,840 what went into your sampling strategy 1736 01:16:55,540 --> 01:16:52,909 and how you chose which samples to bring 1737 01:16:57,850 --> 01:16:55,550 back well the whole background for 1738 01:17:00,520 --> 01:16:57,860 Apollo 17 was to since we knew it was 1739 01:17:02,589 --> 01:17:00,530 going to be the final Apollo mission was 1740 01:17:04,990 --> 01:17:02,599 to fill in as many of the gaps as we 1741 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:05,000 could both in the sample collection and 1742 01:17:10,670 --> 01:17:08,010 in the kinds of features 1743 01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:10,680 and that turned out pretty well yes so 1744 01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:12,090 there are all sorts of stories that come 1745 01:17:19,989 --> 01:17:15,210 out of these rocks about the evolution 1746 01:17:23,109 --> 01:17:19,999 of particular materials particular rocks 1747 01:17:25,149 --> 01:17:23,119 just so they have what I consider one of 1748 01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:25,159 the one other they're not the most 1749 01:17:30,129 --> 01:17:28,130 important sample Armstrong collected 1750 01:17:31,870 --> 01:17:30,139 when he thought the rock voxel in theory 1751 01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:31,880 and so he just filled it up with this 1752 01:17:43,270 --> 01:17:35,690 material is the numbers 1008 for all of 1753 01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:43,280 us nerds what gave us was our first real 1754 01:17:48,430 --> 01:17:46,130 definitive look at what the resources at 1755 01:17:50,950 --> 01:17:48,440 the surface of the Moon might be for 1756 01:17:53,229 --> 01:17:50,960 either owner basis or their settlements 1757 01:17:55,569 --> 01:17:53,239 bars exploration that's going to need 1758 01:17:58,029 --> 01:17:55,579 resources radiation protection these 1759 01:18:00,759 --> 01:17:58,039 water and you can heat this material up 1760 01:18:02,319 --> 01:18:00,769 and make water anywhere on the moon you 1761 01:18:04,569 --> 01:18:02,329 don't have to call the polos make water 1762 01:18:09,970 --> 01:18:04,579 from ice you can make it you have heated 1763 01:18:16,630 --> 01:18:14,080 sample came still giving it is they all 1764 01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:16,640 are it's as if the Apollo program never 1765 01:18:21,820 --> 01:18:19,610 ended right because there are hundreds 1766 01:18:23,530 --> 01:18:21,830 have been thousands now people who have 1767 01:18:26,020 --> 01:18:23,540 worked on the samples and still work on 1768 01:18:28,300 --> 01:18:26,030 the samples the advance of analytical 1769 01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:28,310 technology means that you can go back to 1770 01:18:36,669 --> 01:18:34,130 an old sample and get the right dr. 1771 01:18:37,870 --> 01:18:36,679 Schmidt I love that the samples that we 1772 01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:37,880 took fifty years ago are still 1773 01:18:42,669 --> 01:18:40,370 benefiting us today and in our future 1774 01:18:44,650 --> 01:18:42,679 endeavors thank you so much for all that 1775 01:18:46,180 --> 01:18:44,660 you've done for NASA and for the world 1776 01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:46,190 and thanks for joining us here today 1777 01:18:50,050 --> 01:18:48,290 well it's been my privilege and thank 1778 01:18:51,550 --> 01:18:50,060 you for the opportunity to talk to you 1779 01:18:53,890 --> 01:18:51,560 absolutely we're gonna send it back 1780 01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:53,900 inside we're gonna hear more about what 1781 01:18:57,130 --> 01:18:55,489 we still have to learn from the moon 1782 01:18:59,110 --> 01:18:57,140 all right thanks to both of you it's so 1783 01:19:01,060 --> 01:18:59,120 incredible to hear about these moon 1784 01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:01,070 rocks they brought back you know fifty 1785 01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:02,810 years ago and they're still teaching us 1786 01:19:06,939 --> 01:19:04,610 things today the astronaut from Apollo 1787 01:19:08,650 --> 01:19:06,949 teaching the up-and-coming geologist I 1788 01:19:10,630 --> 01:19:08,660 mean it's what a great story that yes 1789 01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:10,640 it's really awesome and unlocking those 1790 01:19:14,500 --> 01:19:12,410 scientific mysteries is one of the main 1791 01:19:16,990 --> 01:19:14,510 reasons we explore whether it's at the 1792 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:17,000 moon or our home planet or even the 1793 01:19:20,530 --> 01:19:18,770 farthest reaches of our solar system 1794 01:19:22,270 --> 01:19:20,540 yeah Kelsey Young a scientist from our 1795 01:19:24,580 --> 01:19:22,280 Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland 1796 01:19:26,950 --> 01:19:24,590 has more on what we already know and 1797 01:19:31,510 --> 01:19:26,960 what we hope to learn about our closest 1798 01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:31,520 celestial neighbor the six Apollo lunar 1799 01:19:34,510 --> 01:19:33,170 surface missions were able to collect an 1800 01:19:36,310 --> 01:19:34,520 incredible amount of samples that are 1801 01:19:38,770 --> 01:19:36,320 continuing to yield exciting scientific 1802 01:19:40,150 --> 01:19:38,780 discoveries even today through analyzing 1803 01:19:41,709 --> 01:19:40,160 these samples and through missions like 1804 01:19:43,540 --> 01:19:41,719 the lunar reconnaissance orbiter and the 1805 01:19:45,100 --> 01:19:43,550 L cross mission we're actually able to 1806 01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:45,110 discover that there's water on the moon 1807 01:19:48,790 --> 01:19:46,850 but we haven't been able to determine 1808 01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:48,800 just how much water is there we know 1809 01:19:51,250 --> 01:19:50,330 it's there in quantities great enough 1810 01:19:52,390 --> 01:19:51,260 that we can actually start thinking 1811 01:19:53,979 --> 01:19:52,400 about what to do with it 1812 01:19:55,990 --> 01:19:53,989 through Institute resource utilization 1813 01:19:57,910 --> 01:19:56,000 we'll be able to turn this water into 1814 01:20:00,160 --> 01:19:57,920 usable products like drinking water or 1815 01:20:01,959 --> 01:20:00,170 fuel which will enable us to establish a 1816 01:20:02,590 --> 01:20:01,969 long-term sustainable presence on the 1817 01:20:04,570 --> 01:20:02,600 lunar surface 1818 01:20:06,310 --> 01:20:04,580 it's absolutely critical that future 1819 01:20:08,260 --> 01:20:06,320 human and robotic missions to the moon 1820 01:20:10,150 --> 01:20:08,270 will help quantify just how much water 1821 01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:10,160 is there as well as to just continue 1822 01:20:13,090 --> 01:20:11,570 answering they're really exciting and 1823 01:20:16,300 --> 01:20:13,100 important science questions we have left 1824 01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:18,640 education has always been a part of the 1825 01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:21,290 NASA mission stay with us on NASA TV at 1826 01:20:26,500 --> 01:20:23,690 3:00 Eastern for our next show called 1827 01:20:28,300 --> 01:20:26,510 stem forward to the moon we visited 1828 01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:28,310 students across the country taking the 1829 01:20:32,980 --> 01:20:30,770 science behind a mission to the moon and 1830 01:20:35,650 --> 01:20:32,990 breaking it down into activities you can 1831 01:20:37,900 --> 01:20:35,660 do at home stay with us for that coming 1832 01:20:39,970 --> 01:20:37,910 up at 3 and next up we want to go to 1833 01:20:41,440 --> 01:20:39,980 Danielle Rousseau she's been mingling 1834 01:20:44,110 --> 01:20:41,450 with out here in Danielle have you 1835 01:20:46,990 --> 01:20:44,120 meeting some interesting folks thanks 1836 01:20:49,150 --> 01:20:47,000 marine 11 it's personal to a lot of 1837 01:20:51,190 --> 01:20:49,160 people whether that be actually watching 1838 01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:51,200 the launch reading about it or just 1839 01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:53,210 being an overall space enthusiasts but 1840 01:20:57,820 --> 01:20:55,970 for me it's about family my grandfather 1841 01:21:00,760 --> 01:20:57,830 was the command module pilot on Apollo 1842 01:21:03,070 --> 01:21:00,770 14 and his capsule is actually here at 1843 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:03,080 Kennedy Space Center to be in the same 1844 01:21:07,870 --> 01:21:05,810 place capsule is truly inspiring and I'm 1845 01:21:09,460 --> 01:21:07,880 beyond grateful to be here but today I 1846 01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:09,470 have a very special guest 1847 01:21:12,970 --> 01:21:11,090 Keenen why don't you come in here he's 1848 01:21:15,670 --> 01:21:12,980 10 years old he's visiting Kennedy Space 1849 01:21:18,130 --> 01:21:15,680 Center so what is the longest car ride 1850 01:21:21,010 --> 01:21:18,140 you've been on honey about six hours six 1851 01:21:23,050 --> 01:21:21,020 hours Wow okay imagine being in a 1852 01:21:25,780 --> 01:21:23,060 capsule with two other people squished 1853 01:21:29,020 --> 01:21:25,790 together for nine days how does that 1854 01:21:30,430 --> 01:21:29,030 sound aah and squished over heated and 1855 01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:30,440 squished and there's probably not any 1856 01:21:35,710 --> 01:21:33,050 white button okay and what is your 1857 01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:35,720 favorite planet what is the main tip 1858 01:21:40,210 --> 01:21:38,090 nuts like cheese the moon because it 1859 01:21:41,620 --> 01:21:40,220 looks like cheese great and are you 1860 01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:41,630 enjoying your day here at Kennedy Space 1861 01:21:44,890 --> 01:21:42,890 Center yes 1862 01:21:46,750 --> 01:21:44,900 all right great well that's all I have 1863 01:21:49,390 --> 01:21:46,760 right now and we'll be circling back 1864 01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:49,400 soon all right thanks Daniel it's great 1865 01:21:53,650 --> 01:21:51,650 to see those young kids being so excited 1866 01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:53,660 about seeing how we went to the moon and 1867 01:21:57,220 --> 01:21:55,010 you know they're dreaming about being 1868 01:21:58,720 --> 01:21:57,230 the next generation to go up there and 1869 01:22:00,100 --> 01:21:58,730 there's so many of them here inside the 1870 01:22:01,420 --> 01:22:00,110 Saturn five seven you can hear them in 1871 01:22:03,220 --> 01:22:01,430 the background yeah just fill in this 1872 01:22:06,070 --> 01:22:03,230 place up which is great well now the 1873 01:22:07,750 --> 01:22:06,080 Apollo 11 command module is on tour and 1874 01:22:11,470 --> 01:22:07,760 right now it's out in Seattle that's the 1875 01:22:14,050 --> 01:22:11,480 one that was a piloted by the Apollo 11 1876 01:22:16,810 --> 01:22:14,060 astronauts and it's out with Natalie's 1877 01:22:24,119 --> 01:22:16,820 with Natalie Joseph of NASA out in 1878 01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:26,459 hi we're at the Museum of Flight in 1879 01:22:33,270 --> 01:22:30,090 Seattle the largest independently owned 1880 01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:33,280 nonprofit air museum in the world it's 1881 01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:36,010 also the temporary home to Apollo 11 1882 01:22:40,799 --> 01:22:39,010 command module Columbia the only part of 1883 01:22:44,459 --> 01:22:40,809 the spacecraft to return back to earth 1884 01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:44,469 and more than 55,000 people have already 1885 01:22:48,750 --> 01:22:46,570 been here to see it in Seattle and the 1886 01:22:51,929 --> 01:22:48,760 festivities continue as more visitors 1887 01:22:54,330 --> 01:22:51,939 roll in to celebrate the Apollo 50th 1888 01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:54,340 anniversary one thing that visitors 1889 01:22:58,919 --> 01:22:56,530 can't easily see though is an 1890 01:23:02,009 --> 01:22:58,929 interesting piece of graffiti inside 1891 01:23:04,529 --> 01:23:02,019 Columbia after splashdown command module 1892 01:23:06,929 --> 01:23:04,539 pilot Mike Collins scribbled a quick 1893 01:23:09,810 --> 01:23:06,939 tribute inside the lower equipment Bay 1894 01:23:12,569 --> 01:23:09,820 praising Columbia as the best ship to 1895 01:23:15,449 --> 01:23:12,579 come down the line now nASA has a new 1896 01:23:17,159 --> 01:23:15,459 ship coming down the line Orion a new 1897 01:23:20,369 --> 01:23:17,169 capsule that will send humans farther 1898 01:23:22,799 --> 01:23:20,379 than ever before astronaut Randy Bresnik 1899 01:23:25,679 --> 01:23:22,809 compares Orion to Apollo 1900 01:23:27,899 --> 01:23:25,689 Oh Ryan is the vehicle that's gonna take 1901 01:23:30,750 --> 01:23:27,909 and put the next man and the first woman 1902 01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:30,760 on the moon by 2024 it's the vehicle 1903 01:23:34,319 --> 01:23:32,050 that has to take us out of Earth's 1904 01:23:36,899 --> 01:23:34,329 atmosphere safely across the expanse of 1905 01:23:38,580 --> 01:23:36,909 250,000 miles to the moon put us in a 1906 01:23:40,830 --> 01:23:38,590 lunar orbit the Gateway Space Station 1907 01:23:42,089 --> 01:23:40,840 and then sit there and wait while the 1908 01:23:44,849 --> 01:23:42,099 astronauts go down to the lunar surface 1909 01:23:46,139 --> 01:23:44,859 for the first time since 1972 then the 1910 01:23:47,639 --> 01:23:46,149 mass rocks going to come back up the 1911 01:23:49,500 --> 01:23:47,649 Gateway get on a ride come back home 1912 01:23:51,089 --> 01:23:49,510 reenter verse atmosphere aligns to be 1913 01:23:53,580 --> 01:23:51,099 the ones to go get us back safely on the 1914 01:23:55,500 --> 01:23:53,590 ground now the laws of physics still 1915 01:23:58,319 --> 01:23:55,510 apply the same as they did back in the 1916 01:24:01,379 --> 01:23:58,329 1960s we had to come back from lunar 1917 01:24:02,969 --> 01:24:01,389 return velocities among 32 and dissipate 1918 01:24:04,859 --> 01:24:02,979 all that energy so that's shape of the 1919 01:24:05,310 --> 01:24:04,869 capsule you see behind us is pretty much 1920 01:24:06,779 --> 01:24:05,320 the same 1921 01:24:08,069 --> 01:24:06,789 we got a heat shield underneath that 1922 01:24:10,319 --> 01:24:08,079 allows us to get a readout of the 1923 