>> NASA IS AS THE FRONT FRONT TO
EXPLORE THE MOON, MARS AND
BEYOND, ARTEMIS 1 IS JUST
BEGINNING RIGHT NOW THE ORION
SPACECRAFT SITTING ATOP ON
LAUNCHPAD 39B HERE AT KENNEDY
SPACE CENTER IN FLORIDA AS THEY
WAIT THE LAUNCH.
GOOD MORNING.
I AM FROM NASA'S OFFICE OF
COMMUNICATION.
MISSION WILE WOO NOT BE POSSIBLE
WITHOUT THE INDUSTRY PARTNERS
AND CONTRIBUTIONS FROM MORE THAN
3,000 SUPPLIERNESS ALL 50 STATES
AND 10 COUNTRIES UNEUROPE THE
FIRST OF THE SERIES IS
INCREASINGLY COMPLEX MISSION,
ARTEMIS 1 IS A FLYING TEST THAT
WILL PROVIDE FOUNDATION AND
DEMONSTRATE THE COMMITMENT TO
EXTEND HUMAN PRESS STONES THE
MOON AND BEYOND.
JOINING US HERE AT KENNEDY ARE
SEVERAL GUEST, WHO WILL TELL US
ABOUT HOW THEIR COMPANIES ARE
WORKING TO ADVANCE TO GO THOUGH
MOON AND BEYOND.
FROM NASA, ASSOCIATE

AFTER FEW OPENING COMMENTS FROM
ANTICIPATE OF THE SPEAKERS.
WE WILL TAKE QUESTIONS FROM THE
REPORTERS IN THE ROOM ANDS THE
ON THE PHONE.
YOU AND CAN ENTER STAR 1 TO BE
TERNED?
WE START WITH JIM FREEH.
>> THANK YOU, KATHRYN.
>> GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.
IT IS GREAT TO BE HERE WITH THE
CRITICAL PARTNERS THAT HAVE
WORKED HAND-IN-HAND WITH US TO
BE HERE TODAY TO HAVE THAT
VEHICLE ON THE PAD THAT YOU SEE
THERE AND REALLY BE IN A GREAT
PLACE TO HEAD TO LAUNCH.
THIS FIRST LAUNCH IS ANOTHER
STEP ON THE BLUEPRINT OF OUR
SUSTAINABLE EXPLORATION OF THE
SOLAR SYSTEM, AND WE ARE SO
PROUD TO BE THE LEADER WITH NASA
WITH OUR PARTNERS BOTH WITHIN
THE U.S. AND EXTERNALLY.
THAT LEADERSHIP, THAT
INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION,
COMES TO THE ARTEMIS ACCORDS,
AND AS SAW, IN THE VEHICLE
THERE, THE EUROPEAN SERVICE
MODULE AT THE TOP.
A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT
ARE WE DOING DIFFERENTLY.
THIS TIME, WE ARE GOING
SUSTAINABLY.
WE WANT TO STAY ON THE LUNAR
SERVICE AND LEARN ON THE LUNAR
SURFACE SO WE CAN GET THE MOST
SCIENCE ANOHOW WE ARE GOING TO
GO TO MARS.
AND KNOW HOW WE ARE GOING TO GO
TO MARS.
ATTACK ABOUT SCIENCE.
SCIENCE IS FIRST OF WHAT WE ARE
DOING.
WE DID INCREDIBLE SCIENCE AT THE
EQUATOR.
THIS TIME, WE ARE GOING SOUTH
POLE.
THERE IS MUCH TO LEARN AT THE
SOUTH POLE.
IT IS TRULY OUR VO CALL POINT.
THIS IS OUR EX PLAR RACIAL
SYSTEM.
HOPE THAT EVERYONE TAKES -- THIS
IS OUR EXPLORATION SYSTEM.
I HOPE EVERYONE TAKES PRIDE.
IT NOW IT IS WITHOUT DIFFICULTY.
BUT TODAY WE ARE HERE TO TALK
ABOUT THE SUCCESSES WE HAVE HAD
OF GET THOUGH PAD AND DEVELOPING
THIS HARDWARE FOR OUR LONG-TERM
EXPLORATION PROGRAM.
WE ARE HARDWARE-RICH PROGRAM.
THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN IN NASA ALL
THAT OFTEN.
JUST A FEW MILES FROM HERE, WE
HAVE THE ORION CREW MODULE FOR
ARTEMIS 2.
WE HAVE THE CREW MODEL FOR 3.
WILL HEAR ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT
GOING ON ON THOSE ON THE CORE
STAGE FOR FUTURE MISSIONS, ON
THE ADVANCED PROGRAMS, WE HAVE
HARDWARE RICH IS A GREAT PLACE
TO BE.
ARTEMIS 1 IS THE FIRST STEP DOWN
THIS PATH.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SUSTAINED
EXPLORATION ON THE LUNAR SYSTEM
AND DEBTGETTING TO IT MARS.
ART THE MISS 1 IS THAT STEP.
THE COUNTDOWN STARTS TOMORROW.
IT IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO
BELIEVE.
I FEEL LIKE I SAT HERE THE OTHER
NIGHT.
HERE WE ARE START THOUGH
COUNTDOWN TOMORROW.
THE NEXT STEP BEYOND THIS IS
ARTEMIS 2.
WE ARE PUTTING CREW ON ARTEMIS 2
AND EXERCISING THE SYSTEMS ON 1
TO A GREAT TENSION MAKE SURE
WHEN WE PUT CREW ON 2, THE
VEHICLE IS READY TO GO.
OVERING THAT YOU SEE HERE,
LONGER-DURATION MISSION, MORE
TIME IN LUNAR ORBIT.
EVERY MINUTE WE SPEND, WE LEARN
ABOUT THE VEHICLE AND VIE DOWN
THE RISK FOR CREW.
ARTEMIS 3.
WE ARE RIGHT THE PRECIPICE OF
THAT AS WELL.
THAT IS VEHICLES COMING
TOGETHER, TOO.
THAT'S THE HUMAN LANDER.
IT IS BEING DEVELOPED.
I TALKED ABOUT THE CREW MODEL.
THE SURFACE SUITS THAT WE WILL
NEED.
ALL OF THAT IS COMING TOGETHER.
GAIN, HARDWARE-RICH IN NEAR-TERM
PROGRAM.
ARTEMIS 4 WHERE WE FLY TO
GATEWAY AND ORBIT AROUND THE
MOON AND LANDING FROM GATEWAY,
AGAIN, EXPANDING THE
INTERNATIONAL PART SMERSHIP.
THIS IS A GROUP THAT REALLY
MAKES IT HAPPEN HERE.
IT IS GREET SEE THAT U.S.
COMPANIES REPRESENTED.
IT IS GREAT TO SEE THE U.S.
COMPANIES REPRESENTED AND THE
AIRBUS PARTNER AS WELL.
WITH THAT, LET ME TURN IT OVER
TO YOU ON EXPLORATION GROUND
SYSTEMS.
>> THANK YOU, JIM.
GOOD MORNING.
IT IS GREET SEE YOU ALL.
TODAY WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE
PROGRESS WE MADE ON THE FUTURE
ARTEMIS MISSIONS.
BUT BEFORE WE GET INTO THAT
FUTURE WORK, WHICH WANT TO TAKE
A MINUTE TO RECOGNIZE THE
MILESTONE WE ARE COMING UP ON ON
MONDAY.
THE NASA KENNEDY SPACE CENTER
EXPLORATION GROUND SYSTEMS TEAM
AND THE WORKFORCE HAVE DONE AN
AMAZING JOB ASSEMBLING,
INTEGRATING, PREPPING THIS
VEHICLE FOR LAUNCH.
THIS NEW DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION
SYSTEM IS GOING TO TAKE US BACK
TO THE MOON.
TO A NEW SCIENCE DISCOVERY WES
CANNOT IMAGINE YET.
NASA IS ABOUT TO MAKE HISTORY
WITH THE FIRST FLIGHT OF THE
ARTEMIS PROGRAM.
JACOBS IS PROUD TO BE PART OF
THE TEAM.
ARTEMIS 1 IS GOING TO PROVE THE
KANG OF THE SLS AND ORION AND
THE ARCHITECTURE.
AND TEST THE STREAK ENSURE WE
CAN SAFELY CARRY CREW ON ART THE
MISSION 2 AND RETURN TO THE MOON
ON ARTEMIS 3.
HERE AT KENNEDY SPACE CENTERMENT
THE EXPLORATION GROUND SYSTEMS
TEAM IS BUSY UPGRADING THE
SYSTEMS AND THE IN STRA TALK
TURE NEEDED TO PROCESS FUTURE
ARTEMIS MISSIONS, SO LET'S GO
AHEAD AND START THAT OUT.
IF WE CAN PUT UP THE FIRST SLIDE
PLEASE.
WE WILL GO TOLL THE PAD.
PAD B IS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO
BE LAUNCHING.
THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE
LIQUID HYDROGEN THANK T. THERE
HAS BEEN MAJOR UPGRADES AT THE
PAD.
THE FIRST THING WILL SEE IS THE
SPHERE OF THE LIQUID HYDROGEN
TANK.
THAT'S THE LARGEST TANK THAT HAS
BEEN CONSTRUCTED.
BOTH 1.4 MILLION-GALLONS.
