00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:12.000
Kicking off a new vision starts with taking a look at what you've got, and that's exactly why Admiral Craig Steidle came to the Kennedy Space Center.

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:19.000
Steidle, who retired from the Navy four years ago, was asked to head NASA's new Office of Exploration Systems.

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:26.000
That makes him the man in charge of figuring out the best way to send America back to the Moon and eventually beyond.

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:32.000
Admiral Steidle took a tour of the Kennedy Space Center to see what the facility had to offer for NASA's bold new vision.

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:39.000
"This is certainly the operations center of the future, it also is the center around which we will develop

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:44.000
those technologies for life cycle support of our systems and our infrastructures in the future."

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.000
Steidle toured the Orbiter Processing Facility, the Space Station Processing Facility,

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.000
and discussed the future of Kennedy Space Center with KSC Director Jim Kennedy.

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.000
"While we don't know for sure the launch vehicles we're talking about for the future,

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:12.000
we do know that the KSC roles in the past will be built upon as we build the capabilities in the future."
