1 00:00:07,130 --> 00:00:04,090 a successful Mission so much so that 2 00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:07,140 these folks will tell you about all the 3 00:00:10,669 --> 00:00:09,360 additional tests that they were able to 4 00:00:13,970 --> 00:00:10,679 run 5 00:00:16,189 --> 00:00:13,980 what is the significance of this after a 6 00:00:17,109 --> 00:00:16,199 half century that we were last on the 7 00:00:23,330 --> 00:00:17,119 moon 8 00:00:25,009 --> 00:00:23,340 there we did The Impossible making it 9 00:00:29,089 --> 00:00:25,019 possible 10 00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:29,099 now we are doing that again but for a 11 00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:30,960 different purpose 12 00:00:37,250 --> 00:00:34,079 because this time we go back to the Moon 13 00:00:39,889 --> 00:00:37,260 to learn to live to work 14 00:00:45,170 --> 00:00:39,899 to invent to create 15 00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:45,180 in order to go on out into the cosmos to 16 00:00:50,270 --> 00:00:47,640 further explore 17 00:00:53,209 --> 00:00:50,280 the plan is to get ready to go with 18 00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:53,219 humans to Mars late in the decade of the 19 00:00:56,569 --> 00:00:55,199 2030s 20 00:00:59,689 --> 00:00:56,579 and then 21 00:01:02,209 --> 00:00:59,699 even further Beyond and we know from 22 00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:02,219 what we are finding from the James Webb 23 00:01:07,850 --> 00:01:03,840 Space Telescope 24 00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:07,860 that it is a very very large Universe 25 00:01:16,969 --> 00:01:13,500 out there to be understood and explored 26 00:01:18,590 --> 00:01:16,979 and so this is a great day not only for 27 00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:18,600 America 28 00:01:22,730 --> 00:01:20,640 but it's a great day for all of our 29 00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:22,740 International Partners that's a 30 00:01:30,770 --> 00:01:26,640 difference from 50 years ago 31 00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:30,780 50 years ago we went as a country as a 32 00:01:35,210 --> 00:01:31,920 government 33 00:01:39,710 --> 00:01:35,220 today we go with not only International 34 00:01:45,410 --> 00:01:39,720 Partners but also commercial partners 35 00:01:46,910 --> 00:01:45,420 and so uh it is the beginning of the new 36 00:01:51,530 --> 00:01:46,920 beginning 37 00:01:54,289 --> 00:01:51,540 and that is to explore the heavens 38 00:01:55,550 --> 00:01:54,299 thanks Jackie thank you and now Vanessa 39 00:01:57,950 --> 00:01:55,560 weish 40 00:01:59,690 --> 00:01:57,960 well thank you you know administrator 41 00:02:02,170 --> 00:01:59,700 Nelson and I completely agree with you 42 00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:02,180 this mission was just you know flawless 43 00:02:08,210 --> 00:02:06,240 I just cannot thank our teams enough in 44 00:02:11,210 --> 00:02:08,220 our teams here at Johnson Space Center 45 00:02:14,210 --> 00:02:11,220 along with our other sister centers 46 00:02:15,650 --> 00:02:14,220 across NASA and NASA headquarters it 47 00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:15,660 took all of us to make this Mission 48 00:02:20,210 --> 00:02:18,480 possible here at NASA's Johnson Space 49 00:02:23,150 --> 00:02:20,220 Center I'm just so very proud and 50 00:02:26,330 --> 00:02:23,160 thankful of our flight control team that 51 00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:26,340 did a wonderful job making sure that 52 00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:29,160 this vehicle was able to do all of the 53 00:02:35,809 --> 00:02:32,400 Maneuvers to go outbound to do its flyby 54 00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:35,819 to go further away than any other human 55 00:02:42,770 --> 00:02:39,260 rated spacecraft and then to come back 56 00:02:45,470 --> 00:02:42,780 that takes a lot of different people to 57 00:02:49,009 --> 00:02:45,480 make that happen so I also want to 58 00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:49,019 congratulate our Orion program led by 59 00:02:53,150 --> 00:02:51,840 Howard Hugh and all of the people that 60 00:02:56,050 --> 00:02:53,160 are part of that as you mentioned 61 00:02:59,570 --> 00:02:56,060 Lockheed Martin as well as East

thank you Jackie thanks Vanessa next up 88 00:04:02,990 --> 00:04:01,019 we have Janet Petro joining us from 89 00:04:04,970 --> 00:04:03,000 Kennedy 90 00:04:07,430 --> 00:04:04,980 hey good afternoon 91 00:04:10,190 --> 00:04:07,440 it really is great to be here with you 92 00:04:12,770 --> 00:04:10,200 all today you know Kennedy Space Center 93 00:04:14,149 --> 00:04:12,780 was there at the very beginning of this 94 00:04:16,789 --> 00:04:14,159 journey 95 00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:16,799 um with uh Charlie Blackwell Thompson as 96 00:04:20,509 --> 00:04:19,440 the launch director and here we are at 97 00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:20,519 the end of the mission I think you're 98 00:04:25,610 --> 00:04:22,560 going to hear from Melissa Jones who is 99 00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:25,620 the recovery team uh lead from the 100 00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:27,840 exploration ground systems uh here at 101 00:04:31,249 --> 00:04:29,520 KSC as well 102 00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:31,259 um you know and and that launch campaign 103 00:04:35,930 --> 00:04:33,360 was not easy uh there were a lot of 104 00:04:38,810 --> 00:04:35,940 setbacks but the collective team really 105 00:04:41,629 --> 00:04:38,820 Relentless relentlessly uh uh pursued 106 00:04:46,490 --> 00:04:41,639 getting that launch off and the entire 107 00:04:49,550 --> 00:04:46,500 Space Coast was lit up up as SLS and 108 00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:49,560 Orion took off and we watched we watched 109 00:04:53,749 --> 00:04:51,600 in all and then we followed the vehicle 110 00:04:55,909 --> 00:04:53,759 as it made its Journey around the moon 111 00:04:58,850 --> 00:04:55,919 and we held our breath all morning long 112 00:05:00,710 --> 00:04:58,860 as Orion did went through its deorbit 113 00:05:03,409 --> 00:05:00,720 and splashed down 114 00:05:06,050 --> 00:05:03,419 um Paces it really was uh surreal we all 115 00:05:08,629 --> 00:05:06,060 talked about it being a test mission but 116 00:05:12,830 --> 00:05:08,639 I think this vehicle in the performance 117 00:05:14,330 --> 00:05:12,840 really exceeded all our expectations I'm 118 00:05:16,490 --> 00:05:14,340 really looking forward to getting Orion 119 00:05:19,189 --> 00:05:16,500 back at Kennedy at the end of this month 120 00:05:20,930 --> 00:05:19,199 in a few short weeks where we'll bring 121 00:05:23,810 --> 00:05:20,940 it back into the processing facility 122 00:05:25,810 --> 00:05:23,820 take out the remaining payloads and and 123 00:05:28,550 --> 00:05:25,820 and services 124 00:05:30,590 --> 00:05:28,560 and then take a really good look at the 125 00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:30,600 heat shield and and see how that system 126 00:05:36,529 --> 00:05:34,080 performs but um you know I gotta say it 127 00:05:38,330 --> 00:05:36,539 is a Kennedy Space Center's 60th 128 00:05:40,909 --> 00:05:38,340 anniversary and the administrator kind 129 00:05:44,090 --> 00:05:40,919 of talked about the the previous 50 60 130 00:05:47,150 --> 00:05:44,100 years all about Apollo and shuttle and 131 00:05:50,029 --> 00:05:47,160 this is really capping off our diamond 132 00:05:52,129 --> 00:05:50,039 anniversary at uh at Kennedy as we look 133 00:05:54,010 --> 00:05:52,139 forward to the next 60 years and 134 00:05:57,469 --> 00:05:54,020 everything that Artemis is going to be 135 00:06:00,290 --> 00:05:57,479 doing for our future here at the agency 136 00:06:03,249 --> 00:06:00,300 so thank you very much 137 00:06:06,650 --> 00:06:03,259 what a way to cap off an excellent year 138 00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:06,660

in the 144 00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:18,240 Pacific so 145 00:06:22,790 --> 00:06:20,639 um a remarkable Mission by every single 146 00:06:24,950 --> 00:06:22,800 one involved congratulations to folks 147 00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:24,960 that worked on this for years some 148 00:06:28,730 --> 00:06:26,160 people their whole career some people 149 00:06:32,150 --> 00:06:28,740 half of their career it's great to see 150 00:06:35,210 --> 00:06:32,160 this first flight come to a close so we 151 00:06:37,249 --> 00:06:35,220 can move on down our path of our 152 00:06:38,870 --> 00:06:37,259 sustainable Presence at the Moon you'll 153 00:06:41,330 --> 00:06:38,880 hear a lot about Artemis one and things 154 00:06:43,129 --> 00:06:41,340 we did on the vehicle in this flight and 155 00:06:45,230 --> 00:06:43,139 still have data to review but we 156 00:06:47,809 --> 00:06:45,240 definitely pushed this vehicle far so 157 00:06:51,230 --> 00:06:47,819 that we can be now on to Artemis 2 which 158 00:06:53,629 --> 00:06:51,240 is happening today at Kennedy uh the the 159 00:06:55,909 --> 00:06:53,639 crew modules there the service modules 160 00:06:56,830 --> 00:06:55,919 there the engine section arrived 161 00:07:00,790 --> 00:06:56,840 yesterday 162 00:07:03,650 --> 00:07:00,800 that vehicle is a reality and uh 163 00:07:05,090 --> 00:07:03,660 ironically so are the next missions all 164 00:07:07,550 --> 00:07:05,100 the way out through Artemis five we have 165 00:07:11,029 --> 00:07:07,560 Hardware today in work around the world 166 00:07:13,370 --> 00:07:11,039 through Artemis five this isn't just a 167 00:07:16,249 --> 00:07:13,380 one flight and we're done we are on our 168 00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:16,259 path to getting that base on the moon to 169 00:07:20,450 --> 00:07:18,479 getting the understanding we need to go 170 00:07:23,170 --> 00:07:20,460 on to Mars and doing the science that's 171 00:07:25,969 --> 00:07:23,180 front and center here in our program 172 00:07:27,589 --> 00:07:25,979 these missions are complex we talked a 173 00:07:30,290 --> 00:07:27,599 lot about that at the beginning they 174 00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:30,300 will become increasingly complex for us 175 00:07:34,370 --> 00:07:32,160 but I think the confidence that we 176 00:07:36,830 --> 00:07:34,380 learned in the vehicle the things that 177 00:07:38,809 --> 00:07:36,840 we tested the vehicle to the way that 178 00:07:41,150 --> 00:07:38,819 the teams responded to all that I think 179 00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:41,160 give me great confidence in our path in 180 00:07:45,529 --> 00:07:43,139 the future so it's great to be a part of 181 00:07:47,210 --> 00:07:45,539 it congratulations to everyone and I 182 00:07:48,770 --> 00:07:47,220 look forward to answering the 183 00:07:51,909 --> 00:07:48,780 administrators questions of when we're 184 00:07:55,370 --> 00:07:51,919 going to launch Artemis 2. 