01:24:13,739 --> 01:24:10,329 atmosphere the big thing is when you get 1924 01:24:15,929 --> 01:24:13,749 inside it's 30% larger Orion can carry 1925 01:24:18,089 --> 01:24:15,939 four crew for 21 days where Apollo was 1926 01:24:19,619 --> 01:24:18,099 three crew for 14 days now it's also 1927 01:24:21,299 --> 01:24:19,629 taking a lot of advantage of technology 1928 01:24:23,459 --> 01:24:21,309 developments where now we've got the 1929 01:24:25,529 --> 01:24:23,469 last cockpit we've got digital displays 1930 01:24:26,819 --> 01:24:25,539 to control all the systems and able to 1931 01:24:28,379 --> 01:24:26,829 give that to us in a digital format pull 1932 01:24:31,290 --> 01:24:28,389 up our electronic procedures and 1933 01:24:33,389 --> 01:24:31,300 emergency function it also has a lot of 1934 01:24:33,869 --> 01:24:33,399 better computing power and comparison to 1935 01:24:39,150 --> 01:24:33,879 Apollo 1936 01:24:41,550 --> 01:24:39,160 less computing power than we have in our 1937 01:24:42,780 --> 01:24:41,560 watches these days a lot more safety 1938 01:24:44,940 --> 01:24:42,790 redundancies 1939 01:24:46,590 --> 01:24:44,950 it also has composite materials were 1940 01:24:48,270 --> 01:24:46,600 able to make it lighter or also be able 1941 01:24:49,860 --> 01:24:48,280 to use 3d printing to make things that 1942 01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:49,870 we couldn't make before so it's really 1943 01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:51,850 really going to be the next generation 1944 01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:54,010 vehicle that says allow us to have that 1945 01:24:57,630 --> 01:24:56,170 returned to the moon in 2024 and then 1946 01:24:59,700 --> 01:24:57,640 keep going back every year after that 1947 01:25:01,710 --> 01:24:59,710 and make that sustained presence on that 1948 01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:01,720 south pole it allows it do all the 1949 01:25:05,580 --> 01:25:03,730 things we need to to be able to be ready 1950 01:25:13,350 --> 01:25:05,590 to go from the moon to Mars shortly 1951 01:25:16,410 --> 01:25:13,360 thereafter I'm joined by NASA astronaut 1952 01:25:18,690 --> 01:25:16,420 and physician dr. Michael Barrett hey 1953 01:25:20,670 --> 01:25:18,700 Mike how does it feel to be back in your 1954 01:25:22,140 --> 01:25:20,680 home state well it's great to be back in 1955 01:25:24,330 --> 01:25:22,150 the great state of Washington and here 1956 01:25:26,220 --> 01:25:24,340 at the Museum of Flight and one special 1957 01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:26,230 thing for me is I launched on the Soyuz 1958 01:25:30,300 --> 01:25:28,330 which is across the street right over 1959 01:25:32,130 --> 01:25:30,310 here the last time I had seen it was 1960 01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:32,140 smoking for re-entry in the desert of 1961 01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:33,850 Kazakhstan and now it's here so it's 1962 01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:36,130 great that is awesome so you mentioned 1963 01:25:40,950 --> 01:25:37,810 you've launched on a Soyuz but you've 1964 01:25:42,930 --> 01:25:40,960 also launched on a shuttle and so how 1965 01:25:45,870 --> 01:25:42,940 would you feel about taking a ride in 1966 01:25:47,580 --> 01:25:45,880 Orion well I think the Soyuz in the 1967 01:25:49,140 --> 01:25:47,590 shuttle have been fabulous spacecraft 1968 01:25:50,790 --> 01:25:49,150 and they have done their job and getting 1969 01:25:52,470 --> 01:25:50,800 people to low Earth orbit for years and 1970 01:25:54,300 --> 01:25:52,480 they've done that magnificently but the 1971 01:25:56,100 --> 01:25:54,310 Orion is a very different beast it is 1972 01:25:57,570 --> 01:25:56,110 designed to take us away from low Earth 1973 01:25:59,400 --> 01:25:57,580 orbit and out into missions of 1974 01:26:00,930 --> 01:25:59,410 exploration of the moon and beyond all 1975 01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:00,940 of us would love that and there's 1976 01:26:04,260 --> 01:26:02,890 something more in that we've all had a 1977 01:26:06,330 --> 01:26:04,270 hand in the astronaut office in 1978 01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:06,340 designing and building the Orion we have 1979 01:26:10,620 --> 01:26:09,010 a berth connection if you will that we 1980 01:26:11,820 --> 01:26:10,630 really haven't seen between crew members 1981 01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:11,830 and their spaceships for a couple of 1982 01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:13,810 decades so how would I fly it I'd fly it 1983 01:26:17,250 --> 01:26:15,850 like I'm going somewhere awesome and I'd 1984 01:26:18,750 --> 01:26:17,260 fly it like it belongs to all of us 1985 01:26:21,420 --> 01:26:18,760 that's awesome 1986 01:26:24,330 --> 01:26:21,430 and so one of orion's jobs is also to 1987 01:26:26,730 --> 01:26:24,340 sustain the crew so what are some human 1988 01:26:28,950 --> 01:26:26,740 factors issues that humans in space may 1989 01:26:30,860 --> 01:26:28,960 face during long-duration flights and as 1990 01:26:33,030 --> 01:26:30,870 we get closer to sending humans to Mars 1991 01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:33,040 that's a great question we're pretty 1992 01:26:36,330 --> 01:26:34,810 good at flying for six months in 1993 01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:36,340 weightlessness and the human has shown 1994 01:26:40,650 --> 01:26:38,530 just an incredible capacity to adapt to 1995 01:26:42,090 --> 01:26:40,660 that but when you break orbit and you 1996 01:26:44,430 --> 01:26:42,100 head to Mars and you may be gone for 1997 01:26:46,740 --> 01:26:44,440 three years the earth gets smaller and 1998 01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:46,750 you can't evacuate to earth if something 1999 01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:48,370 medical happens so you have to be 2000 01:26:52,130 --> 01:26:50,970 totally autonomous and self Cabell 2001 01:26:54,020 --> 01:26:52,140 and we're looking at the cumulative 2002 01:26:55,850 --> 01:26:54,030 effects of months and years of 2003 01:26:57,320 --> 01:26:55,860 weightlessness or the fractional gravity 2004 01:26:59,480 --> 01:26:57,330 on Mars and there's a little bit more 2005 01:27:01,070 --> 01:26:59,490 radiation there's nutritional aspects of 2006 01:27:03,350 --> 01:27:01,080 it all now we have shown tremendous 2007 01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:03,360 capacity to adapt and we will see that 2008 01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:05,370 we just have to approach this I would 2009 01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:07,290 say methodically and thoughtfully and 2010 01:27:10,340 --> 01:27:08,850 document as we go but there's no 2011 01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:10,350 question that we'll meet these 2012 01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:11,850 challenges that will be great explorers 2013 01:27:18,020 --> 01:27:14,130 well thank you Mike and happy Apollo 2014 01:27:19,670 --> 01:27:18,030 50th thanks and now we're joined by some 2015 01:27:21,950 --> 01:27:19,680 visitors of the museum come on 2016 01:27:24,140 --> 01:27:21,960 come join me what is your name what are 2017 01:27:26,150 --> 01:27:24,150 your names and where are you from my 2018 01:27:28,700 --> 01:27:26,160 name is Jeremiah Jones and I am from 2019 01:27:30,950 --> 01:27:28,710 Tacoma Washington I'm Dan Miller I'm 2020 01:27:34,940 --> 01:27:30,960 from Federal Way Washington awesome so 2021 01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:34,950 you guys saw Columbia right it's amazing 2022 01:27:40,430 --> 01:27:38,010 to see it on the ground but to remember 2023 01:27:42,740 --> 01:27:40,440 seeing it when it landed and when it 2024 01:27:46,190 --> 01:27:42,750 launched it's just an amazing thing to 2025 01:27:49,820 --> 01:27:46,200 see and how was it for you Jeremiah 2026 01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:49,830 it was great I really loved it it was um 2027 01:27:55,340 --> 01:27:53,130 the first time I actually like I really 2028 01:27:57,950 --> 01:27:55,350 got to experience something like this 2029 01:28:01,060 --> 01:27:57,960 and I really loved it I really would 2030 01:28:04,010 --> 01:28:01,070 recommend for anyone to come and see it 2031 01:28:06,170 --> 01:28:04,020 alright well thank you so much and thank 2032 01:28:09,230 --> 01:28:06,180 you for joining us here in Seattle back 2033 01:28:11,390 --> 01:28:09,240 to the Saturn 5 Center thank you very 2034 01:28:14,510 --> 01:28:11,400 much Natalie all the way from Seattle 2035 01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:14,520 Washington to here in Florida 3,000 2036 01:28:21,440 --> 01:28:17,010 miles away you're looking live at pad 2037 01:28:23,420 --> 01:28:21,450 39b here in Florida the future of Orion 2038 01:28:26,900 --> 01:28:23,430 where it will launch back into space 2039 01:28:29,030 --> 01:28:26,910 aboard an SLS rocket once complete the 2040 01:28:31,100 --> 01:28:29,040 most powerful rocket in the world well 2041 01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:31,110 we've been looking at Apollo 11 then 2042 01:28:36,500 --> 01:28:34,290 Apollo 11 now we celebrate Apollo 11 2043 01:28:39,260 --> 01:28:36,510 forever just hours ago in this gallery 2044 01:28:41,810 --> 01:28:39,270 the US Postal Service issued a 50th 2045 01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:41,820 anniversary commemorative stamp to 2046 01:28:46,970 --> 01:28:44,130 forever stamps in fact one stamp 2047 01:28:49,340 --> 01:28:46,980 featuring Armstrong's iconic photograph 2048 01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:49,350 of Aldrin in his spacesuit on the 2049 01:28:53,780 --> 01:28:51,690 surface of the Moon the other stamp that 2050 01:28:56,150 --> 01:28:53,790 you see there on the right a photograph 2051 01:28:58,490 --> 01:28:56,160 of the moon showing the landing site of 2052 01:29:00,710 --> 01:28:58,500 the lunar module eagle in the Sea of 2053 01:29:03,350 --> 01:29:00,720 Tranquility a nice moment right here in 2054 01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:03,360 the Saturn fives Center now it was in 2055 01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:04,650 that spot that 2056 01:29:08,900 --> 01:29:06,570 50 years ago today Neil Armstrong took 2057 01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:08,910 the first steps by any human onto 2058 01:29:13,010 --> 01:29:10,890 another world and those moments held 2059 01:29:27,980 --> 01:29:13,020 people transfixed in front of the 2060 01:29:29,810 --> 01:29:27,990 television sets around the world we 2061 01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:29,820 could see it as it was happening we 2062 01:29:46,100 --> 01:29:43,760 and the fact that 600 million people 2063 01:29:49,130 --> 01:29:46,110 around the world were either watching or 2064 01:29:51,710 --> 01:29:49,140 listening on radio and TV as it happened 2065 01:29:58,850 --> 01:29:51,720 is a measure of the impact that this 2066 01:30:05,450 --> 01:30:03,319 the surface as as we said what was fine 2067 01:30:06,770 --> 01:30:05,460 grain with lots of rocks and if it took 2068 01:30:12,859 --> 01:30:06,780 the footprints very well and the 2069 01:30:16,700 --> 01:30:12,869 footprints stayed in place the the lamb 2070 01:30:19,569 --> 01:30:16,710 was in in good shape and exhibited no 2071 01:30:39,439 --> 01:30:19,579 damage from the landing or the descent 2072 01:30:43,100 --> 01:30:39,449 picture of the ladder with the flight of 2073 01:30:46,850 --> 01:30:43,110 Apollo 11 Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin I 2074 01:30:48,049 --> 01:30:46,860 had an around-the-world tour and every 2075 01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:48,059 place we went 2076 01:30:53,390 --> 01:30:51,449 I thought they in some places have the 2077 01:30:56,510 --> 01:30:53,400 attitude of oh well you Americans 2078 01:30:59,330 --> 01:30:56,520 finally did this not at all an attitude 2079 01:31:02,810 --> 01:30:59,340 every country regardless of their 2080 01:31:06,470 --> 01:31:02,820 internal politics they all said we did 2081 01:31:09,919 --> 01:31:06,480 it we humans everything before July 20th 2082 01:31:12,919 --> 01:31:09,929 1969 humans only had experience on one 2083 01:31:15,319 --> 01:31:12,929 planetary body from that moment on we 2084 01:31:17,839 --> 01:31:15,329 were at least in some measure a 2085 01:31:20,689 --> 01:31:17,849 multiplanetary species when Neil and 2086 01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:20,699 Buzz walked on the moon they did it of 2087 01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:22,170 course without weapons the only thing 2088 01:31:27,830 --> 01:31:24,210 they brought was cameras so it was a 2089 01:31:32,990 --> 01:31:27,840 very it was a peaceful enterprise and 2090 01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:35,820 of course before we explore the lunar 2091 01:31:40,050 --> 01:31:37,810 surface we have to get to the surface 2092 01:31:42,660 --> 01:31:40,060 and for decades nASA has shown how 2093 01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:42,670 robotic and human exploration can work 2094 01:31:46,860 --> 01:31:44,650 together to understand this distant 2095 01:32:05,580 --> 01:31:46,870 world and our future plans are no 2096 01:32:09,210 --> 01:32:05,590 different as we look back on crude 2097 01:32:11,810 --> 01:32:09,220 robotic observers open our eyes to new 2098 01:32:14,940 --> 01:32:11,820 frontiers cameras and instruments 2099 01:32:22,590 --> 01:32:14,950 prepare the way for future human 2100 01:32:26,340 --> 01:32:22,600 explorers robotic satellites test 2101 01:32:32,750 --> 01:32:26,350 missions and landing craft paved the way 2102 01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:37,640 [Music] 2103 01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:41,489 today NASA and our international 2104 01:32:47,399 --> 01:32:44,530 partners watch our lunar neighbor from 2105 01:32:51,620 --> 01:32:47,409 above as we prepare commercial Landers 2106 01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:51,630 for new science missions to the moon 2107 01:32:58,560 --> 01:32:55,210 it's been said choosing to go to the 2108 01:33:03,029 --> 01:32:58,570 moon as part and we've done that now 2109 01:33:07,739 --> 01:33:03,039 we're going back sustainably and on to 2110 01:33:09,989 --> 01:33:07,749 Mars early Landers laid the groundwork 2111 01:33:12,029 --> 01:33:09,999 for putting us