1
00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:02,160
Even in the midst of a pandemic,

2
00:00:02,260 --> 00:00:05,060
it is important to note that the United States of America 

3
00:00:05,180 --> 00:00:07,680
can still do stunning achievements.

4
00:00:07,780 --> 00:00:09,840
We saw that recently when we launched 

5
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,400
Perseverance to Mars.

6
00:00:11,460 --> 00:00:13,400
We saw it when we launched Bob and Doug

7
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,080
on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, 

8
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,440
in a crew capsule called Dragon,

9
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,440
to the International Space Station,

10
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,440
and then we brought them home safely.

11
00:00:22,540 --> 00:00:24,860
We can do these things and we can do them safely 

12
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,860
even in challenging times.

13
00:00:26,940 --> 00:00:29,280
And now, we’re building the most powerful rocket

14
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,280
in the history of humanity, 

15
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,060
that will take not just the next man 

16
00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:36,240
but the first woman to the Moon by 2024 

17
00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:38,240
in the Artemis Program.

18
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:40,980
This program is commercial in nature,

19
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,980
but it is also international in nature, 

20
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:44,460
nd we are very grateful

21
00:00:44,540 --> 00:00:47,160
for our partners that are building

22
00:00:47,300 --> 00:00:50,820
the FSB boosters so that we can ultimately 

23
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:52,820
achieve the objectives of our nation 

24
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,820
and, in fact, lead the world.
