00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:12,000
town hall i am nasa astronaut nicole

6
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:14,720
mann we are here to discuss the exciting

7
00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:16,320
announcement nasa leadership made this

8
00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:18,320
morning the changes announced this

9
00:01:22,469 --> 00:01:20,240
morning for nasa's human space flight

10
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:22,479
programs will set the agency up for the

11
00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:24,400
next 20 years

12
00:01:28,950 --> 00:01:26,479
on behalf of the astronaut office we are

13
00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:28,960
excited to join you in this announcement

14
00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:31,360
for me personally this is a huge

15
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:33,200
indication of the progress that we've

16
00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:34,000
made

17
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:35,920
not only with increased operations in

18
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:38,159
low earth orbit but the development of

19
00:01:41,429 --> 00:01:40,000
our missions to the moon under the

20
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:41,439
artemis program

21
00:01:45,429 --> 00:01:42,880
now i know we're all excited to hear

22
00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:45,439
guidance from our leadership so without

23
00:01:51,180 --> 00:01:47,520
further ado i'll turn it over to nasa

24
00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:51,190
administrator bill nelson

25
00:01:56,870 --> 00:01:54,240
[Applause]

26
00:02:00,550 --> 00:01:56,880
good afternoon

27
00:02:04,469 --> 00:02:00,560
nessa turned science fiction

28
00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:04,479
into science fact

29
00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:08,959
in science in math and technology

30
00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:12,160
and thank you for your part

31
00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:15,040
of all of this accomplishment and what

32
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:17,680
we endeavor to do as part of the nasa

33
00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:19,840
family

34
00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:22,400
adventurers and explorers reach the

35
00:02:27,589 --> 00:02:24,400
heavens

36
00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:27,599
scientists mathematicians intelligence

37
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:30,640
make a breakthrough discovery and

38
00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:32,080
discoveries

39
00:02:39,830 --> 00:02:35,440
and technological advancements

40
00:02:41,830 --> 00:02:39,840
the nasa family helps humanity every day

41
00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:41,840
in 2010

42
00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:44,640
senator kay bailey hutchinson and i

43
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:49,440
along with the obama biden white house

44
00:02:54,309 --> 00:02:50,800
we chartered

45
00:02:56,630 --> 00:02:54,319
a new path for nasa it was a dual track

46
00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:56,640
approach

47
00:03:02,470 --> 00:02:59,760
nasa would buy services in low earth

48
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:02,480
orbit from commercial companies

49
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:06,000
and set nasa's eyes on exploration

50
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:09,360
farther out into the cosmos

51
00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:12,480
and since then we've seen unprecedented

52
00:03:16,869 --> 00:03:15,120
investment in the low earth orbit

53
00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:16,879
economy

54
00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:18,879
a decade ago

55
00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:21,680
the commercial crew and cargo program

56
00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:24,879
sit so far off but the proof's in the

57
00:03:29,270 --> 00:03:26,239
pudding

58
00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:29,280
just last week we saw the launch

59
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:32,000
of the first all-private mission to

60
00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:33,040
space

61
00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:35,040
and not to mention the incredible

62
00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:38,080
achievements that teams across nasa

63
00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:41,920
have made on our exploration plans

64
00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:43,760
on sls

65
00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:45,200
orion

66
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:46,959
and the exploration

67
00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:49,440
systems

68
00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:54,720
artemis one is nearly ready for launch

69
00:04:01,270 --> 00:03:57,360
teams have been working overtime kennedy

70
00:04:04,309 --> 00:04:01,280
to ensure that mission success

71
00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:04,319
and all this growth has led our human

72
00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:08,000
operations and exploration minister

73
00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:11,680
to grow substantially

74
00:04:16,949 --> 00:04:14,400
our human space flight programs in low

75
00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:16,959
earth orbit and development programs for

76
00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:19,680
deep space exploration

77
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:22,079
all of this counts for nearly half of

78
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:24,960
nasa's entire budget

79
00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:28,320
and so we've gathered here today to

80
00:04:35,110 --> 00:04:31,759
announce a modification

81
00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:35,120
going forward we will reorganize the

82
00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:38,479
agency's human spaceflight programs

83
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:39,840
into two

84
00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:43,360
separate mission directorates

85
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:45,199
effective immediately

86
00:04:51,270 --> 00:04:49,120
we are working to create the exploration

87
00:04:52,390 --> 00:04:51,280
systems development

88
00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:52,400
mission

89
00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:54,960
directorate

90
00:05:00,150 --> 00:04:58,000
uh jordan that expiration missions

91
00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:00,160
directorate and

92
00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:02,720
the space operations

93
00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:05,360
mission directorate

94
00:05:09,990 --> 00:05:06,880
spaceops

95
00:05:12,469 --> 00:05:10,000
will carry out space exploration

96
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:12,479
research technology

97
00:05:17,670 --> 00:05:15,280
demonstrations of that technology

98
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:17,680
space economy development

99
00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:25,749
exploration systems development

100
00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:30,320
will focus on what comes next

101
00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:32,960
both mission directorates

102
00:05:38,310 --> 00:05:35,440
are engineering the future of our moon

103
00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:38,320
to mars exploration approach from

104
00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:40,720
different ends of the space flight

105
00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:43,199
continuum

106
00:05:48,469 --> 00:05:46,000
this reorganization is about the future

107
00:05:50,469 --> 00:05:48,479
of space exploration

108
00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:50,479
it's about setting up

109
00:05:58,150 --> 00:05:56,230
creating two separate mission

110
00:06:00,790 --> 00:05:58,160
directorates

111
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:00,800
ensures these critical areas have

112
00:06:07,029 --> 00:06:03,840
focused oversight

113
00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:07,039
both teams will support and execute for

114
00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:09,520
mission success

115
00:06:16,469 --> 00:06:12,800
and i have great confidence

116
00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:16,479
in kathy leaders and jim free

117
00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:19,440
they are the right people to lead these

118
00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:22,720
new mission directorates

119
00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:25,600
but today is more than an organizational

120
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:27,600
change

121
00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:30,400
it's setting the stage for the next 20

122
00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:32,400
years

123
00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:35,440
it's defining nasa's future

124
00:06:43,029 --> 00:06:39,120
in a growing space economy

125
00:06:47,590 --> 00:06:43,039
it's maintaining leadership in space

126
00:06:51,749 --> 00:06:47,600
that it's a top priority for our agency

127
00:06:57,029 --> 00:06:55,189
this is how we lead

128
00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:57,039
we evolve

129
00:07:02,870 --> 00:06:59,680
by how we work

130
00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:02,880
we carry out our missions here on earth

131
00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:05,280
in low earth orbit

132
00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:07,120
at the moon

133
00:07:11,589 --> 00:07:08,960
at mars

134
00:07:15,029 --> 00:07:11,599
and beyond

135
00:07:17,830 --> 00:07:15,039
today nasa is the world's premier space

136
00:07:20,230 --> 00:07:17,840
agency there's no doubt about it let us

137
00:07:22,629 --> 00:07:20,240
strengthen it

138
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:22,639
let us ensure the next generation of

139
00:07:26,710 --> 00:07:25,440
trailblazers and pioneers

140
00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:26,720
inherit

141
00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:34,469
the future is there

