we the people of the Artemis Generation

17
00:00:43,729 --> 00:00:40,980
all around this beautiful world will

18
00:00:48,229 --> 00:00:43,739
bear witness to what we are capable of

19
00:00:59,689 --> 00:00:49,670
are going back to the Moon

20
00:01:04,429 --> 00:01:02,090
good afternoon and welcome into the

21
00:01:07,429 --> 00:01:04,439
iconic Vehicle Assembly Building at

22
00:01:10,609 --> 00:01:07,439
NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida I

23
00:01:14,090 --> 00:01:10,619
am Megan Cruz and today you will witness

24
00:01:16,130 --> 00:01:14,100
history in the making that right there

25
00:01:19,609 --> 00:01:16,140
is the world's most powerful rocket

26
00:01:21,649 --> 00:01:19,619
NASA's space launch system or SLS and on

27
00:01:24,890 --> 00:01:21,659
top the Orion spacecraft that will

28
00:01:27,230 --> 00:01:24,900
return us to the Moon we are reigniting

29
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:27,240
our passion for Discovery today by

30
00:01:33,649 --> 00:01:30,000
Rolling this integrated system out of

31
00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:33,659
the VAB for the first time ever that

32
00:01:39,770 --> 00:01:36,720
role started just a few seconds ago and

33
00:01:43,370 --> 00:01:39,780
now both SLS and Orion are headed to

34
00:01:45,950 --> 00:01:43,380
Historic launch pad 39b for a critical

35
00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:45,960
test that will help determine if we are

36
00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:48,479
ready for Artemis 1.

37
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:51,840
Artemis 1 is an uncrewed test flight of

38
00:01:57,950 --> 00:01:54,960
SLS Orion and the ground systems here at

39
00:02:01,130 --> 00:01:57,960
Kennedy if all goes well Orion will

40
00:02:04,910 --> 00:02:01,140
orbit the Moon farther than any of the

41
00:02:07,490 --> 00:02:04,920
Apollo missions before it Artemis 2 will

42
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:07,500
have astronauts on board when it orbits

43
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:10,319
the moon and then Artemis 3 and future

44
00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:13,440
missions will land the first woman and

45
00:02:18,589 --> 00:02:16,080
person of color on the moon's surface

46
00:02:22,490 --> 00:02:18,599
the last time a person stepped foot on

47
00:02:25,309 --> 00:02:22,500
the moon was 50 years ago for Apollo 17

48
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:25,319
and that was the last time a moon bound

49
00:02:28,790 --> 00:02:27,120
rocket left the Vehicle Assembly

50
00:02:31,729 --> 00:02:28,800
Building

51
00:02:34,250 --> 00:02:31,739
now close to 10 000 people have gathered

52
00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:34,260
outside the VAV to see today's rollout

53
00:02:38,210 --> 00:02:36,239
wow look at that crowd you know it

54
00:02:41,630 --> 00:02:38,220
sounds like an easy operation rollout

55
00:02:43,729 --> 00:02:41,640
but really it's not as easy as it may

56
00:02:46,190 --> 00:02:43,739
seem together the rocket and spacecraft

57
00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:46,200
stand just taller than the Statue of

58
00:02:50,809 --> 00:02:48,959
Liberty as you can imagine you have

59
00:02:53,089 --> 00:02:50,819
pretty impressive machine to move at all

60
00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:53,099
well take a look at your screen we're

61
00:02:56,869 --> 00:02:55,920
going to show you what we call the

62
00:02:59,570 --> 00:02:56,879
crawler

63
00:03:02,930 --> 00:02:59,580
because it will slowly and carefully

64
00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:02,940
crawl SLS and Orion the four miles to

65
00:03:06,830 --> 00:03:05,040
the launch pad it's that piece of

66
00:03:09,649 --> 00:03:06,840
Machinery you see on the bottom they're

67
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:09,659
carrying all of that it's four miles to

68
00:03:15,410 --> 00:03:12,000
the launch pad estimated arrival at the

69
00:03:18,170 --> 00:03:15,420
pad is 4 30 a.m tomorrow morning so

70
00:03:19,729 --> 00:03:18,180
again 11 hours from now we are taking

71
00:03:21,649 --> 00:03:19,739
the slow and easy

72
00:03:23,869 --> 00:03:21,659
whether you're here in person or with us

73
00:03:26,509 --> 00:03:23,879
virtually we are so glad to have you

74
00:03:28,850 --> 00:03:26,519
here to celebrate this historic moment

75
00:03:31,490 --> 00:03:28,860
over the next hour we will have a Grammy

76
00:03:33,410 --> 00:03:31,500
award-winning artist Eddie Vedder with a

77
00:03:35,690 --> 00:03:33,420
song that honors the Artemis missions

78
00:03:38,509 --> 00:03:35,700
you will also hear from NASA's

00:05:53,390 --> 00:05:49,790
to the Moon is a multinational ambition

89
00:05:55,730 --> 00:05:53,400
the tireless work of more than 70 000

90
00:05:58,010 --> 00:05:55,740
people across every state of our country

91
00:06:00,650 --> 00:05:58,020
and also different countries around the

92
00:06:02,689 --> 00:06:00,660
world SLS and Orion parts were brought

93
00:06:05,689 --> 00:06:02,699
to Kennedy Space Center VIA trains

94
00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:05,699

they are being assembled stacked fueled

98
00:06:43,730 --> 00:06:41,749
the next time these engines fire up

99
00:06:45,710 --> 00:06:43,740
we'll be on the launch pad to send an

100
00:06:47,210 --> 00:06:45,720
uncrewed Orion spacecraft around the

101
00:06:54,430 --> 00:06:47,220
Moon on a flight test for the Artemis

102
00:06:59,689 --> 00:06:57,290
it's been a journey of a thousand miles

103
00:07:02,450 --> 00:06:59,699
from Factory floors all across this

104
00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:02,460
country and around the world

105
00:07:10,370 --> 00:07:04,510

107
00:07:25,730 --> 00:07:14,039
and now the stage has been set

108
00:07:29,930 --> 00:07:28,309
the framework to support the enormity of

109
00:07:35,930 --> 00:07:29,940
this moment can be measured in

110
00:07:41,809 --> 00:07:39,050
but in the testing of a metal found much

111
00:07:51,420 --> 00:07:45,600
segment built upon the one before it

113
00:07:59,529 --> 00:07:57,830
the volume of anticipation can be seen

Rising

115
00:08:10,369 --> 00:08:02,460

exploration

120
00:08:26,850 --> 00:08:24,539
Artemis will demonstrate A New Path to

121
00:08:30,189 --> 00:08:26,860
the moon for this generation

122
00:08:37,070 --> 00:08:34,130
test flight will be a final proving of

123
00:08:38,529 --> 00:08:37,080
every system and every component in the

124
00:08:41,870 --> 00:08:38,539
harshness of space

125
00:08:44,029 --> 00:08:41,880
a mission that when successful will open

126
00:08:46,370 --> 00:08:44,039
the door for the moonwalkers and lunar

127
00:08:48,850 --> 00:08:46,380
experiments that so many have hoped and

128
00:08:52,410 --> 00:08:48,860
dreamed about

129
00:08:59,509 --> 00:08:52,420
we are going

130
00:09:03,230 --> 00:09:01,370
eight minutes until rollout and as you

131
00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:03,240
can see our crawler team is still

132
00:09:07,910 --> 00:09:06,000
focused working really hard to get SLS

133
00:09:10,430 --> 00:09:07,920
and Orion out of the vehicle Assembly

134
00:09:12,230 --> 00:09:10,440
Building you know this is years in the

135
00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:12,240
in the making this operation with John

136
00:09:17,329 --> 00:09:14,640
Giles here leading the way he oversees

137
00:09:19,730 --> 00:09:17,339
our crawler team with NASA's exploration

138
00:09:21,230 --> 00:09:19,740
ground systems program or EGS here at

139
00:09:22,910 --> 00:09:21,240
Kennedy thank you so much for finding

140
00:09:25,370 --> 00:09:22,920
the time to talk with us John very much

141
00:09:27,949 --> 00:09:25,380
welcome and I just got word that the

142
00:09:28,970 --> 00:09:27,959
crawler has crossed the threshold of the

143
00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:28,980
VAV

144
00:09:34,670 --> 00:09:31,200
how does that feel I'm so excited you

145
00:09:36,769 --> 00:09:34,680
should be excited you're alive inside I

146
00:09:38,269 --> 00:09:36,779
am very excited awesome that's great

147
00:09:39,470 --> 00:09:38,279
yeah talk to me about where we are in

148
00:09:40,850 --> 00:09:39,480
the operation you know there was a

149
00:09:43,009 --> 00:09:40,860
little bit of a delay today can you talk

150
00:09:45,949 --> 00:09:43,019
walk us through some of that so we had a

151
00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:45,959
couple little delays on uh some

