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.