1.4 MILLION GALLONS OF LIQUID
HYDROGEN THAT IS GOING TO GIVE
NASA THE FLEX K TO HAVE MULTIPLE
LAUNCH TEAMS IN THE FUTURE AS GO
FORWARD.
LET'S ALSO TALK ABOUT UPGRADES
TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL
SYSTEM.
WE HAVE TO PROVIDE CONDITIONED
AIR AND NI TROY GONE TO THE
VEHICLE -- NITROGEN TO THE
VEHICLE AS WE PREPARE AND GO
THROUGH THE COUNTDOWN.
THOSE SUPPORT SYSTEMS TO DO THAT
ARE IN WORK RIGHT NOW.
THE CREW EMERGENCY EGRESS
SYSTEM.
OBVIOUSLY, WE DON'T NEED THAT ON
THE FIRST MISSION, BUT WE WILL
ON FUTURE MISSIONS AS WE CARRY
CREW.
SO THE EMERGENCY ESCAPE SYSTEM
OR EGRESS SYSTEM IS UNDER
CONSTRUCTION.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND GO THOUGH
MOBILE LAUNCHER THEN IN THE VAB,
WHICH IS ANOTHER MAJOR PORTION
OF THE GROUND SYSTEMS HERE AT
KENNEDY.
THE MOBILE LAUNCHER THAT YOU SEE
THERE, I THINK, ON THE RIGHT, IS
MOBILE LAUNCHER 1.
THAT IS CONFIGURED FOR THE BLOCK
1 CONFIGURATION OF THE VEHICLE.
THAT MOBILE LAUNCHER WILL BE
USED FOR THE FIRST THREE ARTEMIS
MISSIONS.
THAT ML IS GETTING THE EMERGENCY
EGRESS SYSTEM INSTALLED ON IT AS
SOON AS WE GET BACK FROM
LAUNCHING OUR ARTEMIS 1.
WE GOT 15 ADDITIONAL GROUND
SYSTEMS THAT ARE GOING UPGRADES
IN MODIFICATIONS TO PREPARE FOR
THE CREW VERSION OF THE VEHICLE
AND FUTURE GROWTH VERSIONS OF
SLS.
SO SECOND MOBILE LAUNCHER WHICH
IS NOT PICTURED THERE IS IN
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION UNDER A
SEPARATE CONTRACT.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT
THE VAB.
WITHIN THE VABVILLE THE ASSEMBLY
BUILDING.
3 IS WHERE WE ARE CONSTRUCTING
STACKING INTEGRATE TEG LAUNCH
VEHICLE AND THE SPACECRAFT.
AND WE ARE GOING TO BE MAKING
UPGRADES THERE TO PREP FOR
FUTURE MISSIONS.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEM
IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR FUTURE
MISSIONS TO ACCOMMODATE THE CREW
REQUIREMENTS.
WE ALSO GOT FABBRICATION NEW
PLATFORMS THAT ARE GOING TO BE
HAPPENING TO ACCOMMODATE THE
BLOCK 1B WITH THE EXPLORATION OF
THE UPPER STAGE AS WE EVOLVE
THIS VEHICLE AND GIVE IT NEW
CAPABILITIES.
4 WITHIN THE VAB IS ALSO GOING
TO BE UPGRADED TO A ACCOMMODATE
THE PROCESSING ITSELF.
THAT IS A LARGE UPPER STAGE, AND
IT IS GOING TO HAVE SPECIAL
REQUIREMENTS.
IN ADDITION TO THE HARDWARE, WE
ALSO HAVE THE LAUNCH CONTROL
SOFTWARE, THAT WE ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR.
SO EVEN AS EXECUTING THE ARTEMIS
1 LAUNCH CAMPAIGN, WE ARE ALSO
WORK IN A PARALLEL ON THE
ADVANCED VERSIONS OF THE GROUND
CONTROL SOFTWARE, WHICH WE'LL
HANDLE THE COUNTDOWN, THEN THE
LAUNCH PROCESS ITSELF FOR THE
CREW VERSIONS OF THE VEHICLE.
SO THAT SOFTWARE IS ALREADY 50%
COMPLETE.
WE HIT THAT MILESTONE.
WE ARE GOING TO BE USING THAT
EARLY NEXT YEAR FOREGROUND
SYSTEMS, TESTING, AND THAT WILL
BE READY IN TIME TO SUPPORT THE
ARTEMIS 2 LAUNCH IN 2024.
WE GOT SOME MODIFICATIONS GOING
ON WITHIN THE LANDING AND THE
RECOVERY WORL AFTER THIS 42-DAY
MISSION WHEN THE ORION CAPSULE
SPLASHES DOWN, WE ARE RECOVERING
THAT, WE ARE GETTING READY FOR
THAT AND PREPARING TO RECOVER
CREW ON FUTURE VERSIONS AS WELL.
WE TALKED ABOUT HARDWARE.
LET ME TALK ABOUT PEOPLE FOR
MINUTE.
ART THE MISS 2, THE NEXT MISSION
IN THIS CAMPAIGN IS GOING TO BE
ANOTHER FIRST WITH UPGRADE
FLIGHT HARDWARE, MODIFIED GROUND
SYSTEMS AND NEXT GENERATION
SOFTWARE.
BUT THE KEY TO MAKING THIS WORK
TOGETHER THIS IS PEOPLE.
THE GROUND OPS TEAM HAS EARNED
THROUGH THE ARTEMIS 1 CAMPAIGN
AND WET DRESS REHEARSALS THAT WE
HAD HAVE BEEN A FABULOUS
LEARNING EXPERIENCE AND THE TEAM
HAS EXECUTED MORE THAN 30
COUNTDOWN SIMULATIONS AS THEY
GET READY ANOTHER CHALLENGE OF
LAUNCHING ART THE MISSION 1.
SO MY BOTTOM LINE THAT IS WE ARE
MOVING OUT WITH UPGRADES AND
MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED TO BEGIN
PROS SEX FLIGHT HARDWARE FOR
MISSIONS.
AND THE PLANS DESIGNS AND
CONSTRUCTION OF UPGRADES NEEDED
FOR ARTEMIS 2, 3, 4 IN THE PIPE
LAIN AS WELL.
THANKS VERY MUCH.
NEXT UP IS JEFF FROM AEROJET
ROCKETDYNE.
>> ALL RIGHT THANK YOU, RANDY.
LET ME FIRST START BY SAYING WE
ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT MONDAY
SEA LAUNCH.
WE SEE THIS AS GENERATIONAL
ROCKET.
AEROJET ROCKETDYNE IS DOING
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE IT A
BIG SUCCESS.
IF WE CAN GO THOUGH FIRST IMAGE.
AS YOU MAY KNOW, WE ARE REUSING
16 SPACE SHUTTLE MAIN ENGINES TO
SUPPORT THE FIRST 4 ARTEMIS
MESSINGS.
NOW WE ARE ADAPTING THOSE.
THAT IS BRAIN OF THE ENGINE.
WE ARE ALSO AD SADDING A THERMAL
PROTECTION STOP THE NOZZLES THEN
UPGRADING THE SOFTWARE.
THE IMAGE YOU SEE IS OF THE
EARTH PLATFORM AT THE FACILITY
STENNIS SPACE CENTER WHERE THE
WORK IS BEING FORMER.
AUM HAPPY TO SAY THAT WORK IS
WELL AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.
ART TY MISS 2 ENGINES ARE
COMPLETE AND READY TO SHIP.
36 THE 4 ARTEMIS 3 ARE READY
AND THE FOURTH IS NEARLY
COMPLETE AND WE STARTED TO SAME
BILL BELL TWO OF THE ARTEMIS 4
ENGINES.
SO IF GO THIS NEXT IMAGE, YOU
WILL SEE PHOTO OF THE RS-25
CERTIFICATION ENGINE WHICH IS
BEING ASSEMBLED AT STENNIS SPACE
CENTER.
NOW WE ARE RESTARTING PRODUCTION
AFTER A 15-YEAR GAP.
AND WHILE WE ARE MAIN TABBING
THE SAFETY AND RELIGHT K OF THE
RS-25 ENGINE, WE ARE ALSO
INTROINTRODISUSING TARGET
REDESIGNS TO REDUCE COST.
THOSE CHANGES NEED TO BE
CERTIFIED.
SO THE ASSEMBLY OF CERTIFICATION
ENGINE IS 90% COMPLETE.
THAT ENGINES TO START TESTING
LATER THIS YEAR AND WILL
CONTINUE TESTING THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF 2023.
IF WE CAN GO TO THE LAST IMAGE.
THIS IS A PICTURE OF OUR NOZZLE
FURNACE LOCATED IN OUR CANOGA
PARK FA SUL THINK IN CALIFORNIA.
THIS IS THE LARGEST, FURNACE IN
THE COUNTRY.
AEROJET ROCKETDYNE HAS VINCEED
TO INCREASE THE KAPPAS IN THE
FACILITY.
WE ARE MOD EARNIZING THE
MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES
INCLUDING USING 3D PRINTING.
WE GOT 39 COMPONENTS THAT ARE 3D
PRINTED.
THAT REMAINS REDUCED PART COUNT,
REDUCED CYCLE TIME.
WE ARE ALSO RAMPING UP
PRODUCTION.
WE GOT COME NONES IN WORK
THROUGH ARTEMIS 9 SO THE
COMBINATION OF TARGETED
REDESIGNS, MODERN MANUFACTURING
TECHNIQUES , AND A RAMP UP OF
PRODICTION ENABLE US TO REDUCE
THE COST OF THE NEW GINS BY 30%.
