well good afternoon and thank you for

10
00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:35,599
joining us here today at kennedy's space

11
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:38,400
center america's spaceport

12
00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:40,560
you know 60 years ago kennedy was

13
00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:42,319
established to meet the challenge of

14
00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:44,239
landing a human on the moon and

15
00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:46,400
returning him safely to earth

16
00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:49,040
and for the last six decades kennedy has

17
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:51,680
supported america's space program and

18
00:03:57,030 --> 00:03:54,640
launched the dreams of our nation

19
00:03:59,110 --> 00:03:57,040
today we look ahead to the future and

20
00:04:02,390 --> 00:03:59,120
the exciting work that nasa is carrying

21
00:04:04,949 --> 00:04:02,400
out as we explore our universe

22
00:04:07,870 --> 00:04:04,959
please join me now in welcoming our nasa

23
00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:07,880
administrator bill nelson

24
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:15,670
good afternoon everybody

25
00:04:20,870 --> 00:04:17,840
everybody are you ready are you ready

26
00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:20,880
for this are you ready for that out

27
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:21,840
there

28
00:04:28,230 --> 00:04:24,960
on pad 39b

29
00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:28,240
welcome to the kennedy space center

30
00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:31,360
two weeks ago it was that we were right

31
00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:34,479
here and our eyes were fixed on this

32
00:04:38,990 --> 00:04:38,160
iconic american building

33
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:39,000
the

34
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:42,960
322 foot mega moon rocket

35
00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:46,720
it began inching its way out of that big

36
00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:49,360
vehicle assembly building

37
00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:51,919
and from there the crawler transported

38
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:52,639
it

39
00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:54,800
four miles out there

40
00:04:59,909 --> 00:04:57,120
to the launch pad

41
00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:59,919
and soon it will undergo the final

42
00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:01,120
testing

43
00:05:10,230 --> 00:05:05,520
before its first flight around the moon

44
00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:10,240
artemis one's journey from high bay 3 to

45
00:05:17,909 --> 00:05:14,479
the pad is symbolic of our work

46
00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:17,919
the meticulous planning the late nights

47
00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:20,720
the relentless spirit

48
00:05:26,469 --> 00:05:23,120
keep pushing forward

49
00:05:27,749 --> 00:05:26,479
and that's what nasa does best

50
00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:27,759
that's what

51
00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:30,320
we do best

52
00:05:40,150 --> 00:05:37,430
that opening video showed how our agency

53
00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:40,160
is inventing groundbreaking technology

54
00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:43,919
how it's igniting imaginations

55
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:48,240
and it's inspiring future generations

56
00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:50,160
we're having this discussion today

57
00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:52,479
because president biden and his

58
00:05:57,510 --> 00:05:54,080
administration

59
00:05:59,670 --> 00:05:57,520
released this budget request and it came

60
00:06:03,189 --> 00:05:59,680
this morning

61
00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:03,199
and nasa's 26 billion dollar

62
00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:07,680
fiscal year budget for twenty three

63
00:06:12,550 --> 00:06:10,720
it's a request from the president

64
00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:12,560
from us

65
00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:15,520
and it is a significant increase over

66
00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:17,440
last year's budget

67
00:06:21,830 --> 00:06:20,720
in fact it's eight percent more than the

68
00:06:23,749 --> 00:06:21,840
enacted

69
00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:23,759
federal spending levels the

70
00:06:29,029 --> 00:06:25,600
appropriation bill

71
00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:29,039
from fiscal year 22.

72
00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:32,880
it's the largest request for science

73
00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:35,680
in nasa history

74
00:06:41,270 --> 00:06:38,960
but greater than any number or statistic

75
00:06:43,029 --> 00:06:41,280
or a fact

76
00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:43,039
is what this budget

77
00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:46,400
request represents

78
00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:48,800
it's a signal of support of our missions

79
00:06:53,749 --> 00:06:51,280
in a new era of exploration and

80
00:06:57,430 --> 00:06:53,759
discovery

81
00:07:00,309 --> 00:06:57,440
it's an investment in the business

82
00:07:03,270 --> 00:07:00,319
and the corporations

83
00:07:05,909 --> 00:07:03,280
and the universities

84
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:05,919
that all partner with nasa

85
00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:09,440
in all 50 states

86
00:07:15,749 --> 00:07:13,120
and by the way good pay good paying jobs

87
00:07:17,830 --> 00:07:15,759
that they create

88
00:07:20,309 --> 00:07:17,840
it's going to help our nation

89
00:07:23,990 --> 00:07:20,319
it's going to help the world

90
00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:24,000
it's going to address climate change

91
00:07:28,830 --> 00:07:27,360
and it underscores stem education and it

92
00:07:32,230 --> 00:07:28,840
promotes

93
00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:32,240
diversity and equity

94
00:07:37,589 --> 00:07:34,960
and it expresses confidence

95
00:07:41,270 --> 00:07:37,599
in this extraordinary workforce that we

96
00:07:45,589 --> 00:07:42,629
you know it

97
00:07:48,309 --> 00:07:45,599
the best place in the federal government

98
00:07:52,710 --> 00:07:50,070
now the pandemic

99
00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:52,720
it really challenged us

100
00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:54,720
challenged us unlike anything ever

101
00:07:58,550 --> 00:07:55,919
before

102
00:08:00,230 --> 00:07:58,560
it challenged us personally with our

103
00:08:04,629 --> 00:08:00,240
families

104
00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:06,070
and during

105
00:08:11,830 --> 00:08:08,560
the period of covid

106
00:08:13,990 --> 00:08:11,840
the nasa family never

107
00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:14,000
missed a beat

108
00:08:18,309 --> 00:08:16,800
never stop giving hope to the country

109
00:08:22,550 --> 00:08:18,319
that we serve

110
00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:25,510
your relentless spirit to keep pushing

111
00:08:32,389 --> 00:08:28,639
forward your perseverance

112
00:08:34,949 --> 00:08:32,399
it inspired nasa's new vision statement

113
00:08:37,589 --> 00:08:34,959
this time we took it seriously what the

114
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:37,599
vision statement is

115
00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:40,000
exploring the secrets of the universe

116
00:08:45,269 --> 00:08:43,039
for the benefit of all

117
00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:45,279
it's that vision that will guide our

118
00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:50,710
so

119
00:08:57,509 --> 00:08:55,279
what are we doing and what have we done

120
00:08:58,790 --> 00:08:57,519
we launched the most powerful telescope

121
00:09:01,350 --> 00:08:58,800
ever built

122
00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:01,360
the webb telescope had the world on the

123
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,509
during the million-mile voyage

124
00:09:17,670 --> 00:09:14,870
344 single points of failure

125
00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:17,680
skeptics focused in on everything that

126
00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:20,480
could go wrong but oh what a science

127
00:09:26,710 --> 00:09:22,880
team we have nasa

128
00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:26,720
and they poured everything into it

129
00:09:30,949 --> 00:09:29,040
and it worked

130
00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:30,959
and it's worked so far

131
00:09:36,230 --> 00:09:34,560
even better than planned

132
00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:36,240
this summer we're going to see the first

133
00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:38,080
images i've seen

134
00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:40,800
and you all have as well

135
00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:44,000
the first target star

136
00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:45,360
and what we're going to see in the

137
00:09:51,750 --> 00:09:48,240
images that are coming is revealing the

138
00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:51,760
stars in the galaxies

139
00:09:59,030 --> 00:09:55,360
that happened to form the first galaxy

140
00:10:02,630 --> 00:09:59,040
thirteen and a half billion years ago

141
00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:02,640
just after the beginning

142
00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:04,959
think about that