185 00:07:57,950 --> 00:07:55,380 thanks Jim over to you Mike oh well good 186 00:08:01,370 --> 00:07:57,960 afternoon and uh thank you to each and 187 00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:01,380 every one of you that have um have come 188 00:08:05,870 --> 00:08:04,080 to follow us today on a successful 189 00:08:07,850 --> 00:08:05,880 completion of the Artemis One mission 190 00:08:10,010 --> 00:08:07,860 but especially to those that you 191 00:08:12,170 --> 00:08:10,020 followed us from our very first launch 192 00:08:14,029 --> 00:08:12,180 attempt and stayed with us through 193 00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:14,039 hurricanes and hydrogen leaks and 194 00:08:18,469 --> 00:08:16,740 technical issues throughout this team 195 00:08:21,290 --> 00:08:18,479 has really persevered through many 196 00:08:23,330 --> 00:08:21,300 challenges and from the outset we spoke 197 00:08:25,010 --> 00:08:23,340 about how this was a deliberate stress 198 00:08:28,150 --> 00:08:25,020 test of our deep space human 199 00:08:31,249 --> 00:08:28,160 transportation system and 200 00:08:34,130 --> 00:08:31,259 we've been up front with a view about 201 00:08:37,190 --> 00:08:34,140 how this was going to be a challenging 202 00:08:39,230 --> 00:08:37,200 Mission we set some bold priorities 203 00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:39,240 Priority One demonstrate the vehicle 204 00:08:43,909 --> 00:08:41,760 lunar reentry conditions we successfully 205 00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:43,919 demonstrated that today priority two 206 00:08:46,850 --> 00:08:45,360 demonstrate the vehicle in the flight 207 00:08:48,410 --> 00:08:46,860 environment we've successfully 208 00:08:50,329 --> 00:08:48,420 demonstrated that over the course of a 209 00:08:52,730 --> 00:08:50,339 2016 test flight 210 00:08:54,350 --> 00:08:52,740 priority three is currently in progress 211 00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:54,360 that the vehicle is powered down and 212 00:08:58,790 --> 00:08:56,880 it's in the Pacific Ocean and as most 213 00:09:00,889 --> 00:08:58,800 Melissa Jones will elaborate the vehicle 214 00:09:02,930 --> 00:09:00,899 recovery and retrieval is in progress 215 00:09:04,190 --> 00:09:02,940 and we expect to complete that here in 216 00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:04,200 the next couple of hours and then 217 00:09:08,030 --> 00:09:06,480 priority four our bonus objectives 218 00:09:10,370 --> 00:09:08,040 sharing the mission with each and every 219 00:09:13,070 --> 00:09:10,380 one of you public Outreach sharing 220 00:09:15,170 --> 00:09:13,080 remarkable images completing Science and 221 00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:15,180 Technology demonstrations we've 222 00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:16,560 completed that plus some bonus 223 00:09:20,930 --> 00:09:18,480 objectives so this is what mission 224 00:09:23,509 --> 00:09:20,940 success looks like folks this was a 225 00:09:26,210 --> 00:09:23,519 challenging Mission and this uh is is 226 00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:26,220 what mission success looks like 227 00:09:32,090 --> 00:09:28,800 um one of our our forefathers in the 228 00:09:33,470 --> 00:09:32,100 Apollo program Hugh Dryden 229 00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:33,480 um spoke about the purpose of flight 230 00:09:39,050 --> 00:09:36,480 testing and he said it was to separate 231 00:09:41,090 --> 00:09:39,060 the real from the imagined and the known 232 00:09:42,590 --> 00:09:41,100 from the unknown and I don't think any 233 00:09:45,470 --> 00:09:42,600 one of us could have imagined the 234 00:09:47,810 --> 00:09:45,480 mission this successful but we had a 235 00:09:50,210 --> 00:09:47,820 very successful flight test we now have 236 00:09:52,190 --> 00:09:50,220 a foundational deep space transportation 237 00:09:54,530 --> 00:09:52,200 system and while we haven't 238 00:09:56,329 --> 00:09:54,540 looked at all the data that we've 239 00:09:58,730 --> 00:09:56,339 acquired we will do that over the coming 240 00:10:01,610 --> 00:09:58,740 days and weeks and fully understand and 241 00:10:04,790 --> 00:10:01,620 appreciate the margins that are there 242 00:10:06,590 --> 00:10:04,800 um so um I'll just say enclosure 243 00:10:09,949 --> 00:10:06,600 um you know we're sharing a historic day 244 00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:09,959 with the Apollo 17 Mission and uh Gene 245 00:10:16,490 --> 00:10:12,720 cernan left a plaque on the surface of 246 00:10:18,949 --> 00:10:16,500 the Moon and and I'll paraphrase it here 247 00:10:20,930 --> 00:10:18,959 May the spirit and the peace in which we 248 00:10:24,350 --> 00:10:20,940 executed this Mission continue forward 249 00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:24,360 For All Mankind this mission was a 250 00:10:28,670 --> 00:10:25,680 peaceful mission 251 00:10:30,530 --> 00:10:28,680 using Partnerships from across industry 252 00:10:32,750 --> 00:10:30,540 with our International partners with our 253 00:10:34,310 --> 00:10:32,760 science partners and uh and we're going 254 00:10:36,650 --> 00:10:34,320 to grow out from here there are more 255 00:10:37,910 --> 00:10:36,660 complex and more challenging missions 256 00:10:39,530 --> 00:10:37,920 ahead but we've got a foundational 257 00:10:42,410 --> 00:10:39,540 capability here so with that I'll pass 258 00:10:44,750 --> 00:10:42,420 it back to you Jackie thanks Mike now 259 00:10:47,210 --> 00:10:44,760 over to you Howard thank you Jackie good 260 00:10:50,030 --> 00:10:47,220 afternoon everybody what a fantastic day 261 00:10:53,389 --> 00:10:50,040 for Orion and Artemis 262 00:10:54,889 --> 00:10:53,399 um you know Center Director wife said we 263 00:10:57,470 --> 00:10:54,899 have a fantastic team the Orion team 264 00:10:59,870 --> 00:10:57,480 would not have been uh would have been 265 00:11:02,329 --> 00:10:59,880 uh tremendously happy just getting the 266 00:11:04,430 --> 00:11:02,339 data but this accomplishment that we've 267 00:11:06,590 --> 00:11:04,440 been able to do all through this 25 and 268 00:11:08,990 --> 00:11:06,600 a half day Mission uh has been so 269 00:11:10,670 --> 00:11:09,000 rewarding uh and we've been able to get 270 00:11:12,769 --> 00:11:10,680 a lot of data and I want to thank the 271 00:11:15,230 --> 00:11:12,779 teams today they've worked really hard 272 00:11:16,490 --> 00:11:15,240 you know flight operations team has done 273 00:11:18,769 --> 00:11:16,500 a tremendous job operating our 274 00:11:20,750 --> 00:11:18,779 spacecraft our engineering team our 275 00:11:23,329 --> 00:11:20,760 safety team and our our lead integration 276 00:11:26,389 --> 00:11:23,339 team has been tremendous in trying to 277 00:11:27,889 --> 00:11:26,399 not only just get the data down but also 278 00:11:29,810 --> 00:11:27,899 looking at the data and adding 279 00:11:31,730 --> 00:11:29,820 additional objectives you know I'll give 280 00:11:33,949 --> 00:11:31,740 you some highlights you know we we were 281 00:11:36,110 --> 00:11:33,959 able to uh be very successful in terms 282 00:11:39,110 --> 00:11:36,120 of our operating our systems in space 283 00:11:40,990 --> 00:11:39,120 and our return has just been the same in 284 00:11:44,449 --> 00:11:41,000 terms of our success we were able to hit 285 00:11:46,610 --> 00:11:44,459 .02 degrees uh within what we want to do 286 00:11:50,269 --> 00:11:46,620 for our flight path angle and we landed 287 00:11:52,250 --> 00:11:50,279 uh within 2.1 uh nautical miles of our 288 00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:52,260 Target Landing site our requirement was 289 00:11:56,930 --> 00:11:54,959 uh 5.4 nautical miles so tremendous 290 00:11:59,810 --> 00:11:56,940 success in terms of Return of course we 291 00:12:03,110 --> 00:11:59,820 demonstrate six skip entry uh capability 292 00:12:04,430 --> 00:12:03,120 that went flawlessly as well and we'll 293 00:12:07,190 --> 00:12:04,440 be looking forward to our heat shield 294 00:12:09,050 --> 00:12:07,200 data As We Gather that and learn more 295 00:12:11,630 --> 00:12:09,060 about the heat shield performance when 296 00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:11,640 we get the capsule back but overall the 297 00:12:14,990 --> 00:12:13,200 mission has been uh tremendously 298 00:12:18,829 --> 00:12:15,000 successful we've been able to accomplish 299 00:12:21,230 --> 00:12:18,839 uh over 122 of our flight test 300 00:12:23,569 --> 00:12:21,240 objectives that we had planned and we 301 00:12:26,030 --> 00:12:23,579 added a bonus of 20 real-time flight 302 00:12:28,610 --> 00:12:26,040 test objectives as well so great job by 303 00:12:30,889 --> 00:12:28,620 the team happy to look through the data 304 00:12:34,370 --> 00:12:30,899 even more and are ready to accomplish 305 00:12:36,949 --> 00:12:34,380 Artemis 2 going forward so thank you 306 00:12:38,509 --> 00:12:36,959 thanks Howard and now we have Emily 307 00:12:40,430 --> 00:12:38,519 Nelson 308 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:40,440 you know this Mission this spacecraft 309 00:12:45,590 --> 00:12:42,720 and this team exceeded all expectations 310 00:12:46,190 --> 00:12:45,600 I think we're all in unison on that 311 00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:46,200 um 312 00:12:52,250 --> 00:12:49,440 the spacecraft performed so well that we 313 00:12:55,310 --> 00:12:52,260 were able to start looking ahead at 314 00:12:57,949 --> 00:12:55,320 Artemis 2 and thinking through 315 00:13:00,350 --> 00:12:57,959 how else can we push the boundaries on 316 00:13:01,850 --> 00:13:00,360 this flight what else can we learn where 317 00:13:03,949 --> 00:13:01,860 are there constraints that we can push 318 00:13:06,769 --> 00:13:03,959 on where are there opportunities for us 319 00:13:09,530 --> 00:13:06,779 to to improve on our products for the 320 00:13:11,810 --> 00:13:09,540 next flight and so for the last 25 and a 321 00:13:14,750 --> 00:13:11,820 half days we've been every day looking 322 00:13:16,370 --> 00:13:14,760 ahead to the next flight to see how we 323 00:13:19,430 --> 00:13:16,380 can improve on 324 00:13:20,930 --> 00:13:19,440 where we are today so that we can fly a 325 00:13:23,210 --> 00:13:20,940 safe and successful Mission with our 326 00:13:26,509 --> 00:13:23,220 astronauts next time around 327 00:13:29,090 --> 00:13:26,519 um the the team in Mission Control will 328 00:13:30,829 --> 00:13:29,100 spend a number of months combing back 329 00:13:33,829 --> 00:13:30,839 through every experience that we've had 330 00:13:36,290 --> 00:13:33,839 in the last month and uh improving our 331 00:13:37,850 --> 00:13:36,300 products figuring out what we could do 332 00:13:41,090 --> 00:13:37,860 better figuring out what went well and 333 00:13:42,949 --> 00:13:41,100 we want to repeat and meanwhile in low 334 00:13:44,690 --> 00:13:42,959 earth orbit we will continue to develop 335 00:13:47,930 --> 00:13:44,700 the technologies that are going to make 336 00:13:50,090 --> 00:13:47,940 Artemis 2 3 4 and sub successful we'll 337 00:13:51,590 --> 00:13:50,100 be installing another rollout solar 338 00:13:54,110 --> 00:13:51,600 array which is the technology that we'll 339 00:13:56,269 --> 00:13:54,120 be using on Gateway we'll be continuing 340 00:13:58,310 --> 00:13:56,279 to develop some of our more human 341 00:14:01,370 --> 00:13:58,320 systems inside of the space station so 342 00:14:02,870 --> 00:14:01,380 our work is has really just begun and 343 00:14:04,670 --> 00:14:02,880 we're really looking forward to 344 00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:04,680 unpacking everything that we had to 345 00:14:09,530 --> 00:14:06,480 learn from this space from this Mission 346 00:14:11,569 --> 00:14:09,540 as we prepare for the next one 347 00:14:13,790 --> 00:14:11,579 thanks Emily and now we'll head out to 348 00:14:20,690 --> 00:14:13,800 the recovery ship and hear from Melissa 349 00:14:26,629 --> 00:14:24,050 on a ship the Orion continues to perform 350 00:14:28,129 --> 00:14:26,639 anomaly even post Splashdown we just 351 00:14:30,650 --> 00:14:28,139 completed our open water hazard 352 00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:30,660 assessment of thrusters and RF radiation 353 00:14:35,870 --> 00:14:33,839 and all ropes and limits currently we're 354 00:14:37,310 --> 00:14:35,880 