1
00:00:01,140 --> 00:00:06,799
Are you excited? Very excited.
Yeah, very excited. Are you ready? Feel pumped?

2
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:10,559
Oh yeah, I think we're ready, uh, I think
we're certainly ready.

3
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:16,000
Joining the SpaceX Demo-2 test,
he is a marine corps colonel and test

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,359
pilot he was selected as an astronaut in
2000,

5
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:24,000
he piloted Space Shuttle Endeavour and
Atlantis for STS-135

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,560
the final space shuttle mission.
Introducing NASA astronaut

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:35,600
Doug Hurley.

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,760
It's a life-changing process in so many
ways to fly into space.

9
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:45,840
It's just overwhelming in some some
respects.

10
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:50,320
Just the sensations, the rumbling the
shaking,

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,680
the acceleration.

12
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,039
My name is Doug Hurley and I'm the
Spacecraft Commander for the Demo-2

13
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:02,879
mission to the International Space
Station.

14
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,479
This will be the first time the Dragon
had a crew on board

15
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:18,240
and so there's a a myriad of objectives
we want to achieve for this mission,

16
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,799
what would work on orbit, what might not
work on orbit, what would definitely work.

17
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:27,040
To be able to just have the entire
integrated

18
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,799
team that's going to support us getting
to and from Space Station,

19
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:34,000
it was really neat being part of it. You
know we

20
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,040
are the lucky ones that get to fly it
but we

21
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,320
certainly not for one second take for
granted the

22
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:43,840
amount of effort that so many other
people had to put into this

23
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:49,119
to make it successful. For Doug
personally he's worked so hard i mean

24
00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:54,799
through his entire life
to get to where we are right now. As a

25
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,100
test pilot, this would be the dream to fly a new vehicle.

26
00:01:59,140 --> 00:02:03,280
So it makes me so happy to see that he

27
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,680
gets to be part of this mission the
Spacecraft Commander.

28
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,920
I'm just glad to see his hard work and
his dreams come true for that.

29
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:18,000
It's been a long road in a lot of ways
for not only us but
