15
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:32,559
like to begin by congratulating all of

16
00:00:37,510 --> 00:00:34,960
you on launch america the first flight

17
00:00:40,069 --> 00:00:37,520
into orbit of american astronauts on

18
00:00:42,310 --> 00:00:40,079
american rockets from american soil

19
00:00:44,069 --> 00:00:42,320
since 2011.

20
00:00:46,869 --> 00:00:44,079
this past weekend in partnership with

21
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:46,879
spacex nasa successfully launched crew

22
00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:49,840
dragon the first ever commercial crew

23
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:52,640
vehicle with astronauts robert behnken

24
00:00:55,990 --> 00:00:54,399
and douglas hurley to the international

25
00:00:57,830 --> 00:00:56,000
space station

26
00:00:59,990 --> 00:00:57,840
it is truly a pivotal moment in the

27
00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:00,000
development of the space economy and a

28
00:01:05,189 --> 00:01:02,800
new era of private human space flight

29
00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:05,199
for nearly 20 years humans have lived

30
00:01:08,710 --> 00:01:06,720
and worked aboard the international

31
00:01:11,109 --> 00:01:08,720
space station operating and maintaining

32
00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:11,119
the station with resupply and crew

33
00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:13,439
rotations needed regularly

34
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:15,280
nasa's decision to partner with the

35
00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:17,680
commercial industry to provide these

36
00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:20,159
these services enables economic growth

37
00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:22,720
in low earth orbit and make space more

38
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:25,040
accessible than ever before

39
00:01:28,950 --> 00:01:26,880
congratulations again on this new

40
00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:28,960
endeavor it is certainly an exciting

41
00:01:31,830 --> 00:01:29,920
time

42
00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:31,840
nasdaq is honored to celebrate launch

43
00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:33,200
america with you

44
00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:34,799
we look forward to seeing everything

45
00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:37,119
that nasa has in store with your artemis

46
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:39,040
program and sharing many more

47
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:41,360
inspirational milestones in the months

48
00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:42,960
and years ahead

49
00:01:47,429 --> 00:01:44,799
now please join me in welcoming jim

50
00:01:49,830 --> 00:01:47,439
morhard for further remarks

51
00:01:52,149 --> 00:01:49,840
thank you so much adina today you know

52
00:01:53,429 --> 00:01:52,159
we're celebrating a new era in space

53
00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:53,439
exploration

54
00:01:57,190 --> 00:01:55,840
and we're really at the dawn of a new

55
00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:57,200
space age

56
00:02:00,870 --> 00:01:59,360
you know we're expanding the economy in

57
00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:00,880
low earth orbit

58
00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:03,040
there's a growing demand for research on

59
00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:05,280
the international space station and nasa

60
00:02:11,029 --> 00:02:07,920
is working on things like mass producing

61
00:02:12,869 --> 00:02:11,039
retinal implants creating live human

62
00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:12,879
tissue that can't be

63
00:02:18,949 --> 00:02:16,160
constructed in the gravity of earth

64
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:18,959
and developing better fiber optics

65
00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:21,680
that will make it them better and easier

66
00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:23,200
to use

67
00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:25,599
it used to be that nasa developed built

68
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:29,520
launched and operated spacecraft

69
00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:32,480
and now we want the commercial industry

70
00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:35,120
to do just that in low earth orbit we

71
00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:37,120
really want to be one of many customers

72
00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:39,120
in the commercial marketplace

73
00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:40,959
and as we get more customers and

74
00:02:45,990 --> 00:02:44,000
suppliers we're driving down cost and

75
00:02:47,430 --> 00:02:46,000
really increasing innovation that's what

76
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:47,440
we're trying to do

77
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:49,360
to give you an idea really of how

78
00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:51,280
important this launch was

79
00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:52,640
and is

80
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:55,040
once we get a full complement of our

81
00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:56,319
astronauts

82
00:03:00,309 --> 00:02:58,640
up at the international space station

83
00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:00,319
we're going to increase research and