on the moon now the 2112 01:33:14,489 --> 01:33:12,039 director of NASA's human lunar 2113 01:33:16,649 --> 01:33:14,499 exploration programs explains what's 2114 01:33:19,620 --> 01:33:16,659 next for Landers of the artemis 2115 01:33:21,330 --> 01:33:19,630 generation i'm standing in front of the 2116 01:33:22,919 --> 01:33:21,340 power lunar module although this one 2117 01:33:24,540 --> 01:33:22,929 never flew it's exactly the same size 2118 01:33:26,759 --> 01:33:24,550 and scale as the one Neil and Buzz used 2119 01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:26,769 to fly to the surface of the Moon 50 2120 01:33:30,359 --> 01:33:28,570 years ago the Apollo lunar module is 2121 01:33:32,399 --> 01:33:30,369 actually two vehicles together as one 2122 01:33:33,989 --> 01:33:32,409 the crew boarded the vehicle in orbit 2123 01:33:35,850 --> 01:33:33,999 and they landed on the surface of the 2124 01:33:36,959 --> 01:33:35,860 moon once they landed and completed 2125 01:33:38,850 --> 01:33:36,969 their mission the top part of the 2126 01:33:40,290 --> 01:33:38,860 vehicle would then leave and go back to 2127 01:33:42,060 --> 01:33:40,300 orbit where they would board the command 2128 01:33:43,739 --> 01:33:42,070 module to return home to earth the 2129 01:33:45,419 --> 01:33:43,749 Artemis human landing system will work 2130 01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:45,429 very similar to the Apollo will have a 2131 01:33:49,319 --> 01:33:47,530 asset and decent stage that will land on 2132 01:33:51,060 --> 01:33:49,329 the surface of the moon however it's 2133 01:33:52,770 --> 01:33:51,070 going to be updated to 21st century 2134 01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:52,780 technology we're going to have advanced 2135 01:33:56,669 --> 01:33:54,489 flight computers we will have lighter 2136 01:33:58,169 --> 01:33:56,679 components and systems and most 2137 01:34:00,629 --> 01:33:58,179 importantly will be able to carry up to 2138 01:34:02,250 --> 01:34:00,639 four astronauts and it will allow us to 2139 01:34:03,630 --> 01:34:02,260 land the first woman in the next man on 2140 01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:03,640 the surface 2141 01:34:07,830 --> 01:34:06,130 the gateways the place where the landing 2142 01:34:09,300 --> 01:34:07,840 system and the Orion crew that's 2143 01:34:11,130 --> 01:34:09,310 delivered by the Orion will come 2144 01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:11,140 together and the crew will actually 2145 01:34:14,610 --> 01:34:12,610 board the human the Artemus human 2146 01:34:16,110 --> 01:34:14,620 landing system will go to the surface of 2147 01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:16,120 the Moon when the mission is complete 2148 01:34:19,290 --> 01:34:17,770 then we'll return to the gateway the 2149 01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:19,300 Gateway actually allows us to go 2150 01:34:22,530 --> 01:34:21,130 anywhere on the surface of the Moon and 2151 01:34:24,150 --> 01:34:22,540 we really want to go to the South Pole 2152 01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:24,160 because we believe there's water there 2153 01:34:28,590 --> 01:34:26,170 and we can use water to learn how to 2154 01:34:30,570 --> 01:34:28,600 live and operate on other planets the 2155 01:34:31,950 --> 01:34:30,580 systems we're developing to take us to 2156 01:34:34,020 --> 01:34:31,960 the interaction the systems we're going 2157 01:34:35,490 --> 01:34:34,030 to use to go to Mars and beyond taking 2158 01:34:38,209 --> 01:34:35,500 humans further and farther than we've 2159 01:34:42,570 --> 01:34:40,800 and rejoining us now is an astronaut 2160 01:34:43,830 --> 01:34:42,580 who's done two spacewalks at the 2161 01:34:47,430 --> 01:34:43,840 International Space Station 2162 01:34:49,919 --> 01:34:47,440 Stanley welcome back thank you so you 2163 01:34:51,870 --> 01:34:49,929 flew in a glider the shuttle when it 2164 01:34:53,550 --> 01:34:51,880 landed you've ever thought about what if 2165 01:35:02,970 --> 01:34:53,560 you like to be in a spacecraft landing 2166 01:35:03,990 --> 01:35:02,980 on the moon or possibly even Mars yep so 2167 01:35:05,040 --> 01:35:04,000 it would be a different kind of landing 2168 01:35:06,990 --> 01:35:05,050 of course you know the shuttle landed 2169 01:35:08,820 --> 01:35:07,000 like an airplane but of course it landed 2170 01:35:10,830 --> 01:35:08,830 as a glider you got exactly one chance 2171 01:35:13,200 --> 01:35:10,840 to put it on the concrete rather than in 2172 01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:13,210 the swamp with the alligators so it's 2173 01:35:17,070 --> 01:35:14,410 important to get things right and that 2174 01:35:21,689 --> 01:35:17,080 will go for landing on rockets on the 2175 01:35:23,250 --> 01:35:21,699 planet as well the Moon and Mars don't 2176 01:35:24,990 --> 01:35:23,260 have an atmosphere you can't use wings 2177 01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:25,000 for land on the thrust of a rocket 2178 01:35:28,680 --> 01:35:27,130 engine this brings up an interesting 2179 01:35:30,179 --> 01:35:28,690 difference between landing on the moon 2180 01:35:34,649 --> 01:35:30,189 and 2181 01:35:36,869 --> 01:35:34,659 we're probably gonna have a two-part 2182 01:35:40,049 --> 01:35:36,879 spacecraft part with the crew in it and 2183 01:35:41,879 --> 01:35:40,059 a part with engines and legs for landing 2184 01:35:45,179 --> 01:35:41,889 and you'll be burning that little engine 2185 01:35:47,879 --> 01:35:45,189 on your way down and however the part 2186 01:35:49,379 --> 01:35:47,889 that you're in as the crew has its own 2187 01:35:50,969 --> 01:35:49,389 propulsion to take you back up away from 2188 01:35:52,709 --> 01:35:50,979 the moon and into orbit which means that 2189 01:35:55,319 --> 01:35:52,719 if something bad happens on the way down 2190 01:35:56,579 --> 01:35:55,329 that engine quits or you land and a leg 2191 01:35:58,859 --> 01:35:56,589 collapses and you're about to tip over 2192 01:36:00,599 --> 01:35:58,869 you can just pop off and go back up to 2193 01:36:03,750 --> 01:36:00,609 orbit and sort out what you're going to 2194 01:36:07,020 --> 01:36:03,760 do next but you are in your own asset 2195 01:36:09,179 --> 01:36:07,030 module already the whole way down on 2196 01:36:11,239 --> 01:36:09,189 Mars however Mars is a planet it's hard 2197 01:36:13,770 --> 01:36:11,249 to get off planets that's why a gigantic 2198 01:36:15,299 --> 01:36:13,780 rockets to get us off of Earth Mars a 2199 01:36:18,389 --> 01:36:15,309 lot bigger than the moon not as big as 2200 01:36:21,449 --> 01:36:18,399 here bigger than the moon so that a sent 2201 01:36:25,889 --> 01:36:21,459 vehicle is too big for a decent module 2202 01:36:28,049 --> 01:36:25,899 to carry so you are in your descent 2203 01:36:30,419 --> 01:36:28,059 module and you'll probably land and walk 2204 01:36:32,339 --> 01:36:30,429 over to your asset module and launching 2205 01:36:33,659 --> 01:36:32,349 that when it's time to go home but that 2206 01:36:35,099 --> 01:36:33,669 means you don't have that backup 2207 01:36:37,409 --> 01:36:35,109 spacecraft with you when you're doing 2208 01:36:38,969 --> 01:36:37,419 your landing so you absolutely have to 2209 01:36:40,500 --> 01:36:38,979 get it right on the first time you can't 2210 01:36:43,109 --> 01:36:40,510 hit a boulder the engine can't quit the 2211 01:36:44,369 --> 01:36:43,119 landing leg can't collapse so that's 2212 01:36:45,959 --> 01:36:44,379 another reason why the moon is a great 2213 01:36:48,359 --> 01:36:45,969 place to practice before we're ready to 2214 01:36:50,489 --> 01:36:48,369 go on good moving ground indeed yep 2215 01:36:51,929 --> 01:36:50,499 thank you so much stamina I know there's 2216 01:36:53,579 --> 01:36:51,939 a lot of young people looking up to you 2217 01:36:56,669 --> 01:36:53,589 today so thank you so much for being 2218 01:36:59,009 --> 01:36:56,679 with us Thanks all right as we continue 2219 01:37:01,759 --> 01:36:59,019 our coverage we want to take you to a 2220 01:37:04,290 --> 01:37:01,769 video from Lancaster Pennsylvania 2221 01:37:05,790 --> 01:37:04,300 showing a corn maze there if you look 2222 01:37:08,069 --> 01:37:05,800 closely on the left side of your screen 2223 01:37:16,319 --> 01:37:08,079 you can see the outline of an astronaut 2224 01:37:17,939 --> 01:37:16,329 Stan is that you over there yeah and 2225 01:37:20,009 --> 01:37:17,949 there right there is the world's largest 2226 01:37:22,169 --> 01:37:20,019 moon pie that made an appearance at the 2227 01:37:24,270 --> 01:37:22,179 visitors center over at the Marshall 2228 01:37:25,709 --> 01:37:24,280 Space Flight Center in Alabama and some 2229 01:37:27,029 --> 01:37:25,719 of our employees not those here at 2230 01:37:28,500 --> 01:37:27,039 Kennedy but over a Marshall got to 2231 01:37:30,779 --> 01:37:28,510 sample it looks like they enjoyed it 2232 01:37:33,089 --> 01:37:30,789 over there and now we want to send it 2233 01:37:35,099 --> 01:37:33,099 back over to Danielle Russa she's at the 2234 01:37:37,139 --> 01:37:35,109 Apollo Saturn Saturn v Center just 2235 01:37:40,359 --> 01:37:37,149 upstairs Danielle how are some folks out 2236 01:37:42,589 --> 01:37:40,369 here celebrating the 50th anniversary 2237 01:37:44,449 --> 01:37:42,599 while I'm back here at Kennedy Space 2238 01:37:46,310 --> 01:37:44,459 Center and I am reading some of the 2239 01:37:49,549 --> 01:37:46,320 social media comments that you guys have 2240 01:37:51,830 --> 01:37:49,559 sent to us using hashtag Apollo 50th one 2241 01:37:54,469 --> 01:37:51,840 of which is Twitter user Adi observes 2242 01:37:56,810 --> 01:37:54,479 that 50 years ago NASA's Apollo 11 2243 01:37:59,390 --> 01:37:56,820 mission changed our world and ideas of 2244 01:38:01,040 --> 01:37:59,400 what is possible by successfully landing 2245 01:38:03,169 --> 01:38:01,050 humans on the moon's surface and 2246 01:38:05,870 --> 01:38:03,179 bringing them home safely for the first 2247 01:38:07,939 --> 01:38:05,880 time in history if you truly think about 2248 01:38:09,739 --> 01:38:07,949 how many things had to have gone right 2249 01:38:13,219 --> 01:38:09,749 for us to successfully land on the moon 2250 01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:13,229 it is truly mind-blowing three Vox on 2251 01:38:17,509 --> 01:38:15,570 Twitter writes the Apollo 11 mission was 2252 01:38:19,399 --> 01:38:17,519 an immense feat of engineering and 2253 01:38:21,859 --> 01:38:19,409 completely changed our understanding of 2254 01:38:24,259 --> 01:38:21,869 the solar system couldn't be more true 2255 01:38:26,689 --> 01:38:24,269 look at the Apollo 8 earth rise image 2256 01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:26,699 the way that we saw the earth totally 2257 01:38:32,449 --> 01:38:30,449 transformed in that one photo all right 2258 01:38:33,620 --> 01:38:32,459 well thanks so much we look forward to 2259 01:38:36,020 --> 01:38:33,630 hearing more of your social media 2260 01:38:39,560 --> 01:38:36,030 comments send them over hashtag up 2261 01:38:41,359 --> 01:38:39,570 hollow 50th all right sounds good thanks 2262 01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:41,369 Danielle now let's go back over to 2263 01:39:19,799 --> 01:38:45,810 Washington DC for a look at spacesuits 2264 01:39:23,970 --> 01:39:22,379 man I am so obsessed with spacesuits I 2265 01:39:26,459 --> 01:39:23,980 love seeing all those pictures of 2266 01:39:28,529 --> 01:39:26,469 spacesuits over the years of course 2267 01:39:31,799 --> 01:39:28,539 inside the National Air and Space Museum 2268 01:39:35,189 --> 01:39:31,809 right now the og original spacesuit that 2269 01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:35,199 Neil Armstrong wore on as when the Eagle 2270 01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:37,690 landed back in 1969 has been restored 2271 01:39:41,970 --> 01:39:40,210 and went on display this week 2272 01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:41,980 restoration was funded by the public 2273 01:39:46,740 --> 01:39:44,170 through a Kickstarter campaign and 2274 01:39:49,500 --> 01:39:46,750 museum goers can now see it for the 2275 01:39:51,720 --> 01:39:49,510 first time in 13 years I am here with 2276 01:39:54,410 --> 01:39:51,730 NASA spacesuit engineered Lindsey 2277 01:39:57,120 --> 01:39:54,420 Aitchison and astronaut Randy Bresnik 2278 01:39:58,950 --> 01:39:57,130 Lindsey what are the key differences 2279 01:40:00,870 --> 01:39:58,960 between the legacy suits that you guys 2280 01:40:03,149 --> 01:40:00,880 are currently using the so called aces 2281 01:40:05,339 --> 01:40:03,159 the EMU and the new generation of suits 2282 01:40:06,779 --> 01:40:05,349 one of our biggest changes for the EBA 2283 01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:06,789 suits is we're trying to make them an 2284 01:40:10,020 --> 01:40:08,530 evolvable architecture so you have one 2285 01:40:12,359 --> 01:40:10,030 single at core architecture that means 2286 01:40:14,250 --> 01:40:12,369 every destination from low-earth orbit 2287 01:40:17,010 --> 01:40:14,260 and ISS all the way to the surface of 2288 01:40:18,930 --> 01:40:17,020 Mars oh really so not separate suits for 2289 01:40:20,189 --> 01:40:18,940 each stage exactly so if you think about 2290 01:40:21,540 --> 01:40:20,199 our life support system it's kind of 2291 01:40:22,830 --> 01:40:21,550 like the motherboard on your computer is 2292 01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:22,840 you had new technologies you can just 2293 01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:24,250 pluck out the old bit and plug in a new 2294 01:40:28,260 --> 01:40:26,050 piece so that's really a great way to 2295 01:40:30,180 --> 01:40:28,270 keep going so we do a new suit for every 2296 01:40:32,339 --> 01:40:30,190 mission and Randy you are actually 2297 01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:32,349 testing these new generations of suits 2298 01:40:35,399 --> 01:40:34,090 for Artemis is that correct it's great 2299 01:40:37,500 --> 01:40:35,409 we've gone testing on how would it 2300 01:40:39,540 --> 01:40:37,510 actually have the suit fit where do we 2301 01:40:41,189 --> 01:40:39,550 need the mobility are we able to use 2302 01:40:42,689 --> 01:40:41,199 things like suit ports and be able to 2303 01:40:44,279 --> 01:40:42,699 leave the suit outside and be able to 2304 01:40:46,319 --> 01:40:44,289 come inside through a little hatch way 2305 01:40:47,910 --> 01:40:46,329 in the back of the suit it's my favorite 2306 01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:47,920 new thing how are you testing that in 