1
00:00:02,540 --> 00:00:04,897
[Speaker 1] We have a very
diverse, very

2
00:00:04,897 --> 00:00:07,080
[Speaker 1] qualified astronaut
corps.

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,654
[Speaker 1] Um, and it just so
happens that Apollo

4
00:00:10,654 --> 00:00:11,039
[Speaker 1] had a

5
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:13,833
[Speaker 1] twin sister, and
Apollo's twin sister

6
00:00:13,833 --> 00:00:15,200
[Speaker 1] was named Artemis.

7
00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:18,088
[Speaker 1] And Artemis happens
to be the goddess of

8
00:00:18,088 --> 00:00:18,640
[Speaker 1] the Moon.

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,794
[Speaker 1] So 50 years after
Apollo, we have a new

10
00:00:26,794 --> 00:00:27,280
[Speaker 1] program

11
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:29,500
[Speaker 1] named after Apollo's
twin sister.

12
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,245
[Speaker 1] And in this new
program, a

13
00:00:31,245 --> 00:00:32,479
[Speaker 1] sustainable return to
the

14
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,390
[Speaker 1] Moon, for the first
time in human

15
00:00:34,390 --> 00:00:35,560
[Speaker 1] history, we're gonna

16
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,860
[Speaker 1] have the opportunity
to send not just men

17
00:00:37,860 --> 00:00:38,200
[Speaker 1] to the

18
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,640
[Speaker 1] Moon, but also women
to the Moon.

19
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,610
[Speaker 1] We are living out the
legacy of Apollo, but

20
00:00:47,610 --> 00:00:47,800
[Speaker 1] the

21
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,560
[Speaker 1] Artemis program is
very different,

22
00:00:50,020 --> 00:00:51,880
[Speaker 1] and it's a program
whose time has come.

23
00:00:57,180 --> 00:00:59,020
[Speaker 1] We're looking at
reusing

24
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:01,085
[Speaker 1] as much of the
architecture as

25
00:01:01,085 --> 00:01:01,640
[Speaker 1] possible.

26
00:01:02,140 --> 00:01:03,560
[Speaker 1] That's why we're
building the Gateway.

27
00:01:03,980 --> 00:01:05,837
[Speaker 1] It's a reusable
command and service

28
00:01:05,837 --> 00:01:06,220
[Speaker 1] module.

29
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,446
[Speaker 1] And what we'd like to
have is reusable

30
00:01:08,446 --> 00:01:09,020
[Speaker 1] landers that

31
00:01:09,060 --> 00:01:10,620
[Speaker 1] go back and forth
from the Gateway

32
00:01:10,660 --> 00:01:11,760
[Speaker 1] to the surface of the
Moon.

33
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,136
[Speaker 1] So what we're doing
is we're going to

34
00:01:19,136 --> 00:01:19,640
[Speaker 1] Mars, and

35
00:01:19,660 --> 00:01:21,480
[Speaker 1] the Moon is the way
to get to Mars.

36
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:23,400
[Speaker 1] So there's a number
of advantages

37
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,060
[Speaker 1] to using the Moon to
get to Mars.

38
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,583
[Speaker 1] Chief among the
advantages is that we

39
00:01:27,583 --> 00:01:28,300
[Speaker 1] can learn how

40
00:01:28,340 --> 00:01:30,499
[Speaker 1] to live and work on
another world, a

41
00:01:30,499 --> 00:01:31,240
[Speaker 1] world that's

42
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,967
[Speaker 1] not our own,
utilizing the

43
00:01:32,967 --> 00:01:34,520
[Speaker 1] resources of that
world.

44
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:41,519
[Speaker 1] There are
opportunities to have

45
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:43,400
[Speaker 1] almost permanent
sunlight on the

46
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,276
[Speaker 1] south pole the Moon,
which means that

47
00:01:45,276 --> 00:01:45,940
[Speaker 1] that's power.

48
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:47,160
[Speaker 1] It's electricity.

49
00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:49,935
[Speaker 1] Also on the south
pole of the Moon is

50
00:01:49,935 --> 00:01:50,240
[Speaker 1] where

51
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,580
[Speaker 1] water ice resides in
mass volumes.

52
00:01:57,900 --> 00:01:59,820
[Speaker 1] Water ice, of course,
is life support.

53
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,360
[Speaker 1] It's water to drink,
it's air to breathe,

54
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:03,980
[Speaker 1] but it's also rocket
fuel.