doing some underwater imagery to get 355 00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:37,320 some good pictures of the heat shield 356 00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:40,320 before we bring it into the ship and see 357 00:14:43,370 --> 00:14:41,760 seats are looking good for well-deck 358 00:14:46,370 --> 00:14:43,380 operations at this time 359 00:14:48,410 --> 00:14:46,380 so we'll progress with continue with our 360 00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:48,420 our Open Water operations we're going to 361 00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:50,399 put a collar around the capsule and the 362 00:14:54,829 --> 00:14:52,320 shuffle approach and we'll attach lines 363 00:14:58,329 --> 00:14:54,839 and bring Orion into the ship and at 364 00:15:04,370 --> 00:15:01,790 thanks Melissa now we'll move into the 365 00:15:07,610 --> 00:15:04,380 question and answer portion of our event 366 00:15:09,889 --> 00:15:07,620 today we'll open it up again to focus on 367 00:15:12,230 --> 00:15:09,899 the phone and here in the room again 368 00:15:14,150 --> 00:15:12,240 press star one to get into the queue our 369 00:15:17,210 --> 00:15:14,160 first question is from Marcia Dunn with 370 00:15:20,090 --> 00:15:17,220 the Associated Press 371 00:15:22,009 --> 00:15:20,100 uh hi uh Marcia Dunn at the AP here at 372 00:15:25,610 --> 00:15:22,019 the Kennedy Space Center 373 00:15:29,030 --> 00:15:25,620 um two timing questions so Artemis 2 we 374 00:15:30,889 --> 00:15:29,040 keep hearing 2024 when in the year 2024 375 00:15:33,710 --> 00:15:30,899 might that happen can you roll in that 376 00:15:37,850 --> 00:15:33,720 date at all to make it quicker and when 377 00:15:40,009 --> 00:15:37,860 will the crew of Artemis 2 be announced 378 00:15:42,410 --> 00:15:40,019 yeah I guess I'll go ahead and take the 379 00:15:45,470 --> 00:15:42,420 the first question uh we've talked 380 00:15:48,949 --> 00:15:45,480 always about around two years between 381 00:15:51,470 --> 00:15:48,959 Artemis 1 and Artemis 2. there's still a 382 00:15:53,150 --> 00:15:51,480 great deal of work to do on the uh the 383 00:15:55,370 --> 00:15:53,160 crew module in terms of the hardware 384 00:15:56,990 --> 00:15:55,380 installation I think everybody knows 385 00:15:58,329 --> 00:15:57,000 we're taking some of the boxes out of 386 00:16:01,009 --> 00:15:58,339 Artemis one 387 00:16:03,769 --> 00:16:01,019 sending them back for retest and then 388 00:16:05,870 --> 00:16:03,779 putting them into the Artemis 2 vehicle 389 00:16:07,490 --> 00:16:05,880 then the crew module and service module 390 00:16:09,650 --> 00:16:07,500 go together and go through a series of 391 00:16:11,930 --> 00:16:09,660 tests so right now you know we're still 392 00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:11,940 looking at that two-year time frame from 393 00:16:16,610 --> 00:16:14,880 Artemis one to two I think one thing 394 00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:16,620 we've always been concerned about is 395 00:16:20,750 --> 00:16:18,959 what do we learn from one and are there 396 00:16:23,569 --> 00:16:20,760 changes we have to make I think we've 397 00:16:26,569 --> 00:16:23,579 learned a lot from one uh TBD if there's 398 00:16:28,069 --> 00:16:26,579 changes so is that some of the work 399 00:16:30,110 --> 00:16:28,079 we'll be going through and then kind of 400 00:16:31,610 --> 00:16:30,120 get that final assessment on a on a date 401 00:16:33,889 --> 00:16:31,620 for two but it's we've always talked 402 00:16:35,689 --> 00:16:33,899 about two years between missions I joked 403 00:16:37,730 --> 00:16:35,699 earlier about the administrator asking 404 00:16:39,530 --> 00:16:37,740 me about it we obviously want to try and 405 00:16:43,550 --> 00:16:39,540 and do it quicker to your to your point 406 00:16:45,829 --> 00:16:43,560 Marcia and Howard and his team on the 407 00:16:47,930 --> 00:16:45,839 Orion side are always looking to ways to 408 00:16:50,090 --> 00:16:47,940 do things quicker we're trying to roll 409 00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:50,100 in Lessons Learned From the processing 410 00:16:53,990 --> 00:16:52,079 of the Artemis one vehicle at Kennedy 411 00:16:56,749 --> 00:16:54,000 are there things we can shorten there or 412 00:16:58,790 --> 00:16:56,759 optimize so that's all of our lessons 413 00:17:00,170 --> 00:16:58,800 learned path going forward in the near 414 00:17:02,449 --> 00:17:00,180 term I'll turn the second question 415 00:17:05,090 --> 00:17:02,459 Vanessa awesome 416 00:17:07,370 --> 00:17:05,100 also Marcia one of the things that we've 417 00:17:09,770 --> 00:17:07,380 been talking about is when to assign the 418 00:17:13,490 --> 00:17:09,780 crew right and so we knew that we wanted 419 00:17:15,890 --> 00:17:13,500 to wait for this mission to go make sure 420 00:17:17,510 --> 00:17:15,900 that it was a success as Jim said 421 00:17:19,909 --> 00:17:17,520 there's still some things that need to 422 00:17:22,250 --> 00:17:19,919 be learned as we get the spacecraft back 423 00:17:25,130 --> 00:17:22,260 to Florida make sure that we have 424 00:17:27,230 --> 00:17:25,140 everything that we need to know but our 425 00:17:29,390 --> 00:17:27,240 intent is if all is still go and 426 00:17:32,450 --> 00:17:29,400 everything looks good then our plan is 427 00:17:34,430 --> 00:17:32,460 to name the crew in early 2023. so we're 428 00:17:37,669 --> 00:17:34,440 looking very much forward to that we're 429 00:17:41,510 --> 00:17:37,679 our crews people are anxious we know 430 00:17:43,310 --> 00:17:41,520 that and so that is our game plan 431 00:17:44,390 --> 00:17:43,320 thank you very much that'll certainly be 432 00:17:47,510 --> 00:17:44,400 exciting 433 00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:47,520 next up we have a question from Gina 434 00:17:56,690 --> 00:17:55,130 [Music] 435 00:17:59,810 --> 00:17:56,700 what was it like to be in mission 436 00:18:02,270 --> 00:17:59,820 control for Orion splashing down this 437 00:18:02,930 --> 00:18:02,280 morning oh gracious 438 00:18:05,150 --> 00:18:02,940 um 439 00:18:06,890 --> 00:18:05,160 personally it 440 00:18:08,450 --> 00:18:06,900 you know I was talking with Rick labrode 441 00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:08,460 our lead flight director a few times 442 00:18:12,590 --> 00:18:11,280 during the day and and he commented 443 00:18:14,090 --> 00:18:12,600 several times that it just hadn't sunk 444 00:18:15,830 --> 00:18:14,100 in yet it just really hadn't sunk in so 445 00:18:19,130 --> 00:18:15,840 I'm going to Echo that it for sure has 446 00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:19,140 not sunk in yet I would also say that 447 00:18:23,630 --> 00:18:21,360 coming to work every day for the last 26 448 00:18:25,130 --> 00:18:23,640 days you've oh I feel like any minute 449 00:18:27,049 --> 00:18:25,140 now I'm going to get used to walking in 450 00:18:29,330 --> 00:18:27,059 and seeing these amazing pictures on the 451 00:18:31,490 --> 00:18:29,340 front boards and at the at the front of 452 00:18:33,950 --> 00:18:31,500 Mission Control this morning we were 453 00:18:35,330 --> 00:18:33,960 finishing up some data downloads and so 454 00:18:36,409 --> 00:18:35,340 that was using up all of our bandwidth 455 00:18:38,630 --> 00:18:36,419 so we didn't get pictures for a little 456 00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:38,640 while and then suddenly the picture pops 457 00:18:42,110 --> 00:18:40,320 up and it's the most beautiful picture 458 00:18:44,210 --> 00:18:42,120 I've seen of Earth as we're coming back 459 00:18:47,930 --> 00:18:44,220 to it and 460 00:18:50,029 --> 00:18:47,940 I mean just awe-inspiring like stunning 461 00:18:51,230 --> 00:18:50,039 you know one of us notices it and points 462 00:18:53,570 --> 00:18:51,240 at the screen and everybody else just 463 00:18:56,029 --> 00:18:53,580 pauses for a second to just soak in 464 00:18:57,890 --> 00:18:56,039 there's a ship that has just been at the 465 00:18:59,330 --> 00:18:57,900 Moon been farther away than any 466 00:19:01,490 --> 00:18:59,340 spacecraft built for humans has ever 467 00:19:03,110 --> 00:19:01,500 been and now it's about to splash down 468 00:19:05,690 --> 00:19:03,120 in the Pacific and we get to be here for 469 00:19:08,150 --> 00:19:05,700 this and so it it was it's certainly a 470 00:19:10,010 --> 00:19:08,160 momentous occasion 471 00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:10,020 thanks very much next we have a question 472 00:19:18,830 --> 00:19:17,270 yeah thanks a lot 473 00:19:21,110 --> 00:19:18,840 um a quick one for Mike Serafin if I 474 00:19:23,930 --> 00:19:21,120 could Mike what was the biggest surprise 475 00:19:25,490 --> 00:19:23,940 for you during this Mission uh something 476 00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:25,500 that might have caught you off guard or 477 00:19:29,029 --> 00:19:27,840 either happily or unhappily and you 478 00:19:31,490 --> 00:19:29,039 mentioned the Artemis 2 engine 479 00:19:32,690 --> 00:19:31,500 compartment uh getting here to KSC can 480 00:19:34,909 --> 00:19:32,700 you talk about the challenge of 481 00:19:37,250 --> 00:19:34,919 assembling the core stage in Florida 482 00:19:38,990 --> 00:19:37,260 versus michoud what that what that buys 483 00:19:41,510 --> 00:19:39,000 you thanks 484 00:19:45,169 --> 00:19:41,520 yeah Bill uh thank you for the question 485 00:19:49,490 --> 00:19:45,179 um the biggest surprise for me was a 486 00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:49,500 positive one and it was simply that the 487 00:19:53,330 --> 00:19:51,600 first time flight of a brand new rocket 488 00:19:56,270 --> 00:19:53,340 a brand new spacecraft first time 489 00:19:59,029 --> 00:19:56,280 operations went as smoothly as it did 490 00:20:01,909 --> 00:19:59,039 and I think that's a testament to the 491 00:20:04,970 --> 00:20:01,919 level of preparation and the quality of 492 00:20:07,970 --> 00:20:04,980 workmanship the just the overall level 493 00:20:10,789 --> 00:20:07,980 of test and integration and and just 494 00:20:12,070 --> 00:20:10,799 effort put into getting this Mission 495 00:20:16,610 --> 00:20:12,080 ready to fly 496 00:20:20,390 --> 00:20:16,620 in terms of uh bringing the core stage 497 00:20:21,710 --> 00:20:20,400 engine section to the Kennedy Space 498 00:20:24,110 --> 00:20:21,720 Center 499 00:20:25,730 --> 00:20:24,120 um you know that is that's an efficiency 500 00:20:28,250 --> 00:20:25,740 that we're looking at 501 00:20:31,250 --> 00:20:28,260 um and and shipping it and then 502 00:20:33,789 --> 00:20:31,260 assembling it vertically is something 503 00:20:36,289 --> 00:20:33,799 that that we've been prepared to do 504 00:20:38,210 --> 00:20:36,299 and the the infrastructure at the 505 00:20:39,830 --> 00:20:38,220 Kennedy Space Center affords us an 506 00:20:41,450 --> 00:20:39,840 opportunity to do that that as opposed 507 00:20:45,230 --> 00:20:41,460 to a horizontal integration at Mishu 508 00:20:47,930 --> 00:20:45,240 assembly facility near New Orleans the 509 00:20:50,090 --> 00:20:47,940 work at Mishu is still going to keep 510 00:20:52,669 --> 00:20:50,100 going on we still need to build tanks we 511 00:20:55,370 --> 00:20:52,679 still need to build the the large 512 00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:55,380 components and we'll ship the the bulk 513 00:21:00,610 --> 00:20:57,360 of the core stage minus the engine 514 00:21:03,289 --> 00:21:00,620 section to the cape and then made it 515 00:21:05,450 --> 00:21:03,299 at the at the cape once it gets there it 516 00:21:07,190 --> 00:21:05,460 actually affords us some efficiency by 517 00:21:09,830 --> 00:21:07,200 by splitting the workforce rather than 518 00:21:13,669 --> 