>> HELLO AND WELCOME TO NASA
SPACE PRESS CONFERENCE AS WE
CELEBRATE THE CONCLUSION OF THE
2 MISSION AND OFFICIAL RETURN TO
AMERICAN SOIL.
COMING FROW NASA'S JOHNSON SPACE
CENTER.
NASA ASTRONAUTS BOB BEHNKEN AND
DOUG HURLEY SPENT NINE WEEKS
ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION TRAVELING
27.1 MILLION-MILANCE ORBITING
OVER 1024 TIMES, AND, TODAY, OUR
CREW IS HOME.
AND SPLASHING DOWN 45 YEARS AND
NINE DAYS AFTER THE LAST
AMERICAN SMASH SPLASHDOWN ON
EARTH.
MELTS AGO, OUR TWO FAVORITE
SPACE SPLASHED DOWN OFF THE
COAST OF PENS CONTROL AND ABOARD
THE SPACEX CREW DRAGON AND JUST
CONCLUDING OUR FIRST LAUNCH
AMERICA MISSION.
THIS HISTORIC LANDING LEFT THE
FIRST RETURN OF COMMERCIAL BUILT
AND OPERATOR AMERICAN SPACECRAFT
FROM THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION.
AND TO DISCUSS THIS HISTORIC
MISSION.
TALK MORE ABOUT WATCH AMERICA
AND WHAT WE HAVE IN STORE FOR
NASA IS WE HAVE THE BRIEFERS.
LET ME INTRODUCE THEM.
FIRST JIM BRIDENSTINE, NASA
ADMINISTRATOR, PRESIDENT AND CEO
OF SPACEX, STEVE STITCH,
COMMERCIAL CREW PROGRAM MANAGER,
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
PROGRAM MANAGER AND END FIRE
CREWS?
>> ASTRONAUTSES, WHO ARE
TOGETHER AND SPEAKING US TO
TODAY.
SO WE'LL START WITH OPEN
REMARKANCE TAKE QUESTIONS FOR
REPORTERS WHO ARE DIALED IN AS A
REMINDER PLEASE TAKE QUESTIONS
FROM THE PUBLIC WHO HAVE USED
THE HASHTAG ASK FAS SA.
LET'S BEGIN.
JIM?
OPENING REMARKS?
WELL, THANK YOU BETTINA.
THIS IS A GREAT DAY FOR NASA.
THIS IS A GREAT DAY FOR THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, I WANT
TO THANK OUR SPACEX PARTNERS,
AND OF COURSE, THE COMMERCIAL
CREW PROGRAM HERE AT NASA.
WHAT AN AMAZING DAY, TODAY, WE
REALLY MADE HISTORY, AND WE ARE
ENTERING A NEW REAR OF HUMAN
SPACEFLIGHT, WHERE NASA IS NO
LONGER THE PURCHASER, OWNER AND
OPERATOR OF THE HARDWARE AND
GOING TO BE A CUSTOMER, ONE
CUSTOMER OF MANY CUSTOMERS IN A
VERY ROBUST COMMERCIAL
MARKETPLACE FOR HUMAN
SPACEFLIGHT TO LOWER EARTH ORBIT
BUZZ WE WANT TO HAVE NUMEROUS
PROVIDERS THAT ARE COMPETING
AGAINST EACH OTHER ON COST AND
NO INNOVATION AND SAFETY,
DRIVING DOWN COSTS AND INCREASE
ACCESS TO SPACE IN A WAY THAT
NEVER HAS BEEN SEEN BEFORE AND
SO THIS IS REALLY AN AMAZING DAY
AND WE NEED TO REMEMBER, THAT
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING AND
NOW, IS THE TIME TO CAPITALIZE
ON ALL OF THE GREAT PROGRAMS
THAT HAVE RECENTLY BEEN
ESTABLISHED TO TO INCLUDE GOING
SUSTAINABLY TO THE UNDER A
PROGRAM CALLED ARTEMIS WHICH IS
MINE SHIRT.
WE'RE GOING TO THE MOON SUSTAIN
BE GO WITH COMMERCIAL PART FERS
AND INTERNATIONAL PARTNERRANCE
OUTS THE RESOURCE OF THE MOON TO
LIVE AND WORK ON ANOTHER WORLD
FOR LONG PERIODS OF TAME AND
TAKE THAT KNOWLEDGE AND GO TO
MARS.
THIS IS AN AMAZING MOMENT, AND
THE COMMERCIAL CREW PROGRAM HAS
REALLY JUST PROVEN THE BUSINESS
MODEL FOR HOW WE GO FORWARD AND
WE DO MORE THAN WORK THAN WE
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE DO BEFORE,
SO I WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS
TO SPACEX, AND ELON MUSK,
CONGRATULATIONS TO GWEN SHOTWELL
AND CERTAINLY CONGRATULATION
ENTIRE NASA TEAM WHICH WORKED
DILIGENTLY ON THIS FOR SO NAN IF
I YEARS, IT WAS REALLY, REALLY
REMARKABLE DAY THAT COULDN'T
HAVE GONE ANY BETTER AND LOOK
FORWARD TO GETTING INTO THE
QUESTIONS.
>> THANK YOU, JIM.
NEXT WE GO TO GWEN.
>> THANK YOU, BOB AND DOUG
NORTHERN HOU HAVE GIVEN US
TO BE HERE TODAY AND HAVE THIS
GREAT ACHIEVE.
I HAVE TO DO A CALLOUT THE GREAT
SPACEX TEAM, THEY DID
EXTRAORDINARY WORK, THIS WAS AN
INCREDIBLY SMOOTH MISSION.
I AM SURE WE WILL GOL THAT BE  
DECKS PERIENCE OVER THE 62 DAYS
HERE, IN THE Q&A, BUT I DO THINK
IT IS IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT
THIS WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY
MISSION, AN EXTRAORDINARY DAY
FOR NASA, FOR SPACEX PURCHASE
FRANKLY FOR AMERICANS, AND
ANYONE INTERESTED IN
SPACEFLIGHT.
AS HE JIM MENTIONED, THIS IS
REALLY JUST BEGINNING.
