Earth and Charter course around the Moon

20
00:02:38,570 --> 00:02:37,010
I agree with you Joe but we're going to

21
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:38,580
need a few more astronauts I think to

22
00:02:47,260 --> 00:02:41,280
get this started so everyone please help

our mission calls for four names

31
00:04:57,050 --> 00:04:55,380
it's difficult to pick just four from a

32
00:04:59,810 --> 00:04:57,060
group that by its very definition

33
00:05:01,909 --> 00:04:59,820
attracts the best and the brightest that

34
00:05:05,030 --> 00:05:01,919
Humanity has to offer

35
00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:05,040
the astronaut core our entire astronaut

36
00:05:10,909 --> 00:05:07,440
core will be the forerunners as Humanity

37
00:05:13,370 --> 00:05:10,919
looks to find its place Among the Stars

38
00:05:15,050 --> 00:05:13,380
so that while we may be recognizing four

39
00:05:17,390 --> 00:05:15,060
individuals today

40
00:05:19,969 --> 00:05:17,400
I want to thank the entire astronaut

41
00:05:22,189 --> 00:05:19,979
core for their dedication and sacrifice

42
00:05:24,050 --> 00:05:22,199
as we ask them to strap into our current

43
00:05:26,029 --> 00:05:24,060
and future spacecraft

44
00:05:29,150 --> 00:05:26,039
take those next steps

45
00:05:31,790 --> 00:05:29,160
to do the things that are hard so that

46
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:31,800
others might follow behind them

47
00:05:44,810 --> 00:05:41,990
now some of you might be scanning the

48
00:05:48,170 --> 00:05:44,820
astronaut faces trying to see who is

49
00:05:52,010 --> 00:05:48,180
missing and still hidden backstage

50
00:05:55,249 --> 00:05:52,020
well know this your Artemis 2 crew

51
00:06:03,350 --> 00:05:55,259

52
00:06:07,490 --> 00:06:04,850

53
00:06:12,570 --> 00:06:07,500
because I love you all I'm going to give

54
00:06:15,370 --> 00:06:12,580

57
00:06:24,770 --> 00:06:21,960
regardless one we set out to prove that

58
00:06:26,749 --> 00:06:24,780
the hardware was ready the SLS was

59
00:06:27,770 --> 00:06:26,759
prepared to launch our astronauts

00:06:36,290 --> 00:06:32,880
the moon and back safely again

63
00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:36,300
Artemis 1 was a resounding success and

64
00:06:40,730 --> 00:06:38,400
Artemis 2 will leverage that by putting

65
00:06:43,430 --> 00:06:40,740
humans in the loop executing operations

66
00:07:02,190 --> 00:06:43,440

as Minister responsible for the Canadian

194
00:15:23,389 --> 00:15:20,760
space agency I know Canadians could not

195
00:15:26,449 --> 00:15:23,399
be more proud proud to have for the

196
00:15:28,430 --> 00:15:26,459
first time a Canadian astronaut who will

197
00:15:33,069 --> 00:15:28,440
travel to deep space as part of the

198

00:15:41,090 --> 00:15:38,279
future of the lunar Gateway with the

00:15:50,509 --> 00:15:47,279
from that Canada will design build and

203
00:15:54,230 --> 00:15:50,519
operate a lunar utility vehicle to

204
00:15:57,590 --> 00:15:54,240
support operations on the lunar space

205
00:16:00,290 --> 00:15:57,600
and proud of the 60-year class of

206
00:16:02,750 --> 00:16:00,300
collaboration between NASA and the

207
00:16:05,750 --> 00:16:02,760

208
00:16:08,210 --> 00:16:05,760
which is fueled by bold initiatives and

209
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:08,220
scientific excellence and most

210
00:16:13,490 --> 00:16:10,980
importantly Canadians could not be more

211
00:16:15,410 --> 00:16:13,500

our two Nations

216
00:16:34,910 --> 00:16:33,120
because this is more than just about

217
00:16:37,150 --> 00:16:34,920
going back to the Moon

218
00:16:40,550 --> 00:16:37,160
this is about investing in the future

219
00:16:43,129 --> 00:16:40,560

00:16:49,610 --> 00:16:45,720
space economy from Health to food

222
00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:49,620
security to climate change and much more