00:21:09,840 than having competing Workforce on the 519 00:21:16,549 --> 00:21:13,679 on the uh our competing work instruction 520 00:21:19,490 --> 00:21:16,559 priorities on the shop floor at at Mishu 521 00:21:22,130 --> 00:21:19,500 so I think I think it's a good thing and 522 00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:22,140 uh it's it again is something that that 523 00:21:26,810 --> 00:21:24,960 we've learned how to integrate one of 524 00:21:28,250 --> 00:21:26,820 the more complex systems on the on the 525 00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:28,260 core stage I don't know Jim you've been 526 00:21:32,690 --> 00:21:30,299 in some of those conversations as well 527 00:21:34,510 --> 00:21:32,700 if you have anything to add on yeah at 528 00:21:37,190 --> 00:21:34,520 michoud we have to 529 00:21:38,570 --> 00:21:37,200 construct a clean tent around the engine 530 00:21:40,610 --> 00:21:38,580 section when we do a lot of the 531 00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:40,620 installation ends or take things off to 532 00:21:44,510 --> 00:21:42,960 test so at Kennedy we actually and so 533 00:21:46,070 --> 00:21:44,520 you take that up and down it adds time 534 00:21:48,470 --> 00:21:46,080 at Kennedy we don't have to do that 535 00:21:50,930 --> 00:21:48,480 we'll process in the space station 536 00:21:52,490 --> 00:21:50,940 processing facility so we're hopeful 537 00:21:56,330 --> 00:21:52,500 that the engine section which is 538 00:21:59,450 --> 00:21:56,340 incredibly complex uh will uh improve in 539 00:22:01,909 --> 00:21:59,460 its uh schedule time and then the work 540 00:22:03,169 --> 00:22:01,919 that Mike mentioned about Workforce you 541 00:22:05,450 --> 00:22:03,179 know we're starting to ramp up the 542 00:22:08,149 --> 00:22:05,460 exploration upper stage work at michoud 543 00:22:10,010 --> 00:22:08,159 also so we we have a lot of work for 544 00:22:12,470 --> 00:22:10,020 those folks to do on stuff out through 545 00:22:14,330 --> 00:22:12,480 Artemis 4 and we're already starting a 546 00:22:16,669 --> 00:22:14,340 weld confidence articles and structural 547 00:22:19,970 --> 00:22:16,679 articles on the exploration upper stage 548 00:22:21,770 --> 00:22:19,980 so it helps us with efficiency and 549 00:22:24,470 --> 00:22:21,780 hopefully getting to that one year 550 00:22:27,230 --> 00:22:24,480 Cadence as fast as we can 551 00:22:29,029 --> 00:22:27,240 thank you both next up in the room we 552 00:22:32,930 --> 00:22:29,039 have a question from Eric Berger with 553 00:22:36,590 --> 00:22:34,730 hi thanks very much and congratulations 554 00:22:38,570 --> 00:22:36,600 on such an impressive flight I mean it 555 00:22:39,529 --> 00:22:38,580 really was pretty awesome to watch I 556 00:22:41,149 --> 00:22:39,539 think 557 00:22:43,789 --> 00:22:41,159 um the first question is for maybe 558 00:22:46,010 --> 00:22:43,799 Howard or Mike on the coming back today 559 00:22:48,529 --> 00:22:46,020 it looked like the capsule was kind of 560 00:22:51,409 --> 00:22:48,539 swinging back and forth maybe doing some 561 00:22:52,669 --> 00:22:51,419 roll Maneuvers and is that was that as 562 00:22:54,110 --> 00:22:52,679 planned 563 00:22:55,789 --> 00:22:54,120 um and then second I guess for the 564 00:22:56,990 --> 00:22:55,799 administrator 565 00:22:59,270 --> 00:22:57,000 um I think one of the most remarkable 566 00:23:01,610 --> 00:22:59,280 things about this moment is that 567 00:23:04,370 --> 00:23:01,620 everyone is behind Artemis you got the 568 00:23:06,590 --> 00:23:04,380 White House Congress International 569 00:23:09,169 --> 00:23:06,600 allies traditional space commercial 570 00:23:11,510 --> 00:23:09,179 space and most of the space advocacy 571 00:23:13,070 --> 00:23:11,520 Community I think that's pretty unique 572 00:23:13,909 --> 00:23:13,080 at least since Apollo and so I'm 573 00:23:16,370 --> 00:23:13,919 wondering 574 00:23:18,830 --> 00:23:16,380 sort of what you attribute to that 575 00:23:23,649 --> 00:23:18,840 Universal almost Universal support for 576 00:23:28,549 --> 00:23:26,450 hey Eric thanks for the question yeah we 577 00:23:31,010 --> 00:23:28,559 do do roll Maneuvers especially up front 578 00:23:33,529 --> 00:23:31,020 on re-entry give us that lift Vector so 579 00:23:35,690 --> 00:23:33,539 it'll give us a positive factor out when 580 00:23:37,310 --> 00:23:35,700 we do the skip entry and so it's really 581 00:23:39,230 --> 00:23:37,320 important of course we will do some role 582 00:23:41,930 --> 00:23:39,240 orientation under the shoot so we will 583 00:23:44,690 --> 00:23:41,940 make sure we land appropriately uh when 584 00:23:46,490 --> 00:23:44,700 we splash down the water as well I don't 585 00:23:48,529 --> 00:23:46,500 know specific times you're referring to 586 00:23:51,529 --> 00:23:48,539 but we certainly would do some roles 587 00:23:54,350 --> 00:23:51,539 yeah yeah so I'll elaborate here a 588 00:23:56,270 --> 00:23:54,360 little bit Eric the center of gravity 589 00:23:58,370 --> 00:23:56,280 and the center lift are slightly offset 590 00:24:00,169 --> 00:23:58,380 and the way that you control the lift 591 00:24:02,270 --> 00:24:00,179 Vector is you rotate one about the other 592 00:24:03,830 --> 00:24:02,280 and you can control which direction the 593 00:24:06,110 --> 00:24:03,840 vehicle is lifting lifting up lifting 594 00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:06,120 down so those were purposeful roles I'm 595 00:24:11,630 --> 00:24:08,400 familiar and recall seeing some of the 596 00:24:13,850 --> 00:24:11,640 roles when we had a signal between the 597 00:24:15,169 --> 00:24:13,860 two blackouts and and that that was part 598 00:24:16,310 --> 00:24:15,179 of the plan and the blackouts were 599 00:24:18,950 --> 00:24:16,320 planned we knew that those were coming 600 00:24:20,330 --> 00:24:18,960 as well anyway and you had the uh the 601 00:24:22,870 --> 00:24:20,340 support question sir 602 00:24:25,549 --> 00:24:22,880 Eric the answer to your question is 603 00:24:27,350 --> 00:24:25,559 space is the place 604 00:24:30,529 --> 00:24:27,360 and and 605 00:24:32,990 --> 00:24:30,539 um you you see that you see it in the 606 00:24:36,890 --> 00:24:33,000 eyes of children 607 00:24:38,870 --> 00:24:36,900 you see it in the interaction of our 608 00:24:41,570 --> 00:24:38,880 guys in the blue suits 609 00:24:46,630 --> 00:24:41,580 our astronauts when they walk into any 610 00:24:50,470 --> 00:24:46,640 room whether it's young or old 611 00:24:53,169 --> 00:24:50,480 you see it in the 612 00:24:57,289 --> 00:24:53,179 technological prowess 613 00:25:00,830 --> 00:24:57,299 of the free nations of the world 614 00:25:04,610 --> 00:25:00,840 suddenly displaying transparently 615 00:25:07,789 --> 00:25:04,620 everything that we are doing 616 00:25:12,110 --> 00:25:07,799 uh you see that in a in a nation that 617 00:25:16,130 --> 00:25:12,120 has been Riven with partisanship 618 00:25:20,090 --> 00:25:16,140 uh that doesn't exist here NASA is 619 00:25:23,890 --> 00:25:20,100 basically nonpartisan ours and D's alike 620 00:25:27,169 --> 00:25:23,900 come together to join us 621 00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:27,179 uh and you see that reflected not only 622 00:25:32,450 --> 00:25:29,279 in the leadership here 623 00:25:34,250 --> 00:25:32,460 but you see that uh reflected in the 624 00:25:36,590 --> 00:25:34,260 people and the leadership around the 625 00:25:40,210 --> 00:25:39,110 in the little bit that I've been to 626 00:25:43,789 --> 00:25:40,220 Europe 627 00:25:47,330 --> 00:25:43,799 uh I mean people are just 628 00:25:49,190 --> 00:25:47,340 to use a phrase over the moon about our 629 00:25:51,950 --> 00:25:49,200 space program 630 00:25:56,029 --> 00:25:51,960 uh when I was at the astronomical 631 00:25:58,549 --> 00:25:56,039 conference in in Paris I got a message 632 00:25:59,529 --> 00:25:58,559 that the French President wanted to see 633 00:26:04,549 --> 00:25:59,539 me 634 00:26:07,370 --> 00:26:04,559 and uh he's a space Aficionado so he 635 00:26:09,710 --> 00:26:07,380 just comes last week for a state visit 636 00:26:13,370 --> 00:26:09,720 with our president and where does he 637 00:26:19,190 --> 00:26:13,380 want to go he comes to NASA 638 00:26:21,010 --> 00:26:19,200 uh and you see this in also the sense of 639 00:26:23,930 --> 00:26:21,020 America 640 00:26:28,610 --> 00:26:23,940 accomplishing something 641 00:26:31,669 --> 00:26:28,620 that people get excited about 642 00:26:34,070 --> 00:26:31,679 you roll all of that together 643 00:26:37,010 --> 00:26:34,080 and a lot more 644 00:26:40,010 --> 00:26:37,020 and that's why you see the excitement in 645 00:26:43,909 --> 00:26:40,020 this room today and all across the 646 00:26:45,789 --> 00:26:43,919 country and that's why you saw 60 years 647 00:26:49,370 --> 00:26:45,799 ago 648 00:26:51,070 --> 00:26:49,380 one half billion people 649 00:26:54,649 --> 00:26:51,080 of the Earth 650 00:26:58,730 --> 00:26:54,659 watching Apollo 11. 651 00:27:03,470 --> 00:27:01,370 thank you very much our next question 652 00:27:05,990 --> 00:27:03,480 comes from Chris Davenport with the 653 00:27:08,570 --> 00:27:06,000 Washington Post 654 00:27:10,970 --> 00:27:08,580 hi good afternoon and uh thank you very 655 00:27:13,250 --> 00:27:10,980 much actually my question is a follow on 656 00:27:14,990 --> 00:27:13,260 that because obviously this is a very 657 00:27:17,330 --> 00:27:15,000 big day for NASA and you have a lot of 658 00:27:20,210 --> 00:27:17,340 uh enthusiasm and momentum for the 659 00:27:22,010 --> 00:27:20,220 Artemis program uh but as we know these 660 00:27:24,649 --> 00:27:22,020 successes can sometimes have a very 661 00:27:26,690 --> 00:27:24,659 short shelf life I mean we saw that with 662 00:27:28,850 --> 00:27:26,700 the Apollo program so I'm wondering if 663 00:27:31,669 --> 00:27:28,860 you're concerned about that and how you 664 00:27:32,990 --> 00:27:31,679 keep the momentum going uh with the 665 00:27:35,930 --> 00:27:33,000 public and more importantly with 666 00:27:37,730 --> 00:27:35,940 Congress especially with the the fact 667 00:27:39,470 --> 00:27:37,740 that the Artemis 2 mission is not going 668 00:27:41,630 --> 00:27:39,480 to come for another two years from now 669 00:27:44,330 --> 00:27:41,640 thanks very much 670 00:27:47,149 --> 00:27:44,340 well Chris I'm not worried about the 671 00:27:49,730 --> 00:27:47,159 support from the Congress we will have 672 00:27:54,350 --> 00:27:49,740 that we in fact have that 673 00:28:00,230 --> 00:27:54,360 and as I described in my answer to Eric 674 00:28:05,210 --> 00:28:03,470 I believe that you're going to see a 675 00:28:08,930 --> 00:28:05,220 continued talk 676 00:28:12,289 --> 00:28:08,940 about what's going on when Vanessa 677 00:28:15,350 --> 00:28:12,299 announces who's going to be on the crew 678 00:28:17,390 --> 00:28:15,360 I I think that's going to be an 679 00:28:20,750 --> 00:28:17,400 immediate story and the American people 680 00:28:23,810 --> 00:28:20,760 just like the original Seven astronauts 681 00:28:27,409 --> 00:28:23,820 in the Mercury days are going to want to 682 00:28:30,230 --> 00:28:27,419 know about these astronauts and how they 683 00:28:33,470 --> 00:28:30,240 got to where they are and what is their 684 00:28:36,470 --> 00:28:33,480 life like and what it's going to be like 685 00:28:39,830 --> 00:28:36,480 as they prepare for this mission 686 00:28:41,510 --> 00:28:39,840 uh and I think as we continue to do 687 00:28:45,049 --> 00:28:41,520 other things 688 00:28:48,710 --> 00:28:45,059 remember uh President Kennedy uh 689 00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:48,720 uh in his speech almost literally 60 690 00:28:55,549 --> 00:28:51,840 years ago at not far from here at the 691 00:29:00,409 --> 00:28:55,559 Rice University