00:08:28,469 --> 00:08:26,400 in just the last couple of years the 156 00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:28,479 capabilities of our commercial partners 157 00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:30,319 are growing all the time 158 00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:32,000 i know all of you are aware that the 159 00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:35,200 axiom one mission the first private 160 00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:36,880 astronaut mission to the international 161 00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:39,760 space station will launch on friday 162 00:08:44,389 --> 00:08:41,680 and our congratulations to the axiom and 163 00:08:46,870 --> 00:08:44,399 nasa teams that help make that happen 164 00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:46,880 and just ahead of us is the fourth 165 00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:48,959 commercial crew launch to the 166 00:08:53,430 --> 00:08:51,440 international space station by spacex 167 00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:53,440 with boeing system for launching 168 00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:55,440 astronauts on the way 169 00:08:59,990 --> 00:08:57,680 not to mention all the suborbital human 170 00:09:02,389 --> 00:09:00,000 space flight capabilities that have been 171 00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:02,399 demonstrated and are being demonstrated 172 00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:04,800 on a routine basis 173 00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:06,720 the way i see this 174 00:09:10,949 --> 00:09:09,360 is just as nasa's investments in 175 00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:10,959 aeronautics 176 00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:14,160 ceded the golden age of aviation in the 177 00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:16,240 50s and the 60s 178 00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:18,160 nasa investments along with other 179 00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:20,480 government investments have seated where 180 00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:22,800 we are today 181 00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:25,360 i believe history will look back 182 00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:28,800 and say that we are in the golden age of 183 00:09:31,990 --> 00:09:30,240 commercial space 184 00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:32,000 and it's pretty exciting to be living in 185 00:09:38,310 --> 00:09:36,550 i'd like to switch gears and talk about 186 00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:38,320 science for a moment 187 00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:40,640 even with a pretty lofty and ambitious 188 00:09:46,949 --> 00:09:44,399 portfolio at nasa space science astounds 189 00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:46,959 us and inspires us 190 00:09:50,710 --> 00:09:48,880 in this sea of incredible space news 191 00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:50,720 that we're hearing every day i think 192 00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:52,959 none of us overlooked the amazing feat 193 00:09:57,590 --> 00:09:55,360 of launching the web telescope 194 00:10:00,070 --> 00:09:57,600 the world watched as we worked through 195 00:10:02,389 --> 00:10:00,080 hundreds of single point failures and 196 00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:02,399 now have come to the point where every 197 00:10:06,949 --> 00:10:04,480 optical parameter that has been checked 198 00:10:08,870 --> 00:10:06,959 and tested is performing at or above 199 00:10:10,949 --> 00:10:08,880 expectations 200 00:10:13,030 --> 00:10:10,959 the observatory is able to successfully 201 00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:13,040 gather and focus 202 00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:15,600 light from different distant objects and 203 00:10:18,949 --> 00:10:17,440 deliver it to its instruments without 204 00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:18,959 issue 205 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:21,600 there's still work to go but prepare for 206 00:10:27,190 --> 00:10:25,360 webs amazing science this year 207 00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:27,200 i really want to congratulate the nasa 208 00:10:32,470 -->

