00:00:00,286 --> 00:00:02,286
[MUSIC]

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,475
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

3
00:00:04,475 --> 00:00:06,844
TODAY WE ARE 
INTRODUCING TO YOU,

4
00:00:06,844 --> 00:00:07,887
AND TO THE WORLD...

5
00:00:16,552 --> 00:00:17,963
MY NAME IS LUKE DELANEY,

6
00:00:17,963 --> 00:00:20,241
I'M A RETIRED MAJOR FROM THE 
MARINE CORPS,

7
00:00:20,241 --> 00:00:22,022
WORKING AT NASA LANGLEY AS A RESEARCH PILOT,

8
00:00:22,022 --> 00:00:24,076
AND I'M NOW AN ASTRONAUT CANDIDATE.

9
00:00:24,076 --> 00:00:27,792
A NASA ASTRONAUT TO ME,  IS AN EXPLORER AT HEART.

10
00:00:27,792 --> 00:00:29,885
I THINK THEY'RE THE VERY EMBODIMENT OF IT

11
00:00:29,885 --> 00:00:32,400
YOU 
GET TO INSPIRE PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE.

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,067
TO ME IT'S SOMEBODY WHO'S ALWAYS

13
00:00:43,067 --> 00:00:44,443
CHALLENGING THEMSELVES

14
00:00:44,443 --> 00:00:46,560
AND ALWAYS TRYING TO

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,197
YOU KNOW, PUSH THE BOUNDS OF MANKIND.

16
00:00:49,197 --> 00:00:51,664
I WANTED TO 
BE AN ASTRONAUT SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID.

17
00:00:51,664 --> 00:00:54,882
I GREW UP WANTING TO LEARN HOW TO FLY, LEARN HOW TO GO 
TO SPACE.

18
00:00:54,882 --> 00:00:56,880
SO SOME OF MY EARLIEST MEMORIES ARE-

19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,396
ARE OF WANTING TO BECOME AN ASTRONAUT.

20
00:00:59,396 --> 00:01:02,291
SINCE 
I WAS LITTLE, I'VE ALWAYS HAD AN AFFINITY FOR THE SKY

21
00:01:02,291 --> 00:01:04,258
AND FOR SPACE AND THE STARS.

22
00:01:04,258 --> 00:01:07,093
AND SO I SET 
MY SIGHTS AS A VERY YOUNG CHILD

23
00:01:07,093 --> 00:01:07,840
ON GETTING HERE.

24
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,188
IT IS JUST A CHANCE TO EXPLORE AND

25
00:01:13,188 --> 00:01:14,987
JUST KEEP 
PUSHING WHERE WE CAN GO,

26
00:01:14,987 --> 00:01:15,954
WHAT'S POSSIBLE,

27
00:01:15,954 --> 00:01:17,509
AND WHAT PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE OF.

28
00:01:17,509 --> 00:01:20,022
A NASA ASTRONAUT IS AN 
EXPLORER.

29
00:01:20,022 --> 00:01:21,617
THEY GET TO GO UP AND LIVE IN SPACE

30
00:01:21,617 --> 00:01:23,300
AND DO RESEARCH SO THAT WE CAN

31
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:24,897
LEARN MORE ABOUT 
HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT.

32
00:01:26,099 --> 00:01:27,922
I THINK A NASA ASTRONAUT IS

33
00:01:27,922 --> 00:01:29,664
THE MOST VISIBLE PART

34
00:01:29,664 --> 00:01:31,634
OF A MUCH LARGER 
TEAM OF

35
00:01:31,634 --> 00:01:34,240
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE STRIVING TO

36
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,184
IMPROVE HUMANITY.

37
00:01:36,184 --> 00:01:39,034
A NASA ASTRONAUT 
TO ME,

38
00:01:39,034 --> 00:01:41,126
IS AN AMBASSADOR FOR

39
00:01:41,126 --> 00:01:42,327
THE NASA ORGANIZATION

40
00:01:42,327 --> 00:01:44,263
AS WELL AS ITS MISSION.

41
00:01:44,263 --> 00:01:45,936
WE'RE REALLY LUCKY TO BE SORT OF THE

42
00:01:45,936 --> 00:01:47,717
TIP OF A HUGE ORGANIZATION

43
00:01:47,717 --> 00:01:48,869
THAT'S ALL WORKING TOGETHER 
TO

44
00:01:48,869 --> 00:01:53,840
TRY TO ACHIEVE SOME PRETTY AMAZING THINGS.