55
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:06,251
[Speaker 1] Hydrogen and oxygen
is the same rocket

56
00:02:06,251 --> 00:02:07,240
[Speaker 1] fuel that powered

57
00:02:07,260 --> 00:02:09,020
[Speaker 1] the space shuttles,
same rocket

58
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,660
[Speaker 1] fuel that powered the
Saturn rockets.

59
00:02:11,060 --> 00:02:13,110
[Speaker 1] It's the same rocket
fuel that will power,

60
00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:13,460
[Speaker 1] uh, the

61
00:02:13,540 --> 00:02:16,045
[Speaker 1] Space Launch System,
which is gonna be the

62
00:02:16,045 --> 00:02:16,840
[Speaker 1] largest, most

63
00:02:16,940 --> 00:02:19,020
[Speaker 1] powerful rocket ever
launched, and it's

64
00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:20,060
[Speaker 1] gonna be the rocket

65
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,539
[Speaker 1] that takes our
astronauts back to

66
00:02:21,539 --> 00:02:22,360
[Speaker 1] the Moon, in fact,

67
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,680
[Speaker 1] the south pole of the
Moon.

68
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:30,720
[Speaker 1] So the Moon is the
proving ground.

69
00:02:31,020 --> 00:02:33,329
[Speaker 1] It's not just about
how to get there, but

70
00:02:33,329 --> 00:02:33,560
[Speaker 1] once

71
00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:35,646
[Speaker 1] you're there, how do
you live and work

72
00:02:35,646 --> 00:02:36,139
[Speaker 1] using the

73
00:02:36,180 --> 00:02:38,060
[Speaker 1] resources of another
world?

74
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,174
[Speaker 1] And then of course,
taking all of that

75
00:02:40,174 --> 00:02:40,800
[Speaker 1] technology and

76
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:42,840
[Speaker 1] all of that
capability to Mars.

77
00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:43,639
[Speaker 1] That's the goal.

78
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,340
[Speaker 2] This is not NASA
doing this.

79
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,058
[Speaker 2] This is the United
States of America

80
00:03:04,058 --> 00:03:04,780
[Speaker 2] doing this, this

81
00:03:04,820 --> 00:03:06,863
[Speaker 2] program, the Artemis
program, and there

82
00:03:06,863 --> 00:03:08,100
[Speaker 2] are companies all
across

83
00:03:08,139 --> 00:03:09,942
[Speaker 2] our country that have
a part in it, and

84
00:03:09,942 --> 00:03:10,180
[Speaker 2] there

85
00:03:10,220 --> 00:03:11,688
[Speaker 2] is excitement in
every one of those

86
00:03:11,688 --> 00:03:12,120
[Speaker 2] companies.

87
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,180
[Speaker 2] And these aren't, uh,
you know, these are,

88
00:03:14,620 --> 00:03:15,840
[Speaker 2] are kids just out of
college.

89
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,220
[Speaker 2] These are senior
managers.

90
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,880
[Speaker 2] Everybody is excited
about this.

91
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,160
[Speaker 2] Everybody is talking
about this.

92
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,756
[Speaker 2] So there is kind of
this wave of

93
00:03:21,756 --> 00:03:22,560
[Speaker 2] excitement being

94
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,094
[Speaker 2] generated just by
saying we're going

95
00:03:24,094 --> 00:03:24,820
[Speaker 2] back to the Moon.

96
00:03:30,260 --> 00:03:31,934
[Speaker 2] It's gonna benefit
humanity in almost

97
00:03:31,934 --> 00:03:32,400
[Speaker 2] every way.

98
00:03:32,540 --> 00:03:35,370
[Speaker 2] It'll be the small
nuances from improved

99
00:03:35,370 --> 00:03:37,040
[Speaker 2] radars, improved
systems

100
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,575
[Speaker 2] that are gonna be
used on, uh,

101
00:03:38,575 --> 00:03:39,400
[Speaker 2] autonomous cars.

102
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,320
[Speaker 2] Those are the things
we need

103
00:03:40,340 --> 00:03:41,300
[Speaker 2] to land on the Moon.

104
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,621
[Speaker 2] So I, say humanity
right now is in a

105
00:03:43,621 --> 00:03:44,320
[Speaker 2] transition.

106
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,300
[Speaker 2] Cars are starting to
drive themselves.

107
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,634
[Speaker 2] Airplanes are
starting to fly

108
00:03:47,634 --> 00:03:48,120
[Speaker 2] themselves.

109
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,307
[Speaker 2] So now think this
Artemis program will

110
00:03:50,307 --> 00:03:50,900
[Speaker 2] take us that

111
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,860
[Speaker 2] next step in proving
out these systems.