going to be 214 00:10:48,949 --> 00:10:45,920 hosting web first light events with us 215 00:10:51,829 --> 00:10:48,959 this is part of a strategy this strategy 216 00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:51,839 of sharing the ups and the downs and the 217 00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:54,399 drama of each step of the scientific 218 00:11:00,310 --> 00:10:57,760 journey is a strategy that we are hoping 219 00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:00,320 will help everyone understand how 220 00:11:04,550 --> 00:11:02,880 science works 221 00:11:07,430 --> 00:11:04,560 the budget 222 00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:07,440 proposal also allows us to continue to 223 00:11:10,790 --> 00:11:09,600 make progress with the nancy grace roman 224 00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:10,800 telescope 225 00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:14,480 which will complement webb's deep view 226 00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:16,480 into the cosmos 227 00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:17,519 by 228 00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:20,079 taking a survey view to help us 229 00:11:24,470 --> 00:11:22,560 understand galaxies and exoplanets in 230 00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:24,480 the universe 231 00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:26,480 asteroids also continue to be at the 232 00:11:31,269 --> 00:11:28,800 forefront of the world's consciousness 233 00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:31,279 this year we will launch psyche to study 234 00:11:36,150 --> 00:11:34,079 a very different kind of asteroid 235 00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:36,160 and we anticipate our planetary 236 00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:37,920 protection mission 237 00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:38,880 dart 238 00:11:42,389 --> 00:11:41,279 this fall will help us shed light on a 239 00:11:44,949 --> 00:11:42,399 potential 240 00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:44,959 deflection technology that perhaps we 241 00:11:50,949 --> 00:11:47,040 could use on a dangerous near-earth 242 00:11:58,230 --> 00:11:54,310 the president's budget will also 243 00:12:00,310 --> 00:11:58,240 enable our mars sample return whoop okay 244 00:12:02,550 --> 00:12:00,320 not quite the right did i oh

00:12:13,200 partnership with esa which will 252 00:12:18,629 --> 00:12:15,920 revolutionize our understanding of mars 253 00:12:20,550 --> 00:12:18,639 by returning samples for study using the 254 00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:20,560 most sophisticated instruments on the 255 00:12:24,230 --> 00:12:22,399 around the world and that work is 256 00:12:26,870 --> 00:12:24,240 already underway with the perseverance 257 00:12:29,670 --> 00:12:26,880 rover collecting those samples even as 258 00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:29,680 the rover continues on-site search for 259 00:12:35,590 --> 00:12:32,720 signs of ancient life those samples 260 00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:35,600 could be the best opportunity to reveal 261 00:12:39,670 --> 00:12:38,000 mars's early evolution and potential for 262 00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:39,680 life 263 00:12:45,430 --> 00:12:43,200 this mission is a huge challenge it's an 264 00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:45,440 enormous technical challenge we'll have 265 00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:47,360 a lot of firsts on this mission 266 00:12:51,430 --> 00:12:49,279 including the first time several 267 00:12:55,030 --> 00:12:51,440 