84
00:03:05,190 --> 00:03:03,440
development by 300 percent

85
00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:05,200
ultimately we really hope to have

86
00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:08,080
commercial space stations that this

87
00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:11,200
crude transportation system will come go

88
00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:13,360
to and deliver astronauts

89
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:16,319
like you said it's been nine years since

90
00:03:26,789 --> 00:03:24,470
space center with the leadership of

91
00:03:28,949 --> 00:03:26,799
president trump and the vice president

92
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:28,959
we're going forward to the moon in

93
00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:31,200
preparation to go to mars

94
00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:33,120
and to do so we've got to start with

95
00:03:38,309 --> 00:03:36,159
regular human rated spacecraft flights

96
00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:38,319
from the united states and we also

97
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:39,760
really need to test out on the

98
00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:41,760
international space station

99
00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:42,480
just

100
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:45,440
how safe it is to be up there for long

101
00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:47,120
durations

102
00:03:52,630 --> 00:03:50,560
it it's you know spacex is doing this

103
00:03:55,429 --> 00:03:52,640
demonstration it's really an end-to-end

104
00:03:56,550 --> 00:03:55,439
flight test to make sure all our systems

105
00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:56,560
are working

106
00:04:01,589 --> 00:03:58,640
and that includes the launch getting to

107
00:04:03,270 --> 00:04:01,599
orbit docking now our astronauts are

108
00:04:04,949 --> 00:04:03,280
looking at how

109
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:04,959
the crew dragon and the international

110
00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:07,760
space station work together and we'll be

111
00:04:12,309 --> 00:04:10,080
looking at the undocking and the

112
00:04:13,589 --> 00:04:12,319
re-entry and the splashdown which will

113
00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:13,599
happen off

114
00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:15,680
on the in the atlantic off of florida

115
00:04:20,069 --> 00:04:17,759
you you think about it about it a

116
00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:20,079
majority of americans have never even

117
00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:23,199
seen a splashdown of a space capsule

118
00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:24,240
this is

119
00:04:29,670 --> 00:04:26,639
really the first reusable capsule and

120
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:29,680
the first reusable rocket that has

121
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:31,680
transported astronauts

122
00:04:36,950 --> 00:04:34,240
and no co private company has ever done

123
00:04:39,189 --> 00:04:36,960
that before it's really to me it's an

124
00:04:41,189 --> 00:04:39,199
unprecedented milestone

125
00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:41,199
this is about turning over low earth

126
00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:43,919
orbit to our commercial companies as we

127
00:04:48,550 --> 00:04:47,040
prepare to explore the moon and mars

128
00:04:50,629 --> 00:04:48,560
we've really entered into a

129
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:50,639
transformational era

130
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:52,880
and with the leadership of the president

131
00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:54,880
we're going to transform space so it

132
00:04:58,390 --> 00:04:57,360
remains in our interest and interest of

133
00:05:02,870 --> 00:04:58,400
all

134
00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:02,880
we do it not because

135
00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:04,560
no one else can

136
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:06,240
we do it really to advance the human

137
00:05:10,629 --> 00:05:08,160
condition of all people

138
00:05:12,710 --> 00:05:10,639
and yes we we've got struggles on earth

139
00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:12,720
here but we're going to get through this

140
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:14,400
time in our history

141
00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:15,759
and our hope is that we're going to

142
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:18,320
inspire the next generation to do

143
00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:20,160
stunning achievements

144
00:05:25,430 --> 00:05:22,880
it's how we move forward as a species

145
00:05:26,790 --> 00:05:25,440
but also we hope to instill hope for

146
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:26,800
those who need it

147
00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:30,800
and again unite the nation and the world

148
00:05:35,029 --> 00:05:33,440
now we're happy to join nasdaq today for

149
00:05:36,950 --> 00:05:35,039
your opening bell

150
00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:36,960
and we're joined with bob benkin and

