>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US
TODAY.
MY NAME IS LEAH MARTIN WITH NASA
COMMUNICATION, AND WE ARE JOINED
HERE AT THE NASA KENNEDY SPACE
CENTER BY STUDENTS AT THE CENTER
AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS WE
MEET WITH ARTEMIS 1 LEADERS TO
DISCUSS THE NEXT STEP FOR THE
AGENCY AND THE NEW ERA IN SPACE.
JOINING ME IS KELVIN MANNING,
THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR.
CHARLIE
LAUNCH DIRECTOR FOR THE ARTEMIS
PROGRAM.
THE MANAGER OF THE MANAGEMENT
OFFICE IN SLS.
AND MELODY LENNON, AN OFFICER
WITH THE 45th SQUADRON, THANK
YOU FOR JOINING US.
WE START WITH BRIEF COMMENTS
FROM THE PANELLISTS, AND
FOLLOWING WE HAVE STUDENTS FROM
LOCAL AND MIDDLE HIGH SCHOOLS,
WHO HAVE A CHANCE TO ASK
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE AGENCY'S
MISSION.
KELVIN, STARTING WITH YOU.
>> THANKS, LEAH, GOOD AFTERNOON,
GREAT TO SEE YOU HERE, SO MANY
FACE, THE NEW ARTEMIS GENERATION
SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS NEW
ERA IN SPACE EXPLORATION.
YOU PROBABLY LEARNED ABOUT
ARTEMIS IN SCHOOL.
THAT'S WHAT I LOOKED FORWARD TO.
10 YEARS OLD WHEN LUKE ARMSTRONG
WALK ONWARD THE MOVE.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER WAS
ESTABLISHED TO SUPPORT IS THAT
GOAL EX SENDING HUMANS TO THE
MOON AND RETURNING THEM TO
EARTH.
THAT WAS 60 YEARS AGO, WE HAVE
DONE INCREDIBLE THINGS SINCE
THEN AT THE KENNEDY SPACE
CENTER, EVERY HUMAN FLEWá[71 FR
HERE AT THE KENNEDY SPACE
CENTER.
>> THE VEHICLES THAT CARRY THESE
HUMANS THE VEHICLE YOU SAW, THE
LAUNCH VEHICLES THAT'S WHERE
THEY WERE LAUNCHED.
WE LAUNCHED DOWN THE ROAD IN THE
PAD.
YOU ARE SITTING IN AUSTRALIAN
LAUNCHPAD 39.
WHEN HUMANS GO TO THE MOON AGAIN
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 50 YEARS
WHERE WILL IT HAPPEN.
WELL, IT WILL HAPPEN RIGHT HERE.
SOME THINGS ARE THE SAME, SOME
THINGS ARE NEW.
THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO LEAVE.
THE VEHICLE ASSEMBLY BUILDING ON
THE SAME MASSIVE TRANSPORTER
CARRYING THE MOBILE LAUNCHER OUT
TO THE PAD.
AND WE'LL LAUNCH FROMÑdqCc PAD °
WHICH WE LAUNCHEDÑ
IT'S AN EXCITING TIME, IT IS
SPECIAL FOR US TO HAVE STUDENTS
AT THE SPACE CENTER.
I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR DAY HERE,
I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR
QUESTIONS.
>> THANK YOU KELVIN.
CHARLIE.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME ON
THE PANEL.
IT'S GREAT TO BE IN THE
AUDITORIUM, I'VE BEEN HERE MANY
TIMES TALKING ABOUT SPACE
SHUTTLE MISSIONS AND ATS
ARTEMIS, I CAN SAY TODAY IS BY
FIRST BRIEFING TO THE PRESS CORP
OF THE ARTEMIS GENERATION, GREAT
TO BE HERE WITH YOU.
I'LL TALK ABOUT ARTEMIS.
KELVIN TALKED ABOUT KENNEDY
SPACE CENTER AND THIS IS THE
LAUNCH POINT FOR HUGINS GOING
INTO LOWER ORBIT, SPACE
DESTINATIONS LIKE THE MOON AND
MAYBE ON TO MARS.
ARTEMIS IS NAMED FOR THE TWIN
SISTER OF APOLLO IN GREEK
MYTHOLOGY, AND IT IS A PROGRAM
ABOUT RETURNING OUR NATION AND
RETURNING HUMANITY TO THE MOON.
IT'S ABOUT RETURN ARING, AND HOW
TO USE ON THE MOON, AND HOW TO
USE PROPULSION AND OTHER THINKS
SO YOU CAN ONE DAY GO ON TO
MARS, IT'S AN EXCITING PROGRAM.
YOU ARE THE GENERATION THAT WILL
DETERMINE WHERE WE GO NEXT.
AND HOW WE GET THERE, IT'S VERY
EXCITING TO ME.
AND I CAN'T WAIT.
MAYBE ONE OF YOU ARE SITTING
HERE TO HERE ME SPAUK ABOUT THE
SPACES YOU ARE GOING TO CYST.
AND WHAT█'█ YOU ARE GOING TO DO
WITH EACH PROGRAM, IT USHERS IN
SCIENTIFIC DISCUSSION.
THERE'S TECH ALL OF THAT WILL
OPEN WITH ARTEMIS AS WELL.
IT'S ABOUT THE RETURN TO THE
MOVE I WANT TO ZERO IN ON
ARTEMIS, IT'S A SPECIAL
PROCESSING FINAL FOR US AT
KENNEDY AND THE ARTEMIS TEAM.
A LOT OF FOLKS THINK ABOUT
LAUNCH.
I WANT TO BACK UP FROM THE
LAUNCH AND TALK ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENS TO GET YOU READY FOR
LAUNCH.
THE VEHICLE ASSEMBLY BUILDING
SERVED AS AN INTEGRATION POINT
THESE ARE BY ROCKETS.
AND YOU HAVE TO TEST THEM OUT
AND GET THEM READY TO FLY.
>> THE APOLLO MISSION, THEY WERE
ASSEMBLED BE DID THE FINAL
CHECKS TO THE BOOSTERS AND THE
ASSEMBLY BUILDING.
BLIK WISE WE DID THE SAME FOR
ARTEMIS, THE HARDWARE COMES HERE
AS ELEMENTS AND INTERRING GRATED
TOGETHER.
AS PART OF THAT INTEGRATION -
WHEN I AINTEGRATION, WE PUT IT
TOGETHER MUCH SOMETIMES IT'S
BOLTING THINGS TOGETHER.
IT'S BIG HARDWARE, COMING
TOGETHER IN THE BUILDING.
WE DO AN INTERPHASE CHECK, WHICH
IS A TEST 2010 THE ELEMENTS AND
THE GROUND.
WEi
Pw WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY WORK
THE WAY THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO
TOGETHER.
AND THAT WE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH
THEM ON THE GROUND.
IN THE LAUNCH CENTER WE AN SEE
THAT THE HARD,g[vÑ WIRE IS HEAL.
WHEN THAT IS DONE YOU ROLL TOUT
THE PAD FOR LAUNCH.