vehicles would land on the surface of 268 00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:55,040 mars orchestrated around the same time 269 00:12:59,829 --> 00:12:57,360 it will also be the first launch from 270 00:13:01,829 --> 00:12:59,839 the surface of another planet with the 271 00:13:03,550 --> 00:13:01,839 mars ascent vehicle 272 00:13:06,310 --> 00:13:03,560 and the first international 273 00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:06,320 interplanetary relay effort using 274 00:13:09,590 --> 00:13:07,920 multiple missions 275 00:13:13,350 --> 00:13:09,600 to bring back a sample from another 276 00:13:18,949 --> 00:13:15,990 this is also a very exciting year for 277 00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:18,959 aeronautics we are back in the x-plane 278 00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:21,519 business in a big way 279 00:13:27,910 --> 00:13:24,480 we intend to lead in green aerospace 280 00:13:30,069 --> 00:13:27,920 including our x-57 all-electric aircraft 281 00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:30,079 scheduled for flight tests this year 282 00:13:35,030 --> 00:13:33,120 and additionally the 2023 budget enables 283 00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:35,040 us to begin planning for the next 284 00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:36,240 x-plane 285 00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:38,480 through the sustainable flight national 286 00:13:41,990

00:14:20,629 --> 00:14:18,240 these partnerships help us develop the 302 00:14:23,670 --> 00:14:20,639 technologies of tomorrow that will 303 00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:23,680 fulfill our vision of exploration 304 00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:26,320 satellite servicing fission surface 305 00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:28,480 power and a test of a new type of heat 306 00:14:31,509 --> 00:14:29,440 shield 307 00:14:33,910 --> 00:14:31,519 for atmospheric re-entry that will help 308 00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:33,920 us deliver much heavier payloads are 309 00:14:38,550 --> 00:14:36,320 just a few of the things on tap 310 00:14:41,269 --> 00:14:38,560 in this budget we're also demonstrating 311 00:14:43,430 --> 00:14:41,279 our commitment to nuclear propulsion 312 00:14:46,550 --> 00:14:43,440 which will enable enable greater 313 00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:46,560 capabilities across the science and the 314 00:14:54,949 --> 00:14:52,949 and of course 315 00:14:58,470 --> 00:14:54,959 artemis 316 00:15:01,509 --> 00:14:58,480 program 317 00:15:04,230 --> 00:15:01,519 helping us get to a sustained resilient 318 00:15:06,230 --> 00:15:04,240 cadence of missions in the future 319 00:15:07,110 --> 00:15:06,240 i was personally honored to see the roll 320 00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:07,120 out 321 00:15:13,110 --> 00:15:10,079 of the sls rocket in orion for artemis 322 00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:13,120 one it was very emotional and very 323 00:15:16,069 --> 00:15:14,560 historic 324 00:15:18,230 --> 00:15:16,079 we are working through wet dress 325 00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:18,240 rehearsal first time you do anything you 326 00:15:22,470 --> 00:15:21,120 learn a lot and uh we will continue to 327 00:15:25,110 --> 00:15:22,480 work through that 328 00:15:27,430 --> 00:15:25,120 to do all the testing the checks and a 329 00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:27,440 fuel test that we need and then that 330 00:15:30,949 --> 00:15:29,199 will allow the countdown to the moon 331 00:15:32,790 --> 00:15:30,959 beginning 332 00:15:35,990 --> 00:15:32,800 even before artemis one we have the 333 00:15:38,629 --> 00:15:36,000 capstone launching next month to explore 334 00:15:40,949 --> 00:15:38,639 the lunar orbit where our astronauts 335 00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:40,959 will live and work in space 336 00:15:46,230 --> 00:15:44,000 capstone is a 55 pound cubesat the size 337 00:15:49,590 --> 00:15:46,240 of a microwave oven that