152
00:09:49,790 --> 00:09:48,240
observers we need many observers to

153
00:09:52,790 --> 00:09:49,800
watch us going out to make sure we don't

154
00:09:55,070 --> 00:09:52,800
hit anything so as you can see from all

155
00:09:56,449 --> 00:09:55,080
those platforms up there uh sometimes it

156
00:09:58,610 --> 00:09:56,459
takes a while for the people to get to

157
00:10:00,410 --> 00:09:58,620
those platforms so that held us up for a

158
00:10:01,970 --> 00:10:00,420
little bit and then there was a piece of

159
00:10:04,730 --> 00:10:01,980
environmental control system ductwork

160
00:10:07,009 --> 00:10:04,740
that was in the way that was moved and

161
00:10:09,110 --> 00:10:07,019
then we lifted up to 18 inches over the

162
00:10:10,550 --> 00:10:09,120
mounts and now we're crawling and now

163
00:10:13,370 --> 00:10:10,560
we're crawling and I think it was about

164
00:10:15,050 --> 00:10:13,380
5 47 p.m when I got first where we were

165
00:10:16,850 --> 00:10:15,060
moving let's turn around and take a look

166
00:10:19,130 --> 00:10:16,860
at this it is crawling you can see that

167
00:10:21,170 --> 00:10:19,140
it's it's moved quite a bit yes how do

168
00:10:23,509 --> 00:10:21,180
you feel knowing that you're a part of

169
00:10:25,130 --> 00:10:23,519
this team that's making this happen and

170
00:10:28,550 --> 00:10:25,140
we're returning to the Moon soon yeah

171
00:10:31,490 --> 00:10:28,560
it's it's almost Indescribable uh I've

172
00:10:33,350 --> 00:10:31,500
waited a decade for this since we first

173
00:10:36,590 --> 00:10:33,360
started modifying this crawler and

174
00:10:38,810 --> 00:10:36,600
getting ready for this so we are ready

175
00:10:41,150 --> 00:10:38,820
this is so exciting and even though it's

176
00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:41,160
a bit of a long ride out to the pad I'm

177
00:10:44,690 --> 00:10:43,200
looking forward to every bit of it let's

178
00:10:47,150 --> 00:10:44,700
talk about this crawler and impressive

179
00:10:50,389 --> 00:10:47,160
machine it was built in the 60s

180
00:10:53,329 --> 00:10:50,399
yes it was and the fact that we are

181
00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:53,339
still using that today is a testament to

182
00:10:57,650 --> 00:10:55,440
all the people that work on it all the

183
00:10:59,690 --> 00:10:57,660
people that maintain it we have lots of

184
00:11:02,090 --> 00:10:59,700
experience with this we have lots of

185
00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:02,100
talented technicians who keep this thing

186
00:11:05,150 --> 00:11:03,839
going and maintained and that's the

187
00:11:07,970 --> 00:11:05,160
reason we're still using this piece of

188
00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:07,980
equipment that's 57 years old and we can

189
00:11:11,509 --> 00:11:09,600
see some of the video right here I mean

190
00:11:13,250 --> 00:11:11,519
this is the crawler that took out we're

191
00:11:15,410 --> 00:11:13,260
talking about shuttle missions Apollo

192
00:11:19,069 --> 00:11:15,420
missions talk to us about that every

193
00:11:24,050 --> 00:11:19,079
single Mission so launch pad's 39 A and

194
00:11:26,269 --> 00:11:24,060
B all the Apollo missions Sky lab all

195
00:11:28,250 --> 00:11:26,279
the shuttle missions constellation and

196
00:11:31,250 --> 00:11:28,260
now SLS everything that launched there

197
00:11:33,290 --> 00:11:31,260
rode on one of our two crawlers wow it's

198
00:11:34,790 --> 00:11:33,300
it's the only way to get to the pad yeah

199
00:11:37,130 --> 00:11:34,800
because they Goosebumps thinking about

200
00:11:39,230 --> 00:11:37,140
it the rich history here it's giving me

201
00:11:40,910 --> 00:11:39,240
goosebumps too you talk about uh the

202
00:11:42,710 --> 00:11:40,920
fact that there needed to be a number of

203
00:11:45,170 --> 00:11:42,720
modifications right to make sure that we

204
00:11:48,530 --> 00:11:45,180
could support SLS and Orion

205
00:11:50,690 --> 00:11:48,540
so at the end of shuttle they came to us

206
00:11:52,910 --> 00:11:50,700
and said we have some new requirements

207
00:11:55,430 --> 00:11:52,920
for the SLS program a bunch of

208
00:11:57,050 --> 00:11:55,440
requirements but the biggest one was you

209
00:11:58,730 --> 00:11:57,060
have to be able to increase the weight

210
00:12:01,610 --> 00:11:58,740
you can carry sure so the original

211
00:12:04,129 --> 00:12:01,620
design was for 12 million pounds so we

212
00:12:07,250 --> 00:12:04,139
did a lot of modifications to the roller

213
00:12:10,610 --> 00:12:07,260
bearings to the trucks to the brakes to

214
00:12:13,009 --> 00:12:10,620
the our jacking Equalization of leveling

215
00:12:14,990 --> 00:12:13,019
cylinders everything so we can now lift

216
00:12:17,329 --> 00:12:15,000
18 million pounds that is a lot of

217
00:12:19,790 --> 00:12:17,339
weight 50 increase over the original

218
00:12:21,530 --> 00:12:19,800
design wow and you guys did that you

219
00:12:22,970 --> 00:12:21,540
made that happen you know I also read an

220
00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:22,980
interesting stat that the top of the

221
00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:25,440
crawler the surface there is the size of

222
00:12:29,990 --> 00:12:27,600
a baseball diamond that is unbelievable

223
00:12:32,990 --> 00:12:30,000
and the fact that somebody is driving

224
00:12:35,569 --> 00:12:33,000
something that size right now so that

225
00:12:37,370 --> 00:12:35,579
comes from the the bases on a Major

226
00:12:40,610 --> 00:12:37,380
League Baseball Field are 90 feet apart

227
00:12:42,350 --> 00:12:40,620
so the four locations where we intersect

228
00:12:45,590 --> 00:12:42,360
or where we mate with the mobile

229
00:12:47,269 --> 00:12:45,600
launcher are 90 feet apart so that is an

230
00:12:49,850 --> 00:12:47,279
actual baseball infill but the crawler

231
00:12:54,110 --> 00:12:49,860
is actually even bigger well it's 131

232
00:12:57,470 --> 00:12:54,120
feet by 114 feet weighs 6.6 million

233
00:12:58,850 --> 00:12:57,480
pounds so it's in talking with the

234
00:13:01,310 --> 00:12:58,860
drivers it's kind of like driving a

235
00:13:02,990 --> 00:13:01,320
super tanker yeah it doesn't stop fast

236
00:13:04,490 --> 00:13:03,000
it doesn't move fast you have to think

237
00:13:08,269 --> 00:13:04,500
way ahead when you're going to make

238
00:13:09,590 --> 00:13:08,279
turns and and everything is just

239
00:13:10,970 --> 00:13:09,600
we need a lot of people to do that

240
00:13:12,350 --> 00:13:10,980
challenging and a lot of people have

241
00:13:14,329 --> 00:13:12,360
many different jobs to make sure an

242
00:13:15,769 --> 00:13:14,339
operation like this goes according to

243
00:13:18,350 --> 00:13:15,779
plan can you talk to us about some other

244
00:13:20,210 --> 00:13:18,360
jobs so other than the drivers we have

245
00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:20,220
Engineers that are monitoring all the

246
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:22,399
systems in the control room we have

247
00:13:26,410 --> 00:13:24,480
technicians electrical technicians

248
00:13:30,530 --> 00:13:26,420
mechanical technicians diesel

249
00:13:33,050 --> 00:13:30,540
technicians mechanics we have Logistics

250
00:13:34,850 --> 00:13:33,060
Personnel in case we need parts we have

251
00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:34,860
lots of observers everywhere because the

252
00:13:38,090 --> 00:13:36,480
driver can't see everything as he's

253
00:13:41,210 --> 00:13:38,100
driving so we need other people to

254
00:13:43,310 --> 00:13:41,220
follow us and walk with us and tell us

255
00:13:44,870 --> 00:13:43,320
we need to start turning here we need to

256
00:13:46,670 --> 00:13:44,880
slow down there so everybody's on

257
00:13:48,230 --> 00:13:46,680
headsets like we are and they're all

258
00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:48,240
talking to each other it's it's a huge