2307 01:40:53,010 --> 01:40:51,010 giant vacuum chambers in fact we are we 2308 01:40:54,689 --> 01:40:53,020 have giant vacuum chamber at the Johnson 2309 01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:54,699 Space Center a couple years ago we took 2310 01:40:59,189 --> 01:40:57,010 one of the prototype suits called z1 and 2311 01:41:01,140 --> 01:40:59,199 we actually had it inside the vacuum 2312 01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:01,150 chamber and so this is the chambers a 2313 01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:03,610 vacuum inside I'm in getting ready to 2314 01:41:07,709 --> 01:41:05,530 hop in it you know with like 10.2 psi 2315 01:41:08,939 --> 01:41:07,719 and so the suits all stiff like it's out 2316 01:41:10,770 --> 01:41:08,949 in the spacewalk and you got to crawl 2317 01:41:13,109 --> 01:41:10,780 inside the back of the suit get your 2318 01:41:15,270 --> 01:41:13,119 arms and legs into it they close up the 2319 01:41:17,069 --> 01:41:15,280 back of the suit and then we close the 2320 01:41:18,990 --> 01:41:17,079 hatch and then actually detach the suit 2321 01:41:20,669 --> 01:41:19,000 and vacuum and did a bunch of mobility 2322 01:41:22,529 --> 01:41:20,679 translations around the area 2323 01:41:24,720 --> 01:41:22,539 what can we reach like we touch but then 2324 01:41:28,529 --> 01:41:24,730 the key point of the sea port testing 2325 01:41:30,029 --> 01:41:28,539 was actually backing up getting back in 2326 01:41:32,419 --> 01:41:30,039 because obviously you need to get hooked 2327 01:41:33,709 --> 01:41:32,429 back up to go get inside the doorway and 2328 01:41:35,930 --> 01:41:33,719 working on the different ways to be able 2329 01:41:37,550 --> 01:41:35,940 to see or be able to feel or or make 2330 01:41:39,140 --> 01:41:37,560 little look guides so to guide you back 2331 01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:39,150 in to be able okay back up and crawl 2332 01:41:45,110 --> 01:41:42,690 back out I know to here has a question 2333 01:41:46,300 --> 01:41:45,120 from a fan out on the mall to hero what 2334 01:41:49,189 --> 01:41:46,310 what have we got 2335 01:41:51,439 --> 01:41:49,199 hi it's to here again from the National 2336 01:41:53,720 --> 01:41:51,449 Mall right now I just got done checking 2337 01:41:55,250 --> 01:41:53,730 out some of these amazing exhibits that 2338 01:41:57,169 --> 01:41:55,260 are here celebrating the fiftieth 2339 01:41:59,630 --> 01:41:57,179 anniversary of Apollo but also 2340 01:42:01,550 --> 01:41:59,640 showcasing some of our future plans for 2341 01:42:03,830 --> 01:42:01,560 our Artemis missions to return to the 2342 01:42:06,770 --> 01:42:03,840 moon and eventually go farther beyond to 2343 01:42:08,240 --> 01:42:06,780 Mars joining us right now are Carly and 2344 01:42:10,250 --> 01:42:08,250 some of her friends from Maryland and 2345 01:42:13,340 --> 01:42:10,260 they have a question for Randy and 2346 01:42:15,110 --> 01:42:13,350 Lindsey so what does it mean for the 2347 01:42:18,470 --> 01:42:15,120 u.s. space program to be able to go back 2348 01:42:20,450 --> 01:42:18,480 to the moon Randy the question is what 2349 01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:20,460 does it mean for the u.s. space program 2350 01:42:25,010 --> 01:42:23,370 to go back to the moon well we look is 2351 01:42:26,510 --> 01:42:25,020 it going forward to the moon I mean the 2352 01:42:28,729 --> 01:42:26,520 moon is a stepping stone you know the 2353 01:42:30,500 --> 01:42:28,739 way the lights the path to Mars but it's 2354 01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:30,510 the important part because we need to 2355 01:42:35,240 --> 01:42:33,330 test out all the Rovers all these suits 2356 01:42:36,590 --> 01:42:35,250 all the habitats all the hatches and 2357 01:42:38,270 --> 01:42:36,600 make sure that everything can work 2358 01:42:39,919 --> 01:42:38,280 because when we go to Mars we're not 2359 01:42:41,689 --> 01:42:39,929 three days away from Earth and just can 2360 01:42:43,790 --> 01:42:41,699 come on back if we need to we are 2361 01:42:45,380 --> 01:42:43,800 literally over a year away I mean it's 2362 01:42:47,090 --> 01:42:45,390 the transit time and the fact we have to 2363 01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:47,100 wait till Mars gets closer to Earth to 2364 01:42:50,060 --> 01:42:48,570 be able to come back and so we have to 2365 01:42:51,709 --> 01:42:50,070 make sure everything and all the risk is 2366 01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:51,719 bought down on the hardware the moon is 2367 01:42:54,649 --> 01:42:53,250 where we test that out and that's just 2368 01:42:56,330 --> 01:42:54,659 one of the many reasons that we go back 2369 01:42:58,220 --> 01:42:56,340 to the moon there's a scientific aspect 2370 01:42:59,780 --> 01:42:58,230 there's the energy aspect I mean the 2371 01:43:03,820 --> 01:42:59,790 moons it's just a great treasure trove 2372 01:43:06,680 --> 01:43:03,830 of scientific and energy types of 2373 01:43:08,209 --> 01:43:06,690 opportunities for us to go explore and 2374 01:43:09,709 --> 01:43:08,219 learn more because the last time we were 2375 01:43:11,120 --> 01:43:09,719 there fifty years ago it was just for a 2376 01:43:14,689 --> 01:43:11,130 few days at a time we're going there to 2377 01:43:17,270 --> 01:43:14,699 stay now thank you guys so much 2378 01:43:19,669 --> 01:43:17,280 Karen Fox is inside the National Air and 2379 01:43:25,160 --> 01:43:19,679 Space Museum right now with another 2380 01:43:27,979 --> 01:43:25,170 special guest I am here with General Tom 2381 01:43:30,050 --> 01:43:27,989 Stafford he was commander of Apollo 10 2382 01:43:32,330 --> 01:43:30,060 that mission was a dress rehearsal for 2383 01:43:33,890 --> 01:43:32,340 Apollo 11 the crew orbited the moon it 2384 01:43:36,950 --> 01:43:33,900 descended close to the surface but 2385 01:43:37,760 --> 01:43:36,960 without actually landing general 2386 01:43:39,919 --> 01:43:37,770 Stafford 2387 01:43:42,470 --> 01:43:39,929 tell us a little bit about the legacy of 2388 01:43:44,990 --> 01:43:42,480 the Apollo program for today 2389 01:43:47,090 --> 01:43:45,000 well the legacy of Apollo 2390 01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:47,100 was we started with nearly the 2391 01:43:51,950 --> 01:43:49,410 impossible that we did it in such an 2392 01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:51,960 impossible short period of time and slow 2393 01:43:59,720 --> 01:43:57,210 successfully the the lessons learned if 2394 01:44:02,689 --> 01:43:59,730 we think we could do something new 2395 01:44:04,130 --> 01:44:02,699 innovative or I don't think you could 2396 01:44:06,470 --> 01:44:04,140 probably get much better as far as 2397 01:44:10,090 --> 01:44:06,480 management how we did that program you 2398 01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:10,100 know President Kennedy on May the 25th 2399 01:44:16,910 --> 01:44:12,810 1961 so we'll go to the moon and the 2400 01:44:19,310 --> 01:44:16,920 safely return which is great and but the 2401 01:44:23,780 --> 01:44:19,320 question is how do we go through it was 2402 01:44:26,060 --> 01:44:23,790 until 12 months later that it was 2403 01:44:29,540 --> 01:44:26,070 decided how we'll go to the moon which 2404 01:44:31,729 --> 01:44:29,550 is a lunar orbit rendezvous and if we 2405 01:44:34,430 --> 01:44:31,739 had two major decisions and all the 2406 01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:34,440 maidens leaders and NASA had different 2407 01:44:38,090 --> 01:44:36,330 ideas that was floating around like you 2408 01:44:41,510 --> 01:44:38,100 have different ideas today what you can 2409 01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:41,520 do but he came out to a senior engineer 2410 01:44:48,830 --> 01:44:44,250 at Langley John Huebel and his team said 2411 01:44:50,540 --> 01:44:48,840 you proved to dr. Stevens a great deputy 2412 01:44:53,420 --> 01:44:50,550 administrator former dean of Aero and 2413 01:44:56,450 --> 01:44:53,430 Astro at MIT that the lunar orbit 2414 01:44:59,870 --> 01:44:56,460 rendezvous to do it in a way that to be 2415 01:45:03,080 --> 01:44:59,880 a smaller vehicle to be you do it faster 2416 01:45:05,900 --> 01:45:03,090 far less cost and it would be safer and 2417 01:45:07,700 --> 01:45:05,910 so that was so Steven stuck and not the 2418 01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:07,710 other people's head CEO so this is the 2419 01:45:11,330 --> 01:45:09,570 way we're going to go and then I was 2420 01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:11,340 fortunate I came on board the program 2421 01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:13,890 with the second group of astronauts two 2422 01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:14,730 months later 2423 01:45:17,810 --> 01:45:16,650 thank you so much you were also the 2424 01:45:21,080 --> 01:45:17,820 commander of the apollo-soyuz test 2425 01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:21,090 project in 1975 when American astronauts 2426 01:45:26,510 --> 01:45:23,489 and Soviet cosmonauts met in space for 2427 01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:26,520 the first time we are going to have an 2428 01:45:31,430 --> 01:45:29,130 example of a real time international 2429 01:45:33,950 --> 01:45:31,440 space partnership tomorrow on the 50th 2430 01:45:36,590 --> 01:45:33,960 anniversary of Apollo 11s landing NASA 2431 01:45:39,350 --> 01:45:36,600 astronaut drew Morgan and European Space 2432 01:45:41,320 --> 01:45:39,360 Agency astronaut Luca parmitano will 2433 01:45:43,100 --> 01:45:41,330 launch alongside Russian cosmonaut 2434 01:45:44,479 --> 01:45:43,110 Alexander Skvortsov 2435 01:45:46,220 --> 01:45:44,489 on a Soyuz rocket to the International 2436 01:45:48,920 --> 01:45:46,230 Space Station 2437 01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:48,930 I think that it's a huge honor for both 2438 01:45:53,030 --> 01:45:51,210 my crew my Soyuz crew as well as the 2439 01:45:55,370 --> 01:45:53,040 entire crew of expedition 60 that will 2440 01:46:00,500 --> 01:45:55,380 be joining the Apollo program proved 2441 01:46:03,490 --> 01:46:00,510 that if humans put their ingenuity to to 2442 01:46:06,860 --> 01:46:03,500 a scope then really anything is possible 2443 01:46:09,140 --> 01:46:06,870 we want to explore we want to improve 2444 01:46:11,390 --> 01:46:09,150 our technology and improve our science 2445 01:46:13,370 --> 01:46:11,400 and this is gonna enable us to go 2446 01:46:15,170 --> 01:46:13,380 further into the solar system and the 2447 01:46:17,870 --> 01:46:15,180 moon is a stepping point along the way 2448 01:46:19,820 --> 01:46:17,880 as we go deeper and we head to Mars and 2449 01:46:22,610 --> 01:46:19,830 we love to see a program that takes us 2450 01:46:24,770 --> 01:46:22,620 to the moon for science for more 2451 01:46:27,050 --> 01:46:24,780 technological advance my mission up to 2452 01:46:29,330 --> 01:46:27,060 the ISS is a stepping stone in that 2453 01:46:33,650 --> 01:46:29,340 direction and I'm very very excited and 2454 01:46:35,390 --> 01:46:33,660 honored to be serving this way and our 2455 01:46:37,550 --> 01:46:35,400 current station crew members Nick Hague 2456 01:46:41,780 --> 01:46:37,560 and Christina cook also shared their 2457 01:46:44,090 --> 01:46:41,790 thoughts about Apollo's legacy you know 2458 01:46:47,240 --> 01:46:44,100 growing up in a generation such as we 2459 01:46:48,860 --> 01:46:47,250 did post Apollo we never knew a world 2460 01:46:51,080 --> 01:46:48,870 where people had not walked on the moon 2461 01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:51,090 when we looked at the moon at night it 2462 01:46:55,010 --> 01:46:53,010 didn't seem as distant as it may have 2463 01:46:56,750 --> 01:46:55,020 seemed to the generation prior to the 2464 01:46:58,790 --> 01:46:56,760 Apollo mission these spacesuits 2465 01:47:01,640 --> 01:46:58,800 take their heritage from the Apollo 2466 01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:01,650 program and the equipment the technology 2467 01:47:06,980 --> 01:47:03,930 that was proven out then we continue to 2468 01:47:09,200 --> 01:47:06,990 refine as we get ready to embark on our 2469 01:47:13,780 --> 01:47:09,210 journey back to the moon so going back 2470 01:47:18,020 --> 01:47:13,790 to the moon in so many ways is going to 2471 01:47:19,640 --> 01:47:18,030 inspire this next generation one of the 2472 01:47:22,070 --> 01:47:19,650 reasons it's so important on a 2473 01:47:25,580 --> 01:47:22,080 generational level is to demonstrate 2474 01:47:27,380 --> 01:47:25,590 that as humans as a country or as an 2475 01:47:29,660 --> 01:47:27,390 international partnership when we come 2476 01:47:31,580 --> 01:47:29,670 together to achieve something great we 2477 01:47:33,500 --> 01:47:31,590 can be successful it's going to take 2478 01:47:35,150 --> 01:47:33,510 international partners it's going to 2479 01:47:37,460 --> 01:47:35,160 take commercial partners it's going to 2480 01:47:39,890 --> 01:47:37,470 bring us together the goal of landing 2481 01:47:42,260 --> 01:47:39,900 the first woman on the moon means so 2482 01:47:44,060 --> 01:47:42,270 very much to me it's wonderful to be 2483 01:47:46,370 --> 01:47:44,070 participating in the space program 2484 01:47:49,070 --> 01:47:46,380 especially as an astronaut but as any 2485 01:47:51,940 --> 01:47:49,080 person participating at a time when we 2486 01:47:55,490 --> 01:47:51,950 are harnessing all of the talents skills 2487 01:47:57,500 --> 01:47:55,500 ideas and innovation from everyone who 2488 01:48:00,250 --> 01:47:57,510 wants to participate not just to select 2489 01:48:02,990 --> 01:48:00,260 few the Apollo astronauts 2490 01:48:04,940 --> 01:48:03,000 they're the ones that set everything in 2491 01:48:06,980 --> 01:48:04,950 motion to get us back to today and it 2492 01:48:08,990 --> 01:48:06,990 may seem like we've come to the moon a 2493 01:48:11,180 --> 01:48:09,000 second time or we've returned to the 2494 01:48:14,840 --> 01:48:11,190 moon but really our space program has 2495 01:48:17,450 --> 01:48:14,850 been moving forward from day one and and 2496 01:48:21,410 --> 01:48:17,460 the the next crew that steps on the moon 2497 01:48:23,570 --> 01:48:21,420 is just another step in that long line 2498 01:48:25,910 --> 01:48:23,580 of the program moving things forward 2499 01:48:28,430 --> 01:48:25,920 we're the stone age' but I think I'm 2500 01:48:30,950 --> 01:48:28,440 just so much we don't know so much but 2501 01:48:32,990 --> 01:48:30,960 you've got to keep exploring I'm you I 2502 01:48:35,330 --> 01:48:33,000 