223

many ways

258
00:19:06,590 --> 00:19:03,780
it's a demonstration of our ability to

259
00:19:09,710 --> 00:19:06,600
push the boundaries of human achievement

260
00:19:12,409 --> 00:19:09,720

and it's a message to the world

264
00:19:23,570 --> 00:19:21,840
we choose to go back to the moon and

265
00:19:26,870 --> 00:19:23,580
then on to Mars

266
00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:26,880
and we're going to do it together

267
00:19:33,289 --> 00:19:30,000
because in the 21st century NASA

268
00:19:35,870 --> 00:19:33,299
explores the cosmos with International

269
00:19:39,350 --> 00:19:35,880

274
00:19:53,390 --> 00:19:50,160
why because it's in our DNA it's part of

275
00:19:57,590 --> 00:19:53,400
us it's who we are as adventurers as

276

277
00:20:02,570 --> 00:20:01,200
and throughout history humankind has

278
00:20:06,049 --> 00:20:02,580

the Space Program propelled

282
00:20:16,130 --> 00:20:14,340
the moon to the Forefront of culture and

283
00:20:19,730 --> 00:20:16,140
consciousness

284
00:20:22,549 --> 00:20:19,740
it galvanized a historic effort that we

285
00:20:25,970 --> 00:20:22,559
are now the stewards of

286
00:20:29,870 --> 00:20:25,980
the Moon is a symbol

287
00:20:32,330 --> 00:20:29,880
of our can-do spirit

288
00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:32,340
and over the course of the Artemis

289
00:20:37,250 --> 00:20:35,760
missions the first woman and the first

290
00:20:40,610 --> 00:20:37,260
person of color

291
00:20:42,409 --> 00:20:40,620
will take giant leaps on the lunar

292
00:20:45,230 --> 00:20:42,419
surface

293
00:20:48,289 --> 00:20:45,240
it's been more than a half century since

294
00:20:52,310 --> 00:20:48,299
astronauts journeyed to the Moon

295
00:20:55,070 --> 00:20:52,320
well folks that's about to change

296
00:20:57,049 --> 00:20:55,080
the mission to the moon will launch four

297
00:21:00,950 --> 00:20:57,059
pioneers

298
00:21:04,730 --> 00:21:00,960
but it will carry more than astronauts

299
00:21:07,490 --> 00:21:04,740
Artemis too will carry the hopes of

300
00:21:10,190 --> 00:21:07,500
millions of people around the world it

301
00:21:13,010 --> 00:21:10,200
will carry the aspirations of the NASA

302
00:21:17,690 --> 00:21:13,020
family who glance up at the Moon every

303
00:21:20,630 --> 00:21:17,700
night knowing their efforts

304
00:21:23,930 --> 00:21:20,640
will return us to the Moon

305
00:21:27,350 --> 00:21:23,940
and it will carry the dreams of students

306
00:21:29,450 --> 00:21:27,360
who burn the Midnight Oil in libraries

307
00:21:33,350 --> 00:21:29,460

384
00:29:01,669 --> 00:28:59,159
your Relentless Drive is unmatched you

385
00:29:03,830 --> 00:29:01,679
have already made your mark in the

386
00:29:06,529 --> 00:29:03,840
remote corners of our planet you have

387
00:29:08,390 --> 00:29:06,539
already been in the history books as a

388
00:29:10,370 --> 00:29:08,400
record-setting astronaut

389
00:29:13,190 --> 00:29:10,380
you're a Trailblazer and a role model

390
00:29:15,289 --> 00:29:13,200
for every generation to come

391
00:29:17,750 --> 00:29:15,299
you've already been advocating and

392
00:29:20,210 --> 00:29:17,760
uplifting children in your community and

393
00:29:21,649 --> 00:29:20,220
I know that you are just getting started

394
00:29:25,010 --> 00:29:21,659
and

395
00:29:26,690 --> 00:29:25,020
as the only professional engineer in the

396
00:29:27,710 --> 00:29:26,700
crew

397
00:29:31,570 --> 00:29:27,720
I

398
00:29:34,190 --> 00:29:31,580
[Laughter]