WELL, NOW, TURN IT OVER TO
JENNIFER.
>> THANK YOU.
>> GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.
>> I AM EXCITED TO TALK A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT OUR FUTURE.
AND SO LET'S GO GO TO THE NEXT
SLIDE.
THE FIRST THREE ARTEMIS WILL BE
THE SLS BLOCK 1.
ARTEMIS 4 IS EVOLVING INTO THE
EXPLORATION UPPER STAGE BLOCK
1B.
THIS WILL ENABLE SUSTAINABLE AND
SCIENTIFIC WIDTH EXPLORATION FOR
THE SLS MISSIONS.
THIS IS WHY EUS AND BLOCK 1B IS
SO IMPORTANT.
EU CYST GOING TO BE ABLE TO VO
VIDE 897,000 POUNDS OF THRUST
VERS THE BLOCK 1 AT 2 THAT.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IT?
MEANS IT HE IS THREE TIMES THE
AMOUNT OF LIFT POWER TO GET US
TO THE MOON AND BEYOND.
AND ALSO PROVIDES 40 PERCENT
MORE PAYLOAD, OR 38 METRIC TONS
OR 83,000 POUNDS.
SLS WITH EUS PROVIDES PAYLOADS
THAT CO MANY TEST ABOUT THE OH
RYE YUN'S CHANGES.
ORION'S CAPABILITIES.
POTENTIAL MISSIONS THAT LAUNCH
ON SLS AND WITH EUS CAN INCLUDE
LARGE EARTH OBSERVATION
SATELLITES.
IT CAN INCLUDE SPACE TELESCOPES.
IT CAN ALSO INCLUDE MISSIONS TO
OUR OUTER PLANETS AND THEIR
MOON.
NEXT PLEASE.
BOEING IS, AND HAS BEEN
COMMITTED, INTO IMPROVING THE
PRODUCTION AND MANUFACTURING
PROCESSES BY UTILIZING LEAN
PRINCIPLES.
WE HAVE TAKEN OUR CORE STAGE 1
AND CORE STAGE 2 THE LESSONS
LEARNED THEN HAVE APPLIED THEM
TO THE EUS EXPLORATION UPPER
STAGE BEFORE WE EVEN START
PRODUCTION.
A COUPLE OF EX EXAMPLES OF THAT
IS WITH DESIGN OF TOOLS.
WE ARE UTILIZING THE SAME TOOLS
THAT PRODUCE CORE STAGE OR
PRODUCING EUS OFF THE SAME
THING.
WE HAVE ALSO IMPROVED OUR DESIGN
AND PROCESS IMPROVEMENT WHENS WE
TALK ABOUT THE INSTALLATION AND
THE TESTING OF OUR WIRE
HARNESSES WE HAVE SEEN
IMPROVEMENT THENPLIED THOSE THE
EUS THEN ALONG WITH UTILIZING
FRICTION WELDING NOT ONLY DOES
THAT PROVIDE US WEIGHT
IMPROVEMENTS FOR OUR ARTICLES
BUT ALSO IMPROVES OUR QUALITY
AND OUR SCHEDULE.
IN OUR FACTORY TODAY, WE ARE
PRODUCING THE WELD CONFIDENCE
ARTICLES ALONGING WITH THE VUK
RAL TEST ART KELLS FOR EUS AND
CORE STAGE 4 IS IN THE
PRODUCTION BUILD ALSO SO IT
EXCITING TIMES TODAY BUT ALSO
FOR OUR FUTURE.
WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER
TO DOUG HUR WHETHER I NORTH
THUMB GRUM MAN.
THANK YOU.
WE ARE ALL MINUS 3.
IT IS EXCITING TIME.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEIZE THAT THING
LAUNCH ON ON DAY MORNING.
I HOPE EBB CAN MAKE IT OUT AND
BRING YOUR FAMILIES AS WELL.
I HOPE EVERYBODY CAN MAKE IT OUT
AND BRING YOUR FAMILIES AS WELL.
CERTAINLY FROM MY PERSPECTIVE,
WE HAD A WONDERFUL HERITAGE WITH
THE SOLID ROCKET BOOSTERS
SUPPORTING SHUTTLE.
WE ARE FORT NATE ENOUGH AS TO
HAVE EIGHT FLIGHT SETS TO
SUPPORT ARTEMIS 1 THROUGH WELL
THE HERITAGE SHUTTLE BOOSTERS
NOM NU WE HAVE IMPROVED THEM AS
FAR AS ADDING A SEGMENT SO
IMPROVED THE THRUST BY
25 PERCENT AND CONTINUE TO OPTED
MY THE DESIGN AS HE W WE FLY OUT
THE HARDWARE FROM THE BOOSTER
LIFE EXTENSION PROGRAM.
I DON'T WANT TO USE TOO MANY
TIMES.
THAT'S THE ARTEMIS 9 BOOSTER AND
BEYOND.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
WE GO TO COMPOSITE CASE AND DO
SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT AS YOU
CAN SEE.
I KNOW, INCLUDING STRUCTURE,
PROPEL ENT MATERIALS S. WE GOT
ELECTRONIC THRUST CONTROL THAT
WE ARE GOING TO BE USING, AS
WELL AS NOZZLE EXPANSION.
IT GIVES ARTEMIS SLS THE
CAPABILITY OF ROUGHLY FIVE
METRIC TONS OFDATIONAL
CAPABILITY, SO IT IS REALLY,
REALLY IMPRESS.
WE ARE ALREADY HARD ART AT WORK
THAT.
YOU CAN SEE OTHER THINGS WE ARE
DOING AS FAR AS INCREASING THE
BURN TIMES.
WE ARE DOING OTHER OPTIMIZATION
ALONG THE WAY AND REALLY
TWEAKING THE DESIGN TO TAKE
ARTEMIS TO THE NEXT STEP.
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
YOU CAN SEE HERE.
THIS IS A CASE FOR DM1 TEST
MOTOR.
THIS WILL BE THE FIRST BOLE TEST
MOTOR THAT WE FIRE.
WE ARE TARGETING 2024 AT THIS
TIME.
WE ARE ALSO DOING SOME OTHER
WORK WITH MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT
CENTER.
YOU CAN SEE IN THE UPPER RIGHT
CORNER THERE IS THE SUBSCALE
MOTOR TEST.
WE HAVE DONE THREE OF THOSES
WITH THE 24-INCH SOLID ROCKET
BOOSTER SO WE ARE WORKING VERY
HARD TO SUPPORT ARTEMIS 1
THROUGH WELL THE CURRENT SHUTTLE
HARDWARE THEN WE ARE LOOK VERY
MUCH FORWARD TO FLYING THE NEW
BOOSTERS ON ARTEMIS 9.
THANK YOU.
IL WILL TURN IT OVER TO KELLY MU
FOR A LITTLE BIT OF LOCKHEED HAR
MIN.
>> THANK YOU, DOUG.
LIKE MY COLLEAGUE, THE TEAM AT
LOCKHEED MARTIN ARE TOTALLY
ENERGIZED TO BE HERE JUST DAY IS
A TRAY THE ARTEMIS 1 TEST FLIGHT
BECAUSE THAT TEST IS GOING TO
GIVE US THE INFORMATION AND THE
DATA WE NEED TO PROVE OUT OUR
SYSTEMS AND MAKE ART I MISS 2
SUCCESSFUL AS WELL.
IF YOU GO THOUGH FIRST IMAGE,
YOU CAN SEE THE ARTEMIS 2 CREW
MODEL IS WELL ON THE WAY IN
FABRICATION AND THE OPERATIONS
AND CHECKOUT FACILITY HERE AT
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER.
QEZ THE INITIAL POWER ON ACTIVES
EARLIER THIS YEAR.
IT IS GOING THROUGH THE TEST
PHASE AND WE'LL KNEEL THE
INTEGRATION OF THE OTHER
COMPONENT FORCE ARTEMIS 2 AND
DELIVER INTO NASA'S HANDS IN
2024.
UNSAY DOINGS ARTEMIS 2.
WE HAVE ARTEMIS 3'S CREW MODEL
ALSO IN THE FACILITY.
IT IS GOING THROUGH THE PRIMARY
AND SECONDARY STRUCTURAL IN
STALITION AND LATER THIS YEAR
WILL GO THO THE CLEAN RAM FOR
WELDING ACTIVES TO INSTALL THE
PROPULSION SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE
ECOSYSTEMS.
ARTEMIS 4 ALSO IN WORKS.
ARTEMIS 4'S CREW MODEL, THE
PRESSURE VESSEL, IS BEING FAB
PRI INDICATED AT THE ASSEMBLY
FACILITY WITH THE LOCKHEED
MARTIN TEAM THERE.
ALSO USING THE FRICTION STAIR
WELD FOR OPTIMIZING THAT
PRESSURE VESSEL.
IT WILL BE DELIVERED HERE EARLY
NEXT YEAR ABOUT THE FEBRUARY
TIMEFRAME.
THAT IS GOING TO BUT PUT US
WHERE WE NEED TO BE HERE AT
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER WITH THREE
SPACECRAFTS INFLOW AT ONCE.
IT THAT IS RATE THAT WE NEED TO
BE RAMPED UP TO TO MEET THE ONE
OVER ONE, THE MISSION OVER
MISSION THE ANNUAL RATE FOR NAS
AND WE ARE ON PLAN TO MEET THAT.