have to advocate the greatest thing a 2503 01:48:37,460 --> 01:48:35,340 human mind can do is explore whether 2504 01:48:39,710 --> 01:48:37,470 it's reading creating painting or you 2505 01:48:42,860 --> 01:48:39,720 know and these guys are pioneers and 2506 01:48:45,320 --> 01:48:42,870 they're exploring for the benefit or our 2507 01:48:46,850 --> 01:48:45,330 knowledge and with the thirst for 2508 01:48:51,560 --> 01:48:46,860 knowledge is the most important thing in 2509 01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:51,570 the world welcome back to Kennedy Space 2510 01:48:57,110 --> 01:48:54,210 Center's launch complex 39 joining us 2511 01:48:59,180 --> 01:48:57,120 now is Regina Spellman pad B's senior 2512 01:49:01,940 --> 01:48:59,190 project manager who's overseeing all the 2513 01:49:04,160 --> 01:49:01,950 modernization of pad B as we prepare to 2514 01:49:05,930 --> 01:49:04,170 return to the moon so Regina it's both 2515 01:49:07,340 --> 01:49:05,940 of these pads were built for Apollo 50 2516 01:49:09,770 --> 01:49:07,350 years ago how are they holding up 2517 01:49:10,850 --> 01:49:09,780 they're doing a great these these pads 2518 01:49:12,590 --> 01:49:10,860 were built with some of the best 2519 01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:12,600 engineering back in the 60s and they 2520 01:49:17,330 --> 01:49:14,970 have withstood now to do whole programs 2521 01:49:19,490 --> 01:49:17,340 of spaceflight and they're ready for the 2522 01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:19,500 third the pad pad Bane has got a 2523 01:49:23,300 --> 01:49:21,690 complete makeover we have modernized her 2524 01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:23,310 and refurbished her and she is ready for 2525 01:49:26,510 --> 01:49:25,170 Space Flight what are some of the things 2526 01:49:28,700 --> 01:49:26,520 that you've been doing out there they're 2527 01:49:30,830 --> 01:49:28,710 modernized pad B so for SLS and Orion 2528 01:49:32,120 --> 01:49:30,840 we're going to a clean pad architecture 2529 01:49:33,470 --> 01:49:32,130 so one of the first things that we did 2530 01:49:35,240 --> 01:49:33,480 was to get rid of some of the old 2531 01:49:36,950 --> 01:49:35,250 shuttle infrastructure and go to a clean 2532 01:49:38,990 --> 01:49:36,960 pad so we have minimal permanent 2533 01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:39,000 infrastructure out the pad we have over 2534 01:49:42,620 --> 01:49:40,890 the last 10 years gone in and modernized 2535 01:49:43,820 --> 01:49:42,630 every system out there I can't think of 2536 01:49:45,020 --> 01:49:43,830 a single system out there that we 2537 01:49:46,940 --> 01:49:45,030 haven't touched in some way or another 2538 01:49:48,740 --> 01:49:46,950 everything has been updated and 2539 01:49:50,690 --> 01:49:48,750 modernized taking out old Apollo era 2540 01:49:52,640 --> 01:49:50,700 some Shuttle era and putting in new 2541 01:49:54,620 --> 01:49:52,650 technologies taking what was old and was 2542 01:49:56,300 --> 01:49:54,630 useful and really good and building upon 2543 01:49:57,890 --> 01:49:56,310 it and I love it I love that we're 2544 01:49:59,960 --> 01:49:57,900 taking these pads this pad that was 2545 01:50:01,760 --> 01:49:59,970 built to go to the moon and we're now 2546 01:50:03,080 --> 01:50:01,770 gonna go to the moon again I saw I love 2547 01:50:04,370 --> 01:50:03,090 it's coming full circle to be really 2548 01:50:05,900 --> 01:50:04,380 exciting thanks so much for being us 2549 01:50:08,129 --> 01:50:05,910 Regina I think we're gonna head it back 2550 01:50:10,290 --> 01:50:08,139 to Danielle 2551 01:50:12,570 --> 01:50:10,300 guys were right behind the Saturn 5 here 2552 01:50:15,149 --> 01:50:12,580 we have two very exciting KSC guests we 2553 01:50:17,820 --> 01:50:15,159 have dev and Akash so what inspired this 2554 01:50:20,399 --> 01:50:17,830 trip well when I was six I remember 2555 01:50:22,050 --> 01:50:20,409 watching the moon landing on TV and it 2556 01:50:23,220 --> 01:50:22,060 would it was such an or inspiring event 2557 01:50:25,770 --> 01:50:23,230 I wanted to bring the family here 2558 01:50:26,340 --> 01:50:25,780 amazing so is this your first time yes 2559 01:50:27,870 --> 01:50:26,350 it is 2560 01:50:29,070 --> 01:50:27,880 well what exhibit are you looking 2561 01:50:30,510 --> 01:50:29,080 forward to saying or have already

01:50:40,869 your next astronaut right here all right 2568 01:50:45,149 --> 01:50:43,150 back to you guys thank you so much 2569 01:50:47,910 --> 01:50:45,159 Danielle well it's been great being with 2570 01:50:50,580 --> 01:50:47,920 you for the Saturn 5 center here where 2571 01:50:52,950 --> 01:50:50,590 we hosted our NASA show a look ahead and 2572 01:50:55,439 --> 01:50:52,960 look behind it Apollo 11 now just ahead 2573 01:50:57,419 --> 01:50:55,449 our stem she'll forward to the moon is 2574 01:50:59,459 --> 01:50:57,429 coming up and we'll have a fun reveal 2575 01:51:01,379 --> 01:50:59,469 about the Artemis program so make sure 2576 01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:01,389 you stay tuned for that yes that's right 2577 01:51:13,830 --> 01:51:03,610 but first the final word today on Apollo 2578 01:51:19,020 --> 01:51:16,200 at this time I like to introduce to all 2579 01:51:24,570 --> 01:51:19,030 11th through astronauts Neil Armstrong 2580 01:51:29,940 --> 01:51:24,580 Michael Collins Edmund old it was the 2581 01:51:31,050 --> 01:51:29,950 ultimate peaceful competition USA versus 2582 01:51:35,280 --> 01:51:31,060 USSR 2583 01:51:37,410 --> 01:51:35,290 I'll not assert that it was a diversion 2584 01:51:40,410 --> 01:51:37,420 which prevented a war nonetheless it was 2585 01:51:42,780 --> 01:51:40,420 a diversion it was intense and it did 2586 01:51:45,480 --> 01:51:42,790 allowed to both sides to take the high 2587 01:51:48,500 --> 01:51:45,490 road with the objectives of science of 2588 01:51:51,210 --> 01:51:48,510 learning and exploration eventually 2589 01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:51,220 provided a mechanism for 2590 01:51:57,870 --> 01:51:54,970 engendering cooperation between former 2591 01:52:00,270 --> 01:51:57,880 adversaries in that sense among others 2592 01:52:07,710 --> 01:52:00,280 it was an exceptional national 2593 01:52:10,380 --> 01:52:07,720 investment for both sides welcome back 2594 01:52:13,470 --> 01:52:10,390 to DC I am here with NASA Administrator 2595 01:52:16,230 --> 01:52:13,480 Jim bridenstine it has been so inspiring 2596 01:52:19,500 --> 01:52:16,240 to be here with you all Jim tell us 2597 01:52:20,910 --> 01:52:19,510 about the next giant leap absolutely 2598 01:52:22,710 --> 01:52:20,920 you've heard a lot today about the 2599 01:52:25,260 --> 01:52:22,720 incredible accomplishments of Apollo 2600 01:52:26,610 --> 01:52:25,270 there are now several generations of 2601 01:52:28,740 --> 01:52:26,620 Americans who have dreamed about 2602 01:52:29,130 --> 01:52:28,750 returning to the moon and going beyond 2603 01:52:31,530 --> 01:52:29,140 it 2604 01:52:34,110 --> 01:52:31,540 many were born well after the Apollo 2605 01:52:37,140 --> 01:52:34,120 program ended now we're charged with 2606 01:52:39,720 --> 01:52:37,150 sending humans to Mars and first we'll 2607 01:52:41,610 --> 01:52:39,730 prepare for that journey at the moon we 2608 01:52:44,370 --> 01:52:41,620 call this that we call this program 2609 01:52:46,500 --> 01:52:44,380 Artemis and today I'm proud to share 2610 01:52:55,569 --> 01:52:46,510 with you for the very first time the 2611 01:53:00,220 --> 01:52:57,669 this is the image of exploration that 2612 01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:00,230 will carry us as we once again sent 2613 01:53:05,799 --> 01:53:03,530 humans beyond Earth orbit we invite all 2614 01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:05,809 of you to join us and follow the story 2615 01:53:12,129 --> 01:53:10,130 at nasa.gov slash artemis there is much 2616 01:53:14,439 --> 01:53:12,139 work to be done and many great stories 2617 01:53:17,069 --> 01:53:14,449 to tell along the way stories of 2618 01:53:20,379 --> 01:53:17,079 perseverance exploration and discovery 2619 01:53:24,490 --> 01:53:20,389 stories of humanity once again pressing 2620 01:53:27,339 --> 01:53:24,500 outward into the unknown we are going 2621 01:53:30,250 --> 01:53:27,349 and as we go I hope that women and men 2622 01:53:33,370 --> 01:53:30,260 of all ages and all backgrounds will 2623 01:53:36,939 --> 01:53:33,380 consider themselves part of this the 2624 01:53:40,799 --> 01:53:36,949 Artemis generation fifty years ago we 2625 01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:40,809 went to the moon we called it Apollo 2626 01:53:47,169 --> 01:53:43,130 well many people don't know is that 2627 01:53:51,540 --> 01:53:47,179 Apollo had a twin she was a woman named 2628 01:53:58,030 --> 01:53:54,850 we are returning to the men as a new 2629 01:54:00,880 --> 01:53:58,040 generation of explorers this time to 2630 01:54:03,610 --> 01:54:00,890 stay and to prepare to achieve 2631 01:54:07,120 --> 01:54:03,620 humanity's next child of sending the 2632 01:54:09,550 --> 01:54:07,130 first human missions to Mars we believe 2633 01:54:11,650 --> 01:54:09,560 our course will redefine what is 2634 01:54:14,290 --> 01:54:11,660 possible that we would discover life 2635 01:54:15,700 --> 01:54:14,300 saving earth changing science and but 2636 01:54:19,990 --> 01:54:15,710 the challenges ahead will inspire 2637 01:54:23,710 --> 01:54:20,000 generations this is our manifest for all 2638 01:54:26,319 --> 01:54:23,720 who wondered if we could return from 2639 01:54:29,060 --> 01:54:26,329 dream discussing beyond 2640 01:54:33,950 --> 01:54:29,070 this is your calling 2641 01:54:36,940 --> 01:54:33,960 we go for all of America we go 2642 01:54:38,959 --> 01:54:36,950 we go as the Artemis generation 2643 01:54:40,210 --> 01:54:38,969 [Music] 2644 01:55:10,780 --> 01:54:40,220 we go 2645 01:56:10,420 --> 01:55:16,500 [Music]

this time to stay visionaries and 2650 02:05:27,100 --> 02:05:23,600 dreamers imagine the future engineers 2651 02:05:30,160 --> 02:05:27,110 and scientists build it using math and 2652 02:05:33,130 --> 02:05:30,170 science as forms of art creating 2653 02:05:37,510 --> 02:05:33,140 technologies transforming societies 2654 02:05:40,540 --> 02:05:37,520 now we take civilization to the Stars on 2655 02:05:52,180 --> 02:05:40,550 a journey to explore and build a gateway 2656 02:05:53,050 --> 02:05:52,190 an outpost good afternoon and welcome to 2657 02:05:55,810 --> 02:05:53,060 our show 2658

stem engagements we are 2672 02:06:28,390 --> 02:06:26,210 part of the Artemis generation of 2673 02:06:31,000 --> 02:06:28,400 explorers we're going back to the moon 2674 02:06:33,220 --> 02:06:31,010 and this time to stay we just saw the 2675 02:06:35,500 --> 02:06:33,230 new Artemis branding which is truly a 2676 02:06:38,590 --> 02:06:35,510 nod to the Apollo missions what many 2677 02:06:41,200 --> 02:06:38,600 people don't know is Apollo had twin she 2678 02:06:44,110 --> 02:06:41,210 was a woman named Artemis goddess of the 2679 02:06:46,870 --> 02:06:44,120 moon as the Artemis generation we need 2680 02:06:49,600 --> 02:06:46,880 to develop the skills to get us to the 2681 02:06:52,060 --> 02:06:49,610 moon and beyond NASA's office of stem 2682 02:06:55,090 --> 02:06:52,070 engagement works with educators schools 2683 02:06:56,980 --> 02:06:55,100 and other organizations like museums to 2684 02:06:59,650 --> 02:06:56,990 immerse students in NASA's work and 2685 02:07:02,440 --> 02:06:59,660 enhance literacy in science technology 2686 02:07:05,080 --> 02:07:02,450 engineering and math generally we're 2687 02:07:07,840 --> 02:07:05,090 here to inspire the next generation to 2688 02:07:09,610 --> 02:07:07,850 explore coming up we'll see an Artemis 2689 02:07:11,740 --> 02:07:09,620 mission through the eyes of middle 2690 02:07:13,870 --> 02:07:11,750 school students from museums across the 2691 02:07:14,380 --> 02:07:13,880 country we'll also see those same 2692 02:07:16,570 --> 02:07:14,390 student 2693 02:07:20,170 --> 02:07:16,580 perform experiments that show how you 2694 02:07:21,580 --> 02:07:20,180 can recreate them from your home using 2695 02:07:24,040 --> 02:07:21,590 things that you can find around the 2696 02:07:26,040 --> 02:07:24,050 house later in the show we'll also have 2697 02:07:29,080 --> 02:07:26,050 a message from a special celebrity guest 2698 02:07:31,510 --> 02:07:29,090 we want everyone to join the forward to 2699 02:07:34,240 --> 02:07:31,520 the moon conversation using the hashtag 2700 02:07:36,370 --> 02:07:34,250 NASA stem on Twitter my team is standing 2701 02:07:38,170 --> 02:07:36,380 by to answer your questions on social 2702 02:07:42,010 --> 02:07:38,180 media I hope you join our conversation 2703 02:07:43,870 --> 02:07:42,020 online let's get started as Stephanie 2704 02:07:45,880 --> 02:07:43,880 mentioned I caught up with middle school 2705 02:07:49,300 --> 02:07:45,890 students across the country this summer 2706 02:07:51,400 --> 02:07:49,310 who use their imagination to see what it 2707 02:07:53,560 --> 02:07:51,410 would what it would be like if they took 2708 02:07:55,990 --> 02:07:53,570 over an artemis moon mission they 2709 02:07:57,850 --> 02:07:56,000 simulated a launch arrived at the lunar 2710 02:07:59,860 --> 02:07:57,860 gateway took their first steps on the 2711 02:08:02,230 --> 02:07:59,870 moon and even collected samples on the 2712 02:08:03,880 --> 02:08:02,240 lunar surface first up we'll take you 2713 02:08:10,390 --> 02:08:03,890 inside Mission Control from the 2714 02:08:12,520 --> 02:08:10,400 Cosmosphere in Kansas welcome to the 2715 02:08:14,050 --> 02:08:12,530 Space Launch Artemis three crew you will 2716 02:08:15,910 --> 02:08:14,060 have been training many months for the 2717 02:08:17,860 --> 02:08:15,920 greatest adventure of your whole life I 2718 02:08:20,020 --> 02:08:17,870 know you're a little bit nervous but 2719 02:08:21,520 --> 02:08:20,030 that is normal you'll be exploring our 2720 02:08:24,760 --> 02:08:21,530 sources though beginning with the mood 2721 02:08:28,060 --> 02:08:24,770 and eventually onto Mars when you hear 2722 02:08:30,310 --> 02:08:28,070 the words go for launch all systems will 2723 02:08:32,680 --> 02:08:30,320 be a go t-minus three minutes and 2724 02:08:35,530 --> 02:08:32,690 Counting I think it's important for NASA 2725 02:08:37,690 --> 02:08:35,540 to send people to the moon and to Mars 2726 02:08:40,240 --> 02:08:37,700 because they can do experiments to help 2727 02:08:42,640 --> 02:08:40,250 people back on earth what excites me 2728 02:08:45,580 --> 02:08:42,650 about Artemis is that