142
00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:35,919
it's for us

143
00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:38,240
to grasp

144
00:07:44,309 --> 00:07:41,440
onward and upward

145
00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:44,319
and i thank you for joining us in this

146
00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:46,160
town hall meeting

147
00:07:53,589 --> 00:07:48,800
i want to hand it over

148
00:07:57,980 --> 00:07:53,599
to a great deputy administrator

149
00:08:03,270 --> 00:07:57,990
shuttle commander pam melroy

150
00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:03,280
[Applause]

151
00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:05,360
thank you sir

152
00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:07,520
i want to underscore that this decision

153
00:08:12,469 --> 00:08:10,080
reflection of the incredible impact the

154
00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:12,479
nasa workforce has had over the past

155
00:08:16,390 --> 00:08:13,759
decade

156
00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:16,400
as the administrator described

157
00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:18,720
nasa has been wildly successful in

158
00:08:23,909 --> 00:08:21,840
stimulating a commercial space economy

159
00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:23,919
and much like a company that's growing

160
00:08:29,749 --> 00:08:27,280
in budget scope and vision

161
00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:29,759
we must adapt and restructure

162
00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:31,840
to facilitate and accommodate that

163
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:34,000
growth

164
00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:36,880
for decades nasa had one human space

165
00:08:41,110 --> 00:08:39,599
flight program the space shuttle

166
00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:41,120
and we had two

167
00:08:45,509 --> 00:08:43,360
we built the space station and handed

168
00:08:48,389 --> 00:08:45,519
over to that

169
00:08:50,389 --> 00:08:48,399
now we're developing a train of

170
00:08:53,750 --> 00:08:50,399
technological innovation

171
00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:53,760
that stretches all the way to mars

172
00:08:57,750 --> 00:08:55,600
we already have multiple projects

173
00:09:00,630 --> 00:08:57,760
underway that support arms

174
00:09:03,670 --> 00:09:00,640
sls orion egs

175
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:03,680
gateway next generation suits and then

176
00:09:09,190 --> 00:09:05,920
the human lander system

177
00:09:12,230 --> 00:09:09,200
and coming we have more programs leading

178
00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:12,240
to a sustained presence on the moon and

179
00:09:17,670 --> 00:09:15,760
mars that will require development

180
00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:17,680
the exploration systems development

181
00:09:23,190 --> 00:09:20,160
directorate will own that architecture

182
00:09:26,389 --> 00:09:23,200
for moon to mars and be responsible for

183
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:26,399
the systems development portion of each

184
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:29,760
capability of that architecture

185
00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:33,040
space operations will focus on the safe

186
00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:34,320
operation

187
00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:36,959
of our current leo systems

188
00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:39,040
and future systems

189
00:09:44,230 --> 00:09:41,920
as they complete developmental test and

190
00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:44,240
evaluation

191
00:09:47,829 --> 00:09:46,320
that includes completing commercial crew

192
00:09:50,870 --> 00:09:47,839
certification

193
00:09:54,550 --> 00:09:50,880
the commercialization of leo supporting

194
00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:54,560
the eventual commercial follow-on to iss

195
00:09:59,190 --> 00:09:55,839
and of course

196
00:10:01,190 --> 00:09:59,200
supporting exploration operations

197
00:10:03,030 --> 00:10:01,200
the restructuring of nasa's human

198

exploration

215
00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:43,680
is that next big goal

216
00:10:47,509 --> 00:10:45,040
this decision

217
00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:47,519
and reorganization will step up for the

218
00:10:52,150 --> 00:10:50,560
next 20 years and beyond

219
00:10:53,990 --> 00:10:52,160
in the past decade we've seen what

220
00:10:55,269 --> 00:10:54,000
happens when nasa sets the vision for

221
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:55,279

and pam and bob for the opportunity and

341
00:15:26,629 --> 00:15:23,199
i'd like to recognize kathy for all

342
00:15:29,110 --> 00:15:26,639
she's done uh in her time here in hilo

00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:29,120
uh it has truly been amazing so thank

344
00:15:32,629 --> 00:15:30,720
you for that kathy

345
00:15:35,030 --> 00:15:32,639
um as as all of you know i'm sure

346
00:15:36,389 --> 00:15:35,040
there's a lot of questions um first i

347
00:15:38,389 --> 00:15:36,399
want to make sure everyone knows we

348
00:15:40,949 --> 00:15:38,399
start with our artemis missions that we

349
00:15:43,189 --> 00:15:40,959
have today artemis one artemis two that

350
00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:43,199
are in the pipeline or miss three

351
00:15:46,629 --> 00:15:44,720
not far behind

352
00:15:48,870 --> 00:15:46,639
um that's our focus that's our

353
00:15:51,030 --> 00:15:48,880
responsibility so while we talk about

354
00:15:52,949 --> 00:15:51,040
developing things for the out years our

355
00:15:55,189 --> 00:15:52,959
our focus is near term in executing

356
00:15:57,749 --> 00:15:55,199
those missions but at the same time we

357
00:15:59,910 --> 00:15:57,759
now have the opportunity to continue

358
00:16:01,749 --> 00:15:59,920
refining and defining achievable

359
00:16:04,790 --> 00:16:01,759
long-term plans both for the lunar

360
00:16:06,310 --> 00:16:04,800
surface and for mars

361
00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:06,320
what we also have

362
00:16:10,710 --> 00:16:08,480
in the exploration systems development

363
00:16:13,110 --> 00:16:10,720
organization is an opportunity

364
00:16:15,110 --> 00:16:13,120
to take our approach to development a

365
00:16:18,069 --> 00:16:15,120
little bit differently we can hand it

366
00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:18,079
over to operations finish development

367
00:16:22,310 --> 00:16:19,920
hand it over to operations it doesn't

368
00:16:25,509 --> 00:16:22,320
mean it's operational but once we hand

369
00:16:28,230 --> 00:16:25,519
it off then we can move on to our our

370
00:16:30,550 --> 00:16:28,240
next thing our next development

371
00:16:33,189 --> 00:16:30,560
but what's core to this and and having

372
00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:33,199
been at the agency and honestly uh found

373
00:16:38,150 --> 00:16:35,920
when i left the agency how much i missed

374
00:16:39,670 --> 00:16:38,160
the people and it's all about the people

375
00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:39,680
and the people that make it work every

376
00:16:43,910 --> 00:16:41,920
day both in our nasa workforce and in

377
00:16:46,150 --> 00:16:43,920
our contractor workforce

378
00:16:48,150 --> 00:16:46,160
those people you will all be involved

379
00:16:50,310 --> 00:16:48,160
including our stakeholders

380
00:16:52,550 --> 00:16:50,320
and also centered central to that are

381
00:16:55,590 --> 00:16:52,560
international commercial partners as

382
00:16:58,710 --> 00:16:55,600
well that will remain a part of all

383
00:17:01,030 --> 00:16:58,720
future architecture that we develop

384
00:17:03,269 --> 00:17:01,040
so again i'd like to thank all of you

385
00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:03,279
for the opportunity for my family for

386
00:17:08,430 --> 00:17:05,199
allowing me to do this as well

387
00:17:14,390 --> 00:17:08,440
and let me turn it over kathy

388
00:17:17,669 --> 00:17:14,400
[Applause]

389
00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:17,679
wow what an exciting time you know

