[ MUSIC ]

2
00:00:12,011 --> 00:00:14,180
>> I DEFINITELY HAVE HEROES.

3
00:00:14,247 --> 00:00:14,614
MY FIRST HEROES

4
00:00:14,681 --> 00:00:16,316
WOULD BE MY PARENTS.

5
00:00:16,383 --> 00:00:17,150
THEY'VE TAUGHT ME

6
00:00:17,217 --> 00:00:19,252
PERSEVERANCE AND DISCIPLINE.

7
00:00:19,319 --> 00:00:20,353
THEY GAVE ME THAT FOUNDATION

8
00:00:20,420 --> 00:00:22,589
I NEEDED AS A YOUNG WOMAN

9
00:00:22,655 --> 00:00:24,691
TO THEN MOVE FORWARD

10
00:00:24,758 --> 00:00:25,759
AND ACHIEVE MY DREAMS

11
00:00:25,825 --> 00:00:27,260
LATER ON IN LIFE.

12
00:00:27,327 --> 00:00:28,194
I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH

13
00:00:28,261 --> 00:00:29,028
TO GET ACCEPTED TO

14
00:00:29,095 --> 00:00:31,598
THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY.

15
00:00:31,664 --> 00:00:32,465
IT WAS THE SUMMER BEFORE

16
00:00:32,532 --> 00:00:33,967
MY SENIOR YEAR AT THE ACADEMY

17
00:00:34,033 --> 00:00:36,369
THAT I GOT A RIDE IN AN F-18.

18
00:00:36,436 --> 00:00:36,936
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME

19
00:00:37,003 --> 00:00:38,037
THAT I REALIZED,

20
00:00:38,104 --> 00:00:39,305
I CAN BE A MARINE

21
00:00:39,372 --> 00:00:40,173
AND BE A FIGHTER PILOT

22
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,007
AT THE SAME TIME.

23
00:00:41,074 --> 00:00:42,675
THIS IS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS,

24
00:00:42,742 --> 00:00:44,010
COUNT ME IN.

25
00:00:44,077 --> 00:00:45,478
AND SO I WAS, UH, SELECTED

26
00:00:45,545 --> 00:00:47,280
TO GO TO TEST PILOT SCHOOL.

27
00:00:47,347 --> 00:00:48,348
IT WAS DURING THAT TIME

28
00:00:48,415 --> 00:00:49,516
THAT I STARTED LOOKING AT

29
00:00:49,582 --> 00:00:50,950
WHAT ARE MY FUTURE OPTIONS

30
00:00:51,017 --> 00:00:51,818
GONNA BE IN THE MARINE CORPS.

31
00:00:51,885 --> 00:00:53,253
WHAT DO I REALLY WANNA DO?

32
00:00:55,588 --> 00:00:56,790
>> NASA SAYS IT'S ACCEPTING

33
00:00:56,856 --> 00:00:58,525
APPLICATIONS FOR NEW ASTRONAUTS.

34
00:00:58,591 --> 00:00:59,359
>> OF THE ROUGHLY

35
00:00:59,426 --> 00:01:00,960
3,500 APPLICANTS,

36
00:01:01,027 --> 00:01:02,195
NASA IS EXPECTING

37
00:01:02,262 --> 00:01:03,963
ONLY ABOUT 15 WILL BE

38
00:01:04,030 --> 00:01:06,332
SELECTED FOR TRAINING.

39
00:01:06,399 --> 00:01:07,734
>> AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,

40
00:01:07,801 --> 00:01:08,868
WELL, THAT'S CRAZY.

41
00:01:08,935 --> 00:01:10,003
THERE'S NO WAY THAT-THAT

42
00:01:10,069 --> 00:01:11,971
I WOULD EVER BE ACCEPTED

43
00:01:12,038 --> 00:01:14,007
TO BECOME AN ASTRONAUT.

44
00:01:14,073 --> 00:01:14,841
AND I WENT HOME AND I SPOKE

45
00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:15,875
WITH MY HUSBAND ABOUT IT,

46
00:01:15,942 --> 00:01:16,676
AND HE LOOKED AT ME

47
00:01:16,743 --> 00:01:17,911
LIKE I WAS CRAZY.