399
00:29:35,510 --> 00:29:34,200
I know who Mission Control will be

400
00:29:39,230 --> 00:29:35,520
calling on when it's time to fix

401
00:29:46,970 --> 00:29:39,240
something on board so we appreciate you

402
00:29:46,980 --> 00:29:50,450
Victor

403
00:29:54,649 --> 00:29:52,549
you wanted to be a hundred different

404
00:29:56,570 --> 00:29:54,659
things when you grew up

405
00:29:59,029 --> 00:29:56,580
but I can say I'm truly thankful you

406
00:30:00,470 --> 00:29:59,039
ended up as a Navy pilot and an

407
00:30:05,990 --> 00:30:00,480
astronaut

408
00:30:08,389 --> 00:30:06,000
take flight planted the seed

409
00:30:10,610 --> 00:30:08,399
and when you heard Pam Elroy speak in a

410
00:30:14,269 --> 00:30:10,620
test pilot conference that was the

411
00:30:22,250 --> 00:30:14,279
moment you decided to apply so Pam thank

412
00:30:27,529 --> 00:30:24,830
Victor you were the first person in your

413
00:30:29,930 --> 00:30:27,539
family to graduate from college and you

414
00:30:32,389 --> 00:30:29,940
always talk about how much of the love

415
00:30:34,010 --> 00:30:32,399
and support of those around you made

416
00:30:36,889 --> 00:30:34,020
your dreams possible

417
00:30:39,470 --> 00:30:36,899
I can honestly say I've never met anyone

418
00:30:42,529 --> 00:30:39,480
as determined as you are to spread that

419
00:30:46,010 --> 00:30:42,539
same love and support until everyone who

420
00:30:48,830 --> 00:30:46,020
passes into your orbit is better for it

421
00:30:50,450 --> 00:30:48,840
you overcame every obstacle that came

422
00:30:52,669 --> 00:30:50,460
your way

423
00:30:55,310 --> 00:30:52,679
every obstacle and then you dedicated

424
00:30:58,010 --> 00:30:55,320
your life to crushing those obstacles so

425
00:31:09,889 --> 00:30:58,020
that future Generations can dream in a

426
00:31:15,830 --> 00:31:12,430
and finally read

427
00:31:17,930 --> 00:31:15,840
and explore from the beginning

428
00:31:18,950 --> 00:31:17,940
The Forest of your youth might be

429
00:31:20,750 --> 00:31:18,960
smaller

430
00:31:24,590 --> 00:31:20,760
than the frontier that you're heading

431
00:31:27,350 --> 00:31:24,600
for now but this was always you

432
00:31:29,930 --> 00:31:27,360
it's what you were meant to be

433
00:31:31,310 --> 00:31:29,940
you said for a time you wanted to be a

434
00:31:33,830 --> 00:31:31,320
train engineer

435
00:31:36,889 --> 00:31:33,840
but I don't think trades go quiet as

436
00:31:40,250 --> 00:31:36,899
fast as you need them to so

437
00:31:41,930 --> 00:31:40,260
I wish the Reed of your youth the ones

438
00:31:44,570 --> 00:31:41,940
that you know that you're dealing with

439
00:31:46,370 --> 00:31:44,580
bullies dealing with the uncertainties

440
00:31:49,370 --> 00:31:46,380
of growing up

441
00:31:51,769 --> 00:31:49,380
could meet you now meet the Reed who

442
00:31:54,169 --> 00:31:51,779
took his first jet for a spin and knew

443
00:31:58,070 --> 00:31:54,179
he was meant to soar across the skies

444
00:32:00,409 --> 00:31:58,080
the Reed who found a home and family in

445
00:32:03,049 --> 00:32:00,419
the Navy and here at NASA

446
00:32:06,230 --> 00:32:03,059
the Reed who led our astronauts into a

447
00:32:08,570 --> 00:32:06,240
new era of space exploration and the

448
00:32:11,149 --> 00:32:08,580
Reed who will lead Artemis 2 from the

449
00:32:20,230 --> 00:32:11,159
