00:00:44,544 --> 00:00:46,179
ACTUALLY, WE SAW EACH OTHER A

20
00:00:46,246 --> 00:00:47,180
COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.

21
00:00:47,247 --> 00:00:48,782
STILL REMEMBER THE TOUR YOU GAVE

22
00:00:48,848 --> 00:00:50,083
ME FOR THE SPACE STATION.

23
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:50,884
WAS IMPRESSIVE.

00:00:52,051 --> 00:00:53,987
NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

26
00:00:54,053 --> 00:00:56,589
I AM CALLING IN THE MIDST OF ALL

27
00:00:56,656 --> 00:00:58,792

00:01:08,268 --> 00:01:11,104
STATION IN 2015 SO THIS IS THE

35
00:01:11,171 --> 00:01:12,005
SECOND TRIP.

36
00:01:12,071 --> 00:01:14,407
YOU ARE NOW THE COMMANDER OF THE

37
00:01:14,474 --> 00:01:15,942
SPACE STATION, WHICH IS A BIG

38
00:01:16,009 --> 00:01:18,144
HONOR FOR YOU AS PERSON, AS AN

39
00:01:18,211 --> 00:01:19,145
ASTRONAUT.

00:01:19,212 --> 00:01:20,647
I ALSO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF

41
00:01:20,713 --> 00:01:22,749
PRIDE FOR ESA FOR YOU ALL, BUT

42
00:01:22,816 --> 00:01:25,051

ASTRONAUT, HONOR OF BEING THE

44
00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:28,855
COMMANDER OF THE SPACE STATION.

45
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:31,758
SO ANDY, HOW DO YOU FULFILL THIS

46
00:01:31,825 --> 00:01:45,171
IMPORTANT ROLE OF ISS COMMANDER?

47
00:01:45,238 --> 00:01:46,573
>> AM EQUALLY PROUD OF THE

48
00:01:46,639 --> 00:01:47,474
GROWING ROLE AND THE

49
00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:48,975
RESPONSIBILITY THAT EUROPE AND

50
00:01:49,042 --> 00:01:51,277
ESA ARE PLAYING IN SPACE, NOT

51
00:01:51,344 --> 00:01:53,880
JUST ASTRONAUTS SERVING AS

52
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:55,582
COMMANDERS ONBOARD THE SPACE

53
00:01:55,648 --> 00:01:57,684
STATION, BUT, ALSO, UPCOMING

54
00:01:57,750 --> 00:01:59,586
MISSIONS LIKE ARTEMIS, WHERE,

55
00:01:59,652 --> 00:02:02,188
WHERE ESA IS A CRITICAL PARTNER

56
00:02:02,255 --> 00:02:04,190
TO NASA, AND, AND IT IS

57
00:02:04,257 --> 00:02:05,892
DELIVERING THE EUROPEAN SERVICE

58
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:07,293
MODULE, WHICH TOGETHER WITH THE

59
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,696
ORION CAPSULE WILL ENABLE HUMANS

60
00:02:09,762 --> 00:02:12,699
TO RETURN TO THE MOON.

61
00:02:12,765 --> 00:02:15,401
IN BOTH CASES, IT IS AN EXAMPLE

62
00:02:15,468 --> 00:02:18,037
OF THE, YOU KNOW, GROWING ROLES

63
00:02:18,104 --> 00:02:19,839
AND RESPONSIBILITIES THAT EUROPE

64
00:02:19,906 --> 00:02:22,041
IS READY TO ASSUME AND IT IS

65
00:02:22,108 --> 00:02:23,643
SOMETHING THAT MAKES ME PROUD.

66
00:02:23,710 --> 00:02:25,845
IT ALL COMES BACK TO HARD WORK,

67
00:02:25,912 --> 00:02:29,148
UM, AND TEAM WORK, YOU KNOW?

68
00:02:29,215 --> 00:02:30,650
WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM ONBOARD THE

69
00:02:30,717 --> 00:02:31,951
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.

