45
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:52,640

with us vice chair of the joint chiefs

51
00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:04,240

being at the air force academy not long

53
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:09,200
ago when we we commissioned the very

54
00:02:12,949 --> 00:02:10,640
first class

55
00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:12,959

00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:16,879
and that combined with the return of

58
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:18,480
american

59
00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:20,560
leadership in human space exploration

60
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:23,280
this is an extraordinarily exciting time

61
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:25,360
and it comes at an important time in the

62
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:27,120
life of our nation

63
00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:30,239
we find ourselves over the last

64
00:02:33,430 --> 00:02:31,920
many months dealing with an

65
00:02:35,589 --> 00:02:33,440
unprecedented

66
00:02:37,270 --> 00:02:35,599
pandemic but we've seen the american

67
00:02:38,229 --> 00:02:37,280
people respond from our health care

68
00:02:40,229 --> 00:02:38,239
workers

69
00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:40,239
to first responders

70
00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:42,160
to leadership at every level across the

71
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:43,440
country

72
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:45,040
we have stepped forward and met this

73
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:47,040
moment as a nation

74
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:50,000
but now as of today when all 50 states

75
00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:52,560
are in some measure beginning to reopen

76
00:02:56,070 --> 00:02:54,720
when we see encouraging signs of

77
00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:56,080
beginning

78
00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:58,319
to put the heartbreaking

79
00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:00,720
losses

80
00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:02,720
that we've experienced

81
00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:05,440
and uh and the case numbers

82
00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:08,159
declining uh that uh

83
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:10,480
it it's it's a time of great hope and a

84
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:12,000
great encouragement even the news

85
00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:13,920
yesterday of a promising new vaccine

86
00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:15,200
being developed

87
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:17,120
is uh giving hope to the american people

88
00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:18,720
that we'll get through this

89
00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:20,080
and when the history of this time is

90
00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:21,360
written

91
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:22,720
we'll record that we got through this

92
00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:25,440
together working together as americans

93
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,959
under the leadership of this president

94
00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:28,480
and full partnership with all of our

95
00:03:31,589 --> 00:03:30,239
governors with a whole of government a

96
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:31,599
whole of america approach we've

97
00:03:34,309 --> 00:03:32,640
responded

98
00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:34,319
but it seems to me all together fitting

99
00:03:38,789 --> 00:03:35,840
that

100
00:03:40,949 --> 00:03:38,799
as uh as the as the american people

101
00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:40,959
come every day closer to that day that

102
00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:43,760
we put the coronavirus epidemic in the

103
00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:45,120
past that we're approaching such an

104
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:46,799
exciting time

105
00:03:51,270 --> 00:03:49,280
in the life of uh our nation whether it

106
00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:51,280
be the launch of the space force or

107
00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:52,959
whether it be the launch of american

108
00:03:58,830 --> 00:03:55,680

109
00:04:02,470 --> 00:03:58,840

00:06:56,469 --> 00:06:54,240
astronauts to talk to

186
00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:56,479
yes sir in fact they would be here right

187
00:07:00,790 --> 00:06:58,639
now and they are going through some

188
00:07:03,670 --> 00:07:00,800
final medical treatment

189
00:07:05,909 --> 00:07:03,680
and as a matter of fact something is a

190
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:05,919
code of typing testing

191
00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:07,520
so that kind of gives you

192
00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:10,000
a situation that we've been operating

193
00:07:14,790 --> 00:07:12,240
under during these days and while it's

194
00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:14,800
been difficult also important

195
00:07:18,950 --> 00:07:16,800
which is why we've been moving forward

196
00:07:21,189 --> 00:07:18,960
with alacrity

197
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:21,199
i can tell you another important

198
00:07:25,909 --> 00:07:23,280
update that i just got it gave me a

199
00:07:28,830 --> 00:07:25,919
heavy heart to share it with you on but

200
00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:28,840
annie glenn the widow of john

201
00:07:35,430 --> 00:07:32,400
passaway um just to make maybe even this

202
00:07:37,110 --> 00:07:35,440
morning i just got the other day um

203
00:07:38,469 --> 00:07:37,120
the reason i bring that up is because

204
00:07:41,749 --> 00:07:38,479
it's a reminder

205
00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:41,759
of the the shoulders that we think about

206
00:07:47,909 --> 00:07:44,800
we think about the mercury program the

207
00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:47,919
gemini program the apollo program

208
00:07:52,230 --> 00:07:50,240
and and the history

209
00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:52,240
that that is behind us

210
00:07:55,990 --> 00:07:53,440
as you mentioned

211
00:07:57,270 --> 00:07:56,000
watch american astronauts on a brand new

212
00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:57,280
rocket

213
00:08:01,270 --> 00:07:59,759
this has happened in american history

214
00:08:03,909 --> 00:08:01,280
four times

215
00:08:06,469 --> 00:08:03,919
mercury gemini

216
00:08:09,830 --> 00:08:06,479
and now commercial pool i should say

217
00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:09,840
space pedal and now the fifth time

218
00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:12,319
so this is a historic moment and i look

219
00:08:17,110 --> 00:08:14,720
forward to bob and joining us as soon as

220
00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:17,120
they get done with their medical testing

221
00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:19,440
uh in the meantime sir you're absolutely

222
00:08:23,990 --> 00:08:22,080
right um we're going back to communion

223
00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:24,000
we're going sustainably we're following

224
00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:26,560
the president's space policy directive

225
00:08:31,270 --> 00:08:27,360
month

226
00:08:33,670 --> 00:08:31,280
um as you announced just over a year ago

227
00:08:36,790 --> 00:08:33,680
the next man but the first woman to the

228
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:36,800
south pole of moon by 2024

229
00:08:41,829 --> 00:08:38,880
and we have been moving forward very

230
00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:41,839
rapidly with g5 and state

231
00:08:45,269 --> 00:08:43,599
um and i'll just go through the

232
00:08:49,030 --> 00:08:45,279
different elements of that

233
00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:49,040
where we've been making great progress

234
00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:52,720
we all know that sls is a rocket program

235
00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:54,800
that has been met with challenges and

236
00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:57,360
delays and cost overruns but i want to

237
00:09:01,190 --> 00:08:58,560
be clear

238
00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:01,200
we are very happy right now at nashville

239
00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:05,040
that the fls course page is complete

240
00:09:10,070 --> 00:09:07,360
i want to say that again sir

241
00:09:13,269 --> 00:09:10,080
the sls core date is complete and all

242
00:09:16,070 --> 00:09:13,279
four rf-25 engines have been integrated

243
00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:16,080
it is now assembled at the tennis space

244
00:09:20,550 --> 00:09:18,240
center in mississippi and it will be

245
00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:20,560
going through a green run test

246
00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:23,360
this summer and the fall

247
00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:26,240
i will tell you um we we would be

248
00:09:29,509 --> 00:09:27,920
complete with the grain run by the end

249
00:09:31,350 --> 00:09:29,519
of the summer if it wasn't for the

250
00:09:33,509 --> 00:09:31,360
proto-virus which

251
00:09:35,110 --> 00:09:33,519
set us back we had enough voltage at the

252
00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:35,120
stennis space center

253
00:09:39,269 --> 00:09:36,959
but i'll tell you we're in flight state

254
00:09:41,350 --> 00:09:39,279
there the sls rocket is looking very

255
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:41,360
positive and we're going to be ready to

256
00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:42,240
launch

257
00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:44,880
the orion crew capital around the moon

258
00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:47,040
in 2021

259
00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:48,880
it's hard to it's hard to hold

260
00:09:56,070 --> 00:09:54,150
by the end of 2021 having a food capsule

261
00:09:57,670 --> 00:09:56,080
around the moon for two times since the

262
00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:57,680
apollo program

263
00:10:02,949 --> 00:10:00,320
um so i want to be clear the orion

264
00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:02,959
capital is also complete also the

265
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:04,720
european service module which is of

266
00:10:08,949 --> 00:10:06,880
course the propulsion and the life

267
00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:08,959
support capabilities for the environment

268
00:10:12,790 --> 00:10:10,800
capital it's complete they've been

269
00:10:15,509 --> 00:10:12,800
integrated we've sent them up to

270
00:10:18,550 --> 00:10:15,519
plumbrook this is part of the glenn

271
00:10:20,389 --> 00:10:18,560
research center up in ohio it i think

272
00:10:21,509 --> 00:10:20,399
came back amazing

273
00:10:23,670 --> 00:10:21,519
uh they

274
00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:23,680
i was kind of shocked with how little

275
00:10:29,430 --> 00:10:26,880
problems we've had with the orion

276
00:10:31,829 --> 00:10:29,440
and i'm knocking on loading this

277
00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:31,839
um the orion crew capsule is back at

278
00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:35,440
kennedy and it is waiting for slf rocket

279
00:10:39,750 --> 00:10:38,399
to turn it where it will be mated

280
00:10:43,350 --> 00:10:39,760
and then launch

281
00:10:44,389 --> 00:10:43,360
in 2021 towards the end of 2021 around

282
00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:44,399
the year

283
00:10:49,430 --> 00:10:46,720
um in the meantime we continue to

284
00:10:51,430 --> 00:10:49,440
develop the gateway which is how we make

285
00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:51,440
sure that our landing systems on the