WE'RE STARTING THE JOURNEY OF
BRINGING PEOPLE REGULARLY TO AND
FROM LOWER EARTH ORBIT AND ON TO
THE MOON AND THEN, ULTIMATELY,
ON TO MARS, SO TODAY IS A GREAT
DAY.
WE SHOULD CELEBRATE WHAT WE ALL
ACCOMPLISHED HERE TODAY,
BRINGING BOB AND DOUG BACK BUT
WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT THIS AS A
SPRINGBOARD TO DOING EVEN HARDER
THINGS, WITH THE ARTEMIS PROGRAM
AND THEN OF COURSE MOVING ON TO
MARS.
>> THANK YOU,GWNE AND GO ON TO
STEVE.
>> THANK YOU, BET TY NA.
WELL ARE ALMOST SPEECHLESS.
WE DAME INTO TODAY.
WE HAD THREE OBJECTIVES, THE
FLIGHT OBJECTIVES REALLY TO
EXECUTE THE DEORBIT AND EN TRIV
THE DRAGON CAPSULE TO
DEMONSTRATE WE COULD RECOVER
THAT CAPSULE, AND THEN WE COULD
ALSO BRING BACK CARGO FROM SPACE
AND VALUABLE SCIENCE WE BROUGHT
BACK IN TWO FREEZERS ONBOARD THE
DRAGON VEHICLE AND THEN WE
DEMONSTRATED ALL THIEF THOSE
THINGS TODAY IT WAS INCREDIBLE
DAY.
CANNOT THANK ENOUGH THE MEN AND
WOMEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY SPACEX
AND NASA WHO WORKS SO
TIREstLY OVER FIVE YEARS TO
MAKE THIS DAY HAPPEN TO MAKE THE
WHOLE MISSION GO SENTENCE
SMOOTHLY AND IT WAS JUST A GREAT
EFFORT, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK
THE ISS PROGRAM AND THE
PARTNERSHIP AS WELL, TODAY, WE
HAD A PERFECT DAY TO LAND.
THE WIND WAS TWO MILES AN HOUR
LANDING IN A CLEAR DAY WITH NO
WAVES AND THE WORK THAT WE DID
WITH THE KENNY TODD AND THE
SPACE STATION PROGRAM AND
ACTUALLY, TH A CARGO
VEHICLE TO ALLOW US TO HAVE THIS
DAY AND SO THANKFUL FOR THAT AND
YOU FOE, THE WHOLE PART OF
DEORBIT AND ENTRY WENT
NOMINALLY.
THE TRIN WAS AS EXPECTED AND THE
PARACHUTE PERFORMANCE WAS
GRATEFUL THAT THEY DEPLOYED AS
EXPECTED.
WE TOUCHED DOWN JUST FINE.
WE DID HAVE ONE SLIGHT ISSUE AS
WE WERE BRINGING THE VEHICLE
BACK TON THE SHIP AND WE NOTICED
A FEW SLIGHT TOXIC VAPORS AND
FOR OXIDIZEDDER AND THEY WERE
SLIGHTLY WITH, THEY WERE WITHIN
LIMITS WHERE WE COULD HAVE
ACTUALLY HAD THE CRAW OUT.
WE TOOK A LITTLE TIME TOLL DO A
PURGE TO PURGE THOSE VAPORS AND
TO MAKE SURE THAT BOB AND DOUG
WERE SAFE.
WE TOOK A FEW READINGS INSIDE OF
OF THE CABIN AS WELL, SO JUST AN
INCREDIBLE DAY.
WHEN I LEFT THE COUNSELVILLE,
THE HELICOPTER LANDED ON THE
SHIP READY TO TAKE BOB AND DOUG
BACK TO SHORE AND BOB AND DOUG
WERE OUT OF THE CAPSULE GETTING
MEDICAL CHECKOUTS SO THINGS WERE
GOING WELL.
AGAIN, INCREDIBLE DAY.
THANKS TO OUR TEAM AND THE HARD
WORK TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
>> THANK YOU, STEVE.
JOEL?
AMERICAN SMASH SPLASHDOWN ON
>> THANK YOU.
FOR 60 PLUS DAYS, BOB AND DOUG,
THE COMMERCIAL TEAM, THE SPACEX
VEHICLE WERE ONBOARD DOING
CRITICAL SCIENCE FOR US.
BOB AND DOUG COMPLETED OVER 110
HOURS OF SCIENCE UTILIZATION,
RESEARCH, TECHNOLOGY
DEVELOPMENT, WORK THAT WILL HELP
THIS GREAT LABORATORY THAT WE
HAVE HELP US LOWER EARTH ORBIT
AND ALLOW US TO GO TO THE MOON
AND TO MARS AND WITH THE ARTEMIS
PROGRAM JUST AN IN CRED DABBLE
AND THIS IS JUST A SMALL WINDOW
TO WHAT WE'LL SEE IN THE FUTURE,
THIS MISSION HAD TWO
CREWMEMBERS, WE HAVE FOUR CREWS
MEMBERS AND ALOG US TO DO AN
INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF SCIENCE AND
RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
ONBOARD.
A HUGE THANKS TO THE SPACEX
TEAM.
A CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SPACEX
TEAM.
AND CONGRATULATION COMMERCIAL
CREW PROGRAM AND CONGRATULATIONS
TO ALL INVOLVED IN HUMAN SPACE
FLIGHT.
WITH THAT, THANKS VERY MUCH.
BACK TO BETTIN PAVEMENT THANK
YOU, JOEL.
NOW THE CREW ONE TEAM.
OVER TO YOU GUYS.
A THANK YOU.
ON BEHALF OF CREW ONE, AL THE
FAMILIES, WE WANT TO SAY
CONGRATULATIONS TO BOB, DOUG,
THEIR FAMILIES.
YOU HEARD IT ALREADY.
I WAS BIG DAY.
IT WAS BIG DAY FOR OUR NATION.
I WAS BIG DAY FOR NASA FOR THE
HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT AND SPACEX AND
THE INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS W.
HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WITNESS
ALL OF THE WORK AND THE
DEDICATION THAT HAS TAKEN TO
PULL OF THE DM2 MISSION AND IT
HAS BEEN TRULY IMPRESSIVE AND
INSPIRING.