Stadium said we go to 692 00:29:04,130 --> 00:29:00,419 the moon and do other things not because 693 00:29:07,850 --> 00:29:04,140 it is easy but because it is hard 694 00:29:09,169 --> 00:29:07,860 and that Taps into something in our 695 00:29:12,830 --> 00:29:09,179 spirit 696 00:29:16,850 --> 00:29:12,840 uh that we as a people as a people of 697 00:29:19,430 --> 00:29:16,860 free nations want to see accomplished 698 00:29:22,490 --> 00:29:19,440 and I think that's going to engender the 699 00:29:27,950 --> 00:29:22,500 interests that naturally we could be 700 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:33,350 thank you our next question 701 00:29:38,450 --> 00:29:35,810 thank you Mark carrot with the aviation 702 00:29:39,769 --> 00:29:38,460 week in space technology if I heard 703 00:29:40,430 --> 00:29:39,779 correctly 704 00:29:44,090 --> 00:29:40,440 um 705 00:29:47,029 --> 00:29:44,100 it sounds like the capsule will go over 706 00:29:50,029 --> 00:29:47,039 land to Kennedy I just wondered 707 00:29:52,070 --> 00:29:50,039 um if there's a a reason for that like 708 00:29:53,750 --> 00:29:52,080 if it's going to stop in between or it's 709 00:29:55,669 --> 00:29:53,760 just don't want to take a chance of 710 00:29:59,389 --> 00:29:55,679 putting it on the super guppy or 711 00:30:01,549 --> 00:29:59,399 something I I don't know thanks 712 00:30:03,590 --> 00:30:01,559 yeah and I um you know from our 713 00:30:06,230 --> 00:30:03,600 perspective I think we looked at both uh 714 00:30:08,570 --> 00:30:06,240 going on a guppy flying or going on the 715 00:30:10,610 --> 00:30:08,580 ground I think or maybe a few days but 716 00:30:11,930 --> 00:30:10,620 certainly there was no stops along the 717 00:30:14,149 --> 00:30:11,940 way we're going to try to get the 718 00:30:16,990 --> 00:30:14,159 spacecraft back as soon as as possible 719 00:30:20,029 --> 00:30:17,000 you know certainly dot has some 720 00:30:22,250 --> 00:30:20,039 rules relative to 721 00:30:24,110 --> 00:30:22,260 um you know the transport transporting 722 00:30:26,570 --> 00:30:24,120 something like this across the country 723 00:30:27,950 --> 00:30:26,580 but I know that the ground team has 724 00:30:31,190 --> 00:30:27,960 worked through that already and they've 725 00:30:34,070 --> 00:30:31,200 got a great plan and we expect uh like 726 00:30:36,950 --> 00:30:34,080 Janet said the spacecraft back at KSC 727 00:30:42,769 --> 00:30:38,630 thank you very much our next question 728 00:30:47,510 --> 00:30:43,970 thanks Jackie I 729 00:30:49,310 --> 00:30:47,520 get a question for Mike Serafin based on 730 00:30:51,590 --> 00:30:49,320 that early data you guys have already 731 00:30:53,510 --> 00:30:51,600 and what I guess you saw this morning is 732 00:30:54,889 --> 00:30:53,520 there anything that happened from you 733 00:30:56,389 --> 00:30:54,899 know service modules Edison all the way 734 00:30:58,190 --> 00:30:56,399 to Splashdown that might have looked 735 00:31:01,730 --> 00:30:58,200 funny or unexpected that would maybe 736 00:31:05,149 --> 00:31:01,740 warrant a closer look um and also what 737 00:31:07,850 --> 00:31:05,159 was the uh Splashdown speed of around 738 00:31:10,250 --> 00:31:07,860 just before it hit water and then I also 739 00:31:13,130 --> 00:31:10,260 just had one other question for Bill 740 00:31:15,649 --> 00:31:13,140 Nelson you mentioned that the plans take 741 00:31:18,649 --> 00:31:15,659 humans to Mars by the end of the 2030s 742 00:31:22,250 --> 00:31:18,659 um has NASA done any actual planning or 743 00:31:25,190 --> 00:31:22,260 assessments recently on that date uh for 744 00:31:28,130 --> 00:31:25,200 for going to Mars thanks 745 00:31:31,070 --> 00:31:28,140 okay uh Joey thank you for the questions 746 00:31:34,430 --> 00:31:31,080 um in terms of uh unexpected items 747 00:31:37,130 --> 00:31:34,440 during uh re-entry I am not tracking any 748 00:31:39,250 --> 00:31:37,140 issues associated with the crew and 749 00:31:41,990 --> 00:31:39,260 service module separation the 750 00:31:44,149 --> 00:31:42,000 reorientation of the spacecraft into the 751 00:31:45,250 --> 00:31:44,159 entry interface at 752 00:31:48,710 --> 00:31:45,260 um 753 00:31:51,710 --> 00:31:48,720 attitude to get aerodynamic capture the 754 00:31:54,169 --> 00:31:51,720 entire skip profile you know we did have 755 00:31:55,870 --> 00:31:54,179 two long blackouts as I recall they 756 00:31:58,610 --> 00:31:55,880 reach about six minutes in duration 757 00:32:01,370 --> 00:31:58,620 we're going to have to look at the post 758 00:32:03,830 --> 00:32:01,380 Mission data recorders after we get the 759 00:32:05,269 --> 00:32:03,840 the capsule back to shore to see if 760 00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:05,279 there was anything associated with it 761 00:32:10,909 --> 00:32:08,640 but clearly the vehicle flew the the 762 00:32:13,610 --> 00:32:10,919 skip re-entry just fine the entry 763 00:32:15,889 --> 00:32:13,620 guidance system was spot on as Howard 764 00:32:17,690 --> 00:32:15,899 indicated earlier relative to the 765 00:32:21,529 --> 00:32:17,700 targeted Landing site we came down with 766 00:32:24,769 --> 00:32:21,539 an eyesight of the recovery ship and the 767 00:32:29,590 --> 00:32:24,779 the vehicle was clean post-splash down 768 00:32:31,789 --> 00:32:29,600 the all of the operating bags that 769 00:32:34,430 --> 00:32:31,799 protect in the event that the capsule 770 00:32:36,950 --> 00:32:34,440 flips over and needs to be automatically 771 00:32:39,710 --> 00:32:36,960 operated all five of the uh the bags 772 00:32:42,730 --> 00:32:39,720 inflated and the the vehicle was powered 773 00:32:45,769 --> 00:32:42,740 down successfully without any any 774 00:32:48,409 --> 00:32:45,779 Thruster leaks or hazards or anything 775 00:32:49,549 --> 00:32:48,419 along those lines the team did leave as 776 00:32:51,950 --> 00:32:49,559 part of one of our flight test 777 00:32:54,590 --> 00:32:51,960 objectives leave the vehicle powered for 778 00:32:56,690 --> 00:32:54,600 two hours post splash down to gather a 779 00:32:58,190 --> 00:32:56,700 thermal soap back data as we as we came 780 00:33:00,830 --> 00:32:58,200 through the Earth's atmosphere of the 781 00:33:03,049 --> 00:33:00,840 vehicle saw temperatures outside of it 782 00:33:06,110 --> 00:33:03,059 at nearing 5000 degrees Fahrenheit that 783 00:33:08,810 --> 00:33:06,120 soaks back into the vehicle structure we 784 00:33:11,450 --> 00:33:08,820 did collect data by having an extended 785 00:33:12,250 --> 00:33:11,460 power up on the on the surface of the 786 00:33:14,570 --> 00:33:12,260 ocean 787 00:33:16,789 --> 00:33:14,580 all that was fine all the parachute 788 00:33:19,730 --> 00:33:16,799 deployments were fine 789 00:33:22,909 --> 00:33:19,740 um the uh probably the only thing that 790 00:33:24,769 --> 00:33:22,919 that happened that we we expected may 791 00:33:26,810 --> 00:33:24,779 happen and and was likely was the 792 00:33:29,090 --> 00:33:26,820 forward Bay cover sank in the ocean 793 00:33:30,889 --> 00:33:29,100 before we could recover it and the 794 00:33:32,570 --> 00:33:30,899 parachutes sank before we could recover 795 00:33:34,029 --> 00:33:32,580 those but we knew that that was a 796 00:33:37,430 --> 00:33:34,039 possibility 797 00:33:39,649 --> 00:33:37,440 prior to flight the fact that the the 798 00:33:43,430 --> 00:33:39,659 parachute deployment sequence was was 799 00:33:45,350 --> 00:33:43,440 all nominal really makes the uh the 800 00:33:46,669 --> 00:33:45,360 retrieval of the parachutes come point 801 00:33:48,470 --> 00:33:46,679 so 802 00:33:51,409 --> 00:33:48,480 um you know in terms of anything 803 00:33:53,090 --> 00:33:51,419 unexpected I would say no in terms of 804 00:33:54,950 --> 00:33:53,100 the Splashdown speed I didn't get an 805 00:33:56,810 --> 00:33:54,960 exact speed but we were targeting around 806 00:33:59,029 --> 00:33:56,820 20 miles an hour and that that appeared 807 00:34:00,470 --> 00:33:59,039 to be about what the uh the Splashdown 808 00:34:04,310 --> 00:34:00,480 speed was but we could follow up with 809 00:34:10,070 --> 00:34:07,009 uh the goal of going to Mars was first 810 00:34:12,770 --> 00:34:10,080 announced by President Obama and it was 811 00:34:16,310 --> 00:34:12,780 thought at the time that it would be 812 00:34:24,589 --> 00:34:19,810 but that was a dozen years ago 813 00:34:27,710 --> 00:34:24,599 and now a more realistic goal is the end 814 00:34:31,430 --> 00:34:27,720 of the decade of the 2030s 815 00:34:33,829 --> 00:34:31,440 but a lot of this will depend on the 816 00:34:36,409 --> 00:34:33,839 development of new technologies the 817 00:34:38,629 --> 00:34:36,419 ability to sustain humans for a long 818 00:34:43,010 --> 00:34:38,639 period of time all the way 819 00:34:46,550 --> 00:34:43,020 uh part of that is going to be how fast 820 00:34:49,329 --> 00:34:46,560 we can get to humans how fast we can get 821 00:34:53,450 --> 00:34:49,339 to Mars with the crew 822 00:34:56,510 --> 00:34:53,460 and uh so we finally broke through with 823 00:35:00,589 --> 00:34:56,520 the Office of Management and budget on 824 00:35:04,970 --> 00:35:00,599 on nuclear thermal propulsion and 825 00:35:08,150 --> 00:35:04,980 nuclear electric propulsion uh research 826 00:35:09,490 --> 00:35:08,160 I think that will be supportive by the 827 00:35:12,589 --> 00:35:09,500 Congress 828 00:35:14,230 --> 00:35:12,599 new technologies to propel us there 829 00:35:19,310 --> 00:35:14,240 faster 830 00:35:21,890 --> 00:35:19,320 and and so uh that is why we set a 831 00:35:26,630 --> 00:35:21,900 Target at the end of the decade 832 00:35:30,589 --> 00:35:26,640 of the 2030s to go to Mars and then 833 00:35:30,599 --> 00:35:33,589 thank you our next 834 00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:36,950 week Journal 835 00:35:42,890 --> 00:35:40,970 hi there uh administrator Nelson you 836 00:35:46,190 --> 00:35:42,900 were of course a major supporter of the 837 00:35:49,069 --> 00:35:46,200 2010 legislation uh that was key to 838 00:35:51,410 --> 00:35:49,079 getting Artemis one completed 839 00:35:53,990 --> 00:35:51,420 um do you feel any sense of personal 840 00:35:56,150 --> 00:35:54,000 Vindication today by the completion of 841 00:35:57,829 --> 00:35:56,160 the the mission you know give it 842 00:36:00,410 --> 00:35:57,839 especially given the performance of SLS 843 00:36:02,210 --> 00:36:00,420 and Orion after some of the technical 844 00:36:04,670 --> 00:36:02,220 challenges with the hardware over the 845 00:36:06,589 --> 00:36:04,680 years and criticism of that bill 846 00:36:09,710 --> 00:36:06,599 thanks 847 00:36:13,370 --> 00:36:09,720 uh the success of the mission today is 848 00:36:16,810 --> 00:36:13,380 because of a team like this 849 00:36:20,569 --> 00:36:16,820 and all the people that they represent 850 00:36:22,329 --> 00:36:20,579 including our International and 851 00:36:25,010 --> 00:36:22,339 Commercial Partners 852 00:36:27,589 --> 00:36:25,020 that's why we have come to this 853 00:36:30,290 --> 00:36:27,599 extraordinary day today 854 00:36:32,450 --> 00:36:30,300 and I got to go get on a plane and go 855 00:36:37,010 --> 00:36:32,460 back to D.C these guys are going to 856 00:36:42,109 --> 00:36:38,870 thank you our next question comes from 857 00:36:44,270 --> 00:36:42,119 Jackie Waddles with CNN 858 00:36:45,829 --> 00:36:44,280 hey everyone thanks so much and 859 00:36:47,210 --> 00:36:45,839 congratulations 860 00:36:48,950 --> 00:36:47,220 um so I thought I remembered last week 861 00:36:50,510 --> 00:36:48,960 and correct me if I'm wrong that Orion 862 00:36:52,130 --> 00:36:50,520 was going to spend like two to three 863 00:36:54,650 --> 00:36:52,140 hours in the water and it sounds like 864 00:36:56,930 --> 00:36:54,660 now it's gonna spin a bit longer maybe 865 00:36:59,630 --> 00:36:56,940 up