00:00:00,125 --> 00:00:04,004
Highlighting the value of NASA
 the next resupply mission to the space

2
00:00:04,004 --> 00:00:07,507
station, and a milestone for the James
 Webb Space Telescope.

3
00:00:07,757 --> 00:00:10,885
A few of the stories
 to tell you about this week at NASA.

4
00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:17,892
During a speech at the 36th Space
 Symposium in Colorado,

5
00:00:17,892 --> 00:00:22,022
our administrator, Bill Nelson,
 discussed the benefits and value of NASA

6
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:26,943
from the economic boost and jobs created
 by endeavors like our Artemis program,

7
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:30,655
which will help prepare us
 for future human exploration of Mars.

8
00:00:31,072 --> 00:00:33,825
Its missions will make new discoveries.

9
00:00:34,242 --> 00:00:36,286
Advance technologies.

10
00:00:36,286 --> 00:00:41,082
And show us how to live
 and to work in another world

11
00:00:41,374 --> 00:00:45,295
to promoting STEM education
 and inspiring younger generations

12
00:00:45,295 --> 00:00:48,214
to continue exploring
 and to build a better future.

13
00:00:48,381 --> 00:00:52,469
One in which groundbreaking missions
 such as our James Webb Space Telescope

14
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:55,972
could help us gain unprecedented knowledge
 about the universe.

15
00:00:56,347 --> 00:01:00,393
Both the administrator also pointed out
 that while we will always

16
00:01:00,393 --> 00:01:03,855
look upward and push
 outward into the unknown,

17
00:01:05,398 --> 00:01:07,484
central to our mission

18
00:01:08,276 --> 00:01:12,572
is protecting this planet,
 which we do by monitoring weather,

19
00:01:12,572 --> 00:01:15,700
natural disasters,
 and climate trends from space

20
00:01:15,909 --> 00:01:19,537
making massive research available
 for industry to create spinoff

21
00:01:19,537 --> 00:01:23,500
technologies, for practical uses on Earth,
 investing in innovative,

22
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:27,629
cutting edge technologies
 and fostering international partnerships

23
00:01:27,629 --> 00:01:31,633
which are vital to the success of future
 human space exploration.

24
00:01:32,217 --> 00:01:37,514
We are a can do people as a nation

25
00:01:38,431 --> 00:01:41,476
and as members of a global society

26
00:01:42,727 --> 00:01:45,355
for America to lead in space

27
00:01:45,438 --> 00:01:48,274
and in turn, to continue
 to lead here on Earth.

28
00:01:49,234 --> 00:01:52,529
It will take all of us working together.

29
00:01:53,238 --> 00:01:57,325
The next SpaceX X Dragon cargo spacecraft
 to the International Space Station

30
00:01:57,325 --> 00:02:00,161
will deliver a variety
 of science investigations,

31
00:02:00,328 --> 00:02:04,833
including a new robotic arm demonstration
 that could potentially be used on Earth

32
00:02:04,833 --> 00:02:09,462
for disaster relief and a study
 to determine if metabolites from grapes,

33
00:02:09,462 --> 00:02:14,843
skins and seeds used in winemaking
 could help prevent and treat osteoporosis.

34
00:02:15,218 --> 00:02:16,177
This is the company's

35
00:02:16,177 --> 00:02:20,140
twenty third commercial resupply services
 mission to the space station for NASA.

36
00:02:20,557 --> 00:02:24,185
Our James Webb Space
 Telescope has completed its final tests,

37
00:02:24,185 --> 00:02:28,064
and preparations are underway
 to ship the observatory to its

38
00:02:28,064 --> 00:02:31,943
launch site in Kourou, French Guiana
 after it launches

39
00:02:31,943 --> 00:02:35,697
where it will take about a month to fly
 to its intended orbital location.

40
00:02:35,738 --> 00:02:38,992
Nearly one million miles away
 from Earth, scientific

41
00:02:38,992 --> 00:02:42,245
operations are expected
 to start about six months after launch.

42
00:02:42,620 --> 00:02:46,416
It will be the world's premiere
 space science observatory when it launches

43
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:50,295
in 2021 and will solve mysteries
 in our solar system

44
00:02:50,461 --> 00:02:54,591
and teach us more about the origins
 of our universe and our place in it.

45
00:02:55,258 --> 00:03:00,388
We named Teams AIR company of Brooklyn,
 New York HAGO Energetics, Inc.

46
00:03:00,388 --> 00:03:04,184
of Thousand Oaks, California,
 and SSwEET from the University

47
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:05,602
of California, Berkeley.

48
00:03:05,602 --> 00:03:08,771
Winners of the agency's
 CO2 conversion challenge.

49
00:03:09,397 --> 00:03:13,484
The contest challenges problem solvers
 to come up with ways to convert

50
00:03:13,484 --> 00:03:18,573
carbon dioxide, a principal element
 in the atmosphere on Mars into sugar,

51
00:03:18,781 --> 00:03:23,745
which astronauts could use to make food,
 medicine, fuel and other useful products.

52
00:03:24,245 --> 00:03:26,706
Learn more about this
 and other opportunities

53
00:03:26,706 --> 00:03:31,002
to provide solutions
 to NASA at NASA.gov/solve.

54
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:34,714