48
00:01:17,977 --> 00:01:18,311
AND HE SAID, "WHY WOULD

49
00:01:18,378 --> 00:01:19,412
YOU EVER PASS UP SUCH

50
00:01:19,479 --> 00:01:21,047
AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY?

51
00:01:21,114 --> 00:01:21,915
IF YOU NEVER APPLY,

52
00:01:21,981 --> 00:01:22,849
YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KNOW

53
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:24,184
IF YOU COULD MAKE IT

54
00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:25,985
OR IF YOU COULD'VE MADE IT."

55
00:01:26,052 --> 00:01:26,553
THAT REALLY CHANGED

56
00:01:26,619 --> 00:01:28,822
MY PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE.

57
00:01:28,888 --> 00:01:29,856
SO I APPLIED TO

58
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:31,591
BECOME AN ASTRONAUT,

59
00:01:31,658 --> 00:01:32,692
AND I WAS VERY FORTUNATE

60
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:33,326
ENOUGH TO BE SELECTED

61
00:01:33,393 --> 00:01:36,029
IN THE CLASS OF 2013.

62
00:01:36,095 --> 00:01:36,496
I'M THRILLED TO BE

63
00:01:36,563 --> 00:01:37,764
JOINING THE NASA TEAM

64
00:01:37,831 --> 00:01:38,398
AND LOOKING FORWARD TO

65
00:01:38,465 --> 00:01:39,833
THE NEXT TWO YEARS OF TRAINING.

66
00:01:39,899 --> 00:01:40,533
THANK YOU.

67
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,034
AND WE'VE BEEN

68
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:42,435
TRAINING EVER SINCE,

69
00:01:42,502 --> 00:01:43,770
PREPARING TO SUPPORT

70
00:01:43,837 --> 00:01:44,704
CURRENT MISSIONS ONBOARD

71
00:01:44,771 --> 00:01:46,673
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION,

72
00:01:46,739 --> 00:01:47,574
AND NOW WE'RE PREPARING FOR

73
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,175
THE ARTEMIS MISSION.

74
00:01:49,242 --> 00:01:50,276
>> JUST AS THE UNITED STATES

75
00:01:50,343 --> 00:01:51,444
WAS THE FIRST NATION TO REACH

76
00:01:51,511 --> 00:01:53,513
THE MOON IN THE 20TH CENTURY,

77
00:01:53,580 --> 00:01:54,948
SO TOO WILL WE BE

78
00:01:55,014 --> 00:01:56,416
THE FIRST NATION TO RETURN

79
00:01:56,483 --> 00:01:57,550
ASTRONAUTS TO THE MOON

80
00:01:57,617 --> 00:01:59,686
IN THE 21ST CENTURY.

81
00:01:59,752 --> 00:02:00,954
>> ARTEMIS AND OUR MISSION

82
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:01,921
TO THE MOON IS NO LONGER

83
00:02:01,988 --> 00:02:03,756
SOME FAR-FETCHED DREAM

84
00:02:03,823 --> 00:02:06,059
OR SOME SCIENCE FICTION IDEA.

85
00:02:06,125 --> 00:02:07,861
THIS IS REALITY.

86
00:02:07,927 --> 00:02:09,095
WE ARE GOING.

87
00:02:09,162 --> 00:02:09,729
WHAT WE'RE GONNA LEARN

88
00:02:09,796 --> 00:02:11,631
ON THE MOON GOES

89
00:02:11,698 --> 00:02:14,200
BEYOND SPACE EXPLORATION.

90
00:02:14,267 --> 00:02:16,703
IT BENEFITS HUMANS ON EARTH,

91
00:02:16,769 --> 00:02:18,137
IT GIVES ENTHUSIASM

92
00:02:18,204 --> 00:02:20,106
TO OUR YOUNGER GENERATION

93
00:02:20,173 --> 00:02:21,641
TO GO AFTER THEIR DREAMS

94
00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:22,742
AND TO HELP BE A PART