143
00:10:09,670 --> 00:10:07,440
light traveling

144
00:10:15,509 --> 00:10:09,680
at the speed of light

145
00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:20,470
that's what we're going to capture

146
00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:22,630
look also what else we've done we've

147
00:10:27,190 --> 00:10:24,720
extended the commitment to the

148
00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:27,200
international space station operations

149
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:30,240
through 2030

150
00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:32,640
and this decision empowers nasa to

151
00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:35,440
continue conducting groundbreaking

152
00:10:39,030 --> 00:10:36,720
research

153
00:10:41,509 --> 00:10:39,040
and collaborating with our international

154
00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:41,519
partners

155
00:10:48,550 --> 00:10:45,360
astronaut mark vande high is coming home

156
00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:48,560
wednesday day after tomorrow

157
00:10:52,470 --> 00:10:50,560
and he's coming home with his russian

158
00:10:57,150 --> 00:10:52,480
crew

159
00:11:02,150 --> 00:10:57,160
and we and he will celebrate a historic

160
00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:05,190
and for the safety of our astronauts

161
00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:07,600
the working relationship between nasa

162
00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:10,640
and our international partners continues

163
00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:13,120
and that includes the professional

164
00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:14,720
relationship

165
00:11:21,509 --> 00:11:17,120
between the cosmonauts and our

166
00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:22,790
and soon

167
00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:26,880
we're going back to the moon as artemis

168
00:11:31,829 --> 00:11:29,760
we're going to learn to live and work in

169
00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:31,839
a hostile environment then it's on to

170
00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:39,590
president biden's 26 billion proposed

171
00:11:43,269 --> 00:11:41,920
budget for nasa will begin to make this

172
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:43,279
happen

173
00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:46,480
so let's take a look at how this is

174
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:47,760
going to happen

175
00:12:32,629 --> 00:11:58,430
[Music]

176
00:12:46,050 --> 00:12:35,230
so

177
00:12:47,540 --> 00:12:46,060
[Music]

178
00:13:19,509 --> 00:12:47,550
[Applause]

179
00:13:24,310 --> 00:13:21,590
how about that

180
00:13:26,470 --> 00:13:24,320
for decades many of us have looked up at

181
00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:26,480
the moon every night and we wondered

182
00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:27,760
when

183
00:13:34,629 --> 00:13:32,000
would we touch the lunar surface again

184
00:13:39,069 --> 00:13:34,639
that day is coming soon because not long

185
00:13:42,710 --> 00:13:39,079
from now right out there on pad 39 b

186
00:13:44,870 --> 00:13:42,720
8.8 million pounds of thrust will propel

187
00:13:46,710 --> 00:13:44,880
and uncrewed artemis one into the

188
00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:46,720
heavens

189
00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:48,959
and after this three-week journey of

190
00:13:54,230 --> 00:13:51,760
over a million miles it'll come home

191
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:54,240
faster and hotter than any spacecraft

192
00:13:58,949 --> 00:13:56,880
has before

193
00:14:03,350 --> 00:13:58,959
in two years

194
00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:03,360
then from artemis one for the first time

195
00:14:13,030 --> 00:14:10,310
artemis will fly astronauts around the

196
00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:17,509
it won't be a mormon level and anders

197
00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:20,000
it'll be a crew that will be announced

198
00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:22,480
later this year

199
00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:25,519
and it will take them farther into space

200
00:14:30,389 --> 00:14:28,160
than any humans have ever traveled

201
00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:30,399
before

202
00:14:36,230 --> 00:14:33,360
and when we land the first woman and a

203
00:14:39,030 --> 00:14:36,240
first person of color on the moon as

204
00:14:41,590 --> 00:14:39,040
part of the artemis program

205
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:41,600
we will inspire the next generation of

206
00:14:47,189 --> 00:14:44,560
scientists and engineers and explorers

207
00:14:49,030 --> 00:14:47,199
remember what happened after the apollo

208
00:14:52,069 --> 00:14:49,040
program

209
00:14:54,069 --> 00:14:52,079
you had several generations

210
00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:54,079
of engineers and scientists and

211
00:14:59,509 --> 00:14:56,639
technicians

212
00:15:03,030 --> 00:14:59,519
that all came out as a result

213
00:15:04,790 --> 00:15:03,040
of the extraordinary work in apollo

214
00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:04,800
but now

215
00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:07,680
the apollo generation

216
00:15:13,670 --> 00:15:10,079
has passed the torch

217
00:15:16,230 --> 00:15:13,680
to the artemis generation

218
00:15:18,470 --> 00:15:16,240
and this new generation is preparing to

219
00:15:20,949 --> 00:15:18,480
push the boundaries of what we know to

220
00:15:23,590 --> 00:15:20,959
be possible

221
00:15:25,269 --> 00:15:23,600
it will not be a series of isolated

222
00:15:26,470 --> 00:15:25,279
missions

223
00:15:29,269 --> 00:15:26,480
instead

224
00:15:32,949 --> 00:15:29,279
each mission will be a groundbreaking

225
00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:32,959
component built on the last

226
00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:34,639
on the moon

227
00:15:40,389 --> 00:15:37,279
and beyond

228
00:15:43,030 --> 00:15:40,399
so let's turn our attention to artemis

229
00:15:46,069 --> 00:15:43,040
launch director charlie blackwell

230
00:15:47,990 --> 00:15:46,079
thompson to tell us more

231
00:15:49,749 --> 00:15:48,000
roll the video thank you i'm nasa's

232
00:15:51,590 --> 00:15:49,759
megan cruz and i am joined right now by

233
00:15:53,110 --> 00:15:51,600
artemis one launch director charlie

234
00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:53,120
blackwell thompson charlie thank you so

235
00:15:56,949 --> 00:15:55,120
much for being here thank you you know

236
00:15:58,949 --> 00:15:56,959
we see your rocket there on the pad how

237
00:16:01,189 --> 00:15:58,959
does it make you feel

238
00:16:03,590 --> 00:16:01,199
well

239
00:16:06,629 --> 00:16:03,600
when i look at that rocket on the pad

240
00:16:09,509 --> 00:16:06,639
it is a mix of emotions for me i it's

241
00:16:10,790 --> 00:16:09,519
it's excitement um i feel a sense of

242
00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:10,800
pride

243
00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:12,720
for the teams and for all the men and

244
00:16:17,030 --> 00:16:14,480
women who have worked on this rocket to

245
00:16:18,629 --> 00:16:17,040
make it possible i mean you think about

246
00:16:21,990 --> 00:16:18,639
it and you

247
00:16:24,389 --> 00:16:22,000
you see it it's it's amazing and and

248
00:16:27,430 --> 00:16:24,399
really it's made up of

249
00:16:30,069 --> 00:16:27,440
hardware software elements peace parts

250
00:16:32,230 --> 00:16:30,079
that come from across our country and it

251
00:16:34,790 --> 00:16:32,240
represents the the work and the

252
00:16:36,389 --> 00:16:34,800
dedication of men and women from all

253
00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:36,399
across our 50 states

254
00:16:40,870 --> 00:16:37,920
so what did it take for you and your

255
00:16:43,030 --> 00:16:40,880
team to get to this moment

256
00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:43,040
well i mean this team has been busy