70
00:02:32,018 --> 00:02:33,553
WE ARE SEVEN ASTRONAUTS THAT

71
00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:35,555
HAVE TRAINED TOGETHER, PREPARED

72
00:02:35,622 --> 00:02:37,357
TOGETHER, THAT REALLY MAKES IT,

73
00:02:37,423 --> 00:02:40,159
A SMOOTH, A SMOOTH DAILY LIFE

74
00:02:40,226 --> 00:02:41,761
ONBOARD THE SPACE STATION, AND,

75
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:44,264
AS LONG AS EVERYTHING IS GOING

76
00:02:44,330 --> 00:02:47,166
NOMINALLY, MY ROLE IS TO SORT OF

77
00:02:47,233 --> 00:02:49,068
STAY IN THE BACKGROUND, AND JUST

78
00:02:49,135 --> 00:02:50,770
LET EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING FLOW

79
00:02:50,837 --> 00:02:53,573
ACCORDING TO PLANNED AND THAT IS

80
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:54,974
POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE HAVE A GREAT

81
00:02:55,041 --> 00:02:58,678
WELL-TRAINED CREW UP HERE.

82
00:02:58,745 --> 00:02:59,178
>> YES.

83
00:02:59,245 --> 00:03:01,681
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE FIRST

84
00:03:01,748 --> 00:03:03,583
INSPIRING ANSWER AND, THANK YOU

85
00:03:03,650 --> 00:03:05,385
FOR BEING WITH US TODAY.

86
00:03:05,451 --> 00:03:08,187
HERE IS AND MA, THE CHAIR FROM

87
00:03:08,254 --> 00:03:10,089
GERMANY FOR TODAY'S MEETING AND

88
00:03:10,156 --> 00:03:13,493
I WOULD LIKE, UM, TO ASK YOU,

89
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:14,794
ASK BUT THE TOPIC.

90
00:03:14,861 --> 00:03:15,929
THIS IS ALSO FOR THE SUMMIT

91
00:03:15,995 --> 00:03:18,231
HERE, IMPORTANT, SPACE AND

92
00:03:18,298 --> 00:03:21,134
CLIMATE CHANGE AND SO WHAT SPACE

93
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,236
CAN CONTRIBUTE TO PROTECT OUR

94
00:03:23,303 --> 00:03:26,940
PLANET TO PROTECT CLIMATE AND,

95
00:03:27,006 --> 00:03:30,143
UM, OUR WOULD LIKE TO ASK

96
00:03:30,209 --> 00:03:31,644
WHETHER YOU ARE CONDUCTING

97
00:03:31,711 --> 00:03:33,346
EXPERIMENTS ON THE ISS WHICH

98
00:03:33,413 --> 00:03:35,648
HELP OUR UNDERSTANDING OF

99
00:03:35,715 --> 00:03:38,251
CLIMATE, AND IF YOU COULD SAY A

100
00:03:38,318 --> 00:03:45,658
FEW WORDS ABOUT THEM, THANK YOU.

101
00:03:45,725 --> 00:03:47,360
>> WE OFTEN MAKE THE MISTAKE OF

102
00:03:47,427 --> 00:03:48,661
THINKING THAT SPACE EXPLORATION

103
00:03:48,728 --> 00:03:50,163
IS EVERYTHING WE SEE IN THE

104
00:03:50,229 --> 00:03:52,165
NIGHT SKY, WHEN WE LOOK UP, BUT

105
00:03:52,231 --> 00:03:54,467
ONE OF THE THINGS WE REALIZE AS

106
00:03:54,534 --> 00:03:56,169
ASTRONAUTS AS SOON AS WE LAUNCH

107
00:03:56,235 --> 00:03:57,971
INTO SPACE, SPACE EXPLORATION IS

108
00:03:58,037 --> 00:04:00,173
JUST AS MUCH ABOUT THE EARTH,

109
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:02,475
UM, BECAUSE AS SOON AS WE LAUNCH

110
00:04:02,542 --> 00:04:04,277
IN SPACE, AS SOON AS WE LOOK OUT

111
00:04:04,344 --> 00:04:06,079
THE WINDOWS, OUR EYES ARE

112
00:04:06,145 --> 00:04:07,580
AUTOMATICALLY DRAWN TO THE

113
00:04:07,647 --> 00:04:08,081
EARTH.