259
00:13:52,670 --> 00:13:50,880
undertaking and that's why you know

260
00:13:53,930 --> 00:13:52,680
obviously it's going to take quite a bit

261
00:13:55,850 --> 00:13:53,940
to get to the launch pad and we're

262
00:13:57,470 --> 00:13:55,860
looking at 11 hour journey by the time

263
00:13:58,850 --> 00:13:57,480
it finally reaches the launch pad but

264
00:14:00,650 --> 00:13:58,860
now that you've explained that I

265
00:14:02,030 --> 00:14:00,660
absolutely understand why it has to take

266
00:14:03,769 --> 00:14:02,040
quite a bit thank you so much John

267
00:14:05,210 --> 00:14:03,779
you're very welcome good luck with the

268
00:14:07,850 --> 00:14:05,220
rest of the rollout I can't wait to see

269
00:14:10,189 --> 00:14:07,860
it on the pad thank you now the Artemis

270
00:14:12,530 --> 00:14:10,199
program is named after Artemis of Greek

271
00:14:15,230 --> 00:14:12,540
mythology she was Apollo's twin sister

272
00:14:17,150 --> 00:14:15,240
and the goddess of the moon Artemis 1

273
00:14:19,730 --> 00:14:17,160
will build on the achievements of those

274
00:14:21,829 --> 00:14:19,740
who came before us and create a

275
00:14:27,170 --> 00:14:21,839
permanent presence on the moon and

276
00:14:34,370 --> 00:14:30,730
we are going

277
00:14:37,189 --> 00:14:34,380
the history of this agency is marked

278
00:14:38,590 --> 00:14:37,199
with broken barriers once viewed as

279
00:14:42,769 --> 00:14:38,600
impossible

280
00:14:45,650 --> 00:14:42,779
with science fiction turned reality with

281
00:14:47,689 --> 00:14:45,660
innovations that have spun Industries

282
00:14:52,430 --> 00:14:47,699
all their own

283
00:14:55,090 --> 00:14:52,440
and with demonstrations of Peace for all

284
00:15:00,110 --> 00:14:55,100
humankind

285
00:15:03,590 --> 00:15:00,120
we soar in the skies of our home planet

286
00:15:07,069 --> 00:15:03,600
we maintain a human presence just

287
00:15:10,970 --> 00:15:07,079
outside of gravity and we touch points

288
00:15:13,189 --> 00:15:10,980
all across the solar system and beyond

289
00:15:15,670 --> 00:15:13,199
we're going back to the Moon

290
00:15:18,410 --> 00:15:15,680
this is why

291
00:15:21,230 --> 00:15:18,420
the Moon is a treasure Trove of science

292
00:15:24,050 --> 00:15:21,240
it holds opportunities for us to make

293
00:15:27,050 --> 00:15:24,060
discoveries about our own Planet about

294
00:15:28,550 --> 00:15:27,060
our sun and about our solar system the

295
00:15:30,769 --> 00:15:28,560
wealth of knowledge to be gleaned from

296
00:15:34,129 --> 00:15:30,779
the moon will inspire a new generation

297
00:15:36,410 --> 00:15:34,139
of thought and action without fail every

298
00:15:38,749 --> 00:15:36,420
major program and mission NASA has

299
00:15:40,490 --> 00:15:38,759
invested in has led to Technologies and

300
00:15:42,829 --> 00:15:40,500
capabilities that have shaped our

301
00:15:45,710 --> 00:15:42,839
culture the breakthroughs of the Artemis

302
00:15:48,290 --> 00:15:45,720
era will Define Our Generation and the

303
00:15:49,970 --> 00:15:48,300
generations to follow the tens of

304
00:15:52,370 --> 00:15:49,980
thousands of jobs associated with

305
00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:52,380
propelling us to the Moon today are just

306
00:15:56,930 --> 00:15:54,720
the beginning of a lunar economy that

307
00:15:59,810 --> 00:15:56,940
will see hundreds of thousands of new

308
00:16:01,850 --> 00:15:59,820
jobs developed around the world this is

309
00:16:04,310 --> 00:16:01,860
not an ambition of one entity or one

310
00:16:07,310 --> 00:16:04,320
country the exploration of the moon is a

311
00:16:09,530 --> 00:16:07,320
shared effort woven together by a desire

312
00:16:12,350 --> 00:16:09,540
for the greater good why the moon

313
00:16:14,810 --> 00:16:12,360
because the missions of Tomorrow Will Be

314
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:14,820
sparked by the accomplishments of the

315
00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:17,519
Artemis generation today because the

316
00:16:22,850 --> 00:16:20,880
ambition to go has already begun and

317
00:16:24,230 --> 00:16:22,860
because Mars is calling we need to learn

318
00:16:27,050 --> 00:16:24,240
what it takes to establish a community

319
00:16:30,069 --> 00:16:27,060
upon another Cosmic Shore so let's get

320
00:16:34,009 --> 00:16:30,079
close before pushing out

321
00:16:37,329 --> 00:16:34,019
and so we go to the moon now not as a

322
00:16:40,970 --> 00:16:37,339
series of isolated missions

323
00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:40,980
but to build a community on and around

324
00:16:47,449 --> 00:16:44,399
the Moon capable of proving how to live

325
00:16:49,590 --> 00:16:47,459
on other worlds

326
00:16:51,790 --> 00:16:49,600
foreign

327
00:16:54,650 --> 00:16:51,800
[Music]

328
00:16:57,650 --> 00:16:54,660
s for more than 50 years of peaceful

329
00:17:00,230 --> 00:16:57,660
exploration to send a new generation to

330
00:17:02,150 --> 00:17:00,240
the lunar surface to stay we will anchor

331
00:17:03,889 --> 00:17:02,160
our efforts on the lunar South Pole to

332
00:17:06,470 --> 00:17:03,899
establish the artemis-based camp

333
00:17:09,650 --> 00:17:06,480
positioning us for long-term science and

334
00:17:11,630 --> 00:17:09,660
exploration of the lunar service we will

335
00:17:14,449 --> 00:17:11,640
prove what it takes to assemble a

336
00:17:15,970 --> 00:17:14,459
complex ship in deep space we will

337
00:17:20,029 --> 00:17:15,980
perfect

338
00:17:22,610 --> 00:17:20,039
and returning from a distance we will

339
00:17:25,189 --> 00:17:22,620
learn how humans can survive and thrive

340
00:17:26,929 --> 00:17:25,199
in a partial gravity environment with

341
00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:26,939
improved spacesuit designs mobile

342
00:17:31,490 --> 00:17:29,280
habitats and the reconnaissance robots

343
00:17:33,529 --> 00:17:31,500
pre-positioning and relocated supplies

344
00:17:36,350 --> 00:17:33,539
we will learn how to utilize the

345
00:17:38,450 --> 00:17:36,360
resources we find others starting with

346
00:17:40,730 --> 00:17:38,460
finding water ice and purifying it to

347
00:17:44,210 --> 00:17:40,740
drinkable water you can find that into

348
00:17:46,850 --> 00:17:44,220
hydrogen and oxygen to meet we will

349
00:17:48,770 --> 00:17:46,860
establish Vision power plants on the

350
00:17:51,230 --> 00:17:48,780
surface of the Moon capable of

351
00:17:53,690 --> 00:17:51,240
supporting a growing community events

352
00:17:55,610 --> 00:17:53,700
and we will spam the logistics supply

353
00:17:58,250 --> 00:17:55,620
chain to enable commercial and

354
00:18:01,870 --> 00:17:58,260
international Partners to resupply and

355
00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:01,880
refuel deep space outposts

356
00:18:09,110 --> 00:18:06,720
none of this is simple or easy but

357
00:18:11,650 --> 00:18:09,120
nothing in our history ever has been

358
00:18:14,409 --> 00:18:11,660
[Music]

359
00:18:17,390 --> 00:18:14,419
blue we're breathing again thanks a lot

360
00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:17,400
this kind of continuous lunar presence

361
00:18:22,930 --> 00:18:20,160
is a natural extension of all that we've

362
00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:22,940
learned in low earth orbit

363
00:18:28,909 --> 00:18:26,160
and what we will accomplish there will

364
00:18:31,510 --> 00:18:28,919
ensure the Monumental missions to Mars

365
00:18:34,789 --> 00:18:31,520
are within reach

366
00:18:37,730 --> 00:18:34,799
as we ready the launch of the first

367
00:18:40,370 --> 00:18:37,740
Artemis Mission and as commercial

368
00:18:44,990 --> 00:18:40,380
companies ready their lunar Landers for

369
00:18:59,810 --> 00:18:45,000
the first private payload deliveries we

370
00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:01,430
everyone take a look at your screen

371
00:19:06,950 --> 00:19:04,320
right now that right there is SLS and

372
00:19:09,230 --> 00:19:06,960
Orion and it is outside of the Vehicle

373
00:19:11,930 --> 00:19:09,240
Assembly Building for the first time

374
00:19:14,750 --> 00:19:11,940
ever it is giving me goosebumps just to

375
00:19:17,630 --> 00:19:14,760
say that seeing it poised there this is

376
00:19:21,169 --> 00:19:17,640
a historic moment a big moment we will

377
00:19:22,850 --> 00:19:21,179
remember this day for a very very long

378
00:19:25,789 --> 00:19:22,860
time again that's a wide shot we have

379
00:19:28,789 --> 00:19:25,799
there you can see it outside again that

380
00:19:31,789 --> 00:19:28,799
iconic Vehicle Assembly Building we have

381
00:19:34,190 --> 00:19:31,799
seen Apollo Rockets out of there we have

382
00:19:36,950 --> 00:19:34,200
seen shuttles come out of there now it

383
00:19:38,930 --> 00:19:36,960
is time for SLS and Orion

384
00:19:40,970 --> 00:19:38,940
crews are moving at all to the pad today

385
00:19:43,430 --> 00:19:40,980
for a critical test that will take place

386
00:19:45,710 --> 00:19:43,440
in two weeks and joining me now to talk

387
00:19:47,810 --> 00:19:45,720
about that test is Cliff Lanham he is

388
00:19:50,090 --> 00:19:47,820
the senior vehicle operations manager

389
00:19:52,970 --> 00:19:50,100
also with NASA's EGS at Kennedy Cliff

390
00:19:55,130 --> 00:19:52,980
what an exciting day oh you can't

391
00:19:57,770 --> 00:19:55,140
imagine for this team um we have been

392
00:20:00,470 --> 00:19:57,780
working really hard over the last 14

393
00:20:02,450 --> 00:20:00,480
months to get to this point and uh the

394
00:20:04,669 --> 00:20:02,460
team is beyond excited we're ready to

395
00:20:06,950 --> 00:20:04,679
get uh get out to the pad there's 21

396
00:20:08,450 --> 00:20:06,960
million pounds of Hardware between the

397
00:20:11,149 --> 00:20:08,460
crawler and the mobile launcher and the

398
00:20:13,130 --> 00:20:11,159
Artemis headed out to the pad so we're

399
00:20:14,930 --> 00:20:13,140
ready to go this must be means so much

400
00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:14,940
to your team I mean you guys are in