earth to the moon and safely back home

450
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,529
thank you

451
00:32:31,010 --> 00:32:27,649
all of you will lead us into this Brave

452
00:32:45,950 --> 00:32:31,020
New Frontier you are the Artemis

453
00:32:50,269 --> 00:32:48,110
and with that I will hand it back over

454
00:32:52,970 --> 00:32:50,279
to our neighbors to the north to talk

455
00:32:54,750 --> 00:32:52,980
about Jeremy who will take his own place

456
00:33:03,850 --> 00:32:54,760
in history

457
00:33:06,409 --> 00:33:03,860

466
00:33:28,009 --> 00:33:25,559
with the world a story when I was with

468
00:33:33,169 --> 00:33:30,600
saw the power of the blue suit where we

469
00:33:36,350 --> 00:33:33,179
had hundreds of people storming to

470
00:33:38,509 --> 00:33:36,360
Jeremy but Jeremy did one thing he

471
00:33:40,190 --> 00:33:38,519
thought to each and every one you took

472
00:33:41,810 --> 00:33:40,200
the time to talk to all the school

story

497
00:35:14,410 --> 00:35:11,160
this is the power of our space program

498
00:35:18,290 --> 00:35:14,420
it unites people it brings them together

499
00:35:19,970 --> 00:35:18,300

but this is a big day

550
00:38:04,790 --> 00:38:02,700
we have a lot to celebrate and it's so

551
00:38:05,990 --> 00:38:04,800
much more than the four names that have

552
00:38:07,849 --> 00:38:06,000
been announced

553
00:38:09,109 --> 00:38:07,859
we need to celebrate this moment in

554
00:38:11,030 --> 00:38:09,119
human history

555
00:38:13,670 --> 00:38:11,040
because Artemis 2 is more than a mission

556
00:38:15,829 --> 00:38:13,680
to the Moon and back it's more than a

557
00:38:18,290 --> 00:38:15,839
mission that has to happen before we

558
00:38:20,930 --> 00:38:18,300
send people to the surface of the Moon

559
00:38:24,170 --> 00:38:20,940
it is the next step on the journey that

560
00:38:27,770 --> 00:38:24,180
gets Humanity to Mars yeah you can clap

561
00:38:34,130 --> 00:38:31,609
and this this crew This Crew will never

562
00:38:35,930 --> 00:38:34,140
forget that now we have a lot of work to

563
00:38:38,150 --> 00:38:35,940
do before we get there and we understand

564
00:38:40,490 --> 00:38:38,160
that and when talking about that work

565
00:38:43,370 --> 00:38:40,500
you you may often hear people say human

566
00:38:45,290 --> 00:38:43,380
spaceflight is a marathon not a Sprint

567
00:38:48,170 --> 00:38:45,300
but we have watched the people that work

568
00:38:51,290 --> 00:38:48,180
so hard to make our mission possible and

569
00:38:54,109 --> 00:38:51,300
I can tell you it is a series of sprints

570
00:38:56,030 --> 00:38:54,119
that's called a relay race human space

571
00:38:58,190 --> 00:38:56,040
fight is like a relay race and that

572
00:39:00,890 --> 00:38:58,200
baton has been passed generation to

573
00:39:01,790 --> 00:39:00,900
generation and from crew member to crew

574
00:39:04,849 --> 00:39:01,800
member

575
00:39:08,450 --> 00:39:04,859

crew and the and now the Artemis

579
00:39:17,210 --> 00:39:14,339
missions

580
00:39:18,470 --> 00:39:17,220
and we understand our role in that and

581
00:39:21,410 --> 00:39:18,480
when we have the privilege of having

582
00:39:24,589 --> 00:39:21,420
that baton we're going to do our best to

583
00:39:27,349 --> 00:39:24,599
run a good race to make you proud

584
00:39:30,349 --> 00:39:27,359