114
00:04:08,147 --> 00:04:09,882
WE REALIZE VERY QUICKLY, HOW

115
00:04:09,949 --> 00:04:11,484
UNIQUE THE EARTH IS.

116
00:04:11,551 --> 00:04:14,287
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING,

117
00:04:14,354 --> 00:04:16,623
NOTHING LIKE THE EARTH ANYWHERE

118
00:04:16,689 --> 00:04:19,726
NEAR US IN THIS FASTNESS OF

119
00:04:19,792 --> 00:04:21,828
SPACE THAT SURROUNDS US, AND YOU

120
00:04:21,894 --> 00:04:23,730
VERY QUICKLY REALIZE THAT EARTH

121
00:04:23,796 --> 00:04:26,132
IS OUR HOME.

122
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:27,333
IT IS OUR ONLY HOME.

123
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,736
WE HAVE TO PROTECT IT BECAUSE,

124
00:04:29,802 --> 00:04:31,738
IF WE DAMAGE THE EARTH, IF WE

125
00:04:31,804 --> 00:04:33,439
MAKE IT UNLIVABLE.

126
00:04:33,506 --> 00:04:35,141
THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION FOR US.

127
00:04:35,208 --> 00:04:37,243
THIS IS THE ONLY HOME WE HAVE.

128
00:04:37,310 --> 00:04:43,449
IT IS WHAT WE HAVE TO PROTECT.

129
00:04:43,516 --> 00:04:45,151
WE ALSO REALIZE THE EARTH IS A

130
00:04:45,218 --> 00:04:46,252
SINGLE PLANET.

131
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:48,655
HE IS A GLOBE THAT WE ALL SHARE

132
00:04:48,721 --> 00:04:49,455
WITH EACH OTHER.

133
00:04:49,522 --> 00:04:51,057
YOU REALIZE THAT WHAT WE DO IN

134
00:04:51,124 --> 00:04:52,859
EUROPE EFFECTS WHAT HAPPENS IN

135
00:04:52,925 --> 00:04:54,861
ASIA, AFRICA, AMERICA, WHAT

136
00:04:54,927 --> 00:04:57,163
HAPPENS IN ASIA AFFECTS US IN

137
00:04:57,230 --> 00:04:57,764
EUROPE.

138
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:59,065
YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE GLOBAL

139
00:04:59,132 --> 00:05:00,566
PERSPECTIVE.

140
00:05:00,633 --> 00:05:02,268
ESPECIALLY ON LARGE SCALE ISSUES

141
00:05:02,335 --> 00:05:03,970
LIKE CLIMATE CHANGE.

142
00:05:04,037 --> 00:05:07,674
AND SO, USING SPACE AT THE

143
00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:09,575
ADVANTAGE POINT, THE OBSERVATION

144
00:05:09,642 --> 00:05:11,377
POINT, ALLOWS US TO GET THAT

145
00:05:11,444 --> 00:05:14,080
GLOBAL VIEW TO UNDERSTAND THE

146
00:05:14,147 --> 00:05:16,716
COMPLEXITIES OF OUR PLANET, AND

147
00:05:16,783 --> 00:05:19,919
ESA'S EARTH OBSERVATION PROGRAM

148
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:22,622
IS A GREAT WAY TO ENHANCE OUR

149
00:05:22,689 --> 00:05:24,924
UNDERSTANDING OF THE EARTH.

