WEBVTT - language=en 00:00:11.539 --> 00:00:12.940 This is not NASA doing this. 00:00:13.100 --> 00:00:15.380 This is the United States of America doing this, this 00:00:15.420 --> 00:00:18.700 program, the Artemis program, and there are companies all across 00:00:18.739 --> 00:00:20.780 our country that have a part in it, and there 00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:22.720 is excitement in every one of those companies. 00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:25.600 And these aren't, uh, you know, these are, are kids 00:00:25.660 --> 00:00:27.820 just out of college, these are senior managers. 00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:29.480 Everybody is excited about this. 00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:30.760 Everybody is talking about this. 00:00:30.820 --> 00:00:33.159 So there is kind of this wave of excitement being 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.420 generated just by saying, "We're going back to the Moon." 00:00:40.860 --> 00:00:43.000 It's gonna benefit humanity in almost every way. 00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:47.640 It'll be the small nuances from improved radars, improved systems 00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:50.000 that are gonna be used on, uh, autonomous cars. 00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:50.920 Those are the things we need 00:00:50.940 --> 00:00:51.900 to land on the Moon. 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.520 So I, I say humanity right 00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:54.920 now is in a transition. 00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:56.920 Cars are starting to drive themselves. 00:00:57.020 --> 00:00:58.720 Airplanes are starting to fly themselves. 00:00:59.080 --> 00:01:01.320 So now I think this Artemis program will take us 00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:03.460 that next step in proving out these systems. 00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:11.040 Our long-term desire is to be sustained on the Moon, 00:01:11.380 --> 00:01:13.680 learn how to operate on a, on a different celestial 00:01:13.720 --> 00:01:15.459 body, and then head on to Mars and do the 00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:16.580 research there that we wanna do. 00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:24.160 Uh, Apollo, for sure, when you look back at that 00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.180 program, the amount that we spent, uh, has been returned 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:28.760 many, many times over. 00:01:28.819 --> 00:01:31.040 And so when you're investing in people, which we're doing, 00:01:31.160 --> 00:01:33.819 and when you're investing in technology, which we're doing, you 00:01:34.060 --> 00:01:36.700 definitely are building infrastructure in our country, you're solving problems, 00:01:36.780 --> 00:01:39.100 and the other thing you're doing is you're motivating an 00:01:39.160 --> 00:01:40.900 entire generation of Americans 00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:47.940 I was not alive during the Apollo program. 00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:50.140 That program motivated my entire life. 00:01:50.300 --> 00:01:52.040 There are millions of people in our country that are 00:01:52.100 --> 00:01:54.100 like that, and when you go out and do something 00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:57.680 big and bold and, uh, and solve new challenges, you're 00:01:57.720 --> 00:01:59.560 definitely gonna moto- motivate the next generation. 00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:18.400 So we're gonna establish going back there on a regular 00:02:18.500 --> 00:02:21.280 basis, and then we'll end up sending, setting up, um, 00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:24.520 sort of a platform called Gateway, and we would launch 00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:26.300 to the Gateway, and from Gateway 00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:28.040 land on the surface of the Moon. 00:02:44.260 --> 00:02:45.740 History is replete with 00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:51.520 a spark of innovation in one area of science sometimes 00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:53.139 becomes revolutionary, 00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:56.160 not only in that field of science, but maybe in 00:02:56.220 --> 00:02:58.060 a completely different field of science. 00:03:03.220 --> 00:03:07.720 And it takes this spark of creativity, people facing challenges 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:09.680 like, "We don't know how to do that, 00:03:09.820 --> 00:03:11.060 so let's figure it out." 00:03:11.460 --> 00:03:14.320 And in the process of doing that, we stretch, uh, 00:03:14.419 --> 00:03:17.580 the boundaries of what we know in technology, and by 00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:20.800 doing that, we create a better life here on Earth.
