the moon in this decade and do

00:00:03,337 --> 00:00:07,374
the other things. Not because
they are easy but because they

3
00:00:07,374 --> 00:00:11,245
are hard! >>ARMSTRONG: That's
one small step for man...

greatest achievements.

>>ARMSTRONG: One giant leap for
mankind. >>NARRATOR: And one of

00:00:20,254 --> 00:00:23,390
humanity's greatest scientific
tools. >>LECKRONE: The world's

8
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:31,865
>>WISEMAN: Hubble is profoundly
significant, I think, for

9
00:00:31,865 --> 00:00:34,568
humanity. >>NARRATOR: You might
be surprised to learn that the

10
00:00:34,568 --> 00:00:38,138
Hubble Space Telescope and
landing on the moon in 2024 have

11
00:00:38,138 --> 00:00:41,975
a lot to do with each other. In
fact, when you think of Hubble,

12
00:00:41,975 --> 00:00:45,712
usually those gorgeous pictures
first come to mind. But after

13
00:00:45,712 --> 00:00:49,783
Jim Garvin’s 2005 research using
Hubble, what have we learned

14
00:00:49,783 --> 00:00:53,086
about prospecting the moon for
locations to establish a human

15
00:00:53,086 --> 00:00:56,356
presence for the 2024 Artemis
mission? >>GARVIN: Hubble's one

16
00:00:56,356 --> 00:01:00,260
little piece of that masterpiece
we've been working on for 50

17
00:01:00,260 --> 00:01:04,731
years, so that people can use
the Moon as a special place, as

18
00:01:04,731 --> 00:01:07,768
Mother Nature's great control
experiment next door. 

19

>> "Hubble and Going Forward to
the Moon" 

20
00:01:14,007 --> 00:01:16,877
>>SAGAN: Space Telescope is,
in a way, a little like

21
00:01:16,877 --> 00:01:19,780
Galileo's first telescope. 
Whereever

22
00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:24,051
Galileo pointed his telescope he
made major new discoveries. Look

23
00:01:24,051 --> 00:01:27,154
at the Moon, you find mountains
and craters, look at Saturn, you

24
00:01:27,154 --> 00:01:31,024
find rings, look at the Milky
Way and you find it is littered

25
00:01:31,024 --> 00:01:35,762
and composed of stars. Every one
of these discoveries are things

26
00:01:35,762 --> 00:01:38,699
that people had not known
before. I think it's going to be

27
00:01:38,699 --> 00:01:43,103
very similar with the Space
Telescope. >>NARRATOR: 340 miles

28
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:45,439
above the Earth’s surface,
Hubble orbits over the

29
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:48,375
distorting effects of the
atmosphere, enabling us to look

30
00:01:48,375 --> 00:01:52,179
deeper into space than any
ground based telescope. Hubble

31
00:01:52,179 --> 00:01:56,049
was specially designed to be
upgraded while in space. Through

32
00:01:56,049 --> 00:01:59,920
five servicing missions over the
years, astronauts have repaired,

33
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,724
restored, and updated Hubble to
make it better than ever. The

34
00:02:03,724 --> 00:02:06,593
Hubble Space telescope has
taught us a lot about our place

35
00:02:06,593 --> 00:02:10,931
in the universe, but back in
2005, then NASA chief scientist

36
00:02:10,931 --> 00:02:14,401
Jim Garvin decided to focus
Hubble’s powerful instruments on

37
00:02:14,401 --> 00:02:16,937
something a little closer to
home. >>GARVIN: What if we used

38
00:02:16,937 --> 00:02:21,008
Hubble to do what it's best at?
Be a precision photometer in

39
00:02:21,008 --> 00:02:24,344
wavelengths where it's very
convenient, the Lunar soils

40
00:02:24,344 --> 00:02:27,214
light up like firecrackers if
they're rich in certain