257
00:16:48,470 --> 00:16:46,560
developing flight hardware the sls

258
00:16:51,189 --> 00:16:48,480
rocket the orion spacecraft the ground i

259
00:16:53,110 --> 00:16:51,199
system our big team has been working on

260
00:16:56,230 --> 00:16:53,120
this for a number of years

261
00:16:59,509 --> 00:16:56,240
it's gone from a clean sheet of paper to

262
00:17:01,670 --> 00:16:59,519
a concept to a design to cutting metal

263
00:17:03,910 --> 00:17:01,680
and manufacturing parts

264
00:17:06,230 --> 00:17:03,920
and then the integration and test to

265
00:17:07,909 --> 00:17:06,240
this vehicle that you see behind you so

266
00:17:10,549 --> 00:17:07,919
when you think about the effort what has

267
00:17:12,789 --> 00:17:10,559
it taken i mean it has taken dedication

268
00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:12,799
and support from a team of people from

269
00:17:19,189 --> 00:17:16,000
across our country most recently as part

270
00:17:21,669 --> 00:17:19,199
of the work here at launch complex 39b

271
00:17:24,309 --> 00:17:21,679
you know after rollout it is uh it's

272
00:17:25,990 --> 00:17:24,319
been all about getting those tests in uh

273
00:17:27,829 --> 00:17:26,000
prior to wet dress and so our team's

274
00:17:29,430 --> 00:17:27,839
been really busy with that but but

275
00:17:31,669 --> 00:17:29,440
certainly if you're looking back over

276
00:17:34,310 --> 00:17:31,679
time you know the the efforts on this

277
00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:34,320
rocket started some time ago and and

278
00:17:38,470 --> 00:17:36,720
and spanned many different teams and and

279
00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:38,480
many different programs so you mentioned

280
00:17:42,070 --> 00:17:40,480
wet dress that's the next critical step

281
00:17:44,070 --> 00:17:42,080
before we can declare a launch date

282
00:17:46,390 --> 00:17:44,080
right how do you feel about this test

283
00:17:49,029 --> 00:17:46,400
it's almost upon us

284
00:17:50,870 --> 00:17:49,039
i'm excited about it our team's excited

285
00:17:53,350 --> 00:17:50,880
about it um

286
00:17:55,029 --> 00:17:53,360
it is a big milestone and it is the last

287
00:17:58,630 --> 00:17:55,039
big test before

288
00:17:59,830 --> 00:17:58,640
launch and so when i say that even now

289
00:18:01,350 --> 00:17:59,840
you know i get a little bit of

290
00:18:03,669 --> 00:18:01,360
goosebumps

291
00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:03,679
because it is it's it's a big milestone

292
00:18:07,909 --> 00:18:06,160
it's a big deal um are we ready we we

293
00:18:10,150 --> 00:18:07,919
are ready our team has been training for

294
00:18:11,669 --> 00:18:10,160
this we've gone through our tabletops

295
00:18:13,990 --> 00:18:11,679
we've gone through our procedures we've

296
00:18:15,669 --> 00:18:14,000
gone through our training and

297
00:18:17,909 --> 00:18:15,679
and we're our pre-test briefing is

298
00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:17,919
scheduled uh just a couple of days from

299
00:18:22,070 --> 00:18:20,160
now so it is uh it's it's a very

300
00:18:23,350 --> 00:18:22,080
exciting time what are you most looking

301
00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:23,360
forward to

302
00:18:28,630 --> 00:18:25,840
for launch day

303
00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:28,640
i am looking forward to the team

304
00:18:32,070 --> 00:18:30,080
there's there's a bunch of things so the

305
00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:32,080
first one is i'm looking forward to our

306
00:18:36,870 --> 00:18:34,320
team having an opportunity to

307
00:18:38,549 --> 00:18:36,880
demonstrate all of the work all of the

308
00:18:40,470 --> 00:18:38,559
training that they've been putting in

309
00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:40,480
for a couple of years now and so i'm

310
00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:42,960
looking forward to that from a hardware

311
00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:44,880
and a firing room perspective i look

312
00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:47,440
forward to coming in on launch day

313
00:18:53,430 --> 00:18:50,160
driving into the lcc and stepping out of

314
00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:53,440
the car and and looking out at the pad

315
00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:54,960
and knowing

316
00:18:59,510 --> 00:18:56,880
that you know we're hours away from

317
00:19:00,710 --> 00:18:59,520
launch and and seeing that excitement in

318
00:19:02,390 --> 00:19:00,720
the team

319
00:19:04,470 --> 00:19:02,400
i look forward to getting into terminal

320
00:19:06,710 --> 00:19:04,480
count and seeing those last minutes and

321
00:19:09,430 --> 00:19:06,720
seconds tick off the countdown clock

322
00:19:11,990 --> 00:19:09,440
knowing that you know we are potentially

323
00:19:15,110 --> 00:19:12,000
once we get into terminal count you know

324
00:19:16,950 --> 00:19:15,120
very close to engine start and uh and so

325
00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:16,960
that's i look forward to that kind of

326
00:19:20,950 --> 00:19:19,440
those last moments of launch countdown

327
00:19:23,110 --> 00:19:20,960
and charlie what would you like to say

328
00:19:25,590 --> 00:19:23,120
to all the people who have contributed

329
00:19:28,390 --> 00:19:25,600
their hard work and their dedication to

330
00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:28,400
get us here to this moment

331
00:19:32,310 --> 00:19:30,080
i would like to say thank you a

332
00:19:34,549 --> 00:19:32,320
heartfelt thank you

333
00:19:37,190 --> 00:19:34,559
this rocket sits on the pad ready for

334
00:19:39,190 --> 00:19:37,200
wet dress because of the dedication the

335
00:19:42,950 --> 00:19:39,200
support

336
00:19:45,029 --> 00:19:42,960
the excellent work by a team of people

337
00:19:47,350 --> 00:19:45,039
i would say thank you thank you for all

338
00:19:49,190 --> 00:19:47,360
that you have done to get us here and

339
00:19:50,150 --> 00:19:49,200
thank you charlie thanks so much thank

340
00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:50,160
you

341
00:19:58,310 --> 00:19:55,830
thanks charlie

342
00:19:59,510 --> 00:19:58,320
the exploration ground systems team

343
00:20:02,390 --> 00:19:59,520
thank you

344
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:02,400
every member of the nasa family

345
00:20:08,789 --> 00:20:05,280
the progress that we have made was in

346
00:20:11,590 --> 00:20:08,799
big part because of you

347
00:20:13,590 --> 00:20:11,600
and through these artemis missions

348
00:20:15,590 --> 00:20:13,600
we will make new discoveries and

349
00:20:17,909 --> 00:20:15,600
advanced technologies

350
00:20:19,669 --> 00:20:17,919
you would expect that

351
00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:19,679
and we'll do it in a way that we've

352
00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:22,480
never done it before

353
00:20:27,669 --> 00:20:25,200
just last week we announced a plan for

354
00:20:30,710 --> 00:20:27,679
more competition to

355
00:20:33,990 --> 00:20:30,720
add additional landers to carry

356
00:20:36,070 --> 00:20:34,000
astronauts to the lunar surface

357
00:20:38,149 --> 00:20:36,080
we expect to land

358
00:20:41,190 --> 00:20:38,159
about once a year

359
00:20:43,590 --> 00:20:41,200
for more than a decade

360
00:20:46,149 --> 00:20:43,600
we're going to put an outpost or

361
00:20:49,270 --> 00:20:46,159
something like a station in lunar orbit

362
00:20:50,630 --> 00:20:49,280
it's going to be in a polar orbit of the

363
00:20:53,350 --> 00:20:50,640
moon

364
00:20:56,149 --> 00:20:53,360
and we're going to call it gateway

365
00:20:59,029 --> 00:20:56,159
and it will provide essential support

366
00:21:02,470 --> 00:20:59,039
for our return to the lunar surface but

367
00:21:05,510 --> 00:21:02,480
it'll also serve as a staging point for

368
00:21:07,830 --> 00:21:05,520
deep space exploration

369
00:21:10,870 --> 00:21:07,840
and our goal is to apply what we've

370
00:21:12,390 --> 00:21:10,880
learned living and operating on the moon

371
00:21:16,630 --> 00:21:12,400
and continue

372
00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:16,640
then out into the solar system

373
00:21:22,630 --> 00:21:19,760
our plan is for humans to walk on mars

374
00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:22,640
by 2040.