150
00:05:24,991 --> 00:05:27,627
WE CAN ALSO USE THE ISS AS

151
00:05:27,694 --> 00:05:30,229
ADVANTAGE POINT, AND I AM DOING

152
00:05:30,296 --> 00:05:31,631
TWO EXPERIMENTS THAT HOPEFULLY

153
00:05:31,698 --> 00:05:33,533
WILL INCREASE OUR KNOWLEDGE

154
00:05:33,599 --> 00:05:35,735
ABOUT THE ATMOSPHERE AND CLIMATE

155
00:05:35,802 --> 00:05:37,837
CHANGE, I AM STUDYING GIANT

156
00:05:37,904 --> 00:05:39,138
LIGHTNING STRIKES THAT SHOOT

157
00:05:39,205 --> 00:05:40,339
UPWARD INTERESTS THE TOP OF

158
00:05:40,406 --> 00:05:42,141
THUNDER CLOUDS OUT TOWARD SPACE,

159
00:05:42,208 --> 00:05:45,244
THAT ARE CALLED BLUE JET BEES

160
00:05:45,311 --> 00:05:47,046
AND RED STRIPES THAT ARE

161
00:05:47,113 --> 00:05:49,449
GIGANTIC LIGHTNING THAT RELEASE

162
00:05:49,515 --> 00:05:51,350
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF ENERGY INTO

163
00:05:51,417 --> 00:05:52,852
THE ATMOSPHERE AND ALLOWS A

164
00:05:52,919 --> 00:05:54,554
TRANSPORT OF WATER VAPOR AND

165
00:05:54,620 --> 00:05:57,256
OTHER GASES TO THE STRATOSPHERE

166
00:05:57,323 --> 00:05:59,659
AND IT IS PHENOMENAL THAT IS NOT

167
00:05:59,726 --> 00:06:01,260
WELL UNDERSTOOD AND COULD PLAY A

168
00:06:01,327 --> 00:06:04,764
ROLE IN SHAPING OUR CLIMATES.

169
00:06:04,831 --> 00:06:06,365
I AM ALSO TAKING PICTURES OF THE

170
00:06:06,432 --> 00:06:08,668
MOON IN ORDER TO AREA IN ANDS

171
00:06:08,735 --> 00:06:10,169
THE AMOUNT OF SUNLIGHT THAT THE

172
00:06:10,236 --> 00:06:11,571
EARTH REFLECTS INTO SPACE.

173
00:06:11,637 --> 00:06:13,873
THAT IS A VITAL PERIMETER PAUSE

174
00:06:13,940 --> 00:06:15,575
THE BALANCE BETWEEN THE AMOUNT

175
00:06:15,641 --> 00:06:17,210
OF SUN LIGHT THIS THAT THE EARTH

176
00:06:17,276 --> 00:06:19,112
ABSORBS THE AMOUNT THAT REFLECTS

177
00:06:19,178 --> 00:06:20,613
BACK TO SPACE IS THE KEY

178
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,915
PERIMETER IN MEASURING OR

179
00:06:22,982 --> 00:06:25,017
UNDERSTANDING EARTH'S CLIMATE,

180
00:06:25,084 --> 00:06:27,220
AND SO SPACE REALLY IS JUST AS

181
00:06:27,286 --> 00:06:29,722
MUCH ABOUT UNDERSTANDING OUR

182
00:06:29,789 --> 00:06:32,125
PLANET AS IT IS UNDERSTANDING

183
00:06:32,191 --> 00:06:34,327
SOLAR SYSTEMS AND THE STARS AND

184
00:06:34,393 --> 00:06:40,933
THE UNIVERSE.

185
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,135
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS

186
00:06:42,201 --> 00:06:44,237
REALLY INTERESTING VIEW AND WHAT

187
00:06:44,303 --> 00:06:46,439
YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW AND, UM,

188
00:06:46,506 --> 00:06:49,041
AND, AND, SECOND TOPIC THAT WE

189
00:06:49,108 --> 00:06:50,243
ARE DISCUSSION HERE IN THE

190
00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:51,944
SUMMIT, OF COURSE, IS THE WHOLE

191
00:06:52,011 --> 00:06:54,747
QUESTION OF COMMERCIALIZATION OF

192
00:06:54,814 --> 00:06:56,749
SPACE, OF SO-CALLED NEW SPACE,

193
00:06:56,816 --> 00:06:58,751
THAT WOULD ALSO BE INTEREST TO

194
00:06:58,818 --> 00:07:00,953
OUR GROUP HERE, HOW YOU SEE THE

195
00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:02,655
QUESTION OF COMMERCIALIZATION AT

196
00:07:02,722 --> 00:07:05,158
THE ISS, THERE ARE ALSO

197
00:07:05,224 --> 00:07:06,659
EXPERIMENTS WITH THE COMMERCIAL

198
00:07:06,726 --> 00:07:08,461
BACKGROUND OR HOW DO YOU SEE THE

199
00:07:08,528 --> 00:07:10,863
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT REFERRING TO

200
00:07:10,930 --> 00:07:18,404
COMMERCIALIZATION.

