1 00:00:15,515 --> 00:00:18,184 The significance of the Artemis I mission 2 00:00:18,485 --> 00:00:23,356 is that it's actually signaling a whole new era of space exploration. 3 00:00:24,090 --> 00:00:26,459 Apollo was very much about learning 4 00:00:26,626 --> 00:00:29,095 how to send humans out into space. 5 00:00:29,696 --> 00:00:33,700 We built on that legacy with the Space Shuttle, which helped us understand 6 00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:38,538 how to do science and to stay in orbit for periods at a time. 7 00:00:39,072 --> 00:00:43,009 The International Space Station has taught us how to live 24/7, 8 00:00:43,009 --> 00:00:47,680 365 days a year and do science in space. 9 00:00:48,248 --> 00:00:52,252 But Artemis is going to take us out to the next step. 10 00:00:52,652 --> 00:00:54,988 The exploration of the solar system. 11 00:00:55,255 --> 00:01:00,660 Of all that we have learned about human spaceflight, science and exploration 12 00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:05,765 and it begins with Artemis 1. 13 00:01:12,572 --> 00:01:15,075 With the Artemis program, 14 00:01:15,575 --> 00:01:18,945 we are beginning to build a blueprint 15 00:01:19,412 --> 00:01:23,917 for how we will do human and scientific exploration 16 00:01:24,217 --> 00:01:27,754 out into the solar system in a sustainable way. 17 00:01:29,155 --> 00:01:29,923 Artemis will 18 00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:33,827 help us to define what are the objectives. 19 00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:36,329 What are the things that we have to demonstrate? 20 00:01:36,629 --> 00:01:39,299 What do we have to learn and understand 21 00:01:39,632 --> 00:01:42,535 before we go the next step to Mars? 22 00:01:42,936 --> 00:01:47,440 We get to practice on the moon, which is just a couple of days away 23 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,645 from earth, a place that we can practice learn and prepare ourselves 24 00:01:52,979 --> 00:01:56,149 for future exploration to Mars and beyond. 25 00:02:05,191 --> 00:02:07,861 Our industry and international partnerships 26 00:02:07,861 --> 00:02:12,732 are absolutely critical to the Artemis campaign, especially in Artemis I. 27 00:02:13,233 --> 00:02:16,503 We have been working for many years with our industry 28 00:02:16,503 --> 00:02:18,738 partners all over the country 29 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,209 to develop the capabilities that we will be demonstrating in. 30 00:02:23,209 --> 00:02:24,878 Artemis I. 31 00:02:25,011 --> 00:02:29,182 In addition to that, our international partners are playing a critical role. 32 00:02:29,616 --> 00:02:33,486 Space is fundamentally a global enterprise 33 00:02:34,154 --> 00:02:37,023 We've done wonderful things with the International Space Station 34 00:02:37,257 --> 00:02:40,527 and we're extending that on not just to the same partners 35 00:02:40,527 --> 00:02:43,229 we've had for a long time, but new partners as well. 36 00:02:43,663 --> 00:02:47,901 But of course, our trusted partner, such as the European Space Agency. 37 00:02:48,134 --> 00:02:49,435 Absolutely critical, 38 00:02:49,435 --> 00:02:52,071 providing the service module for Orion. 39 00:02:52,672 --> 00:02:54,240 Absolutely essential. 40 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,810 And in addition to that, our architecture includes partnerships 41 00:02:57,810 --> 00:03:00,513 with Canada, Japan and others. 42 00:03:01,381 --> 00:03:03,483 This is incredibly important. 43 00:03:03,816 --> 00:03:07,687 We have to define how we are going out into the solar system 44 00:03:08,054 --> 00:03:11,257 and starting with those partnerships 45 00:03:11,691 --> 00:03:15,295 will ensure that we are on a on a track that is sustainable, 46 00:03:15,528 --> 00:03:19,232 not just for human life, but for all that 47 00:03:19,232 --> 00:03:22,635 we plan to do in the future, to do it in the right way. 48 00:03:29,943 --> 00:03:32,011 I am so excited about this mission. 49 00:03:32,412 --> 00:03:36,216 First, it's opening the door for the first woman 50 00:03:36,216 --> 00:03:39,385 and the first person of color to set foot on the moon. 51 00:03:40,553 --> 00:03:43,423 That's incredibly exciting and powerful to me. 52 00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:49,596 It's also setting up a steady cadence for us to go out and do 53 00:03:49,596 --> 00:03:54,901 exploration and science, and I'm excited to see what we're going to learn. 54 00:03:55,501 --> 00:03:57,870 But most of all, I'm excited because 55 00:03:59,339 --> 00:04:01,741 this mission shows that we are ready 56 00:04:01,774 --> 00:04:04,510 to explore the rest of the solar system. 57 00:04:04,744 --> 00:04:06,512 And that's most exciting of all.