375
00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:24,159
we continue

376
00:21:29,990 --> 00:21:26,400
to search for life

377
00:21:32,470 --> 00:21:30,000
we have we're digging in mars right now

378
00:21:34,310 --> 00:21:32,480
as one of our

379
00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:34,320
targets

380
00:21:40,390 --> 00:21:38,720
we know rovers are critical components

381
00:21:43,590 --> 00:21:40,400
but when you get down to it you got to

382
00:21:45,750 --> 00:21:43,600
put a human in the loop

383
00:21:48,710 --> 00:21:45,760
they are essential

384
00:21:52,549 --> 00:21:48,720
for exploration

385
00:21:55,350 --> 00:21:52,559
the destiny of the human spirit is to

386
00:22:01,029 --> 00:21:58,390
this year a new inflatable heat shield

387
00:22:03,350 --> 00:22:01,039
is being developed that can

388
00:22:06,470 --> 00:22:03,360
that can actually slow down and survive

389
00:22:09,110 --> 00:22:06,480
reentry on mars

390
00:22:12,549 --> 00:22:09,120
it's in this budget

391
00:22:14,230 --> 00:22:12,559
so to sustain life on the moon and then

392
00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:14,240
on to mars

393
00:22:19,830 --> 00:22:17,200
we'll need surface power

394
00:22:23,669 --> 00:22:19,840
we secured additional funding to build

395
00:22:28,390 --> 00:22:23,679
that essential infrastructure

396
00:22:31,590 --> 00:22:28,400
mars of course is millions of miles away

397
00:22:32,950 --> 00:22:31,600
research into nuclear propulsion is

398
00:22:35,750 --> 00:22:32,960
important

399
00:22:40,470 --> 00:22:35,760
it will cut down the time it will take

400
00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:40,480
for our pioneers to travel to mars

401
00:22:46,630 --> 00:22:41,840
it too

402
00:22:52,470 --> 00:22:48,630
ladies and gentlemen

403
00:23:00,149 --> 00:22:55,669
last february the perseverance rover it

404
00:23:03,350 --> 00:23:00,159
arrived at jezreel crater on mars

405
00:23:04,870 --> 00:23:03,360
and the marsh sample return mission will

406
00:23:06,710 --> 00:23:04,880
and

407
00:23:09,909 --> 00:23:06,720
come back

408
00:23:11,750 --> 00:23:09,919
to earth bringing the samples gathered

409
00:23:14,549 --> 00:23:11,760
by perseverance

410
00:23:16,710 --> 00:23:14,559
from the crater floor perseverance is

411
00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:16,720
putting them at different locations in

412
00:23:21,430 --> 00:23:18,240
these

413
00:23:23,590 --> 00:23:21,440
vials that are about that long

414
00:23:26,390 --> 00:23:23,600
and they're putting a stash of them here

415
00:23:29,909 --> 00:23:26,400
and a stash of them there

416
00:23:31,830 --> 00:23:29,919
and a mars rover will go around with our

417
00:23:34,630 --> 00:23:31,840
european friends and pick them up and

418
00:23:36,549 --> 00:23:34,640
then we put it in a mars ascent vehicle

419
00:23:38,549 --> 00:23:36,559
and it goes up in it

420
00:23:41,590 --> 00:23:38,559
rendezvous

421
00:23:44,549 --> 00:23:41,600
with a spacecraft in martian orbit

422
00:23:46,149 --> 00:23:44,559
that'll bring it back to the moon

423
00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:46,159
just think what we're going to see in

424
00:23:50,950 --> 00:23:48,480
those samples

425
00:23:53,029 --> 00:23:50,960
they could possibly confirm the ultimate

426
00:23:57,669 --> 00:23:53,039
question

427
00:23:59,590 --> 00:23:57,679
did life exist on mars does it exist now

428
00:24:05,350 --> 00:23:59,600
if it does well

429
00:24:10,549 --> 00:24:07,990
you know at nasa we dream big and we're

430
00:24:12,950 --> 00:24:10,559
constantly pushing the limit of what we

431
00:24:15,029 --> 00:24:12,960
know to be possible

432
00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:15,039
and that's why it's critical to leverage

433
00:24:22,470 --> 00:24:18,400
the speed and invid in a innovation of

434
00:24:24,789 --> 00:24:22,480
the commercial sector as we move forward

435
00:24:26,390 --> 00:24:24,799
our partnership with industry has

436
00:24:29,350 --> 00:24:26,400
already allowed

437
00:24:31,350 --> 00:24:29,360
more scientific research

438
00:24:33,510 --> 00:24:31,360
and in december

439
00:24:36,070 --> 00:24:33,520
nasa signed agreements

440
00:24:38,470 --> 00:24:36,080
with three american companies to develop

441
00:24:41,430 --> 00:24:38,480
designs of space stations and other

442
00:24:43,669 --> 00:24:41,440
commercial destinations

443
00:24:45,190 --> 00:24:43,679
first in low earth orbit and then who

444
00:24:47,990 --> 00:24:45,200
knows what

445
00:24:52,230 --> 00:24:50,549
this budget provides funding for these

446
00:24:55,750 --> 00:24:52,240
efforts

447
00:24:57,430 --> 00:24:55,760
it enables a commercial economy in low

448
00:24:59,950 --> 00:24:57,440
earth orbit

449
00:25:02,470 --> 00:24:59,960
where the us will maintain an

450
00:25:08,310 --> 00:25:02,480
uninterrupted presence

451
00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:09,430
so

452
00:25:15,750 --> 00:25:11,760
part of nasa's commitment to lead in

453
00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:15,760
space means that we will also continue