390
00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:20,160
other day i think somebody said this is

391
00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:22,160
going to be so great you're the dynamic

392
00:17:26,230 --> 00:17:24,160
duo so um

393
00:17:28,390 --> 00:17:26,240
i don't know which one of us is a batman

394
00:17:29,990 --> 00:17:28,400
and one's robin i have a feeling every

395
00:17:31,990 --> 00:17:30,000
once in a while will be switching back

396
00:17:33,909 --> 00:17:32,000
and forth but

397
00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:33,919
what that does convey to everybody is

398
00:17:37,909 --> 00:17:35,280
we're a team

399
00:17:38,789 --> 00:17:37,919
and it's going to take us together

400
00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:38,799
to go

401
00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:41,280
do all the things that bill and bob and

402
00:17:45,510 --> 00:17:43,520
pam are giving us to go do and to go

403
00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:45,520
make it happen

404
00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:47,440
jim talked about the importance keeping

405
00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:50,320
artemis 1 2 and 3 on track this is also

406
00:17:56,630 --> 00:17:54,080
about keeping us flying every day 365

407
00:17:59,750 --> 00:17:56,640
days a year on station and continue to

408
00:18:02,549 --> 00:17:59,760
expand that capability to do the most

409
00:18:04,390 --> 00:18:02,559
amazing things that we can do and

410
00:18:06,390 --> 00:18:04,400
have us create a commercial leo

411
00:18:07,510 --> 00:18:06,400
destination platform that we can

412
00:18:09,830 --> 00:18:07,520
continue

413
00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:09,840
to have and check out all the systems

414
00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:12,880
we're going to need to to have to be

415
00:18:17,750 --> 00:18:15,360
and maintain a sustainable operations

416
00:18:19,830 --> 00:18:17,760
around the moon so

417
00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:19,840
i can't tell jim how excited i am to

418
00:18:24,150 --> 00:18:22,320
start seeing these things coming over

419
00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:24,160
i can't tell you how excited i am to

420
00:18:27,669 --> 00:18:26,160
have a partner here

421
00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:27,679
i keep thinking two heads are better

422
00:18:32,390 --> 00:18:30,240
than one and and uh this is going to be

423
00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:32,400
a lot of fun and um

424
00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:34,400
as he and i have said you know we're

425
00:18:37,990 --> 00:18:36,080
here for our team

426
00:18:39,510 --> 00:18:38,000
uh there will be a transition and we

427
00:18:41,510 --> 00:18:39,520
know and sometimes it'll be hard but

428
00:18:44,070 --> 00:18:41,520
we're here for you we want to hear from

429
00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:44,080
you and we're going to be there for you

430
00:18:47,110 --> 00:18:45,120
to make us

431
00:18:49,909 --> 00:18:47,120
work through this transition and keep

432
00:18:52,310 --> 00:18:49,919
going on the tasks that bob and pam and

433
00:18:58,950 --> 00:18:52,320
bill are giving us to go do thank you

434
00:19:02,630 --> 00:19:00,710
thank you kathy and to all of our

435
00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:02,640
leadership now we'll move on to the

436
00:19:06,630 --> 00:19:04,880
question and answer session as a

437
00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:06,640
reminder we've collected questions in

438
00:19:11,350 --> 00:19:09,120
advance from the workforce so thank you

439
00:19:13,990 --> 00:19:11,360
to all who have submitted questions

440
00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:14,000
and the first question for pam

441
00:19:16,710 --> 00:19:15,520
while we've been preparing for this

442
00:19:18,630 --> 00:19:16,720
announcement

443
00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:18,640
we know one of the top questions on

444
00:19:26,789 --> 00:19:21,919
everyone's mind is why now

445
00:19:31,190 --> 00:19:29,190
so there's a lot of different reasons

446
00:19:33,270 --> 00:19:31,200
why the answer is now

447
00:19:36,710 --> 00:19:33,280
i'll try to pick the ones that i think

448
00:19:41,750 --> 00:19:38,870
the last decade

449
00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:41,760
has seen extraordinary change and growth

450
00:19:45,590 --> 00:19:42,480
the

451
00:19:48,549 --> 00:19:45,600
impact that nasa has had on commercial

452
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:48,559
space has created new capabilities that

453
00:19:53,110 --> 00:19:51,200
we didn't even know we could rely on but

454
00:19:55,750 --> 00:19:53,120
they're going to help us

455
00:19:56,789 --> 00:19:55,760
tremendously as we go out into the solar

456
00:19:58,630 --> 00:19:56,799
system

457
00:20:00,630 --> 00:19:58,640
the other thing is there's been a lot of

458
00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:00,640
work put together to develop the

459
00:20:05,190 --> 00:20:03,120
capabilities that come with sls

460
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:05,200
orion and egs

461
00:20:10,230 --> 00:20:07,520
and the work that has started for the

462
00:20:12,710 --> 00:20:10,240
next sets of development

463
00:20:15,029 --> 00:20:12,720
this is exactly the time for us to take

464
00:20:17,669 --> 00:20:15,039
a deep breath and say

465
00:20:20,149 --> 00:20:17,679
wow we have a chain of development

466
00:20:21,510 --> 00:20:20,159
programs no longer just one monolithic

467
00:20:24,870 --> 00:20:21,520
program

468
00:20:27,590 --> 00:20:24,880
how are we going to manage this huge

469
00:20:31,029 --> 00:20:27,600
change in scope as we prepare to fly

470
00:20:33,430 --> 00:20:31,039
artemis one this is a really good time

471
00:20:36,630 --> 00:20:33,440
to take this step i think we've learned

472
00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:36,640
a lot in the last decade and the future

473
00:20:42,710 --> 00:20:40,320
is starting to emerge much more clearly

474
00:20:43,830 --> 00:20:42,720
this is uh a change i think that's going

475
00:20:46,390 --> 00:20:43,840
to help us

476
00:20:51,430 --> 00:20:46,400
manage this growth and scope as we step

477
00:20:53,990 --> 00:20:52,390
thank you

478
00:20:55,830 --> 00:20:54,000
and this question is for mr

479
00:20:58,149 --> 00:20:55,840
administrator

480
00:21:00,470 --> 00:20:58,159
how will the agency ensure that moving

481
00:21:03,350 --> 00:21:00,480
forward all parts of the agency's

482
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:03,360
missions including earth sciences and

483
00:21:07,909 --> 00:21:05,440
aeronautics research do not get left by

484
00:21:10,630 --> 00:21:07,919
the wayside

485
00:21:11,830 --> 00:21:10,640
because we're committed to nasa's

486
00:21:13,590 --> 00:21:11,840
total

487
00:21:14,830 --> 00:21:13,600
mission

488
00:21:20,710 --> 00:21:14,840
national

489
00:21:27,029 --> 00:21:22,870
why in the world would you

490
00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:27,039
leave something behind say in science