286
00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:54,320
moon are sustainable we need reusable

287
00:10:58,550 --> 00:10:56,480
landings we need to be able to go back

288
00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:58,560
and forth between the gateway

289
00:11:02,150 --> 00:11:00,880
which is a small bait station in orbit

290
00:11:04,470 --> 00:11:02,160
around the minute

291
00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:04,480
and the surface over and over again if

292
00:11:08,470 --> 00:11:06,160
we make those landers

293
00:11:10,389 --> 00:11:08,480
we'll have a sustainable program where

294
00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:10,399
we will be able to have aftermath on the

295
00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:11,440
surface

296
00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:13,360
for long periods of time and we will be

297
00:11:17,269 --> 00:11:15,920
able to access any part of the moon at

298
00:11:20,230 --> 00:11:17,279
any time

299
00:11:20,949 --> 00:11:20,240
for a strategic objective of this nation

300
00:11:23,509 --> 00:11:20,959
so

301
00:11:25,030 --> 00:11:23,519
these are important capabilities the

302
00:11:26,829 --> 00:11:25,040
power and propulsion equipment to the

303
00:11:29,590 --> 00:11:26,839
gateway is under contract being

304
00:11:32,389 --> 00:11:29,600
developed um a small habitation module

305
00:11:34,389 --> 00:11:32,399
we call it info is also being developed

306
00:11:37,509 --> 00:11:34,399
those two elements are going to be mated

307
00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:37,519
by 2023 and launched into orbit around

308
00:11:41,509 --> 00:11:38,800
the moon

309
00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:41,519
establishing owl outposts

310
00:11:46,710 --> 00:11:44,640
around the moon by 2023.

311
00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:46,720
we also have international partners that

312
00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:48,800
are very excited about the gateway and

313
00:11:53,350 --> 00:11:51,040
you know the japanese faith agency the

314
00:11:55,990 --> 00:11:53,360
european space agency the canadian space

315
00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:56,000
agency are all excited about building

316
00:12:00,629 --> 00:11:58,480
elements on that gateway

317
00:12:02,949 --> 00:12:00,639
for long-term

318
00:12:04,870 --> 00:12:02,959
human capability in orbit around the

319
00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:04,880
moon

320
00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:08,160
i would also say in order to achieve

321
00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:11,760
this monumental moment of funding a free

322
00:12:17,030 --> 00:12:13,920
capital down the moon by next year we

323
00:12:18,710 --> 00:12:17,040
have to have long cab 39 ready to go

324
00:12:21,190 --> 00:12:18,720
launch pad 39

325
00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:21,200
has its history apollo and the space

326
00:12:25,190 --> 00:12:22,560
shuttle program

327
00:12:29,910 --> 00:12:28,710
um and so we're very excited about this

328
00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:29,920
program

329
00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:31,920
i i think it's also important to note

330
00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:33,040
that we have

331
00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:35,760
um an extra vehicular mobility unit

332
00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:37,440
sometimes called a spacesuit that we

333
00:12:41,350 --> 00:12:39,040
have now designed here at the johnson

334
00:12:42,949 --> 00:12:41,360
space center we've designed it so that

335
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:42,959
we can walk on the surface of the moon

336
00:12:45,990 --> 00:12:44,320
which is very different than doing

337
00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:46,000
spacewalks with the international space

338
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:48,800
station we've got dust issues we've got

339
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:50,560
thermal issues

340
00:12:55,829 --> 00:12:54,000
and and we have a food that is um i

341
00:12:56,870 --> 00:12:55,839
wouldn't say it's ready to go grime

342
00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:56,880
ornaments are

343
00:13:02,150 --> 00:12:59,200
almost there and by 2024 we will be

344
00:13:05,590 --> 00:13:02,160
ready to walk on the surface of the moon

345
00:13:08,710 --> 00:13:05,600
uh we also as you're aware announced um

346
00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:08,720
we had a graduation ceremony for 11 new

347
00:13:12,069 --> 00:13:10,160
astronauts

348
00:13:14,470 --> 00:13:12,079
um these are the best that america has

349
00:13:16,710 --> 00:13:14,480
to offer i know that you've looked over

350
00:13:18,389 --> 00:13:16,720
there by the before they were there when

351
00:13:19,990 --> 00:13:18,399
their class started

352
00:13:21,750 --> 00:13:20,000
they called themselves the turtle

353
00:13:24,550 --> 00:13:21,760
because of the story you told when they

354
00:13:25,750 --> 00:13:24,560
first came in into the astronaut

355
00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:25,760
as as

356
00:13:28,629 --> 00:13:26,880
candidates

357
00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:28,639
um but i will tell you that they have

358
00:13:35,110 --> 00:13:32,000
not graduated there's a test um and we

359
00:13:36,790 --> 00:13:35,120
we actually put out all doing it

360
00:13:39,030 --> 00:13:36,800
for for a new action

361
00:13:41,910 --> 00:13:39,040
we had 12 000

362
00:13:44,629 --> 00:13:41,920
astronauts um applicants

363
00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:44,639
so this is a a demonstration of how

364
00:13:49,910 --> 00:13:47,440
inspiring nasa the nation

365
00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:49,920
uh and and certainly

366
00:13:54,389 --> 00:13:51,839
i think it's important though

367
00:13:56,710 --> 00:13:54,399
we put the requirements on the astronaut

368
00:13:57,910 --> 00:13:56,720
candidates um higher than they've ever

369
00:13:59,590 --> 00:13:57,920
been before

370
00:14:02,389 --> 00:13:59,600
um and yet we've still got twelve

371
00:14:04,790 --> 00:14:02,399
thousand applicants so the moon program

372
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:04,800
is underway it's going to ask what we'll

373
00:14:08,310 --> 00:14:07,360
also first do we've got the commercial

374
00:14:09,350 --> 00:14:08,320
payload

375
00:14:11,110 --> 00:14:09,360
program

376
00:14:12,389 --> 00:14:11,120
next year we're going to launch

377
00:14:14,310 --> 00:14:12,399
the commercial

378
00:14:17,110 --> 00:14:14,320
lander to the surf moon i'm talking

379
00:14:19,509 --> 00:14:17,120

the the artemis program

386
00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:34,000

393
00:14:53,189 --> 00:14:50,959

398
00:15:03,509 --> 00:15:01,360
long-term goal

399
00:15:05,509 --> 00:15:03,519

human's basement program

407
00:15:25,030 --> 00:15:21,440
and in fact the space pocket directly

408
00:15:27,509 --> 00:15:25,040
run being without a moon program

409
00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:27,519

uh

577
00:23:08,710 --> 00:23:06,400
space shuttle mission

578
00:23:11,750 --> 00:23:08,720
and uh this is going to be a little bit

579
00:23:13,029 --> 00:23:11,760
uh different uh i'd i'd love

580
00:23:14,710 --> 00:23:13,039
i'd love for you to share with the

581
00:23:16,310 --> 00:23:14,720
national space council and to those

582
00:23:17,909 --> 00:23:16,320
looking on

583
00:23:19,830 --> 00:23:17,919
what is it what does it mean to you to

584
00:23:23,350 --> 00:23:19,840
be going back to space from american

585
00:23:24,950 --> 00:23:23,360
soil after nearly 10 years

586
00:23:27,110 --> 00:23:24,960
and

587
00:23:28,470 --> 00:23:27,120
since we uh since we ended the space

588
00:23:31,590 --> 00:23:28,480
shuttle program

589
00:23:34,149 --> 00:23:31,600
uh number two did you expect us to be

590
00:23:36,630 --> 00:23:34,159
headed back to space and uh number three

591
00:23:38,310 --> 00:23:36,640
how how different uh how different is

592
00:23:41,830 --> 00:23:38,320
this experience

593
00:23:44,149 --> 00:23:41,840
uh in uh in training and uh

594
00:23:46,549 --> 00:23:44,159
and in the uh and in the rocket itself

595
00:23:48,230 --> 00:23:46,559
the spacecraft uh from uh from the

596
00:23:51,110 --> 00:23:48,240
shuttle mission whatever you want to

597
00:23:53,510 --> 00:23:51,120
reflect

598
00:23:54,470 --> 00:23:53,520
yeah i appreciate that sir

599
00:24:00,950 --> 00:23:54,480
the

600
00:24:01,750 --> 00:24:00,960
public flight

601
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:01,760
um

602
00:24:07,510 --> 00:24:05,520
just 30 years of history

603
00:24:11,029 --> 00:24:07,520
the right day

604
00:24:13,909 --> 00:24:11,039
was just a awful experience for her and

605
00:24:15,590 --> 00:24:13,919
uh great to share with her

606
00:24:17,990 --> 00:24:15,600
of course

607
00:24:22,710 --> 00:24:18,000
folks that were involved with for so

608
00:24:29,110 --> 00:24:26,470
you know the last uh plus years has been

609
00:24:52,390 --> 00:24:29,120
a lot of work and luck

610
00:24:57,269 --> 00:24:54,710
i think bob will uh

611
00:25:01,029 --> 00:24:57,279
certainly agree with me that

612
00:25:03,269 --> 00:25:01,039
the shovel training program would very

613
00:25:05,590 --> 00:25:03,279
much establish

614
00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:05,600
almost down to the minute we