ARTEMIS 5 ALSO BEING BUILT,
ARTEMIS 5 IS ACROSS OUR 2900
SUPPLIERS IN ALL 50 STATES
INCLUDING PUERTO RICO AS WELL AS
11 COUNTRIES THIS THAT ARTEMIS 5
HARDWARE IS BEING BUILT AS WE
SPEAK AND WILL BE ROLLING INTO
THE INTEGRATION FACILITIES AS WE
MOVE INTO THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
SO LOCKHEED HARTIN IS COMMITTED
TO REDUCING THE ORION PRODUCTION
CONTRACT TO DELIVER SPACECRAFT
50% CHEAPER THAN WE WERE FROM
THE EARLY STAGES OF THE FLIGHT
HARDWARE.
AND KUMM OF THE WAYS WE ARE
DOING THIS IS NOT ONLY THE
ECONOMY'S SCALE THAT WE TALKED
ABOUT.
THE CAPITALIZING ON BOTH, BUT WE
ARE ALSO CREATE IN STRA TALK
TURE AND PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY
AND USING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
AND STATE-OF-THE-ART TOOLING
WITH AUGMENTED REALITY AS WELL
AS REUSE.
THE FLIGHT HARBOR REUSE IS
CRITICAL TO OR RYE YUN
SPACECRAFT COST REDUX.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE ON THIS
MISSION, ARTEMIS 1, WE HAVE USED
A PLIGHT BATTERY FROM OUR EFT1
MUGS THE TEST FLIGHT IN 2014 AND
TAKE AND FLIGHT PAT FRIDAY THAT
AND REPURPOSED IT AND SITTING
ONBOARD THE ARTEMIS 1 AS WELL AS
A COUPLE OF HARNESSES FROM THE
TEST PHASE OF EF2 1 THERE
ARTEMIS 1 TO 2 WE WILL TAKE 16
MOST OF THOSE ARE HIGH DOLLAR
AVI ON UKES ONCE THE CREW SEAT
THAT COMMANDER CAMPOS IS SITTING
IN AND REPURPOSED THEN BECOME A
PART OF ARTEMIS 2 THEN AS IN A
USUAL ENGINEERING PHASED
APPROACH.
WE WILL RAMP UP THAT NUMBER FOR
REUSE FROM ARTEMIS 2 THROUGH 5
AND WE'LL BE IN THE REALM OF 600
REUSABLE PARTS THEN FROM ARTEMIS
3 TO 6 UPWARDS OF 5,000 PARTS SO
WE ARE RAMPING UP QUICKLY AND
OUR TEAM IS WORKING HARD TO
QUALIFY ALL OF THAT FOR MULTIPLE
USE.
SOME OF THEM ON FIVE MISSIONS.
SOME ARE TWO MISSIONS.
THEN AS WE GAIN THIS INFORMATION
AND DATA FROM THIS TEST FLIGHT
AND ARTEMIS 2, WE MIGHT BE TIBE
INCREASE THERE.
IF YOU GO THO THE NEXT CHART.
THIS SHOWS A COUPLE OF OUR MA
CHANGES AND TECHNICIAN USING
AUGMENTED REAL THINK.
ON THE LEFT US THE CREW SEAT
ASSEMBLY AT THE ASSEMBLY FACTORY
USING THE GOGGLES.
AND ON THE RIGHT WE HAVE A
MECHANIC AT THE ONC FA STILL
THERE AND SHE IS PLACE FACILIAND
PLACING USING THE HOLLOW LENS SO
YOU CAMPAIGN GIVE, YOU KNOW LENS
AUGUST AMED REALITY, IT IS NOT
QUITE LIKE THE VIRTUAL GAMING
GOGGLES AT HOME, THE WHOLE WORLD
IS BLOCKED OUT.
YOU CAN SEE THE HARDWARE AND THE
PEOPLE IN FRONT OF YOU BECAUSE
YOU DON'T WANT TO RUN OVER
ANYONE WHILE ARE DIDDING THIS.
YOU CAN SEE THE EXTERNAL
ENVIRONMENT AROUND.
YOU CAN SEE THE HARDWARE ARE
WORK ON.
OVERLAID ON TOP OF THAT, YOU CAN
SEE THE MODELS.
YOU CAN SEE THE INSTRUCTIONS.
THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN THE
FIELD OF VIEW.
IT TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO.
WHAT TOOL TO USE.
AND ALL OF THE FEATURES, SO MAIM
GIN NO, NO MORE MANUAL
DOUBLE-CHECKING.
DID THAT INSTRUCTION SAY?
LET ME WALK OVER HERE.
LET ME WALK OVER THERE.
THERE IS ALSO AN ADDED FEATURE
WHERE WHEN START TO COMBINE
THESE TOOLS TOGETHER, WE HAVE
SEEN UPWARDS OF 30% COST REDUBS
TO THE MECHANIC AND THE
PRODUCTION ON THE FLOOR.
300% REDUCTION.
SO THIS IS JUST A COUPLE OF EX A
AMPLES OF HOW WE ARE USING THAT
AUGUST AMED REALITY.
THEN IN ADDITIONS TO THAT AND
OTHER DIGITAL TRANSFORM MATION
WITH SMART TOOLS WE ARE ALSO IN
CORPORATE THE 3D ADDED
HARDWARE AND DRIVING THE COST
DOWN SO LOCKHEED MARTIN AND THE
PARTNERS ARE COMMITTED TO THIS
AND THEN AGAIN, WE ARE EXTREMELY
EX EXCITED TO BE PART OF THE
NASA MANY TOAST GO TO DEEP SPACE
AND BEYOND AND WITH THAT, WILL
TURN EFFORT TO RALPH ZIMMERMAN
FOR AIRBUS AND SERVICE MODULE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> I AM VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE.
I AM VERY EXCITED TO BE A PART
OF THEM A.
THAT IS GREAT MISSION.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME EVER IN
THE HISTORY OF NASA AND
BASICALLY NON-U.S. COMPANY
COUNTRY BUTTE TO A MAJOR
PROGRAM.
I GUESS LET ME EXPAND A BIT WHY
WE THINK WE DESERVE THIS TRUST.
WE HAVE QUITE HERITAGE IN THE
SYSTEMS.
WE HAVE DELIVERED THE SPACE LAB.
MORE THAN, WE HAVE BUILT THE
VEHICLE AND DELIVERED FIVE OF
THOSE VEHICLES WHICH
AUTOMATICALLY PROVIDED GOODS,
FUEL, AND CONSUMABLES TO SPACE
STATION.
BASICALLY A WE HAVE R BUILDING
NOW EUROPEAN SERVICE PODDUAL IS
BASED ON ALL THE NOTHING WHICH
WE HAVE GAINED IN THE TRANSFER.
AND AS SUCH I GUESS THE TRUST IS
THERE.
WE CAN THEM TO FIRST PICTURE
PLEASE.
I BASICALLY PUT PEOPLE IN FRONT.
WE ARE VERY EXCITED ON THE TOP
GUN VISITING US AND THANK YOU
FOR COMING.
THIS IS REALLY GREASE THIS IS
REALLY GREAT.
FOR ME, I HAD QUATE HOST ARE IN
THE SPACE BUSINESS.
INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONS IS
QUITE KEY IF YOU WANT TO GO TO
THE MACHINE AND EVEN BEYOND.
IN THIS SENSE, I WOULD SAY,
CORPORATION IS GREAT.
WE ARE WITH OUR AGENCIES WITH
NASA AND ESA AND SUCH A GREAT
TEAM CAN MOVE A MOUNTAIN.
SO LET ME GIVE SOME WORD ON WHAT
WE ARE BUILDING.
GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
THIS IS UP JUST A SKETCH OF THE
NOT FULLY EQUIPPED EUROPEAN
SERVICE MODULE.
IT IS QUITE DENSELY PACKED.
I MIGHT SAY.
THIS IS NOT YET EVEN FULL.
ALL THE TANKS ARE MISSING.
SO WE HAVE OVER 20,000 IN A BIT
MORE THAN FOUR METERS THEN A BIT
MORE THAN TYPE OF.
WE HAVE MORE THAN EIGHT TONS OF
PROPE PELLNT THAT WE PROVIDE
LATER AND 11-KILOWATTS OF
ELECTRIC POWER AND THE OXYGEN
NITROGEN AND WATER AND WE TAKE
CARE OF THE CAP SALE IN TERMS OF
THE COOLING AND PROVIDE ENERGY
FOR THE HEATING AS SUCH I GUESS
INSIDE OF THE ORION TEAM
PROVIDING THE SERVICE MODULE.
THE LAST TWO YEARS WHICH WILL BE
BLOCKED AND WE ARE HAPPY TO MAKE
THIS AND NOW WE HAVE DELIVERED
NOT ONLY THE FIRST ONE ON THE
ROCKET ACTUALLY WE DELIVERED IT
ALREADY TWO YEARS AGO AND HERE
IN TESTING THEN THE SECOND ONE
IS ALSO OVER HERE BEING JUST
MATED WITH THE CRAW MODULE AND
TESTED.
NUMBER THREE AND FOUR NORTH OF
GR MANY IN ON THE INTEGRATION
SIDE AND UNDER CONTRACT FOR UP
TO NUMBER SIX FOR THE STRUCTURE
AND NUMBER FIVE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
AND NUMBER SIX EVEN BEFORE THE
MILD OF NEXT YEAR AND INCREASING
OUR CAPABILITIES TO HANDLE THREE
YEARS AND AT ONE TIME NOW.