454
00:25:19,750 --> 00:25:17,760
to lead

455
00:25:22,230 --> 00:25:19,760
right here

456
00:25:25,269 --> 00:25:22,240
on earth

457
00:25:27,990 --> 00:25:25,279
last january dr kate calvin joined the

458
00:25:30,070 --> 00:25:28,000
nasa family as the agency's chief

459
00:25:31,669 --> 00:25:30,080
scientist and first senior climate

460
00:25:34,789 --> 00:25:31,679
advisor

461
00:25:36,710 --> 00:25:34,799
and today she and the director of nasa's

462
00:25:39,110 --> 00:25:36,720
earth science division karen

463
00:25:42,710 --> 00:25:39,120
saint-germain

464
00:25:46,470 --> 00:25:42,720
are joining us from goddard to explain

465
00:25:49,510 --> 00:25:46,480
how nasa is at the point of the spear on

466
00:25:52,230 --> 00:25:49,520
climate research

467
00:26:00,710 --> 00:25:52,240
so let's turn it over to the team at the

468
00:26:04,549 --> 00:26:02,870
thank you administrator nelson as you

469
00:26:06,149 --> 00:26:04,559
just mentioned we're at nasa's goddard

470
00:26:08,230 --> 00:26:06,159
space flight center in greenbelt

471
00:26:10,310 --> 00:26:08,240
maryland one of nasa's hubs of earth

472
00:26:12,390 --> 00:26:10,320
science and climate change research and

473
00:26:15,029 --> 00:26:12,400
i'm here with karen and kate

474
00:26:17,190 --> 00:26:15,039
so kate what is on the horizon for nasa

475
00:26:19,190 --> 00:26:17,200
to continue to understand climate change

476
00:26:20,390 --> 00:26:19,200
and delivering that information to the

477
00:26:22,549 --> 00:26:20,400
public

478
00:26:24,470 --> 00:26:22,559
observing our planet how it's changed

479
00:26:26,870 --> 00:26:24,480
over time and how human activities

480
00:26:28,789 --> 00:26:26,880
impacted it is not new to nasa we've

481
00:26:30,070 --> 00:26:28,799
been doing that for decades now but

482
00:26:32,149 --> 00:26:30,080
we're at a point where we need to go

483
00:26:33,669 --> 00:26:32,159
beyond gathering information we need to

484
00:26:35,990 --> 00:26:33,679
make sure that people have what they

485
00:26:37,830 --> 00:26:36,000
need to make informed decisions

486
00:26:39,110 --> 00:26:37,840
we'll continue our climate research

487
00:26:41,590 --> 00:26:39,120
looking at things like surface

488
00:26:43,990 --> 00:26:41,600
temperature greenhouse gases sea level

489
00:26:45,909 --> 00:26:44,000
rise and other aspects of climate change

490
00:26:48,789 --> 00:26:45,919
but we need to take the next step and in

491
00:26:50,149 --> 00:26:48,799
that accessibility to data is critical

492
00:26:52,149 --> 00:26:50,159
while all of our data is freely

493
00:26:54,230 --> 00:26:52,159
available to the public now we're

494
00:26:57,029 --> 00:26:54,240
working in the future to make sure that

495
00:26:58,549 --> 00:26:57,039
it's easier to use and in good formats

496
00:27:00,470 --> 00:26:58,559
and that people have what they need as

497
00:27:03,269 --> 00:27:00,480
they're making decisions whether those

498
00:27:04,630 --> 00:27:03,279
are about climate mitigation adaptation

499
00:27:07,269 --> 00:27:04,640
or planning

500
00:27:09,269 --> 00:27:07,279
thanks kate and karen nasa is working to

501
00:27:11,190 --> 00:27:09,279
develop the next generation of earth

502
00:27:13,269 --> 00:27:11,200
observing satellites the earth system

503
00:27:15,990 --> 00:27:13,279
observatory how will that serve the

504
00:27:19,110 --> 00:27:16,000
science community and public at large

505
00:27:21,830 --> 00:27:19,120
well nasa's been a global leader in

506
00:27:23,750 --> 00:27:21,840
earth observation science and modeling

507
00:27:25,590 --> 00:27:23,760
for over 60 years

508
00:27:28,389 --> 00:27:25,600
but the challenges of climate change in

509
00:27:30,070 --> 00:27:28,399
particular mean we need more information

510
00:27:32,310 --> 00:27:30,080
and we need it faster and that's really

511
00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:32,320
where the earth system observatory comes

512
00:27:35,830 --> 00:27:33,120
in

513
00:27:38,630 --> 00:27:35,840
so the eso is the next generation of

514
00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:38,640
satellite missions that will launch by

515
00:27:43,750 --> 00:27:40,880
the end of this decade and they'll give

516
00:27:45,750 --> 00:27:43,760
us a 3d holistic view of our earth

517
00:27:48,549 --> 00:27:45,760
system at a level of precision and

518
00:27:50,070 --> 00:27:48,559
accuracy that we've never seen before

519
00:27:51,750 --> 00:27:50,080
and just as important as what we're

520
00:27:53,350 --> 00:27:51,760
doing is how we're doing it we're going

521
00:27:55,269 --> 00:27:53,360
to involve industry to bring in

522
00:27:57,029 --> 00:27:55,279
innovation we're working with

523
00:27:59,350 --> 00:27:57,039
international partners to leverage their

524
00:28:01,590 --> 00:27:59,360
capabilities and we're doing it all

525
00:28:04,470 --> 00:28:01,600
under open science principles to make

526
00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:04,480
sure that we get to the science and the

527
00:28:09,590 --> 00:28:06,799
information products uh that people need

528
00:28:11,430 --> 00:28:09,600
to make decisions as quickly as we can

529
00:28:13,830 --> 00:28:11,440
and this is a question to both of you

530
00:28:15,590 --> 00:28:13,840
how does nasa's climate change research

531
00:28:16,549 --> 00:28:15,600
help the average person let's start with

532
00:28:19,750 --> 00:28:16,559
you karen

533
00:28:22,070 --> 00:28:19,760
in most cases today people get access to

534
00:28:24,389 --> 00:28:22,080
nasa data through other agencies federal

535
00:28:27,110 --> 00:28:24,399
state and local as they manage things

536
00:28:29,269 --> 00:28:27,120
like coastal flooding and wildfires and

537
00:28:31,430 --> 00:28:29,279
even through the u.s drought monitor

538
00:28:33,590 --> 00:28:31,440
which supports the entire u.s

539
00:28:36,549 --> 00:28:33,600
agriculture industry and speaking of

540
00:28:39,430 --> 00:28:36,559
agriculture our nasa team just went to

541
00:28:41,590 --> 00:28:39,440
the major international major national

542
00:28:43,669 --> 00:28:41,600
agriculture commodities meeting to meet

543
00:28:45,350 --> 00:28:43,679
with farmers and

544
00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:45,360
agriculture producers and other key

545
00:28:49,909 --> 00:28:47,840
players to learn more about how they use

546
00:28:51,590 --> 00:28:49,919
nasa data today what they need in the

547
00:28:53,190 --> 00:28:51,600
future and how they need that

548
00:28:55,029 --> 00:28:53,200
information delivered

549
00:28:57,110 --> 00:28:55,039
karen makes some great points whether

550
00:28:59,110 --> 00:28:57,120
people may realize it or not nasa

551
00:29:01,350 --> 00:28:59,120
research has likely impacted things that

552
00:29:03,110 --> 00:29:01,360
affect their everyday lives or are used

553
00:29:05,190 --> 00:29:03,120
in long-term planning and we're working

554
00:29:07,269 --> 00:29:05,200
to make that easier in the future in

555
00:29:08,950 --> 00:29:07,279
addition we also develop technologies

556
00:29:10,470 --> 00:29:08,960
that can help people mitigate or adapt

557
00:29:12,710 --> 00:29:10,480
to climate change

558
00:29:15,590 --> 00:29:12,720
that's fantastic many thanks to you both

559
00:29:17,830 --> 00:29:15,600
administrator nelson back to you

560
00:29:20,549 --> 00:29:17,840
thanks you too

561
00:29:22,149 --> 00:29:20,559
what's clear is if we can measure this

562
00:29:24,870 --> 00:29:22,159
climate crisis

563
00:29:25,830 --> 00:29:24,880
we can mitigate it

564
00:29:28,710 --> 00:29:25,840
that's

565
00:29:31,909 --> 00:29:28,720
nasa's expertise

566
00:29:35,909 --> 00:29:31,919
eight of the top ten warmest years on

567
00:29:38,870 --> 00:29:35,919
our planet occurred in the last decade

568
00:29:41,269 --> 00:29:38,880
this is indisputable

569
00:29:45,669 --> 00:29:41,279
and it underscores the need for bold

570
00:29:48,630 --> 00:29:47,750
president's budget

571
00:29:51,750 --> 00:29:48,640
will

572
00:29:54,950 --> 00:29:51,760
empower nasa to launch an earth

573
00:29:57,269 --> 00:29:54,960
information center

574
00:29:58,549 --> 00:29:57,279
they won't let me call it

575
00:30:00,149 --> 00:29:58,559
a mission

576
00:30:02,389 --> 00:30:00,159
control center

577
00:30:05,830 --> 00:30:02,399
so they've gussied up the name it's a

578
00:30:08,789 --> 00:30:05,840
earth information center

579
00:30:12,870 --> 00:30:08,799
and we'll use it as a mission control to

580
00:30:15,350 --> 00:30:12,880
monitor operations during space flight

581
00:30:17,750 --> 00:30:15,360
we're embarking on this effort to

582
00:30:20,630 --> 00:30:17,760
monitor conditions here

583
00:30:23,590 --> 00:30:20,640
on our home planet

584
00:30:25,510 --> 00:30:23,600
and this effort will be implemented in

585
00:30:27,669 --> 00:30:25,520
coordination with other agencies and

586
00:30:30,310 --> 00:30:27,679
partners

587
00:30:34,149 --> 00:30:30,320
it'll monitor greenhouse gases it'll

588
00:30:36,870 --> 00:30:34,159
integrate data from a variety of sources

589
00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:36,880
and remember this is

