00:00:07,576 --> 00:00:11,086
>> CASIS works under a
cooperative agreement with NASA

3
00:00:11,626 --> 00:00:14,026
to be the manager of
the National Lab -

4
00:00:14,026 --> 00:00:16,016
on the International
Space Station.

5
00:00:16,716 --> 00:00:19,656
So under that cooperation,
we have this division

6
00:00:19,656 --> 00:00:22,706
of responsibilities, is
that there's research done

7
00:00:22,776 --> 00:00:27,386
on the space station, which is
for exploration and preparation

8
00:00:27,386 --> 00:00:30,396
for the mission to Mars,
and that's allocated

9
00:00:30,396 --> 00:00:32,156
to the efforts done by NASA.

10
00:00:32,876 --> 00:00:36,696
Conversely, for research that's
focused on benefits to Earth,

11
00:00:36,806 --> 00:00:41,026
both scientific and
commercial, is managed by CASIS

12
00:00:41,176 --> 00:00:42,686
at the ISS National Lab.

13
00:00:43,636 --> 00:00:46,556
The Procter and Gamble
experiment is an ideal example,

14
00:00:46,556 --> 00:00:48,466
in my estimation,
of what we're trying

15
00:00:48,466 --> 00:00:52,976
to achieve doing important
research, even though Procter

16
00:00:52,976 --> 00:00:56,006
and Gamble is something that
makes commercial products,

17
00:00:56,066 --> 00:00:58,296
commodity products that
you and I and many people

18
00:00:58,296 --> 00:00:59,546
around the world use everyday.

19
00:01:00,096 --> 00:01:03,626
There's a lot of discovery in
science and engineering that has

20
00:01:03,626 --> 00:01:06,676
to be done to make those
products efficacious

21
00:01:06,676 --> 00:01:07,766
and long-lasting.

22
00:01:08,286 --> 00:01:11,546
So I think that what we can
do in microgravity for Procter

23
00:01:11,546 --> 00:01:14,726
and Gamble, if it moves the
gravity vector, so there's a lot

24
00:01:14,726 --> 00:01:16,586
of phenomena which
are otherwise masked

25
00:01:16,906 --> 00:01:19,646
in the gravity environment
here on earth can be revealed

26
00:01:19,646 --> 00:01:22,256
at higher fidelity and
bring greater understanding

27
00:01:22,316 --> 00:01:23,366
to make better products.