I pray that God will bless this mission

585
00:39:32,870 --> 00:39:30,359
but I also pray that we can continue to

586
00:39:35,750 --> 00:39:32,880
serve as a source of inspiration for

587
00:39:38,870 --> 00:39:35,760
cooperation and peace not just between

588
00:39:48,970 --> 00:39:38,880
nations but in our own Nation thank you

589
00:39:48,980 --> 00:39:55,550
thank you

590
00:40:00,050 --> 00:39:58,550
thanks Victor awesome words what I uh

591
00:40:02,329 --> 00:40:00,060
what I wanted to highlight for all of

592
00:40:04,069 --> 00:40:02,339
you today is uh well you know big

593
00:40:06,470 --> 00:40:04,079
picture when I step back there are two

594
00:40:10,730 --> 00:40:06,480
reasons why a Canadian is going to the

595
00:40:17,750 --> 00:40:15,230
uh the first one is American leadership

596
00:40:19,370 --> 00:40:17,760
it is not lost on any of us that the

597
00:40:20,930 --> 00:40:19,380
United States could choose to go back to

598
00:40:24,170 --> 00:40:20,940
the Moon by themselves

599
00:40:27,170 --> 00:40:24,180
but America has made a very deliberate

600
00:40:30,589 --> 00:40:27,180
Choice over decades to curate a global

601
00:40:31,730 --> 00:40:30,599
team and that in my definition is true

602
00:40:35,569 --> 00:40:31,740
leadership

603
00:40:38,329 --> 00:40:35,579
a body an entity that seeks out others

604
00:40:41,030 --> 00:40:38,339
who can contribute right allows them to

605
00:40:43,730 --> 00:40:41,040
rise up lifts them up to make their

606
00:40:45,589 --> 00:40:43,740
contributions to bring their genius that

607
00:40:47,930 --> 00:40:45,599
is American leadership and as a Canadian

608
00:40:51,109 --> 00:40:47,940
I am very proud to reflect that back to

609
00:40:53,510 --> 00:40:51,119
you and I am grateful all Canada is all

610
00:41:03,170 --> 00:40:53,520
of Canada is grateful for that Global

611
00:41:08,510 --> 00:41:05,089
thank you

612
00:41:09,770 --> 00:41:08,520
the second reason is Canada's can do

613
00:41:16,910 --> 00:41:09,780
attitude

614
00:41:22,970 --> 00:41:19,790
for decades now literally thousands upon

615
00:41:26,030 --> 00:41:22,980
thousands of Canadians have risen to

616
00:41:27,530 --> 00:41:26,040
that challenge to bring real value to

617
00:41:29,329 --> 00:41:27,540
the international partnership with

618
00:41:32,150 --> 00:41:29,339
respect to space exploration to bring

619
00:41:35,630 --> 00:41:32,160
real solutions our scientists our

620
00:41:37,370 --> 00:41:35,640
Engineers the Canadian space agency the

621
00:41:39,470 --> 00:41:37,380
Canadian Armed Forces across government

622
00:41:42,109 --> 00:41:39,480
all of our leadership

623
00:41:44,329 --> 00:41:42,119
working together under a vision to take

624
00:41:46,250 --> 00:41:44,339
step by step and all of those have added

625
00:41:47,810 --> 00:41:46,260
up to this moment where a Canadian is

626
00:41:53,930 --> 00:41:47,820
going to the Moon with our International

627
00:41:53,940 --> 00:41:58,670
foreign

628
00:42:04,250 --> 00:42:01,550
so at the end of it all I am left in awe

629
00:42:06,349 --> 00:42:04,260
of being reminded what strong leadership

630
00:42:08,690 --> 00:42:06,359
setting big goals with a passion to

631
00:42:10,670 --> 00:42:08,700
collaborate and a can-do attitude can

632
00:42:23,150 --> 00:42:10,680
achieve and we are going to the Moon

633
00:42:27,109 --> 00:42:25,609