615
00:25:09,909 --> 00:25:08,080
do a year and a half before

616
00:25:12,870 --> 00:25:09,919
every day

617
00:25:15,350 --> 00:25:12,880
very well

618
00:25:17,990 --> 00:25:15,360
the training program that we have

619
00:25:20,230 --> 00:25:18,000
again it was comfortable that we took an

620
00:25:22,870 --> 00:25:20,240
active role along with

621
00:25:26,390 --> 00:25:22,880
training folks here in africa and folks

622
00:25:29,110 --> 00:25:26,400
of spacex to develop

623
00:25:31,510 --> 00:25:29,120
so it's been a work in progress

624
00:25:34,789 --> 00:25:31,520
for at least the last few years

625
00:25:37,190 --> 00:25:34,799
and it will probably continue to be home

626
00:25:39,510 --> 00:25:37,200
for the next few weeks until it gets to

627
00:25:40,830 --> 00:25:39,520
be this finished product

628
00:25:43,750 --> 00:25:40,840
it was a very neat

629
00:25:45,430 --> 00:25:43,760
experience to offer our instant and

630
00:25:47,510 --> 00:25:45,440
operational experience we're going to

631
00:25:49,430 --> 00:25:47,520
make this main program where it is now

632
00:25:51,830 --> 00:25:49,440
but i think it's going to continue to

633
00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:51,840
improve but it was almost

634
00:25:55,669 --> 00:25:53,840
experienced from uh

635
00:25:58,070 --> 00:25:55,679
is that right is that right how about

636
00:26:00,149 --> 00:25:58,080
the spacecraft how do you think uh

637
00:26:02,470 --> 00:26:00,159
and uh what i'll go to bob

638
00:26:04,870 --> 00:26:02,480
uh colonel how uh

639
00:26:06,789 --> 00:26:04,880
how different uh is this ride gonna be

640
00:26:10,149 --> 00:26:06,799
uh you think from your shuttle ride is

641
00:26:12,630 --> 00:26:10,159
or is it different at all

642
00:26:14,470 --> 00:26:12,640
oh yeah i i think for both uh

643
00:26:20,310 --> 00:26:14,480
you're expecting a very different

644
00:27:19,029 --> 00:26:21,269
of course

645
00:27:24,549 --> 00:27:21,029
mission off and we're really looking

646
00:27:27,029 --> 00:27:24,559
forward to you know doing them

647
00:27:29,110 --> 00:27:27,039
doing a good job to take care of the

648
00:27:30,630 --> 00:27:29,120
members of our team as we get

649
00:27:32,870 --> 00:27:30,640
mission of docking to the international

650
00:27:35,110 --> 00:27:32,880
space station

651
00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:35,120
well it's it really is interesting to me

652
00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:37,760
uh doug that you talk about uh with the

653
00:27:43,510 --> 00:27:40,880
shuttle program you literally day by day

654
00:27:45,830 --> 00:27:43,520
had after years and years you had a

655
00:27:47,990 --> 00:27:45,840
training plan in place and uh with this

656
00:27:50,310 --> 00:27:48,000
one it sounds like it's uh

657
00:27:53,750 --> 00:27:50,320
with the commercial crew concept it's

658
00:27:56,070 --> 00:27:53,760
been you've been uh helping to invent uh

659
00:27:59,430 --> 00:27:56,080
the preparations as you've gone

660
00:28:03,830 --> 00:27:59,440
and uh that's a great testament uh

661
00:28:05,110 --> 00:28:03,840
to both of you uh and uh to the the fact

662
00:28:06,950 --> 00:28:05,120
that uh

663
00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:06,960
while americans astronauts have gone to

664
00:28:11,669 --> 00:28:09,120
space many times over the last 50 years

665
00:28:14,549 --> 00:28:11,679
you all are in a very real sense

666
00:28:17,110 --> 00:28:14,559
trailblazers of a new era do you

667
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:17,120
do you feel that or is this uh do you

668
00:28:22,950 --> 00:28:20,000
see this just more as a continuation

669
00:28:24,950 --> 00:28:22,960
but how excited uh uh how excited are

670
00:28:26,789 --> 00:28:24,960
you doug just simply about

671
00:28:29,110 --> 00:28:26,799
about whether it uh whether it be this

672
00:28:30,630 --> 00:28:29,120
mission or whether it be artemis uh

673
00:28:32,710 --> 00:28:30,640
whether it be uh

674
00:28:34,870 --> 00:28:32,720
whether it be the united states space

675
00:28:36,950 --> 00:28:34,880
force uh what what does all this mean to

676
00:28:39,110 --> 00:28:36,960
a guy that's uh

677
00:28:42,789 --> 00:28:39,120
that's that's been at this uh

678
00:28:45,269 --> 00:28:42,799
uh for a great career like you

00:28:48,549 --> 00:28:45,279
well thank you i it's tremendously

any idea about the uh

786
00:33:08,230 --> 00:33:05,519
potential for launch do they have a

787
00:33:09,590 --> 00:33:08,240
long-range projection

788
00:33:11,430 --> 00:33:09,600
yes sir

00:33:13,430 --> 00:33:11,440

writing this review on thursday and

791
00:33:19,750 --> 00:33:16,240
friday where we go through every element

792
00:33:22,830 --> 00:33:21,509
system subsystem

793
00:33:35,990 --> 00:33:22,840
a

794
00:33:37,350 --> 00:33:36,000
with the

795
00:33:39,350 --> 00:33:37,360
police force

796
00:33:41,590 --> 00:33:39,360
of course has launched

797
00:33:43,909 --> 00:33:41,600
the the clear the crank

798
00:33:46,710 --> 00:33:43,919
um you know a lot of the riding for the

799
00:33:59,430 --> 00:33:48,549
with airspace as well

800
00:34:02,630 --> 00:34:00,549
um

801
00:34:04,389 --> 00:34:02,640
we now have

802
00:34:06,149 --> 00:34:04,399
since 1970

803
00:34:07,909 --> 00:34:06,159
uh under con

804
00:34:09,349 --> 00:34:07,919
in human landings

805
00:34:10,869 --> 00:34:09,359
to go back to the

806
00:34:13,589 --> 00:34:10,879
right time system

807
00:34:17,589 --> 00:34:13,599
and and we modeled that

808
00:34:20,310 --> 00:34:17,599
after what we were a commercial resupply

809
00:34:22,389 --> 00:34:20,320
program right of course we're going to

810
00:34:24,790 --> 00:34:22,399
be launching all the commercial crew

811
00:34:26,629 --> 00:34:24,800
program here in just a few workplaces

812
00:34:29,030 --> 00:34:26,639
but we so when we

813
00:34:30,069 --> 00:34:29,040
want to go with partners which of course

814
00:34:31,990 --> 00:34:30,079
was

815
00:34:33,430 --> 00:34:32,000
based policy director

816
00:34:35,430 --> 00:34:33,440
so we are not

817
00:34:37,270 --> 00:34:35,440
putting and operating the land

818
00:34:39,030 --> 00:34:37,280
we're going to land on the moon

819
00:34:41,829 --> 00:34:39,040
we're going to help develop the planning

820
00:34:43,430 --> 00:34:41,839
system side-by-side

821
00:34:46,149 --> 00:34:43,440
right but then we're going to

822
00:34:51,669 --> 00:34:46,159
um and and we will become a customer one

823
00:34:55,270 --> 00:34:53,270
on innovation

824
00:34:56,550 --> 00:34:55,280
and of course

825
00:34:59,829 --> 00:34:56,560
on safety

826
00:35:01,270 --> 00:34:59,839
so so all of these things um conspire to

827
00:35:05,589 --> 00:35:01,280
support

828
00:35:06,950 --> 00:35:05,599

829
00:35:09,030 --> 00:35:06,960
informing how we're going to go at the

830
00:35:10,870 --> 00:35:09,040
moment

831
00:35:13,109 --> 00:35:10,880

832
00:35:14,790 --> 00:35:13,119

00:35:51,670 --> 00:35:47,920
piece

851
00:35:53,190 --> 00:35:51,680
of unleashing exactly the kind of uh

852
00:35:55,109 --> 00:35:53,200
private uh

a great pleasure to join you and members

862
00:36:14,870 --> 00:36:13,520
of the national space council as

863
00:36:17,349 --> 00:36:14,880
mentioned you've all heard the first

864
00:36:19,750 --> 00:36:17,359
american-built spacecraft to carry an

865
00:36:23,270 --> 00:36:19,760
american crew into space

866
00:36:25,349 --> 00:36:23,280
since 2011 will be launched this will

867
00:36:26,950 --> 00:36:25,359
demonstrate the growing capabilities of

868
00:36:28,069 --> 00:36:26,960
america's commercial space launch

869
00:36:30,630 --> 00:36:28,079
industry

870
00:36:32,790 --> 00:36:30,640
to ensure the continued viability of our

871
00:36:35,109 --> 00:36:32,800
growing commercial space industry the

872
00:36:37,109 --> 00:36:35,119
department of transportation

873
00:36:39,510 --> 00:36:37,119
under your leadership has been making

874
00:36:41,589 --> 00:36:39,520
organizational and procedural changes

875
00:36:42,790 --> 00:36:41,599
that will enable innovation and protect

876
00:36:45,589 --> 00:36:42,800
the public

877
00:36:48,390 --> 00:36:45,599
first the faa which is part of the dot

878
00:36:50,550 --> 00:36:48,400
has established an office of space ports

879
00:36:53,670 --> 00:36:50,560
to support existing sites to better

880
00:36:56,470 --> 00:36:53,680
manage the licensing of new space ports

881
00:36:59,430 --> 00:36:56,480
with a licensing approval last week of

882
00:37:01,829 --> 00:36:59,440
titusville in florida there are now 12

883
00:37:04,310 --> 00:37:01,839
spaceports in the united states and the

884
00:37:06,630 --> 00:37:04,320
faa is currently working on applications

885
00:37:09,270 --> 00:37:06,640
for nine additional sites so we're on

886
00:37:10,710 --> 00:37:09,280
our way second to ensure better

887
00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:10,720
accountability and have the