151
00:05:40,230 --> 00:05:39,360
doug hurley who just did that amazing

152
00:05:42,469 --> 00:05:40,240
launch

153
00:05:43,590 --> 00:05:42,479
and then rode that dragon capsule up to

154
00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:43,600
the station

155
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:45,840
and chris cassidy's with us too and he's

156
00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:47,600
the current commander of the

157
00:05:51,270 --> 00:05:49,600
international space station

158
00:05:52,710 --> 00:05:51,280
so dina i think you've got a few

159
00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:52,720
questions for the crew and i'm going to

160
00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:55,360
leave it to you right here great thank

161
00:06:00,070 --> 00:05:57,600
you very much jim

162
00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:00,080
all right well i am i just can't believe

163
00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:02,240
i get to interview um our astronauts

164
00:06:05,830 --> 00:06:03,600
today but uh

165
00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:05,840
robert and douglas you are the first

166
00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:08,720
people to fly crew dragon the idea is

167
00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:10,479
that spaceships like this will enable

168
00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:12,240
people to become private astronauts to

169
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:14,400
make space flight more common what are

170
00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:15,919
your thoughts about making space flight

171
00:06:19,029 --> 00:06:17,520
more common and accessible to private

172
00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:19,039
citizens and the role that you are

173
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:29,590
well it's great to talk to you today um

174
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:31,600
we think that

175
00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:33,600
the more people that get to fly to space

176
00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:35,680
the better off we'll be as a species and

177
00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:37,840
the better off the individuals will be

178
00:06:41,189 --> 00:06:39,120
going forward

179
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:41,199
it's really transformational when you

180
00:06:45,749 --> 00:06:42,960
come into space and look back at our

181
00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:45,759
planet and see how fragile it is and how

182
00:06:51,189 --> 00:06:49,360
thin the atmosphere is it really does

183
00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:51,199
change you for the better and i think

184
00:06:58,150 --> 00:06:53,680
the more people that we expose to this

185
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:00,790
that is truly inspirational so thank you

186
00:07:04,469 --> 00:07:02,800
well chris as the commander of the

187
00:07:06,150 --> 00:07:04,479
international space station this is the

188
00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:06,160
second time you've lived on the space

189
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:08,400
station so what makes the space station

190
00:07:19,749 --> 00:07:17,589
well uh on a technical

191
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:19,759
answer there's so many things that that

192
00:07:23,990 --> 00:07:22,160
are are marvel to me that we are able to

193
00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:24,000
conduct keep an atmosphere going keep

194
00:07:27,830 --> 00:07:25,520
the people safe keep the equipment

195
00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:27,840
running and safe and conduct all this

196
00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:30,560
amazing research but more on a

197
00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:32,560
philosophical level i think it's the

198
00:07:36,469 --> 00:07:34,160
international cooperation and the

199
00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:36,479
partnership that has been forged over

200
00:07:40,629 --> 00:07:38,240
these 20 years

201
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:40,639
that really i find so impressive and

202
00:07:44,629 --> 00:07:42,639
very analogous to the partnership we now

203
00:07:47,589 --> 00:07:44,639
have with the commercial partners as

204
00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:47,599
demonstrated uh just the other day so uh

205
00:07:52,309 --> 00:07:50,800
quite an impressive place to live and be

206
00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:52,319
well that's absolutely wonderful and

207
00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:54,720
what's amazing is that you're it's like

208
00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:55,919
we're talking to you as if you're on

209
00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:58,479
earth but yet you are so far above us

210
00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:00,479
so it's a it's a wonderful wonderful

211
00:08:03,749 --> 00:08:02,080
pleasure and honor to have a chance to

212
00:08:05,589 --> 00:08:03,759
speak with you today i think we're going

213
00:08:14,469 --> 00:08:05,599
to get ready to ring today's opening

214
00:08:14,479 --> 00:08:38,730
so

215
00:08:38,740 --> 00:08:48,230
[Music]

216
00:09:00,920 --> 00:08:51,070
uh

217
00:09:00,930 --> 00:09:11,750
[Music]