>> THE ROLL OUT HAPPENED IN
MARCH.
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT'S
THAT LONG AGO.
I'LL NEVER FORGET THE DAY THAT
ARTEMIS - I HAPPY YOU HAVE SEEN
PICTURES OF IT OR MAYBE YOU SAW
IT ON TV.
FOR ME, IT WAS A SPECIAL DAY.
ALL OF OUR TESTING TO THAT POINT
WAS COMPLETE, AND WE WERE READY
FOR WET DRESS REHEARSAL.
THAT'S A BIG TEST FOR US IN
ARTEMIS, IT WAS ABOUT TANKING
THE VEHICLE WITH LIQUID HYDROGEN
AND OXYGEN, IT WAS ABOUTEN SUING
THAT WE COULD DO THAT WITH THE
GROUND SYSTEMS, IT WAS ABOUT
CHECKING OUT LAUNCH PROCEDURES,
WORK LEADING UP TO THAT.
OUR TIMEQ
Nñ NzZpLINES, IT WAS TRAINING
THE TEAM.
THERE WAS A LOT THAT WENT INTO
THAT ASSESSMENT, AND YOU CAN
ONLY PERFORM TA THEFT AT THE
PAD.
THAT WAS A LAST BIG CHEG)
CHECKOUT BEFORE LAUNCH.
WE FINISHED UP THE TESTING.
WERE PREPARED TO ROLL OUT.
I'LL NEVER FORGET AS THE VEHICLE
MADIZE WAY OUT OF THE ASSEMBLY
BUILDING, WHEN IT EMERGED, ANDu
...
THE LAUNCH DIRECTOR I GAVE THE
GO.
THE COUNT DOWN LOCK KICKED OFF
AT T-MINUS 10 MINUTES.
IT WAS AMAZINGS LEG QUIET IN THE
LAUNCH CONTROL CENTER.
YOU COULD FEEL THE FOCUS OF THE
TEAM.
THE INTENSITY OF THE MOMENT.
THEY WERE THE MOST THE CRITICAL
PAUSE OF OPERATIONS GOING ON.
>> IN THAT QUIET YOU HEARD THE
VOICE OF THE CROWN LAUNCH
OPERATOR, THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE
BEEN IN TERMINAL COUNT THROUGH
ALL OF THIS TEST.
IN THIS CON FIGURELATION.
T-MINUS 10 MINUTES AND COUNTING.
G.L. S IS GO FOR FTS ARM.
T-MINUS 5, THE COUNTDOWN CLOCK
IS MOVING.
G.L. S IS GO FOR START.
4 MINUTES AND COUNTING.
AS EACH OF THESE MILESTONES IS
TICKED OFF.
THE TEAM FOCUSES ON THE DATA,
THE VIDEO.
MONITOR FOR LAUNCH CRITERIA.
WHICH ARE OUR RULES BY WAY WE
FLY.
AND WE SIT ON THE GROUND.
WE ARE DOING THIS WITHIN THE
FINAL MINUTES.
WE DOTE TO 10 SECONDS.
AND WE ARE GO FOR CORE STAGE
ENGINE START.
SIX SECONDS, ENGINES HAVE
STARTED PERFORMING NOMINALLY,
THEN ASSIST THAT 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
BOOSTER IGNITION, AND LIFT OFF.
LIFT OFF OF THE ARTS 1.
AND ALL OF THAT STRING, AND ALL
OF THAT PREPARATION AND
EVERYTHING THAT LED TO THAT
MOMENT, OUR SUBMISSION WAS UNDER
WAY.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MISSION IT
WAS.
AS KEL TWIN SAID 25 DAYS LATER.
AFTER FLYING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY
TO THE MOON, SEEING SOME OF MY
VISITOR PACT IS THE PHOTO UP IN
THE BEGINNING SHOWING THE
O'-RYAN SPACECRAFT AND THE MOON,
AND THE EARTH IN THE DISTANCE.
AND I THINK ABOUT WHAT WILL THAT
PICTURE LOOK LIKE IN 10 YEARS.
AND IN 20 YEARS, AND WHAT WILL
BE IN THE FOREGROUND.
AND WHAT WILL BE IN THE
DISTANCE.
THAT'S YOURS TO DETERMINE.
BUT IT WILL BE SOMETHING AND IT
WILL BE AMAZING.
WE ACHIEFED FLIGHT OBJECTS TESTS
AS PART OF ARTEMIS 1.
YOU MAY ASK WHAT ARE WE DOING
NOW, WE ARE GETTING READY FOR
ARTEMIS 2.
WE ARE TAKING THE DATA FROM
ARTEMIS 1, AND THE LESSONS
LEARNT AND ARE INCORPORATING
INTO TRAINING, REST PROCEDURES
AS WE PREPARE TO PUT CREW ON
PARTS 2.
AND TO PREPARE THE SURFACE ON
ARTEMIS 3.
IT WAS SPECIAL.
AND I THING YOU FOR SHARING
THAT.
ALKIN, YOU'LL TELL US BEYOND
LAUNCH NOW THAT THE ORION IS
BACK, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE
NEXT STEPS.
>> CHARLIE TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF
TEAM WORK ON THE LAUNCHES,
PUTTING THE HARDWARE TOGETHER.
NOW WE HAVE ARTEMIS 2, AND ARTS
3.
ARTEMIS 2 WILL BE THE FIRST
PEOPLE IN SPACE GOING TO THE
MOON ON THAT VEHICLE, AND
ARTEMIS 3, WE'LL GET THE
HARDWARE HERE, IN THE NEXT
COUPLE YEARS TO GET THE BOOTS ON
THE MOON THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
COMPONENTS ARE ACROSS THE
COUNTRY, WE ARE BUILDING IT.
ARTEMIS 2 HARDWARE, SOME OF IT
IS AT KENNEDY, WE HAVE THE
BOOSTER SEGMENTS COMING DOWN, WE
HAVE THE ENGINE SECTION COMING
DOWN AT THE CORE STAGE IN THE
NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS AND
WORKING ON GETTING THE UPPER
STAGE READY HERE AS WELL.
ARTEMIS 3 HARDWARE WILL ARRIVE
IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEAR, IT'S
BUILT AT THE FACTORIES IT'S
KROOS THE COUNTY, WE HAVE PEOPLE
PUTTING THE HARDWARE TOGETHER
AND BRINGING IT ALL DOWN HERE
AND GIG IT TO CHARLIE AND HIS
TEAM TO PUT IT TOGETHER.
AND HAVE THE LAUNCH.
IT'S A LOT OF WHEELS IN MOTION.
IT'S NOW WITH THE FIRST LAUNCH
COMING OFF IT'S EXCITING TO SEE
HOW IT COMES TOGETHER.
>>.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE HEARD CHARLIE TALK ABOUT THE
WEATHER, WE HAVE A FEW
HURRICANES, AND YOU ARE
KNOWLEDGE TABLE.
YOU WORK IN WHETHER, CAN YOU
TALK ABOUT HOW WE TAKE WEATHER
CONSIDERATIONS INTO ACCOUNT WHEN
WE LOOK AT BIG AND SMALLE
LAUNCHES.