888
00:37:14,550 --> 00:37:12,240
responsibility

889
00:37:16,870 --> 00:37:14,560
for all launch and re-entry licensing

890
00:37:19,030 --> 00:37:16,880
and oversight responsibilities under one

891
00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:19,040
executive we have completed the

892
00:37:24,230 --> 00:37:22,000
reorganization of the faa's office of

893
00:37:26,470 --> 00:37:24,240
commercial space transportation

894
00:37:28,470 --> 00:37:26,480
one advantage that we already see is an

895
00:37:30,790 --> 00:37:28,480
improvement in communications with the

896
00:37:33,190 --> 00:37:30,800
stakeholders they now have a single

897
00:37:34,710 --> 00:37:33,200
point of contact for questions and

898
00:37:36,470 --> 00:37:34,720
feedback

899
00:37:39,030 --> 00:37:36,480
third in addition to these

900
00:37:41,349 --> 00:37:39,040
organizational changes the office is

901
00:37:43,910 --> 00:37:41,359
re-engineering all of its internal

902
00:37:47,829 --> 00:37:43,920
processes so this will promote

903
00:37:50,069 --> 00:37:47,839
effectiveness efficiency and scalability

904
00:37:52,230 --> 00:37:50,079
and will better meet the future needs of

905
00:37:53,430 --> 00:37:52,240
stakeholders while continuing to protect

906
00:37:56,150 --> 00:37:53,440
the public

907
00:37:59,430 --> 00:37:56,160
now these last two efforts will maximize

908
00:38:01,589 --> 00:37:59,440
the benefits of the proposed streamlined

909
00:38:02,950 --> 00:38:01,599
launch and re-entry rule and that's what

910
00:38:05,430 --> 00:38:02,960
you're talking about

911
00:38:07,430 --> 00:38:05,440
in response to the president's mandate

912
00:38:09,109 --> 00:38:07,440
and your mandate as well

913
00:38:11,750 --> 00:38:09,119
the department issued a notice of

914
00:38:13,829 --> 00:38:11,760
proposed rulemaking to streamline and

915
00:38:17,030 --> 00:38:13,839
increase flexibility

916
00:38:19,670 --> 00:38:17,040
in its launch and re-entry licensing

917
00:38:23,109 --> 00:38:19,680
requirements the department is currently

918
00:38:26,069 --> 00:38:23,119
evaluating the commons to its nprm and

919
00:38:28,550 --> 00:38:26,079
expects to meet the council's directive

920
00:38:31,829 --> 00:38:28,560
to publish the final rule

921
00:38:35,990 --> 00:38:31,839
in early fall if everybody around the

922
00:38:41,190 --> 00:38:37,990
the proposed rule will provide a

923
00:38:43,270 --> 00:38:41,200
performance value regulatory approach

924
00:38:45,589 --> 00:38:43,280
that will keep pace with innovation

925
00:38:47,430 --> 00:38:45,599
while protecting safety it will

926
00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:47,440
strengthen collaboration among