491
00:21:31,190 --> 00:21:28,799
look how the

492
00:21:32,390 --> 00:21:31,200
american people have gotten so charged

493
00:21:34,789 --> 00:21:32,400
up

494
00:21:36,470 --> 00:21:34,799
as a result of perseverance and now the

495
00:21:37,750 --> 00:21:36,480
little helicopter

496
00:21:40,149 --> 00:21:37,760
that's serving

497
00:21:42,789 --> 00:21:40,159
far beyond its design life

498
00:21:44,549 --> 00:21:42,799
and now is a rover

499
00:21:47,270 --> 00:21:44,559
a scout

500
00:21:49,510 --> 00:21:47,280
uh instead of just being a technology

501
00:21:51,590 --> 00:21:49,520
demonstration

502
00:21:53,830 --> 00:21:51,600
and i could go on and on

503
00:21:56,310 --> 00:21:53,840
uh in 23

504
00:21:59,590 --> 00:21:56,320
we have a uh

505
00:22:01,909 --> 00:21:59,600
a system launched on on a falcon heavy

506
00:22:03,750 --> 00:22:01,919
it's called viper it's going to the

507
00:22:05,669 --> 00:22:03,760
south pole

508
00:22:08,390 --> 00:22:05,679
it's going to land

509
00:22:11,510 --> 00:22:08,400
by the edge of a big crater there which

510
00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:11,520
we think has a lot of geological promise

511
00:22:15,830 --> 00:22:12,799
and

512
00:22:18,310 --> 00:22:15,840
it's looking for water

513
00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:18,320
because where there's water

514
00:22:23,190 --> 00:22:20,080
there's fuel

515
00:22:25,830 --> 00:22:23,200
and that could well be a gas station for

516
00:22:28,549 --> 00:22:25,840
us in the future for future missions

517
00:22:30,390 --> 00:22:28,559
including the one mars

518
00:22:32,710 --> 00:22:30,400
and that's another part of science don't

519
00:22:35,430 --> 00:22:32,720
forget the planetary science

520
00:22:37,270 --> 00:22:35,440
look what we are doing we're going back

521
00:22:39,110 --> 00:22:37,280
after 30 years

522
00:22:41,350 --> 00:22:39,120
to venus

523
00:22:43,350 --> 00:22:41,360
look what we're doing on december the

524
00:22:45,510 --> 00:22:43,360
17th

525
00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:45,520
we're launching a telescope that's going

526
00:22:51,190 --> 00:22:48,960
to be a million miles

527
00:22:54,310 --> 00:22:51,200
on the side of the earth away from the

528
00:22:55,909 --> 00:22:54,320
sun and it's going to look out into the

529
00:22:58,710 --> 00:22:55,919
heavens not

530
00:23:02,070 --> 00:22:58,720
like hubble looking at the array of the

531
00:23:04,230 --> 00:23:02,080
sky it's going to look through a keyhole

532
00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:04,240
and it's going to peer back

533
00:23:10,149 --> 00:23:06,000
over 13

534
00:23:12,070 --> 00:23:10,159
billion years of light

535
00:23:14,950 --> 00:23:12,080
it's going to look back to the light at

536
00:23:18,470 --> 00:23:14,960
the time shortly after the big bang at

537
00:23:20,789 --> 00:23:18,480
the formation of the first galaxies

538
00:23:24,390 --> 00:23:20,799
and of course i've only scratched the

539
00:23:27,350 --> 00:23:24,400
surface as to

540
00:23:30,070 --> 00:23:27,360
all the other programs

541
00:23:33,190 --> 00:23:30,080
i mentioned aeronautics pam and i are

542
00:23:34,789 --> 00:23:33,200
going out and see this needle-nosed

543
00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:34,799
x-59

544
00:23:40,549 --> 00:23:38,720
that's still at the skunk works

545
00:23:43,430 --> 00:23:40,559
that's going to

546
00:23:47,430 --> 00:23:43,440
open up commercial air travel where we

547
00:23:51,269 --> 00:23:47,440
can fly in half the time from distance

548
00:23:53,029 --> 00:23:51,279
a to distance b and we can fly over

549
00:23:56,950 --> 00:23:53,039
populated areas because it's going to be

550
00:24:03,350 --> 00:24:00,310
why would we sacrifice all that

551
00:24:05,830 --> 00:24:03,360
we don't want to we're not

552
00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:05,840
we can do all these things together and

553
00:24:10,470 --> 00:24:08,400
by the way let me remind you

554
00:24:11,990 --> 00:24:10,480
this is compared to other federal

555
00:24:15,430 --> 00:24:12,000
agencies

556
00:24:20,070 --> 00:24:15,440
this is a little agency

557
00:24:22,149 --> 00:24:20,080
about a 25 billion dollar agency

558
00:24:24,870 --> 00:24:22,159
but oh by the way

559
00:24:27,350 --> 00:24:24,880
it's a can-do agency

560
00:24:29,590 --> 00:24:27,360
and it keeps getting voted for the last

561
00:24:30,830 --> 00:24:29,600
nine years as the best place to work in

562
00:24:33,510 --> 00:24:30,840
the federal

563
00:24:35,990 --> 00:24:33,520
government and because we're a can-do

564
00:24:38,070 --> 00:24:36,000
agency we're going to do all of the

565
00:24:40,390 --> 00:24:38,080
above

566
00:24:42,310 --> 00:24:40,400
and we're going to make it happen and we

567
00:24:45,269 --> 00:24:42,320
are now

568
00:24:47,269 --> 00:24:45,279
as we stand on as we stand on the

569
00:24:50,230 --> 00:24:47,279
shoulders

570
00:24:53,029 --> 00:24:50,240
of the apollo generation

571
00:24:56,070 --> 00:24:53,039
we are going to lift up

572
00:24:59,350 --> 00:24:56,080
the artemis generation

573
00:25:04,789 --> 00:24:59,360
as we go back to the moon

574
00:25:08,789 --> 00:25:06,710
wow that's a lot if it doesn't get you

575
00:25:11,190 --> 00:25:08,799
excited i don't know what does

576
00:25:13,669 --> 00:25:11,200
this next question is for jim and it's

577
00:25:15,750 --> 00:25:13,679
got a couple of follow-on parts to it

578
00:25:17,590 --> 00:25:15,760
what initiatives will we pursue to

579
00:25:19,590 --> 00:25:17,600
ensure that the exploration mission

580
00:25:21,269 --> 00:25:19,600
directorate is on the cutting edge of

581
00:25:23,909 --> 00:25:21,279
technology development

582
00:25:25,269 --> 00:25:23,919
and helps nasa retain the identity as

583
00:25:27,990 --> 00:25:25,279
explorers

584
00:25:29,350 --> 00:25:28,000
will support have allow civil servants

585
00:25:32,149 --> 00:25:29,360
to hold a percentage of their

586
00:25:34,390 --> 00:25:32,159
intellectual property on technology that

587
00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:34,400
they develop in order to retain high

588
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:35,520
performers

589
00:25:41,110 --> 00:25:37,440
will it also support an alternative

590
00:25:42,789 --> 00:25:41,120
funding structure that allows some

591
00:25:43,830 --> 00:25:42,799
okay about day two

592
00:25:44,789 --> 00:25:43,840
okay

593
00:25:48,630 --> 00:25:44,799
uh

594
00:25:51,990 --> 00:25:48,640
question

595
00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:52,000
it's um staying connected to stmd