218
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:26,230
so

219
00:09:40,970 --> 00:09:28,260
alright

220
00:10:01,740 --> 00:09:58,800
[Music]

221
00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:01,750
all right

222
00:10:29,030 --> 00:10:27,440
we got um we got the opening bell there

223
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:29,040
we are going to hand it over to morgan

224
00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:31,600
brennan uh for a couple of very special

225
00:10:36,069 --> 00:10:34,240
guests morning morgan

226
00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:36,079
good morning carl and thank you we're

227
00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:37,360
going to turn now to the international

228
00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:39,680
space station station this is cnbc how

229
00:10:52,150 --> 00:10:45,030
the international space station has you

230
00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:53,990
great well thank you for joining us this

231
00:10:57,110 --> 00:10:55,519
morning on the heels of bringing that

232
00:10:59,990 --> 00:10:57,120
nasdaq opening bell

233
00:11:01,509 --> 00:11:00,000
historic weekend as bob and doug you

234
00:11:03,190 --> 00:11:01,519
became the first astronaut to launch

235
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:03,200
from american soil in nine years first

236
00:11:06,710 --> 00:11:04,800
to make this journey

237
00:11:09,430 --> 00:11:06,720
via both a commercial rocket and a

238
00:11:12,069 --> 00:11:09,440
commercial spacecraft got to start right

239
00:11:13,990 --> 00:11:12,079
there how was the ride especially given

240
00:11:21,030 --> 00:11:14,000
the fact that you have the space shuttle

241
00:11:25,750 --> 00:11:22,790
well hello morgan thank you for taking

242
00:11:28,069 --> 00:11:25,760
the time to speak with us today our

243
00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:28,079
experience on board dragon was just

244
00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:30,640
really exciting for us both the fueling

245
00:11:33,990 --> 00:11:32,560
event before we lifted off it was uh

246
00:11:35,910 --> 00:11:34,000
different than the space shuttle a

247
00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:35,920
little bit more dynamic a little bit

248
00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:37,839
more exciting for us uh probably a

249
00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:39,360
little bit just a little bit at least

250
00:11:43,110 --> 00:11:41,040
because it was the first time anyone had

251
00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:43,120
done that we

252
00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:45,360
then launched into into space on board

253
00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:47,120
the falcon 9 and

254
00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:48,800
the ride i'll say was a little bit

255
00:11:52,230 --> 00:11:50,880
smoother than our shuttle experience the

256
00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:52,240
shuttle was a little bit rougher at

257
00:11:56,550 --> 00:11:54,000
least at the beginning

258
00:11:58,310 --> 00:11:56,560
later in the flight it did wake us up a

259
00:12:00,710 --> 00:11:58,320
little bit though as we continued all

260
00:12:02,629 --> 00:12:00,720
the way into low earth orbit just really

261
00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:02,639
exciting for both of us uh i know we

262
00:12:08,069 --> 00:12:05,120
were smiling and talking through the

263
00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:08,079
entire uh way uphill so it was just a

264
00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:17,829
that's great and just for our viewers

265
00:12:21,190 --> 00:12:19,200
given the fact we do have a little bit

266
00:12:23,190 --> 00:12:21,200
of a delay keep in mind this is a live

267
00:12:25,110 --> 00:12:23,200
interview it's taking place

268
00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:25,120
with the international space station

269
00:12:30,470 --> 00:12:27,680
which is 250 miles above earth

270
00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:30,480
expedition expedition 63 iss commander

271
00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:32,240
chris cassidy flight engineers bob

272
00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:34,800
banken and doug hurley are with us this

273
00:12:38,710 --> 00:12:35,760
morning

274
00:12:44,949 --> 00:12:38,720
guys major moment in history

275
00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:47,990
well i think for me personally it's

276
00:12:52,389 --> 00:12:49,760
it's a great way to

277
00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:52,399
fly your third time in space

278
00:12:58,150 --> 00:12:56,320
after nine year wait to fly previously

279
00:13:00,389 --> 00:12:58,160
on the last shuttle flight so this is a

280
00:13:02,069 --> 00:13:00,399
good way to kind of bookend it from a

281
00:13:04,949 --> 00:13:02,079
career standpoint

282
00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:04,959
and to fly with two close friends and