I GIS WITH THAT WE ARE PREPARED
ON ONE MODULE PER YEAR.
THANK YOU FOR THAT.
I AM HANG IT BACK TO YOU.
THANK.
THANK YOU.
FORS THE ON THE PHONE, PLEASE
PRESS STAR 1 TO BE TERNED INTO
CUE AND ALSO TALKING QUESTIONS
ON SOCIAL MEDIA USING THE
HASHTAG ASK ART THE MISS.
AND WHEN YOU GO TO YOU, PLEASE
STATE YOUR NAME, YOUR
AFFILIATION AND WE CUZ STICK
TO ONE QUESTION SO EVERYONE HAS
CHANCE TO ASK THE QUESTION.
EVEN PERHAPS NUMBER OF PERSONNEL
THAT WORK THAT ARE INVOLVED IN
THIS?
>> OVER 3,000 COMPANIES THAT
HAVE PARTICIPATED AND DRAW OUT
ANOTHER NUMBER.
700 SMALL BUSINESSES AS WELL AND
I THINK THAT IS TREMENDOUS THAT
MALL BUSINESSES PLAY A ROLE IN
THIS.
DON'T HAVE THE WORK FORCE
NUMBERS OF THE TOP OF MY HEAD,
THOUGH.
I THINK WE CAN FOLLOW UP WITH
YOU ON THAT, MARK.
I KNOW I SAW THEM YESTERDAY.
BUT IF I QUOTE THEM WRONG, I
CAN'T LOOK TO MY RIGHT BECAUSE
SOMEONE WILL BE UPSET WITH ME.
WE OWE YOU THAT.
>> ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO HERE TO THE FRONT ROW.
>> HI.
I AM JIM SIEGEL WITH NASA
TECH.NET.
I BELIEVE MY QUESTION IS
PROBABLY DIRECTED AT JIM.
ALTHOUGH, I AM NOT SURE THE REST
OF YOU WILL CHIME IN.
WHEN ARTEMIS WAS ANNOUNCED A FEW
YEARS AGO, I RECALL THAT THERE
WAS AN EFFORT TO GO THROUGH
ARTEMIS 1 AND ARTEMIS 2 AND 3.
HERE IS WHAT WE DO ON EACH ONE
OF THOSE.
AND YOU TOUCHED ON THOSE BUY
WONDERED IF YOU COULD KIND OF GO
THROUGH THE LIST STARTING WITH
SAY NUMBER 2 AND WHAT IS THE
GOAL OF EACH ONE OF THOSE?
WHAT IS THE TIMEFRAME OF EACH
ONE OF THOSE GOING OUT TO
ARTEMIS 9 OR WHATEVER THE
HIGHEST NUMBER IS?
DUNE THAT, PLEASE.
>> SURE.
SO IT GIST ONE IS THE UNCRUDE
TEST FLIGHT WHERE WE ARE BIG
DOWN THE RISK IN THE SYSTEM AND
EVEN FLYING I WILL SAY RISKIER
MISSION THE DURATIONS THAT WE
PICKED.
2 IS A CRUDE FLIGHT.
I SHOULD SAY ONE GOES INTO A
DISTANCE RETROGRADE OR PITT.
TWO IS A CRUDE FLIGHT WHERE WELL
WILL, GAPE, PROVE OUT MORE
SYSTEMS , THE LIFE SUPPORT
SYSTEMS.
THAT WILL GO ON A FREE RETURN
TRAJECTORY TO THE MOON.
AND AGAIN, WEIGH DONE THE RISK
SO WE DON'T HAVE TO FIRE COME
HOME.
THREE WILL GO INTO THE NEAR HALO
ORBIT WITH THE HUMAN LANDER AND
LAND.
FOUR WILL GO TO GATEWAY.
WHERE WILT THE FIRST FLIGHT OF
THE BLOCK 1B VEHICLE THAT WAS
MENTIONED EARLIER WHERE WE TAKE
PAYLOAD, ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL
PAYLOAD AND DOCK THAT TO GET
AWAY.
FIVE WILL TAKE ANOTHER
MANIFESTED PAY LED.
IT WILL ALSO BRING IN THE LUNAR
TERRAIN VEHICLE ON THE SURFACE.
AND THEN, WHEN WE GET SIX AND
BEA YOND, WE START TALKING ABOUT
POTENTIAL AIRLOCK, AND THEN VERY
MUCH SHALL WE GET INTO A CADENCE
OF WHERE WE ARE, WHERE WE ARE
DOING MORE SCIENCE.
WE START TO BRING IN ON THE
LATER MISSION, 7, 8, 9, WE BRING
A PRESSURESSIZED ROVER AND START
LOOKING A SURFACE HABITATION, SO
THAT AS WE ARE GOING THROUGH THE
YEARLY MISSION, WE ARE MAXIMIZE
THE SCIENCE.
WE ARE DESIGN THINGS LIKE LTV TO
BE ON THE SURFACE WHEN THE CRIES
NOT TO BE OPERATED TO DO SCIENCE
AND MUCH LIKE WE OPERATE THE
MARS ROVERS TODAY.
THAT DEFINITION WHEN WE GET 6,
7, 8, 9, THAT IS WHAT WE ARE
GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW.
HONESTLY, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
SCHEDULE FOR 4 AND ALL OF THE
ELEMENTS THAT HAVE TO COME
TOGETHER, IT IS A SIGNIFICANT
EMOTIONAL EVENT OF HOW ALL OF
THAT COMES TOGETHER BECAUSE, YOU
KNOW, IT IS, IT IS LIKE, HEY, AT
THAT POINT, WE ARE FULL STEAM
AHEAD INTO THE MISSION.
SO, SO WE ARE AT ONE THROUGH
FIVE, WE ARE WORK DETAILS OF
SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN.
AT THE SAME TIME.
WE ARE DEVELOPING THE
ARCHITECTURE THROUGH SOME OF THE
OBJECTIVES WORK WE HAVE DONE
RECENTLYING THAT THE DEPUTY
ADMINISTRATOR.
ASKING THROUGH THE BROAD EXPLORE
RACIAL OBJECTIVES THEN NARROWING
DOWN TO ARCHITECTURE WHICH TAKES
US OUT TO MARS THEN LOOKING AT,
YOU KNOW, ROLLING THROUGH THAT
ARCHITECTURE DECISIONS AND
PROCESS IN THE EARLY PART OF
NEXT YEAR.
>> THANK YOU, SIR.
>> THANK YOU.
DID I SEE ANOTHER NAND WE WILL
GO OVER HERE TO THE SECOND ROW.
DY SEE ANOTHER HAND?
>> DID I SEE ANOTHER HAND?
>> THANK YOU.
I BELIEVE MY QUESTION IS FOR
JENNIFER.
I AM CURIOUS ABOUT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE EXPLORATION
UPPER STAGE FOR THAT ARTEMIS 4
FLIGHT.
JUST BECAUSE IT SEEMS LAKE
FAIRLY LARGE LEAP WITH A LOT OF
DEMAND FORCE A MISSION.
I AM CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT WELLEST
THISSING REGIME BE?
DO YOU IMMEDIATE TO FLY UNCRUDE
TEST ON A DIFFERENT TYPE OF
BOOSTER TO PROVE IT OUT BEFORE
ARTEMIS 4 OR HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT
TESTING THAT?
>> WELL, AS IENTIAL PLANNED A
LITTLE BIT.
WE ARE GOING THROUGH THE
STRUCKRAL WELD ART KELLS NOW.
MAKE SURE EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD
THERE.
OUR STRUCTURAL TEST ART KELLS
WILL BE ANOTHER WAY TO PROVE THE
CAPABILITY.
NOW, OUR 4 WILL GO THROUGH TO
THE STENNIS SPACE CENTER, WHERE
WE WILL DO A HOT FIRE, SIMILAR
TO CORE STAGE 1 AND THEN COME TO
THE KSC4 LAUNCH SOME OF THAT'S
THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN IN HOW WE
ARE GOING TO PROVE OUT THE
CAPABILITIES WITH THE EUS.
NEXT WE'LL TAKE QUESTION FROM
THE PHONE.
WE HAVE ANDREW TANGLE OF THE
"WALL STREET JOURNAL"?
>> YES, HI THERE, HOW ARE YOU?
>> THE MEMBERS OF THE PANELLE
FROM THE INDUSTRY COULD MAYBE
OUTLINE HOW PROFITABLE THIS
PROGRAM HAS BEEN THE COMPANIES
AND GIVES A SENSE OF HOW AS NASA
TRIES TO REDUCE COSTS TO THE
FUTURE MIGS AND SHIFTS SOME OF
THE RISKS AND FINANCIAL
RESPONSEK TO THE INDUSTRY, HOW
WILLING THE COMPANIES ARE TO
ACCEPT LOWER PROFIT MARGINS OR
EVEN LOSSES ON FUTURE MISSIONS
AS IT GUESS FORWARD?
>> STARTS WITH YOU.
>> OK.
SURE.
>> AS WE EVOLVE IN WORK THROUGH
FUTURE MISSIONS, WE FULLY EXPECT
TO SEE THE WORKFORCE
REQUIREMENTS, FOR EXAMPLE CHANGE
AS WE GET READY SMARTER AND WE
GET MORE EXPERIENCE IN
PROCESSING GROUND HARDWARE AND
DEVELOPING THE NEW SYSTEMS.