596
00:25:55,590 --> 00:25:53,520
i think we we

597
00:25:57,750 --> 00:25:55,600
we have to do that right that's stmd's

598
00:25:59,669 --> 00:25:57,760
purpose is to continue that pipeline of

599
00:26:01,750 --> 00:25:59,679
technology development

600
00:26:02,630 --> 00:26:01,760
certainly we'll continue our development

601
00:26:04,390 --> 00:26:02,640
of

602
00:26:06,470 --> 00:26:04,400
how to help people

603
00:26:08,630 --> 00:26:06,480
live in space how to make systems work

604
00:26:09,750 --> 00:26:08,640
better in space that's ongoing today on

605
00:26:11,990 --> 00:26:09,760
iss

606
00:26:13,909 --> 00:26:12,000
so i think to me that's the the pipeline

607
00:26:16,070 --> 00:26:13,919
that keeps it going of course we'll on

608
00:26:17,350 --> 00:26:16,080
our missions continue to advance things

609
00:26:20,149 --> 00:26:17,360
there's there's

610
00:26:22,630 --> 00:26:20,159
no flying artemis one that'll do that as

611
00:26:24,789 --> 00:26:22,640
far as the employees keeping ip and and

612
00:26:27,190 --> 00:26:24,799
maybe this is my dated center director

613
00:26:28,950 --> 00:26:27,200
uh time here the employees still have

614
00:26:31,110 --> 00:26:28,960
the opportunity to

615
00:26:33,669 --> 00:26:31,120
to be on the patents to get the

616
00:26:36,630 --> 00:26:33,679
royalties for the for the long haul

617
00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:36,640
um so that that and again day two i

618
00:26:40,390 --> 00:26:38,400
don't think that's changed but

619
00:26:45,430 --> 00:26:40,400
that that to me is their their

620
00:26:49,590 --> 00:26:47,110
yes i don't think it's fair to put all

621
00:26:51,669 --> 00:26:49,600
of that on jim

622
00:26:54,310 --> 00:26:51,679
and i just want to say you know this is

623
00:26:56,470 --> 00:26:54,320
something we're looking at is uh how do

624
00:26:58,310 --> 00:26:56,480
we compensate our civil servants what is

625
00:26:59,990 --> 00:26:58,320
the role of the servant in the future

626
00:27:03,350 --> 00:27:00,000
how are we structured as we move into

627
00:27:05,830 --> 00:27:03,360
the future and uh we're working on that

628
00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:05,840
actively to ensure that we retain the

629
00:27:10,310 --> 00:27:08,720
best people and folks need to get credit

630
00:27:13,350 --> 00:27:10,320
for what they do but this is something

631
00:27:15,909 --> 00:27:13,360
that we'll work through together and

632
00:27:18,389 --> 00:27:15,919
we have an awesome uh human capital

633
00:27:23,190 --> 00:27:18,399
organization that will help us get to

634
00:27:26,149 --> 00:27:24,950
thank you and this next question is for

635
00:27:34,230 --> 00:27:26,159
kathy

636
00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:35,669
so we're really trying to create

637
00:27:40,470 --> 00:27:37,760
opportunity you know one of the things

638
00:27:44,630 --> 00:27:40,480
we're beginning to work on is and and

639
00:27:47,669 --> 00:27:44,640
actually got over 10 proposals for a new

640
00:27:50,549 --> 00:27:47,679
uh commercial leo destination potential

641
00:27:51,590 --> 00:27:50,559
you know we've learned is

642
00:27:53,830 --> 00:27:51,600
after

643
00:27:55,990 --> 00:27:53,840
obviously we're working on extending iss

644
00:27:57,669 --> 00:27:56,000
to 2030

645
00:27:59,190 --> 00:27:57,679
but but

646
00:28:01,909 --> 00:27:59,200
one of the primary reasons for the

647
00:28:03,510 --> 00:28:01,919
extension was to give us time to be able

648
00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:03,520
to

649
00:28:10,230 --> 00:28:06,799
establish

650
00:28:12,630 --> 00:28:10,240
a low earth orbit destination that is it

651
00:28:15,430 --> 00:28:12,640
will enable us to continue to test the

652
00:28:17,830 --> 00:28:15,440
systems that jim will be developing

653
00:28:21,990 --> 00:28:17,840
so that we can there's another place

654
00:28:24,310 --> 00:28:22,000
that can do 365 days a year and then be

655
00:28:26,310 --> 00:28:24,320
able to take you from you know this

656
00:28:29,190 --> 00:28:26,320
microgravity environment from a human

657
00:28:31,830 --> 00:28:29,200
perspective to a different gravity field

658
00:28:33,269 --> 00:28:31,840
here on earth and be able to really test

659
00:28:34,630 --> 00:28:33,279
those physical

660
00:28:37,190 --> 00:28:34,640
you know

661
00:28:38,950 --> 00:28:37,200
protocols that will need to develop to

662
00:28:40,389 --> 00:28:38,960
be able to go to mars

663
00:28:42,630 --> 00:28:40,399
and so

664
00:28:45,830 --> 00:28:42,640
you know one of our goals and pam talks

665
00:28:48,149 --> 00:28:45,840
about this is to continue to

666
00:28:51,350 --> 00:28:48,159
let industry know here are the things we

667
00:28:52,789 --> 00:28:51,360
need so that that they can be coming up

668
00:28:54,870 --> 00:28:52,799
with unique

669
00:28:57,510 --> 00:28:54,880
ways to be able to meet those needs and

670
00:28:59,110 --> 00:28:57,520
at the same time furthering our goals

671
00:29:01,350 --> 00:28:59,120
for exploration

672
00:29:03,110 --> 00:29:01,360
so

673
00:29:04,389 --> 00:29:03,120
i tell people we're looking for all of

674
00:29:06,549 --> 00:29:04,399
your ideas

675
00:29:08,389 --> 00:29:06,559
not only in that area but in other areas

676
00:29:10,549 --> 00:29:08,399
help us come up with solutions to the

677
00:29:12,310 --> 00:29:10,559
problems that we have in low earth orbit

678
00:29:13,110 --> 00:29:12,320
because i do firmly believe if we come

679
00:29:16,230 --> 00:29:13,120
up with

680
00:29:18,870 --> 00:29:16,240
solutions there it helps us as we're

681
00:29:21,590 --> 00:29:18,880
going and pursuing our lunar missions

682
00:29:23,830 --> 00:29:21,600
and then going out to mars and and

683
00:29:26,389 --> 00:29:23,840
wherever else jim is going to take us

684
00:29:28,310 --> 00:29:26,399
thanks

685
00:29:29,430 --> 00:29:28,320
thank you and this next question goes

686
00:29:32,950 --> 00:29:29,440
back to bob

687
00:29:37,909 --> 00:29:32,960
jim mentioned stmd how does stmd fit

688
00:29:43,510 --> 00:29:41,909
so we are not changing uh stmd

689
00:29:44,789 --> 00:29:43,520
the work that jim reuter and his team

690
00:29:46,630 --> 00:29:44,799
are doing is outstanding and we

691
00:29:48,870 --> 00:29:46,640
absolutely need that as we move forward

692
00:29:51,350 --> 00:29:48,880
integrated with

693
00:29:53,990 --> 00:29:51,360
exploration and it's a it's a feeder

694
00:29:55,510 --> 00:29:54,000
organization stmd is going to continue

695
00:29:56,789 --> 00:29:55,520
on with the clips missions it's going to

696
00:29:59,190 --> 00:29:56,799
continue to help develop the

697
00:30:01,430 --> 00:29:59,200
technologies that we need to be

698
00:30:03,430 --> 00:30:01,440
successful as we go back to the moon in

699
00:30:05,029 --> 00:30:03,440
a sustainable way as we learn what we

700
00:30:08,149 --> 00:30:05,039
need to learn on the lunar surface so

701
00:30:10,630 --> 00:30:08,159
that we can eventually go on to mars

702
00:30:13,190 --> 00:30:10,640
no no impact to stmd at this time we're

703
00:30:16,149 --> 00:30:13,200
going to continue to operate as a team

704
00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:16,159
and you know i gotta say you know going