590
00:30:42,070 --> 00:30:40,320
a whole complex of assets that are up

591
00:30:44,230 --> 00:30:42,080
there including

592
00:30:47,470 --> 00:30:44,240
the great observatories that we're going

593
00:30:50,789 --> 00:30:47,480
to put up over the next decade

594
00:30:52,389 --> 00:30:50,799
observatories that will give us precise

595
00:30:55,909 --> 00:30:52,399
data

596
00:30:57,990 --> 00:30:55,919
about what is happening to our planet

597
00:31:00,389 --> 00:30:58,000
and that will look and give us the

598
00:31:04,389 --> 00:31:00,399
precise measurements on what's happening

599
00:31:06,950 --> 00:31:04,399
to the water to the land to the ice into

600
00:31:09,190 --> 00:31:06,960
the atmosphere

601
00:31:12,470 --> 00:31:09,200
and the goal is simple

602
00:31:16,149 --> 00:31:12,480
to make nasa more dateable

603
00:31:19,990 --> 00:31:16,159
more nasa data more accessible

604
00:31:22,789 --> 00:31:20,000
and usable for federal state and local

605
00:31:25,509 --> 00:31:22,799
governments universities researchers as

606
00:31:28,070 --> 00:31:25,519
well as the public all of that the earth

607
00:31:29,590 --> 00:31:28,080
information center like a mission

608
00:31:33,110 --> 00:31:29,600
control

609
00:31:35,430 --> 00:31:33,120
but it'll be virtual as well we'll even

610
00:31:38,389 --> 00:31:35,440
have it in kiosk

611
00:31:41,269 --> 00:31:38,399
around the country

612
00:31:44,149 --> 00:31:41,279
this budget will give us the capacity to

613
00:31:48,549 --> 00:31:44,159
act more boldly and with greater urgency

614
00:31:52,710 --> 00:31:49,669
now

615
00:31:55,590 --> 00:31:52,720
this budget is also going to allow us to

616
00:31:58,310 --> 00:31:55,600
help mitigate the climate impacts

617
00:32:00,470 --> 00:31:58,320
in aviation

618
00:32:03,190 --> 00:32:00,480
the x-57

619
00:32:05,669 --> 00:32:03,200
and all-electric aircraft is going to

620
00:32:07,909 --> 00:32:05,679
fly this year

621
00:32:10,630 --> 00:32:07,919
it utilizes technology with the

622
00:32:13,269 --> 00:32:10,640
potential to make flying cleaner and

623
00:32:18,470 --> 00:32:16,070
i'm going to be out there at edwards to

624
00:32:20,470 --> 00:32:18,480
see it at the armstrong

625
00:32:22,630 --> 00:32:20,480
flight test center

626
00:32:24,950 --> 00:32:22,640
the president's funding request also

627
00:32:29,110 --> 00:32:24,960
supports a next generation highly

628
00:32:32,470 --> 00:32:29,120
efficient airliner proto prototype

629
00:32:35,990 --> 00:32:32,480
nasa investments will result in safer

630
00:32:39,669 --> 00:32:36,000
skies smoother passenger experiences

631
00:32:46,870 --> 00:32:42,710
and that includes the x-59

632
00:32:51,990 --> 00:32:46,880
which is going to fly this year as well

633
00:32:53,190 --> 00:32:52,000
a supersonic but low sonic boom

634
00:32:56,470 --> 00:32:53,200
flight

635
00:32:59,750 --> 00:32:56,480
that can fly over populated areas

636
00:33:02,149 --> 00:32:59,760
so let's hand it over to the armstrong

637
00:33:09,990 --> 00:33:02,159
flight research center who are joining

638
00:33:14,149 --> 00:33:12,149
you very much administrator nelson and

639
00:33:16,230 --> 00:33:14,159
welcome back to armstrong flight

640
00:33:18,950 --> 00:33:16,240
research center

641
00:33:21,029 --> 00:33:18,960
75 years ago the course of aviation was

642
00:33:22,789 --> 00:33:21,039
changed forever when the late chuck

643
00:33:26,710 --> 00:33:22,799
yeager broke the sound barrier in the

644
00:33:28,950 --> 00:33:26,720
first experimental aircraft the x1

645
00:33:30,230 --> 00:33:28,960
today nasa continues that tradition of

646
00:33:31,830 --> 00:33:30,240
pushing the envelope through

647
00:33:33,590 --> 00:33:31,840
experimental flight

648
00:33:35,669 --> 00:33:33,600
in pursuit of advancing sustainable

649
00:33:37,750 --> 00:33:35,679
aviation for all of us

650
00:33:39,789 --> 00:33:37,760
i'm standing in front of the x-57

651
00:33:42,789 --> 00:33:39,799
maxwell it's a technum

652
00:33:44,789 --> 00:33:42,799
p2006t that's been retrofitted as an

653
00:33:46,789 --> 00:33:44,799
all-electric aircraft

654
00:33:50,230 --> 00:33:46,799
i have with me here one of nasa's test

655
00:33:52,630 --> 00:33:50,240
pilots training to fly the x-57

656
00:33:55,430 --> 00:33:52,640
for the project mr tim williams

657
00:33:57,990 --> 00:33:55,440
hey tim so tim let's just start what is

658
00:34:00,549 --> 00:33:58,000
the x-57 and what makes this a unique

659
00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:00,559
aircraft well this is uh nasa's first

660
00:34:05,990 --> 00:34:03,760
all-electric crude aircraft uh it's been

661
00:34:08,550 --> 00:34:06,000
a couple years going but basically all

662
00:34:10,470 --> 00:34:08,560
electric electric motors and it has a

663
00:34:13,190 --> 00:34:10,480
battery as well so it's kind of cool

664
00:34:14,629 --> 00:34:13,200
stuff excellent we get a closer look

665
00:34:17,030 --> 00:34:14,639
absolutely i want to ask you you've

666
00:34:19,109 --> 00:34:17,040
flown so many different nasa aircraft in

667
00:34:21,270 --> 00:34:19,119
your career here

668
00:34:22,149 --> 00:34:21,280
what is it training what is it like

669
00:34:24,869 --> 00:34:22,159
training

670
00:34:27,430 --> 00:34:24,879
to fly a unique aircraft like the x57

671
00:34:30,149 --> 00:34:27,440
the key to any successful uh project

672
00:34:32,310 --> 00:34:30,159
like this is a is a simulator and it's

673
00:34:34,790 --> 00:34:32,320
part of the whole evolution when we go

674
00:34:36,310 --> 00:34:34,800
test i fly i go back to the simulator

675
00:34:37,909 --> 00:34:36,320
we've done a lot of work over the last

676
00:34:40,230 --> 00:34:37,919
couple years in building up that

677
00:34:42,230 --> 00:34:40,240
simulator to match it exactly what we

678
00:34:44,550 --> 00:34:42,240
have in this cockpit you know it's just

679
00:34:46,550 --> 00:34:44,560
me and this one now i have a normally

680
00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:46,560
four seats but we took out one seat put