283
00:13:09,269 --> 00:13:06,480
get to spend some time on the space

284
00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:09,279
station is just a it's a real icing on

285
00:13:23,509 --> 00:13:21,190
great bob and doug you worked closely

286
00:13:25,750 --> 00:13:23,519
with spacex on design and development of

287
00:13:27,350 --> 00:13:25,760
crew dragon you named it endeavor on

288
00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:27,360
this trip as well

289
00:13:31,590 --> 00:13:29,600
what was the process of that design and

290
00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:31,600
development like and how involved was

291
00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:41,670
well for both doug and i we did spend

292
00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:43,440
quite a bit of time working directly

293
00:13:48,550 --> 00:13:45,760
with the team out in hawthorne

294
00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:48,560
we've of course visited most of spacex's

295
00:13:52,389 --> 00:13:50,560
facilities around the country at

296
00:13:54,550 --> 00:13:52,399
mcgregor texas and then down at the

297
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:54,560
kennedy space center

298
00:14:00,150 --> 00:13:57,680
our experience was was pretty

299
00:14:01,829 --> 00:14:00,160
extensive we were able to get to all the

300
00:14:04,069 --> 00:14:01,839
facilities interface with all the

301
00:14:06,310 --> 00:14:04,079
different aspects of the vehicle

302
00:14:09,509 --> 00:14:06,320
i think doug and i went something like

303
00:14:11,829 --> 00:14:09,519
32 consecutive weeks with travel out to

304
00:14:14,069 --> 00:14:11,839
california to work directly with that

305
00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:14,079
team face to face it really just does

306
00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:16,240
help to be able to see each other

307
00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:18,000
managing that through the pandemic that

308
00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:20,160
we faced was a bit of a challenge but

309
00:14:24,710 --> 00:14:22,480
one that we overcame and the spacex team

310
00:14:27,430 --> 00:14:24,720
did a wonderful job with uh facilitating

311
00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:27,440
that providing a clean environment and

312
00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:30,079
ensuring that we didn't get exposed to

313
00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:32,399
anything that might potentially

314
00:14:37,750 --> 00:14:34,320
impact hardware production or of course

315
00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:37,760
a launch delay i do know that

316
00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:40,399
elon was involved in quite a bit of the

317
00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:42,880
development process i know that many of

318
00:14:45,430 --> 00:14:44,720
the topics that we would discuss would

319
00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:45,440
then

320
00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:46,720
be percolated up through the

321
00:14:51,269 --> 00:14:49,360
organization and he would give the final

322
00:14:53,110 --> 00:14:51,279
approval on many of the aspects of

323
00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:53,120
things that we were trying to get

324
00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:54,800
developed and so

325
00:14:59,670 --> 00:14:57,120
definitely a huge team that pulled

326
00:15:01,990 --> 00:14:59,680
together and spacex just did a wonderful

327
00:15:09,990 --> 00:15:02,000
job with allowing us to be a part of

328
00:15:13,750 --> 00:15:11,509
and chris i'll put this question to you

329
00:15:15,030 --> 00:15:13,760
as we usher in this new era of human

330
00:15:17,430 --> 00:15:15,040
space flight

331
00:15:19,189 --> 00:15:17,440
how close are we really to this

332
00:15:21,829 --> 00:15:19,199
commercialized space reality or the

333
00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:21,839
so-called colonization of space how do

334
00:15:31,910 --> 00:15:29,430
well i i see that the this uh the the

335
00:15:34,389 --> 00:15:31,920
space station eventually will will no

336
00:15:36,629 --> 00:15:34,399
longer be operated by the government i i

337
00:15:38,870 --> 00:15:36,639
i'm not enti entirely privy to all the

338
00:15:41,189 --> 00:15:38,880
details but there there's plans for

339
00:15:42,870 --> 00:15:41,199
after uh the government is done with the

340
00:15:46,230 --> 00:15:42,880
space station perhaps we turn that over

341
00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:46,240
to operating from a commercial entity or