112
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,051
[Speaker 2] Our long-term desire
is to be sustained on

113
00:04:00,051 --> 00:04:00,440
[Speaker 2] the Moon,

114
00:04:00,780 --> 00:04:02,624
[Speaker 2] learn how to operate
on a, on a different

115
00:04:02,624 --> 00:04:03,040
[Speaker 2] celestial

116
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,860
[Speaker 2] body, and then head
on to Mars and do the

117
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:05,940
[Speaker 2] research there that
we wanna do.

118
00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:13,363
[Speaker 2] Uh, Apollo, for sure,
when you look back at

119
00:04:13,363 --> 00:04:13,560
[Speaker 2] that

120
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,641
[Speaker 2] program, the amount
that we spent, uh,

121
00:04:15,641 --> 00:04:16,579
[Speaker 2] has been returned

122
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:18,160
[Speaker 2] many, many times
over.

123
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,719
[Speaker 2] And so when you're
investing in people,

124
00:04:19,719 --> 00:04:20,440
[Speaker 2] which we're doing,

125
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,757
[Speaker 2] and when you're
investing in

126
00:04:21,757 --> 00:04:23,220
[Speaker 2] technology, which
we're doing, you

127
00:04:23,460 --> 00:04:24,234
[Speaker 2] definitely are
building

128
00:04:24,234 --> 00:04:25,501
[Speaker 2] infrastructure in our
country, you're

129
00:04:25,501 --> 00:04:26,100
[Speaker 2] solving problems,

130
00:04:26,180 --> 00:04:27,640
[Speaker 2] and the other thing
you're doing is

131
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,500
[Speaker 2] you're motivating an

132
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,300
[Speaker 2] entire generation of
Americans.

133
00:04:35,620 --> 00:04:36,996
[Speaker 2] I was not alive
during the Apollo

134
00:04:36,996 --> 00:04:37,339
[Speaker 2] program.

135
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,287
[Speaker 2] That program
motivated my entire

136
00:04:39,287 --> 00:04:39,540
[Speaker 2] life.

137
00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:41,161
[Speaker 2] There are millions of
people in our country

138
00:04:41,161 --> 00:04:41,440
[Speaker 2] that are

139
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:43,100
[Speaker 2] like that, and when
you go out and do

140
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:43,500
[Speaker 2] something

141
00:04:43,540 --> 00:04:45,854
[Speaker 2] big and bold and, uh,
and solve new

142
00:04:45,854 --> 00:04:47,080
[Speaker 2] challenges, you're

143
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,371
[Speaker 2] definitely gonna
moto- motivate the

144
00:04:48,371 --> 00:04:48,960
[Speaker 2] next generation.

145
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,038
[Speaker 3] So we're gonna
establish going back

146
00:05:07,038 --> 00:05:07,800
[Speaker 3] there on a regular

147
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:09,918
[Speaker 3] basis, and then we'll
end up sending,

148
00:05:09,918 --> 00:05:10,760
[Speaker 3] setting up, um,

149
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,520
[Speaker 3] sort of a platform
called Gateway.

150
00:05:13,060 --> 00:05:15,053
[Speaker 3] And we would launch
to the Gateway and

151
00:05:15,053 --> 00:05:15,700
[Speaker 3] from Gateway

152
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,440
[Speaker 3] land on the surface
of the Moon.

153
00:05:33,660 --> 00:05:35,140
[Speaker 4] History is replete
with

154
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,495
[Speaker 4] a spark of innovation
in one area of

155
00:05:39,495 --> 00:05:40,980
[Speaker 4] science sometimes

156
00:05:41,020 --> 00:05:42,540
[Speaker 4] becomes
revolutionary,

157
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,174
[Speaker 4] not only in that
field of science but

158
00:05:45,174 --> 00:05:45,560
[Speaker 4] maybe in

159
00:05:45,620 --> 00:05:47,072
[Speaker 4] a completely
different field of

160
00:05:47,072 --> 00:05:47,460
[Speaker 4] science.

161
00:05:52,620 --> 00:05:55,444
[Speaker 4] And it takes this
spark of creativity,

162
00:05:55,444 --> 00:05:57,200
[Speaker 4] people facing
challenges

163
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,080
[Speaker 4] like, "We don't know
how to do that,

164
00:05:59,220 --> 00:06:00,460
[Speaker 4] so let's figure it
out."

165
00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:02,989
[Speaker 4] And in the process of
doing that, we

166
00:06:02,989 --> 00:06:03,720
[Speaker 4] stretch, uh,

167
00:06:03,820 --> 00:06:05,486
[Speaker 4] the boundaries of