AS YOU CAN I PANEL GIN, CREW
ONE, WE GOT BIG SMILES ON OUR
PHRASE WHAT WE SAW FROM THE DN2
MISSION AND THEN, I SAID AFTER
THE LAUNCH IN A WELL SAY IT
AGAIN AFTER WATCHING SPLASH
DOWN, IT DID NOT SEEM LIKE THIS
WAS THE FIRST NASA SPACEX
MISSION WITH ASTRONAUTS ONBOARD,
AND IT SEEMS TO GO EXTREMELY
SMOOTH AND ALSO REALIZED THERE
IS A LOT OF TO WORK GO AND LACK
AT THE DATA.
BUT AGAIN, OVERALL, THINGS NEED
TO GO VERY, VERY WELL.
AND THEN, JUST A LITTLE BIT ON
CREW ONE.
WE'RE WRAPPING UP THE TRAINING
LATER OR EARLIER THIS WEEK.
WE HAD A CHANCE TO SEE THE CREW
ONE CAPSULE, AND IT IS A
BEAUTIFUL VEHICLE AND WE CANNOT
WAIT TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
TALK IT INTO SPACE.
BUT AGAIN, TODAY, TODAY IS
REALLY ABOUT DM2 AND SUCCESSFUL
MISSION BOB AND DOUG THAN THE
FAMILIES CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANK YOU, MIKE.
WE'RE ALL EXCITED TO CELEBRATE
WHEN THE CREW LAUNCHESES AT THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION S.
WITH THAT WE ART WITH QUESTIONS
ARE THE MEDIA.
AGAIN, PRESS STAR 1 TO ASK A
QUESTION.
OUR FIRST QUESTION COMES FROM
LAUREN GRESH.
REPORT HI.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE
QUESTION.
OBVIOUSLY, A LOT OF US TOOK NOTE
OF THE BOATS THAT WERE
SOUTHERNING THE CREW DRAGON AT
LANDING AND VERY CURIOUS HOW
THAT WAS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN AND
WHAT NASA AND SPACEX PLAN TO DO
TO PREVENT THAN THE FUTURE AND
ASSUMING THAT CAN GET QUITE
DANGEROUS, IF NOT, YOU KNOW,
THANK?
.
>> I WILL TALK ABOUT IT FOR
SECOND THEN TURN IT OVER TO
STEVE.
THAT IS NOT WHAT WE WERE
ANTICIPATING.
OF COURSE, WE WANTED TO MAKE
SURE THIS WAS CLEARING FOR THEM
TO LAND.
THE COAST GUARD DID AN EXCELLENT
JOB OF ENSURE HAG, THEN, OF
COURSE, AFTER THEY LANDED, THE
BOATS JUST CAME IN, AND WE NEED
TO DO A BETTER JOB NEXT TIME
SURE?
YOU WILL TELL YOU, I IS A
BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY.
I LOT OF BOATERS WERE OUT THERE
AND CERTAINLY INTRIGUED.
THINK ALL OF AMERICA WAS VERY
AND THOUSANDS SEE THE CAPSULE
LAND IN THE WATER.
YEAH.
YEAH.
IT IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO DO
BETTER NEXT TIME.
>> I WILL JUST ADD COUPLE OF
THING.
WE DO CLEAR AREA.
WE HAVE LIKE A TEN NOT CALL MILE
AREA THAT WE CLEAR.
WE HAVE A COUPLE OF COAST GUARD
CUTTERS THROUGHOUT CLEARING THIS
ARE AIR AND THEY DID AN
EXCELLENT JOB WAITS CLEAR FOR
THE ACTUAL SPLASHDOWN EVENT.
THEN AS JIM SAID, IT WAS
BEAUTIFUL DAY, LOTS OF PEOPLE
OUT, MAYBE BOATING OR FISHING
AND THEN, THEN SAW THE CAPSULE
AND KIND OF CAME IN.
WE HAVE SOME WORK TO DO WITH
SPACEX, WE'LL WORK TOGETHER TO
DO A BETTER JOB FOR THE NEXT
SPLASHDOWN.
OPERATE PURCHASE THANKS.
OUR NEXT QUESTION COMES FROM
CHRIS DAVENPORT.
>> CONGRATSES ON GREAT MISSION.
I AM JUST WONDERING IF YOU HAD
ANY UPDATES DID ON BOB AND DOUG
AND LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE
FEELING WELL, BUT JUST ANY
UPDAYS ON THE HOS HEALTH AND
THANKS, AGAIN, CONGRATSES
EVERYONE.
>> WHEN I LEFT THE CONTROL
CENTER, BE ABOUT AND DOUG WERE
DOING WITH.
WE WATCHED THEM IN THE CAPSULE.
THEY WERE MOVING AROUND, LOOKING
AT DUS PLAYS.
WE ASKED THEM TO TAKE FEW
READINGS TO MAKE SURE IT WAS
FINE.
WE HAD GOTTEN THEM OUT, AND THEY
WERE GOING THROUGH MEDICAL
CHECKS AND ALL IND COOPERATION
THEY WERE DOING WELL.
THE PLAN FROM NOW, THE REST OF
THE DAY, SOME HELICOPTERS WILL
TAKE THEM OFF THE SHIP TO
PENSACOLA NAVAL AIR STATION AND
RETURN TO HOUSTON TONIGHT AND
THEN LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING
THEM WHEN THEY GET HERE.
I HATS BEEN A GREAT FLIGHT.
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.
I AM KNOW WE'RE AND THOUSANDS
SEE BE ABOUT AND DOUG.
THE NEXT QUESTION KEEM COMS FROM
KEITH.
>> WELL, BEFORE I ASKED THAT
QUESTION, THEN, I GOT TILL, I
CAN REMEMBER SEE ITHING IN THE
HOTEL LOBBY NEARLY 20 YEARS
LOOKING AT THE FIRST DRAWING, I
GOT SAY IT WAS TOO COOL FOR YOU
GUYS.
I THINK EVERYBODY HAD A TEAR IN
THEIR EYE.
I WANT TO DO A FOLLOW-UP ON THE
QUESTION ABOUT THE BOATS.
