1
00:00:16,850 --> 00:00:19,561
Humans have an innate desire to explore.

2
00:00:19,561 --> 00:00:22,063
It's been part of our survival
for thousands of years.

3
00:00:22,063 --> 00:00:25,275
And We need to be curious
about what's over the horizon.

4
00:00:25,650 --> 00:00:27,736
the Moon is definitely over the horizon.

5
00:00:27,736 --> 00:00:30,739
Mars is well beyond the horizon.

6
00:00:33,992 --> 00:00:34,617
HAATS,

7
00:00:34,617 --> 00:00:38,580
which is essentially in-flight,
lunar simulation.

8
00:00:39,289 --> 00:00:42,542
It's an analog
to flying on the on the moon,

9
00:00:50,884 --> 00:00:51,426
At HAATS,

10
00:00:51,426 --> 00:00:55,805
we are practicing, with helicopters, to 
land in extreme environments

11
00:00:56,014 --> 00:01:00,101
The extreme environment we have access
to is mountains in Colorado.

12
00:01:00,143 --> 00:01:05,648
There's thinner air, jagged terrain, lots
varing wind conditions

13
00:01:05,648 --> 00:01:10,236
These are ways to help us get
ready to land people on the Moon

14
00:01:10,236 --> 00:01:13,239
as part of the Artemis program.

15
00:01:23,041 --> 00:01:24,000
(radio chatter)  All right. Yep.

16
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:24,834
Take it up to power tower.
Climb a little bit

17
00:01:24,834 --> 00:01:28,379
The vehicle we fly, the, UH-72 Lakota

18
00:01:28,379 --> 00:01:31,633
also has a rigid rotor system.

19
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:35,178
it's control response is very quick,
almost like a thruster firing.

20
00:01:35,428 --> 00:01:38,431
And then we we're flying
with very thin margins

21
00:01:38,431 --> 00:01:42,143
in the way of power
and energy and momentum.

22
00:01:43,269 --> 00:01:45,396
(radio chatter)300. Now that's more power 

23
00:01:45,396 --> 00:01:48,399
Got all the. Power right there.
Thank you.

24
00:01:48,483 --> 00:01:49,609
Nine forward 200.

25
00:01:49,609 --> 00:01:54,823
Now 70% 12ft 10, 9, 8, 7.

26
00:02:09,796 --> 00:02:12,090
Artemis is about going back to the moon.

27
00:02:12,090 --> 00:02:14,759
Not just to touch it, but to stay.

28
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:16,845
So Artemis,
for us, is building architecture

29
00:02:16,845 --> 00:02:19,556
as an international community,
to go to the surface of the moon,

30
00:02:19,556 --> 00:02:22,767
to build the foundations
for us as a civilization, to go to Mars.
