Kennedy Space Center's director and NASA Astronaut Kay Hire went back to school last week,

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:15.000
to share with students the nation's vision for space exploration.

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:26.000
We're actually here on a bit of a recruiting duty, if you will, and the reason is, if we had it all figured out, we'd already be there.

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:32.000
We don't have it all figured out. We need new technology that does not exist today.

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:40.000
KSC Center Director Jim Kennedy spoke to the students of Stewart Middle Magnet School in Tampa on why he had made the trip.

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:50.000
"I think we came here to inspire the youth of your class, of your school, I want you to know that the youth of your school has inspired me.

00:00:50.000 --> 00:01:04.000
Kennedy and Hire spent the day discussing the students' role in the future of NASA, and how each one of them could be a part of the vision.