401
00:20:19,549 --> 00:20:17,280
charge of really everything right talk

402
00:20:21,230 --> 00:20:19,559
to me about what EGS is yeah so EGS

403
00:20:23,090 --> 00:20:21,240
exploration ground systems is one of the

404
00:20:25,250 --> 00:20:23,100
three sister programs that's responsible

405
00:20:27,289 --> 00:20:25,260
for getting us back to the moon and uh

406
00:20:29,450 --> 00:20:27,299
from our standpoint we are responsible

407
00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:29,460
for development of the pad uh the mobile

408
00:20:33,590 --> 00:20:30,840
launcher

409
00:20:35,210 --> 00:20:33,600
um the uh crawler and doing all the

410
00:20:37,250 --> 00:20:35,220
facilities in the ground support

411
00:20:39,169 --> 00:20:37,260
equipment that's responsible for uh

412
00:20:41,210 --> 00:20:39,179
supporting build up and testing of the

413
00:20:42,890 --> 00:20:41,220
rocket so we do that but in addition to

414
00:20:44,630 --> 00:20:42,900
that we're responsible for operations as

415
00:20:47,029 --> 00:20:44,640
far as assembly test and check out of

416
00:20:48,770 --> 00:20:47,039
the rocket we also are responsible for

417
00:20:50,870 --> 00:20:48,780
launching the rocket and then we're also

418
00:20:52,490 --> 00:20:50,880
responsible for Recovery of the crew

419
00:20:54,350 --> 00:20:52,500
module out in the Pacific um after

420
00:20:56,390 --> 00:20:54,360
Splashdown that's a lot so this is the

421
00:20:58,130 --> 00:20:56,400
start of a lot that we are looking

422
00:20:59,990 --> 00:20:58,140
forward to that's wonderful and you know

423
00:21:02,450 --> 00:21:00,000
now the rocket is on its way to Historic

424
00:21:04,909 --> 00:21:02,460
launch pad 39b yeah a lot of Rich

425
00:21:06,950 --> 00:21:04,919
history there right oh absolutely 39b

426
00:21:09,110 --> 00:21:06,960
actually it's where Apollo 10 the

427
00:21:11,750 --> 00:21:09,120
precursor for Apollo 11 the first moon

428
00:21:13,730 --> 00:21:11,760
landing started we've done three Skylab

429
00:21:16,430 --> 00:21:13,740
launches from the there 51 shuttle

430
00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:16,440
launches and also a constellation test

431
00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:18,720
launch so a lot of action has occurred

432
00:21:22,909 --> 00:21:20,880
out there at Pat 39b so it's head Ed up

433
00:21:24,710 --> 00:21:22,919
there for a wet dress rehearsal can you

434
00:21:26,270 --> 00:21:24,720
tell people what that is absolutely a

435
00:21:27,529 --> 00:21:26,280
white dress rehearsal is a major test

436
00:21:30,590 --> 00:21:27,539
for us where we're actually going to

437
00:21:33,110 --> 00:21:30,600
load 700 over 700 000 gallons of

438
00:21:35,390 --> 00:21:33,120
propellant liquid hydrogen liquid oxygen

439
00:21:38,750 --> 00:21:35,400
into both the first and second stages so

440
00:21:40,430 --> 00:21:38,760
the SLS and the icps in this case the

441
00:21:42,409 --> 00:21:40,440
team will run through a countdown so

442
00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:42,419
they'll start about eight hours prior to

443
00:21:46,669 --> 00:21:44,880
what is called t0 and they'll actually

444
00:21:48,409 --> 00:21:46,679
go through their procedures for a

445
00:21:51,110 --> 00:21:48,419
countdown they'll get down below a

446
00:21:53,630 --> 00:21:51,120
minute and they'll recycle that count to

447
00:21:55,549 --> 00:21:53,640
practice that as well up to 10 minutes

448
00:21:57,470 --> 00:21:55,559
and then they'll count back down to less

449
00:21:59,750 --> 00:21:57,480
than 10 seconds or they'll stop the test

450
00:22:02,090 --> 00:21:59,760
and um and that'll be the end of test

451
00:22:04,310 --> 00:22:02,100
drain the vehicle and evaluate the

452
00:22:06,529 --> 00:22:04,320
information and see how we did yeah so

453
00:22:08,570 --> 00:22:06,539
you guys have to have a successful wet

454
00:22:11,210 --> 00:22:08,580
dress rehearsal right before we can

455
00:22:12,890 --> 00:22:11,220
announce a date for Artemis one launch

456
00:22:14,810 --> 00:22:12,900
correct correct so what they'll do

457
00:22:17,029 --> 00:22:14,820
they'll spend a week or two evaluating

458
00:22:18,230 --> 00:22:17,039
data they'll know pretty soon during the

459
00:22:20,750 --> 00:22:18,240
test yeah hey we're meeting our

460
00:22:22,310 --> 00:22:20,760
objectives but it will take probably

461
00:22:24,529 --> 00:22:22,320
um you know one to two weeks before

462
00:22:26,270 --> 00:22:24,539
they'll be ready to say hey the the test

463
00:22:27,470 --> 00:22:26,280
is fully successful and we're ready to

464
00:22:28,789 --> 00:22:27,480
start thinking about setting a launch

465
00:22:34,190 --> 00:22:28,799
date okay

466
00:22:38,270 --> 00:22:36,470
absolutely we're very excited about it

467
00:22:40,010 --> 00:22:38,280
and again this is the next big milestone

468
00:22:41,270 --> 00:22:40,020
for us getting to the moon so yeah well

469
00:22:42,409 --> 00:22:41,280
good luck with everything good luck with

470
00:22:44,210 --> 00:22:42,419
the white dress good luck with the rest

471
00:22:45,830 --> 00:22:44,220
of the rollout and and I'm excited I

472
00:22:47,930 --> 00:22:45,840
hope you are too I am too absolutely

473
00:22:50,210 --> 00:22:47,940
perfect thank you so much I appreciate

474
00:22:52,070 --> 00:22:50,220
it all right we're now about 25 minutes

475
00:22:54,409 --> 00:22:52,080
until rollout and we're seeing more and

476
00:22:57,350 --> 00:22:54,419
more of the crawler the mobile launcher

477
00:22:59,149 --> 00:22:57,360
SLS Orion wow look at that bear what a

478
00:23:00,409 --> 00:22:59,159
beautiful view and I do want to talk a

479
00:23:02,149 --> 00:23:00,419
little bit about the mobile launcher

480
00:23:06,169 --> 00:23:02,159
there that's that structure that you see

481
00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:06,179
that's holding up the rocket and the

482
00:23:11,750 --> 00:23:09,120
capsule so the mobile launcher or ml is

483
00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:11,760
what fully assembled and processed SLS

484
00:23:16,909 --> 00:23:14,159
and Orion the crawler is going to leave

485
00:23:19,630 --> 00:23:16,919
both the ML and the integrated rocket on

486
00:23:22,789 --> 00:23:19,640
the pad because the ml will supply

487
00:23:25,390 --> 00:23:22,799
lsls and Orion with things like power

488
00:23:29,330 --> 00:23:25,400
Communications and fuel before launch

489
00:23:31,970 --> 00:23:29,340
and then SLS will lift off from the ML

490
00:23:33,710 --> 00:23:31,980
and when we fly crew on later Artemis

491
00:23:36,289 --> 00:23:33,720
missions they will use a walkway called

492
00:23:39,770 --> 00:23:36,299
The Crew access arm on the mobile

493
00:23:41,510 --> 00:23:39,780
launcher to get into Orion

494
00:23:43,070 --> 00:23:41,520
now like the crawler there are a lot of

495
00:23:45,649 --> 00:23:43,080
people on the mobile launcher right now

496
00:23:47,570 --> 00:23:45,659
there are about 65 people allowed to be

497
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:47,580
on there during this operation and