201
00:07:18,471 --> 00:07:20,406
>> WELL, WE CERTAINLY SEE A

202
00:07:20,473 --> 00:07:21,808
BIGGER AND BIGGER INTEREST FROM

203
00:07:21,874 --> 00:07:23,109
COMMERCIAL COMPANIES IN

204
00:07:23,176 --> 00:07:25,511
UTILIZING UTILIZING THE

205
00:07:25,578 --> 00:07:27,613
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, AND

206
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,816
I WILL ALSO BE PERFORMING

207
00:07:29,882 --> 00:07:32,318
EXPERIMENTS INCLUDING COMMERCIAL

208
00:07:32,385 --> 00:07:34,620
EXPERIMENTS LIKE PRINTING OF

209
00:07:34,687 --> 00:07:37,523
SPACE, DEVELOPED BY AIRBUS.

210
00:07:37,590 --> 00:07:38,524
IT IS A VERY INTERESTING

211
00:07:38,591 --> 00:07:40,426
EXPERIMENT WHERE WE WILL TEST

212
00:07:40,493 --> 00:07:42,028
FOR THE FIRST TIME TO PRINT IN

213
00:07:42,094 --> 00:07:44,831
3D USING METAL, AND THAT

214
00:07:44,897 --> 00:07:49,135
HOPEFULLY WILL PAVE THE WAY FOR

215
00:07:49,202 --> 00:07:50,837
IN SPACE MANUFACTURING IN THE

216
00:07:50,903 --> 00:07:52,138
FUTURE.

217
00:07:52,205 --> 00:07:54,740
WHICH WILL MAKE OUR ABILITY TO

218
00:07:54,807 --> 00:07:57,343
PRODUCE COMPONENTS IN SPACE IN

219
00:07:57,410 --> 00:08:01,147
THE FUTURE MUCH MORE LIKELY.

220
00:08:01,214 --> 00:08:03,950
OF COURSE, WE STILL NEED THE

221
00:08:04,016 --> 00:08:06,352
ABILITY TO SEND MATERIAL INTO

222
00:08:06,419 --> 00:08:07,854
SPACE, BUT ALSO TO RETURN

223
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,556
PRODUCT BACK TO THE EARTH, SO I

224
00:08:10,623 --> 00:08:12,558
AM VERY HAPPY TO HEAR, THAT THE

225
00:08:12,625 --> 00:08:13,960
SPACE SUMMIT YOU WILL BE

226
00:08:14,026 --> 00:08:16,696
DISCUSSION COMMERCIAL CARGO

227
00:08:16,762 --> 00:08:19,398
RETURN SURFACE, IT IS SOMETHING

228
00:08:19,465 --> 00:08:22,501
THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT, UM, AND

229
00:08:22,568 --> 00:08:24,604
ESPECIALLY ALSO FOR ESA, I

230
00:08:24,670 --> 00:08:26,305
THINK, IN THE FUTURE, IF YOU

231
00:08:26,372 --> 00:08:28,608
WANT TO TAKE PART IN THIS NEW

232
00:08:28,674 --> 00:08:30,810
COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY, THAT IS

233
00:08:30,877 --> 00:08:34,714
DEVELOPING FIRST AND FOREMOST IN

234
00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:36,616
LOW EARTH ORBIT, BUT ALSO I

235
00:08:36,682 --> 00:08:38,417
THINK IN LUNAR SPACE AND AROUND

236
00:08:38,484 --> 00:08:40,920
THE MOON IN THOUGH NOT TOO

237
00:08:40,987 --> 00:08:48,127
DISTANT FUTURE.