927
00:38:53,750 --> 00:38:50,880
stakeholders by encouraging both legacy

928
00:38:56,390 --> 00:38:53,760
and new launch and entry re-entry

929
00:38:59,349 --> 00:38:56,400
operators to suggest and implement

930
00:39:02,630 --> 00:38:59,359
design and operation solutions it will

931
00:39:05,190 --> 00:39:02,640
allow for a single license to be granted

932
00:39:06,550 --> 00:39:05,200
for multiple launches from different

933
00:39:09,030 --> 00:39:06,560
locations

934
00:39:11,030 --> 00:39:09,040
so in summary i'm pleased to report that

935
00:39:13,670 --> 00:39:11,040
the department is on track to meet the

936
00:39:16,230 --> 00:39:13,680

we've got about 12 additional ones that

941
00:39:25,750 --> 00:39:23,760

00:39:38,069 --> 00:39:36,720
all right good that's how we move as

948
00:39:39,750 --> 00:39:38,079
quickly as we do

949
00:39:41,990 --> 00:39:39,760
secretary ross

950
00:39:45,270 --> 00:39:42,000
thank you vice president pence for the

951
00:39:48,310 --> 00:39:45,280
opportunity to update the national space

952
00:39:49,829 --> 00:39:48,320
council on the department of commerce's

953
00:39:52,790 --> 00:39:49,839
implementation

954
00:39:54,310 --> 00:39:52,800
of space policy directives two

955
00:39:56,710 --> 00:39:54,320
and three

956
00:40:00,069 --> 00:39:56,720
after extensive discussions with

957
00:40:01,910 --> 00:40:00,079
industry and government agencies we

958
00:40:05,190 --> 00:40:01,920
published this morning

959
00:40:07,349 --> 00:40:05,200
on the federal register website a new

960
00:40:11,349 --> 00:40:07,359
remote sensing rule

961
00:40:13,990 --> 00:40:11,359
it ensures that u.s space companies will

962
00:40:17,670 --> 00:40:14,000
remain competitive in the fast

963
00:40:21,589 --> 00:40:17,680
developing global markets for commercial

964
00:40:22,550 --> 00:40:21,599
remote sensing products and services

965
00:40:25,670 --> 00:40:22,560
second

966
00:40:29,230 --> 00:40:25,680
our office of space commerce will very

967
00:40:32,150 --> 00:40:29,240
soon launch the open architecture data

968
00:40:34,390 --> 00:40:32,160
repository that will consolidate

969
00:40:38,230 --> 00:40:34,400
existing and new

970
00:40:41,030 --> 00:40:38,240
space situational awareness data sets

971
00:40:43,750 --> 00:40:41,040
and that will be a major breakthrough

972
00:40:46,470 --> 00:40:43,760
in assuring that we can deal with the

973
00:40:50,829 --> 00:40:46,480
problem of space debris and space

974
00:40:57,190 --> 00:40:52,390
excellent

975
00:40:58,950 --> 00:40:57,200
thank you uh uh and

976
00:41:01,829 --> 00:40:58,960
i appreciate you referencing space

977
00:41:03,910 --> 00:41:01,839

partner and a customer

983
00:41:15,349 --> 00:41:13,119
um

984
00:41:17,829 --> 00:41:15,359

985
00:41:19,829 --> 00:41:17,839
entrepreneurial space industry and you

986
00:41:20,470 --> 00:41:19,839

sensing activities

991
00:41:33,510 --> 00:41:32,160
from the statutory 120 days to 60 days

992
00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:33,520

tremendous amount of investment

995
00:41:42,630 --> 00:41:40,560

we're going to shorten the time in which

1055
00:43:44,069 --> 00:43:42,079
we find the solution by using america's

1056
00:43:45,270 --> 00:43:44,079

work with you to tackle the challenges

1066
00:44:05,910 --> 00:44:04,720
of a new era of space exploration and

1067
00:44:07,750 --> 00:44:05,920
development

1068
00:44:10,309 --> 00:44:07,760
the department of energy doe as we

1069
00:44:12,630 --> 00:44:10,319
fondly refer to it has an accomplished

1070
00:44:15,910 --> 00:44:12,640
history in all of these efforts of

1071
00:44:17,750 --> 00:44:15,920
reaching to and even beyond the horizon

1072
00:44:19,349 --> 00:44:17,760
and as i shared with you at the last

1073
00:44:20,470 --> 00:44:19,359
council meeting i argue that in many

1074
00:44:22,710 --> 00:44:20,480
ways

1075
00:44:24,470 --> 00:44:22,720
doe not only stands for the department

1076
00:44:26,870 --> 00:44:24,480
of energy it stands for the department

1077
00:44:31,030 --> 00:44:26,880
of exploration and we look forward to

1078
00:44:33,109 --> 00:44:31,040
being good partners with you i like that

1079
00:44:35,510 --> 00:44:33,119

our departments and focus our efforts on

1082
00:44:40,790 --> 00:44:39,359
the president's space policy i've

1083
00:44:43,190 --> 00:44:40,800
established a high-level space

1084
00:44:45,030 --> 00:44:43,200
coordination group that cuts across our

1085
00:44:46,710 --> 00:44:45,040
entire enterprise and reports directly

1086
00:44:48,470 --> 00:44:46,720
to my policy team

1087
00:44:50,309 --> 00:44:48,480
and i've also charged

1088
00:44:52,550 --> 00:44:50,319
the secretary of energy advisory board

1089
00:44:54,550 --> 00:44:52,560
cf as we call it inside the department

1090
00:44:56,550 --> 00:44:54,560
with developing strategic advice and

1091
00:44:57,990 --> 00:44:56,560
guidance for our space related programs

1092
00:45:00,069 --> 00:44:58,000
i'm excited

1093
00:45:02,790 --> 00:45:00,079

in addition we've been meeting regularly

1099
00:45:13,910 --> 00:45:11,599
with our colleagues at nasa to better

1100
00:45:16,550 --> 00:45:13,920
align our space program activities and

1101
00:45:19,109 --> 00:45:16,560
support america's return to the moon

1102
00:45:21,270 --> 00:45:19,119
our next giant leap to mars

1103
00:45:23,589 --> 00:45:21,280

1104
00:45:25,910 --> 00:45:23,599
us and together we in nasa are

1105
00:45:27,349 --> 00:45:25,920
revitalizing my memorandum of

1106
00:45:29,109 --> 00:45:27,359
cooperation

1107
00:45:30,870 --> 00:45:29,119
and standing up senior level working

1108
00:45:33,270 --> 00:45:30,880
groups that will jointly address some of

1109
00:45:36,069 --> 00:45:33,280
the highest priority technical hurdles

1110
00:45:37,750 --> 00:45:36,079
that nasa has identified for us

1111
00:45:39,750 --> 00:45:37,760
at the same time and meanwhile i should

1112
00:45:41,349 --> 00:45:39,760
say we've also launched a series of

1113
00:45:42,470 --> 00:45:41,359
briefings for department of defense

1114
00:45:43,750 --> 00:45:42,480
officials

1115
00:45:45,510 --> 00:45:43,760
on our capabilities that could

1116
00:45:46,870 --> 00:45:45,520
contribute to the mission of the new u.s

1117
00:45:48,550 --> 00:45:46,880
space force

1118
00:45:49,990 --> 00:45:48,560
we've had a long relationship with our

1119
00:45:52,230 --> 00:45:50,000
friends at the defense department as

1120
00:45:53,750 --> 00:45:52,240
well as excellent collaboration

1121
00:45:55,589 --> 00:45:53,760
between does

and nasa for the release of space

1126
00:46:06,150 --> 00:46:02,880
weather data that's collected by doe

1127
00:46:08,309 --> 00:46:06,160
developed space-based nuclear explosion

1128
00:46:09,829 --> 00:46:08,319
monitoring payloads that's a mouthful

1129
00:46:11,270 --> 00:46:09,839
but it's important work that we've done

1130
00:46:12,550 --> 00:46:11,280
at doe

1131
00:46:15,430 --> 00:46:12,560
we'll rely

1132
00:46:17,349 --> 00:46:15,440
on the experiences on those experiences

1133
00:46:18,870 --> 00:46:17,359
that we have to grow our engagement with

1134
00:46:20,630 --> 00:46:18,880
the space force

1135
00:46:23,030 --> 00:46:20,640
by identifying doe technical

1136
00:46:24,630 --> 00:46:23,040
capabilities that we think will support

1137
00:46:26,069 --> 00:46:24,640
and enhance this important critical

1138
00:46:27,910 --> 00:46:26,079
mission

1139
00:46:30,309 --> 00:46:27,920