will serve as 338 00:15:51,749 --> 00:15:49,600 this first spacecraft to test a unique 339 00:15:54,629 --> 00:15:51,759 elliptical lunar orbit 340 00:15:57,269 --> 00:15:54,639 that same near rectilinear halo orbit is 341 00:15:59,990 --> 00:15:57,279 planned for nasa's gateway the moon 342 00:16:02,790 --> 00:16:00,000 orbiting outpost and logistics cache 343 00:16:05,269 --> 00:16:02,800 that's part of the artemis program 344 00:16:07,509 --> 00:16:05,279 capstone will validate the power and 345 00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:07,519 propulsion requirements for maintaining 346 00:16:12,629 --> 00:16:10,079 that unique orbit helping us refine our 347 00:16:17,590 --> 00:16:12,639 models and ensure that we will be able 348 00:16:22,629 --> 00:16:20,629 nasa also announced plans two weeks ago 349 00:16:24,629 --> 00:16:22,639 to create additional opportunities for 350 00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:24,639 industry to develop an astronaut moon 351 00:16:28,550 --> 00:16:25,839 lander 352 00:16:30,470 --> 00:16:28,560 this path enables resiliency 353 00:16:33,110 --> 00:16:30,480 and competition 354 00:16:35,189 --> 00:16:33,120 under this new approach nasa is asking 355 00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:35,199 american companies to propose lander 356 00:16:39,509 --> 00:16:37,920 concepts capable of ferrying astronauts 357 00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:39,519 between lunar orbit and the lunar 358 00:16:45,910 --> 00:16:43,680 surface for missions beyond artemis iii 359 00:16:48,629 --> 00:16:45,920 this path is in parallel to our work 360 00:16:51,749 --> 00:16:48,639 with spacex on the demonstration of its 361 00:16:54,470 --> 00:16:51,759 landing system to land the first humans 362 00:16:57,910 --> 00:16:54,480 on the moon in 50 years 363 00:17:01,990 --> 00:16:59,749 our next generation of science at the 364 00:17:04,949 --> 00:17:02,000 moon will get a big boost 365 00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:04,959 in preparation for astronaut science 366 00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:08,079 with u.s companies delivering scientific 367 00:17:12,069 --> 00:17:10,480 instruments and technology demos to the 368 00:17:14,630 --> 00:17:12,079 lunar surface 369 00:17:17,189 --> 00:17:14,640 we continue to select payloads 370 00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:17,199 delivery by industry through commercial 371 00:17:23,110 --> 00:17:20,160 lunar payload services or clips 372 00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:23,120 with nasa as just one of many customers 373 00:17:28,150 --> 00:17:25,600 and among those payloads is viper the 374 00:17:29,909 --> 00:17:28,160 rover that will develop a map 375 00:17:32,470 --> 00:17:29,919 at the south pole 376 00:17:34,549 --> 00:17:32,480 of the concentration and location of 377 00:17:36,870 --> 00:17:34,559 water ice that could eventually be 378 00:17:39,270 --> 00:17:36,880 harvested to sustain human exploration 379 00:17:42,390 --> 00:17:39,280 on the moon 380 00:17:45,029 --> 00:17:42,400 we are forging the artemis generation 381 00:17:46,870 --> 00:17:45,039 i myself was very inspired to follow my 382 00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:46,880 career path by the accomplishments of 383 00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:49,360 the apollo program but we're poised to 384 00:17:54,710 --> 00:17:51,760 do so much more than that 385 00:17:56,630 --> 00:17:54,720 to build on that legacy including also 386 00:17:58,390 --> 00:17:56,640 landing the first person of color on the 387 00:18:01,750 --> 00:17:58,400 moon 388 00:18:03,909 --> 00:18:01,760 we never forget we are standing on the 389 00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:03,919 shoulders of giants 390 00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:06,160 the men who landed on the moon 391 00:18:23,669 --> 00:18:20,870 i'd like to shift gear gears now and 392 00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:23,679 talk about the agency's priorities 393 00:18:28,390 --> 00:18:25,440 first and foremost 394 00:18:31,510 --> 00:18:28,400 