THE LABOR REQUIRED TO DO ANY
PARTICULAR OPERATIONS SHOULD
ABSOLUTELY, SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE
GOING DOESN'T AND WE ANTICIPATE
THAT ON FUTURE DONE TRACKS.
I CAN'T REALLY SPEAK TO HOW
PROFITABLE A PARTICULAR CONTRACT
IS SPECIFICALLY BUT IT IS IN THE
PUBLIC DOMAIN.
IT IS IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN OUT
THERE.
SO I AM SURE THAT INFORMATION
CAN BE FOUND, BUT AT ANY RATE.
WE WANT THIS TO BE A 30-YEAR
SUSTAINABLE PROGRAM AS NASA HAS
TALKED ABOUT, SO WE REALIZE WE
ALL HAVE A PART TO SAVE MONEY,
TO BE MORE EFFICIENT AS WE GO
FORWARD, TO BRING UNNEW
TECHNOLOGY.
AND CERTAINLY SPEAK FOR JACOBS
TO SAY THAT IS OUR APPROACH.
>> YEAH.
THANKS, A DRAIN SUSPECT FROM MY
PERSPECTIVE AEROJET ROCKETDYNE.
FIRST, I WOULD APPLAUD NASA
ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOG LOOK FOR
SOLUTIONS TO MAKE IT MORE
AFOABLE.
WHAT I WOULD EXPECT IS , WE
EXCITED ABOUT THIS IN THE
FUTURE.
AS WE SEE THE LAUNCH MANIFEST
STABILIZE AND SEE THE LAUNCH
CADENCE STABILIZE TO ONE LAUNCH
PER YEAR, MAYBE TWO LAWNS PER
YEAR, I WOULD EXPECT US TO COME
DOWN THE LEARNING CURVES THEN
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.
IT IS A JOURNEY THAT DOESN'T END
SO WE LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO
REDUCE COSTS.
THAT IS NOT GOING TO STOP.
>> YEAH.
YOU TOOK THE WORDS OUT OF MY
MOUTH THERE.
YOU KNOW?
IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO
CONTINUOUSLY INNOVATE AND FIND
BETTER WAYS OF PROCESSING,
THAT TO MAKE
THIS AFFORDABLE.
WE ARE HERE FOR THE LONG HAUL.
WE WANT THIS FUTURE.
AND SO OUR TEAMS ARE
CONSISTENTLY DAY IN, DAY OUT.
I AM ON THE SHOP FLOOR AND
TALKING ABOUT HEY, I HAVE A GOOD
IDEA TO MAKE THIS A BETTER WAY
OF PRODUCING IT COULD WE DO
THIS?
SO YOU KNOW, IT IS REALLY TAKING
OUR TEAMMATES IN THE INNOVATION
IDEAS AND REALLY PUTTING THEM TO
THE TEST AND GETTING THEM
IMPLEMENTED SO WE ARE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO DO THAT DAY IN AND
DAY OUT.
>> YEAH.
COMMITTED TO SIGNIFICANTOU KNOW?
REDUCTION IN COST AS WE
RESPONDED TO THE PARTNERS, YOU
KNOW?
WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PROGRAM
NEEDS TO BE SUSTAINED.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, WE
ARE GOING TO DO OUR PART IN
REDUCING COSTS AND EFFICIENCIES
WHERE WE CAN GET, AS I SAID
BEFORE, THE NEWER BOOSTERS, THAT
IS FOG LEAN THINGS EVEN MORE,
YOU KNOW, WE ARE WORKING
TOGETHER.
WE WORK VERY WELL TOGETHER WITH
THE INDUSTRY PARTNERS AND WE
WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT TO MAKE
THIS PROGRAM SUCCESSFUL.
>> AND AS MENTIONED EARLIER,
REDUCING THE COST BY 50% IN THE
PRODUCTION RUN, AND, YOU KNOW,
WE ARE FROM DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAM.
WE ARE ON THE CONTRACT.
WE HAVE TRANSITIONED TO THE
INCENTIVE AND OUR PRODUCTION
RUNS AND BACK INTO THE FIRM
PRICE.
A ALL WORKS TOGETHER.
IT IS, YOU KNOW, THE WAY WE NEED
TO START SHIFTING THE RISKS AND
YOU KNOW, THE GOVERNMENT TO THE
INDUSTRY.
AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ALL
DRIVING OUR COST DOWN FOR THAT
SUSTAINABLE FUTURE BECAUSE WE
ABSOLUTELY ARE HERE FOR MAKING
ART THE MISS A PROGRAM FOR DES
DECADES TO COME.
THAT IS THE WAY WE ARE GOING TO
DO IT.
>> YEAH.
BEING THE LAST ONE WISH THERE
LITTLE TO ADD.
MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ALREADY SAID.
MAYBE SOMETHING WORTH TO NOTE
HERE BECAUSE IT MAY KNOB CLEAR.
THE EUROPEAN PARTNER IS
FINANCED.
WE ARE UNDER CONTRACT JIM THE UR
EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY THIS IS
AGREEMENT SO WE ARE NOT WORK IN
THE AMERICAN TAX PAYER'S MONEY.
WE ARE, WOG ON EUROPEAN TAXPAYER
MONEY.
>> THANKS.
WE TAKE ANOTHER QUESTION FROM
THE PHONE.
WE WILL TAKE ANOTHER GRE THE
PHONE.
AEROSPACE.
REPORTER: REPORT GOOD MORNING,
HE.
THIS IS FOR THEISM'S REPS.
WITHOUT TAKING AWAY FROM YOUR
ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN THE LEAST,
YOU KNOW, SPACE IS A TEAM SPORT.
YOU HAVE ALL MENTIONED LOCATIONS
AROUND THE UNITED STATES LIKE
TENNIS AND CITY OF CANOGA PARK,
CALIFORNIA, LOTS OF WORK ALSO IN
OHIO.
TESTING AT THE NA NASA FACILITY
BUT ALSO LOTS OF ADDED A
INDUSTRIES THERE.
CAN YOU SHARE THE GLORY A BIT
AND TALK ABOUT THE SMALL AND
MEDIUM SIDES BUSINESSES THAT
HAVE AND ARE SUPPORTING THIS
LAUNCH AND THE COMING MISSION?
CAN YOU GIVE A FEW EXAMPLES.
THANK YOU.
>> YEAH.
MEAN, BOY, I WANT TO SUPPLIER
EVENT, I FORGET ONE, DOWN HERE
FEW MONTHS AGO.
AND MET SOME FOLKS THAT WERE
MAKING A PAR TK PARTICULARLY
DIFFERENT PART FOR SLS.
IT WAS MECHANICAL PART, SMALL
MECHANICAL ACTUATOR AND LIKE
THIS GENTLEMEN WHO STARTED THE
BUSINESS THE GROUND UP HIMSELF.
AND HE HAD, HE AND HIS WIFE WERE
DOWN HERE, AND KIND OF SWIMMINGE
NEVER BEEN A PART OF ANYTHING
LIKE THIS.
ACTUALLY GOT TO MEET DOUG
HURLEY.
THEY GOT TO MEET DOUG HURLEY,
WHICH IS A LATE FOR ANYBODY.
BUT FOR THEM TO SEE THEIR --
WILL SAY THEIR EXCITEMENT, IT
RENEWED FOR ME THE VALUE OF WHAT
WE DO, BOTH AT THE BIG AND THE
SMALL LEVEL.
JUST A WE DO FOR INSPIRATION.
MY OTHER COLLEAGUES MAY HAVE
OTHER SMALL BUSINESS EX PEALS?
YEAH.
I WOULD COMMIT ON THAT.
MY FORMER CAREER, WE SPENT A LOT
OF TIME VISITING THE SMALLER
SHOPS.
NOW, THEY CON BE FROMBUTEDDED TO
SHUTTLE.
WE STARTED DOING THE SAME THING
AS WE WERE TURNING TOWARD SLS.
I AGREE, IT IS JUST AMAZING THE
SMALL COMPANIES THEY BUILT ONE
PART OR TWO PARTS BUT THE
EMPHASIS ON UNDERSTANDING HOW
IMPORTANT THOSE PARTS ARE.
SO THE OVERALL MISSION AND HOW
THEY CAN IN HAB BAIT GREAT
EFFECT OR ADVERSE EFFECT AND IT
IS INCREDIBLE TO JUST SEE THE
SUPPLIER CONFERENCES THE SMALL
COMPANIES ALL AROUND THE UNITED
STATES THAT CON BE FROM BUTESSED
TO THIS PROGRAM.
THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THIS
PROGRAM.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL TAKE ANOTHER QUESTION FROM
HERE IN THE ROOM.
>> THANK YOU.
I AM CURIOUS ABOUT PERIENCE WITH
THE SURFACE MODULE AND BUILDING
THAT FOR LAKE A FUTURE VEHICLE
THAT YOU MAY HAVE PLANNED FOR
EUROPEAN CRUDE FLYINGS BEING
EVOLUTION OF THE ATV PERHAPS,
WHAT SORT OF LESSONS HAVE YOU
DRAWN FROM THE SURFACE MODULE
HERE TO COULD BE APPLIED TO THE
SPACE.
>> WELL, THE SURFACE MODULE IS
IN TERMS IF YOU COMPARE IT TO
JUST A PART OF IT BASICALLY.