and recognizing the important uh

1140
00:46:31,829 --> 00:46:30,319
enlarged potential of a future

1141
00:46:33,990 --> 00:46:31,839
space economy

1142
00:46:35,510 --> 00:46:34,000
we've redoubled our efforts with the u.s

1143
00:46:37,109 --> 00:46:35,520
department of commerce and some of our

1144
00:46:39,190 --> 00:46:37,119
sister agencies

1145
00:46:41,829 --> 00:46:39,200
on encouraging u.s space commercial

1146
00:46:44,470 --> 00:46:41,839
growth in a safe and stable orbital

1147
00:46:46,150 --> 00:46:44,480
environment and in particular does world

1148
00:46:47,990 --> 00:46:46,160
leading work in the next generation of

1149
00:46:49,030 --> 00:46:48,000
computing technologies like i mentioned

1150
00:46:51,109 --> 00:46:49,040
earlier

1151
00:46:53,109 --> 00:46:51,119
which extends to quantum information

1152
00:46:55,190 --> 00:46:53,119
artificial intelligence we think these

1153
00:46:57,589 --> 00:46:55,200
could greatly assist in commerce's role

1154
00:47:00,309 --> 00:46:57,599
to protect space industry partners from

1155
00:47:02,309 --> 00:47:00,319
space weather related events and debris

1156
00:47:04,150 --> 00:47:02,319
that we all know exists out there

1157
00:47:06,470 --> 00:47:04,160
our 17 national laboratories are

1158
00:47:07,829 --> 00:47:06,480
actively working on a portfolio of space

1159
00:47:10,309 --> 00:47:07,839
related research and development

1160
00:47:12,550 --> 00:47:10,319
activities and our office of technology

1161
00:47:14,870 --> 00:47:12,560
transitions has established a dedicated

1162
00:47:16,309 --> 00:47:14,880
portal on its laboratory partnering

1163
00:47:18,550 --> 00:47:16,319
service which is available to the

1164
00:47:21,349 --> 00:47:18,560
american public and where information

1165
00:47:23,430 --> 00:47:21,359
can be found on our work within doe and

1166
00:47:26,309 --> 00:47:23,440
it spans everything from launch vehicles

1167
00:47:28,470 --> 00:47:26,319
to robotics to propulsion

1168
00:47:30,630 --> 00:47:28,480
and one of one of the most fundamental

1169
00:47:31,829 --> 00:47:30,640
needs for any space mission is a

1170
00:47:34,710 --> 00:47:31,839
reliable

1171
00:47:37,109 --> 00:47:34,720
and sustained supply of power and this

1172
00:47:39,829 --> 00:47:37,119
is where we at doe i think come to the

1173
00:47:41,510 --> 00:47:39,839
fore specifically as part of the broader

1174
00:47:43,430 --> 00:47:41,520
strategy to regain american global

1175
00:47:45,990 --> 00:47:43,440
leadership in nuclear energy we're

1176
00:47:48,790 --> 00:47:46,000
leading efforts with the private sector

1177
00:47:50,710 --> 00:47:48,800
to promote development and deployment of

1178
00:47:53,270 --> 00:47:50,720
small modular reactors in micro

1179
00:47:55,430 --> 00:47:53,280
microreactors these are technologies

1180
00:47:57,430 --> 00:47:55,440
that could be modified to provide

1181
00:47:59,829 --> 00:47:57,440
sustainable power sources for space

1182
00:48:02,950 --> 00:47:59,839
applications such as surface power and

1183
00:48:04,150 --> 00:48:02,960
thermal nuclear thermal propulsion

1184
00:48:05,990 --> 00:48:04,160
we're already working with our

1185
00:48:07,589 --> 00:48:06,000
colleagues at nasa and dod on

1186
00:48:10,309 --> 00:48:07,599
applications of these technologies and

1187
00:48:11,910 --> 00:48:10,319
we look forward to the expanded use of

1188
00:48:15,430 --> 00:48:11,920
safe and new

1189
00:48:17,349 --> 00:48:15,440
secure nuclear energy technologies

1190
00:48:19,750 --> 00:48:17,359
in particular we are partnering with

1191
00:48:23,109 --> 00:48:19,760
nasa to demonstrate nuclear thermal

1192
00:48:24,790 --> 00:48:23,119
propulsion and surface fission reactors

1193
00:48:27,109 --> 00:48:24,800
which will support power requirements

1194
00:48:29,750 --> 00:48:27,119
for crew transportation to the moon and

1195
00:48:31,829 --> 00:48:29,760
eventually mars as well as help us power

1196
00:48:33,670 --> 00:48:31,839
our envisioned outposts there with

1197
00:48:36,390 --> 00:48:33,680
nuclear propulsion we can potentially

1198
00:48:39,270 --> 00:48:36,400
cut the time of space travel to mars by

1199
00:48:41,349 --> 00:48:39,280
half while offering increased mission

1200
00:48:43,990 --> 00:48:41,359
flexibility or as we like to say with

1201
00:48:47,109 --> 00:48:44,000
ndoe our goal is to get to mars and back

1202
00:48:49,510 --> 00:48:47,119
on one tank of gas and we will do it

1203
00:48:51,030 --> 00:48:49,520
but this is only just the beginning sir

1204
00:48:53,270 --> 00:48:51,040
the president's space policy has

1205
00:48:54,950 --> 00:48:53,280
challenged us to think differently about

1206
00:48:55,990 --> 00:48:54,960
the space demand

1207
00:48:57,510 --> 00:48:56,000
domain

1208
00:48:59,430 --> 00:48:57,520
than we have

1209
00:49:01,030 --> 00:48:59,440
during the space race or even during

1210
00:49:02,069 --> 00:49:01,040
more recent times

1211
00:49:03,750 --> 00:49:02,079
and

1212
00:49:05,270 --> 00:49:03,760
you know your leadership service called

1213
00:49:06,790 --> 00:49:05,280
us together to meet this challenge and

00:49:07,990 --> 00:49:06,800
i'm honored to be here and represent a

1215
00:49:09,750 --> 00:49:08,000
department

1216
00:49:11,750 --> 00:49:09,760
that will be an essential part of the

1217
00:49:13,430 --> 00:49:11,760
solution so thank you again

1218
00:49:14,630 --> 00:49:13,440
for the opportunity to join you today i

1219
00:49:16,950 --> 00:49:14,640

creative energies together dan

1224
00:49:26,309 --> 00:49:24,480
um

1225
00:49:27,510 --> 00:49:26,319
one tank of gas

1226
00:49:29,670 --> 00:49:27,520
to mars

1227
00:49:31,910 --> 00:49:29,680
one tank of gas but you're absolutely

1228
00:49:33,750 --> 00:49:31,920
right it's it is

1229
00:49:35,510 --> 00:49:33,760
reliable sustainable

1230
00:49:37,109 --> 00:49:35,520
power is the essential to space

1231
00:49:40,309 --> 00:49:37,119
exploration and

1232
00:49:41,589 --> 00:49:40,319
uh developing new innovations um

1233
00:49:42,710 --> 00:49:41,599
uh is

1234
00:49:45,589 --> 00:49:42,720
uh

1235
00:49:47,750 --> 00:49:45,599
exactly the right place for the

1236
00:49:50,069 --> 00:49:47,760
department of energy although i i will

1237
00:49:51,589 --> 00:49:50,079
tell you with jim bridenstine

1238
00:49:53,109 --> 00:49:51,599
here at the national space council he

1239
00:49:56,950 --> 00:49:53,119
may fight you over

1240
00:49:59,109 --> 00:49:56,960
the department of exploration because

1241
00:50:00,790 --> 00:49:59,119
we may have to give you both an extra e

1242
00:50:03,510 --> 00:50:00,800
in your title

1243
00:50:04,549 --> 00:50:03,520
uh sir i i would i would

1244
00:50:06,069 --> 00:50:04,559

administration

1253
00:50:23,190 --> 00:50:21,599
and the department of energy and

1254
00:50:24,870 --> 00:50:23,200
exploration i think we could perfect

1255
00:50:26,630 --> 00:50:24,880
yeah we could kind of take that to omb

1256
00:50:28,230 --> 00:50:26,640
and see if it works

1257
00:50:29,910 --> 00:50:28,240
yeah yeah

1258
00:50:30,950 --> 00:50:29,920

and uh now we there's been so much

1264
00:50:42,790 --> 00:50:39,680
that's been happening in the area of a

1265
00:50:44,390 --> 00:50:42,800
defense we're pleased to have

1266
00:50:46,790 --> 00:50:44,400

norquist with us who also i want to say

1268
00:50:49,990 --> 00:50:48,559
that he and secretary esper just done a

1269
00:50:51,670 --> 00:50:50,000
remarkable job

1270
00:50:55,190 --> 00:50:51,680