it's gonna have 2729 02:08:47,170 --> 02:08:45,590 the first woman on the moon and there 2730 02:08:49,030 --> 02:08:47,180 hasn't been one before and that's really 2731 02:08:53,580 --> 02:08:49,040 cool all right Lister you are going to 2732 02:09:00,820 --> 02:08:53,590 watch main engine start ten nine eight 2733 02:09:01,940 --> 02:09:00,830 seven six five four three two one solid 2734 02:09:05,300 --> 02:09:01,950 rocket booster 2735 02:09:07,280 --> 02:09:05,310 and lids on argument is clear the towers 2736 02:09:08,900 --> 02:09:07,290 welcome to the sword system Artemis 3 2737 02:09:10,520 --> 02:09:08,910 you just passed the International Space 2738 02:09:12,500 --> 02:09:10,530 Station and should see the gunner 2739 02:09:15,140 --> 02:09:12,510 gateway and moon in this thing soon 2740 02:09:17,870 --> 02:09:15,150 navigator fire rockets on lunar orbit 2741 02:09:20,060 --> 02:09:17,880 insertion now Thank You Capcom we will 2742 02:09:22,460 --> 02:09:20,070 check in as we near gateway and are 2743 02:09:24,770 --> 02:09:22,470 getting ready to dock at Astra this is 2744 02:09:34,989 --> 02:09:24,780 one step closer to a future where better 2745 02:09:40,989 --> 02:09:37,270 so here at Kennedy Space Center we have 2746 02:09:43,299 --> 02:09:40,999 launch complex 39 that is where pad 39a 2747 02:09:45,129 --> 02:09:43,309 and 39b were used for the Apollo 2748 02:09:47,969 --> 02:09:45,139 missions and our key to the future 2749 02:09:51,279 --> 02:09:47,979 exploration of human spaceflight 2750 02:09:52,629 --> 02:09:51,289 pad 39a is where SpaceX will launch our 2751 02:09:54,609 --> 02:09:52,639 astronauts in the future to the 2752 02:09:56,080 --> 02:09:54,619 International Space Station and you can 2753 02:09:58,989 --> 02:09:56,090 see that on the left-hand side of your 2754 02:10:01,419 --> 02:09:58,999 screen pad 39b is on the right and that 2755 02:10:03,459 --> 02:10:01,429 is where our heavy lift rocket known as 2756 02:10:06,100 --> 02:10:03,469 the Space Launch System will carry the 2757 02:10:08,589 --> 02:10:06,110 Orion spacecraft for Artemis missions to 2758 02:10:10,479 --> 02:10:08,599 the moon and on to Mars we've been 2759 02:10:12,219 --> 02:10:10,489 hearing a lot about Artemis today 2760 02:10:14,439 --> 02:10:12,229 Stephanie can you tell us a little more 2761 02:10:15,669 --> 02:10:14,449 to really simplify it our Apollo 2762 02:10:17,680 --> 02:10:15,679 missions were focused on getting 2763 02:10:19,719 --> 02:10:17,690 astronauts safely to and from the moon 2764 02:10:21,459 --> 02:10:19,729 for Artemis we're going to send our 2765 02:10:23,379 --> 02:10:21,469 astronauts back to the moon and there 2766 02:10:25,689 --> 02:10:23,389 they will explore and they will utilize 2767 02:10:27,609 --> 02:10:25,699 that experience to prepare us to take 2768 02:10:29,770 --> 02:10:27,619 the next giant leap to send our 2769 02:10:32,020 --> 02:10:29,780 astronauts to Mars and Artemis will 2770 02:10:34,479 --> 02:10:32,030 require a heavy lift vehicle the Space 2771 02:10:36,609 --> 02:10:34,489 Launch System the students we met at the 2772 02:10:39,489 --> 02:10:36,619 Cosmosphere also conducted an experiment 2773 02:10:41,950 --> 02:10:39,499 using balloons as air powered rockets to 2774 02:10:43,959 --> 02:10:41,960 launch the largest payload possible this 2775 02:10:45,759 --> 02:10:43,969 science activity teaches students what 2776 02:10:48,339 --> 02:10:45,769 it takes to launch a payload into orbit 2777 02:10:54,870 --> 02:10:48,349 and even how slight variations in weight 2778 02:10:58,899 --> 02:10:57,160 here with me we have Alyssa from the 2779 02:11:00,160 --> 02:10:58,909 Cosmosphere at Hutchinson Kansas and 2780 02:11:02,290 --> 02:11:00,170 she's going to talk to us about next 2781 02:11:05,620 --> 02:11:02,300 Avenue these guys are doing it started 2782 02:11:09,189 --> 02:11:05,630 doing the NASA activity heavy lifting it 2783 02:11:11,620 --> 02:11:09,199 is a payload activity to test the amount 2784 02:11:14,649 --> 02:11:11,630 of payload they can evenly distribute 2785 02:11:18,430 --> 02:11:14,659 and how to distribute it onto their 2786 02:11:21,800 --> 02:11:18,440 rocket ship each paper clip is equal to 2787 02:11:24,840 --> 02:11:21,810 two grams of weight and there 2788 02:11:28,200 --> 02:11:24,850 challengers to get as many paper clips 2789 02:11:30,600 --> 02:11:28,210 onto the rocket as possible and be able 2790 02:11:33,320 --> 02:11:30,610 to reach the ceilings you just need an 2791 02:11:36,450 --> 02:11:33,330 elongated balloon some paper clips and a 2792 02:11:38,130 --> 02:11:36,460 clothespin to stop the airflow and some 2793 02:11:39,690 --> 02:11:38,140 masking tape all right so why don't we 2794 02:11:41,880 --> 02:11:39,700 check out what we have going on on this 2795 02:11:43,410 --> 02:11:41,890 side it looks like Drew and I'm over 2796 02:11:46,770 --> 02:11:43,420 here have some of their activities 2797 02:11:49,680 --> 02:11:46,780 started yes drew drew has a strategy 2798 02:11:52,320 --> 02:11:49,690 where he's going to convince up his 2799 02:11:54,630 --> 02:11:52,330 payload into a into a baggie and 2800 02:11:57,090 --> 02:11:54,640 distributed onto the rocket and 2801 02:11:59,750 --> 02:11:57,100 experiment with the best location to put 2802 02:12:02,910 --> 02:11:59,760 his payload for the maximum height and 2803 02:12:06,600 --> 02:12:02,920 Emma it has a different strategy where 2804 02:12:09,060 --> 02:12:06,610 she is chaining the paper clips and will 2805 02:12:12,210 --> 02:12:09,070 evenly distribute them onto and tape 2806 02:12:14,910 --> 02:12:12,220 them on to her rocket to maximize her 2807 02:12:16,980 --> 02:12:14,920 payload in and the height of her rocket 2808 02:12:19,710 --> 02:12:16,990 right and then the idea is to test the 2809 02:12:22,350 --> 02:12:19,720 different payloads to see what happens 2810 02:12:24,210 --> 02:12:22,360 or which one launches exactly so they're 2811 02:12:27,780 --> 02:12:24,220 gonna start with a very light payload 2812 02:12:30,360 --> 02:12:27,790 and I increase their test each time by a 2813 02:12:32,790 --> 02:12:30,370 few grams until they maximize their 2814 02:12:33,960 --> 02:12:32,800 payload excellent so why don't we see 2815 02:12:36,660 --> 02:12:33,970 what it looks like to launch this thing 2816 02:12:40,050 --> 02:12:36,670 so it looks like Madelyn and David have 2817 02:12:42,420 --> 02:12:40,060 finished their products yes and we have 2818 02:12:44,460 --> 02:12:42,430 a couple different design ideas this one 2819 02:12:47,070 --> 02:12:44,470 is to keep the payload up together and 2820 02:12:51,450 --> 02:12:47,080 at the bottom and then the other design 2821 02:12:52,830 --> 02:12:51,460 is to change the payload and distribute 2822 02:12:55,920 --> 02:12:52,840 the weight all the way down the length 2823 02:12:57,330 --> 02:12:55,930 of the rocket okay very nice so are you 2824 02:12:59,900 --> 02:12:57,340 able to watch one of these get launched 2825 02:13:02,490 --> 02:12:59,910 sure let's try it out 2826 02:13:05,140 --> 02:13:02,500 okay so we're gonna launch ready is 2827 02:13:12,020 --> 02:13:05,150 everyone counting three 2828 02:13:16,650 --> 02:13:14,070 so why don't we try this with another 2829 02:13:18,480 --> 02:13:16,660 payload all right so Madeline and our 2830 02:13:20,820 --> 02:13:18,490 partner have put an additional paper 2831 02:13:22,140 --> 02:13:20,830 clip on to this balloon I'm really 2832 02:13:25,500 --> 02:13:22,150 excited to see what happens with this 2833 02:13:35,070 --> 02:13:25,510 one are you guys excited let's count it 2834 02:13:36,540 --> 02:13:35,080 out ready three so for those of you who 2835 02:13:38,340 --> 02:13:36,550 would like to try this activity at home 2836 02:13:39,870 --> 02:13:38,350 please feel free to visit the website at 2837 02:13:41,400 --> 02:13:39,880 the bottom of the screen and you're more 2838 02:13:45,930 --> 02:13:41,410 than welcome to partake in this really 2839 02:13:47,910 --> 02:13:45,940 awesome exercise the heavy lift 2840 02:13:49,790 --> 02:13:47,920 experiment and many others are in our 2841 02:13:52,380 --> 02:13:49,800 stem forage of the Moon activity guide 2842 02:13:54,720 --> 02:13:52,390 parents educators and students can go to 2843 02:13:57,090 --> 02:13:54,730 the website and download the book there 2844 02:13:58,860 --> 02:13:57,100 is a ton of really fun kitchen science 2845 02:14:00,690 --> 02:13:58,870 in there I had a lot of fun with them 2846 02:14:02,760 --> 02:14:00,700 myself in fact the water filtration 2847 02:14:05,010 --> 02:14:02,770 activity you will see coming up was my 2848 02:14:07,470 --> 02:14:05,020 favorite and Stephanie all of these 2849 02:14:10,260 --> 02:14:07,480 activities can be done at home using the 2850 02:14:12,860 --> 02:14:10,270 activity guide from launching to living 2851 02:14:15,510 --> 02:14:12,870 on the moon there's a lot to learn 2852 02:14:17,310 --> 02:14:15,520 museums across the country are hosting 2853 02:14:19,200 --> 02:14:17,320 watch parties just like the one that is 2854 02:14:20,160 --> 02:14:19,210 in national in the National Mall in 2855 02:14:22,620 --> 02:14:20,170 Washington DC 2856 02:14:24,930 --> 02:14:22,630 it was coordinated by NASA and the 2857 02:14:26,730 --> 02:14:24,940 Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum here 2858 02:14:28,290 --> 02:14:26,740 you can see the monument in the 2859 02:14:31,170 --> 02:14:28,300 background with all of the exhibits 2860 02:14:32,910 --> 02:14:31,180 along both sides many of them have big 2861 02:14:34,620 --> 02:14:32,920 events that are being hosted even 2862 02:14:37,890 --> 02:14:34,630 tomorrow to commemorate the big Apollo 2863 02:14:40,350 --> 02:14:37,900 11 mission and each night this week an 2864 02:14:42,030 --> 02:14:40,360 image of a Saturn 5 rocket was being 2865 02:14:44,280 --> 02:14:42,040 projected onto the side of the 2866 02:14:47,160 --> 02:14:44,290 Washington Monument and starting tonight 2867 02:14:49,380 --> 02:14:47,170 in tomorrow a 17 minute animated show 2868 02:14:52,200 --> 02:14:49,390 will tell the story of the launch in 2869 02:14:54,330 --> 02:14:52,210 landing of Apollo 11 that's happening at 2870 02:14:56,070 --> 02:14:54,340 the National Mall in Washington DC if 2871 02:14:57,720 --> 02:14:56,080 you're in the nation's capitol this week 2872 02:15:00,090 --> 02:14:57,730 it sounds like something really worth 2873 02:15:02,400 --> 02:15:00,100 seeing it really does as you can see 2874 02:15:04,440 --> 02:15:02,410 with that that rocket on the pad as its 2875 02:15:07,260 --> 02:15:04,450 displayed on the monument it's just 2876 02:15:08,760 --> 02:15:07,270 amazing I wish I was in DC if I wasn't 2877 02:15:10,770 --> 02:15:08,770 actually able to be here with all of you 2878 02:15:12,960 --> 02:15:10,780 today exactly and despite the heat index 2879 02:15:15,870 --> 02:15:12,970 it would have been a great adventure it 2880 02:15:17,490 --> 02:15:15,880 sure would have so a few moments ago we 2881 02:15:19,050 --> 02:15:17,500 saw a mission simulation 2882 02:15:21,210 --> 02:15:19,060 the Cosmosphere where we had students 2883 02:15:23,610 --> 02:15:21,220 actually in a mission simulator I'm 2884 02:15:25,590 --> 02:15:23,620 amazed how interactive these museums are 2885 02:15:27,720 --> 02:15:25,600 right and it's so great to have these 2886 02:15:29,850 --> 02:15:27,730 experiences available to the students 2887 02:15:32,550 --> 02:15:29,860 NASA partnerships are crucial in 2888 02:15:33,720 --> 02:15:32,560 engaging students in NASA's mission not 2889 02:15:35,820 --> 02:15:33,730 only do they provide learning 2890 02:15:38,430 --> 02:15:35,830 opportunities for students they also 2891 02:15:41,040 --> 02:15:38,440 enhance the capabilities of educational 2892 02:15:42,960 --> 02:15:41,050 institutions and support educators to 2893 02:15:44,610 --> 02:15:42,970 better engage the students at the 2894 02:15:46,470 --> 02:15:44,620 Columbia Memorial Space Center in 2895 02:15:48,960 --> 02:15:46,480 California for example students can 2896 02:15:50,400 --> 02:15:48,970 return to the moon or voyage to Mars and 2897 02:15:52,230 --> 02:15:50,410 their interactive space mission 2898 02:15:53,610 --> 02:15:52,240 simulator there are a challenger 2899 02:15:54,780 --> 02:15:53,620 Learning Center where students can 2900 02:15:57,750 --> 02:15:54,790 experience the journey of exploration 2901 02:15:59,910 --> 02:15:57,760 and teamwork exactly and students there 2902 02:16:01,650 --> 02:15:59,920 took their imagination to new heights as 2903 02:16:03,870 --> 02:16:01,660 they thought through what it might be 2904 02:16:05,400 --> 02:16:03,880 like to be aboard the lunar gateway the 2905 02:16:07,500 --> 02:16:05,410 station that will orbit the moon and 2906 02:16:09,930 --> 02:16:07,510 become a rest stop as we travel further 2907 02:16:11,760 --> 02:16:09,940 to Mars someday I was there with our 2908 02:16:13,980 --> 02:16:11,770 camera crew as these middle schoolers 2909 02:16:19,819 --> 02:16:13,990 prepared to land on the moon they had a 2910 02:16:26,720 --> 02:16:22,399 Gateway tracking your orbit how do you 2911 02:16:28,669 --> 02:16:26,730 read for landing Mission Control orbit 2912 02:16:30,859 --> 02:16:28,679 established for landing on the moon 2913 02:16:33,290 --> 02:16:30,869 South Pole I think it's important to 2914 02:16:37,429 --> 02:16:33,300 send people to the moon and on to Mars 2915 02:16:39,459 --> 02:16:37,439 because discovery is a big thing and the 2916 02:16:42,469 --> 02:16:39,469 more you explore the more you know 2917 02:16:45,669 --> 02:16:42,479 initiating system checks on lunar lander 2918 02:16:48,860 --> 02:16:45,679 power systems power systems go 2919 02:16:50,419 --> 02:16:48,870 communications comms go I've always 2920 02:16:52,040 --> 02:16:50,429 wanted to go to the moon I wanted to be 2921 02:16:54,400 --> 02:16:52,050 one of the first women on the moon I 2922 02:16:56,540 --> 02:16:54,410 wanted to be first so that could be like 2923 02:16:59,389 --> 02:16:56,550 big dream come true that we're going 2924 02:17:02,599 --> 02:16:59,399 back during my time environmental 2925 02:17:04,370 --> 02:17:02,609 controls environment controls go I think 2926 02:17:07,009 --> 02:17:04,380 the most important experiment to do on 2927 02:17:09,320 --> 02:17:07,019 the moon would most likely be seeing if 2928 02:17:11,750 --> 02:17:09,330 we could find some way to make people 2929 02:17:13,339 --> 02:17:11,760 able to live on their it's gonna be the 2930 02:17:15,589 --> 02:17:13,349 first woman to go on and it's showing 2931 02:17:17,599 --> 02:17:15,599 just how much things have changed since 2932 02:17:20,809 --> 02:17:17,609 the first line element flight systems 2933 02:17:22,759 --> 02:17:20,819 flight systems go Lander system