>> WEATHER IS A CORE COMPONENT
OF ANY TIME WE DO ANYTHING
OUTSIDE THE SPACE CENTER.
SO PRETTY MUCH E DURING THE
BUILDUP OF HARTS.
AND THE MONTH s PRIOR, AND
STARTING IN APRIL.
IT MAY HAVE BEEN BEFORE THEN.
CHARL I AND I WERE HAVING A
MEETING TALKING ABOUT THE
WEATHER.
HAVING A TAG OUT EVERY MORNING.
SHE PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS HAD A
FRESH FORECAST FROM US, SO SHE
KNEW HOW TO PLAN THE PARK DAY.
WHICH WAS CRITICAL WHEN YOU TAKE
THE TRANSITION FROM THE TRY TO
THE WET SEASON.
IT WAS A LOT OF WORK LEADING UP
TO LAUNCH.
IT FELT GOOD TO PEOPLE THE ROCK
PLAY ARRAY: NOW I CAN TALK ABOUT
MY ROLE.
AND WE'LL START WITH THE VIDEO
FROM APOLLO 12.
HOPEFULLY WE SA AUDIO WITH THAT.
I'LL START TALKING ABOUT IT.
OKAY.
I CAN SEE THAT IT'S STARTED.
>> TECH NIRNING, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,
0.
ALL STARTING.
>> THE PROGRAM IS IN:
CLEAR.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
FUEL SELL DIS CONNECT.
FREE.
HOUSTON, TRY TO RESET YOUR FUEL
SELLS.
>> I HAVE THE DUAL CELLS ON.
AND WE'LL O ON THE A.C. VECTORS.
>> DID EVERYONE NOTICE THE
LIGHTNING STRIKE AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO.
MY JOB IS TO MAKE SURE IT
DOESN'T HAPPEN.
IT WAS TRIGGERED AND WE'LL TALK
ABOUT THE DIFFERENTENT.
NOTHING TO THE NEXT IMAGE.
ON THE FIRST IMAGE, IF YOU SEE
IT ON THE LEFT, YOU SEE AB
UNDISTURBED FIELD.
AN UNDISTURBED ELECTRIC FIELD.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL CLEAR DAY,
ROCKETS WILL NOT LUNCH, IT'S A
NOMINAL DAY.
NOTHING IS GOING ON.
NO THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA.
AND WE ARE NOT ABOUT THAT
LAUNCH.
SECOND SLIDE IS A DISTURBED
STATE.
IF IT'S A CLEAR DAY, WE ARE
DUSHING THE STEVE STRICKER FIELD
AS THE ROCKET IS LAUNCHING OFF.
WHEN WE LAUNCH A ROCKET.
WE SEND A CHARGE TO THE SKY, AND
THE ROCKET IS CONNECTED TO THE
CLOUD FROM THE EXHAUST PUPIL.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT BEN JAM YIN
FRANKLIN.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE THIRD IMAGE
ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE.
THAT'S A TRIGGERED STATE.
IF WE SEND THE ROCKET IT THE
SIDE.
WE ARE TRIGGERING IT NOR.
A LOT OF WEATHER RULES ARE BUILT
AROUND A TRIGGERED AT NOES
VERSES AN UNTRIGGER OOED
ATMOSPHERE, WHAT IS SAFE AND
NOT.
MOVING ON TO ANOTHER IMAGE.
I'LL SHOW YOU SOME OF THE
WEATHER RULES.
THESE ARE FINE RULES APPLYING TO
ANY ROCKED LAUNCH.
ARTS HAS FOUR RULES I WAS IN
CHARGE.
MAKING SURE WE DIDN'T
VIOLATEMENT WE HAVE VARIOUS
RULES.
DEBRIS CROWD.
DETACHED CLOUD AND LIGHTNING
RULE.
THEY ARE HIGHLY COMLY INDICATED
THERE'S 17 PARTS.
ONE THING THAT IS INTERESTING
ABOUT THE DEGREE, IT'S PACKED
WITH A LOT OF MATHS AND PHYSICS.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF
PEOPLE DON'T REALISE, IT'S WHAT
IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO
ACCURATELY PREDICT THE FUTURE
WITH HOW THE WEATHER WILL GO.
SO MOVING ON.
BASICALLY, ASIDE FROM MOTION
LAUNCH CRITERIA FOR LIGHTING,
ARTEMIS HAS A WEATHER RULE.
FLIGHT THROUGH THE PRECIP
STICKS, WE DIDN'T WANT
RESTRICTIONS OF LESS THAN 50
DEGREES, AND 95 DEGREES WITH THE
ROCKET.
ALL THE RULES WE ARE CHARGED
WITH ENFORCING.
WE AS OFFICERS HAVE TO BE CLEAR
AND CONVINCED WE ARE NOT
VIOLATING ANY RULES.
IF WE SEE SOMETHING, FEEL
SOMETHING, IF WE HAVE A BAD
FEELING, WE HAVE OUR AUTHORITY
TO CALL A HALT TO THE LAUNCH,
AND NOT LET IT LAUNCH IF
SOMETHING DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT.
WE'LL MOVE TO ANOTHER IMAGE,
THIS IS THE FINAL IMAGE, IT'S OF
MY TEAM AFTER THE ROCKET LAUNCH,
SO EVEN THOUGH HIM STANDING -
SITTING HERE AS THE LAUNCH
ANOTHER.
I WORK WITH A TEAM OF
EXPERIENCED METEOROLOGIST ON
LAUNCH DAY BECAUSE IT SOMEHOW
NOT BE A RUN PERSON SITUATION.
IF THE WHETHER IS ROUGH AND
COMPLICATED, WE HAVE TO MAKE
SURE WE ARE CLEAR AND CONVINCED.
EVERY ONE OF US - THE PREVIOUS
LAUNCH ATTEMPTS - WE TOOK THE
PICTURE BEFORE WE CUPED.
WE MADE SURE WE DIDN'T TAKE THE
PICTURE INTO AFTER.
WE WERE HAPPY THAT IT WENT OFF.
I'M HOLDING THE ASTRONAUT
SNOOPY, AS MANY OF YOU KNOW.
SNOOP WHICH WAS THE GRAVITY
INDICATOR.
IT'S KIND OF THE MASS GOT MOVING
FORWARD IN THE STAYS UP TO
LAUNCH.
>> I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR
QUESTIONS.
>> THANK YOU FOR SHARING, I LOVE
THE LAST P, IT WAS A TEAM --
PICTURE.
IT WAS A TEAM EFFORT AGAINST THE
CENTER, THE AGENCY, AND
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS WHO
WORKED THROUGH THE MISSION AND
WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.
IT'S A GREAT WAY TO END YOUR
SEGMENTS THERE WE'LL TAKE
QUESTIONS FROM THE STUDENTS IN
THE ROOM.
WE'D LIKE TO THROW A -- SHOW A
VEHICLE.
HERE WE GO.
>> BURN OFF INITIATED.
7, 6, 5, CORE STAGE ENGINE
START.
3, 2, 1.