I TOOK ALL THE SAFETY CLASSES.
IT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU MUN QI.
WHY DID YOU DROP THE SPACE
CAPSULE IN A INTO A LOCATION
WHERE POWERBOATS ARE GOING TO BE
AND A GUY ON A SAIL BET AND
ANOTHER GUY WITH BIG TRUMP NAG
FEET AWAY AND NO ONE TRIED   TO
BE SHOOING THEM OFF.
ARE YOU GOING TO MAYBE TRY NOT
TO BE THAT CLOSE TO SHORE NEXT
TIME?
>> WE'LL LOOK AT A PUMP BEFORE
HE OPTIONS.
ARE ROOTING.
WE CAN DO BETTER.
CERTAINLY, WE HAD AL THE
CLEARANCE THAT WAS REQUIRED AT
LANDING.
AND THEN, AS SOON AS, AS SOON
AS, I MEAN, THAT CAPSULE WAS IN
THE WATER FOR GOOD PERIOD OF
TIME AND, YOU KNOW, THE BOATS
JUST MADE A B LINE FOR IT.
SOON, SO IT IS A BIG AREA TO
HAVE TO CLEAR AND TO CLEAR ALL
OF IT IS PROBABLY GOING TO
REQUIRE MORE RESOURCE AND BUT IT
IS, YEAH.
THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE ARE
GOING TO LACK AT TO DO BETTER
NEXT TIME FOR SURE.
>> THE CREWS THAT WE DEPLOYED
THERE, THEIR FOCUS WAS TO MAKE
SURE BOB AND DOUG GOT ON THE
BOAT AND EXITED SAFELY BE A NOT
THEIR JOB POLICE THE AREA AND
HAD TO GO OUT THERE FOR THAT.
THE LESSON LEARNED HERE WE NEED
MORE ASSET AND MAYBE MORE SPACEX
AND NASA ASSETS AS WELL WHAT IS
IMPORTANT THAT IS BOB AND DOUG
GO ON THE BET AND ABLE TO KEEP
THE AREA CLEAR FOR LANDING THEN,
THEN ASK PEOPLE TO MOVE BACK AS
THEY CAME A LITTLE BIT TOO CLOSE
TO THE DRAGON CAPSULE WHICH THEY
DID.
>> WE WILL BE BETTER PREPARED
NEXT TIME.
>> THANK YOU.
OUR NEXT QUESTION WILL COME FROM
IRENE.
>> CONGRATULATIONS, EVERYONE.
IT WAS IMPRESSIVE TO WATCH
TODAY.
>> CUT OUT A LITTLE BIT.
THANKS FOR THE QUESTION.
>> YEAH.
THIS MUGS WAS INCREDIBLY SMOOTH.
NOT SAY THERE ARE THING WE NEED
TO WORK ON AND DO BETTER.
THE CAPSULE WORKED BUT A
BEAUTIFULLY.
THE OPERATIONS WORKED EXTREMELY
WELL, 1:00 WE CERTAINLY FEEL
COMFORTABLE THAT WE ARE ON
RIGHT FOOTE CARRY COMMERCIAL
PASSENGERS.
NOT TOO LONG FROM NOW.
OBVIOUSLY, FOUR CUSS IS ENSURING
THAT WE GET CREW WITHIN LIFTED
OFF IN TIME TO DO A HANDOFF WITH
CREW 2 TWO, BUT YEAH, I THINK
BASE ON THE RESULTS WE HAVE SEEN
SO FAR.
THERE IS MORE DATA OBSLY TO LOOK
AT.
BUT BASED ON THE RESPECTS SO
FAR.
I AM COMFORTABLE.
>> OK.
MOVING ON.
A QUICK QUESTION FROM TWITTER,
WE HAVE GARY ASK HOW LONG WILL
IT TAKES A VERY OUT TOES TO
NORMALIZE AFTER YOU LOSE THE
CAPSULE.
HOW MUCH TO RETURN TO NORMAL
LIFE ON EARTH?
>> STEVE, DO YOU WANT TO TAKE
THAT?
>> SURE.
BETTINA, I CAN CERTAINLY TAKE
THAT.
YEAH.
YOU KNOW, IT REALLY GENES.
BOB BE A DOUG WERE IN SPACE FOR
COUPLE OF MOPS, AND SO, THEY
WILL COME BACK HERE AND THEY
WILL START DOING SPECIAL TRAIN
SO YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WAN
MATTER OF A FEW DAYS OR WEEKS
THERE.
THEY ARE BACK TO NORMAL.
SO IT VARIES A LITTLE BIT FROM
DREW CRU AND GET THEM BACK HEAR
AND START DOING SOME SPECIAL
EXERCISE AND SPECIAL THINGS TO
GET THEM READAPTED TO THE
GRAVITY.
SO FAR THEY ARE DOING WELL SO
WE'RE LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING
THEM BACK HERE IN HOUSTON.
>> WE TAKE THE NEXT QUESTION.
>> THANKS FOR GOING THIS.
A QUESTION FOR GWYNNE.
BASED ON THE RESULTS SO FAR, HOW
MANY MISSIONS BEFORE YOU SEE
FLYING PRIVATE CREWANCE PLANNING
TO REUSE CREW 2 OR REUSE THE
CAPSULE TOLL CRAW I WAS
WONDERING IF CUE BREAK DOWN THE
PROCESS THOR AND HOW I GUESS
NASA CAME TO AGREE TO REUSING
THESE CAPSULES AFTER THEY SPLASH
DOWN AND THEN, JIM, I WOULD LOVE
TO HEAR YOUR TAKE ON THAT AS
WELL.
WHAT KIND OF HAPPENED TO MAKE
THE CREW CAP SOUL REUSABLE FOR
HUMANS.
THANKS SO MUCH.
>> SO APPRECIATE THE QUESTION.