thank you uh Victor thank you Jeremy

634
00:42:30,650 --> 00:42:27,119
thank you Reed

635
00:42:33,349 --> 00:42:30,660
it is an honor to be here I also want to

636
00:42:35,870 --> 00:42:33,359
thank our families the Trailblazers our

637
00:42:38,329 --> 00:42:35,880
colleagues and our leadership

638
00:42:40,370 --> 00:42:38,339
my fellow astronauts know that one of

639
00:42:41,569 --> 00:42:40,380
the questions we get all the time is are

640
00:42:44,150 --> 00:42:41,579
you excited

641
00:42:47,030 --> 00:42:44,160
and I can tell you when I think about

642
00:42:50,030 --> 00:42:47,040
this Mission that's a relay race with

643
00:42:52,730 --> 00:42:50,040
International Partners it's also so

644
00:42:55,190 --> 00:42:52,740
awesome in and of itself

645
00:42:57,109 --> 00:42:55,200
we are going to launch from Kennedy

646
00:42:59,750 --> 00:42:57,119
Space Center through the work of the

647
00:43:02,270 --> 00:42:59,760
exploration ground systems team

648
00:43:03,470 --> 00:43:02,280
we're going to hear the words go for

649
00:43:06,170 --> 00:43:03,480
launch

650
00:43:08,390 --> 00:43:06,180
on top of the most powerful rocket

651
00:43:10,790 --> 00:43:08,400
NASA's ever made the space launch system

652
00:43:13,670 --> 00:43:10,800
and we're going to ride that rocket for

653
00:43:15,290 --> 00:43:13,680
eight minutes into Earth orbit we're not

654
00:43:18,170 --> 00:43:15,300
going to go to the moon right away

655
00:43:20,630 --> 00:43:18,180
we're going to stay in an amazing High

656
00:43:22,790 --> 00:43:20,640
orbit reaching a peak of tens of

657
00:43:25,370 --> 00:43:22,800
thousands of miles while we test out all

658
00:43:28,069 --> 00:43:25,380
the systems on Orion and even see how it

659
00:43:30,109 --> 00:43:28,079
Maneuvers in space and then if

660
00:43:41,329 --> 00:43:30,119
everything looks good we're heading to

661
00:43:45,950 --> 00:43:43,970
it will be a four day Journey going a

662
00:43:48,050 --> 00:43:45,960
quarter of a million miles

663
00:43:50,390 --> 00:43:48,060
continuing to test out every bit of

664
00:43:52,910 --> 00:43:50,400
Orion going around The Far Side of the

665
00:43:55,550 --> 00:43:52,920
Moon heading home

666
00:43:57,170 --> 00:43:55,560
going through the Earth's atmosphere at

667
00:43:59,569 --> 00:43:57,180
over 25

668
00:44:00,770 --> 00:43:59,579
000 miles per hour and splashing down in

669
00:44:01,849 --> 00:44:00,780
the Pacific

670
00:44:04,370 --> 00:44:01,859
so

671
00:44:14,870 --> 00:44:04,380
am I excited

672
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:20,809

677
00:44:36,470 --> 00:44:33,720

Steve Bowen likes to say human space

772
00:52:26,089 --> 00:52:22,079
flight is the ultimate team sport

773
00:52:27,950 --> 00:52:26,099
when these four fly around the Moon they

774
00:52:30,470 --> 00:52:27,960
won't be doing it alone

775
00:52:32,829 --> 00:52:30,480
they're part of a team a team of

the globe ready day and night

780
00:52:49,609 --> 00:52:46,440
so we'll cheer them on we will help them

00:52:52,250 --> 00:52:49,619
carry the incredible weight and it's a

782
00:52:57,109 --> 00:52:52,260
heavy one now laid on their shoulders

783
00:53:01,910 --> 00:52:57,119

793
00:54:13,910 --> 00:54:12,170
when I was young I had a poster of the

794
00:54:17,030 --> 00:54:13,920
earthrise picture the famous picture

795