BOOSTERS AND IGNITION.
AND LIFT OFF OF ARTEMIS 1: WE
RISE TOGETHER BACK TO THE MOON
AND BEYOND.
ALL FOUR ENGINESERS TWO ROCKET
BOOSTERS PROPELLING THE VEHICLE
AT 228 MILES PER HOUR.
>> IT TAKES YOU BACK.
THE STUDENTS IN THE ROOM, WE'D
LIKE TO OPEN UP AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR YOU TO ASK A PANELLIST A
QUESTION.
IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE
MOON TO MARS PROGRAM.
WHO WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE FIRE
QUESTION.
>> WHAT IMPROVEMENTS WERE MADE
TO MAKE THE ARTS ROCKETS THE
STRONG EEVER.
>> I DIDN'T HEAR THE LAST.
>> COULD YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION
PLEASE.
>> WHAT IMPROVEMENTS WERE MADE
TO MAKE THE ARTEMIS ROCKET THE
STRONGEST EVER.
>> I'LL TAKE THAT QUESTION.
A LOT OF HARDWARE THAT WE USED
ON ARTEMIS IS BASED OFF APOLLO
AND SHADOW.
WITH THIS PROGRAM WE ADDED THE
BOOSTER.
SIMILAR.
WE ADDED A SEGMENT.
TAKING US TO DEEP SPACE.
THE ENGINES WERE PROVEN ENGINES,
THEY HAVE BEEN TESTED TO RELEASE
THE DEEP SPACE CAPABILITY.
>> AND AN EXTRA ENGINE TO BOOT.
>> THE NEXT QUESTION.
>> FOR THOSE JOINING US ONLINE.
IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE
PANELLIST, YOU CAN DIAL STAR 1
TO GET INTO THE CREW.
>> I'M DAVID RODRIGUES, GRADE
12.
WHAT PART WILL THE PRIORITISED
SPACE INDUSTRY PLAY IN THE
FUTURE OF SPACE EXPLORATION.
>> THE WAS WHAT ROLE WILL THE
PRITIZED INDUSTRY PLAY.
NASA IS A PARTNER.
WE UTILIZE THEM TO HELP WITH THE
CREW PROGRAM.
AND AS WE GO BEYOND LOW EARTH AN
ORBIT.
SPACEX WE CARRYION FOR ARTEMIS
3, FOR THE LANDER, TO TAKE TO
THE LUNAR SERVICE.
WE RELY ON COMMERCIAL AND
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS, IT'S A
HUGE DEAL SO GO BACK TO THE MOON
AND MARS.
IT WILL TAKE A BIG EFFORT.
NEXT QUESTION IF YOU WOULDN'T
MIND SAYING YOUR NAME.
>> I'M MADISON WHITE.
WHAT TYPE OF TECHNOLOGIES IS
NASA DEVELOPING FOR THE FIRST
LUNAR BASE.
>> WHAT KIND OF TECHNOLOGY IS
NASA DEVELOPING FOR THE FIRST
LEANAR BASE.
ONE IS WE LAND - LIVE OFF THE
SERVINGS THE LAND.
I.S. RU FOR IN SITU RESOURCE
UTILIZATION, AND WHAT THAT IS
IT'S LIVING OFF THE LAN.
WEE TRIAL TO MINE THE LUNAR
ROCKS TO CREATE WATER.
AND ONE OF THE COMPONENTS IS
HYDROGEN THAT'S SOMETHING AMONG
OTHER THINGS.
>> I THINK YOU COVERED THE PIECE
OF THE LUNAR SERVICE.
I WOULD OFFER AS YOU CONTINUE TO
EXPLORE AND EVOLVE THE VEHICLES,
AND SPACECRAFT.
TECHNOLOGY PLAYED A TREMENDOUS
PART IN THAT.
IF YOU LOOK AT WHERE WE WERE
WITH APOLLO.
AND HOW TECHNOLOGY WAS INVOLVED
WITH THAT, WITH FLYING THE
MISSILE.
THE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM.
THE DATA WE GET BACK.
AS YOU CONTINUE TO GO BEYOND
YOUR PLANET TO OR DESTINATIONS
WE'LL SEE EVOLUTION IN THOSE
THINGS WELL.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> WELL TAKE A QUESTION HERE.
AND THEN THE NEXT QUESTION HERE.
JUST TO LINE YOU GUYS UP.
>> I'M BRENDAN JOHNSON, I'M A
JUNIOR AT HIGH SCHOOL.
SOME QUICK, I LOVE HOW
PASSIONATE YOU GUYS ARE WITH THE
JOB, SEEING THE PASSION IN YOUR
VOICE AND EYES IS AMAZING, BASED
ON YOUR FINDINGS FROM THE
ARTEMIS 1 MISSION, AND THE
INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS FORESEE BEING
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE WHEN IT
COMES TO ARTEMIS 2 AND POSSIBLY
ARTEMIS 3.
.
>> I THINK - WE LEARN FROM THE
THE ARTEMIS 1, THE VEHICLE
PERFORMED AS EXPECTED.
IT WAS GREAT.
AMAZE OF COURSE, PRETTY MUCH ON
TARGET.
WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF LEARNING
ABOUT HOW ORION DID IN SPACE.
IT'S DOWN SOUTH IN KENNEDY.
WE ARE TAKING IT APART.
THAT'S MORE ENVIRONMENT COMING
THROUGH.
A LOT OF INFORMATION IS GETTING
THE INFORMATION BACK, WE TESTED
IT HARD TO MAKE SURE IT MET THE
REQUIREMENTS AND IT WILL MEET
THE REQUIREMENT OF PUTTING
PEOPLE INTO IT.
THAT'S THE KEY TO GETTING THE
DATA AND MAKING SURE WE WERE
READY TO GO FOR THE NEXT LAUNCH.
>> I WOULD AT THAT THE ARTEMIS
ARCHITECTURE IS THAT YOU - WITH
ARTEMIS 1, THAT WAS A TEST
FLIGHT.
SO YOU WANTED TO TEST OUT THE
CAPABILITIES OF THE ROCKET.
YOU WANTED TO TEST THE
CAPABILITIES OF ORION.
YOU WANTED TO TEST OUT THE
CAPABILITIES OF YOUR GROUND
SYSTEM.
LOOKING ACROSS ALL OF YOUR
MISSION PORTFOLIO, IF YOU WILL,
AND MAKE SURE AS WE ARE LOOKING
AT ALL THE THINGS THAT IT TAKES
TO GO BACK TO THE MOON AND PUT
CREW ON THE NEXT FLIGHT THAT
EVERYTHING WORKED AS YOU
SPECTED.
AND IF IT DIDN'T WHAT ARE THE
THINGS WE NEED TO CHANGE.
>> WE WERE TALKING TO THE TEST
DIRECTOR.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT REFINING
THE LAUNCH COUNTDOWN.
SOME.
THINGS WE LEARNT.
THEY ARE NOT BIG CHANGES, IT'S -
YOU WANT TO BUILD ON WHAT YOU
KNOW WORKS.