41
00:02:27,214 --> 00:02:30,984
minerals. We know from Apollo
samples that some of the Lunar

42
00:02:30,984 --> 00:02:34,855
soils and rocks are literally
ore bodies. And so the idea of

43
00:02:34,855 --> 00:02:39,359
using Hubble with this exquisite
ultraviolet imaging capability

44
00:02:39,359 --> 00:02:42,362
with the ACS instrument at that
point, and then maybe later with

45
00:02:42,362 --> 00:02:46,433
others, to target the Moon came
alive. >>NARRATOR: Imagine,

46
00:02:46,433 --> 00:02:50,470
you’re 240,000 miles away from
Earth, yeah you’ll be getting

47
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:53,674
packages from home every once in
a while, but you’re going to

48
00:02:53,674 --> 00:02:57,210
need to be self sufficient too.
And that’s where Hubble comes

49
00:02:57,210 --> 00:02:59,379
in… >>GARVIN: We realized that
some of the Moon rocks might be

50
00:02:59,379 --> 00:03:02,282
resources, and if they found
them on Earth we'd be mining

51
00:03:02,282 --> 00:03:06,686
them. So using the eyes of
Hubble where it has exquisite

52
00:03:06,686 --> 00:03:11,258
precision and resolution in ways
that go beyond our eyes, beyond

53
00:03:11,258 --> 00:03:14,027
normal spacecraft we fly to
orbit planets, was an

54
00:03:14,027 --> 00:03:18,632
opportunity to use an
astronomical asset, a historical

55
00:03:18,632 --> 00:03:21,835
one, a cathedral to the stars to
observe the Moon in a way where

56
00:03:21,835 --> 00:03:25,906
we could test, prospect for
these resources in three places.

57
00:03:25,906 --> 00:03:29,676
And we were spectacular beyond
success with the capability of

58
00:03:29,676 --> 00:03:33,680
Hubble to see things we couldn't
see, at finer scales. Hubble

59
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,118
became a resource prospector to
light the way for following

60
00:03:38,118 --> 00:03:41,521
missions, Lunar Reconnaissance
Orbiter, to fill in the gaps, to

61
00:03:41,521 --> 00:03:44,124
paint the picture of the Moon
that we're going to go back to.

62
00:03:44,124 --> 00:03:47,994
We were attempting to be
catalysts, pathfinders, for how

63
00:03:47,994 --> 00:03:52,632
we might use the Moon in ways
that are more creative than many

64
00:03:52,632 --> 00:03:55,669
had ever thought it could be
used. What if we could live off

65
00:03:55,669 --> 00:03:59,439
the Moon's resources in ways
that enable us not to have to

66
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:02,342
bring everything with us? We'll
use the Moon as the springboard

67
00:04:02,342 --> 00:04:06,646
in confidence to go onto Mars.
>>NARRATOR: But establishing

68
00:04:06,646 --> 00:04:10,283
ourselves on the Moon is just
the first part of NASA's goal.

69
00:04:10,283 --> 00:04:13,820
There are some bigger plans in
store for the future, and you

70
00:04:13,820 --> 00:04:16,790
can be sure that Hubble is a
part of that next journey as

71
00:04:16,790 --> 00:04:21,061
well. >>COLON: I'm very excited
about the Artemis mission, but

72
00:04:21,061 --> 00:04:26,399
even beyond that the whole idea
is to go to Mars. So this whole

73
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:30,637
process is about making sure we
can get back to the Moon safely,

74
00:04:30,637 --> 00:04:35,008
and extending that to be able to
journey to other planets, like

75
00:04:35,008 --> 00:04:39,613
Mars, in the future. And Hubble
gets to study these objects in

76
00:04:39,613 --> 00:04:44,084
the solar system, including
Mars, it studies weather on Mars

77
00:04:44,084 --> 00:04:48,555
regularly and being able to
monitor at great levels of

78
00:04:48,555 --> 00:04:52,058
detail these storms helps us
better understand the surface of

79
00:04:52,058 --> 00:04:56,830
Mars and where it's safe to land
for example, for humans to

80
00:04:56,830 --> 00:05:01,501
visit. So Hubble's really been
able to help be a part of this

81
00:05:01,501 --> 00:05:05,105
journey as humans get to go from
the Moon to Mars in that sense.