OBVIOUSLY, WE ARE TRYING TO
REALLY CHANGE THE PARADIGM OF
HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT IN ORDER TO DO
THAT YOU NEED MAKE SURE THE
CAPSULES ARE RAPIDLY AND READILY
REUSABLE AND WE HAVE BEEN WORK
ON THIS WITH OUR LAUNCH
CUSTOMERS AND WITH NASA FOR
PROBABLY HAVE A DECADE SORE AND
THE DRAGON 2 VEHICLE ITSELF WAS
DESIGNED WITH FAR GREATER
CERTAINTY AND ENSURING IT CAN
CAN BE REUSED AND THE CAPSULE
DAYS SOONED FOR FIVE TO TEN
MIXES, AND WE HAVE TO SEE HOW
THINGS WORKED OUT AFTER WE
EXAMINED THE CAPSULE WHEN IT
GETS BACK TO PORT AND BACK TO
THE CAPE TO OUR FACILITIES
THERE, BUT, BUT BASED ON THE
TELEMETRY AND ANY VILL IM CASE
WES HAD SO FAR.
THE VEHICLE LOOKS LIKE IT INS
GOOD SHAPE.
AND I WILL LET STEVE AND JIM
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE
JOURNEY ON GETTING REUSABILITY
ABOUT ITS WITH, IT WAS PART OF
OUR ORIGINAL BID FOR THE
COMMERCIAL CREW PROGRAM.
>> WE TOOK A LOOK THAT DATA AND
CONTINUING TO LOOK THROUGH THAT
AND FOR US, IT LOOKED LIABILITY
WAS REPORTABLE THING TO GO DO.
I THINK PART OF THE QUESTION WAS
HOW LONG DOES TIGHT REFERB SHALL
THE VEHICLE, IT TAKES ABOUT FOUR
MONTHS OR SO SO WE HAVE A LOT OF
MARGIN GETTINGING INTO THE FLIGT
FOR CREW 2 AND THE VEHICLE WILL
START ACTUALLY AS SOON AS IT
GETS BACK TO AREA 59 AT THE CAPE
AND GO THROUGH THE MAINTENANCE
AND WE'LL HAVE A NASA AS PART OF
THAT AND PRESS SINCE AREA 59 AND
WE'LL POLO ALONG WITH EVERY STEP
OF THAT PAINENCE AND ALSO,
RELOOK AT THE CERTIFICATION TO
MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NOTHING
ON TOUR AND WE'LL DO AS THIS WE
GET THE ABOUT BUILD UP TO THE
CREW ONE LAUNCH HERE IN THE
PHYSICAL AND PAQUE SURE WE HAVE
OVERLAP BETWEEN CREW ONE AND
CREW TWO TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE
ACCESS TO ISS ANDING THAT WITH
JOEL AND THE ISS PROGRAM.
A NOT IN EVERY CASE, BUT IN MOST
CASES, AND SPACEX HAS PROVE THEN
CHANNEL OFFING THAT.
SO WE ARE LOOKING FOR WARD TO
DREW WITH THE COUNT STILL A CAME
HOME.
AS STEVE SAID, THERE IS A LOT OF
TO BE DOPE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN
AND A LOT OF EVEILVATION THAT
NEED DONEES.
AS SHE SAID BASED ON WHAT WE
SEE, IT LOOKS LOOKER IN GOOD
SHAPE.
>> GREAT.
OUR NEXT WE COULD COMES FROM
MARSHA DUNN.
>> I AM WONDERING IF YOU FOE,
ONCE THE DEORBIT BURN HAD
OCCURRED, WAS IT PRETTY TENSE
INSIDE FLIGHT CONTROL THERE AT
SPACEX PROP SITTING NEXT TO ELON
MUSK AND, WHAT WAS IT LIKE FOR
HIM AND FOR YOU DURING THOSE
FINAL MINUTES OF THE FLIGHT AND
ESPECIALLY RIGHT AFTER
SUCCESSFUL SPLASH DOWN?
CUE DESCRIBE THOSE MOMENTS,
PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
>> SO NO QUESTION, IT WAS
ENORMOUS RELIEF AFTER MONTHS OF
XINE TY MAKING SURE WE COULD
BRING BOB AND DOUG BACK HOME
SAFE PLY, BUT SPLASH DOWN WAS
REALLY BEGINNING.
WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT BOB
AND DOUG EXITED THE VEHICLE
SAFELY AND LOOKED GOOD.
AND SO, A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE
CHEERING AFTER SPLASH DOWN.
I GOT AT I LOVE CONGRATULATIONS
ON MY CELL FEN AND E-MAILS, BUT
WE WERE NOT DONE UNTIL WE GOT
BOB AND DOUG OUT OF THE CAPSULE.
>> HE HOPPED AND FLIGHT AND GO
TO HOUSTON AND MEET UP WITH THE
ASTRONAUTS AND THEN I STILL HAVE
A CREW HERE IN MISSION CONTROL
MAKING SURE THAT BOB AND DOUG
GOT SAFELY ON THE HELICOPTER AND
WILL GET SAFELY BACK TO SHORE.
SOP NOT TEF'S JOB IS DONE YET,
BUT THEN, IT WAS INITIAL RELIEF,
FOR SURE.
I WAS GREATER LEAF WHEN I SAW BE
ABOUT AND DOUG COME OUT OF THE
CAPSULE SMILING THUMBS UP AND
LOOKING CHEERFUL THAT WAS GOOD
MOMENT.
>> THANKS SO MUCH.
OUR NEXT QUESTION WERE ERIC
BURGER.
>> YEAH HASH HIGH, THANK FOR
DOING THIS.
'S QUESTION FOR GWNNE WHEN
FALCON ONE FAILED ON THE THIRD
PLIGHT.
THAT IS 12 YEARS.
SINCE THEN, LAUNCHED THREE
DIFFERENT ROCKET, A COUPLE OF
SPACECRAFTANCE PUT TWO PEOPLE
INTO SPACE AND BROUGHT THEM
BACK.
12 HEAR HERES IS NOT A LONG
PERIOD OF TIME.
CAN YOU ROZ SES SOME OF THE
TRANSFORMATION OF SPACEX HAS HAP
PERSONNED DURING THE TIMEFRAME?
>> YOU FOE,ER, I 12 YEARS SEEMS
LIKE A REALLY LONG TIME TO ME.
CANDIDLY, IT IS HARD TO PROCESS.
THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME OF
THAT.
YOU KNOW, I NEVER SHY AWAY ARE
THE FAILURES.