AND IF THERE'S THINGS THAT YOU
CAN DO BETTER, IF THERE ARE
PROCEDURES THAT YOU CAN REFINE,
TIME LINES THAT COULD BE BETTER.
SOFTWARE CHANGES IN THE WAY
THAT - THIS IS THE FIRST LAUNCH:
IF WE ARE LOOKING AT THE SCREEN
IN FRONT OF US.
SOME WERE SMALL.
WE'LL RI ARRANGE THIS.
IT MAKES SENSE TO NOW THAT WE'VE
BEEN IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
MAYBE THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU
DEVELOP SOMETHING OR UTILIZE THE
PIECE OF SOFTWARE, YOU THINK NOW
IT WILL BE BETTER IF I CAN
CHANGE THIS.
WE ARE DOING ALL LEVELS OF
LESSONS LAFFERENT -- LEARN, IT'S
DID WE MEET THE OBJECTIVES, YES,
AND THE BIG THING IF WE PUT CREW
ON THE NEXT, LIKE HAVING CREW
WHICH IS DIFFERENT TO ARTEMIS 1.
AND THERE'LL BE THINGS TO LEARN
THERE - PUTTING THE LAUNCH
COUNTDOWN HAT ON.
WITH REGARD TO STRAPPING IN THE
CREW.
DOING THE COMM CHECKS, MAKING
SURE EVERYTHING IN THE CREW
MODULE IS CLOSED OUT AND READY
TO FLY.
WHAT DO THE TIME LINES LOOK
LIKE.
THERE'S A LAUNCH WINDOW OPENING
AT A CERTAIN TYPE OF YOU ARE
TRYING TO GET THAT WORK DONE.
THERE'LL BE CHANGES ACROSS THE
PEST PORTFOLIO.
AND INTO LAUNCH.
THAT WILL BE INCORPORATING SO
THAT WILL BE A BIG CHANGE.
BUT WE'LL DO THE THINGS AHEAD OF
TIME TESTING THEM OUT.
>> FOR THOSE JOINING US, YOU CAN
DIAL STAR ONE.
THE NEXT QUESTION IS COMING FROM
OVER HERE.
>> HIGH, MIME NAME IS ORES, I'M
A JUNIOR.
MY KEVIN IS BESIDE BEING AN
ASTRONAUT.
WHAT IS THE MOST ENGAGING JOB.
MORE SPECIFICALLY ARTEMIS.
I CAN TAKE THAT.
LET ME START I'M A KIND OF NOT
KIDDING.
AS YOU TALK TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
THEY'LL TELL YOU I HAVE AN
AMAZING JOB.
TALKING TO MELANIES, WE TALK
ABOUT THE WLVERA HEAD OF LAUNCH.
IT'S A TEAM:
YOU CAN HEAR THE PASSION AND
WHITE.
.
TLSH ALL KIND OF JOBS ACROSS THE
TEAM THAT ARE DARK, IF YOU ASK
TEACH OF THOSE, YES SOMEONE THAT
SITS IN THE LAUNCH STROLL CENTER
U IT'S THE GREATEST JOB IN THE
WORLD.
I THINK I HAVE THE INCREDIBLE
JOB.
IT'S ABOUT THEIR COMMIT.
AND HOW THEY DRIVE TORE
EXCELLENCE.
>> IT'S A GOOD PARD OF THE JOB
OF THE I LOVE MY JOB.
>> NEXT QUESTION WE'LL GO THE
FINE LONE.
MY QUESTION IS ALL AGES TO THE
MOON AND BACK: THAT'S GOOD
QUESTION: THAT'S A GOOD
QUESTION.
IT'S THE GOAL TO NOT JUST SEN
ADULTS TO DISTANT PLANETS, TO GO
AND STAY.
AND TO MAKE IT SUSTAINABLE.
WE'LL NEAT FAMILIES THERE: I
CAN'T ANSWER THAT, THAT'S
DEFINITELY A GOAL.
WHEN ON THE MOON WILL BE ABLE
TO FLY PEOPLE AROUND.
>> IT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
>> THAT'S ANOTHER GREAT
QUESTION: WE LANDED CURIOSITY,
ROF E-ROVER.
INGENUITY HELICOPTER.
AIRCRAFT.
PLANE TO PLANET, ANOTHER BODY,
BESIDES THE EARTH.
TRYING TO EXPLORE THE DIFFERENT
SYSTEMS, FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES.
DIFFERENT MODES OF
TRANSPORTATION.
I AM SURE SMART PEOPLE ARE
WORKING ON THAT.
YOU GUYS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY.
>> THAT THANK YOU, WE'LL TAKE
ANOTHER QUESTION INTEREST HERE
IN THE ROOM.
AT THIS END.
>> MY SURNAME IS RONNY, AND MY
QUESTION IS WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
FIRST INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
PLANNED TO TAKE PLACE ON A LUNAR
SURFACE SURFACE.
>> STRUCTURE PROJECT.
>> EVERYONE LOOKS AT ME.
>> YOU HAVE THE BEST JOB IN THE
WORLD, THAT'S WHY.
>> HERE ON EARTH.
WELL, WE ARE PLANNING, OKAY, IF
I SAY WE WANT TO GO TO THE MOON
TO STAY.
OF COURSE WE ARE GOING TO NEED
HABITATS, RIGHT.
HABITATS TO KEEP PEOPLE ALIVE.
AND WHAT ARE THOSE STRUCTURES
GOING TO BE MADE OF.
THEY ARE THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE
DIFFERENT COMMERCIAL COMPANIES
WORKING ON TODAY.
DIFFERENT LANDERS AND HAPP
TATTS:
ROCKETS.
AND EVERYTHING THAT IT TAKES TO
LAUNCH ONE OF THESE ROCKETS.
WOULDN'T THAT SAME GROUND
INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE MOON OR
MORSE OR WHEREVER WE GO.
SO THERE ARE FOLKS WORKING ON,
FOR EXAMPLE, LANDING PADS.
SO WHEN YOU LAND ON THE MOON,
YOU SEE THE DUST, THE LUNAR
REGULAR SHOOT OFF INTO THE
DISTANCE.
THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DAMAGE
SOME OF YOUR SUPPORTING
INFRASTRUCTURE.
SO WHAT ABOUT A LANDING PAD MADE
UP OF BRICKS FROM THE LUNAR
SURFACE.
FOLKS ARE LOOKING INTO ALL
DIFFERENT KIND OF THINGS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> HOPEFULLY THAT IS HELPFUL.
>> NEXT ON THE LINE.
WE HAVE BREWER COMMUNITY SCHOOL
WITH A QUESTION.
>> QUESTION FROM KATY MILLER,
YOUR LINE IS OPEN.
>> HI, I'M JEREMIAH, AN EIGHTH
GRADER FROM BREWER SCHOOL IN
MAINE.
HOW DO YOU USE MATHS AND SCIENCE
IN YOUR WORK ON THE ARTEMIS
MISSION.
>> ALL OF YOUR GUYS SUES SOME
TYPE OF STEM.
>> FROM MY PERSPECTIVE.