to like five or so hours 866 00:37:02,030 --> 00:36:59,640 um is that is that true and why will it 867 00:37:03,290 --> 00:37:02,040 be in the water a little bit longer 868 00:37:04,670 --> 00:37:03,300 um and then I was also wondering based 869 00:37:06,589 --> 00:37:04,680 on the data you've collected after 870 00:37:08,410 --> 00:37:06,599 Splashdown if you could tell us like 871 00:37:13,550 --> 00:37:08,420 what exactly the cabin temperature 872 00:37:25,190 --> 00:37:15,950 is Melissa still with us otherwise I'll 873 00:37:29,210 --> 00:37:27,530 her first question was about or sorry 874 00:37:31,370 --> 00:37:29,220 her second question was about the cabin 875 00:37:33,589 --> 00:37:31,380 temperature and the first question was 876 00:37:36,109 --> 00:37:33,599 about how long Orion was going to be in 877 00:37:37,670 --> 00:37:36,119 the water she thought she had her two to 878 00:37:39,349 --> 00:37:37,680 three hours and now it seems maybe more 879 00:37:43,030 --> 00:37:39,359 like five or six so she was looking for 880 00:37:45,470 --> 00:37:43,040 confirmation and an explanation on why 881 00:37:46,609 --> 00:37:45,480 yeah I can um I can answer the first 882 00:37:49,069 --> 00:37:46,619 question and we'll have to let somebody 883 00:37:50,510 --> 00:37:49,079 else answer the thermal question so this 884 00:37:52,370 --> 00:37:50,520 recovery is about five and a half and 885 00:37:54,470 --> 00:37:52,380 half six hours and the reason for that 886 00:37:56,870 --> 00:37:54,480 is because the first two hours we had a 887 00:37:58,670 --> 00:37:56,880 power to flight test objective we have 888 00:38:00,530 --> 00:37:58,680 about an hour and a half of imagery this 889 00:38:01,670 --> 00:38:00,540 is all about Gathering data because it's 890 00:38:03,290 --> 00:38:01,680 a test flight 891 00:38:06,589 --> 00:38:03,300 um and then the last hour and a half to 892 00:38:08,510 --> 00:38:06,599 two hours will be um installing a collar 893 00:38:10,730 --> 00:38:08,520 on it attaching lines and getting it in 894 00:38:12,890 --> 00:38:10,740 the well deck so typically a recovery 895 00:38:14,690 --> 00:38:12,900 with crew on board that wasn't required 896 00:38:15,770 --> 00:38:14,700 for all the slightest objective data 897 00:38:18,589 --> 00:38:15,780 that we're trying to get in the flight 898 00:38:20,630 --> 00:38:18,599 test subjective would be significantly 899 00:38:22,310 --> 00:38:20,640 less than this in under two hours but in 900 00:38:23,870 --> 00:38:22,320 this case we're being very careful 901 00:38:25,069 --> 00:38:23,880 trying to get all the data we can and 902 00:38:26,510 --> 00:38:25,079 trying to be very careful with the 903 00:38:28,670 --> 00:38:26,520 capsule and we bring it in and we've set 904 00:38:30,530 --> 00:38:28,680 it down on the Cradle 905 00:38:33,230 --> 00:38:30,540 thanks Melissa 906 00:38:35,870 --> 00:38:33,240 I I I'll answer the second part 907 00:38:37,490 --> 00:38:35,880 um so when we landed Mike mentioned you 908 00:38:39,170 --> 00:38:37,500 know understand thermal my thermal 909 00:38:41,930 --> 00:38:39,180 environment in the cabin itself so it 910 00:38:44,210 --> 00:38:41,940 was 60 degrees Fahrenheit and when I 911 00:38:46,190 --> 00:38:44,220 left uh you know after about an hour it 912 00:38:49,130 --> 00:38:46,200 got to about 71 degrees so really great 913 00:38:51,470 --> 00:38:49,140 data very much in what we expected and a 914 00:38:53,210 --> 00:38:51,480 great way to collect the data for this 915 00:38:54,829 --> 00:38:53,220 flight and to understand how the cabin 916 00:38:57,950 --> 00:38:54,839 environment will be for the crew on 917 00:39:01,730 --> 00:38:59,569 thank you very much our next question is 918 00:39:02,750 --> 00:39:01,740 from Ken Chang with the New York Times 919 00:39:06,230 --> 00:39:02,760 thank you 920 00:39:08,150 --> 00:39:06,240 administrator 921 00:39:10,069 --> 00:39:08,160 um for congratulations on today 922 00:39:12,609 --> 00:39:10,079 looking forward to ordinance to the 923 00:39:15,109 --> 00:39:12,619 NASA's working with a company 924 00:39:17,510 --> 00:39:15,119 who today suggested that Anthony 925 00:39:20,810 --> 00:39:17,520 association should be prosecuted for 926 00:39:22,849 --> 00:39:20,820 crime and ordering is there anything 927 00:39:25,490 --> 00:39:22,859 that you know I could say that give me 928 00:39:28,730 --> 00:39:25,500 that's a pause on spacex's ability to 929 00:39:30,349 --> 00:39:28,740 execute this conduct thank you hey Ken 930 00:39:32,030 --> 00:39:30,359 I'm really sorry your your connection 931 00:39:35,630 --> 00:39:32,040 was cutting out in the room do you mind 932 00:39:40,190 --> 00:39:37,130 um can you hear me 933 00:39:41,690 --> 00:39:40,200 it's it's garbled yeah it's a little in 934 00:39:52,060 --> 00:39:41,700 and out 935 00:39:56,569 --> 00:39:54,170 [Music] 936 00:39:57,829 --> 00:39:56,579 okay we lost him so we're gonna move on 937 00:40:00,710 --> 00:39:57,839 to the next question which comes from 938 00:40:02,750 --> 00:40:00,720 Jeff Faust with space news 939 00:40:05,329 --> 00:40:02,760 a good afternoon question for uh Mike 940 00:40:06,829 --> 00:40:05,339 Serafin or Howard Hugh um I know you're 941 00:40:08,750 --> 00:40:06,839 still looking at the data but from the 942 00:40:10,430 --> 00:40:08,760 first look at the data 943 00:40:13,190 --> 00:40:10,440 um how well did the thermal protection 944 00:40:17,050 --> 00:40:13,200 system on Orion perform compared to the 945 00:40:20,030 --> 00:40:19,370 you can start Howard if you want or I 946 00:40:22,910 --> 00:40:20,040 can 947 00:40:25,310 --> 00:40:22,920 well I mean I I would say that uh it 948 00:40:27,470 --> 00:40:25,320 accomplishes a job uh returning 949 00:40:29,930 --> 00:40:27,480 spacecraft uh to the water you know 950 00:40:31,790 --> 00:40:29,940 again I think uh this is very important 951 00:40:33,950 --> 00:40:31,800 for us to collect the data divers are in 952 00:40:35,690 --> 00:40:33,960 right now getting some visuals of the 953 00:40:38,030 --> 00:40:35,700 heat shield and looked like the back 954 00:40:40,490 --> 00:40:38,040 shells were doing pretty well as well uh 955 00:40:42,470 --> 00:40:40,500 for the TPS system or thermal protection 956 00:40:44,990 --> 00:40:42,480 system so I think overall we're happy 957 00:40:46,250 --> 00:40:45,000 with the global performance but uh we're 958 00:40:48,170 --> 00:40:46,260 going to look at the data very carefully 959 00:40:51,170 --> 00:40:48,180 we've collected a lot of imagery and 960 00:40:52,910 --> 00:40:51,180 other data on its way down and when we 961 00:40:54,349 --> 00:40:52,920 get the capsule back it'll be a really 962 00:40:56,450 --> 00:40:54,359 important from an inspection perspective 963 00:40:58,550 --> 00:40:56,460 in terms of its overall detailed 964 00:41:01,069 --> 00:40:58,560 performance but I would say very happy 965 00:41:04,910 --> 00:41:01,079 with what we've seen so far on the heat 966 00:41:06,589 --> 00:41:04,920 shield yeah and Jeff I would agree with 967 00:41:09,650 --> 00:41:06,599 that you know it's it's a little early 968 00:41:11,510 --> 00:41:09,660 to say because again the uh the peak 969 00:41:13,609 --> 00:41:11,520 heating period was coincident with the 970 00:41:16,370 --> 00:41:13,619 blackout and we need to go look at the 971 00:41:18,710 --> 00:41:16,380 flight data recorders and see uh what 972 00:41:22,910 --> 00:41:18,720 what the uh the flight recorders told us 973 00:41:25,430 --> 00:41:22,920 or will tell us after after we get that 974 00:41:26,950 --> 00:41:25,440 off the vehicle but you know just the 975 00:41:31,130 --> 00:41:26,960 first blush look at the vehicle 976 00:41:33,770 --> 00:41:31,140 obviously it survived the skip reentry 977 00:41:35,870 --> 00:41:33,780 and there was some churning on the 978 00:41:37,849 --> 00:41:35,880 outside of the vehicle on the Silicon 979 00:41:39,589 --> 00:41:37,859 oxide tape we expected all that we saw 980 00:41:42,470 --> 00:41:39,599 some hazing on the windows we expected 981 00:41:44,210 --> 00:41:42,480 all that so initial indications are very 982 00:41:46,329 --> 00:41:44,220 favorable but there's there's more ahead 983 00:41:49,130 --> 00:41:46,339 of us in terms of exactly understanding 984 00:41:50,810 --> 00:41:49,140 what the the re-entry flight test told 985 00:41:52,490 --> 00:41:50,820 us 986 00:41:55,849 --> 00:41:52,500 thank you our next question is from 987 00:41:58,010 --> 00:41:55,859 David Curley with the Discovery Channel 988 00:42:02,750 --> 00:41:58,020 thank you Jackie I think this is either 989 00:42:04,790 --> 00:42:02,760 for um free or for seraphin is I know 990 00:42:07,190 --> 00:42:04,800 there's a lot of data to digest at this 991 00:42:09,530 --> 00:42:07,200 point but are there one or two or three 992 00:42:12,109 --> 00:42:09,540 things that you can tell us that you'd 993 00:42:14,210 --> 00:42:12,119 like to change from one Artemis one to 994 00:42:16,190 --> 00:42:14,220 Artemis two 995 00:42:18,290 --> 00:42:16,200 I might just talk about the one one part 996 00:42:20,569 --> 00:42:18,300 Mike and are you happy to add whatever 997 00:42:22,970 --> 00:42:20,579 you like I I think I mentioned one 998 00:42:24,829 --> 00:42:22,980 earlier about our processing flow I 999 00:42:27,589 --> 00:42:24,839 think there's things we can continue to 1000 00:42:29,510 --> 00:42:27,599 work on of uh everything we're doing on 1001 00:42:31,970 --> 00:42:29,520 the front end to improve our timeline of 1002 00:42:34,430 --> 00:42:31,980 getting the vehicles uh stacked out to 1003 00:42:37,069 --> 00:42:34,440 the pad do some of the unique Artemis 2 1004 00:42:39,589 --> 00:42:37,079 tests we're going to have to do that I'd 1005 00:42:41,690 --> 00:42:39,599 point that out from uh that stuff we 1006 00:42:43,370 --> 00:42:41,700 have under our control right now right 1007 00:42:45,650 --> 00:42:43,380 we don't need the data back from the 1008 00:42:47,569 --> 00:42:45,660 vehicle to change that we do have a 1009 00:42:49,010 --> 00:42:47,579 structured Lessons Learned process that 1010 00:42:50,990 --> 00:42:49,020 we'll go through that'll gather all this 1011 00:42:53,390 --> 00:42:51,000 information and factor into the Artemis 1012 00:42:54,950 --> 00:42:53,400 2 schedule but definitely the processing 1013 00:42:56,390 --> 00:42:54,960 for me is the Highlight Mike I don't 1014 00:42:58,250 --> 00:42:56,400 know if you have anything else um but 1015 00:42:59,390 --> 00:42:58,260 this is it's really up the gym but the 1016 00:43:01,010 --> 00:42:59,400 one change that I would like to 1017 00:43:02,750 --> 00:43:01,020 implement for Artemis too is to put 1018 00:43:05,710 --> 00:43:02,760 astronauts on board and send them to the 1019 00:43:09,770 --> 00:43:08,150 you know in all seriousness the the 1020 00:43:12,589 --> 00:43:09,780 vehicle performed 1021 00:43:14,150 --> 00:43:12,599 um better than expected and um yeah 1022 00:43:17,569 --> 00:43:14,160 that's 1023 00:43:19,250 --> 00:43:17,579 see 1024 00:43:26,089 --> 00:43:19,260 next up we have a question from Mike 1025 00:43:31,250 --> 00:43:28,490 congratulations on on suggesting flight 1026 00:43:33,230 --> 00:43:31,260 test just a quick question about the 1027 00:43:34,430 --> 00:43:33,240 sort of road to artemis2 we know it's 1028 00:43:36,589 --> 00:43:34,440 going to be a couple years it's going to 1029 00:43:39,050 --> 00:43:36,599 be a long road what do you see as like 1030 00:43:41,329 --> 00:43:39,060 the biggest challenges facing you to to 1031 00:43:43,069 --> 00:43:41,339 meet that 2024 launch date are there a 1032 00:43:44,630 --> 00:43:43,079 couple items in particular like the life 1033 00:43:46,790 --> 00:43:44,640 support system development is it more 1034 00:43:48,470 --> 00:43:46,800 like rocket production what do you guys 1035 00:43:50,569 --> 00:43:48,480 see as like the biggest hurdles facing 1036 00:43:52,910 --> 00:43:50,579 you as you look forward to Artemis 2. 