THEY ARE INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY
OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN THIS
COMPANY HAS LEARNED A LOT.
I HAVE TO SAY WE WOULD NOT BE
THE COMPANY THAT WE ARE TODAY.
WE WOULD NOT HAVE ACHIEVED THIS
GOAL WITHOUT THE SUPPORT THE
MORAL SUPPORT, THE FINANCIAL
SUPPORT, THE TECHNICAL SUPPORT
THAT NASA HAS GIVEN OFFERS THE
YEARS IN AUGUST OF 200 WHEN WE
STARTED WORKING CLOSE WHETHER I
NASA.
SO THOUGH IT SEEMS LOOK A LONG
TIME.
WE HAVE DONE A LOT IN THAT
TIMEFRAME AND YOU KNOW, WHAT IS
SO GREAT, WE HAVE HAVE DONE SO
MUCH OF THIS IN PARTNERSHIP KIND
OF HAND-IN-HAND WITH NASA.
SO IT IS A GREAT DAY TO SELL
BREATH NOT ONLY BOB AND DUKING'S
RETURN AND THEY BEING THE HEROS
THEY ARE TOON CELEBRATE THE
EXTRAORDINARY RELATIONSHIP WE
HAVE WITH NASA.
>> HATE BEEN A GREAT
RELATIONSHIP.
WE HAVE A QUESTION FROM SOCIAL
MEDIA.
NOR THE CREW ONE TEAM, HOW WILL
THE ULTRATRAINING FOR YOU SO
CLOSE TO LAUNCH IT DID AND HOW
DOES IT IMPACT WHAT DID YOU ISS?
>> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ACTUAL.
THE DATA CLOAKED IS GOING TO
HELP US TO MOVE FORWARD TO OUR
LAUNCH DATE, BUT AGAIN WE GOT TO
REFURBISH THIS VEHICLE AND GIT
READY FOR CREW 2 SO WE HAVE TIME
TO HAND OVER.
AND SO WE ARE READY.
WE'RE READY TO GO THOUGH SPATIAL
STATION AND VERY CLOSE TO FLY
THE DRAGON TO LOWER EARTH ORBIT
AND IMPORTANT WE TAKE SOME TIME
TO ENJOY THE ACCOMPLISHMENT AND
CELEBRATE WITH BOB AND DUKING'S
FAM RAIN IN NAS AND SPACEX TEAM
AND TO BE IN THE MOMENT,
APPRECIATE ALL THE AMAZING
THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED HERE.
IT IS A GREAT TIME TO BE IN MA
NASA.
>> ANYTHING ELSE HOW THINK
INFORMATION IMPACTS FUTURE
MISSIONS AT THE IS SIOUX SO GOOD
QUESTION.
YOU KNOW, WE TOOK THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME
HABITABILITY STUDIES WHILE THE
VEHICLE WAS TAPE OFFED TO ISS SO
THIS VEHICLE, AS EVERYONE KNOWS,
IT CAME UP WITH TWO CREWMEMBERS,
FOUR CREWMEMBERS UP THERE FOR
THE NEXT VEHICLE AND SO, WE
DIDSOME TESTING ON THAT.
AND LEARNED A FEW THINGS AND
LEARNED TESTING ON WHERE TO STOW
ITEMMANCE HOW TO LIVE IN THAT
VEHICLE, SO JUST A NUMBER OF
ITEMS WE TOOK A LOT OF, WE TOOK
ADVANTAGE OF HAVING THE VEHICLE
THERE FOR 90 DAYANCE THEN, THAT
WILL HELP US MAKE A BETTER
VEHICLE IN THE SENSE OF BETTER
OPERATIONS FOR CREW ONE AND CREW
TWO IN SUBSEQUENT VEHICLES.
THANK YOU, CONTROL.
WELL, WE'LL GO BACK TO THE
REPORTERS IN THE CUE.
WE'LL GO NEXT TO STEVEN CLARK.
>> HUGH.
THANK FOR TAKING THE QUESTION.
A QUESTION FOR GWN THEY.
SUSPECTS YOU SOCIAL SECURITY YOU
ARE USING THE MORE AND MORE THE
CREW DRAGON VEHICLES, I AM
CURIOUS, DO YOU PLAN ON BUILDING
A FLEET OF VEHICLES GOING FOR
HARD?
HOW MANY DO YOU THINK YOU WILL
HEED HAVE IN YOUR ROTATION
ANOTHER DEMAND BOTH FROM NASA
AND FROM PRIVATE ASTRONAUTS
PASSENGERS GOING FOR WITH AND
AND QUESTION FOR THE CREW ONE
PLIGHT.
THINK YOU ARE THE FIRST NASA
ASTRONAUT SINCE JOHN ROUNDING,
IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, TO FLY ON
THREE DIFFERENT LAUNCH VEHICLES
WITH THE EXPERIENCE ON SOYUZ AND
THE SPACE SHUTTLE AND CURIOUS IF
YOU COULD COME PAR THE
EXPERIENCES ON THE TWO VEHICLES
RIDING INTO ORBIT.
HOW YOU THINK FALCON NINE CAN
COMPARE GOING INTO IT.
THANKS.
>> THANKS.
A GREAT QUESTION.
YES.
AM HONORED TO FLY MISSION AND
ALONG WITH MY EXPERIENCE WITH
THE SPACE SHUTTLE AND THE
EMPLOYEES.
THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT I AM
LEARNING A LOT FROM THE PILOTS
IN AND STARTED LAST FEBRUARY.
THIS IS GOING BACK TO SQUARE
ONE.
EVERYTHING IS FOR MY SAFETY, AND
SO EVERY DAY, AND YOU GO ON
SAYING WE HAVE THE CREW.
MY SMALL CONTRIBUTIONS A GREAT
EXPERIENCE AND WE HAVE A
DIFFERENT VIEW AND DIFFERENT
BACKGROUNDS AND RESILIENCE FOR
THE CRU AND SHOULD BE QUICK.
>> THANKS.
>> OF COURSE WE WANT TO WAIT TO
SEE HOW MANY WE HAVE TO BUILD
BEFORE WE, YOU KNOW, BEFORE WELL
SAY WE'RE DONE BUILDING OUT THE
FLEET.