WE CAME FROM A DIFFERENT FIELD
HERE AS FAR AS ENGINEERING.
BUT MATHS, WE USE IS ALL OVER
THE PLACE ON THE VEHICLE.
YOU CRUNCH THE DATA, AND HOW
THAT RELATES TO ORBITAL
MECHANICS AND TRAJECTORIES, THAT
YOU LOOK AT.
AND THE VEHICLE ON THE GROUND.
WE LOOK AT THE VEHICLE, HOW IT
MATTERS, WHEN YOU PUT THE PIECES
TOGETHER.
IT RELATES TO WHEN YOU G
SOMETHING, YOU ADD MATH DESIGN
INTO IT, AS FAR AS HOW THAT
COMES TOGETHER.
ALL THE PIECES.
>> NOW I WOULD SAY THAT MATHS
AND SIGNS ARE IMPORTANT IN THE
WORK THAT WE DO, A LOT OF FOLKS
THAT ARE IN, MANY OF OUR
TEAM-MATES IN THE LAUNCH CONTROL
CENTER AND PART OF THE
PROCESSING TEAM.
PUTTING THE VEHICLE TOGETHER.
TESTING IT OUT COME FROM AN
ENGINEERING BACKGROUNDFUL NOT
ALL OF THEM.
SOMETIMES I GET ASKED.
YOU KNOW.
WHAT IS THE ONE APPARENT
ENGINEERING FIELD.
AND THE ANSWER IS ALL OF THEM.
THERE'S TICKAL ENGINEERS, AND
THE REASON THAT ENGINEERING IS
PREVALENT IN THE TEAM, THAT'S A
LOT IN THE VEHICLES GIVES YOU A
GOOD SKILL SET: THE PIECES, HOW
THEY FIT TOGETHER.
WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER A PROBLEM.
HOW DO YOU FIX IT.
YOU LEARN A LOT OF THAT AS FAR
AS BEING AN ENGINEER.
MATH AND SCIENCE IS IMPORTANT.
IT TOUCHES EVERYTHING THAT WE
DO.
NOT 100%.
THERE ARE AREAS THAT ARE A
LITTLE MORE CREATIVE OF NATURE.
AND I KNOW WE HAD TALKED ABOUT
COMMUNICATION, MATH ARE AND
SCIENCE IS A BIG PART OF WHAT WE
DO.
>> I JUST WAS TO MENTION MATHS
I'M SCIENCE AND PHYSICS ARE PART
OF THE KEY.
DEVELOPED A LONG TIME AGO, IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR US TO GET A
CLINCHES IN HOW THE WEATHER WILL
CHANGE.
SO I CAN GAVE CHARLIE AN IDEA
WHETHER HURRICANE IAN OR NICOLE
WITH TARGET US.
AS I SAID IN MY BRIEF.
METEOROLOGY, A LOT OF PEOPLE
DON'T REALISE THAT IT IS LARGELY
BUILT ON A MATHEMATICAL FIELD.
EVERY PART OF THIS TEAM RELIES
ON MATHS AND SCIENCE TO MAKE
SURE ARTEMIS IS SUCCESSFUL.
MEANWHILE ERT OTHER MISSIONS AS
WELL.
EVERYTHING THAT WE DO.
>> NASA CONNECTS OPPORTUNITY
ENGAGEMENT.
WE'LL TAKE THE QUESTION NOW.
WE'LL TAKE THAT.
[ INAUDIBLE ]
>> MY NAME IS JONATHAN.
I'M A FRESHMAN.
AND IN PHYSICS.
WE LEARNT THAT OBJECT AND
MOTIONS STAY IN MOTION.
HOW DID THE ORION SPACECRAFT GET
INTO ORBIT AND NOT KEEP GOING
INTO SPACE.
>> ACTUALLY.
THIS IS THE HARDEST PART OF OUR
MISSION, IS DRAVERSING THE
GETTING OUT OF THE ATMOSPHERE.
AND WHEN YOU GO YOU GO PAST.
WHEN YOU GET THE MOON YOU SLOW
DOWN, YOU GET THE VEHICLE CLOSE,
YOU JUMP INTO ORBIT.
AND THAT'S HOW WE TALKED ABOUT
GETTING INTO THE LUNAR ORBIT.
USING THE VEHICLE TRAJECTORY TO
SLOW IT DOWN.
PREVIOUS SLIDE HAS AN ORBITAL
ANALYSIS, USING THE BODIES OF
THE EARTH AND THE MOON, AND THE
BURNS WHEN YOU DO THRUST OR
FIRINGS TO KEEP IN ORBIT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> WE'LL TAKE ONE MORE CALL FROM
THE LINE, WE HAVE SHELTER ISLAND
COMMUNITY SCHOOL.
.
>> MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS DOWN
TO MAKE SURE THE ROCKET IS SAFE
FOR HUMANS TO TRAVEL IN.
>> CAN YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION,
PLEASE.
I THINK THE QUESTION THAT I
HEARD WAS HOW DO WE IN...
>> I CAN ANSWER THAT AND LET
OTHERS JUMP.
PART OF HOW WE KNOW THE VEHICLES
IS SAFE FOR HUGS SO TRAVEL IS
THE INCREMENTAL TEST PROJECT.
ARTEMIS 1 WAS ABOUT TESTING OUT
ORION, FLYING AROUND THE MOON,
MAKING SURE THAT AT THE
INCREASED VELOCITIES, COMING
BACK FROM DEEP SPACE THAT THE
HEAT SHIELD PERFORMS AND WOULD
PROTECT THE CREW THE WAY THAT IT
IS SUPPOSED TO.
AND SO IT IS - THE TEST
OBJECTIVES WERE LAID OUT FOR THE
MISSION TO ENSURE WE HAVE THE
SAME KABILITYIZE NAILED DOWN
BEFORE WE WERE READY FOR ARTEMIS
2.
THEN WE HAVE A SET OF TESTS ON
THE GROUND TESTING THE
FUNCTIONALITY OUT OF THE ORION
SPACECRAFT.
AND THE SYSTEMS ADDED TO IT TO
SUPPORT THE CREW.
THERE'LL BE A SUITE OF GROUND
TESTS LOOKING AT THE SYSTEMS
THAT SUSTAIN THE CREW.
THAT SUPPORT THE CREW.
AND ENSURING THAT WE ARE READY
TO FLY A CREW ON ARTEMIS 2.
>> THANK YOU.
I THINK WE HAVE TIME FOR ONE
MORE QUESTION FROM HERE IN THE
ROOM.
WE'LL DO TWO.
WE'LL DO YOU, AND A FOLLOW UP.
THE FINE QUESTION.
DA. OKAY.
>> I'M COLE.
I'M AN EIGHTH GRADER, AND MY
QUESTION IS HOW WOULD YOU SAY
WIND SPEED AFFECTS A LAUNCH?
>> SO WIND SPEED - ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT THE SURFACE, OR
UPPER ATMOSPHERE OR ALL OF THE
ABOVE.
>> ALL OF ABOVE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
I CAN TELL YOU, AT THE SURFACE,
ARTEMIS SPECIFICALLY HAD SOME
WIND CONSTRAINTS.