1037 00:43:54,950 --> 00:43:52,920 and I think Howard uh Howard probably 1038 00:43:57,950 --> 00:43:54,960 has the the biggest perspective I'll 1039 00:44:00,650 --> 00:43:57,960 talk about the space launch system 1040 00:44:03,230 --> 00:44:00,660 um and the ground system also uh 1041 00:44:04,730 --> 00:44:03,240 together probably not challenges but you 1042 00:44:06,109 --> 00:44:04,740 know getting the the rocket down there 1043 00:44:07,790 --> 00:44:06,119 and together obviously the engine 1044 00:44:10,370 --> 00:44:07,800 section is down there the core stage 1045 00:44:12,589 --> 00:44:10,380 will ship next year and uh we'll put 1046 00:44:15,470 --> 00:44:12,599 that together the ground system folks 1047 00:44:17,690 --> 00:44:15,480 have to put the crew egress system up uh 1048 00:44:19,370 --> 00:44:17,700 that will uh that will be a big part of 1049 00:44:22,130 --> 00:44:19,380 their schedule in the in the coming year 1050 00:44:23,870 --> 00:44:22,140 so those I'd say for me on those two but 1051 00:44:26,210 --> 00:44:23,880 Howard from an Orion perspective your 1052 00:44:28,309 --> 00:44:26,220 thoughts yeah thanks Jim um you know 1053 00:44:29,750 --> 00:44:28,319 we're making great progress on the crew 1054 00:44:32,270 --> 00:44:29,760 module and the service module for 1055 00:44:34,370 --> 00:44:32,280 Artemis 2. um the teams have been 1056 00:44:35,510 --> 00:44:34,380 putting all the hardware in and we're in 1057 00:44:36,950 --> 00:44:35,520 the process of doing the testing 1058 00:44:39,230 --> 00:44:36,960 actually at the integrated system level 1059 00:44:41,089 --> 00:44:39,240 and I think uh you know to me the 1060 00:44:43,309 --> 00:44:41,099 challenges will always be you know we're 1061 00:44:45,589 --> 00:44:43,319 installing some first time Hardware that 1062 00:44:47,329 --> 00:44:45,599 uh after Jim agrees to put the crew on 1063 00:44:49,730 --> 00:44:47,339 board you know we'll we'll have uh 1064 00:44:51,410 --> 00:44:49,740 displays for the crew to monitor systems 1065 00:44:53,630 --> 00:44:51,420 and operate the spacecraft craft along 1066 00:44:55,370 --> 00:44:53,640 with hand controllers and also the life 1067 00:44:57,770 --> 00:44:55,380 support system and all those will be 1068 00:44:59,569 --> 00:44:57,780 very important elements for Artemis 2. 1069 00:45:02,210 --> 00:44:59,579 those are still ahead of us in terms of 1070 00:45:03,589 --> 00:45:02,220 overall integrated system testing and of 1071 00:45:05,990 --> 00:45:03,599 course we have stacking of the crew 1072 00:45:08,030 --> 00:45:06,000 module service module and and in the 1073 00:45:09,410 --> 00:45:08,040 fueling of the of the spacecraft so all 1074 00:45:11,870 --> 00:45:09,420 those will be ahead of us they're things 1075 00:45:13,910 --> 00:45:11,880 that we've done previously and I'm sure 1076 00:45:15,770 --> 00:45:13,920 the team will execute them as we have on 1077 00:45:17,270 --> 00:45:15,780 Artemis one and of course we'll also 1078 00:45:18,890 --> 00:45:17,280 look for Lessons Learned Jim said 1079 00:45:22,069 --> 00:45:18,900 earlier about looking for opportunities 1080 00:45:24,589 --> 00:45:22,079 uh to go faster from our Artemis one 1081 00:45:27,710 --> 00:45:24,599 flow seeing where we can improve upon 1082 00:45:31,010 --> 00:45:27,720 and take those improvements and get the 1083 00:45:32,870 --> 00:45:31,020 next mission off as soon as we can 1084 00:45:41,630 --> 00:45:32,880 thank you very much our next question is 1085 00:45:46,069 --> 00:45:43,730 do you have a tally of the total number 1086 00:45:49,490 --> 00:45:46,079 of sorry do you have a tally of the 1087 00:45:51,530 --> 00:45:49,500 total number of uh components from 1088 00:45:54,530 --> 00:45:51,540 Artemis one that'll be reused what's the 1089 00:45:57,890 --> 00:45:54,540 exact figure and what types of avionics 1090 00:46:00,109 --> 00:45:57,900 boxes are they and then what happens if 1091 00:46:01,609 --> 00:46:00,119 some of these components don't pass the 1092 00:46:03,470 --> 00:46:01,619 re-test if you have to build something 1093 00:46:05,569 --> 00:46:03,480 before Artemis 2 what does that do to 1094 00:46:07,309 --> 00:46:05,579 the schedule and if I may for Mike 1095 00:46:09,230 --> 00:46:07,319 Serafin um are you going to be the 1096 00:46:11,210 --> 00:46:09,240 mission manager for RMS 2 or will that 1097 00:46:13,069 --> 00:46:11,220 be a new person thanks 1098 00:46:14,930 --> 00:46:13,079 yeah I'll start 1099 00:46:17,150 --> 00:46:14,940 um there's uh eight types of components 1100 00:46:19,550 --> 00:46:17,160 that we're bringing home in from Artemis 1101 00:46:22,250 --> 00:46:19,560 one to Artemis two uh I'll just give you 1102 00:46:24,770 --> 00:46:22,260 a flavor uh the imu's inertial 1103 00:46:27,530 --> 00:46:24,780 measurement units are one of those a GPS 1104 00:46:29,150 --> 00:46:27,540 receivers are another the phase that ran 1105 00:46:30,770 --> 00:46:29,160 antennas that's on the crew module will 1106 00:46:32,870 --> 00:46:30,780 also be reused 1107 00:46:33,890 --> 00:46:32,880 um in relative to the retest 1108 00:46:35,690 --> 00:46:33,900 um you know we'll see what the 1109 00:46:38,329 --> 00:46:35,700 conditions are but we do have Artemis 3 1110 00:46:40,430 --> 00:46:38,339 Hardware uh that are available to 1111 00:46:41,990 --> 00:46:40,440 utilize for Artemis 2 when they're 1112 00:46:44,630 --> 00:46:42,000 available and so we'll look at those 1113 00:46:46,849 --> 00:46:44,640 very carefully uh going forward and of 1114 00:46:48,470 --> 00:46:46,859 course we'll do the testing and make 1115 00:46:50,510 --> 00:46:48,480 sure they're ready for flight for 1116 00:46:52,190 --> 00:46:50,520 Artemis 2. and I'll turn over to them 1117 00:46:53,930 --> 00:46:52,200 okay somebody else for the next question 1118 00:46:56,270 --> 00:46:53,940 yeah and Stephen thank you for the 1119 00:46:59,030 --> 00:46:56,280 question in terms of uh who the Artemis 1120 00:47:02,270 --> 00:46:59,040 2 person is that is that is Jim's call 1121 00:47:04,130 --> 00:47:02,280 and uh and uh we'll we'll uh we'll see 1122 00:47:06,770 --> 00:47:04,140 what he decides I'm I'm ready for a rest 1123 00:47:09,890 --> 00:47:06,780 after this one I look forward to uh to 1124 00:47:12,109 --> 00:47:09,900 uh to going home and uh and just 1125 00:47:14,329 --> 00:47:12,119 and and take it taking a little bit of a 1126 00:47:15,530 --> 00:47:14,339 break here but um we do have flight by 1127 00:47:17,329 --> 00:47:15,540 flight assignments and we'll see what 1128 00:47:21,589 --> 00:47:17,339 Jim decides 1129 00:47:21,599 --> 00:47:24,410 debate 1130 00:47:29,089 --> 00:47:27,050 hi thank you congratulations to all of 1131 00:47:31,730 --> 00:47:29,099 an incredible Mission uh to NASA and his 1132 00:47:33,710 --> 00:47:31,740 partner I I hope Melissa is still there 1133 00:47:36,290 --> 00:47:33,720 more important than I I want to follow 1134 00:47:38,270 --> 00:47:36,300 up on a previous question I understood 1135 00:47:41,150 --> 00:47:38,280 that the recovery timing of the average 1136 00:47:44,809 --> 00:47:41,160 recovery time in uh it's two hours for 1137 00:47:46,730 --> 00:47:44,819 uh crude Mission it stops from the from 1138 00:47:50,329 --> 00:47:46,740 the moment of Splashdown to hatch 1139 00:47:52,370 --> 00:47:50,339 opening uh if if that so is there any 1140 00:47:53,750 --> 00:47:52,380 objective on trying to minimize that 1141 00:47:56,650 --> 00:47:53,760 time 1142 00:47:59,809 --> 00:47:58,790 Melissa do you are you still on do you 1143 00:48:02,089 --> 00:47:59,819 want to try try to take that one 1144 00:48:05,030 --> 00:48:02,099 otherwise I'll take it 1145 00:48:09,890 --> 00:48:07,130 thought crude missions the requirement 1146 00:48:11,630 --> 00:48:09,900 is from Splashdown to astronauts to 1147 00:48:14,390 --> 00:48:11,640 medve two hours 1148 00:48:16,550 --> 00:48:14,400 we absolutely plan and expect to see 1149 00:48:17,569 --> 00:48:16,560 that with um our training and our 1150 00:48:21,170 --> 00:48:17,579 testing that we're going to be doing 1151 00:48:25,010 --> 00:48:23,030 yeah the only thing I'll elaborate on 1152 00:48:27,650 --> 00:48:25,020 that one is and Melissa can correct me 1153 00:48:30,170 --> 00:48:27,660 on this is we have parallel recovery 1154 00:48:32,990 --> 00:48:30,180 methods starting with a crew on Artemis 1155 00:48:34,490 --> 00:48:33,000 2. so we're preserving the option to do 1156 00:48:36,650 --> 00:48:34,500 what they call open water extraction 1157 00:48:39,849 --> 00:48:36,660 which is is literally open the hatch out 1158 00:48:44,150 --> 00:48:39,859 on the water and and get the crew out 1159 00:48:46,370 --> 00:48:44,160 to a a small boat and then transfer them 1160 00:48:48,950 --> 00:48:46,380 to the recovery ship while the capsule 1161 00:48:50,690 --> 00:48:48,960 is still in the water the the other 1162 00:48:52,010 --> 00:48:50,700 method is is literally just toe the 1163 00:48:53,990 --> 00:48:52,020 capsule with the crew in it into the 1164 00:48:55,849 --> 00:48:54,000 well deck so that we're preserving both 1165 00:48:57,770 --> 00:48:55,859 options to do that and the recovery 1166 00:49:00,130 --> 00:48:57,780 operations teams are prepared to do 1167 00:49:02,690 --> 00:49:00,140 either of those 1168 00:49:08,090 --> 00:49:02,700 thank you our next question is from Ken 1169 00:49:13,130 --> 00:49:10,730 [Music] 1170 00:49:16,010 --> 00:49:13,140 fantastic job many of us have waited 50 1171 00:49:17,870 --> 00:49:16,020 years in the Apollo generation and so 1172 00:49:20,750 --> 00:49:17,880 you've done that for both Apollo and 1173 00:49:23,450 --> 00:49:20,760 Artemis so thank you uh my question for 1174 00:49:25,309 --> 00:49:23,460 Bill Nelson is um it may be what what 1175 00:49:28,550 --> 00:49:25,319 Kenneth Chang was asking too can you 1176 00:49:30,650 --> 00:49:28,560 give us an update on uh Starship 1177 00:49:32,750 --> 00:49:30,660 production research development 1178 00:49:35,109 --> 00:49:32,760 technology are they are they building 1179 00:49:38,270 --> 00:49:35,119 Hardware are they still designing it 1180 00:49:40,990 --> 00:49:38,280 can you talk us and tell us some detail 1181 00:49:45,170 --> 00:49:41,000 about that please for the lunar lander 1182 00:49:46,870 --> 00:49:45,180 I asked the question all the time of Jim 1183 00:49:50,030 --> 00:49:46,880 free 1184 00:49:54,290 --> 00:49:50,040 is the starship 1185 00:49:56,210 --> 00:49:54,300 meeting each of the benchmarks the the 1186 00:49:59,450 --> 00:49:56,220 time schedules 1187 00:50:02,510 --> 00:49:59,460 and the answer comes back to me yes and 1188 00:50:06,609 --> 00:50:02,520 in some cases exceeding 1189 00:50:12,470 --> 00:50:06,619 I have been down to Boca Chica 1190 00:50:15,290 --> 00:50:12,480 uh it is uh a sight to behold how they 1191 00:50:17,210 --> 00:50:15,300 are putting those Starships together and 1192 00:50:20,450 --> 00:50:17,220 then the big booster 1193 00:50:23,510 --> 00:50:20,460 and their plan is that they're going to 1194 00:50:27,770 --> 00:50:23,520 do a few test flights there 1195 00:50:32,809 --> 00:50:27,780 and once they have the confidence they 1196 00:50:36,170 --> 00:50:32,819 will bring the missions to the cape 1197 00:50:38,170 --> 00:50:36,180 and until they get their permanent pad 1198 00:50:42,170 --> 00:50:38,180 on the cape 1199 00:50:44,510 --> 00:50:42,180 they will launch from the one that they 1200 00:50:48,530 --> 00:50:44,520 are constructing right now 1201 00:50:50,630 --> 00:50:48,540 that is in the Outer Perimeter of pad 1202 00:50:52,910 --> 00:50:50,640 39a 1203 00:50:55,630 --> 00:50:52,920 and um 1204 00:50:58,730 --> 00:50:55,640 you know you're developing a new vehicle 1205 00:51:03,710 --> 00:50:58,740 a new rocket 1206 00:51:05,990 --> 00:51:03,720 and uh you can expect some delays but uh 1207 00:51:07,010 --> 00:51:06,000 thus far I'm told that they are on 1208 00:51:12,309 --> 00:51:07,020 schedule 1209 00:51:17,390 --> 00:51:12,319 their plan is to do an uncrewed Landing 1210 00:51:20,030 --> 00:51:17,400 uh in 23 late 23 1211 00:51:23,450 --> 00:51:20,040 that's a year from now 1212 00:51:25,309 --> 00:51:23,460 and then to do the crude Landing in late 1213 00:51:29,210 --> 00:51:25,319 24. 