705
00:30:20,950 --> 00:30:18,480
back to the administrators uh earlier

706
00:30:23,430 --> 00:30:20,960
answer i have never seen our agency

707
00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:23,440
working together so well so integrated

708
00:30:28,310 --> 00:30:25,600
between all our mission directorates

709
00:30:30,389 --> 00:30:28,320
executing our mission and we all feed

710
00:30:32,470 --> 00:30:30,399
into each other the technologies that

711
00:30:34,149 --> 00:30:32,480
we're developing what we need it's not

712
00:30:35,830 --> 00:30:34,159
like science is going off on their own

713
00:30:38,149 --> 00:30:35,840
doing what they want they're doing what

714
00:30:40,149 --> 00:30:38,159
they need to help us be successful with

715
00:30:43,110 --> 00:30:40,159
humans exploration is going to feed into

716
00:30:45,830 --> 00:30:43,120
operations stmd feeds into

717
00:30:48,070 --> 00:30:45,840
you know exploration and operations so

718
00:30:50,789 --> 00:30:48,080
we're totally integrated we move forward

719
00:30:52,549 --> 00:30:50,799
as one

720
00:30:54,549 --> 00:30:52,559
thank you sir that's good to hear

721
00:30:56,789 --> 00:30:54,559
this next question is for jim and kathy

722
00:30:59,430 --> 00:30:56,799
and it has to do with eva

723
00:31:01,029 --> 00:30:59,440
eva is comprised of a systems of people

724
00:31:03,350 --> 00:31:01,039
and hardware

725
00:31:05,509 --> 00:31:03,360
much more than just the spacesuit it

726
00:31:07,269 --> 00:31:05,519
integrates the human astronauts with

727
00:31:10,470 --> 00:31:07,279
other assets of human spaceflight

728
00:31:12,870 --> 00:31:10,480
systems the eva system supports both iss

729
00:31:13,909 --> 00:31:12,880
spaceops and artemis exploration

730
00:31:15,909 --> 00:31:13,919
missions

731
00:31:18,630 --> 00:31:15,919
how will this reorg clarify the

732
00:31:20,870 --> 00:31:18,640
hierarchy and integration of eva teams

733
00:31:23,430 --> 00:31:20,880
ranging from leadership to engineering

734
00:31:25,590 --> 00:31:23,440
and operations with the number of civil

735
00:31:28,230 --> 00:31:25,600
servants to charge their salary to

736
00:31:30,870 --> 00:31:28,240
problems or gap areas rather than

737
00:31:32,870 --> 00:31:30,880
specific projects in order to allow

738
00:31:36,389 --> 00:31:32,880
freedom of development and

739
00:31:39,909 --> 00:31:36,399
commercialization pursuits

740
00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:42,389
so i think what's really great

741
00:31:47,269 --> 00:31:44,880
as you become a and jimmy learned this

742
00:31:50,310 --> 00:31:47,279
and he was a center director is we got a

743
00:31:51,110 --> 00:31:50,320
great team at jsc working this first of

744
00:31:54,549 --> 00:31:51,120
all

745
00:31:56,630 --> 00:31:54,559
and vanessa and her team and

746
00:31:58,789 --> 00:31:56,640
are working and laying out actually a

747
00:32:01,590 --> 00:31:58,799
plan to be able to support

748
00:32:03,590 --> 00:32:01,600
our strategies for the development of

749
00:32:06,789 --> 00:32:03,600
suits not only for

750
00:32:07,669 --> 00:32:06,799
obviously the iss and being able to

751
00:32:09,269 --> 00:32:07,679
and

752
00:32:11,909 --> 00:32:09,279
i think one of the folks don't realize

753
00:32:15,029 --> 00:32:11,919
is getting a new suit on iss actually

754
00:32:17,590 --> 00:32:15,039
helps us test out and get ready for a

755
00:32:19,110 --> 00:32:17,600
suit on the lunar surface and so

756
00:32:21,269 --> 00:32:19,120
um

757
00:32:24,389 --> 00:32:21,279
you know jim's team obviously will be

758
00:32:26,389 --> 00:32:24,399
looking at the utility and requirement

759
00:32:28,070 --> 00:32:26,399
sets for a lunar suit because you have

760
00:32:30,230 --> 00:32:28,080
to it's so embedded in your in the

761
00:32:32,789 --> 00:32:30,240
architecture that you're developing

762
00:32:36,310 --> 00:32:32,799
and obviously we've been working with

763
00:32:38,710 --> 00:32:36,320
vanessa and her eva team at jsc to make

764
00:32:41,269 --> 00:32:38,720
sure that the continuum of that

765
00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:41,279
capability that allows us to test that

766
00:32:46,230 --> 00:32:44,240
capability on the iss provide utility

767
00:32:49,430 --> 00:32:46,240
with that suit on iss

768
00:32:52,149 --> 00:32:49,440
and then move on to supporting

769
00:32:53,509 --> 00:32:52,159
the development activities and

770
00:32:55,990 --> 00:32:53,519
comes back to

771
00:32:58,710 --> 00:32:56,000
the future sustaining operations on the

772
00:33:04,470 --> 00:33:01,750
vanessa has laid out an integrated plan

773
00:33:06,630 --> 00:33:04,480
support us and i'm absolutely confident

774
00:33:08,230 --> 00:33:06,640
that that team will be ready to go

775
00:33:11,190 --> 00:33:08,240
execute on this

776
00:33:12,789 --> 00:33:11,200
very very difficult mission and bring us

777
00:33:18,789 --> 00:33:12,799
and to be able to accomplish all the

778
00:33:22,549 --> 00:33:20,230
okay

779
00:33:24,710 --> 00:33:22,559
thank you there's a lot going on in the

780
00:33:26,710 --> 00:33:24,720
future now let's talk about the deep

781
00:33:28,230 --> 00:33:26,720
future or the far future jim this

782
00:33:30,549 --> 00:33:28,240
question is for you

783
00:33:33,110 --> 00:33:30,559
we know what we are doing is leading up

784
00:33:35,990 --> 00:33:33,120
to the first human land on mars

785
00:33:39,190 --> 00:33:36,000
but what comes after that and on mars

786
00:33:42,149 --> 00:33:39,200
after humans have landed there

787
00:33:44,549 --> 00:33:42,159
okay again day two but um i i guess what

788
00:33:46,710 --> 00:33:44,559
i'd say is the you keep hearing the word

789
00:33:49,350 --> 00:33:46,720
integrated and and the the last question

790
00:33:51,350 --> 00:33:49,360
for example of of the suits

791
00:33:53,669 --> 00:33:51,360
everything we're doing and kathy hit on

792
00:33:57,029 --> 00:33:53,679
it before stuff we're doing today is

793
00:33:59,029 --> 00:33:57,039
buying down those long-term risks so

794
00:33:59,830 --> 00:33:59,039
what we do after is all going to be

795
00:34:02,149 --> 00:33:59,840
built

796
00:34:04,870 --> 00:34:02,159
off of today so how do we how do we do

797
00:34:07,350 --> 00:34:04,880
the transportation to further out in

798
00:34:09,510 --> 00:34:07,360
space how do we get out into the nrho

799
00:34:12,149 --> 00:34:09,520
orbit how do we think about how we get

800
00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:12,159
to mars right those kind of