00:54:19,430 --> 00:54:17,040
that was taken on Apollo 8 and the fact

796
00:54:21,410 --> 00:54:19,440
that it was a human behind the lens that

797
00:54:23,569 --> 00:54:21,420
made that picture so profound and

798
00:54:27,049 --> 00:54:23,579
changed how we all thought of our own

799
00:54:29,990 --> 00:54:27,059
home was so amazing to me the Moon is

800
00:54:32,030 --> 00:54:30,000
not just a symbol of thinking about our

801
00:54:34,549 --> 00:54:32,040
place in the universe it's not just a

802
00:54:36,470 --> 00:54:34,559
symbol of exploration it's actually a

803
00:54:38,690 --> 00:54:36,480
beacon for science it's a beacon for

804
00:54:40,670 --> 00:54:38,700
understanding where we came from

805
00:54:43,130 --> 00:54:40,680
you know pushing ourselves to explore is

806
00:54:45,589 --> 00:54:43,140
just core to who we are that's a part of

807
00:54:47,510 --> 00:54:45,599
being a human that's our nature we go

808
00:54:49,910 --> 00:54:47,520
out there and we explore to learn about

809
00:54:51,770 --> 00:54:49,920
where we are why we are understanding

810
00:54:53,870 --> 00:54:51,780
the big questions about our place in the

811
00:54:56,210 --> 00:54:53,880
universe the exploration we're doing is

812
00:54:58,670 --> 00:54:56,220
the first few steps on the path of

813
00:55:00,530 --> 00:54:58,680
getting humans to Mars the Artemis

814
00:55:03,410 --> 00:55:00,540
campaign emissions have set such an

815
00:55:05,809 --> 00:55:03,420
ambitious goal for Humanity that it's

816
00:55:07,849 --> 00:55:05,819
inspiring contributions from around the

817
00:55:09,470 --> 00:55:07,859
globe not just one nation is inspired

818
00:55:11,170 --> 00:55:09,480
and moved by this but nations from

819
00:55:14,630 --> 00:55:11,180
around the globe are coming together

820
00:55:17,870 --> 00:55:14,640
when I look at the Artemis 2 crew with

821
00:55:20,210 --> 00:55:17,880
Victor Christina and Jeremy they want to

822
00:55:23,809 --> 00:55:20,220
go do this Mission they are keenly

823
00:55:26,510 --> 00:55:23,819
driven they are humble to a thought it

824
00:55:28,730 --> 00:55:26,520
is so cool to be around them Artemis 2

825
00:55:31,250 --> 00:55:28,740
is a huge Mission but I hope we will

826
00:55:32,750 --> 00:55:31,260
look back and realize that this was one

827
00:55:34,849 --> 00:55:32,760
tiny step

828
00:55:35,270 --> 00:55:34,859
humans on Mars and the sustained

829
00:55:39,849 --> 00:55:35,280
presence

830
00:55:44,329 --> 00:55:42,530
too will be NASA's first crude flight

831
00:55:46,849 --> 00:55:44,339
test of the space launch system rocket

832
00:55:49,190 --> 00:55:46,859
and Orion spacecraft around the Moon to

833
00:55:51,530 --> 00:55:49,200
verify today's capabilities for humans

834
00:55:53,510 --> 00:55:51,540
to explore deep space and pave the way

835
00:55:55,730 --> 00:55:53,520
for NASA's long-term human and

836
00:55:58,180 --> 00:55:55,740
scientific presence on the lunar surface

837
00:56:08,510 --> 00:55:58,190
we are artists

foreign

839
00:56:23,270 --> 00:56:20,690
Trail we blazed cut through the fictions

840
00:56:24,829 --> 00:56:23,280
of Science and showed us all what was

841
00:56:27,049 --> 00:56:24,839
possible

842
00:56:29,020 --> 00:56:27,059
very pretty out here today our calling

843
00:56:30,109 --> 00:56:29,030
to explore is even greater

844
00:56:32,150 --> 00:56:30,119
[Music]