on the president's coronavirus task

1271
00:50:57,030 --> 00:50:55,200
force david we thank you

1272
00:50:59,430 --> 00:50:57,040
we know

1273
00:51:00,790 --> 00:50:59,440
the incredible

1274
00:51:03,109 --> 00:51:00,800
work

1275
00:51:05,349 --> 00:51:03,119
that dod has done implementing the

1276
00:51:07,109 --> 00:51:05,359
president's vision

1277
00:51:09,270 --> 00:51:07,119
for ensuring that america remains as

1278
00:51:11,430 --> 00:51:09,280
dominant in space as we are in earth and

1279
00:51:14,470 --> 00:51:11,440
land and sea i also want to acknowledge

1280
00:51:16,230 --> 00:51:14,480
uh general heightens seminal role

1281
00:51:20,870 --> 00:51:16,240
uh in

1282
00:51:24,150 --> 00:51:23,109
security from space throughout your

1283
00:51:27,430 --> 00:51:24,160
career

1284
00:51:29,030 --> 00:51:27,440
uh and i'm i am uh among the many many

1285
00:51:31,349 --> 00:51:29,040
people who believe that

1286
00:51:33,430 --> 00:51:31,359
um you being a vice chairman of the

1287
00:51:34,710 --> 00:51:33,440
joint chiefs um

1288
00:51:36,549 --> 00:51:34,720
uh

1289
00:51:39,190 --> 00:51:36,559
at such time as this

1290
00:51:41,030 --> 00:51:39,200
in the life of american um security

1291
00:51:43,510 --> 00:51:41,040
leadership in space

1292
00:51:45,750 --> 00:51:43,520
is no accident and so uh general i want

1293
00:51:48,150 --> 00:51:45,760
to thank you uh for your leadership

1294
00:51:49,829 --> 00:51:48,160
as well uh what what's happening uh with

1295
00:51:52,309 --> 00:51:49,839
the rollout of the space force and i

1296
00:51:55,349 --> 00:51:52,319
think i i was actually told that we're

1297
00:51:57,829 --> 00:51:55,359
allowing people to apply to transfer

1298
00:51:59,270 --> 00:51:57,839
can you can you uh articulate that for

1299
00:52:00,790 --> 00:51:59,280
us general maybe if there's a nearby

1300
00:52:03,109 --> 00:52:00,800
microphone

1301
00:52:05,670 --> 00:52:03,119
the number the number of current uh

1302
00:52:07,190 --> 00:52:05,680
airmen who have applied to transfer into

1303
00:52:09,190 --> 00:52:07,200
the space force

1304
00:52:11,589 --> 00:52:09,200
so people are running to apply uh it

1305
00:52:14,230 --> 00:52:11,599
just opened up last week i believe and

1306
00:52:15,589 --> 00:52:14,240
uh we've already had thousands running

1307
00:52:17,910 --> 00:52:15,599
uh the

1308
00:52:19,589 --> 00:52:17,920
interesting i heard the number 2000 in

1309
00:52:21,670 --> 00:52:19,599
like the first few days

1310
00:52:24,150 --> 00:52:21,680
and it was the uh my wife's facebook

1311
00:52:25,990 --> 00:52:24,160
account just blew up with everybody just

1312
00:52:28,150 --> 00:52:26,000
posting sitting in front of a computer

1313
00:52:29,990 --> 00:52:28,160
uh applying to transfer because those

1314
00:52:32,309 --> 00:52:30,000
have been our friends and people we

1315
00:52:34,630 --> 00:52:32,319
worked with our entire lives uh it's

1316
00:52:36,069 --> 00:52:34,640
interesting if you apply as a general

1317
00:52:38,630 --> 00:52:36,079
officer it's uh it's a little more

1318
00:52:40,390 --> 00:52:38,640
complicated

1319
00:52:43,349 --> 00:52:40,400

00:54:19,750 --> 00:54:17,760
opportunity to update the team on some

1366
00:54:21,910 --> 00:54:19,760
of the key space-related activities

1367
00:54:23,190 --> 00:54:21,920
being executed at the department of

1368
00:54:25,270 --> 00:54:23,200
defense

1369
00:54:27,750 --> 00:54:25,280
we've seen significant changes to the

1370
00:54:29,750 --> 00:54:27,760
space domain over recent years

1371
00:54:32,150 --> 00:54:29,760
access to space is no longer limited to

1372
00:54:34,069 --> 00:54:32,160
a few actors today there are over 50

1373
00:54:35,750 --> 00:54:34,079
countries and multinational

1374
00:54:37,990 --> 00:54:35,760
organizations that are operating in

1375
00:54:40,549 --> 00:54:38,000
space and the commercial sector is also

1376
00:54:41,990 --> 00:54:40,559
helping set a new pace for technology

1377
00:54:44,710 --> 00:54:42,000
and innovation

1378
00:54:47,349 --> 00:54:44,720
moreover our strategic competitors have

1379
00:54:49,990 --> 00:54:47,359
made space a warfighting domain

1380
00:54:51,510 --> 00:54:50,000
as secretary esper discussed last week

1381
00:54:53,430 --> 00:54:51,520
we know that our adversaries have

1382
00:54:54,390 --> 00:54:53,440
weaponized space in the last several

1383
00:54:55,910 --> 00:54:54,400
years

1384
00:54:59,109 --> 00:54:55,920
with the establishment of the space

1385
00:55:01,190 --> 00:54:59,119
force and u.s space command the united

1386
00:55:03,349 --> 00:55:01,200
states in cooperation with allies and

1387
00:55:05,750 --> 00:55:03,359
partners will maintain a persistent

1388
00:55:06,789 --> 00:55:05,760
presence in space in order to deter

1389
00:55:09,829 --> 00:55:06,799
aggression

1390
00:55:12,470 --> 00:55:09,839
provide for safe transport transit in

1391
00:55:14,710 --> 00:55:12,480
to and through space and uphold

1392
00:55:17,270 --> 00:55:14,720
internationally accepted standards of

1393
00:55:18,549 --> 00:55:17,280
responsible behavior as a good steward

1394
00:55:19,990 --> 00:55:18,559
of space

1395
00:55:22,549 --> 00:55:20,000
fortunately president trump has

1396
00:55:23,670 --> 00:55:22,559
recognized this and taken decisive

1397
00:55:26,309 --> 00:55:23,680
action

1398
00:55:28,150 --> 00:55:26,319
our national security strategy affirms

1399
00:55:30,549 --> 00:55:28,160
unfettered access to

1400
00:55:32,870 --> 00:55:30,559
and freedom to operate in space is a

1401
00:55:34,789 --> 00:55:32,880
vital national interest

1402
00:55:37,030 --> 00:55:34,799
to support this president trump direct a

1403
00:55:38,950 --> 00:55:37,040
deity to make organizational and

1404
00:55:41,589 --> 00:55:38,960
structural changes to include

1405
00:55:43,030 --> 00:55:41,599
establishing the u.s space force and u.s

1406
00:55:45,430 --> 00:55:43,040
space command

1407
00:55:48,069 --> 00:55:45,440
we are making important progress

1408
00:55:50,710 --> 00:55:48,079
on december 20th 2019 we established the

1409
00:55:53,430 --> 00:55:50,720
space force as the first new branch of

1410
00:55:55,349 --> 00:55:53,440
the armed forces since 1947

1411
00:55:57,829 --> 00:55:55,359
and we are rapidly developing and

1412
00:56:00,470 --> 00:55:57,839
integrating space power doctrine

1413
00:56:02,870 --> 00:56:00,480
capabilities and personnel across the

1414
00:56:04,950 --> 00:56:02,880
joint force vice president pence she

1415
00:56:07,829 --> 00:56:04,960
swore in general raymond as the first

1416
00:56:10,230 --> 00:56:07,839
chief of space operations last january

1417
00:56:11,589 --> 00:56:10,240
16 000 personnel have been assigned to

1418
00:56:13,030 --> 00:56:11,599
the space force

1419
00:56:16,230 --> 00:56:13,040
and initial staff has included

1420
00:56:18,230 --> 00:56:16,240
representation from the air force army

1421
00:56:20,470 --> 00:56:18,240
navy and marine corps

1422
00:56:22,309 --> 00:56:20,480
the space force is growing as the vice

1423
00:56:23,430 --> 00:56:22,319
chairman mentioned we commissioned 86

1424
00:56:25,109 --> 00:56:23,440
officers

1425
00:56:27,190 --> 00:56:25,119
from the air force academy into the

1426
00:56:28,950 --> 00:56:27,200
space force on april 18th

1427
00:56:31,589 --> 00:56:28,960
and the space force is developing its

1428
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:31,599
doctrine and is preparing the first ever

