00:00:00,969 --> 00:00:05,330
When we think of the women of NASA, we often
think of the legends.

2
00:00:05,330 --> 00:00:09,910
Like those who became the first American women
to launch into space.

3
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:12,810
But the list doesn’t stop there.

4
00:00:12,810 --> 00:00:19,220
Thousands of us have been bold in our pursuit
of knowledge, exploration, and discovery – both

5
00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:21,890
in the spotlight and behind the scenes.

6
00:00:21,890 --> 00:00:24,779
And every day, we're pushing the envelope
further.

7
00:00:24,779 --> 00:00:31,509
In the past year alone, we conducted the first,
all-woman spacewalk, broke records for the

8
00:00:31,509 --> 00:00:37,630
longest single spaceflight by a woman, and
added six women to our astronaut corps.

9
00:00:37,630 --> 00:00:43,620
Behind the scenes, we made other accomplishments
like piloting observatories, leading

10
00:00:43,620 --> 00:00:47,930
missions to places we’ve only dreamed of
and so much more.

11
00:00:47,930 --> 00:00:49,830
But this is just the beginning.

12
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:57,460
Soon, we will go even farther: directing launches,
taking our first steps on the Moon with the

13
00:00:57,460 --> 00:01:02,040
Artemis Program and making groundbreaking
discoveries.

14
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:08,640
Inspiring the future explorers, scientists
and engineers who will one day take our first

15
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,790
steps on
Mars.

16
00:01:11,790 --> 00:01:17,080
During the first all-woman spacewalk, astronaut
Jessica Meir said something we should all

17
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,850
keep
in mind: “There’s been a long line of

18
00:01:19,850 --> 00:01:23,780
female scientists, explorers, engineers and
astronauts and

19
00:01:23,780 --> 00:01:28,210
we have followed in their footsteps to get
us where we are today.”