HE WANT TO SEE HOW THIS VEHICLE
LOOKS AFTER WE GET THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SPINNING IT AND
SUCH.
WE DO ANTICIPATE BUILDING OUT
THE FLEET.
>> THANK YOU.
WE'LL AWAY BACK TO THE LINES.
NEXT IS JACKIE GODDARD.
>> MY QUESTION IS FOR THE CREW
ONE FOLKS.
MIKE SHANNON AND I WONDERED IF
YOU COULD DESCRIBE HOW YOU
WATCHED THAT SPLASHDOWN AND WHAT
YOU WENT THROUGH EMOTIONALLY AS
YOU WATCHED IT AND WHAT IT MEANS
TO YOU KNOWING THAT YOUR PLIGHT
DEPENDED ON THE SUCCESS OF THIS
ONE.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK FOR.
WE WERE TOGETHER IN THE CONTROL
CENTERP HERE IN HOUSTON WATCH
THE SPLASH DOWN.
WAS SOCKS KITING.
I WOULD SAY IT IS GREET SAY IT
WAS EMOTIONAL EVEN FOR ALL OF
US.
TO BE ABLE TO WATCH OUR
COLLEAGUES OUR FRIENDS COME HOME
SAFELY IS ALWAYS EMOTIONAL EVEN
THEN TO SEE HOW SMOOTHLY
EVERYTHING WENT DURING THEIR
SPLASHDOWN AND THEIR IN TRY.
SO WE'RE EXCITED THAT IT WENT AS
SMOOTHLY AS IT DID BECAUSE NOW,
THAT POINTS TO THE SUCCESS OF
HOW H YOU OUR MISSION WILL BE
WHEN WE GET A CHANCE TO WATCH.
>> THANK YOU, SHAN ON.
WE'LL GO TO BUSINESS INSIDER.
>> THANK YOU FOR TAKE THE
QUESTION.
SO THIS IS SPACEX'S FIRST FLIGHT
AND YOU HAVE TONS OF DATA TO GO
THROUGH AND THEN I AM CURIOUS
WAS THE MOST SURPRISING THEN
YOUR TEAM HAS LEARNED ON THE
MOTION IS FAR AND IN RELATEDLY
IS THERE ANYONE THING YOU CHANGE
FOR CREW ONE FOR THESE GUYS ON
THE CALL?
NO, I DO.
I HAVE EXTRAORDINARY TEAM HERE
AT SPACEX I DON'T WANT TO, I
DON'T WANT TO UNDERMINE ANY OF
THAT, BUT I THINK, PROBABLY THE
GREATEST SURPRISE IS THAT THIS
MISSION WAS AS SMOOTH AS IT IS
AND LUCK I DN WANT TO TAKE
ANYTHING I WAY FROM THE TEAM AND
BUT THIS WAS DEMONSTRATION
MISSION AND THIS WAS NOT THE
FIRST FLIGHT OF DRAGON TWO BUT
THIS VEHICLE HAD A LOT, HAD A
LOT OF CAPABILITY ON IT THAT WAS
NOT FLOWN DURING THE DEM ME AND
DEMO ONE SIGNED THINK, WE'RE
SURPRISED MINORLY SURPRISED BUT
OBVIOUSLY, INCREDIBLY PLEASED
THAT THIS WENT SMOOTHLY AS IT
DID AND THEN, THEN THERE IS NO
QUESTION WE LEARNED SOME THINGS
ALONG THE WAY.
THAT WE WILL WANT TO ROLL INTO
THE CREW ONE FLAKE AND WE KNOW
ABOUT PREFLIGHT BE A A LOT OF
PRESS AND LACKING TO HAVE
UPGRADES THERE TO MAKE SURE THE
VEHICLE ON ORBIT FOR THE SIX MON
AND THE SOLAR ARRAYS.
AND BERTHA WE ANTICIPATED AND
 TO COMPLETE THE MISSION
ORIGINAL PLANNED MISSION WE HAD
A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF MARGIN TO
FLAIR SO RELEARNED SOME THINGS
AND MAKE SURE WE INCLUDE THOSE
UNCREW ONE.
>> FAR AS REAL-TIME TODAY.
INSTEAD OF TWO GN RITOR ON THOSE
RESCUE BOATS WE HAVE THREE DEN
GENERATORS WHICH IS ONE PRIMARY
SHALL TWO BACKUPS THAT IS ONE
EXAMPLE KIND OF A SMALL THING
THAT WE'LL WANT TO DO GOING
FORWARD.
NEXT WE HAVE ANDREA FROM THE
HOUSTON CHRONICLE.
AUTOS HUGH, THANKS FOR HAVING
US.
IT WAS GREAT WATCHING.
WE CAN'T WAIT TO YOU HAVE BACK
IN HOUSE.
SO SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW
LANDING COMPARED TO THE APOLLO
CAPSULES?
WITH AS THERE NEW TECHNOLOGY OR
WAS IT SIM FLAR THANK YOU.
OS WAR IT SIMILAR?
THANK YOU.
>> I WILL TAKE A CRACK AT THIS
ONE.
I WOULD SAY THE LANDING COMPARED
TO THE APOLLO SPACECRAFT WAS HE
VERY SIMILAR.
>> LANKING A VEHICLE IN THE
WATER REQUIRES SIMILAR KINDS OF
CHUTE FORCE THE DRONES WHICH
STABILIZE THE VEHICLE AND THEN
THE MAIN PARACHUTES ARE R
SIMILAR.
FOUR MAIN PARACHUTES AND THEN
ALL IN ALL.
I WOULD SAY THAT THE TECHNOLOGY
IS SIMILAR AND THE VEHICLE
ITSELF COMPARED TO APOLLO YOU
COMPARE THIS DRAGON, WHAT AN
INCREDIBLE SPACECRAFT, VERY MUCH
AUTOMATED SPACECRAFT, AND THE
CREW, THE CREW FROM THE TIME
FROM THE DEORBIT BURN ALL THE
WAY TO PLASHDOWN AND LANDING
DOESN'T HAVE TO TAKE VERY MANY
ABS ON THEIR OWN.