498
00:23:52,190 --> 00:23:49,980
they'll go on and off as needed people

499
00:23:54,950 --> 00:23:52,200
like Engineers technicians safety

500
00:23:56,930 --> 00:23:54,960
personnel and the two elevators on the

501
00:23:59,450 --> 00:23:56,940
ml this is really interesting they will

502
00:24:01,490 --> 00:23:59,460
be turned off for this operation so if

503
00:24:04,370 --> 00:24:01,500
anyone needs to go to the very top there

504
00:24:05,990 --> 00:24:04,380
that is going to be quite the walk

505
00:24:08,029 --> 00:24:06,000
all right how about we check back in

506
00:24:10,190 --> 00:24:08,039
with the crowd outside you know we had

507
00:24:13,070 --> 00:24:10,200
some rain yesterday but luckily the

508
00:24:15,289 --> 00:24:13,080
weather today is gorgeous dry sunny

509
00:24:17,930 --> 00:24:15,299
beautiful you know so many people

510
00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:17,940
excited to witness this historic rollout

511
00:24:23,390 --> 00:24:21,600
again I'm told nearly 10 000 people are

512
00:24:25,730 --> 00:24:23,400
out here many of them Kennedy Space

513
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:25,740
Center employees with their family and

514
00:24:33,409 --> 00:24:29,100
friends right now they can see again all

515
00:24:36,590 --> 00:24:33,419
of SLS and Orion and its Glory it's just

516
00:24:40,130 --> 00:24:36,600
a beautiful sight and for those out here

517
00:24:41,990 --> 00:24:40,140
today it is a very lucky and blessed

518
00:24:43,430 --> 00:24:42,000
opportunity to get to see this outside

well good evening Kennedy Space Center

543
00:29:28,909 --> 00:29:26,760
thank you all for joining us for this

544
00:29:31,669 --> 00:29:28,919
historic event and I think an emotional

545
00:29:34,850 --> 00:29:31,679
event for a lot of us out here today I

546
00:29:37,909 --> 00:29:34,860
am so happy that so many joining us

547
00:29:39,889 --> 00:29:37,919
today with our Workforce our loved ones

548
00:29:42,110 --> 00:29:39,899
are joining us out here today as many of

549
00:29:45,110 --> 00:29:42,120
you also have made so many sacrifices

550
00:29:47,389 --> 00:29:45,120
over the years to get to this milestone

551
00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:47,399
this year Kennedy Space Center

552
00:29:53,330 --> 00:29:50,399
celebrates 60 years supporting America's

553
00:29:56,330 --> 00:29:53,340
space program and as we take some time

554
00:29:58,850 --> 00:29:56,340
to reflect on the six Decades of Science

555
00:29:59,870 --> 00:29:58,860
and exploration it really seems fitting

556
00:30:03,470 --> 00:29:59,880
that we

557
00:30:06,049 --> 00:30:03,480
look ahead celebrate this Milestone our

558
00:30:08,870 --> 00:30:06,059
first step to returning to the Moon

559
00:30:11,330 --> 00:30:08,880
you know every single vehicle that has

560
00:30:14,210 --> 00:30:11,340
carried humans beyond the bounds of low

561
00:30:16,610 --> 00:30:14,220
earth orbit has undergone integration

562
00:30:19,789 --> 00:30:16,620
and testing in that vehicle Assembly

563
00:30:21,529 --> 00:30:19,799
Building crawled down this roadway and

564
00:30:22,730 --> 00:30:21,539
launched right here from the Kennedy

565
00:30:25,909 --> 00:30:22,740
Space Center

566
00:30:28,310 --> 00:30:25,919
tonight after years of meticulous

567
00:30:31,549 --> 00:30:28,320
Planning Development

568
00:30:34,070 --> 00:30:31,559
integration testing the space launch

569
00:30:36,289 --> 00:30:34,080
system mated with the Orion spacecraft

570
00:30:38,930 --> 00:30:36,299
will continue this proud tradition

571
00:30:41,149 --> 00:30:38,940
leaving the VAB as you see in front of

572
00:30:44,450 --> 00:30:41,159
you to make its way to the pad for the

573
00:30:46,909 --> 00:30:44,460
very first time and just as all eyes are

574
00:30:49,669 --> 00:30:46,919
on the SLS tonight as it makes its

575
00:30:52,190 --> 00:30:49,679
journey in a few short weeks all eyes

576
00:30:54,169 --> 00:30:52,200
are going to be on the sky as it rocks

577
00:30:56,450 --> 00:30:54,179
the space coast and takes its Maiden

578
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:56,460
flight around the moon and then comes

579
00:30:59,870 --> 00:30:57,480
back

580
00:31:02,149 --> 00:30:59,880
you know 60 years ago Kennedy Space

581
00:31:04,430 --> 00:31:02,159
Center was established to meet the

582
00:31:07,370 --> 00:31:04,440
challenge of Landing a man on the moon

583
00:31:09,590 --> 00:31:07,380
and returning him safely to Earth

584
00:31:12,230 --> 00:31:09,600
through Artemis we will see the first

585
00:31:15,049 --> 00:31:12,240
woman and the first person of color on

586
00:31:17,389 --> 00:31:15,059
the lunar surface will develop and

587
00:31:19,730 --> 00:31:17,399
implement the science necessary for a

588
00:31:22,490 --> 00:31:19,740
long-term human presence in deep space

589
00:31:24,830 --> 00:31:22,500
and we will utilize this knowledge to

590
00:31:28,070 --> 00:31:24,840
prepare for future human missions to

591
00:31:30,649 --> 00:31:28,080
Mars today we honor that Legacy

592
00:31:32,990 --> 00:31:30,659
for those who paved the way before us

593
00:31:35,810 --> 00:31:33,000
and could and and as we blaze a new

594
00:31:38,269 --> 00:31:35,820
Trail and contribute to a new chapter in

595
00:31:39,649 --> 00:31:38,279
our history of our nation and of this

596
00:31:42,110 --> 00:31:39,659
agency

597
00:31:43,909 --> 00:31:42,120
it's now my pleasure to introduce you

598
00:31:46,310 --> 00:31:43,919

represents my home state of Florida for

605
00:32:05,570 --> 00:32:03,779
18 years and in 1986 he flew on the 24th

606
00:32:08,750 --> 00:32:05,580
Flight of the Space Shuttle where he

607
00:32:11,930 --> 00:32:08,760
served as a payload specialist on SDs 61

608
00:32:14,149 --> 00:32:11,940

609
00:32:16,850 --> 00:32:14,159
passion and his commitment to the agency

610
00:32:19,130 --> 00:32:16,860
and its Mission are helping NASA to

611
00:32:21,529 --> 00:32:19,140
continue to advance the frontiers of

612
00:32:24,649 --> 00:32:21,539
knowledge and exploration so please help

613
00:32:32,750 --> 00:32:24,659
me and join in welcoming our NASA

614
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,029
thank you

615
00:32:41,169 --> 00:32:37,250
ladies and gentlemen

616
00:32:44,010 --> 00:32:41,179
the world's most powerful

617
00:32:44,290 --> 00:32:44,020
rocket ever right here

618
00:32:49,850 --> 00:32:44,300
[Music]

619
00:32:57,409 --> 00:32:52,730
and it's back to the moon and then on to

620
00:33:04,850 --> 00:33:00,889
let's hear it for the musicians at the

621
00:33:04,860 --> 00:33:09,289
foreign

622
00:33:15,169 --> 00:33:12,710
I want to give a shout out to the more

623
00:33:17,149 --> 00:33:15,179
than two dozen members of the crawler

624
00:33:21,830 --> 00:33:17,159
transporter team

625
00:33:23,630 --> 00:33:21,840
they are transporting SLS out to the

626
00:33:27,470 --> 00:33:23,640
launch pad

627
00:33:29,870 --> 00:33:27,480
and the team is led by Bob Myers who is

628
00:33:33,649 --> 00:33:29,880
at the wheel of the crawler

629
00:33:35,750 --> 00:33:33,659
Across the Nation are sacred sites that

630
00:33:36,950 --> 00:33:35,760
capture the spirit of America's

631
00:33:39,350 --> 00:33:36,960
character

632
00:33:42,049 --> 00:33:39,360
and one of those places is right here

633
00:33:44,889 --> 00:33:42,059
the Kennedy Space Center

634
00:33:48,250 --> 00:33:44,899
at these launch pads remarkable

635
00:33:52,190 --> 00:33:48,260
individuals achieve Unthinkable things

636
00:33:55,789 --> 00:33:52,200
and 60 years ago an American Pioneer

637
00:33:58,730 --> 00:33:55,799
propelled upwards to the heavens from

638
00:34:03,289 --> 00:33:58,740
launch complex 14.