we will continue to be a global leader 395 00:18:33,669 --> 00:18:31,520 in science aeronautics space technology 396 00:18:35,590 --> 00:18:33,679 and human space flight 397 00:18:39,029 --> 00:18:35,600 but in addition for the agency we have 398 00:18:43,110 --> 00:18:39,039 three cross-cutting priorities climate 399 00:18:45,350 --> 00:18:43,120 workforce and the moon to mars strategy 400 00:18:47,029 --> 00:18:45,360 our changing climate is creating an 401 00:18:49,590 --> 00:18:47,039 existential threat 402 00:18:50,390 --> 00:18:49,600 to all of us crew members of spaceship 403 00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:50,400 earth 404 00:18:55,029 --> 00:18:52,480 and nasa is uniquely positioned through 405 00:18:56,470 --> 00:18:55,039 our earth science program to contribute 406 00:18:59,029 --> 00:18:56,480 to one of the first 407 00:19:00,870 --> 00:18:59,039 key priorities of nasa understanding 408 00:19:02,390 --> 00:19:00,880 climate change 409 00:19:05,029 --> 00:19:02,400 this year with our international 410 00:19:07,830 --> 00:19:05,039 partners we initiate the earth system 411 00:19:09,750 --> 00:19:07,840 observatory a series of earth observing 412 00:19:11,590 --> 00:19:09,760 satellites that will measure key 413 00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:11,600 parameters to improve the world's 414 00:19:16,070 --> 00:19:14,080 understanding of climate change 415 00:19:18,789 --> 00:19:16,080 as we have measured earth in the past 416 00:19:20,549 --> 00:19:18,799 we've discovered that the most important 417 00:19:23,750 --> 00:19:20,559 thing to quantify 418 00:19:26,390 --> 00:19:23,760 is not just water or weather soil 419 00:19:29,190 --> 00:19:26,400 moisture or any individual thing but 420 00:19:31,190 --> 00:19:29,200 actually to study earth as a system 421 00:19:33,190 --> 00:19:31,200 and so nasa's work here in the earth 422 00:19:35,190 --> 00:19:33,200 system observatory is critical for the 423 00:19:36,870 --> 00:19:35,200 entire planet 424 00:19:39,190 --> 00:19:36,880 i've already mentioned our efforts in 425 00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:39,200 aeronautics around green aviation we 426 00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:41,440 will continue to integrate our climate 427 00:19:45,909 --> 00:19:44,160 efforts across the agency for maximum 428 00:19:47,990 --> 00:19:45,919 synergy 429 00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:48,000 and we will initiate the earth 430 00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:50,480 information center an effort to bring 431 00:19:56,789 --> 00:19:53,600 together our space-based climate data 432 00:20:00,150 --> 00:19:56,799 along with data from our interagency and 433 00:20:02,149 --> 00:20:00,160 international partners into one place 434 00:20:05,510 --> 00:20:02,159 this will help make it more accessible 435 00:20:07,669 --> 00:20:05,520 to scientists yes but we really intend 436 00:20:11,350 --> 00:20:07,679 to make it more accessible to decision 437 00:20:12,870 --> 00:20:11,360 makers and also all citizens especially 438 00:20:17,430 --> 00:20:12,880 in our communities that are most 439 00:20:22,230 --> 00:20:20,070 our next priority is our workforce 440 00:20:23,669 --> 00:20:22,240 because they're our backbone 441 00:20:25,590 --> 00:20:23,679 we've recently gone through an 442 00:20:27,909 --> 00:20:25,600 enterprise transformation in our mission 443 00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:27,919 support directorate and we will continue 444 00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:31,120 to encourage and facilitate a one nasa 445 00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:34,400 one team approach to everything we do 446 00:20:38,630 --> 00:20:36,240 we recognize that our investments in 447 00:20:41,190 --> 00:20:38,640 commercial space have broadened the pool 448 00:20:43,110 --> 00:20:41,200 of choices available to us for how we 449 00:20:45,029 --> 00:20:43,120 accomplish our work 450 00:20:47,669 --> 00:20:45,039 understanding the best practices in 451 00:20:49,990 --> 00:20:47,679 those kinds of partnerships and defining 452 00:20:52,149 --> 