YOU ALSO HAVE THE LOGISTICS AND
ON THE INSIDE AND A BIG UPFRONT
WILL DELIVER THE SPACE.
WELL NEVERTHELESS, WHAT WE
LEARNED OB TOP OF IT WHAT WE DID
IS NOT THE SURFACE MODULE THAT
IS NOT COMPLETELY HUMAN RATED.
THE ATV WAS ONLY PARTLY JUST
ANOTHER DOCKING PHASE AND REALLY
APPROACHED THE SPACE STATION, BY
THIS, WE HAVE ADDITIONAL
REDUNDANCY INSIDE AND OF COURSE,
WE LEARNED A LOT WITH THAT AND I
GUESS, WE HAVE LEARNED ALREADY
PREVIOUSLY HOW WE CAN RELIABLY
PRODUCE THESE KIND OF VERY
COMPLETION STAGES AND SUCH AND
NOW WE ARE OPTIMIZING AS OUR
COOL LEAGUES HAVE BEFORE AND SEE
WHAT WE CAN DO AND NARROW IT
DOWN TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE IN
THIS PRODUCTION AND GET OUT ONE
PER YEAR.
THAT IS OUR GOAL.
WE HAVE UNVESTED IT TO SEE IN
OUR FACILITIES.
I HOPE THAT ANSWERED YOUR
QUESTIONS.
THANK MUM WE WILL TAKE ANOTHER
GRE THE PHONE.
WE HAVE MARVIN MARSHALL WITH
NIGHTTIME NEWS SPACE REPORT.
>> HI.
MY NAME IS MARVIN MASH MARSHALL
FROM NIGHTTIME REPORT.
MY QUESTION IS FOR DOUG HURLEY.
IT IS A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU.
I AM SURE WORKED CLOSELY WITH
SPACEX.
WHAT DID WORKING WITH SPACEX ON
ADDS ADVANCING HUMAN MOTION ARE
RACIAL BY MAKING FALCON 9 TEAM
YOU?
HOW MUCH CONFIDENCE THAT D THAT
WHO WHOLE PROCESS GIVE IN THE
ABILITY TO RETURN TO THE MACHINE
AND LUN OAR SURFACE AND THE STAR
SHIP AND ORION CAPSULE IN THE
COMING YEARS WITH THE ARTEMIS
PROGRAM?
THANK YOU.
>> GREAT QUESTION.
YEAH.
IT IS A PROCESS, RIGHT?
YOU KNOW, WE HAD GREAT TEAM, A
SMALL RELATIVELY SMALL TEAM AT
NASA THAT WORKED WITH SPACEX AND
THE COLLABORATION WAS
INCREDIBLE.
AND YOU KNOW, I HAVE SEEN THAT.
I DIDN'T GET TO DO A TON OF WORK
WITH ORION AND SLS BECAUSE MY
LAST FIVE OR SIX YEARS AT NASA
WAS WORKING WITH SPACEX AND WITH
THE NASA TEAM TO DELLGET US TO
ISS IN 2020 SO BUT IT IS VERY
SIMILAR MUND SET.
YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE THE UPS AND
DOWNS AND WORK THROUGH THOUGH
PROCESSES.
YOU KNOW?
PEOPLE REMEMBER.
WE HAD SIGNIFICANT UPS AND DOWNS
GET THOUGH LAUNCHPAD WITH
SPACEX.
AND YOU KNOW, WHAT I LIKE ABOUT
ARTEMIS 1 AND THE FLIGHT TEST,
THIS FLYING TEST WE ARE PUSHING
THE HARDWARE ON THIS FLIGHT.
TO GIVES A CONFIDENCE TO PUT CRU
ON IT ON ARTEMIS 2.
VERY SIMILAR MIND SET AS TO WHAT
WE DID WITH DM1 IF YOU REMEMBER.
WE FLEW UNCRUDE TEST FLIGHT AS
WELL AND FLEW ABORT TEST AND
THEN PUT CRAW ON FALCON 9 AND
DRAGON.
SO I REALLY LIKE THE DIRECTION
WHERE WE ARE GOING FROM, YOU
KNOW, A FORMER TEST PILOT, AND
THIS IS A VERY MEASURED
APPROACH, BUT WE ARE BECK
AGGRESSIVE WITH WHAT WE ARE
ASKING THE HARDWARE TO DO ON
THIS PARTICULAR FLIGHT.
SO WE HAVE TOTAL CONFIDENCE WHEN
WE PUT OUR CREW ONBOARD.
>> THANK YOU.
WE TAKE A QUESTION FROM SOCIAL
MEDIA.
>> THANKS SO MUCH.
YOU GOT A QUESTION FROM TWITTER.
THIS ONE IS FOR LOCKHEED.
WHAT IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE
SINCE THE NAVIGATION SYSTEMS?
WHAT IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE
SINCE THE APOLLO YEARS?
>> WOW.
HOW LONG DO WE HAVE?
SO YOU KNOW, OVER THE LAST WEEK,
I WILL HARD A LOT OF THE
INFORMATION AND A LOT OF THE
FACTS FLYING AROUND OF THE
COMPARISON BETWEEN APOLLO AND
ORION, YOU KNOW, ALL THE WAY
DOWN TO THE SHAPE ITSELF.
YOU KNOW?
THERE IS CERTAIN THINGS THAT YOU
JUST DON'T NEED TO CHANGE AND
SHOULDN'T CHANGE LOOK THE SHAPE,
RATING FOR THE DIE NAMIC SUPPLY
AND THE DYNAMICS OF THE
SPACECRAFT.
THE ADVANCES IN ALL OF THE AVI
ON UKES THE NAVIGATION, THE
GUIDANCE THE FLIGHT COMPETING IS
JUST MACHINE UMAL, MAY, IF YOU
CAN IMAGINE , BACK IN THE '60 E,
THEN, NOBODY EVEN HAD PC, SO I
MEAN, JUST WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
THE FLIGHT EQUIPMENT, IT IS NOT
IN COMPARISON DO IN THE POWER
AND THEY HAD FUEL CELLS AND
SOLAR CELLS ON OR ORION AND GO
DOWN THE LIST TO TAKE LONG TIME.
I THINK I REMEMBER A KNACK SAID
THAT THE COMPUTING POWER, I WILL
JUST PUT THINK IT WAY.
THE COMPUTING POWER ON ORION IS
4,000 TIMES GRATER THAN ON
APOLLO THAT PUTS IT INTO
PERSPECTIVE THEN ALL OF THE
PARTNERS ARE IN CORPORATING THE
STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY TO
MAKE THAT HAPPEN AS THE SYSTEMS.
SO IT IS THE SAME IN SOME
ASPECTS SOME OF THE MATERIALS
ARE THE SAME.
BUT THE COMPUTING POWER AND THE
TECHNOLOGY TO BUILD THIS
SPACECRAFT, IT'S THE SAFEST
SPACECRAFT FOR HUMANS EVER
CREATED FOR OUR AS VO
THROUGHOUTS.
WILT GO FURTHER THAN HAVE EVER
GONE BEFORE.
40,000 MILES BEYOND THE MOON AND
SUPER EX XID TO SEE HOW IT
PERFORM OS.
THE HEAT SHIELD ON THE BACK END
IS GOING TO SHOW US HOW WE HAVE
TAKEN THAT MATERIAL FROM THE
APOLLO DAYS AND BROUGHT THAT
INTO THE 21st CENTURY INFROM
A NEW WAY OF MANUFACTURING IT AS
WELL AS LARGER THE OH YIN IS
ABOUT 3 PERCENT LARGERS THAN THE
APPALL LOW CAPSULE AS WELL.
SO SOME THINGS ARE THE SAME.
WE HAVE BILL ON THE PAST AND
JUST MADE IT THOUSANDS TIMES
BETTER WE ARE STANDING ON THE
SHOWER OF GIANTS BUT WE ARE
READY TO GO.
>> YEAH.
I SAW ONE MORE OVERHERE IN THE
THIRD ROW.
>> HI, MY NAME IS CAIN WITH
VOICE OF AMERICA.
MY QUESTION IS LESS TECHNICAL
AND A LITTLE BIT MORE EMOTIONAL.
CERTAINLY, MOST OF YOU WERE
EITHER LITTLE OR NOT EVEN BORN
YET WHEN ALL OF THIS HAPPENED
THE LAST TIME.
IF YOU GOT CHILDREN, CERTAINLY
NEVER SEEN THIS OCCUR UNTHAT YOU
ARE OWN LIFETIMES THEN MAYBE YOU
COULD SURE THE RESPONSE IT IS TO
BE IN THE MOMENT, YOU KNOW,
CLOSE TO THE LAUNCH WHERE THIS
IS GOING TO START AGAIN AND YOU
ARE AT IN THE OF A VERY LONG
PROCESS BUT MAYBE TELL US HOW
YOU FEEL EMOTIONALLY MU TO BE IN
THIS MOMENT?
>> RIGHT.
>> LET'S START WITH RALPH.
HE KEEPS HAVING TO GO LAST.
LET'S START WITH RALPH.
>> YOU ARE RIGHT.
THIS IS EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL
MOMENT MINE CAREER.
I HAVE LANKED SEVERAL
SPACECRAFT, THIS IS NOT THE
FIRST ONE, BUT CERTAINLY THE
MOST EXCITING ONES.
NO QUESTION HERE.
USUALLY WE HAVE A LOT OF TENSION
DURING THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS.