is 2934 02:17:26,419 --> 02:17:22,769 responding with green across the board 2935 02:17:28,580 --> 02:17:26,429 confirm Houston confirmed gateway lander 2936 02:17:31,490 --> 02:17:28,590 systems green proceed with descent 2937 02:17:34,610 --> 02:17:31,500 operations Roger Mission Control 2938 02:17:37,219 --> 02:17:34,620 proceeding with the sent operations what 2939 02:17:40,730 --> 02:17:37,229 excites me the most about going forward 2940 02:17:43,490 --> 02:17:40,740 to the moon is like creating a whole new 2941 02:17:44,599 --> 02:17:43,500 life and being able to discover more 2942 02:17:46,839 --> 02:17:44,609 than we thought 2943 02:17:49,910 --> 02:17:46,849 lunar expedition suits a secured 2944 02:17:52,669 --> 02:17:49,920 expedition team moving to lander what 2945 02:17:53,720 --> 02:17:52,679 excites me the most about going forward 2946 02:17:55,880 --> 02:17:53,730 to the moon 2947 02:17:58,640 --> 02:17:55,890 so learning opportunity I think it's 2948 02:18:00,980 --> 02:17:58,650 amazing that during my lifetime and 2949 02:18:03,170 --> 02:18:00,990 during like especially me at this age 2950 02:18:05,600 --> 02:18:03,180 I'll be able to experience something 2951 02:18:09,260 --> 02:18:05,610 like this expedition tooms has entered 2952 02:18:12,291 --> 02:18:09,270 the Lander hatch is secured across the 2953 02:18:15,951 --> 02:18:12,301 track on lander pressure good holding 2954 02:18:19,791 --> 02:18:15,961 nominal in the shading release seals 2955 02:18:25,161 --> 02:18:19,801 released plan they're backing away two 2956 02:18:27,650 --> 02:18:25,171 meters four meters six meters you are 2957 02:18:30,230 --> 02:18:27,660 clear expedition Lander Godspeed 2958 02:18:34,850 --> 02:18:30,240 Chloe and Lenora safe travels expedition 2959 02:18:36,590 --> 02:18:34,860 and don't forget our souvenirs the lunar 2960 02:18:38,690 --> 02:18:36,600 gateway that these young women just 2961 02:18:40,100 --> 02:18:38,700 shared with us it is such a different 2962 02:18:42,081 --> 02:18:40,110 approach from what we had during Apollo 2963 02:18:43,730 --> 02:18:42,091 that's right Stephanie it's a huge 2964 02:18:45,621 --> 02:18:43,740 innovation gateway gives us the 2965 02:18:47,840 --> 02:18:45,631 opportunity to land anywhere on the 2966 02:18:49,640 --> 02:18:47,850 surface of the Moon it will also be a 2967 02:18:52,130 --> 02:18:49,650 rest stop and staging area as we 2968 02:18:54,560 --> 02:18:52,140 continue to go on to Mars now a journey 2969 02:18:56,990 --> 02:18:54,570 to the moon takes about three days each 2970 02:18:59,451 --> 02:18:57,000 way and a great way to pass the time is 2971 02:19:01,850 --> 02:18:59,461 with music Stephanie music has actually 2972 02:19:03,740 --> 02:19:01,860 been part of trot space travel from the 2973 02:19:04,970 --> 02:19:03,750 beginning right it really has there were 2974 02:19:07,070 --> 02:19:04,980 pre-launch songs 2975 02:19:09,020 --> 02:19:07,080 shuttle crew wake-up songs and some 2976 02:19:10,400 --> 02:19:09,030 astronauts he's even played instruments 2977 02:19:12,440 --> 02:19:10,410 on the International Space Station to 2978 02:19:14,780 --> 02:19:12,450 bring a part of home to this space 2979 02:19:17,570 --> 02:19:14,790 station with them with NASA returning to 2980 02:19:19,640 --> 02:19:17,580 the moon by 2024 we asked people what 2981 02:19:21,831 --> 02:19:19,650 they thought should be on the playlist 2982 02:19:23,990 --> 02:19:21,841 for the journey and created moon tunes 2983 02:19:26,390 --> 02:19:24,000 you can listen on 3rd rock radio or use 2984 02:19:29,030 --> 02:19:26,400 the hashtag NASA moon tunes to learn 2985 02:19:31,161 --> 02:19:29,040 more one of the tunes that made the 2986 02:19:34,070 --> 02:19:31,171 playlist is the song moon in the water 2987 02:19:35,720 --> 02:19:34,080 by DAWs but for our astronauts when they 2988 02:19:37,400 --> 02:19:35,730 travel to the moon one important aspect 2989 02:19:40,340 --> 02:19:37,410 is going to be making sure they have 2990 02:19:42,201 --> 02:19:40,350 clean water on the moon no effort you've 2991 02:19:44,810 --> 02:19:42,211 recently worked with students on a water 2992 02:19:47,180 --> 02:19:44,820 filtration experiment that's right I did 2993 02:19:48,621 --> 02:19:47,190 this activity gets students thinking 2994 02:19:50,690 --> 02:19:48,631 about some of the necessities of 2995 02:19:52,911 --> 02:19:50,700 survival when it comes to living and 2996 02:19:54,711 --> 02:19:52,921 working in space in this case we looked 2997 02:19:56,900 --> 02:19:54,721 at some of the science behind cleaning 2998 02:19:58,970 --> 02:19:56,910 water and and creating a water 2999 02:20:00,711 --> 02:19:58,980 filtration system let's go back to the 3000 02:20:02,770 --> 02:20:00,721 Columbia Memorial Space Center and see 3001 02:20:04,970 --> 02:20:02,780 how it went 3002 02:20:06,411 --> 02:20:04,980 we're with Breanna at the Columbia 3003 02:20:07,520 --> 02:20:06,421 Memorial Space Center and today we're 3004 02:20:10,430 --> 02:20:07,530 going to be doing a cleaning 3005 02:20:13,100 --> 02:20:10,440 activity yeah so cleaning water is so 3006 02:20:14,900 --> 02:20:13,110 important right so I thought you know we 3007 02:20:16,490 --> 02:20:14,910 can make a water filter activity and 3008 02:20:19,580 --> 02:20:16,500 just really get the importance of water 3009 02:20:20,900 --> 02:20:19,590 and why we need exactly and as the 3010 02:20:23,511 --> 02:20:20,910 astronauts say on the International 3011 02:20:25,370 --> 02:20:23,521 Space Station tomorrow's coffee was 3012 02:20:28,280 --> 02:20:25,380 yesterday's coffee got to recycle 3013 02:20:30,711 --> 02:20:28,290 everything we can exactly and so right 3014 02:20:32,900 --> 02:20:30,721 here I have some necessary materials 3015 02:20:34,730 --> 02:20:32,910 that we do for the filter great I have 3016 02:20:37,040 --> 02:20:34,740 some beans two different kind of beans 3017 02:20:40,190 --> 02:20:37,050 some aquarium gravel because it's very 3018 02:20:42,980 --> 02:20:40,200 colorful I have some peas and also rice 3019 02:20:45,560 --> 02:20:42,990 and our favorite cotton balls excellent 3020 02:20:48,140 --> 02:20:45,570 also just to organize some things I have 3021 02:20:49,370 --> 02:20:48,150 you know a filter to filter it through 3022 02:20:53,211 --> 02:20:49,380 some goggles 3023 02:20:56,450 --> 02:20:53,221 safety first exactly and also I got some 3024 02:20:58,580 --> 02:20:56,460 pH papers so we can actually see if our 3025 02:21:00,770 --> 02:20:58,590 water is filtered awesome so we have 3026 02:21:02,780 --> 02:21:00,780 Jackie and navei continuing the activity 3027 02:21:06,551 --> 02:21:02,790 yeah so it looks like they've already 3028 02:21:10,730 --> 02:21:06,561 started their filters a powerful beans 3029 02:21:12,290 --> 02:21:10,740 Greenpeace aquarium travel and it looks 3030 02:21:14,091 --> 02:21:12,300 like they're gonna add their final step 3031 02:21:14,870 --> 02:21:14,101 which is cotton balls looks like Oh 3032 02:21:17,120 --> 02:21:14,880 excellent 3033 02:21:18,950 --> 02:21:17,130 yeah it's really easy and for our dirty 3034 02:21:20,961 --> 02:21:18,960 water that we made we actually used 3035 02:21:22,520 --> 02:21:20,971 Italian dressing so I think is really 3036 02:21:24,410 --> 02:21:22,530 fun that's really awesome so you know 3037 02:21:26,270 --> 02:21:24,420 what you did was you mixed water with 3038 02:21:28,850 --> 02:21:26,280 the Italian dressing it's that easy 3039 02:21:31,131 --> 02:21:28,860 Wow okay all three times I like to just 3040 02:21:32,900 --> 02:21:31,141 go outside and grab some dirt that's 3041 02:21:36,171 --> 02:21:32,910 even more fun I love it I love playing 3042 02:21:38,330 --> 02:21:36,181 with dirt and it gives a real feel it's 3043 02:21:39,680 --> 02:21:38,340 real dirty water and then I get to test 3044 02:21:41,240 --> 02:21:39,690 it out and see if it's gonna be clean 3045 02:21:42,801 --> 02:21:41,250 and when astronauts are on the lunar 3046 02:21:44,720 --> 02:21:42,811 gateway they're going to neat systems 3047 02:21:47,211 --> 02:21:44,730 like this to be even more efficient 3048 02:21:50,330 --> 02:21:47,221 heavy-duty systems it looks like we have 3049 02:21:52,881 --> 02:21:50,340 a completed activity here yeah so looks 3050 02:21:56,180 --> 02:21:52,891 like everything is ready to go great and 3051 02:21:57,801 --> 02:21:56,190 the goggles are on so safety first I'm 3052 02:21:59,600 --> 02:21:57,811 glad what they're ready for that so now 3053 02:22:01,490 --> 02:21:59,610 all they need to do is just add the 3054 02:22:04,131 --> 02:22:01,500 dirty water excellent and that water 3055 02:22:09,200 --> 02:22:04,141 doesn't look too dirty to me I think we 3056 02:22:11,270 --> 02:22:09,210 need to give it a stir yeah oh there we 3057 02:22:13,700 --> 02:22:11,280 go look at that dirty water he's mixing 3058 02:22:16,420 --> 02:22:13,710 the Italian dressing and water 3059 02:22:19,490 --> 02:22:16,430 [Laughter] 3060 02:22:21,260 --> 02:22:19,500 so now I would probably say it's good to 3061 02:22:25,510 --> 02:22:21,270 try out so we're gonna try this out now 3062 02:22:29,780 --> 02:22:28,580 I'm hoping it works I hope so - fingers 3063 02:22:34,610 --> 02:22:29,790 crossed 3064 02:22:36,500 --> 02:22:34,620 oh wow starting to go through it's going 3065 02:22:37,490 --> 02:22:36,510 through all the layers that's faster 3066 02:22:40,010 --> 02:22:37,500 than I would expect 3067 02:22:42,710 --> 02:22:40,020 totally and I'm actually really 3068 02:22:44,330 --> 02:22:42,720 surprised it looks very clean it looks 3069 02:22:46,520 --> 02:22:44,340 very clean for those of you interested 3070 02:22:48,590 --> 02:22:46,530

--> 02:22:59,810 Nayla for the water looks a little 3074 02:23:02,870 --> 02:23:01,110 cleaner when it comes out of the 3075 02:23:03,590 --> 02:23:02,880 filtration system on the International 3076 02:23:06,050 --> 02:23:03,600 Space Station 3077 02:23:08,090 --> 02:23:06,060 that is true Stephanie our system 3078 02:23:10,010 --> 02:23:08,100 includes a couple of technologies that 3079 02:23:12,170 --> 02:23:10,020 you don't normally have at home which is 3080 02:23:15,560 --> 02:23:12,180 why we suggest students don't drink the 3081 02:23:17,570 --> 02:23:15,570 water you filter absolutely not now we 3082 02:23:20,719 --> 02:23:17,580 want stem discoveries and experiments to 3083 02:23:22,429 --> 02:23:20,729 be exciting for everyone we do and even 3084 02:23:25,219 --> 02:23:22,439 celebrities are getting excited about 3085 02:23:27,410 --> 02:23:25,229 NASA stem activities actress and singer 3086 02:23:29,000 --> 02:23:27,420 keke palmer recently had the opportunity 3087 02:23:31,100 --> 02:23:29,010 to learn more about our initiatives and 3088 02:23:33,130 --> 02:23:31,110 she shared this message about stem and 3089 02:23:36,080 --> 02:23:33,140 NASA's Artemis missions 3090 02:23:37,940 --> 02:23:36,090 hey Kiki Palmer here and when I'm not on 3091 02:23:39,830 --> 02:23:37,950 set or in the recording studio one of my 3092 02:23:41,840 --> 02:23:39,840 favorite things to do is to learn more 3093 02:23:43,460 --> 02:23:41,850 about organizations like NASA and what 3094 02:23:45,230 --> 02:23:43,470 they're doing to push the boundaries of 3095 02:23:47,330 --> 02:23:45,240 how we understand the world around us in 3096 02:23:48,080 --> 02:23:47,340 addition tons of new inventors are on 3097 02:23:50,179 --> 02:23:48,090 the horizon 3098 02:23:52,340 --> 02:23:50,189 including Artemis NASA's mission tool 3099 02:23:54,320 --> 02:23:52,350 and the first woman and next man on the 3100 02:23:56,450 --> 02:23:54,330 moon there's never been a better time to 3101 02:23:59,179 --> 02:23:56,460 get involved in science technology 3102 02:24:00,950 --> 02:23:59,189 engineering or math visit nasa.gov slash 3103 02:24:09,331 --> 02:24:00,960 stem to learn more about how to help 3104 02:24:14,640 --> 02:24:11,911 the landing of Apollo 11 is what we are 3105 02:24:18,511 --> 02:24:14,650 commemorating today and for the first 3106 02:24:19,980 --> 02:24:18,521 time when we land our first sorry when 3107 02:24:22,291 --> 02:24:19,990 we land the first Artemus mission 3108 02:24:23,581 --> 02:24:22,301 everyone around the world is going to be 3109 02:24:25,711 --> 02:24:23,591 celebrating and it's really gonna be 3110 02:24:27,301 --> 02:24:25,721 something we can all look forward to now 3111 02:24:28,890 --> 02:24:27,311 nila fir you've recently had a trip to 3112 02:24:30,631 --> 02:24:28,900 the st. Louis Science Center I did we 3113 02:24:32,430 --> 02:24:30,641 went to the st. Louis Science Center and 3114 02:24:34,020 --> 02:24:32,440 talked to several students there we 3115 02:24:36,301 --> 02:24:34,030 asked them what they thought it would be 3116 02:24:38,461 --> 02:24:36,311 like to land on the moon and showed us 3117 02:24:39,810 --> 02:24:38,471 what they imagined the big event would 3118 02:24:42,180 --> 02:24:39,820 be it would be like they were really 3119 02:24:44,220 --> 02:24:42,190 excited they got really into it and I 3120 02:24:49,110 --> 02:24:44,230 could see our future astronaut class in 3121 02:24:51,631 --> 02:24:49,120 treating Artemis this is Houston Mission 3122 02:24:54,241 --> 02:24:51,641 Control here you have 30 seconds to feel 3123 02:24:58,770 --> 02:24:54,251 remaining we are close drifting forward 3124 02:25:01,711 --> 02:24:58,780 a little shutdown okay stop we copy you 3125 02:25:04,470 --> 02:25:01,721 down Artemis engine is off South pull 3126 02:25:06,270 --> 02:25:04,480 here Artemis has landed Roger we copy 3127 02:25:08,551 --> 02:25:06,280 you on the ground welcome to the moon 3128 02:25:11,341 --> 02:25:08,561 Artemis you're looking good I would get 3129 02:25:13,110 --> 02:25:11,351 my classmates excited about Artemis by 3130 02:25:15,451 --> 02:25:13,120 telling them how we're gonna go to the 3131 02:25:17,430 --> 02:25:15,461 moon and I just think that's really cool 3132 02:25:19,831 --> 02:25:17,440 it's very important for NASA to send 3133 02:25:23,581 --> 02:25:19,841 people to the Moon and Mars so that we 3134 02:25:27,211 --> 02:25:23,591 can learn more about our planets in our 3135 02:25:29,911 --> 02:25:27,221 solar system and we can have new people 3136 02:25:31,890 --> 02:25:29,921 go and experience that we see you 3137 02:25:34,090 --> 02:25:31,900 opening up the hatch getting ready to 3138 02:25:36,460 --> 02:25:34,100 take your first steps 3139 02:25:39,100 --> 02:25:36,470 the most important experiment to do on 3140 02:25:43,030 --> 02:25:39,110 the moon in my opinion would definitely 3141 02:25:44,680 --> 02:25:43,040 be look at ice on the moon and see if 3142 02:25:47,261 --> 02:25:44,690 there are any signs of anything ever 3143 02:25:49,900 --> 02:25:47,271 living there Artemus welcome to the moon 3144 02:25:51,340 --> 02:25:49,910 as we establish a permanent presence we 3145 02:25:53,920 --> 02:25:51,350 are closer to sending the next 3146 02:26:01,060 --> 02:25:53,930 generation of explorers to Mars this is 3147 02:26:03,040 --> 02:26:01,070 Houston out the Museum of Flight in 3148 02:26:04,930 --> 02:26:03,050 Seattle is celebrating the landing of 3149 02:26:06,970 --> 02:26:04,940 Apollo 11 mission with a lunar block 3150 02:26:09,340 --> 02:26:06,980 party for all museum guests this weekend 3151 02:26:11,590 --> 02:26:09,350 the Museum of Flight also hosts the 3152 02:26:13,390 --> 02:26:11,600 Apollo 11 command module known as 3153 02:26:15,670 --> 02:26:13,400 Columbia which is on display for the 3154 02:26:17,940 --> 02:26:15,680 guests you see gathered when living in 3155 02:26:20,290 --> 02:26:17,950 space shelter is vital for survival 3156 02:26:22,360 --> 02:26:20,300 conducting experiments and to have a 3157 02:26:24,310 --> 02:26:22,370 place to rest when surrounded by harsh 3158 02:26:26,140 --> 02:26:24,320 conditions of space and death the seat 3159 02:26:28,030 --> 02:26:26,150 Lewis Science Center students explores 3160 02:26:30,190 --> 02:26:28,040 what it would take to build a habitat 3161 02:26:32,590 --> 02:26:30,200 that could be sustainable for astronauts 3162 02:26:36,190 --> 02:26:32,600 to stay in but also practical enough to 3163 02:26:40,120 --> 02:26:38,620 we're here today at the state Lewis sine 3164 02:26:41,230 --> 02:26:40,130 Center and I'm here with Aaron who's 3165 02:26:43,300 --> 02:26:41,240 going to be showing us a little bit 3166 02:26:45,100 --> 02:26:43,310 about a habitat activity Aaron that's 3167 02:26:46,840 --> 02:26:45,110 right our astronauts have just gotten 3168 02:26:48,850 --> 02:26:46,850 back from the moon and they are already 3169 02:26:49,929 --> 02:26:48,860 designing their next lunar habitats they 3170 02:26:53,260 --> 02:26:49,939 are busy at work 3171 02:26:56,380 --> 02:26:53,270 drawing a what they think would be 3172 02:26:58,600 --> 02:26:56,390 helpful and a habitat to live if they 3173 02:27:00,340 --> 02:26:58,610 were on the moon I can't wait to see 3174 02:27:02,350 --> 02:27:00,350 what a habitat looks like so we've got 3175 02:27:05,380 --> 02:27:02,360 Evan and Nikki here and they are working 3176 02:27:07,420 --> 02:27:05,390 on actually building a 3d version of 3177 02:27:08,770 --> 02:27:07,430 their habitat it looks like deep 3178 02:27:10,840 --> 02:27:08,780 scrounger on the house and found 3179 02:27:12,700 --> 02:27:10,850 everything and the recycling good they 3180 02:27:15,100 --> 02:27:12,710 have everything here has been recycled 3181 02:27:18,280 --> 02:27:15,110 or reused anybody could do this at home 3182 02:27:19,780 --> 02:27:18,290 or school anywhere habitats are so 3183 02:27:21,790 --> 02:27:19,790 important because we need astronauts to 3184 02:27:23,380 --> 02:27:21,800 have clean drinking water and clean air 3185 02:27:25,630 --> 02:27:23,390 to breathe yes there's all kinds of 3186 02:27:28,120 --> 02:27:25,640 different issues in space what you said 3187 02:27:29,950 --> 02:27:28,130 gravity is an issue and Nikki over here 3188 02:27:32,560 --> 02:27:29,960 in the laboratory how amazing is this 3189 02:27:34,300 --> 02:27:32,570 mad scientist Space Lab so he came up 3190 02:27:36,790 --> 02:27:34,310 with a lot of ways to bring those 3191 02:27:38,410 --> 02:27:36,800 experiments safely back all right I want 3192 02:27:38,980 --> 02:27:38,420 to see you completed habitat Aaron let's 3193 02:27:40,810 --> 02:27:38,990 do it 3194 02:27:42,370 --> 02:27:40,820 ice Amaya can you tell us a little bit 3195 02:27:46,300 --> 02:27:42,380 about what you felt for us today 3196 02:27:48,640 --> 02:27:46,310 yes I built the bedroom and so in the 3197 02:27:52,179 --> 02:27:48,650 bedroom when you come in there's a 3198 02:27:57,820 --> 02:27:52,189 button on and off button so if you want 3199 02:27:59,500 --> 02:27:57,830 the gravity on you press the green 3200 02:28:02,320 --> 02:27:59,510 button and if you want to off you press 3201 02:28:06,270 --> 02:28:02,330 the red button and then there's a bed 3202 02:28:10,960 --> 02:28:06,280 like a rollout bed with a dresser Wow 3203 02:28:15,400 --> 02:28:10,970 gonna be my car non-italian well I built 3204 02:28:17,830 --> 02:28:15,410 the kitchen of the habitat and there is 3205 02:28:20,380 --> 02:28:17,840 a table right here with chairs that you 3206 02:28:23,980 --> 02:28:20,390 can push under the tables so that way it 3207 02:28:25,570 --> 02:28:23,990 saves more space and then it's just the 3208 02:28:28,000 --> 02:28:25,580 basic stuff like the sink but then 3209 02:28:31,960 --> 02:28:28,010 there's a hot water tank inside of the 3210 02:28:34,390 --> 02:28:31,970 refrigerator to keep more water inside 3211 02:28:36,440 --> 02:28:34,400 the habitat and there's a pantry on the 3212 02:28:39,261 --> 02:28:36,450 side of everything 3213 02:28:42,620 --> 02:28:39,271 Katie what are you about going on hi I 3214 02:28:45,230 --> 02:28:42,630 built the living room and the gym I 3215 02:28:48,440 --> 02:28:45,240 thought when you come home from outer 3216 02:28:52,730 --> 02:28:48,450 space you would want to relax so we have 3217 02:28:56,330 --> 02:28:52,740 a TV and couch and a little bookcase 3218 02:28:58,011 --> 02:28:56,340 with some chairs you can sit in and you 3219 02:29:00,860 --> 02:28:58,021 have a treadmill you also have some 3220 02:29:02,900 --> 02:29:00,870 oxygen and nitrogen and a computer and 3221 02:29:05,150 --> 02:29:02,910 what's in the middle of your living room 3222 02:29:07,850 --> 02:29:05,160 because I really like this it's a 3223 02:29:09,921 --> 02:29:07,860 gravity button that you can push on and 3224 02:29:12,290 --> 02:29:09,931 off if you want gravity you can push it 3225 02:29:13,671 --> 02:29:12,300 if you don't you can push it again this 3226 02:29:18,350 --> 02:29:13,681 I think we've given people at home a 3227 02:29:20,210 --> 02:29:18,360 really great idea yeah it's your 3228 02:29:21,950 --> 02:29:20,220 imagination and what you find in your 3229 02:29:22,910 --> 02:29:21,960 own house is the limit I can't wait to 3230 02:29:24,650 --> 02:29:22,920 do this at home myself 3231 02:29:26,870 --> 02:29:24,660 yeah so for those of you interested in 3232 02:29:29,000 --> 02:29:26,880 participating in this activity and many 3233 02:29:33,591 --> 02:29:29,010 others feel free to visit the website at 3234 02:29:35,720 --> 02:29:33,601 the bottom of the screen so we've 3235 02:29:37,070 --> 02:29:35,730 covered launch gateway and landing the 3236 02:29:39,140 --> 02:29:37,080 next mission on the moon but there's 3237 02:29:40,700 --> 02:29:39,150 another important step to what you've 3238 02:29:42,320 --> 02:29:40,710 asked students to imagine that's right 3239 02:29:44,660 --> 02:29:42,330 as important as all of those other 3240 02:29:47,480 --> 02:29:44,670 aspects of the mission are we are going 3241 02:29:49,310 --> 02:29:47,490 to explore so we asked students at the 3242 02:29:51,350 --> 02:29:49,320 Arizona Science Center to envision a 3243 02:29:53,330 --> 02:29:51,360 lunar sample mission at the moon South 3244 02:30:02,779 --> 02:29:53,340 Pole this is what their imagination 3245 02:30:07,620 --> 02:30:05,189 Houston Mission Control here you're at 3246 02:30:09,330 --> 02:30:07,630 the optimal lunar South Pole location to 3247 02:30:11,309 --> 02:30:09,340 begin drilling free core sample of water 3248 02:30:14,729 --> 02:30:11,319 ice irate straights time of collection 3249 02:30:16,830 --> 02:30:14,739 and analysis Houston this is Artemis 3 3250 02:30:19,080 --> 02:30:16,840 we're go for water ice sample collection 3251 02:30:20,599 --> 02:30:19,090 the core drill is in position and rover 3252 02:30:23,300 --> 02:30:20,609 analytic lab is ready 3253 02:30:25,620 --> 02:30:23,310 proceed with collection and analysis 3254 02:30:27,510 --> 02:30:25,630 drilling has started and is proceeding 3255 02:30:29,189 --> 02:30:27,520 smoothly I'm really excited for the 3256 02:30:32,250 --> 02:30:29,199 first woman to be on the moon because 3257 02:30:34,710 --> 02:30:32,260 it's a really good achievement for 3258 02:30:36,719 --> 02:30:34,720 America and the whole world I like to 3259 02:30:38,880 --> 02:30:36,729 think of it as basically a gas station 3260 02:30:41,609 --> 02:30:38,890 on the way to Mars because from the 3261 02:30:44,279 --> 02:30:41,619 earth to Mars it's pretty far away so if 3262 02:30:46,739 --> 02:30:44,289 we're able to go to the moon and split 3263 02:30:50,609 --> 02:30:46,749 the like hydrogen atoms inside the ice 3264 02:30:51,840 --> 02:30:50,619 that's hopefully there and create rocket 3265 02:30:53,849 --> 02:30:51,850 fuel out of that I feel like that would 3266 02:30:55,439 --> 02:30:53,859 be pretty cool I think it's important to 3267 02:30:57,359 --> 02:30:55,449 have activities that really help 3268 02:31:00,449 --> 02:30:57,369 students understand just how important 3269 02:31:03,449 --> 02:31:00,459 this step is impossible' solar system 3270 02:31:05,340 --> 02:31:03,459 colonization stop drilling we are at the 3271 02:31:08,309 --> 02:31:05,350 twenty inch mark block drill to begin 3272 02:31:12,300 --> 02:31:08,319 collecting sample collection complete 3273 02:31:14,960 --> 02:31:12,310 anchor the drill for core extraction the 3274 02:31:16,889 --> 02:31:14,970 drill is anchored begin extraction 3275 02:31:20,849 --> 02:31:16,899 simple ready for analysis 3276 02:31:22,590 --> 02:31:20,859 open rover sample container the 3277 02:31:23,841 --> 02:31:22,600 container is open and ready begin 3278 02:31:27,020 --> 02:31:23,851 analysis 3279 02:31:30,950 --> 02:31:27,030 I think it's important because it really 3280 02:31:33,650 --> 02:31:30,960 is the first step in understanding space 3281 02:31:35,930 --> 02:31:33,660 travel in general and along with that 3282 02:31:37,011 --> 02:31:35,940 especially for Mars just be able to see 3283 02:31:41,060 --> 02:31:37,021 whether or not there's possible 3284 02:31:43,160 --> 02:31:41,070 biological life in the ice of Mars is 3285 02:31:44,570 --> 02:31:43,170 just amazing they could really signal 3286 02:31:47,470 --> 02:31:44,580 that perhaps there is a greater chance 3287 02:31:50,091 --> 02:31:47,480 of life in our universe I feel like 3288 02:31:52,251 --> 02:31:50,101 there's not any experiment that's more 3289 02:31:54,051 --> 02:31:52,261 important than any other because any 3290 02:31:56,751 --> 02:31:54,061 experiments any experiment they're all 3291 02:31:59,360 --> 02:31:56,761 equally important analysis complete 3292 02:32:02,841 --> 02:31:59,370 Houston great news we have 72 percent 3293 02:32:05,270 --> 02:32:02,851 water ice and 28 percent regolith re was 3294 02:32:06,591 --> 02:32:05,280 three that is great news those numbers 3295 02:32:08,360 --> 02:32:06,601 suggest that this is an excellent 3296 02:32:10,700 --> 02:32:08,370 location for a long-duration lunar 3297 02:32:12,501 --> 02:32:10,710 habitat this is an important step in 3298 02:32:14,091 --> 02:32:12,511 helping to ensure this generation will 3299 02:32:15,770 --> 02:32:14,101 be taking the free steps on the surface 3300 02:32:17,841 --> 02:32:15,780 of Mars great work 3301 02:32:20,001 --> 02:32:17,851 Houston out I feel like we can learn a 3302 02:32:21,680 --> 02:32:20,011 lot about how the moon was formed and 3303 02:32:22,850 --> 02:32:21,690 when we learned more about that we can 3304 02:32:25,610 --> 02:32:22,860 learn more about how the earth was 3305 02:32:27,830 --> 02:32:25,620 formed and learn more on from there I 3306 02:32:30,440 --> 02:32:27,840 think just feels to say you're their 3307 02:32:34,360 --> 02:32:30,450 first really making the mark for the 3308 02:32:37,160 --> 02:32:34,370 21st century is just absolutely amazing 3309 02:32:39,950 --> 02:32:37,170 man I tell you these kids are great I 3310 02:32:42,080 --> 02:32:39,960 love hearing how how excited they are 3311 02:32:43,490 --> 02:32:42,090 for our lunar missions and to see them 3312 02:32:45,140 --> 02:32:43,500 as they walk through these simulations 3313 02:32:47,030 --> 02:32:45,150 and put this themselves in the role of 3314 02:32:49,280 --> 02:32:47,040 flight controller and astronaut 3315 02:32:51,770 --> 02:32:49,290 it's just inspirational and I can see 3316 02:32:54,020 --> 02:32:51,780 how interactive these simulations are it 3317 02:32:56,030 --> 02:32:54,030 starts really great conversations in the 3318 02:32:58,160 --> 02:32:56,040 classroom and at home that's exactly 3319 02:33:00,080 --> 02:32:58,170 what we aim to do with the activity 3320 02:33:02,330 --> 02:33:00,090 guide encourage families to do these 3321 02:33:04,430 --> 02:33:02,340 activities at home and talk about them 3322 02:33:07,131 --> 02:33:04,440 that's really what science is all about 3323 02:33:09,801 --> 02:33:07,141 asking the questions getting an answer 3324 02:33:12,261 --> 02:33:09,811 and then asking the next question from 3325 02:33:13,850 --> 02:33:12,271 what you learned and it was so much fun 3326 02:33:16,131 --> 02:33:13,860 working with the kids at the different 3327 02:33:18,530 --> 02:33:16,141 locations I want to send a big thank you 3328 02:33:20,961 --> 02:33:18,540 to the Cosmosphere the Columbia Memorial 3329 02:33:23,091 --> 02:33:20,971 Space Center the st. Louis Science 3330 02:33:24,890 --> 02:33:23,101 Center and the Arizona Science Center 3331 02:33:27,080 --> 02:33:24,900 for all their help in making this show 3332 02:33:28,520 --> 02:33:27,090 possible it's great to work with such 3333 02:33:30,921 --> 02:33:28,530 great organizations who have the same 3334 02:33:33,261 --> 02:33:30,931 goals as NASA exactly there are great 3335 02:33:35,150 --> 02:33:33,271 museums schools and other informal 3336 02:33:36,309 --> 02:33:35,160 education organizations around the 3337 02:33:38,109 --> 02:33:36,319 country doing 3338 02:33:41,229 --> 02:33:38,119 amazing work to teach teach and 3339 02:33:43,059 --> 02:33:41,239 encourage kids about stem we are going 3340 02:33:45,760 --> 02:33:43,069 forward to the moon and to get us there 3341 02:33:48,029 --> 02:33:45,770 and on to Mars we need you the Artemis 3342 02:33:49,960 --> 02:33:48,039 generation to be the next scientists 3343 02:33:52,689 --> 02:33:49,970 technologists engineers and 3344 02:33:55,149 --> 02:33:52,699 mathematicians to take us further than 3345 02:34:01,090 --> 02:33:55,159 we have ever gone before to learn more 3346 02:34:03,040 --> 02:34:01,100 you can go to our website at WWF and you 3347 02:34:05,619 --> 02:34:03,050 can join our online conversation using 3348 02:34:07,630 --> 02:34:05,629 the hashtag NASA stem on Facebook and 3349 02:34:09,369 --> 02:34:07,640 Twitter we will leave you now with a 3350 02:34:11,710 --> 02:34:09,379 song from NASA's collection of moon