00:20:50,000 the unique and crucial role of the nasa 453 00:20:53,990 --> 00:20:52,159 workforce for the future is a key 454 00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:54,000 priority 455 00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:55,760 the future of work is something every 456 00:20:58,630 --> 00:20:57,600 single person in this room is wrestling 457 00:21:01,590 --> 00:20:58,640 with 458 00:21:03,270 --> 00:21:01,600 i think we all feel exhilarated 459 00:21:04,950 --> 00:21:03,280 maybe a little daunted to all be 460 00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:04,960 together again 461 00:21:09,590 --> 00:21:07,120 we believe that getting that right is 462 00:21:12,549 --> 00:21:09,600 absolutely essential to support a future 463 00:21:14,630 --> 00:21:12,559 where we're still the employer of choice 464 00:21:17,830 --> 00:21:14,640 and although this is mostly an inward 465 00:21:19,909 --> 00:21:17,840 facing priority we also intend to work 466 00:21:22,549 --> 00:21:19,919 with our industry and government 467 00:21:28,149 --> 00:21:22,559 partners to advance a diverse pipeline 468 00:21:32,789 --> 00:21:30,310 now i'd like to talk about our moon 469 00:21:35,029 --> 00:21:32,799 tomorrow strategy 470 00:21:37,590 --> 00:21:35,039 this is a special moment for us as we 471 00:21:40,950 --> 00:21:37,600 prepare to launch artemis one 472 00:21:42,549 --> 00:21:40,960 we have a pretty solid plan laid out 473 00:21:44,549 --> 00:21:42,559 through artemis iv 474 00:21:47,669 --> 00:21:44,559 we have hardware for each of those 475 00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:47,679 missions either fully completed or under 476 00:21:51,430 --> 00:21:48,880 construction 477 00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:51,440 we have clear goals for each of those 478 00:21:54,870 --> 00:21:52,880 missions 479 00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:54,880 but there's a lot of questions we have 480 00:22:01,510 --> 00:21:58,960 to answer about what comes next so as we 481 00:22:03,830 --> 00:22:01,520 prepare to launch artemis one this is a 482 00:22:06,710 --> 00:22:03,840 great time for us to stop and think 483 00:22:09,350 --> 00:22:06,720 about our moon to mars strategy 484 00:22:10,789 --> 00:22:09,360 this is a cross-cutting priority for the 485 00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:10,799 agency 486 00:22:15,110 --> 00:22:12,799 although the exploration systems 487 00:22:17,669 --> 00:22:15,120 directorate led by jim free 488 00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:17,679 is responsible for executing the artemis 489 00:22:21,830 --> 00:22:18,880 campaign 490 00:22:23,510 --> 00:22:21,840 the goal of solar system exploration 491 00:22:26,710 --> 00:22:23,520 actually spans all the mission 492 00:22:29,590 --> 00:22:26,720 directorates and yes i mean all 493 00:22:32,630 --> 00:22:29,600 aeronautics work in hypersonics directly 494 00:22:35,350 --> 00:22:32,640 supports entry descent and landing 495 00:22:38,149 --> 00:22:35,360 we see capabilities such as the current 496 00:22:40,470 --> 00:22:38,159 ingenuity helicopter on mars just 497 00:22:43,430 --> 00:22:40,480 completed its 22nd flight 498 00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:43,440 and the future dragonfly aerial vehicle 499 00:22:46,710 --> 00:22:44,960 on titan 500 00:22:51,110 --> 00:22:46,720 we're going to continue to see the 501 00:22:53,350 --> 00:22:51,120 scenes between air and space blur 502 00:22:56,710 --> 00:22:53,360 and science of course is front 503 00:22:57,990 --> 00:22:56,720 and center in exploration 504 00:23:00,950 --> 00:22:58,000 we have come 505 00:23:02,470 --> 00:23:00,960 so far since apollo 506 00:23:04,549 --> 00:23:02,480 so 507 00:23:06,549 --> 00:23:04,559 our astronauts on apollo 508 00:23:09,029 --> 00:23:06,559 had a scientific tool 509 00:23:11,590 --> 00:23:09,039 it was a scoop that allowed them to pick 510 00:23:13,430 --> 00:23:11,600 up rocks to put into a box and bring 511 00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:13,440 home 512 00:23:17,190 --> 00:23:14,320 those 513 00:23:18,950 --> 00:23:17,200 samples have proved to be a