1214 00:51:31,309 --> 00:51:29,220 uh so slips are always possible because 1215 00:51:33,470 --> 00:51:31,319 it's a brand new system 1216 00:51:35,990 --> 00:51:33,480 but uh 1217 00:51:39,829 --> 00:51:36,000 they have been quite impressive in what 1218 00:51:52,609 --> 00:51:41,870 thank you our next question comes from 1219 00:51:56,630 --> 00:51:54,470 and thank you for the great live tracker 1220 00:51:58,130 --> 00:51:56,640 and cameras it really felt like we all 1221 00:51:59,569 --> 00:51:58,140 went back to the Moon together which is 1222 00:52:02,569 --> 00:51:59,579 awesome because space is better together 1223 00:52:04,430 --> 00:52:02,579 and the views were expiring is there any 1224 00:52:06,109 --> 00:52:04,440 time sensitive instruments or equipment 1225 00:52:08,450 --> 00:52:06,119 that are on Orion that need to be 1226 00:52:10,910 --> 00:52:08,460 offloaded quickly we know there's a more 1227 00:52:12,890 --> 00:52:10,920 set timeline for Crews but anything for 1228 00:52:15,470 --> 00:52:12,900 the cargo or science as we see during 1229 00:52:17,450 --> 00:52:15,480 missions coming back from the ISS and 1230 00:52:18,829 --> 00:52:17,460 for administrator Nelson over the last 1231 00:52:20,390 --> 00:52:18,839 three weeks for the first time in 50 1232 00:52:22,549 --> 00:52:20,400 years we could look to the noon and say 1233 00:52:24,290 --> 00:52:22,559 we can go there there's a new Artemis 1234 00:52:25,930 --> 00:52:24,300 generation that's making a decision on 1235 00:52:27,829 --> 00:52:25,940 what their future would look like 1236 00:52:29,329 --> 00:52:27,839 administrator what encouragement or 1237 00:52:31,309 --> 00:52:29,339 inspiration did you say to this new 1238 00:52:32,870 --> 00:52:31,319 generation on why they should consider 1239 00:52:37,270 --> 00:52:32,880 the space industry as part of their 1240 00:52:41,809 --> 00:52:40,309 yeah Zach thank you for the time uh the 1241 00:52:44,809 --> 00:52:41,819 question on time sensitive uh 1242 00:52:47,150 --> 00:52:44,819 instruments and payloads we do have a 1243 00:52:49,849 --> 00:52:47,160 number of dosimeters on board the the 1244 00:52:53,690 --> 00:52:49,859 spacecraft both active and passive 1245 00:52:56,210 --> 00:52:53,700 um there are uh there's also one um bio 1246 00:52:59,569 --> 00:52:56,220 experiment payload that is on board that 1247 00:53:01,809 --> 00:52:59,579 it contains a number of organisms yeast 1248 00:53:04,190 --> 00:53:01,819 and fungus and and some other other 1249 00:53:06,829 --> 00:53:04,200 organisms that 1250 00:53:08,470 --> 00:53:06,839 um serve as basically an analog to help 1251 00:53:11,569 --> 00:53:08,480 us understand 1252 00:53:13,730 --> 00:53:11,579 radiation exposure so we've got the bio 1253 00:53:17,589 --> 00:53:13,740 experiment samples in the in the cockpit 1254 00:53:20,930 --> 00:53:17,599 of Orion we've got the uh the mare uh 1255 00:53:23,210 --> 00:53:20,940 mannequin torsos that one had a 1256 00:53:25,250 --> 00:53:23,220 radiation vest on one did not uh and 1257 00:53:27,230 --> 00:53:25,260 we'll get Baseline data from that and 1258 00:53:31,190 --> 00:53:27,240 then there are other dosimeters in the 1259 00:53:33,290 --> 00:53:31,200 cabin so those will be removed as soon 1260 00:53:35,270 --> 00:53:33,300 as we as we can once we get the vehicle 1261 00:53:37,250 --> 00:53:35,280 back to San Diego 1262 00:53:39,589 --> 00:53:37,260 um simply to basically stop the clock on 1263 00:53:41,870 --> 00:53:39,599 those and it makes it more difficult in 1264 00:53:44,150 --> 00:53:41,880 terms of understanding 1265 00:53:45,349 --> 00:53:44,160 um what the results are the longer that 1266 00:53:47,450 --> 00:53:45,359 they're sitting here on Earth and there 1267 00:53:48,950 --> 00:53:47,460 is some background radiation there is 1268 00:53:51,950 --> 00:53:48,960 some background 1269 00:53:55,490 --> 00:53:51,960 um uh decay in the in the in the 1270 00:53:58,490 --> 00:53:55,500 experiments themselves uh so that that 1271 00:54:01,609 --> 00:53:58,500 will be done to stop the clock but none 1272 00:54:05,270 --> 00:54:01,619 of those I would say are are kind of 1273 00:54:07,430 --> 00:54:05,280 um high priority in terms of the uh the 1274 00:54:09,410 --> 00:54:07,440 uh 1275 00:54:10,430 --> 00:54:09,420 overall processing of the vehicle we 1276 00:54:11,750 --> 00:54:10,440 just we just know we're going to get 1277 00:54:14,750 --> 00:54:11,760 those off the vehicle and there's a plan 1278 00:54:21,710 --> 00:54:17,630 the essence of your question was how do 1279 00:54:24,349 --> 00:54:21,720 we get the younger generation to buy in 1280 00:54:28,609 --> 00:54:24,359 to the Artemis program 1281 00:54:32,990 --> 00:54:28,619 and I would invite you 1282 00:54:36,349 --> 00:54:33,000 to come with me to any NASA Center 1283 00:54:40,130 --> 00:54:36,359 and talk to our interns 1284 00:54:42,290 --> 00:54:40,140 we hire a bunch of college interns we're 1285 00:54:44,690 --> 00:54:42,300 going to hire more by the way we're 1286 00:54:47,150 --> 00:54:44,700 getting that in the budget 1287 00:54:49,990 --> 00:54:47,160 you will come away from that 1288 00:54:54,829 --> 00:54:50,000 conversation so pumped 1289 00:54:58,130 --> 00:54:54,839 because those students will pump you up 1290 00:55:01,309 --> 00:54:58,140 with their excitement about what they're 1291 00:55:04,250 --> 00:55:01,319 doing and how they're contributing 1292 00:55:07,250 --> 00:55:04,260 I can't help but remember in the old 1293 00:55:10,490 --> 00:55:07,260 days in the Apollo program 1294 00:55:12,950 --> 00:55:10,500 uh the story was told about a ditch 1295 00:55:14,770 --> 00:55:12,960 digger at the Kennedy Space Center and a 1296 00:55:18,770 --> 00:55:14,780 reporter went over to him and said 1297 00:55:21,049 --> 00:55:18,780 describe your job he says I am helping 1298 00:55:25,309 --> 00:55:21,059 to put a man on the moon 1299 00:55:27,609 --> 00:55:25,319 I think you will see that same kind of 1300 00:55:31,970 --> 00:55:27,619 excitement and dedication 1301 00:55:33,230 --> 00:55:31,980 in the eyes and the speech of our Young 1302 00:55:34,490 --> 00:55:33,240 Generation 1303 00:55:39,349 --> 00:55:34,500 now 1304 00:55:41,109 --> 00:55:39,359 certainly with the success of this first 1305 00:55:44,690 --> 00:55:41,119 Artemis mission 1306 00:55:46,010 --> 00:55:44,700 that is the telling of a story that has 1307 00:55:49,730 --> 00:55:46,020 a plan 1308 00:55:54,589 --> 00:55:49,740 uh to going further out into the 1309 00:55:57,410 --> 00:55:54,599 universe and that in and of itself is an 1310 00:55:59,150 --> 00:55:57,420 exciting story 1311 00:56:01,490 --> 00:55:59,160 thank you unfortunately we are running 1312 00:56:03,349 --> 00:56:01,500 up on the end of our time together we 1313 00:56:05,510 --> 00:56:03,359 have time for one more question 1314 00:56:07,609 --> 00:56:05,520 the last 1315 00:56:10,069 --> 00:56:07,619 Lobby from Leo Enright with Irish 1316 00:56:15,650 --> 00:56:12,890 thanks very much and I rather like the 1317 00:56:18,170 --> 00:56:15,660 anecdote about the ditch digger I 1318 00:56:20,569 --> 00:56:18,180 suspect Jay Barbary might have been 1319 00:56:22,970 --> 00:56:20,579 involved in in telling that anecdote 1320 00:56:27,890 --> 00:56:22,980 originally my question though is for 1321 00:56:30,170 --> 00:56:27,900 Emily Nelson uh presumably no relation 1322 00:56:34,250 --> 00:56:30,180 um and I wondered about the live shots 1323 00:56:37,370 --> 00:56:34,260 we had of the other Mission Control poll 1324 00:56:40,970 --> 00:56:37,380 which was of course on the beach at 1325 00:56:44,630 --> 00:56:40,980 nordvite in Holland and I wondered how 1326 00:56:46,549 --> 00:56:44,640 that worked uh did you did you find that 1327 00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:46,559 this is something that you would be 1328 00:56:52,190 --> 00:56:49,440 comfortable with if you had women and 1329 00:56:53,809 --> 00:56:52,200 men aboard the spacecraft and you had to 1330 00:56:55,670 --> 00:56:53,819 make sudden decisions 1331 00:56:57,230 --> 00:56:55,680 and I think I missed the very first part 1332 00:57:00,950 --> 00:56:57,240 of your question could you repeat just 1333 00:57:03,410 --> 00:57:00,960 the the first part please 1334 00:57:06,349 --> 00:57:03,420 I was wondering about the service module 1335 00:57:10,250 --> 00:57:06,359 control center in nordvike 1336 00:57:12,710 --> 00:57:10,260 and uh is that uh somewhere that you 1337 00:57:14,510 --> 00:57:12,720 would be comfortable this is for Emily 1338 00:57:17,930 --> 00:57:14,520 Nelson is this somewhere that would be 1339 00:57:19,910 --> 00:57:17,940 comfortable for you if you had women and 1340 00:57:23,270 --> 00:57:19,920 men aboard the spacecraft and you had to 1341 00:57:26,150 --> 00:57:24,109 um 1342 00:57:28,309 --> 00:57:26,160 I think he's asking of our integration 1343 00:57:29,930 --> 00:57:28,319 with our remote control centers oh yeah 1344 00:57:30,770 --> 00:57:29,940 we have we have 1345 00:57:32,750 --> 00:57:30,780 um 1346 00:57:35,510 --> 00:57:32,760 more than 20 years of experience working 1347 00:57:37,490 --> 00:57:35,520 with globally distributed teams as we've 1348 00:57:40,609 --> 00:57:37,500 been controlling the International Space 1349 00:57:41,690 --> 00:57:40,619 Station and so 1350 00:57:45,290 --> 00:57:41,700 um 1351 00:57:49,130 --> 00:57:45,300 really we have 1352 00:57:50,990 --> 00:57:49,140 a number of years of experience in 1353 00:57:53,870 --> 00:57:51,000 in building those kinds of relationships 1354 00:57:55,730 --> 00:57:53,880 and making sure that all of our Global 1355 00:57:57,290 --> 00:57:55,740 teams are working in synchrony so I 1356 00:57:59,569 --> 00:57:57,300 would have no concerns over a 1357 00:58:01,430 --> 00:57:59,579 distributed team executing these 1358 00:58:02,930 --> 00:58:01,440 missions in the future and especially as 1359 00:58:04,609 --> 00:58:02,940 we bring in more International Partners 1360 00:58:07,010 --> 00:58:04,619 as we bring in more commercial partners 1361 00:58:08,890 --> 00:58:07,020 and partners across industry I think 1362 00:58:12,349 --> 00:58:08,900 you're going to see an even more 1363 00:58:14,390 --> 00:58:12,359 increasing diversity in our in our team 1364 00:58:16,910 --> 00:58:14,400 globally and and we're really going to 1365 00:58:18,530 --> 00:58:16,920 leverage all of those opportunities to 1366 00:58:20,510 --> 00:58:18,540 make these missions successful going 1367 00:58:22,790 --> 00:58:20,520 into the future 1368 00:58:24,950 --> 00:58:22,800 thanks Emily and thank you all for 1369 00:58:26,569 --> 00:58:24,960 joining us today our coverage of the 1370 00:58:28,549 --> 00:58:26,579 Artemis One mission continues on the 1371 00:58:31,130 --> 00:58:28,559 Artemis blog where you can follow along 1372 00:58:33,410 --> 00:58:31,140 for updates about Orion's Journey Back 1373 00:58:38,610 --> 00:58:33,420 to the Kennedy Space Center have a great 1374 00:59:03,109 --> 00:58:44,850 [Music] 1375 00:59:11,210 --> 00:59:06,470 the range is clear for lunch 1376 00:59:13,549 --> 00:59:11,220 firing system aren't it is May 9 1990. 1377 00:59:16,549 --> 00:59:13,559 the place's Vandenberg Air Force Base in 1378 00:59:19,430 --> 00:59:16,559 California operations manager Larry tant 1379 00:59:21,349 --> 00:59:19,440 is counting down to liftoff of the 113th 1380 00:59:24,740 --> 00:59:21,359 flight of one of the United States most