342
00:15:51,189 --> 00:15:48,399
add additional modules that commercial

343
00:15:53,030 --> 00:15:51,199
entities uh provide and and we are

344
00:15:55,509 --> 00:15:53,040
really close technically that's not a

345
00:15:57,749 --> 00:15:55,519
leap far at all it's just a matter of

346
00:16:00,550 --> 00:15:57,759
getting the will getting the um

347
00:16:02,230 --> 00:16:00,560
the demand and uh and when we can make

348
00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:02,240
it happen and that's super exciting

349
00:16:06,230 --> 00:16:04,160
because there's so much capability

350
00:16:09,829 --> 00:16:06,240
that's offered here on the space station

351
00:16:12,150 --> 00:16:09,839
but ultimately uh our destination as

352
00:16:14,389 --> 00:16:12,160
space travelers is mars with a stop at

353
00:16:16,150 --> 00:16:14,399
the moon and uh and the international

354
00:16:18,629 --> 00:16:16,160
space station gives us that core that

355
00:16:20,550 --> 00:16:18,639
bedrock of knowledge that we have to

356
00:16:23,189 --> 00:16:20,560
really fine-tune all of the technical

357
00:16:24,470 --> 00:16:23,199
things we need to do to accomplish those

358
00:16:31,670 --> 00:16:24,480
two larger

359
00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:34,150
whether it's virgin galactic or blue

360
00:16:40,069 --> 00:16:36,880
origin or even the prospective sale of

361
00:16:41,749 --> 00:16:40,079
seats on spacex's crew dragon

362
00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:41,759
what do you think of all the space

363
00:16:45,990 --> 00:16:44,480
tourism efforts that are underway do you

364
00:16:48,310 --> 00:16:46,000
think non-professionals are going to be

365
00:16:49,110 --> 00:16:48,320
able to handle g-force and some of the

366
00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:49,120
other

367
00:16:55,990 --> 00:16:51,040
things that are associated with going to

368
00:17:00,069 --> 00:16:57,910
well each one of us experienced it for

369
00:17:02,069 --> 00:17:00,079
the first time just like hopefully a lot

370
00:17:04,630 --> 00:17:02,079
of other people will get to do going

371
00:17:06,549 --> 00:17:04,640
forward as we privatize the

372
00:17:07,750 --> 00:17:06,559
low earth orbit and suborbital

373
00:17:09,829 --> 00:17:07,760
industries

374
00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:09,839
i i think it's just very much based on

375
00:17:15,189 --> 00:17:11,760
the individual and you know with the

376
00:17:17,029 --> 00:17:15,199
proper instruction and training

377
00:17:18,549 --> 00:17:17,039
those folks will at least understand

378
00:17:20,470 --> 00:17:18,559
what they're going to go through whether

379
00:17:22,069 --> 00:17:20,480
it's a suborbital flight or an actual

380
00:17:23,669 --> 00:17:22,079
trip to the international space station

381
00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:23,679
or low earth orbit

382
00:17:28,230 --> 00:17:26,160
i think managing folks expectations as

383
00:17:30,789 --> 00:17:28,240
they do that is an important part of the

384
00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:30,799
training and then obviously there's the

385
00:17:36,549 --> 00:17:34,000
physical aspects but i think most people

386
00:17:39,110 --> 00:17:36,559
should be able to to physically tolerate

387
00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:39,120
any of those flights and once again as i

388
00:17:42,950 --> 00:17:40,320
said before

389
00:17:50,549 --> 00:17:42,960
just take in what is just an incredible

390
00:17:53,909 --> 00:17:52,070
and finally

391
00:17:56,150 --> 00:17:53,919
given the fact that you do quite

392
00:17:57,750 --> 00:17:56,160
literally have this unique view of the

393
00:17:59,750 --> 00:17:57,760
world right now

394
00:18:01,669 --> 00:17:59,760
orbiting above it

395
00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:01,679
what is the perspective or the insights