I CAN'T SPEAK TO WHY.
IT'S AN ENGINEERING QUESTION.
I KNOW THERE ARE WIND
CONSTRAINTS BETWEEN 30-40 KNOTS
AT THE SURFACE.
AND IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE
ATMOSPHERE, GENERALLY SPEAKING,
AS WE CLIMB IN HEIGHT.
WE TEND TO HAVE HIGHER WIND
SPEEDS.
IT DEPENDS ON WHERE EXACTLY THE
JET STREAM IS.
IN THE SUMMER, OR IN THE
WARMER MONTHS.
THE JET STREAM TENDS TO BE
LOCATED FAR, FAR NORTH OF US,
IT'S NOT REALLY A CONCERN.
WHEN WE GET INTO THE WINTER
MONTHS OR DRY SEASON.
WE HAVE THE JET STREAM CLOSER TO
THE STATE OF FLORIDA, WHICH IS
WHY WE TEND TO HAVE COOLER
WEATHER.
SOMETIMES THAT JET STREAM CAN
PRODUCE 100 KNOTS OR SO ALOFT.
MEANING IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF
THE ATMOSPHERE, AND FROM AN
ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE.
THAT CAN BE A CHALLENGE TO THE
TEAM.
I AM NOT THE ENGINEER, I CAN'T
EXPLAIN WHY, I KNOW THAT TIMES
THAT'S TROUBLESOME.
BUT I THINK IT MIGHT DEPEND ON
THE STRENGTH OF THE ROCKET.
AND ARTEMIS IS ONE OF STRONGEST,
OR IS THE STRONGEST ROCKET.
I'LL GUESS I'LL PASS IT OFF TO
SEE IF CHARLIE HAS ANYTHING TO
AD.
>> SO PART OF THE DATA, A LOT OF
TIMES YOU THINK ABOUT LAUNCH DAY
AND THE CRITERIA, AND UT THINK
ABOUT THE DATA FROM THE SCREEN
COMING FROM THE VEHICLE.
THAT'S A BIG PART OF IT.
THERE'S ALSO A PART OF IT THAT
IS LOOKING AT THE TEMPERATURES,
AS MELODY SAID, LOOKING AT THE
WIND.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT.
COUPLE OF REASONS.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE MOBILE
LAUNCHER, AND YOU HAVE SWING
ARMS ATTACHED TO THE CREEK
PROVIDING CRITICAL SERVICES AND
AT T 0 THEY MOVE AWAY FROM THE
VEHICLE, SWING BACK, PART OF THE
NAME, SWING ARMS.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE WHEN YOU
HAVE, THE WINDS IN PLAY DOESN'T
IMPEDE THE MOVING OF THE ARMS.
THESE ARE VERY LARGE ARMS.
THEY WEIGH 1,000 POUNDS.
AS THEY ARE MOVING.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE
NOT SLOWED UP BY THE WIND AND
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THE WIND
IN EFFECT ON THE VEHICLES
DOESN'T CAUSE IT TO DRIFT INTO
THE TOWER.
THAT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC.
AND AS THE WEEK IS IN ITS ACCENT
PHASE, THE WIND IS A FORCE, AND
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THE FORCE
ON THE VEHICLE THAT IT DOESN'T
PULL ANYTHING - PUT AN INCREASED
LOAD ON THE VEHICLE THAT IS
BEYOND WHAT IT COULD SUSTAIN.
GIVEN THE TUSH OW LENT
ENVIRONMENT OF THE LAUNCH.
IT'S AWFUL THOSE THINGS AND A
FEW MORE THAT I LEFT OFF.
DID I SAY IT RIGHT.
>> THIS IS ONE OF THE LARGEST
VEHICLES, IT IS ONE OF THE
LARGEST VEHICLE, AND THE KEY
PART IS YOU HAVE A LOT OF
INTERFACE FROM THE VEHICLE.
WE WORRY ABOUT WHEN IT GOES UP
INTO THE AIR THAT THE WIND DON'T
AFFECT THE INTERPHASES YOU WANT
TO MAKE SURE IT STEMS FROM THAT.
>> THANK YOU, AND THE FINAL
QUESTION WERE IN THE ROOM.
>> I'M FROM MADELINE, MY
QUESTION IS DID ORION NAME NEW
DESERVES WHEN IT REACHED THE
MOON'S ORBIT.
>> IT TACK AMAZING PICTURES.
>> AS FAR AS DISCOVERY.
IT WAS A TEST FLIGHT TO TEST THE
LIMITS.
WE REALLY PUSHED THE LIMITS.
AGAIN.
ALL IN MIND TO PREPARE IT TO FLY
HUMANS.
SO ULTIMATELY, WHAT DO WE WANT
TO DO WITH ORION.
THAT'S THE DEEP SPACE
EXPLORATION VEHICLE.
SO LITTLE STEPS AT A TIME BEFORE
WE GET THERE.
SPECIFICALLY, WE DISCOVERED A
NEW PLANET OR SOMETHING LIKE
THAT.
NO, NOTHING LIKE THAT, IT WAS A
TEST FLIGHT AND IT WAS
SUCCESSFUL.
>> WE HAD PAYLOADS ON BOARD.
I IMAGINE WE'LL HAVE DISCOVERIES
FROM THEM.
PART OF THOSE WERE TO LOOK AT
THE EXPECTS OF THE HUMAN BODY,
WHEN EXPOSED AND THE ONES CHOSEN
WERE RESEARCH ON FEMALES AND
WOMEN ASTRONAUTS.
IT'S ALL ASSESSED.
I THINK THERE ARE THINGS TO COME
ON WHAT THE MISSION TELLS US,
AND HOW WE'LL FLY IN THE FUTURE.
>> MAIN DISCOVERIES TO COX.
AND ON THAT NOTE I'D LIKE TO
TAKE THE FINAL QUESTION AND ASK
EACH OF YOU AS PEOPLE THAT WORK
IN STEM AND PASSIONATE ABOUT THE
WORK IN NASA.
IF YOU HAVE A WORD OF ADVICE OR
ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD SAY TO
YOUNG STUDENTS.
TO THE ARTEMIS GENERATION,
STUDENT THAT WILL CAR AWAY US
BEYOND THIS ARTEMIS PROGRAM AND.
>> SPACE, WHAT WOULD YOU TELL
THEM AS THEY CONDITION TARE
EDUCATION CAREER.
WE'LL GO DOWN THE LINE BECAUSE
NO ONE IS GETTING OUT OF THE
ANSWERING THIS 2007.
>> I'LL START OFF.
WE ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT
MATHS AND SCIENCE.
MATHS IS REQUIRED IN JUST ABOUT
EVERYTHING THAT WE DO.
AND SOME OF YOU MIGHT SIT WILL
IT GO I DON'T LIKE MATHS, I AM
NOT GOOD AT MATHS.
THERE ARE SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES,
SO MANY PEOPLE TO HELP YOU.
THE SPACE PROGRAM IS SOMETHING
THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN.
KEEP WORKING, WORKING HARD.