801
00:34:15,109 --> 00:34:13,520
technologies are going to take us

802
00:34:16,629 --> 00:34:15,119
further what do we learn when we're on

803
00:34:18,790 --> 00:34:16,639
the lunar surface

804
00:34:21,349 --> 00:34:18,800
um that's going to help us learn what we

805
00:34:23,909 --> 00:34:21,359
do when we're on mars and then all of

806
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:23,919
that fed back with the human in the loop

807
00:34:27,750 --> 00:34:26,240
right mark mark just got extended to a

808
00:34:29,270 --> 00:34:27,760
year right everything we're learning

809
00:34:31,030 --> 00:34:29,280
from the six months missions to the

810
00:34:32,069 --> 00:34:31,040
one-year missions are buying down the

811
00:34:34,149 --> 00:34:32,079
risks

812
00:34:37,109 --> 00:34:34,159
that the human research program has

813
00:34:39,510 --> 00:34:37,119
given us so i think we have

814
00:34:42,790 --> 00:34:39,520
that groundwork tells us where we can go

815
00:34:45,990 --> 00:34:42,800
after mars but right now honestly um we

816
00:34:48,389 --> 00:34:46,000
have the chance to set a defined focused

817
00:34:50,629 --> 00:34:48,399
path to mars that's really what i want

818
00:34:53,270 --> 00:34:50,639
to do before we look too much further

819
00:34:55,510 --> 00:34:53,280
beyond it let me just tell you thomas is

820
00:34:57,030 --> 00:34:55,520
always coming up with new places for us

821
00:34:59,990 --> 00:34:57,040
to follow so

822
00:35:05,589 --> 00:35:00,000
we're looking for more places where bots

823
00:35:09,190 --> 00:35:08,069
okay and kathy back to you for one final

824
00:35:11,589 --> 00:35:09,200
question

825
00:35:13,270 --> 00:35:11,599
what becomes of the heo affordability

826
00:35:16,870 --> 00:35:13,280
initiative with this new mission

827
00:35:21,670 --> 00:35:18,870
hey bob told us today

828
00:35:23,670 --> 00:35:21,680
charge forward i can't tell you um you

829
00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:23,680
know it becomes even more important for