396
00:18:04,070 --> 00:18:02,880
that you would want to share with those

397
00:18:05,909 --> 00:18:04,080
of us that are

398
00:18:08,230 --> 00:18:05,919
quite frankly in what's been a difficult

399
00:18:18,150 --> 00:18:08,240
2020 navigating quite a number of

400
00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:20,870
well i i will tell you that the pandemic

401
00:18:25,590 --> 00:18:23,440
challenge for example should give

402
00:18:28,070 --> 00:18:25,600
the entire country and the entire world

403
00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:28,080
an appreciation for really what it's

404
00:18:31,909 --> 00:18:30,080
like to be an astronaut preparing to

405
00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:31,919
launch into space

406
00:18:36,390 --> 00:18:34,320
the quarantine level the

407
00:18:38,710 --> 00:18:36,400
preparation to ensure that you don't

408
00:18:42,470 --> 00:18:38,720
bring anything you don't want all the

409
00:18:44,549 --> 00:18:42,480
way into orbit and infect or pass it on

410
00:18:47,190 --> 00:18:44,559
to your crewmates is something that

411
00:18:49,029 --> 00:18:47,200
we've done for years as astronauts and

412
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:49,039
if you look back in our history of our

413
00:18:53,669 --> 00:18:51,440
space program there was a time when the

414
00:18:56,070 --> 00:18:53,679
astronauts returning from the moon

415
00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:56,080
went into a lockdown in a quarantine

416
00:18:59,750 --> 00:18:58,320
behind the glass to just make sure that

417
00:19:02,070 --> 00:18:59,760
nothing came back with them that we

418
00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:02,080
didn't want to have back on earth and so

419
00:19:07,350 --> 00:19:04,320
i think that what's called the overview

420
00:19:09,590 --> 00:19:07,360
effect that astronauts

421
00:19:11,190 --> 00:19:09,600
typically achieve when they have

422
00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:11,200
accomplished their first space flight

423
00:19:15,430 --> 00:19:13,280
and look back at the earth and realize

424
00:19:18,150 --> 00:19:15,440
that you know there are no boundaries or

425
00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:18,160
borders uh really observable from space

426
00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:20,080
for the most part you see that it's a

427
00:19:24,950 --> 00:19:22,240
single planet with a shared atmosphere

428
00:19:27,909 --> 00:19:24,960
it's our shared place uh in this

429
00:19:29,830 --> 00:19:27,919
universe and so i think that perspective

430
00:19:32,150 --> 00:19:29,840
as we go through things like the the

431
00:19:34,070 --> 00:19:32,160
pandemic or we see the challenges across

432
00:19:36,710 --> 00:19:34,080
our nation or across the world and

433
00:19:38,390 --> 00:19:36,720
recognize that we all face them together

434
00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:38,400
uh hopefully a little bit of the

435
00:19:42,230 --> 00:19:40,400
astronaut experience and a little bit of

436
00:19:43,669 --> 00:19:42,240
that perspective is uh

437
00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:43,679
being shared by the rest of the world

438
00:19:47,590 --> 00:19:45,760
right now we're able to get through it

439
00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:47,600
on the international space station

440
00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:49,360
through cooperation with our

441
00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:50,799
international partners with our

442
00:19:54,950 --> 00:19:52,720
commercial partners of course

443
00:19:57,350 --> 00:19:54,960
and hopefully we can be an inspiration

444
00:20:04,950 --> 00:19:57,360
and an example for what we'd like to see

445
00:20:10,310 --> 00:20:06,630
i think i speak for many people when i

446
00:20:12,070 --> 00:20:10,320
say you are inspiring us right now thank

447
00:20:13,110 --> 00:20:12,080
you so much for your service and your

448
00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:13,120
bravery

449
00:20:16,950 --> 00:20:14,720
may you all have safe journeys back to

450
00:20:19,190 --> 00:20:16,960
earth when that time does come bob