AGAIN, THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST
EXCITING TIME IN THE HISTORY OF
SPACE FLIGHT.
YOU SEE THE LAUNCHES GOING ON
HERE.
SOMEONE SAID IT'S TOO HARD.
THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE THERE THAT
WILL HELP YOU BETUCKESFUL.
LIKE OUR OLD BOSS USED TO SAY,
KEEP THE CHARGING.
>> MY ADVICE WOULD BE, YOU KNOW,
MANY OF YOU MAY KNOW WHAT YOU
WANT TO DO WHEN YOU GROW UP.
YOU MAY HAVE THE PLAN, AND I
LOVE TALKING TO STUDENTS AND
SHARING, AND A LOT OF TIMES I
HEAR I KNOW I WANT TO DO THIS.
FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT THAT IS
TRUE FOR, THAT IS GREAT.
THAT WASN'T ME.
I WASN'T THAT STUDENT IN HIGH
SCHOOL.
I DIDN'T KNOW I WANTED TO BE AN
ENGINEER, AND I NEVER SAW MYSELF
HERE AT THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER
AND BEING A PART OF THE AMAZING
WORK THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO TOLL
DO A SMALL PART OF.
ONE THING THAT I DID KNOW WHEN I
WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
IS THAT I LIKED MATHS.
I WAS GOOD AT MATH, AND I HAD TO
TEACHER THAT ENCOURAGED ME
BECAUSE I LIKE MATHS, TO THINK
ABOUT GOING INTO ENGINEERING.
AT THE TIME I ASKED.
WHAT WOULD I DO, WHAT WOULD I DO
WITH THAT DEGREE.
AND HIS WORDS BACK TO ME WERE
WELL, WHAT COULDN'T YOU DO WITH
THAT DEGREE.
NOW, TO BE HONEST.
IT WASN'T TERRIBLY HELPFUL AT
THE MOMENT, BUT IT TURNED OUT TO
BE REALLY TRUE, AND SO IF YOU IF
YOU DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU
WANT TO DO, I WOULD SAY THINK
ABOUT THAT THING THAT BRINGS YOU
JOY, THAT BRINGS YOU HAPPINESS,
THAT YOU ARE GOOD AT.
THAT YOU ENJOY DOING IN SCHOOL.
ANDIC YOU WERE TALKING IN THE
BEGINNING, FIGURE OUT THE PATH.
YOU MAY NOT HAVE THAT BLUE FRINT
IN FRONT OF YOU.
I KNOW I DID NOT.
AND THE OTHER THING I WOULD SAY,
WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE, AND
THINKING ABOUT SPACE
EXPLORATION.
I NEVER IMAGINED THAT I WOULD BE
HERE.
DOING WHAT I DO.
AND IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLE
JOURNEY, I BELIEVE IF YOU CAN
DREAM IT AND YOU ARE WILLING TO
PUT A PLAN TO IT.
AND YOU CAN DO IT.
SO DON'T FORGET THAT.
>> IT'S HARD TO FOLLOW.
THAT ONE, AS FAR AS DREAMS.
>> WHEN I KNEW I WAS FIVE YEARS
OLD WHEN I SAW ONE OF THE FIRST
SHUTTLE LAUNCHES, I KNEW I
WANTED TO BE IN SPACE, AND
KNOWING WHAT YOU LOVE.
YOU DREAM OF, IT DRIVES YOU TO
WANT TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL AND
WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET THERE.
PART OF THAT GOAL FOR ME WAS
WANTING TO LEARN MATHS AND
SCIENCE, KNOWING HOW THAT WORKED
AND COMING INTO THE SPACE
PROGRAM.
WHAT PATH IT WOULD TAKE.
AND KNOWING, WORKING WITH ALL
THE PEOPLE.
THERE'S MANY ASKS.
TO GET THAT TO ACHIEVE.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING
STOPPING YOU.
LIMITATIONS ARE ON YOU, YOU CAN
PUSH YOU YOURSELF TO MAKE WHAT
YOU WANT TOO MUCH YOURSELF.
>> ALL RIGHT.
I WAS PREPARED FOR THIS
QUESTION.
SO I HAVE TWO POINTS TO MAKE
HERE.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT PERFECTION.
I THINK TA WHEN WE ARE YOUNG,
AND WE MAYBE ARE READY THOUGHT
WE HAD FIGURE OUT WHAT WE WANT
TO DO.
WE THINK WE NEED TO BE PERFECT
ALL THE TIME.
I HEARD A PHRASE A LITTLE WHILE
AGO, I KIND OF CARRY IT IN MY
POCKET..
PERSFECTION IS A 200 POUND
SHIELD WE CARRY WHICH IS U IT
WOULD BE EASIER TO SET IT DOWN.
IT'S - YOU DON'T NEED IS TO BE
PERFECT.
THINGS CHANGE, YOU CAN CHANGE
YOUR MIND, THE PLAN.
THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO PIVOT
IF YOU NEED TO PIVOT.
OKAY.
I WAS - I THINK, AROUND 13 WHEN
I KNEW I WANTED TO BE A
METEOROLOGIST.
EVERY TIME THERE WAS A HURRICANE
COMING I KNEW ALL ABOUT IT.
AND I ALWAYS KNEW I WAS GOOD AT
MATHS AND SCIENCE.
BUT I THINK SOMETIMES WE PASS
ALONG SOME ANXIETY ABOUT MATHS,
AND SCIENCE, SPECIFICALLY MATHS,
PARTICULARLY IF YOU ARE A YOUNG
WOMAN, THAT IS KIND OF SOMETHING
THAT SOCIETY PASSES DOWN TO US,
A FEAR OF MATHS.
SO I WANT TO HONE IN ON TO
EVERYONE THAT MATHS IS AN
INTERESTING SUBJECT.
BECAUSE IT'S NOT STRAIGHT
MEMORIZATION LIKE MOST OF THE
OTHER SUBJECTS ARE.
MATHS IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO
PRACTICE.
IT'S JUST LIKE A SPORT.
IT'S JUST LIKE AN INSTRUMENT.
OKAY.
YOU DON NEED TO BE PERFECT WHEN
YOU FIRST START.
YOU NEED TO PRACTICE, AND YOU
GET BETTER AT IT.
IT'S AN AMAZING FIELD.
IT OPENS THE DOOR TO EVERYTHING.
I KNEW I WANTED TO BE A
METEOROLOGIST I NEVER KNEW I
WOULD BE WORKING IN THE SPACE
PROGRAM.
I CONTINUED WITH MY PASSION,
GETTING THROUGH THE FEAR OF
MATHS, THE PERFECTION ASPECT IS
SOMETHING THAT I STRUGGLE WITH.
I'LL BE HONEST.
WORKING ASSAL METEOROLOGIST,
WHERE I HAVE TO GIVE
PROBABILITIES AS TO WHETHER IT
WILL RAIN OR NOT OR LOOK AT
THUNDERSTORM OR NOT.
IT'S A GOOD SPEES TO JUST
CONTINUE TO REMEMBER.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE PERFECT.