treasure for 514 00:23:21,110 --> 00:23:18,960 the whole world 515 00:23:22,549 --> 00:23:21,120 but think how far we've come in science 516 00:23:24,789 --> 00:23:22,559 since then 517 00:23:25,750 --> 00:23:24,799 the science we will be able to do in 518 00:23:28,230 --> 00:23:25,760 situ 519 00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:28,240 with more sophisticated instruments 520 00:23:33,909 --> 00:23:30,720 with maps of water ice and other 521 00:23:35,909 --> 00:23:33,919 resources available real time 522 00:23:37,590 --> 00:23:35,919 not to mention the advances we're making 523 00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:37,600 in communications 524 00:23:41,669 --> 00:23:39,120 so that we can 525 00:23:42,789 --> 00:23:41,679 have high-speed data returned to the 526 00:23:44,870 --> 00:23:42,799 earth 527 00:23:46,549 --> 00:23:44,880 surface transportation that will allow 528 00:23:48,310 --> 00:23:46,559 us to row further 529 00:23:49,669 --> 00:23:48,320 and human and machine teaming 530 00:23:51,909 --> 00:23:49,679 capabilities 531 00:23:54,950 --> 00:23:51,919 we think they're going to transform 532 00:23:56,950 --> 00:23:54,960 science on the moon and mars 533 00:23:59,190 --> 00:23:56,960 i referenced the mars sample return 534 00:24:01,750 --> 00:23:59,200 earlier that will be absolutely 535 00:24:04,789 --> 00:24:01,760 essential science to have it will help 536 00:24:07,590 --> 00:24:04,799 shape and guide our moon to mars science 537 00:24:11,510 --> 00:24:07,600 strategy particularly in the area of 538 00:24:13,510 --> 00:24:11,520 where we send humans in the future 539 00:24:14,630 --> 00:24:13,520 so now we're ready to move just beyond a 540 00:24:16,950 --> 00:24:14,640 visit 541 00:24:20,310 --> 00:24:16,960 in order to do that we need to build a 542 00:24:23,029 --> 00:24:20,320 scalable infrastructure capability to 543 00:24:25,190 --> 00:24:23,039 provide that foundation for living and 544 00:24:27,190 --> 00:24:25,200 working on another planet 545 00:24:29,510 --> 00:24:27,200 i'm talking about communications 546 00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:29,520 physician navigation and timing 547 00:24:33,190 --> 00:24:30,480 power 548 00:24:36,230 --> 00:24:33,200 in situ resource utilization prepared 549 00:24:38,230 --> 00:24:36,240 landing areas and other things 550 00:24:41,029 --> 00:24:38,240 so just as nasa has done with commercial 551 00:24:42,310 --> 00:24:41,039 crew and commercial cargo industry is 552 00:24:44,870 --> 00:24:42,320 looking to us 553 00:24:47,350 --> 00:24:44,880 to help us prove the business case for 554 00:24:49,909 --> 00:24:47,360 transportation and potentially these 555 00:24:52,070 --> 00:24:49,919 other infrastructure areas and to help 556 00:24:53,590 --> 00:24:52,080 shape the rule of law that guides a new 557 00:24:56,070 --> 00:24:53,600 frontier 558 00:24:59,110 --> 00:24:56,080 and to help create an environment where 559 00:25:03,350 --> 00:24:59,120 industries innovation and partnership 560 00:25:06,390 --> 00:25:03,360 can continue to advance what's possible 561 00:25:10,950 --> 00:25:09,430 is to create a blueprint 562 00:25:12,710 --> 00:25:10,960 a blueprint 563 00:25:14,230 --> 00:25:12,720 for sustained human presence and 564 00:25:17,029 --> 00:25:14,240 exploration 565 00:25:19,909 --> 00:25:17,039 throughout the solar system 566 00:25:22,470 --> 00:25:19,919 we will build objectives 567 00:25:25,269 --> 00:25:22,480 in these areas that i've mentioned 568 00:25:27,510 --> 00:25:25,279 they will act as our guidepost 569 00:25:29,990 --> 00:25:27,520 over the next two decades 570 00:25:31,909 --> 00:25:30,000 as individual programs advance 571 00:25:33,510 --> 00:25:31,919 and technologies advance 572 00:25:36,230 --> 00:25:33,520 to help ensure that the things that 573 00:25:39,750 --> 00:25:36,240 we're doing are integrated 574 00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:39,760 and stay focused on that goal 575 00:25:44,230 --> 00:25:42,400 we need to be very clear about what it 576 00:25:45,909 --> 00:25:44,240 is we are doing on the moon that gets us 577 00:25:47,510 --> 00:25:45,919 to mars 578 00:25:48,710 --> 00:25:47,520 we will