1429
00:56:35,990 --> 00:56:33,440
capstone publication

1430
00:56:38,309 --> 00:56:36,000
on space power doctrine

1431
00:56:39,270 --> 00:56:38,319
separate with complementary to the space

1432
00:56:41,349 --> 00:56:39,280
force

1433
00:56:43,670 --> 00:56:41,359
u.s space command was established on

1434
00:56:46,309 --> 00:56:43,680
august 29 2019

1435
00:56:48,230 --> 00:56:46,319
just nine days after our last national

1436
00:56:50,069 --> 00:56:48,240
space council meeting

1437
00:56:51,829 --> 00:56:50,079
general raymond and the u.s space

1438
00:56:53,589 --> 00:56:51,839
command have made substantial progress

1439
00:56:55,430 --> 00:56:53,599
since its establishment

1440
00:56:57,750 --> 00:56:55,440
space command is updating its plans and

1441
00:57:00,150 --> 00:56:57,760
policies to reflect the new demands of

1442
00:57:02,069 --> 00:57:00,160
the warfighting domain and last week

1443
00:57:04,150 --> 00:57:02,079
finalized its campaign plan

1444
00:57:05,910 --> 00:57:04,160
outlining how we will compete and

1445
00:57:08,069 --> 00:57:05,920
posture the force to win

1446
00:57:09,910 --> 00:57:08,079
against any adversary

1447
00:57:11,750 --> 00:57:09,920
this year we submitted our first ever

1448
00:57:14,870 --> 00:57:11,760
separate budget request for the space

1449
00:57:16,710 --> 00:57:14,880
force as part of the 21st fy 21

1450
00:57:19,589 --> 00:57:16,720
president's budget cycle

1451
00:57:22,069 --> 00:57:19,599
identifying approximately 15.4 billion

1452
00:57:25,349 --> 00:57:22,079
dollars of transfer funds from across

1453
00:57:26,789 --> 00:57:25,359
drd to resource the space force

1454
00:57:28,230 --> 00:57:26,799
we announced the creation of the space

1455
00:57:30,470 --> 00:57:28,240
advisory committee of the defense

1456
00:57:33,510 --> 00:57:30,480
innovation board this subcommittee will

1457
00:57:35,510 --> 00:57:33,520
be a panel of business leaders scholars

1458
00:57:37,109 --> 00:57:35,520
entrepreneurs and technologists to

1459
00:57:39,270 --> 00:57:37,119
provide independent

1460
00:57:41,349 --> 00:57:39,280
external perspective on current

1461
00:57:43,030 --> 00:57:41,359
and future challenges and opportunities

1462
00:57:44,789 --> 00:57:43,040
in space

1463
00:57:46,549 --> 00:57:44,799
even as we implement these vital

1464
00:57:47,990 --> 00:57:46,559
organizational changes

1465
00:57:49,589 --> 00:57:48,000
the number one priority of the

1466
00:57:50,630 --> 00:57:49,599
department of defense's space force

1467
00:57:52,230 --> 00:57:50,640
remains

1468
00:57:55,030 --> 00:57:52,240
mission execution

1469
00:57:57,589 --> 00:57:55,040
providing soldiers sailors airmen and

1470
00:58:00,230 --> 00:57:57,599
marines with the world-class data and

1471
00:58:01,910 --> 00:58:00,240
services from space to ensure they can

1472
00:58:03,510 --> 00:58:01,920
operate confidently

1473
00:58:06,470 --> 00:58:03,520
anywhere in the globe

1474
00:58:07,750 --> 00:58:06,480
maneuver effectively and strike with

1475
00:58:09,670 --> 00:58:07,760
precision

1476
00:58:11,910 --> 00:58:09,680
the result is a holistic approach to

1477
00:58:12,870 --> 00:58:11,920
leadership in space across the u.s

1478
00:58:14,789 --> 00:58:12,880
government

1479
00:58:15,670 --> 00:58:14,799
so our military forces are able to

1480
00:58:17,190 --> 00:58:15,680
ensure

1481
00:58:19,670 --> 00:58:17,200
unfettered access

1482
00:58:21,510 --> 00:58:19,680
and freedom to operate in space

1483
00:58:23,910 --> 00:58:21,520
as we char charge forge with these

1484
00:58:26,069 --> 00:58:23,920
efforts we must simultaneously

1485
00:58:28,630 --> 00:58:26,079
increase public and international

1486
00:58:30,309 --> 00:58:28,640
awareness of the changing character of

1487
00:58:32,870 --> 00:58:30,319
the space domain

1488
00:58:34,870 --> 00:58:32,880
there are many risks from miscalculation

1489
00:58:36,549 --> 00:58:34,880
or misperception in space

1490
00:58:39,109 --> 00:58:36,559
and it is critical to establish

1491
00:58:40,470 --> 00:58:39,119
standards and norms of behavior in the

1492
00:58:42,549 --> 00:58:40,480
space domain

1493
00:58:44,390 --> 00:58:42,559
so think of the international maritime

1494
00:58:46,549 --> 00:58:44,400
rules that were established over

1495
00:58:49,349 --> 00:58:46,559
centuries rules that enabled clear

1496
00:58:51,030 --> 00:58:49,359
identification of irresponsible behavior

1497
00:58:52,470 --> 00:58:51,040
and rules for engagement for

1498
00:58:54,630 --> 00:58:52,480
self-defense

1499
00:58:56,630 --> 00:58:54,640
we must develop the equivalent for space

1500
00:58:59,109 --> 00:58:56,640
and ensure that nations abide by these

1501
00:59:00,230 --> 00:58:59,119
rules much as we do with the maritime

1502
00:59:01,750 --> 00:59:00,240
domain

1503
00:59:03,589 --> 00:59:01,760
to do so we are working hard with the

1504
00:59:05,829 --> 00:59:03,599
department of state as well as our

1505
00:59:08,470 --> 00:59:05,839

some people that have also just been

great allies in implementing the

1565
01:01:19,990 --> 01:01:17,359
president's vision for space leadership

1566
01:01:23,990 --> 01:01:20,000
he is a tight-fisted director of the

1567
01:01:26,390 --> 01:01:24,000
office of management and budget

1568
01:01:28,710 --> 01:01:26,400
as the

1569
01:01:30,950 --> 01:01:28,720
the nasa administrator can personally

1570
01:01:34,549 --> 01:01:30,960
attest

1571
01:01:37,030 --> 01:01:34,559
but has been a great great steward of

1572
01:01:39,430 --> 01:01:37,040
america's taxpayer resources in the last

1573
01:01:42,069 --> 01:01:39,440
budget

1574
01:01:44,549 --> 01:01:42,079
russ vote worked closely with this team

1575
01:01:46,069 --> 01:01:44,559
to end with nasa to

1576
01:01:48,870 --> 01:01:46,079
provide increased funding for human

1577
01:01:51,829 --> 01:01:48,880
space exploration

1578
01:01:54,069 --> 01:01:51,839
and i just like to recognize you for

1579
01:01:56,390 --> 01:01:54,079
a few thoughts about how

1580
01:01:58,549 --> 01:01:56,400
the role that omb continues to play in

1581
01:02:00,309 --> 01:01:58,559
ensuring that we're focusing uh

1582
01:02:02,630 --> 01:02:00,319
those resources on president trump's

1583
01:02:04,230 --> 01:02:02,640
vision for human space exploration thank

1584
01:02:05,510 --> 01:02:04,240
you mr vice president i think one of the

1585
01:02:07,029 --> 01:02:05,520
things that as a result of your

1586
01:02:09,670 --> 01:02:07,039
leadership and the president's

1587
01:02:12,630 --> 01:02:09,680
leadership is that we've never had

1588
01:02:14,309 --> 01:02:12,640
as close a relationship with with nasa

1589
01:02:15,190 --> 01:02:14,319
and with jim

1590
01:02:17,349 --> 01:02:15,200
we

1591
01:02:19,109 --> 01:02:17,359
have early on made it our mission to

1592
01:02:21,510 --> 01:02:19,119
stay linked up and see things through

1593
01:02:23,589 --> 01:02:21,520
each other's eyes so that when a net

1594
01:02:25,510 --> 01:02:23,599
resources is necessary

1595
01:02:27,589 --> 01:02:25,520
we at omb are not dispassionate but have

1596
01:02:30,150 --> 01:02:27,599
a rooting interest in

1597
01:02:32,390 --> 01:02:30,160
both uh securing those resources and

1598
01:02:33,990 --> 01:02:32,400
then as as this week is our first chance

1599
01:02:35,990 --> 01:02:34,000
to really see it

1600
01:02:37,589 --> 01:02:36,000
in motion and so that's why we are very

1601
01:02:40,390 --> 01:02:37,599
excited for next week we wish you the

1602
01:02:43,270 --> 01:02:40,400
best of luck and and all the blessings

1603
01:02:45,589 --> 01:02:43,280
of god as you uh take this critical step

1604
01:02:47,589 --> 01:02:45,599
that is crucial to get us onto the moon

1605
01:02:49,430 --> 01:02:47,599
by 2024 so

1606
01:02:51,190 --> 01:02:49,440
whether it's securing the resources or

1607
01:02:52,789 --> 01:02:51,200
ensuring that your regulations go

1608
01:02:54,870 --> 01:02:52,799
through in a timely manner which we will

1609
01:02:56,710 --> 01:02:54,880
absolutely ensure that we do or

1610
01:02:58,069 --> 01:02:56,720
considering future departments to be

1611
01:03:00,710 --> 01:02:58,079
created for the cabinet of the united

1612
01:03:02,870 --> 01:03:00,720
states uh all of these ideas are things

1613
01:03:04,950 --> 01:03:02,880
that we will continue to to work on but

1614
01:03:06,950 --> 01:03:04,960
it starts from the premise that has been

1615
01:03:07,670 --> 01:03:06,960
laid out by you and the president which

1616
01:03:10,150 --> 01:03:07,680
is

1617
01:03:12,230 --> 01:03:10,160
we are all in and we work as a team and

1618
01:03:14,710 --> 01:03:12,240
we're going to get the job done

1619
01:03:17,349 --> 01:03:14,720
well uh thank you russ and i thank the

1620
01:03:18,710 --> 01:03:17,359
whole team at omb um

1621
01:03:20,789 --> 01:03:18,720
i've never heard the term rooting

1622
01:03:23,109 --> 01:03:20,799
interest

1623
01:03:25,270 --> 01:03:23,119
but it's very descriptive

1624
01:03:27,829 --> 01:03:25,280
and i i know the president is grateful

1625
01:03:30,150 --> 01:03:27,839
for the way that you've worked closely

1626
01:03:32,549 --> 01:03:30,160
uh with the nasa team to find out where

1627
01:03:35,190 --> 01:03:32,559
we can efficiently provide resources to

1628
01:03:36,950 --> 01:03:35,200
implement the president's vision and uh

1629
01:03:38,309 --> 01:03:36,960
we're grateful to your whole team for

1630
01:03:40,230 --> 01:03:38,319
your role in that

1631
01:03:42,230 --> 01:03:40,240
uh i want to recognize a few uh new

1632
01:03:45,349 --> 01:03:42,240
members but i'm going to have

1633
01:03:47,109 --> 01:03:45,359
secretary wolf and ambassador o'brien um

1634
01:03:48,150 --> 01:03:47,119
that clean up on this with their

1635
01:03:49,750 --> 01:03:48,160
thoughts but

1636
01:03:51,430 --> 01:03:49,760
rick grinnell is the acting director of

1637
01:03:53,670 --> 01:03:51,440
national intelligence

1638
01:03:55,510 --> 01:03:53,680
has stepped into that job

1639
01:03:57,109 --> 01:03:55,520
after serving the united states with a

1640
01:03:59,430 --> 01:03:57,119
great distinction

1641
01:04:02,230 --> 01:03:59,440
at a critical outpost in europe as our

1642
01:04:04,710 --> 01:04:02,240
ambassador to germany and but rick i i

1643
01:04:06,470 --> 01:04:04,720
know you are a space enthusiast

1644
01:04:09,670 --> 01:04:06,480
did you have any reflections on what

1645
01:04:11,349 --> 01:04:09,680
you've heard today and particularly what

1646
01:04:13,589 --> 01:04:11,359
from your outposts what you see is the

1647
01:04:15,990 --> 01:04:13,599
significance of america's continued

1648
01:04:19,109 --> 01:04:16,000
investment in space security

1649
01:04:21,190 --> 01:04:19,119
thank you mr vice president

1650
01:04:24,870 --> 01:04:21,200
i'm really honored to be here i'm struck

1651
01:04:27,510 --> 01:04:24,880
with one thing as we listen to everyone

1652
01:04:29,349 --> 01:04:27,520
it's super

1653
01:04:30,150 --> 01:04:29,359
inspiring

1654
01:04:31,990 --> 01:04:30,160
it's

1655
01:04:34,549 --> 01:04:32,000
very exciting

1656
01:04:36,309 --> 01:04:34,559
but i'm also struck with the

1657
01:04:38,230 --> 01:04:36,319
well this is nice to do it's really

1658
01:04:41,750 --> 01:04:38,240
something that we need to do

1659
01:04:43,109 --> 01:04:41,760
you look at the intelligence uh from our

1660
01:04:45,349 --> 01:04:43,119
enemies

1661
01:04:46,710 --> 01:04:45,359
and others across

1662
01:04:49,029 --> 01:04:46,720
the world

1663
01:04:50,710 --> 01:04:49,039
i'm looking every day at iran and russia

1664
01:04:51,589 --> 01:04:50,720
and china what they're trying to do in

1665
01:04:54,150 --> 01:04:51,599
space

1666
01:04:55,589 --> 01:04:54,160
this is not just something that we need

1667
01:04:58,309 --> 01:04:55,599
to do first

1668
01:05:01,029 --> 01:04:58,319
but we need to do it because it will

1669
01:05:02,710 --> 01:05:01,039
ensure safety of not only americans but

1670
01:05:04,710 --> 01:05:02,720
ensure the safety

1671
01:05:08,069 --> 01:05:04,720
of freedom-loving people around the

1672
01:05:10,069 --> 01:05:08,079
world but we see everyday threats that

1673
01:05:11,589 --> 01:05:10,079
are continuing

1674
01:05:13,589 --> 01:05:11,599
in space

1675
01:05:15,029 --> 01:05:13,599
threats to our water and to our

1676
01:05:17,270 --> 01:05:15,039
technology

1677
01:05:20,069 --> 01:05:17,280
and to every

1678
01:05:21,829 --> 01:05:20,079
item that touches a chip

1679
01:05:23,990 --> 01:05:21,839
this is something that we need to do

1680
01:05:26,870 --> 01:05:24,000
it's not just nice to do and as

1681
01:05:28,230 --> 01:05:26,880
inspiring as it is i want to just state

1682
01:05:30,549 --> 01:05:28,240
for the record

1683
01:05:32,309 --> 01:05:30,559
that this group and all the work that's

1684
01:05:34,470 --> 01:05:32,319
gone before me

1685
01:05:37,029 --> 01:05:34,480
is a visionary

1686
01:05:39,270 --> 01:05:37,039
to step out and to do this

1687
01:05:41,430 --> 01:05:39,280
where it seemed i think in the beginning

1688
01:05:43,829 --> 01:05:41,440
something that the public thought was

1689
01:05:47,109 --> 01:05:43,839
just a nice to do

1690
01:05:48,950 --> 01:05:47,119