238
00:08:48,194 --> 00:08:49,128
>> THANK YOU, ANDY.

239
00:08:49,195 --> 00:08:50,429
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE

240
00:08:50,496 --> 00:08:51,430
COMING TO SPACE.

241
00:08:51,497 --> 00:08:53,833
THIS WILL BE DEBATED LATER IN

242
00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:56,736
THE MEETING, BUT BEFORE THAT.

243
00:08:56,802 --> 00:08:58,037
IT IS THE SECOND TIME YOU ARE IN

244
00:08:58,104 --> 00:08:58,237
SPACE.

245
00:08:58,304 --> 00:09:01,340
THE LAST TIME YOU FLEW IN 2015

246
00:09:01,407 --> 00:09:03,542
ON THE SOYUZ CAPSULE.

247
00:09:03,609 --> 00:09:06,145
THIS TIME ON SPACEX.

248
00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:15,655
WHAT HAS CHANGED IN BETWEEN?

249
00:09:15,721 --> 00:09:17,189
>> WELL, A LOT HAS CHANGED.

250
00:09:17,256 --> 00:09:18,391
FIRST AND FOREMOST, THE

251
00:09:18,457 --> 00:09:19,692
COMMERCIAL COMPANIES THAT ARE

252
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:21,894
NOW TAKING PART IN THE

253
00:09:21,961 --> 00:09:24,297
EXPLORATION OF SPACE.

254
00:09:24,363 --> 00:09:27,700
IN PARTICULAR, SPACEX WHO ARE

255
00:09:27,767 --> 00:09:29,502
LAUNCHING, YOU KNOW, UP TO TWO

256
00:09:29,568 --> 00:09:31,504
TIMES A WEEK, AND ARE EVEN

257
00:09:31,570 --> 00:09:33,205
PREPARING THE WAY FOR OUR RETURN

258
00:09:33,272 --> 00:09:34,307
TO THE MOON.

259
00:09:34,373 --> 00:09:37,710
I SAW RIGHT NEXT TO THE OWN

260
00:09:37,777 --> 00:09:39,011
LAUNCHPAD AT KENNEDY SPACE

261
00:09:39,078 --> 00:09:39,312
CENTER.

262
00:09:39,378 --> 00:09:41,414
I SAW SPACEX BUILDING THE NEW

263
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,316
GUY GAN TICK LAUNCHPAD WHICH

264
00:09:43,382 --> 00:09:46,018
WILL SEE STAR SHIP HELPLESS

265
00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:47,119
RETURN TOP THE MOON.

266
00:09:47,186 --> 00:09:49,622
THIS IN LARGE PART THANKS TO THE

267
00:09:49,689 --> 00:09:51,524
DECISION AND INVESTMENT THAT

268
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:56,829
NASA MADE 12-15 YEARS AGO TO, TO

269
00:09:56,896 --> 00:09:59,432
USE COMMERCIAL COMPANIES OR TO

270
00:09:59,498 --> 00:10:02,134
ENABLE COMMERCIAL, COMPANIES TO

271
00:10:02,201 --> 00:10:04,236
PARTICIPATE.

272
00:10:04,303 --> 00:10:07,540
WE ALSO SEE A HUGE INVESTMENT

273
00:10:07,606 --> 00:10:10,543
FROM CHINA AND INDIA AND, I AM

274
00:10:10,609 --> 00:10:14,947
VERY INTERESTED, OR I AM VERY

275
00:10:15,014 --> 00:10:18,150
CURIOUS TO KNOW, HOW EUROPE WILL

276
00:10:18,217 --> 00:10:21,153
RESPOND TO THIS.