WITH YOU HAVE PROBLEMS TO SOLVE.
THEN FINALLY YOU MAKE IT THEN
THE MOMENT WHEN IT COMES TO THE
COUNTDOWN, THEN, TENSION STARTS.
THEN, THAT IS SAYING EVERYTHING
WORKS WELL.
WE ARE FULLY EXCITED HERE.
>> SO FOR ME, THIS IS PERSONALLY
EXCITING MOMENT FOR ME AS WELL.
I WAS BORN AND RAISED AND MY
PARENTS CAME DOWN FROM
PENNSYLVANIA TO BE A PART OF THE
APOLLO PROGRAM.
SO I AM THE APOLLO GENERATION,
YOU KNOW, TIMES ONE, X1, AND
JUST SUPE EXCITED FOR ME TO BE
HERE, AND KICK OFF THE ARTEMIS
GENERATION AND TO SEE THAT IN
ONE LIFETIME IS QUITE
INCREDIBLE.
MY FAMILY, YOU KNOW, MY HUSBAND
IS PART OF THE AEROSPACE
INDUSTRY.
MY SON IS UNIT HOW TO.
MY DAUGHTER WAS TALKING ABOUT
THE OTHER DAY.
THEY ARE ALL COMING IN TO SEE IT
LAUGH ON MONDAY AND I ASKED HER,
WISH THERE WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT THIS?
SHE IS NOT IN THE INDUSTRY BUT
CERTAINLY SEEN HER DAD AND I
WORKING IN IT FOR A LIFETIME.
AND SHE SAYS, YOU KNOW, I THINK
IT IS REALLY COOL.
SHE SAID CAN'T WAIT FOR MY
GRANDKIDS TO TELL ME, HEY,
GRANDMA, WE CAN COME OVER THIS
WEEKEND, REGOING TO VACATION ON
MARS.
DO YOU WANT TO BRING SOMETHING?
SHE IS GOING TO BRING ME A
PICTURE.
YOU KNOW, I WAS THERE ON DAY
ONE.
WE EXCITED AS A FAMILY.
WE HAVE GOT LOCKHEED MARTIN TEAM
FLYING, I DRIVING IN FROM ALL
OVER THIS COUNTRY.
YOU KNOW?
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF
FUN.
WE ARE GOING TO BE EXCITED.
WE ARE GOING TO WATCH EVERY
SINGLE DAY OF THE 42-DAY OF THE
MISSION.
AND JUST , LOOKING FORWARD TO
THAT INFORMATION COME FLOWING
IN, AND TAKE AUGUST OF THAT, AND
GO FROM THERE.
.
YOU KNOW, IT IS REALLY MIXED FOR
ME.
YOU KNOW?
I FEEL SO MUCH FOR THE TEAMS
HAVING GONE THROUGH THIS THROUGH
A SMALLER SCALE FOR SIX YEARS
TRYING TO GET BACK TO SPACE
STATION AND NOW THAT THE AM OF
TIME, THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE, THE
PEOPLE HAVE SPEND SIGNIFICANT
PARTS OF THEIR CAREER ALREADY TO
GET THE ROCK CHOATE PAD.
I AM JUST SO HAPPY FOR THEM AND
EXCITED FOR THE NATION FOR THE
GLOBE TO BE GOING BACK TO THE
MOON AND IN THE HOPEFULLY BEYOND
TO MARS IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT
FUTURE, SO IT IS A LITTLE ODD
FOR ME BEING ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF IT, NOT IN QUARANTINE AT CREW
QUARTERS GETTING READY TO GO FLY
THE ROCKET, BUT JUST HAVE
ULTIMATE CONFIDENCE IN THIS
TEAM, AND YOU KNOW, LOOK FORWARD
TO SEEING SOME OF MY FRIENDS GET
TO FLY THIS ROCKET IN THE VERY
NEAR FUTURE, SO JUST EXCITING,
AND JUST WANT TO TELL EVERYBODY,
YOU KNOW, JUST LIVE IN THE
MOMENT.
THIS IS A BIG, BIG DEAL.
TAKE IT ALL IN.
ENJOY IT IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
IT IS GOING TO BE FUN.
>> FOR ME, PERSONALLY, YOU KNOW,
A LITTLE OVER FOUR YEARS AGO IS
WHEN I JOINED THE PROGRAM.
SO I MOCHED MY FAMILY TO NEW
ORLEANS TO THE FACILITY AND, MY
FAMILY GOT TO EXPERIENCE ALL THE
CHALLENGES THEY GOT HEAR FROM ME
ABOUT ALL THE CHAL LENS THAT WE
WERE GOING THROUGH.
SO I CANNOT EVEN PUT WAS NO IT
IN HOW I FEEL.
IT IS UNBELIEVABLE.
I WILL TELL YOU, THE TEAM OUT AT
MASS, THEIR ENERGY LEVEL IS TO
THE Nth DEGREE.
I KNOW, I REMEMBER WHEN WE
ROLLED OUT ON JANUARY 8th,
2020, THE FIRST CORE STAGE GOING
TO STENNIS.
IT WAS ELECTRIFYING HP THEN WE
COMPLETED HOT FIRE, IT WAS AMPED
UP A BIT THEN WE GOT IT HERE AND
WE PASSED AGAIN UP.
NOW, IT EVERYONE IS TAKING IT IN
THE MOMENT.
YOU KNOW?
WE GOT LOTS OF TEAMMATES COMING
OUT THIS WAY TO WATCH.
YOU WE ARE MAKE SURING FOR THOSE
FOLKS THOSE TEAMMATES THATS
COULD NOT MAKE IT OUT HERE, WE
GOT A WATCH PARTY AT THE FACTORY
READY FOR THEM TO GO AND
CELEBRATE.
THE HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THEY
HAD.
YOU KNOW?
WE WENT IN THROUGH THE COVID.
NOW HE, TWO YEARS OF COVID, AND
TRYING TO GET THROUGH THAT
OBSTACLE.
ANYONE THAT KNOWS LOUISIANA, THE
PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WE HAVE
BEEN HILT WITH HURRICANE, AFTER
HURRICANE AFTER HURRICANE.
THIS TEAM NO MATTER WHAT WITH
THEIR HOMES WITH NO POWER, NO
RUNNING WATER, STILL COMING IN
TO WORK TO MAKE SURE THE MISSION
WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
SO COULDN'T BE PROUDER OF THEM
A.
THE ENERGY, YOU CANNOT EXPLAIN
IT IN WORDS.
>> YEAH.
FOR ME, I GROUP IN SOUTH
FLORIDA, SO I HAVE BEEN AROUND
LAUNCHES.
I WAS ALWAYS FIRED UP ABOUT
THAT.
THIS EXPERIENCE IS EXTREMELY
GRATIFYING, KNOW, TO KNOW YOU
ARE PART OF, FOY, THE REALLY
SOMETHING THAT HISTORICALLY
SIGNIFICANT.
DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION.
WHAT MAKES IT MORE SIGNIFICANT,
MORE MEANINGLE, FOR ME, BEING
ABLE TO SHARE KNEE, WITH MY
FAMILY.
WITH MY WIFE, AND OUR FOUR KIDS.
I THINK THERE THEY ARE EXCITE Z
AS I A.M.
THAT IS JUST GREAT TO SEE THAT,
THE EXCITEMENT.
>> SO I WAS A YOUNG BOY, LAYING
ON THE FLOOR WATCHING NEAL
ARMSTRONG AND BUZZ ALDRIN
STEPPING OUT ON THE MOON.
REMEMBER ROLLING OVER AND
TELLING MY PARENTS, THAT IS WHAT
WANT TO DO SOME DAY.
A MOTIVATED ME TO GO TO
ENGINEERING SCHOOL TO GET TWO
DEGREES TO GET NOT A THE NASA
WORLD AS QUICKLY AS I COULD
AFTER GRADUATION.
I LIKE TO SAY I WAS NOT BORN
UNHUNTSVILLE BUT I GOT THERE AS
FAST AS I COULD.
ANYWAY, IT IS, THIS IS OUR
APOLLO.
YOU KNOW, THAT IS WHAT IT IS.
>> AND I WILL SAY, ON THE
NONEMOTIONAL FRONT, OUR TEAM HAS
TO MANAGE THEIR EMOTIONS.
I WILL GET TO EMOTION IN A
SECOND BECAUSE WE HAVE THREE
CLEAR OBJECTIVES.
GET THE VEHICLE TO ORBIT.
TEST IT.
UNDERSTAND HOW IT OPERATES.
UNDERSTANDS WHERE WE NEED TO
COME HOME EARL IF SOMETHING IS
WRONG AND MAKE THAT DECISION.
WE HAVE TO GE GET IT TO ORBIT TO
TEST IT.
WE HAVE TO TEST THE HEAT SHIELD
COMING BACK.
WE HAVE TO RECOVER THE VEHICLE.
WE HAVE TO BALANCE RISKS THROUGH
THAT WHOLE MISSION.
EVERY TIME WE MAKE DECISION, WE
COMMIT TO GO TO THE MOON.
WE MADE A DECISION THAT LIMB
MILT HOUSE WE CAN COME BACK.
WE STILL HAVE OPTIONS.
WE MAY HAVE TO DECIDE DO WE NEED
COME BACK?
NEATH ALL OF THAT IS THIS
INCREDIBLE PRIDE THAT PEOPLE
HAVE AND WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.