practice 579 00:25:51,430 --> 00:25:48,720 developing 580 00:25:54,230 --> 00:25:51,440 this blueprint on the moon 581 00:25:58,070 --> 00:25:54,240 and then we will demonstrate it on mars 582 00:26:00,149 --> 00:25:58,080 in preparation for other destinations 583 00:26:01,830 --> 00:26:00,159 we don't undertake this responsibility 584 00:26:03,190 --> 00:26:01,840 lightly 585 00:26:04,789 --> 00:26:03,200 underpinning our approach is the 586 00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:04,799 essential belief that it's going to be a 587 00:26:07,590 --> 00:26:06,080 global effort 588 00:26:09,909 --> 00:26:07,600 and by that i mean 589 00:26:12,630 --> 00:26:09,919 not only worldwide in a geographic sense 590 00:26:15,269 --> 00:26:12,640 but also global in the sense that many 591 00:26:17,750 --> 00:26:15,279 fields partners and disciplines will 592 00:26:20,230 --> 00:26:17,760 have to be involved in this work 593 00:26:22,549 --> 00:26:20,240 yes we need scientists and engineers 594 00:26:24,630 --> 00:26:22,559 and we need artists 595 00:26:25,669 --> 00:26:24,640 we need partnership with nations of all 596 00:26:28,390 --> 00:26:25,679 sizes 597 00:26:29,750 --> 00:26:28,400 and companies both large and small 598 00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:29,760 academia 599 00:26:34,870 --> 00:26:31,600 citizen scientists 600 00:26:37,110 --> 00:26:34,880 the students just starting school today 601 00:26:40,549 --> 00:26:37,120 and those entering the workforce and of 602 00:26:42,710 --> 00:26:40,559 course our mentors who will help pass on 603 00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:42,720 the lessons that we have all fought to 604 00:26:48,070 --> 00:26:45,760 learn over these many decades 605 00:26:50,710 --> 00:26:48,080 nasa is kicking off an effort for 606 00:26:52,630 --> 00:26:50,720 consultation to define these objectives 607 00:26:54,789 --> 00:26:52,640 with our partners both industry and 608 00:26:58,149 --> 00:26:54,799 international so that we are addressing 609 00:27:01,909 --> 00:26:58,159 the priorities of nations and industry 610 00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:01,919 in developing this blueprint 611 00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:04,400 we recognize that the things that we do 612 00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:06,640 will carry precedence 613 00:27:12,390 --> 00:27:08,480 and that means how we go 614 00:27:15,190 --> 00:27:12,400 is just as important as what we do 615 00:27:17,350 --> 00:27:15,200 in the spirit of peaceful exploration it 616 00:27:20,230 --> 00:27:17,360 will mean adhering to our values of 617 00:27:22,230 --> 00:27:20,240 openness transparency shared data and a 618 00:27:23,909 --> 00:27:22,240 commitment to norms to help us work 619 00:27:25,990 --> 00:27:23,919 together 620 00:27:28,310 --> 00:27:26,000 we are helping to establish that playing 621 00:27:29,909 --> 00:27:28,320 field through the artemis accords 622 00:27:32,149 --> 00:27:29,919 i'm proud to say that 623 00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:32,159 singapore joined us last week as the 624 00:27:36,710 --> 00:27:34,559 18th signatory 625 00:27:38,870 --> 00:27:36,720 and more are on the way 626 00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:38,880 the artemis accords are fairly simple 627 00:27:43,830 --> 00:27:40,880 they're a set of principles grounded in 628 00:27:45,590 --> 00:27:43,840 the 1967 outer space treaty 629 00:27:48,389 --> 00:27:45,600 by which our signatories commit to 630 00:27:51,190 --> 00:27:48,399 behave in a rules-based responsible way 631 00:27:53,590 --> 00:27:51,200 in their space exploration activities 632 00:27:56,070 --> 00:27:53,600 they're based on universal principles 633 00:27:58,149 --> 00:27:56,080 that will enable the next generation of 634 00:28:00,230 --> 00:27:58,159 international partnerships for the 635 00:28:02,389 --> 00:28:00,240 exploration of the moon 636 00:28:04,070 --> 00:28:02,399 mars and beyond 637 00:28:06,149 --> 00:28:04,080 these principles 638 00:28:07,990 --> 00:28:06,159 encompass transparency 639 00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:08,000
