1
00:00:04,738 --> 00:00:05,972
Gateway is in of

2
00:00:05,972 --> 00:00:08,942
itself a humongous technological marvel.

3
00:00:09,042 --> 00:00:12,145
It is the first space station
around the Moon.

4
00:00:12,345 --> 00:00:17,250
It is going to be a very important part
of our future exploration missions.

5
00:00:17,650 --> 00:00:20,820
We know how to live and work in low
Earth orbit.

6
00:00:20,887 --> 00:00:22,989
But now it's time to go further.

7
00:00:22,989 --> 00:00:26,426
Artemis is going to take us to parts of
the Moon that we haven't been to before.

8
00:00:26,993 --> 00:00:30,230
Going back to the Moon has to be
an international cooperation.

9
00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:35,402
The resources and the efforts
required to make this happen

10
00:00:35,402 --> 00:00:38,705
are just too much for any single nation
to go on their own.

11
00:00:39,272 --> 00:00:42,742
There's the old saying that
if you want to go fast, you go alone.

12
00:00:43,443 --> 00:00:46,946
If you want to go for a long time,
you go together.

13
00:00:47,313 --> 00:00:51,785
And so it's going to take
a humankind effort to go to the Moon.

14
00:00:51,785 --> 00:00:54,187
And then use that as a
stepping stone to go to Mars.

15
00:00:55,255 --> 00:00:56,089
To be able to

16
00:00:56,089 --> 00:00:59,859
go and do lunar surface exploration
missions and do sustainable missions,

17
00:00:59,859 --> 00:01:01,928
be able to do long duration missions,
go to the Moon

18
00:01:01,928 --> 00:01:04,931
to stay rather than just to visit
like we did in Apollo,

19
00:01:05,131 --> 00:01:08,101
We need a space station
and Gateway’s that station.

20
00:01:08,301 --> 00:01:11,271
The international crews
and the international astronauts there

21
00:01:11,271 --> 00:01:11,838
to perform

22
00:01:11,838 --> 00:01:16,209
these missions will be the first humans
that are making their home in deep space.

23
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:19,679
Think about all that we’ve learned
from the International Space

24
00:01:19,679 --> 00:01:22,682
Station as a low-Earth orbit Laboratory.

25
00:01:22,749 --> 00:01:25,251
Gateway will be an extension of that.

26
00:01:25,251 --> 00:01:28,254
And continue that legacy of science
and discovery.

27
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:31,391
We are going to be learning

28
00:01:31,391 --> 00:01:35,061
about deep space exploration.
When we're in low-Earth orbit

29
00:01:35,161 --> 00:01:38,598
We're protected.
When we are around the Moon.

30
00:01:38,731 --> 00:01:40,400
We don't have that protection.

31
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,603
So it is going to affect everything.

32
00:01:44,504 --> 00:01:49,142
We have the very unique ability
at Gateway to study that radiation.

33
00:01:50,176 --> 00:01:52,078
Gateway sounds so science

34
00:01:52,078 --> 00:01:55,081
fiction,
but it's real and we're building it.

35
00:01:55,081 --> 00:01:58,518
And science will never be the same.