681
00:34:50,550 --> 00:34:48,240
an instrument patient pallet and the

682
00:34:52,230 --> 00:34:50,560
rest of the airplane is all batteries

683
00:34:54,069 --> 00:34:52,240
so it's good i can't wait to fly this

684
00:34:55,430 --> 00:34:54,079
believe me appreciate it tim thank you

685
00:34:57,109 --> 00:34:55,440
looking forward to it

686
00:34:59,190 --> 00:34:57,119
i'm going to kick it up to my colleague

687
00:35:03,750 --> 00:34:59,200
sarah mann who's with heather up at the

688
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:03,760
x-57 simulator sarah

689
00:35:08,710 --> 00:35:06,240
thanks matt we're here in the x-57

690
00:35:10,550 --> 00:35:08,720
simulator with heather maliska and sim

691
00:35:12,069 --> 00:35:10,560
engineer ryan wallace

692
00:35:14,550 --> 00:35:12,079
heather can you share with us the

693
00:35:17,670 --> 00:35:14,560
contributions the x-57 has given to

694
00:35:20,790 --> 00:35:17,680
industry sure the x-57 project has made

695
00:35:22,710 --> 00:35:20,800
significant contributions to industry

696
00:35:24,870 --> 00:35:22,720
as a reference platform we're able to

697
00:35:29,270 --> 00:35:24,880
influence industry influence standards

698
00:35:31,109 --> 00:35:29,280
and the future of electric aviation

699
00:35:33,349 --> 00:35:31,119
uh the industry is interested in

700
00:35:35,349 --> 00:35:33,359
distributed electric propulsion and with

701
00:35:37,190 --> 00:35:35,359
that the project started with leaptech

702
00:35:39,990 --> 00:35:37,200
and leaptech was a modified electric

703
00:35:42,390 --> 00:35:40,000
wing that we put on a semi truck that we

704
00:35:44,230 --> 00:35:42,400
drove on the the lake bed here at

705
00:35:46,630 --> 00:35:44,240
armstrong flight research center and we

706
00:35:48,870 --> 00:35:46,640
were able to prove and validate that our

707
00:35:51,109 --> 00:35:48,880
motors could produce 300 horsepower can

708
00:35:52,790 --> 00:35:51,119
you tell us about the batteries sure our

709
00:35:54,470 --> 00:35:52,800
nasa engineers

710
00:35:56,390 --> 00:35:54,480
design batteries they could cover the

711
00:35:58,069 --> 00:35:56,400
entire flight profile and we did this

712
00:35:59,990 --> 00:35:58,079
safely to make sure that

713
00:36:02,470 --> 00:36:00,000
there was no thermal runaways and so we

714
00:36:04,710 --> 00:36:02,480
were able to share this publicly great

715
00:36:09,270 --> 00:36:04,720
thanks for sharing all this heather matt

716
00:36:13,589 --> 00:36:11,670
thanks very much sarah i have sean clark

717
00:36:16,790 --> 00:36:13,599
here who's nasa's principal investigator

718
00:36:18,150 --> 00:36:16,800
for the x-57 project and sean i know it

719
00:36:20,230 --> 00:36:18,160
sounds like we have an important

720
00:36:22,390 --> 00:36:20,240
milestone coming up for this aircraft i

721
00:36:24,870 --> 00:36:22,400
want to ask you about that but also you

722
00:36:27,270 --> 00:36:24,880
and i know that nasa's goal is to share

723
00:36:29,910 --> 00:36:27,280
the electric propulsion design and air

724
00:36:31,589 --> 00:36:29,920
worthiness process with regulators but

725
00:36:33,510 --> 00:36:31,599
why is that important

726
00:36:36,390 --> 00:36:33,520
yeah thanks matt we're really excited to

727
00:36:37,829 --> 00:36:36,400
take all of the engineering uh lessons

728
00:36:39,270 --> 00:36:37,839
learned that we were putting into this

729
00:36:41,270 --> 00:36:39,280
aircraft and get it into flight this

730
00:36:43,190 --> 00:36:41,280
summer so we're all working toward that

731
00:36:46,550 --> 00:36:43,200
right now and what's really important is

732
00:36:47,750 --> 00:36:46,560
that we learn from the fabrication and

733
00:36:49,990 --> 00:36:47,760
engineering development and

734
00:36:52,950 --> 00:36:50,000
airworthiness process and share that

735
00:36:54,550 --> 00:36:52,960
back to regulators and standards riders

736
00:36:56,550 --> 00:36:54,560
so that the aircraft of the future can

737
00:36:58,710 --> 00:36:56,560
take advantage of all the research that

738
00:37:00,710 --> 00:36:58,720
nasa is doing here and put them into the

739
00:37:04,550 --> 00:37:00,720
next generation of electric aircraft it

740
00:37:06,950 --> 00:37:04,560
sounds so awesome thank you sean yeah

741
00:37:08,870 --> 00:37:06,960
so the value that the x57 project is

742
00:37:11,829 --> 00:37:08,880
already producing for the sustainable

743
00:37:13,750 --> 00:37:11,839
aviation industry is foundational and

744
00:37:17,109 --> 00:37:13,760
we're proud to be paving the way for

745
00:37:19,510 --> 00:37:17,119
nasa's new line of crude experimental

746
00:37:21,430 --> 00:37:19,520
aircraft also known as x-planes to

747
00:37:24,310 --> 00:37:21,440
include the trust grace wing which is

748
00:37:27,190 --> 00:37:24,320
coming soon as well as the x-59 which is

749
00:37:29,670 --> 00:37:27,200
nasa's quiet supersonic x-plane

750
00:37:31,670 --> 00:37:29,680
that could open the future to quiet

751
00:37:34,630 --> 00:37:31,680
supersonic flight over land cutting

752
00:37:38,069 --> 00:37:34,640
flight times commercially in half

753
00:37:40,710 --> 00:37:38,079
administrator nelson back to you sir

754
00:37:45,510 --> 00:37:40,720
thanks guys and uh let's remember that

755
00:37:46,390 --> 00:37:45,520
the first a in nasa is aeronautics

756
00:37:48,550 --> 00:37:46,400
so

757
00:37:51,990 --> 00:37:48,560
putting all of this together

758
00:37:54,310 --> 00:37:52,000
to chart america's pioneering course

759
00:37:57,349 --> 00:37:54,320
into the cosmos

760
00:37:59,589 --> 00:37:57,359
we must embrace and empower the whole of

761
00:38:01,750 --> 00:37:59,599
our nation here at home

762
00:38:04,550 --> 00:38:01,760
so we took the first steps with the

763
00:38:07,190 --> 00:38:04,560
launch of mission equity

764
00:38:09,829 --> 00:38:07,200
we broadened our reach

765
00:38:12,310 --> 00:38:09,839
out with nasa's first ever spanish

766
00:38:14,390 --> 00:38:12,320
language broadcast for the perseverance

767
00:38:17,910 --> 00:38:14,400
mars landing

768
00:38:19,589 --> 00:38:17,920
and with a 150 million dollar budget for

769
00:38:22,790 --> 00:38:19,599
stem

770
00:38:25,270 --> 00:38:22,800
for education and engagement

771
00:38:27,750 --> 00:38:25,280
that was a 10 percent increase over last

772
00:38:30,950 --> 00:38:27,760
year it's in the budget

773
00:38:37,109 --> 00:38:30,960
and this is our opportunity to make

774
00:38:42,870 --> 00:38:40,470
last september nasa released its first

775
00:38:46,069 --> 00:38:42,880
comic book

776
00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:46,079
titled first woman nasa's promise for