845
00:56:34,309 --> 00:56:32,160
to go farther we must be able to sustain

846
00:56:37,490 --> 00:56:34,319
missions of Greater distance and

847
00:56:39,589 --> 00:56:37,500
duration we must use the resources we

848
00:56:43,730 --> 00:56:39,599
find at our destinations

849
00:56:46,730 --> 00:56:43,740
we must overcome radiation isolation

850
00:56:49,730 --> 00:56:46,740
gravity and extreme environments like

851
00:56:53,210 --> 00:56:49,740
never before these are the challenges we

852
00:56:58,309 --> 00:56:53,220
Face to push the bounds of humanity

853
00:57:01,670 --> 00:56:58,319
we're going to the Moon to stay by 2024

854
00:57:04,430 --> 00:57:01,680
and this is how this all starts with the

855
00:57:07,089 --> 00:57:04,440
ability to get larger heavier payloads

856
00:57:09,829 --> 00:57:07,099
off planet and beyond Earth's gravity

857
00:57:12,650 --> 00:57:09,839
for this we design an entirely new

858
00:57:14,150 --> 00:57:12,660
rocket the space launch system SLS will

859
00:57:16,069 --> 00:57:14,160
be the most powerful rocket ever

860
00:57:18,290 --> 00:57:16,079
developed and with components in

861
00:57:20,630 --> 00:57:18,300
production and More in testing this

862
00:57:23,270 --> 00:57:20,640
system is capable of being the Catalyst

863
00:57:25,490 --> 00:57:23,280
for deep space missions we need a

864
00:57:28,370 --> 00:57:25,500
capsule that can support humans from

865
00:57:30,650 --> 00:57:28,380
launch through deep space and return

866
00:57:33,349 --> 00:57:30,660
safely back to Earth

867
00:57:35,030 --> 00:57:33,359
for this we've built Orion this is

868
00:57:37,549 --> 00:57:35,040
NASA's Next Generation human Space

869
00:57:39,410 --> 00:57:37,559
Capsule

870
00:57:41,210 --> 00:57:39,420
using data from lunar orbiters that

871
00:57:43,730 --> 00:57:41,220
continue to reveal the moon's hazards

872
00:57:46,010 --> 00:57:43,740
and resources we're currently developing

873
00:57:48,049 --> 00:57:46,020
an entirely new approach to landing and

874
00:57:49,910 --> 00:57:48,059
operating on the moon using our

875
00:57:52,069 --> 00:57:49,920
commercial Partners to deliver science

876
00:57:54,470 --> 00:57:52,079
instruments and Robotics to the surface

877
00:57:58,970 --> 00:57:54,480
we are Paving the way for human missions

878
00:58:01,609 --> 00:57:58,980
in 2024 our charge is to go quickly and

879
00:58:04,370 --> 00:58:01,619
stay to press our Collective efforts

880
00:58:06,650 --> 00:58:04,380
forward with a fervor that will see us

881
00:58:09,650 --> 00:58:06,660
return to the Moon in a manner that is

882
00:58:11,569 --> 00:58:09,660
wholly different than

883
00:58:14,150 --> 00:58:11,579
we want lunar Landers that are reusable

884
00:58:16,490 --> 00:58:14,160
that can land anywhere on the lunar

885
00:58:18,710 --> 00:58:16,500
surface the simplest way to do so is to

886
00:58:20,690 --> 00:58:18,720
give them a platform in orbit around the

887
00:58:22,609 --> 00:58:20,700
Moon from which to transition an

888
00:58:25,010 --> 00:58:22,619
orbiting platform to host deep space

889
00:58:27,170 --> 00:58:25,020
experiments and be a waypoint for human

890
00:58:29,809 --> 00:58:27,180
capsules we call this lunar Outpost

891
00:58:32,329 --> 00:58:29,819
Gateway the beauty of the Gateway is

892
00:58:33,589 --> 00:58:32,339
that it can be moved between orbits it

893
00:58:35,630 --> 00:58:33,599
will balance between the Earth and

894
00:58:37,789 --> 00:58:35,640
moon's gravity in a position that is

895
00:58:39,770 --> 00:58:37,799
ideal for launching even deeper space

896
00:58:42,109 --> 00:58:39,780
missions

897
00:58:44,510 --> 00:58:42,119
2009 we learned that the moon contains

898
00:58:46,609 --> 00:58:44,520
millions of tons of Water Ice

899
00:58:48,410 --> 00:58:46,619
this ice can be extracted and purified

900
00:58:50,089 --> 00:58:48,420
for water it can be separate an oxygen

901
00:58:52,190 --> 00:58:50,099
for breathing or hydrogen from Rocket

902
00:58:53,180 --> 00:58:52,200
Fuel the Moon is quite uniquely suited

903
00:58:57,950 --> 00:58:53,190
to prepare us

904
00:59:02,089 --> 00:59:00,049
this is what we're building

905
00:59:03,770 --> 00:59:02,099
this is what we're training for this we

906
00:59:05,870 --> 00:59:03,780
can replicate throughout the solar

907
00:59:07,809 --> 00:59:05,880
system this is the next chapter of human

908
00:59:10,309 --> 00:59:07,819
space exploration

909
00:59:13,309 --> 00:59:10,319
humans are the most fragile element of

910
00:59:15,710 --> 00:59:13,319
this entire Endeavor and yet we go for

911
00:59:18,289 --> 00:59:15,720
Humanity we go to the moon and on to

912
00:59:21,289 --> 00:59:18,299
Mars to seek knowledge and understanding

913
00:59:23,510 --> 00:59:21,299
and to share it with all we go knowing

914
00:59:26,210 --> 00:59:23,520
our efforts will create opportunities

915
00:59:28,309 --> 00:59:26,220
that cannot be foreseen we go because we

916
00:59:30,950 --> 00:59:28,319
are destined to explore and seed with

917
00:59:33,770 --> 00:59:30,960
our own eyes we turn towards the moon

918
00:59:37,010 --> 00:59:33,780
now not as a conclusion but as

919
00:59:39,470 --> 00:59:37,020
preparation as a checkpoint toward all

920
00:59:43,849 --> 00:59:39,480
that lies beyond our greatest Adventures

921
00:59:47,630 --> 00:59:43,859
remain ahead of us we are going we're

922
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:53,280

[Music]

924
01:00:07,309 --> 01:00:03,670