82
00:05:05,105 --> 00:05:10,544
>>CEPI: It's about newness, it's
about challenge, it's about

83
00:05:10,544 --> 00:05:14,381
going out there in the forefront
of technology and breaking

84
00:05:14,381 --> 00:05:19,119
through. And Hubble represents
that to the greatest degree I

85
00:05:19,119 --> 00:05:23,056
can think of. Because it allows
us to do it in a big way and in

86
00:05:23,056 --> 00:05:26,726
a small way. It allows us to do
it in detectors, it allows us to

87
00:05:26,726 --> 00:05:31,298
do it in computer technology,
and optical fabrication, and

88
00:05:31,298 --> 00:05:35,936
optical polishing. But it also
gives us this big picture, it

89
00:05:35,936 --> 00:05:40,941
gives us this great challenge of
making things better. >>WISEMAN:

90
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,618
People everywhere look up at the
same sky and say 'we're all part

91
00:05:51,618 --> 00:05:54,788
of something together, we're all
citizens of planet Earth, and

92
00:05:54,788 --> 00:05:57,524
we're all part of this
magnificent Universe.' And

93
00:05:57,524 --> 00:06:01,761
having some kind of constructive
presence around the Moon, I

94
00:06:01,761 --> 00:06:04,998
think it will be very exciting
for people around the globe. So

95
00:06:04,998 --> 00:06:08,001
we are excited about that, and
we're excited about the way

96
00:06:08,001 --> 00:06:10,704
science missions, and
satellites, and probes, and

97
00:06:10,704 --> 00:06:14,941
telescopes can compliment human
spaceflight to give us a full

98
00:06:14,941 --> 00:06:18,578
suite of information, whether
it's trying to understand how

99
00:06:18,578 --> 00:06:21,848
humans can survive off planet
Earth, or whether it's just

100
00:06:21,848 --> 00:06:26,553
basic curiosity about how did
the Earth and the Moon form, and

101
00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:31,324
how does that compare to planets
outside our solar system? All of

102
00:06:31,324 --> 00:06:35,562
these information gathering
missions are very helpful to our

103
00:06:35,562 --> 00:06:38,965
understanding of who we are as
human beings, and to our quest

104
00:06:38,965 --> 00:06:42,802
for exploring space. >>GARVIN:
One object that's in our destiny

105
00:06:42,802 --> 00:06:46,673
is the Moon. We've been there,
six times, 50 years ahead of our

106
00:06:46,673 --> 00:06:50,477
time with project Apollo. We're
ready to go back, women and men,

107
00:06:50,477 --> 00:06:55,782
for the long haul. And that
prime directive will put people

108
00:06:55,782 --> 00:06:59,786
on the Moon again in the year
2024. Hubble has been one of

109
00:06:59,786 --> 00:07:02,922
those pieces of the mosaic of
information to help us

110
00:07:02,922 --> 00:07:07,294
understand what the Moon offers,
what we could use the Moon for

111
00:07:07,294 --> 00:07:11,164
as we're there. So now we could
see our Universe, our solar

112
00:07:11,164 --> 00:07:14,034
system in a new light, and now
we're ready to capitalize on

113
00:07:14,034 --> 00:07:17,771
that. And that's what Artemis,
what Hubble, what the future of

114
00:07:17,771 --> 00:07:20,807
space exploration is about.
Let's capitalize on what we've

115
00:07:20,807 --> 00:07:23,476
learned. We're out of the dark
ages, we're coming into the new

116
00:07:23,476 --> 00:07:26,980
light, let's go!