639
00:34:07,930 --> 00:34:03,299
and that legendary Explorer is John

640
00:34:12,169 --> 00:34:07,940
Glenn that spacecraft friendship seven

641
00:34:14,990 --> 00:34:12,179
orbited the Earth three times

642
00:34:18,470 --> 00:34:15,000
and that was the day that America's

643
00:34:21,050 --> 00:34:18,480
Space Program went Full Throttle

644
00:34:23,450 --> 00:34:21,060
it gave way to the Apollo generation

645
00:34:26,089 --> 00:34:23,460
that generation not only landed the

646
00:34:30,430 --> 00:34:26,099
first humans on the moon

647
00:34:33,889 --> 00:34:30,440
it provided the spark that fuels today's

648
00:34:36,950 --> 00:34:33,899
multi-billion dollar satellite industry

649
00:34:40,730 --> 00:34:36,960
it encouraged young Visionaries and

650
00:34:45,649 --> 00:34:40,740
kicked off a technology Revolution

651
00:34:49,010 --> 00:34:45,659
the modern Computing era is one example

652
00:34:51,669 --> 00:34:49,020
and we are very privileged to have one

653
00:34:54,909 --> 00:34:51,679
of those Apollo Astronauts with us

654
00:35:05,810 --> 00:34:54,919
General Tom Stafford

655
00:35:11,930 --> 00:35:08,630
today a new generation

656
00:35:15,290 --> 00:35:11,940
not the Apollo generation but it's the

657
00:35:17,150 --> 00:35:15,300
Artemis generation is preparing to reach

658
00:35:20,510 --> 00:35:17,160
New Frontiers

659
00:35:23,990 --> 00:35:20,520
this generation will return astronauts

660
00:35:26,089 --> 00:35:24,000
to the moon and this time we will land

661
00:35:28,609 --> 00:35:26,099
the first woman and the first person of

662
00:35:30,890 --> 00:35:28,619
color on the surface to conduct

663
00:35:34,190 --> 00:35:30,900
groundbreaking science

664
00:35:37,849 --> 00:35:34,200
NASA's Artemis program will pave the way

665
00:35:40,670 --> 00:35:37,859
for Humanity's giant leap

666
00:35:42,770 --> 00:35:40,680
future missions to Mars

667
00:35:46,430 --> 00:35:42,780
there's no doubt

668
00:35:50,329 --> 00:35:46,440
that we are in a golden era of human

669
00:35:52,910 --> 00:35:50,339
space exploration Discovery and

670
00:35:56,390 --> 00:35:52,920
Ingenuity in space

671
00:35:59,030 --> 00:35:56,400
and it all begins with Artemis one

672
00:36:02,329 --> 00:35:59,040
the space launch system is the only

673
00:36:03,770 --> 00:36:02,339
rocket capable of sending humans into

674
00:36:06,530 --> 00:36:03,780
deep space

675
00:36:10,270 --> 00:36:06,540
it's the most powerful rocket in the

676
00:36:14,089 --> 00:36:10,280
world and during liftoff it will produce

677
00:36:18,710 --> 00:36:14,099
8.8 million pounds of thrust propelling

678
00:36:20,690 --> 00:36:18,720
the Orion spacecraft about 240 000 miles

679
00:36:24,109 --> 00:36:20,700
to the Moon

680
00:36:27,230 --> 00:36:24,119
and Orion will venture farther than any

681
00:36:30,230 --> 00:36:27,240
spacecraft built for humans that has

682
00:36:33,710 --> 00:36:30,240
ever flown humans it will stay in space

683
00:36:37,190 --> 00:36:33,720
longer than any spacecraft designed for

684
00:36:40,370 --> 00:36:37,200
astronauts that has ever done without

685
00:36:44,569 --> 00:36:40,380
docking to a space station

686
00:36:48,010 --> 00:36:44,579
and after a three-week journey of over

687
00:36:52,010 --> 00:36:48,020
a million miles Orion will come home

688
00:36:53,210 --> 00:36:52,020
faster and hotter than any vehicle has

689
00:36:56,150 --> 00:36:53,220
before

690
00:36:57,770 --> 00:36:56,160
and it wouldn't be possible without all

691
00:37:00,589 --> 00:36:57,780
of you here today

692
00:37:02,329 --> 00:37:00,599
we are joined by thousands of members of

693
00:37:05,690 --> 00:37:02,339
the NASA family

694
00:37:07,130 --> 00:37:05,700
it's because of you that we are here

695
00:37:11,210 --> 00:37:07,140
today

696
00:37:12,849 --> 00:37:11,220
our Workforce has been a Relentless

697
00:37:15,170 --> 00:37:12,859
spirit

698
00:37:16,849 --> 00:37:15,180
we imagine

699
00:37:19,849 --> 00:37:16,859
we build

700
00:37:21,589 --> 00:37:19,859
we never stop pushing the envelope of

701
00:37:24,230 --> 00:37:21,599
what is possible

702
00:37:26,510 --> 00:37:24,240
I often say

703
00:37:31,190 --> 00:37:26,520
that at NASA

704
00:37:33,770 --> 00:37:31,200
The Impossible is made possible

705
00:37:37,670 --> 00:37:33,780
Artemis one will demonstrate NASA's

706
00:37:40,010 --> 00:37:37,680
commission commitment to and capacity to

707
00:37:43,370 --> 00:37:40,020
extend Humanity's presence on the moon

708
00:37:47,150 --> 00:37:43,380
and Beyond but this mission is not just

709
00:37:49,730 --> 00:37:47,160
cementing NASA's leadership in space

710
00:37:52,490 --> 00:37:49,740
it's strengthening America's small

711
00:37:56,270 --> 00:37:52,500
businesses it's supporting America's

712
00:37:59,810 --> 00:37:56,280
universities it's showing the might of

713
00:38:01,430 --> 00:37:59,820
America's scientists mathematicians and

714
00:38:04,130 --> 00:38:01,440
technicians

715
00:38:07,910 --> 00:38:04,140
Artemis one is possible

716
00:38:09,349 --> 00:38:07,920
because of the contributions from all 50

717
00:38:12,170 --> 00:38:09,359
states

718
00:38:15,829 --> 00:38:12,180
the program is an economic engine for

719
00:38:17,630 --> 00:38:15,839
America in 2019 alone it generated 14

720
00:38:21,230 --> 00:38:17,640
billion dollars

721
00:38:23,329 --> 00:38:21,240
and supported 70 000 good paying jobs

722
00:38:26,990 --> 00:38:23,339
across the country

723
00:38:30,290 --> 00:38:27,000
but to lead in the 21st century

724
00:38:33,530 --> 00:38:30,300
America must not go alone

725
00:38:36,829 --> 00:38:33,540
we must accomplish our goals together

726
00:38:39,290 --> 00:38:36,839
Artemis represents Global Ambitions and

727
00:38:41,150 --> 00:38:39,300
participation from five International

728
00:38:44,089 --> 00:38:41,160
partners

729
00:38:47,329 --> 00:38:44,099
the European space agency provides the

730
00:38:51,490 --> 00:38:47,339
European service module the PowerHouse

731
00:38:54,770 --> 00:38:51,500
of the Orion spacecraft that provides

732
00:38:59,930 --> 00:38:54,780
electricity propulsion thermal control

733
00:39:03,349 --> 00:38:59,940
air water to Orion in space

734
00:39:05,990 --> 00:39:03,359
this is a critical partnership that not

735
00:39:08,450 --> 00:39:06,000
just for Artemis one but for the future

736
00:39:10,670 --> 00:39:08,460
Artemis missions as well

737
00:39:12,050 --> 00:39:10,680
and that's just the beginning

738
00:39:14,210 --> 00:39:12,060
thanks to the international

739
00:39:18,770 --> 00:39:14,220
collaboration

740
00:39:20,109 --> 00:39:18,780
three so-called passengers will fly on

741
00:39:24,770 --> 00:39:20,119
Orion

742
00:39:27,109 --> 00:39:24,780
Zohar and Helga named by the Israel

Center are two female mannequins

745
00:39:37,730 --> 00:39:34,380
their jobs are to provide data on

746
00:39:41,089 --> 00:39:37,740
radiation levels during the mission

747
00:39:44,089 --> 00:39:41,099
the third passenger is a male mannequin

748
00:39:47,450 --> 00:39:44,099
whose name was decided by more than 300

749
00:39:51,770 --> 00:39:47,460
000 people in a naming contest

750
00:39:53,870 --> 00:39:51,780
and his name is Commander moonachin

751
00:40:00,010 --> 00:39:53,880
Campos

752
00:40:03,290 --> 00:40:00,020
the late member of the NASA family

753
00:40:06,910 --> 00:40:03,300
Arturo helped bring the crew of Apollo

754
00:40:10,030 --> 00:40:06,920
13 safely back to Earth

755
00:40:13,490 --> 00:40:10,040
and a surprise

756
00:40:16,010 --> 00:40:13,500
Snoopy and his orange spacesuit will

757
00:40:18,230 --> 00:40:16,020
hitch a ride

758
00:40:21,170 --> 00:40:18,240
we're also taking advantage of

759
00:40:25,190 --> 00:40:21,180
additional space on SLS to launch

760
00:40:28,250 --> 00:40:25,200
several cubesats in cooperation with the

761
00:40:31,270 --> 00:40:28,260
Japan's Aerospace Exploration Agency and

762
00:40:34,490 --> 00:40:31,280
the Italian space agency

763
00:40:37,870 --> 00:40:34,500
Humanity's drive to explore the cosmos

764
00:40:41,270 --> 00:40:37,880
is not bound by border

765
00:40:46,130 --> 00:40:41,280
Discovery strengthens diplomacy

766
00:40:49,430 --> 00:40:46,140
this Mission this program will build a

767
00:40:51,650 --> 00:40:49,440
Global Alliance that explores deep space

768
00:40:54,770 --> 00:40:51,660
for the benefit of all

769
00:40:56,210 --> 00:40:54,780
and of course Artemis one will be a

770
00:40:59,870 --> 00:40:56,220
major step

771
00:41:03,349 --> 00:40:59,880
but our journey is far from over

772
00:41:05,990 --> 00:41:03,359
this will be the first in a series of

773
00:41:09,770 --> 00:41:06,000
increasingly complex missions

774
00:41:10,690 --> 00:41:09,780
in 2024 for the first time since Apollo

775
00:41:13,130 --> 00:41:10,700
8

776
00:41:14,930 --> 00:41:13,140
astronauts will return to the moon on

777
00:41:19,190 --> 00:41:14,940
Artemis 2.