830
00:35:28,069 --> 00:35:24,800
us to

831
00:35:30,710 --> 00:35:28,079
figure out how to move to

832
00:35:32,069 --> 00:35:30,720
sustainable and cost-effective and

833
00:35:33,990 --> 00:35:32,079
reliable

834
00:35:36,069 --> 00:35:34,000
you know crew transportation for our

835
00:35:37,829 --> 00:35:36,079
exploration systems

836
00:35:40,150 --> 00:35:37,839
going forward so we can free up

837
00:35:41,190 --> 00:35:40,160
development money for jim to do the next

838
00:35:43,349 --> 00:35:41,200
step

839
00:35:45,349 --> 00:35:43,359
we've got a lot of things i can see he's

840
00:35:46,870 --> 00:35:45,359
got this list going on in his head right

841
00:35:48,310 --> 00:35:46,880
now and um

842
00:35:51,349 --> 00:35:48,320
it's going to be really really important

843
00:35:53,750 --> 00:35:51,359
for us to get to a place where we have

844
00:35:56,150 --> 00:35:53,760
to provide reliable

845
00:35:59,109 --> 00:35:56,160
and safe crew transportation for

846
00:36:00,950 --> 00:35:59,119
exploration systems um but

847
00:36:03,510 --> 00:36:00,960
it's really really critical for us to

848
00:36:04,950 --> 00:36:03,520
then be able to free up the resources

849
00:36:07,030 --> 00:36:04,960
for development

850
00:36:08,870 --> 00:36:07,040
and i'd i'd just like to add you know

851
00:36:11,510 --> 00:36:08,880
this isn't just a

852
00:36:14,150 --> 00:36:11,520
a heal initiative as it started off

853
00:36:16,550 --> 00:36:14,160
this is a directive from the ninth floor

854
00:36:17,990 --> 00:36:16,560
that we have to find a way to become

855
00:36:20,069 --> 00:36:18,000
more uh

856
00:36:21,430 --> 00:36:20,079
cost effective and efficient as we move

857
00:36:24,150 --> 00:36:21,440
forward with

858
00:36:26,390 --> 00:36:24,160
our artemis architecture and we had a

859
00:36:28,790 --> 00:36:26,400
telecon this morning both jim and kathy

860
00:36:31,589 --> 00:36:28,800
were in it jim of course has the initial

861
00:36:34,069 --> 00:36:31,599
job of getting us success on our initial

862
00:36:36,790 --> 00:36:34,079
artemis missions but just as we have

863
00:36:38,950 --> 00:36:36,800
restructured contracts on the shuttle on

864
00:36:41,030 --> 00:36:38,960
the international space station

865
00:36:43,829 --> 00:36:41,040
we have to move to a

866
00:36:46,470 --> 00:36:43,839
more sustainable model as we come out of

867
00:36:47,990 --> 00:36:46,480
the development phase and jim said it

868
00:36:51,589 --> 00:36:48,000
earlier you know there's a difference

869
00:36:52,630 --> 00:36:51,599
between being operational and operations

870
00:36:55,030 --> 00:36:52,640
you know

871
00:36:57,030 --> 00:36:55,040
it's never going to be truly operational

872
00:36:58,790 --> 00:36:57,040
is what we think about you know you just

873
00:37:00,390 --> 00:36:58,800
get in and go and you don't you know you

874
00:37:02,870 --> 00:37:00,400
kick the tires and go that's not going

875
00:37:05,270 --> 00:37:02,880
to ever be the case with the systems

876
00:37:08,310 --> 00:37:05,280
that we fly they're going to require

877
00:37:10,790 --> 00:37:08,320
extreme diligence by the team

878
00:37:12,710 --> 00:37:10,800
regardless of how the contract is

879
00:37:14,710 --> 00:37:12,720
structured so that we ensure that we are

880
00:37:16,390 --> 00:37:14,720
doing things in the absolute safest way

881
00:37:18,230 --> 00:37:16,400
that we understand the risk and we're

882
00:37:20,390 --> 00:37:18,240
going to be constantly learning on every

883
00:37:22,470 --> 00:37:20,400
flight and making modifications just as

884
00:37:24,310 --> 00:37:22,480
we did throughout the shuttle program

885
00:37:26,069 --> 00:37:24,320
but that doesn't mean we can't get to a

886
00:37:30,870 --> 00:37:26,079
more effective

887
00:37:34,390 --> 00:37:32,790
thank you and we have time for just one

888
00:37:36,870 --> 00:37:34,400
final question this is for the

889
00:37:38,630 --> 00:37:36,880
administrator and pam

890
00:37:40,630 --> 00:37:38,640
i was just uh people were curious on

891
00:37:42,550 --> 00:37:40,640
what kind of timeline we can expect for

892
00:37:44,150 --> 00:37:42,560
organizational changes to cascade

893
00:37:47,990 --> 00:37:44,160
throughout nasa based on these new

894
00:37:54,069 --> 00:37:51,030
well we are starting right now

895
00:37:55,510 --> 00:37:54,079
and uh there will be an implementation

896
00:37:57,430 --> 00:37:55,520
over time

897
00:38:01,270 --> 00:37:57,440
uh naturally

898
00:38:03,030 --> 00:38:01,280
uh and uh we're gonna feel that along as

899
00:38:05,829 --> 00:38:03,040
we go

900
00:38:13,030 --> 00:38:05,839
but uh this new uh

901
00:38:18,390 --> 00:38:15,589
so what we understand is uh you know

902
00:38:20,550 --> 00:38:18,400
what we're hearing from cfo and

903
00:38:24,310 --> 00:38:20,560
chico is

904
00:38:26,630 --> 00:38:24,320
90 to 120 days is normal for

905
00:38:27,990 --> 00:38:26,640
an effort like this

906
00:38:31,190 --> 00:38:28,000
i think it's just important to

907
00:38:33,030 --> 00:38:31,200
understand that we're not in a big rush

908
00:38:35,430 --> 00:38:33,040
to change things

909
00:38:37,829 --> 00:38:35,440
we have a lot of

910
00:38:39,910 --> 00:38:37,839
really important things happening and we

911
00:38:42,390 --> 00:38:39,920
have to keep our eye on the ball

912
00:38:43,750 --> 00:38:42,400
and that's what we're asking you

913
00:38:45,589 --> 00:38:43,760
doing what you're doing because you're

914
00:38:48,230 --> 00:38:45,599
doing really well

915
00:38:50,230 --> 00:38:48,240
and it's very very important that we

916
00:38:52,870 --> 00:38:50,240
take it one step at a time

917
00:38:55,190 --> 00:38:52,880
and we don't drop the ball anywhere

918
00:38:57,670 --> 00:38:55,200
along the way so we will take all the

919
00:39:02,550 --> 00:38:57,680
time we need to make the transition

920
00:39:06,310 --> 00:39:04,390
thank you and that will conclude our

921
00:39:08,550 --> 00:39:06,320
question and answer session i'd like to

922
00:39:09,670 --> 00:39:08,560
thank the nasa workforce for all of your

923
00:39:11,030 --> 00:39:09,680
questions

924
00:39:13,030 --> 00:39:11,040
just know that there's going to be many

925
00:39:15,270 --> 00:39:13,040
more opportunities to discuss this with

926
00:39:17,349 --> 00:39:15,280
leadership in the next coming days weeks

927
00:39:19,430 --> 00:39:17,359
and even months

928
00:39:20,950 --> 00:39:19,440
and for our speakers are there any final

929
00:39:26,790 --> 00:39:20,960
thoughts that you would like to share

930
00:39:30,630 --> 00:39:28,310
i thought i had about four people's

931
00:39:32,310 --> 00:39:30,640
worth of comments to think of something

932
00:39:34,069 --> 00:39:32,320
um

933
00:39:36,150 --> 00:39:34,079
i want to thank the team that has

934
00:39:37,829 --> 00:39:36,160

for us and uh we're gonna need lots of

945
00:40:00,150 --> 00:39:56,480
help along the way

946
00:40:04,950 --> 00:40:02,630
that wasn't wasn't quite as easy

947
00:40:07,109 --> 00:40:04,960
the last last time um

973
00:41:08,390 --> 00:41:06,400
quality of our workforce

974
00:41:09,510 --> 00:41:08,400
in what you accomplish on a day-to-day

975
00:41:12,069 --> 00:41:09,520
basis

be successful and it's going to be

981
00:41:30,230 --> 00:41:27,190
[Music]

982
00:41:32,630 --> 00:41:30,240
i'd just like to say that

983
00:41:34,950 --> 00:41:32,640
the question about the future happens

984
00:41:36,630 --> 00:41:34,960
after 2040 resonated with me because i'm

985
00:41:37,910 --> 00:41:36,640
spending a lot of my time thinking about

986
00:41:38,790 --> 00:41:37,920
that too

987
00:41:40,390 --> 00:41:38,800
and

988
00:41:42,630 --> 00:41:40,400
in particular

989
00:41:45,109 --> 00:41:42,640
we haven't talked about it today but the

990
00:41:47,990 --> 00:41:45,119
massive existential threat that climate

991
00:41:50,710 --> 00:41:48,000
change offers us and the critical role

992
00:41:53,430 --> 00:41:50,720
that aeronautics is going to play in

993
00:41:56,150 --> 00:41:53,440
reducing emissions for the future to

994
00:41:58,630 --> 00:41:56,160
reach the targets for 2050 and in

995
00:42:00,230 --> 00:41:58,640
addition our planetary science and our

996
00:42:02,150 --> 00:42:00,240
earth science

997
00:42:03,990 --> 00:42:02,160
looking at the earth and understanding

998
00:42:06,069 --> 00:42:04,000
and providing the information that we

999
00:42:07,589 --> 00:42:06,079
need to make the decisions that are

1000
00:42:08,630 --> 00:42:07,599
essential

1001
00:42:10,069 --> 00:42:08,640
uh

1002
00:42:12,550 --> 00:42:10,079
that's a lot

1003
00:42:14,710 --> 00:42:12,560
we're talking about humanity

1004
00:42:16,630 --> 00:42:14,720
going out into the solar system

1005
00:42:17,670 --> 00:42:16,640
and saving the earth

1006
00:42:20,230 --> 00:42:17,680
and

1007
00:42:21,030 --> 00:42:20,240
i couldn't be more proud of the team

1008
00:42:24,150 --> 00:42:21,040
and

1009
00:42:28,550 --> 00:42:24,160
the work that you're doing every day

1010
00:42:34,630 --> 00:42:32,069
it's a truth that

1011
00:42:37,510 --> 00:42:34,640
you really like and love what you're

1012
00:42:40,230 --> 00:42:37,520
doing it's not work

1013
00:42:43,109 --> 00:42:40,240
and i think that's very applicable to

1014
00:42:45,829 --> 00:42:43,119
the people of nasa

1015
00:42:49,670 --> 00:42:45,839
uh and that's why we're such an amazing

1016
00:42:53,990 --> 00:42:49,680
team an amazing family

1017
00:42:54,790 --> 00:42:54,000
i want to thank you also because 90

1020
00:43:03,030 --> 00:42:59,760
vaccinated

1021
00:43:05,750 --> 00:43:03,040
and this plague of coped that we've been

1022
00:43:11,430 --> 00:43:09,190
it has held us up

1023
00:43:12,950 --> 00:43:11,440
it has caused

1024
00:43:16,790 --> 00:43:12,960
a financial

1025
00:43:21,750 --> 00:43:16,800
and it has caused a personal toll

1026
00:43:30,470 --> 00:43:26,309
it has indeed caused the untimely death

1027
00:43:33,190 --> 00:43:30,480
of a number of our nasa family members

1028
00:43:35,030 --> 00:43:33,200