777
00:38:50,470 --> 00:38:47,760
humanity

778
00:38:52,790 --> 00:38:50,480
you think that's a hit

779
00:38:54,870 --> 00:38:52,800
in elementary schools

780
00:38:58,230 --> 00:38:54,880
do you think

781
00:39:01,190 --> 00:38:58,240
that that ignites the imaginations of

782
00:39:04,069 --> 00:39:01,200
those little minds

783
00:39:06,550 --> 00:39:04,079
it imagines the story of cali rodriguez

784
00:39:08,470 --> 00:39:06,560
the fictional first woman to explore the

785
00:39:12,710 --> 00:39:08,480
moon

786
00:39:15,750 --> 00:39:12,720
this is a new generation of explorers

787
00:39:19,270 --> 00:39:15,760
the artemis generation

788
00:39:21,670 --> 00:39:19,280
it's also a story of where we are going

789
00:39:25,109 --> 00:39:21,680
as a country

790
00:39:27,030 --> 00:39:25,119
we were in the very successful apollo

791
00:39:29,109 --> 00:39:27,040
generation

792
00:39:31,829 --> 00:39:29,119
now we're going to the artemis

793
00:39:37,910 --> 00:39:34,670
and i believe that this agency

794
00:39:40,550 --> 00:39:37,920
personifies the american story it's a

795
00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:40,560
story that is never ending because of

796
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:42,640
the work to create

797
00:39:49,990 --> 00:39:47,680
a more perfect union does not end

798
00:39:52,069 --> 00:39:50,000
we have much work to do

799
00:39:55,109 --> 00:39:52,079
but this is the work

800
00:39:59,750 --> 00:39:55,119
we must do together

801
00:40:05,190 --> 00:39:59,760
and it's our leadership team's pledge

802
00:40:10,630 --> 00:40:07,190
let's recognize and bring down the

803
00:40:13,750 --> 00:40:10,640
barriers both visible and invisible that

804
00:40:16,470 --> 00:40:13,760
hinder fairness

805
00:40:18,390 --> 00:40:16,480
let's ensure underserved and

806
00:40:20,790 --> 00:40:18,400
underrepresented

807
00:40:22,069 --> 00:40:20,800
communities have access to nasa's

808
00:40:28,309 --> 00:40:22,079
programs

809
00:40:33,589 --> 00:40:30,150
ladies and gentlemen it's been a year

810
00:40:37,270 --> 00:40:33,599
since president biden asked me to rejoin

811
00:40:44,630 --> 00:40:39,990
i'm just constantly inspired by the

812
00:40:46,390 --> 00:40:44,640
can-do spirit that guides our agency

813
00:40:50,630 --> 00:40:46,400
and i'm proud to say

814
00:40:54,470 --> 00:40:50,640
that the state of nasa is strong

815
00:40:57,589 --> 00:40:54,480
it's strong because the nasa family

816
00:41:03,349 --> 00:41:00,390
over this past year we've achieved

817
00:41:05,349 --> 00:41:03,359
missions once thought impossible

818
00:41:07,670 --> 00:41:05,359
and we know this year is bound to be

819
00:41:11,510 --> 00:41:07,680
another banner year full of

820
00:41:18,470 --> 00:41:15,270
for the world's can do

821
00:41:25,589 --> 00:41:20,950
it's an honor of a lifetime to serve at

822
00:41:34,110 --> 00:41:29,840
onward and upward

823
00:41:36,150 --> 00:41:34,120
[Applause]

824
00:41:38,390 --> 00:41:36,160
[Music]

825
00:41:44,630 --> 00:41:38,400
space is for everyone we're all working

826
00:41:51,190 --> 00:41:47,190
just seeing people learn and grow and

827
00:41:52,950 --> 00:41:51,200
the community benefiting as a whole

828
00:41:55,589 --> 00:41:52,960
we have vendors from all around this

829
00:41:58,230 --> 00:41:55,599
country and all of that's bringing in

830
00:42:00,710 --> 00:41:58,240
a lot of jobs and getting to work in our

831
00:42:04,150 --> 00:42:00,720
community i give back by seeing

832
00:42:07,589 --> 00:42:04,160
companies grow my work means something

833
00:42:14,230 --> 00:42:07,599
it provides people with ability to feed

834
00:42:18,309 --> 00:42:15,750
not everyone who works on the space

835
00:42:20,550 --> 00:42:18,319
program is is an engineer or scientist

836
00:42:22,710 --> 00:42:20,560
in a white lab coat and there's vital

837
00:42:25,190 --> 00:42:22,720
roles

838
00:42:27,349 --> 00:42:25,200
everybody at nasa is very teamwork

839
00:42:29,990 --> 00:42:27,359
driven nothing that we do here is done

840
00:42:33,109 --> 00:42:30,000
by itself all successful missions come

841
00:42:35,430 --> 00:42:33,119
from a team that works together that is

842
00:42:37,510 --> 00:42:35,440
diverse and we each bring a different

843
00:42:39,190 --> 00:42:37,520
perspective to the team to help us

844
00:42:41,829 --> 00:42:39,200
achieve our goals

845
00:42:43,829 --> 00:42:41,839
there's literally an expert kind of

846
00:42:46,630 --> 00:42:43,839
within arm's reach that you can ask any

847
00:42:57,109 --> 00:42:46,640
question to and you'll probably get one

848
00:43:01,510 --> 00:42:59,510
we take a lot of ownership and what we

849
00:43:03,750 --> 00:43:01,520
do you get to see a lot of that passion

850
00:43:06,309 --> 00:43:03,760
you get to see a lot of that drive

851
00:43:08,790 --> 00:43:06,319
people want to do their best people want

852
00:43:10,309 --> 00:43:08,800
to pull together to be a part of this

853
00:43:15,270 --> 00:43:10,319
program that's bigger than what any of

854
00:43:18,230 --> 00:43:16,870
nasa does the trailblazing with

855
00:43:21,030 --> 00:43:18,240
technology

856
00:43:22,790 --> 00:43:21,040
the kind of work we do you can't rest on

857
00:43:24,630 --> 00:43:22,800
your laurels and say okay we're there

858
00:43:26,390 --> 00:43:24,640
there's no end to what we can achieve so

859
00:43:28,470 --> 00:43:26,400
we have to keep pushing ourselves

860
00:43:30,550 --> 00:43:28,480
and any airplane that i get on it's

861
00:43:32,470 --> 00:43:30,560
exciting to think about oh this airplane

862
00:43:34,790 --> 00:43:32,480
probably at some point passed through

863
00:43:37,430 --> 00:43:34,800
many of our centers we are with you when

864
00:43:39,829 --> 00:43:37,440
you fly we are coming up with safer

865
00:43:43,270 --> 00:43:39,839
newer technologies that are more silent

866
00:43:48,309 --> 00:43:46,230
just to be able to work here and

867
00:43:50,710 --> 00:43:48,319
be able to design and touch something

868
00:43:54,870 --> 00:43:50,720
that will one day travel to a new planet

869
00:43:58,069 --> 00:43:54,880
is amazing i mean it's indescribable

870
00:44:00,309 --> 00:43:58,079
nasa brings hope and inspiration by