277
00:10:21,220 --> 00:10:23,055
YOU KNOW, I AM REMINDED OF THE

278
00:10:23,122 --> 00:10:25,658
FACT THAT 25 YEARS AGO, ESA AND

279
00:10:25,725 --> 00:10:27,159
EUROPE WERE DEBATING THE

280
00:10:27,226 --> 00:10:30,663
CONSTRUCTION OF THE CREWED SPACE

281
00:10:30,730 --> 00:10:33,165
VEHICLE, AND I CANNOT HELP BUT

282
00:10:33,232 --> 00:10:34,667
THINK WHAT POSITION EUROPE WOULD

283
00:10:34,734 --> 00:10:36,469
BE IN TODAY, IF WE HAD

284
00:10:36,535 --> 00:10:38,070
DEVELOPED.

285
00:10:38,137 --> 00:10:39,572
YOU KNOW, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN

286
00:10:39,638 --> 00:10:43,476
ABLE TO LAUNCH ASTRONAUTS TO THE

287
00:10:43,542 --> 00:10:44,477
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AND

288
00:10:44,543 --> 00:10:46,579
TO TAKE OVER IN 2011 AFTER THE

289
00:10:46,645 --> 00:10:49,181
SHUTTLE RETIRED THEN PERHAPS I

290
00:10:49,248 --> 00:10:50,883
WOULD HAVE LAUNCH ON EUROPEAN

291
00:10:50,950 --> 00:10:53,285
VEHICLE ON 2015 INSTEAD OF A

292
00:10:53,352 --> 00:10:55,388
RUSSIAN SOYUZ SPACE RAFT, AND SO

293
00:10:55,454 --> 00:10:58,491
I AM WONDERING, 25 YEARS AGO, 25

294
00:10:58,557 --> 00:11:00,893
YEARS FROM NOW, WILL WE LOOK

295
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,095
BACK ON TODAY, AND SAY, IF ONLY

296
00:11:03,162 --> 00:11:05,698
WE HAD MADE INVESTMENT?

297
00:11:05,765 --> 00:11:07,600
OR DO WE HAVE THE VISION TODAY,

298
00:11:07,666 --> 00:11:09,602
THE COURAGE TODAY, TO MAKE THE

299
00:11:09,668 --> 00:11:11,404
NECESSARY INVESTMENTS THAT WILL

300
00:11:11,470 --> 00:11:14,407
ENABLE EUROPEAN PARTICIPATION IN

301
00:11:14,473 --> 00:11:17,043
SPACE, IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE

302
00:11:17,109 --> 00:11:19,145
SPACE IS PLAYING A LARGER AND

303
00:11:19,211 --> 00:11:20,946
LARGER AND MORE AND MORE

304
00:11:21,013 --> 00:11:22,948
IMPORTANT ROLE IN ALL THE LIVES,

305
00:11:23,015 --> 00:11:26,752
SPACE, PLAYS A HUGE FACTOR IN

306
00:11:26,819 --> 00:11:29,955
CLIMATE POLICY, IN GEO-POLICY,

307
00:11:30,022 --> 00:11:31,557
SECURITY POLICY, INDUSTRIAL

308
00:11:31,624 --> 00:11:32,258
POLICY.

309
00:11:32,324 --> 00:11:33,459
AND SO I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU

310
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:35,361
WILL TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY, THAT

311
00:11:35,428 --> 00:11:37,763
THE SPACE SUMMIT OFFERS YOU TO

312
00:11:37,830 --> 00:11:39,765
LAYOUT A VISION, AND TO MAKE THE

313
00:11:39,832 --> 00:11:42,068
NECESSARY INVESTMENTS, TODAY,

314
00:11:42,134 --> 00:11:43,869
THAT WILL ENSURE THE FUTURE FOR

315
00:11:43,936 --> 00:11:46,572
ALL OF EUROPE'S IN THE COMING

316
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:53,079
DECADES.

317
00:11:53,145 --> 00:11:54,880
>> THANK YOU, ANDY.

00:11:58,350 --> 00:12:00,186
UPLIFTING.

321

YOUR VISION OF OUR PLANET

322
00:12:01,954 --> 00:12:03,489
REMINDS US OF THE LARGE

323
00:12:03,556 --> 00:12:04,990
RESPONSIBILITY THAT HUMAN KIND

324
00:12:05,057 --> 00:12:08,994
HAS TO PUT THAT HOME.

325
00:12:09,061 --> 00:12:16,235