778
00:41:23,030 --> 00:41:19,200
the astronauts will uh will fly in lunar

779
00:41:26,329 --> 00:41:23,040
orbit venturing farther into space than

780
00:41:29,270 --> 00:41:26,339
any humans have ever before

781
00:41:31,250 --> 00:41:29,280
and these are not a series of isolated

782
00:41:35,569 --> 00:41:31,260
missions each

783
00:41:39,530 --> 00:41:35,579
will be a groundbreaking complement and

784
00:41:43,609 --> 00:41:39,540
component to build the presence on and

785
00:41:45,710 --> 00:41:43,619
around the moon and eventually Beyond

786
00:41:50,750 --> 00:41:45,720
and none of this is easy

787
00:41:54,370 --> 00:41:50,760
nothing NASA dares to achieve ever is

788
00:41:58,970 --> 00:41:54,380
but as we have shown with this pandemic

789
00:42:02,569 --> 00:41:58,980
NASA knows how to press forward

790
00:42:05,030 --> 00:42:02,579
Artemis personifies why NASA needs

791
00:42:08,690 --> 00:42:05,040
continuity of purpose

792
00:42:10,430 --> 00:42:08,700
our missions have not achieved and were

793
00:42:12,050 --> 00:42:10,440
not achieved just by a single

794
00:42:18,530 --> 00:42:12,060
Administration

795
00:42:21,109 --> 00:42:18,540
and I'm proud President Biden has shown

796
00:42:24,890 --> 00:42:21,119
strong support for these missions

797
00:42:27,950 --> 00:42:24,900
and every breakthrough should be seen as

798
00:42:29,089 --> 00:42:27,960
a Triumph for our country and all of

799
00:42:31,910 --> 00:42:29,099
humanity

800
00:42:32,750 --> 00:42:31,920
and when the next humans walk on the

801
00:42:35,870 --> 00:42:32,760
moon

802
00:42:39,530 --> 00:42:35,880
I hope that every single child around

803
00:42:43,150 --> 00:42:39,540
the world I hope they see themselves in

804
00:42:45,970 --> 00:42:43,160
this new generation of explorers

805
00:42:48,950 --> 00:42:45,980
NASA's history has become

806
00:42:50,870 --> 00:42:48,960
intertwined with the never-ending

807
00:42:53,930 --> 00:42:50,880
American story

808
00:42:55,309 --> 00:42:53,940
the sky has never been the limit for

809
00:42:58,309 --> 00:42:55,319
NASA

810
00:43:01,550 --> 00:42:58,319
this is our opportunity to make

811
00:43:03,710 --> 00:43:01,560
Limitless potential of every American

812
00:43:05,990 --> 00:43:03,720
it's past time

813
00:43:08,530 --> 00:43:06,000
to bring down the barriers that limit

814
00:43:11,630 --> 00:43:08,540
opportunity in underserved and

815
00:43:16,309 --> 00:43:11,640
underrepresented communities it's time

816
00:43:19,550 --> 00:43:16,319
to Anchor fairness as a core in every

817
00:43:23,270 --> 00:43:19,560
component in every NASA mission

818
00:43:25,870 --> 00:43:23,280
Artemis missions should show every child

819
00:43:31,069 --> 00:43:25,880
that they can dream it

820
00:43:34,309 --> 00:43:31,079
if they can dream it they can be it

821
00:43:37,490 --> 00:43:34,319
and perhaps they will one day join the

822
00:43:39,050 --> 00:43:37,500
NASA family as a technician or a

823
00:43:41,450 --> 00:43:39,060
mathematician

824
00:43:44,870 --> 00:43:41,460
maybe they'll walk on the moon

825
00:43:47,030 --> 00:43:44,880
or be the Pioneers who Venture onward to

826
00:43:50,930 --> 00:43:47,040
Mars

827
00:43:54,770 --> 00:43:50,940
this is what NASA does best

828
00:43:57,170 --> 00:43:54,780
we unify we discover

829
00:44:00,109 --> 00:43:57,180
we inspire

830
00:44:01,329 --> 00:44:00,119
and from this sacred and historical

831
00:44:05,089 --> 00:44:01,339
place

832
00:44:06,890 --> 00:44:05,099
Humanity will soon embark on a new era

833
00:44:11,510 --> 00:44:06,900
of exploration

834
00:44:12,710 --> 00:44:11,520
aboard this spacecraft will be a flash

835
00:44:15,650 --> 00:44:12,720
drive

836
00:44:18,410 --> 00:44:15,660
it will hold the names of over a million

837
00:44:21,650 --> 00:44:18,420
individuals from around the world

838
00:44:22,849 --> 00:44:21,660
that flash drive will contain more than

839
00:44:27,530 --> 00:44:22,859
names

840
00:44:29,990 --> 00:44:27,540
it will represent our stories Who We Are

841
00:44:31,970 --> 00:44:30,000
the child who imagines themselves

842
00:44:34,609 --> 00:44:31,980
soaring in the skies

843
00:44:36,890 --> 00:44:34,619
the student who burns the midnight oil

844
00:44:40,130 --> 00:44:36,900
at the library so they can build a

845
00:44:42,230 --> 00:44:40,140
rocket and a spacecraft like this one

846
00:44:45,589 --> 00:44:42,240
the NASA employee

847
00:44:48,710 --> 00:44:45,599
who gazes up at the Moon every night

848
00:44:52,970 --> 00:44:48,720
knowing that their work will soon return

849
00:44:57,290 --> 00:44:52,980
humankind to the lunar surface

850
00:45:00,530 --> 00:44:57,300
and when this monster rocket lifts off

851
00:45:02,809 --> 00:45:00,540
it will carry all of our greatest hopes

852
00:45:05,390 --> 00:45:02,819
in the heavens

853
00:45:08,150 --> 00:45:05,400
every single person who dreams of

854
00:45:09,530 --> 00:45:08,160
discoveries will see many more In Our

855
00:45:12,530 --> 00:45:09,540
Lifetime

856
00:45:16,250 --> 00:45:12,540

00:47:49,790 --> 00:47:47,160
just unveiled our brand new moon rocket

880
00:47:52,730 --> 00:47:49,800
which you see right there poised outside

881
00:47:55,190 --> 00:47:52,740
of the Vehicle Assembly Building for the

882
00:47:57,290 --> 00:47:55,200
first time ever right I'm very very

883
00:47:59,510 --> 00:47:57,300
excited about it NASA's space launch

884
00:48:01,910 --> 00:47:59,520
system or SLS is the most powerful

885
00:48:04,730 --> 00:48:01,920
rocket in the world and sitting on top

886
00:48:07,609 --> 00:48:04,740
is the new Orion capsule that will fly

887
00:48:11,270 --> 00:48:07,619
us back to the Moon the last time a moon

888
00:48:15,589 --> 00:48:11,280
rocket rolled out of the VAB was in 1972

889
00:48:17,809 --> 00:48:15,599
50 years ago for Apollo 17. once Artemis

890
00:48:20,210 --> 00:48:17,819
1 proves we are ready to put humans in

891
00:48:21,829 --> 00:48:20,220
Orion this person right here may be one

892
00:48:23,450 --> 00:48:21,839
of those astronauts lucky you Victor

893
00:48:25,010 --> 00:48:23,460
Victor Glover everyone thank you for

894
00:48:26,390 --> 00:48:25,020

00:48:29,870 --> 00:48:28,319
take a look right here this Rocket's

897
00:48:31,430 --> 00:48:29,880
almost out of view so it's on its way

898
00:48:33,290 --> 00:48:31,440
it's going that's what we came here for

899

know honestly the most important thing

901
00:48:38,030 --> 00:48:36,180
that I can say is I'm just really happy

902
00:48:39,349 --> 00:48:38,040
for all the folks who worked hard to

903
00:48:40,609 --> 00:48:39,359
make this a reality and I'm here to

904
00:48:42,410 --> 00:48:40,619
celebrate with them and also to

905
00:48:43,670 --> 00:48:42,420

906
00:48:46,490 --> 00:48:43,680
found out that you were going to be here

907
00:48:47,690 --> 00:48:46,500
for a rollout were you like yes I was

908
00:48:49,490 --> 00:48:47,700
going to be here for a rollout no matter

909
00:48:51,829 --> 00:48:49,500
what if I had to pay for my own ticket

910
00:48:54,530 --> 00:48:51,839
but uh yeah when I would have found out

911
00:48:56,089 --> 00:48:54,540
I get to do this I was like yes it is

912
00:48:58,130 --> 00:48:56,099
it's just a special place for me I love

913
00:48:59,510 --> 00:48:58,140
Kennedy Space Center and especially when

914
00:49:01,970 --> 00:48:59,520
there's a rocket out on the crawler way

915
00:49:04,190 --> 00:49:01,980
yeah just seeing the rocket here does it

916
00:49:06,650 --> 00:49:04,200
make the Artemis Mission seem more real

917
00:49:07,970 --> 00:49:06,660
always always there's there's you know

918
00:49:09,770 --> 00:49:07,980
in the astronaut office we tell people

919
00:49:11,510 --> 00:49:09,780
hey if you ever have a chance to go see

920
00:49:13,430 --> 00:49:11,520
space flight Hardware go do it doesn't

921
00:49:14,630 --> 00:49:13,440
matter what it's for go see it uh it

922
00:49:16,970 --> 00:49:14,640
helps you do your job better and that's

923
00:49:19,250 --> 00:49:16,980
absolutely true today I've seen a lot of

924
00:49:20,630 --> 00:49:19,260
you know uh PowerPoint slides and read a

925
00:49:22,370 --> 00:49:20,640
lot of briefings about this but to see

926
00:49:24,349 --> 00:49:22,380
it all stacked on the mobile launcher on

927
00:49:26,210 --> 00:49:24,359
the crawler transporter it just makes it

928
00:49:27,650 --> 00:49:26,220
so much more real oh absolutely and you

929
00:49:29,870 --> 00:49:27,660
know you're again one of the lucky few

930
00:49:32,270 --> 00:49:29,880
18 astronauts were chosen for the

931
00:49:34,670 --> 00:49:32,280
Artemis team how does it feel to be part

932
00:49:36,470 --> 00:49:34,680
of that team honestly you know what I

933
00:49:39,109 --> 00:49:36,480
I've talked to folks a lot about this

934
00:49:41,270 --> 00:49:39,119
today and when when we make that call

935
00:49:43,250 --> 00:49:41,280
for Artemis 2 when we tell the crew

936
00:49:44,630 --> 00:49:43,260
that's your go for translunar injection

937
00:49:47,630 --> 00:49:44,640
you know we're saying hey everything is

938
00:49:49,309 --> 00:49:47,640
good go to the Moon whatever position

939
00:49:51,890 --> 00:49:49,319
I'm in whether it's at home on my couch

940
00:49:53,930 --> 00:49:51,900
whether I'm on the Houston side of that

941
00:49:56,030 --> 00:49:53,940
call or if I'm in space on that side of

942
00:49:57,890 --> 00:49:56,040
the call it it doesn't matter you know

943
00:49:59,630 --> 00:49:57,900
to be a little part of this and and to

944
00:50:01,970 --> 00:49:59,640
get to help in any way is really truly

945
00:50:03,410 --> 00:50:01,980
an honor and so uh the whole Artemis

946
00:50:06,230 --> 00:50:03,420
team and really the entire astronaut

947
00:50:07,910 --> 00:50:06,240
office it's all all of us are you know

948
00:50:09,589 --> 00:50:07,920
honored to be able to help out and make

949
00:50:11,690 --> 00:50:09,599
this hardware and software a reality so

950
00:50:13,730 --> 00:50:11,700
I'm excited for whoever gets to do it

951
00:50:16,430 --> 00:50:13,740
and uh whatever part of that call I get

952
00:50:17,990 --> 00:50:16,440
to be on I'm excited uh for you know the

953
00:50:19,790 --> 00:50:18,000
crew that actually gets to go when they

954
00:50:21,650 --> 00:50:19,800
go I'll be excited for them excited are

955
00:50:23,210 --> 00:50:21,660
you also anxious I mean the Moon is a

956
00:50:25,250 --> 00:50:23,220
lot farther than the ISS and I know

957
00:50:26,750 --> 00:50:25,260
you've been to the ISS absolutely and

958
00:50:28,190 --> 00:50:26,760
that's a good point you know it's uh a

959
00:50:30,950 --> 00:50:28,200
thousand times farther right the ISS

960
00:50:32,750 --> 00:50:30,960
orbits at 250 miles the moon's 240 000

961
00:50:34,190 --> 00:50:32,760
miles away and so it's interesting I

962
00:50:35,690 --> 00:50:34,200
like to say it's not just a thousand

963
00:50:37,430 --> 00:50:35,700
times farther but it's probably a

964
00:50:39,170 --> 00:50:37,440
thousand times more complicated of a

965
00:50:41,630 --> 00:50:39,180
mission so many more things have to go

966
00:50:43,190 --> 00:50:41,640
right and it's also when we add Artemis

967
00:50:44,630 --> 00:50:43,200
3 and we're going to the surface now you

968
00:50:46,549 --> 00:50:44,640
have to get from the surface of the Moon

969
00:50:47,990 --> 00:50:46,559
back to lunar orbit which is like the

970
00:50:50,270 --> 00:50:48,000
equivalent of launching a low earth

971
00:50:52,130 --> 00:50:50,280
orbit Mission uh from Earth so very

972
00:50:54,349 --> 00:50:52,140
complicated Mission and and so we have a

973
00:50:55,910 --> 00:50:54,359
lot of work ahead of us but but you know

974
00:50:57,589 --> 00:50:55,920
we're going to get it done and and uh

975
00:50:59,150 --> 00:50:57,599
it'll be all starting with this one with

976
00:51:00,770 --> 00:50:59,160
Artemis one what do you think of the

977
00:51:02,930 --> 00:51:00,780
fact everything that you to subscribe

978
00:51:05,150 --> 00:51:02,940
seems no pun intended out of this world

979
00:51:07,370 --> 00:51:05,160
and the fact that thousands of people

980
00:51:10,430 --> 00:51:07,380
from across the globe came together to

981
00:51:13,609 --> 00:51:10,440
make this today a reality and that we're

982
00:51:16,309 --> 00:51:13,619
on the path to the Moon to Mars how how

983
00:51:17,930 --> 00:51:16,319
do you feel about that that is a really

984
00:51:19,670 --> 00:51:17,940
big part of this that's what's special

985
00:51:21,230 --> 00:51:19,680
someone asked me earlier talking about

986
00:51:22,849 --> 00:51:21,240
being part of the Artemis team they said

987
00:51:24,349 --> 00:51:22,859
hey how does it feel you know to watch

988
00:51:26,210 --> 00:51:24,359
your rocket and I said well look

989
00:51:28,690 --> 00:51:26,220
correction I mean this is our rocket

990
00:51:31,490 --> 00:51:28,700
it's Humanity's rocket when those four

991
00:51:33,290 --> 00:51:31,500
rs-25s and those two solids light I hope

992
00:51:34,609 --> 00:51:33,300
the whole world is watching uh and I

993
00:51:36,589 --> 00:51:34,619
hope a lot of kids decide to study

994
00:51:38,270 --> 00:51:36,599
science and math uh because of it and

995
00:51:40,370 --> 00:51:38,280
that's really what it's about inspiring

996
00:51:42,829 --> 00:51:40,380
kids to go out and be their best selves

997
00:51:44,809 --> 00:51:42,839
and so I am excited because this is a

998
00:51:47,270 --> 00:51:44,819
great step for Humanity we call things

999
00:51:48,829 --> 00:51:47,280
that humans come together to do you know

1000
00:51:50,510 --> 00:51:48,839
when we put aside our differences and we

1001
00:51:52,490 --> 00:51:50,520
accomplish great things we call them

1002
00:51:53,750 --> 00:51:52,500
Moon shots you know but it's it's been a

1003
00:51:55,370 --> 00:51:53,760
long time since we've actually made a

1004
00:51:57,589 --> 00:51:55,380
moonshot so our generation now has a

1005
00:51:59,030 --> 00:51:57,599
chance to have our own actual moonshots

1006
00:52:01,010 --> 00:51:59,040
yeah hearing you talk about it just

1007
00:52:02,750 --> 00:52:01,020
makes me so excited you know just your

1008
00:52:04,250 --> 00:52:02,760
passion for this program and what's to

1009
00:52:05,750 --> 00:52:04,260
come thank you so much for sharing that

1010
00:52:07,370 --> 00:52:05,760

00:52:18,589 --> 00:52:15,900
of NASA's brand new moon rocket you know

1016
00:52:21,370 --> 00:52:18,599
we're an hour into this we still have 10

1017
00:52:24,829 --> 00:52:21,380
more to go until the crawler reaches pad

1018
00:52:26,690 --> 00:52:24,839
39b it will stay on the pad until the

1019
00:52:29,690 --> 00:52:26,700
wet dress rehearsal the first week in

1020
00:52:32,809 --> 00:52:29,700
April and if all goes well the launch

1021
00:52:34,309 --> 00:52:32,819
team will set a date for Artemis one if

1022

Mars because we are curious we are

1044
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:32,839