THE VEHICLE DOES IT BY ITSELF.
IT IS ATOP MOUSE.
1:00 ALL IN ALL, YOU KNOW, IT IS
SIMILAR KIND OF A LANDING.
WE WILL GO TO SPACE NEWS.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
CORN LATIONS.
AND AND TALK ABOUT THIS A LITTLE
BIT AND A LITTLE BIT MORE
DETAILS.
AND DEM POE TWO AND FOU IT IS
BACK.
AND LAUNCH THE CREW ONE MISSION.
THANKS.
>> WE WILL DO AL FEW THINGS.
ONE, WE'LL REVIEW THE ALL THE
TELEMETRY AND THE GRAT THE
DRAGON.
WE HAVE DONE THAT FOR THE WHOLE
FLIGHT TO DATE, WE'LL DO IT NOW
FOR UNDOCKING ALL THE WAY
THROUGH SPLASHDOWN AND RECOVERY
SO WE WILL HAVE ENGINEERS.
WE DO IT JOINTLY WITH SPACEX AND
GO THROUGH ALL THE DATA FOR EACH
OF THE VARIOUS SYSTEM AND THE
LIFE SUPPORT AND PROPULSION AND
SO FORTH AND GO THROUGH THAT
DATA TO MAKE SURE THERE US
NOTHING THAT IS THERE.
AND SECONDLY LOOK AT THE
PARACHUTES.
THE PARACHUTES IS A THE
IMPORTANT SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE
AND SPACEX WAS DOING A GREAT JOB
OF RECOVERING THOSE CHUTES TODAY
AND WE'LL TAKE THOSE BACK AND
ANALYZE THOSE AND LOOK AT IT TO
SEE THEY ARE PERFORMING WELL.
AND THEN, THIRDLY, SPACEX IS
GOING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE APART.
ONE OF THE BENEFITS I WOULD SAY
IS THE FACT THAT WE'LL TAKE SOME
OF THE, SOME OF THE VEHICLE
APART.
SOME OF THE NOSE CONE COME OFF
AND HEAT SHIELD COME OFF T. WE
START IN TO SPECK AND SOMETIMES
WE CAN LEARN THAT AND DO THAT
INSPECTION THEN WE'LL PUT THAT
DATA TOGETHER AND HEAD TO THE
CERTIFICATION VIEW.
AND PROBABLY TOWARD THE EBB OF
THE MONTH EARLY NEXT MONTH.
>> WE'LL AWAY TO MICHAEL FROM
CNBC.
>> HI.
GREAT TO TALK TO YOU.
YON CON WERE LAYSES TO EVERYONE,
ESPECIALLY BOB AND DOUG.
  I WANTED TO NOTE THAT BOTH
WERE HELPED OUT OF A CAPSULE AND
I WAS WONDERING IF THAT THIS IS
PROTOCOL SPACE AND SPACEX HAVE
IN PLACE OR FUTURE ASTRONAUTS BE
COMFORTABLE OF THIS TO BE ABE TO
STEP OUT THEMSELVES.
THANKS.
>> WILL TAKE THAT QUESTION.
IT IS TYPICAL THEY NEED A LITTLE
BIT OF ASAINS COME OUT.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE HUMAN
BODY WHEN IT HAS BEEN IN SPACE.
BE ABOUT AND DOUG IN SPACE FOR
63 DAYS.
AND YOU CAN LIVE AND WORK VERY
WELL IN SPACE WHEN YOU COME BACK
AND THES A MOSS SPHERE AND PULL
PULLED ABOUT FOUR TIMES THEN THE
GRAVITIES TUG ON THEM A LITTLE
BIT WHEN THEY COME BACK.
SO IT TAKES  THE BOD DAY LITTLE
WHILE TO ADAPT AND IT TAKES TIME
TO ADAPT TO THE GRAVITY AGAIN
SOON THAT IS WHAT YOU SEE WITH
BE ABOUT AND DOUG TODAY AND IT
IS VERY TYPICAL SITUATION IN
PECK THAT FOR MACHINE MANY OF
OUR MISSIONS THAT THEN LONG
DURATION MISSIONS WITH ABOUT A
SIX-MONTH DURATION.
REPORTER: MY QUESTION IS TO
JOEL.
I AM CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT THIS IS
GOK TO MEAN OPERATIONALLY FOR
THE SPACE STATION TO HAVE FOUR
PEOPLE PERMANENTLY ABOARD THE
U.S. SEGMENT.
ARE YOU GOING TO NEED MORE
RESUPPLY FLIGHTS?
TALKED ABOUT HOW YOU WILL NEED
MORE GOING UP AND COMING BACK.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE FOUR
PEOPLE UP HERE INSTEAD OF THREE
ON A PEPPER NENT BASIS?
>> S SO WE'RE PLANNING TO HAVE
FOUR TO FIVE CARGO MISSION AND
RESUPPLY MISSIONS TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE TAX IN THE
BEAUTY OF HAVING THE FOURTH CREW
IS THAT PERSON'S TIME IS GOING
TO BE 100% DEDICATED TO
UTILIZATION AND RESEARCH AND
TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND SO,
TODAY, WE AVERAGE ABOUT 35 HOURS
A WEEK IN THAT AREA.
AND WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE THIS
TO 7 HOURS A WEEK, ONCE WE GET
FOUR CREWMEMBERS UP.
THAT FOURTH PERSON WON'T BE
DEDICATED TO IT BUT THE TIME HE
BRINGS TO THE TEAM THAT TIME WIN
DEDICATED TO THAT AND LOOKING
FORWARD TO IT ANDING BE ARE
PLANNING FOR WHALE AND HAD SOME
OPPORTUNITIES TOES DO FOUR CREWS
AS YOU ARE WEAR IN THE PAST AND
WE HAVE TAKE THAN TIME TO LEARN
AND PLAN FORWARD.
SO THE RUP COMING SPACEX
MISSIONANCE THE UPCOMING BOEING
MISSIONS WE ARE EXCITED IN READY
TO ROCK 'N ROLL.
>> ROCK AND ROLL.
>> OUR NEXT QUESTION COMES COMEM
MIKE AHL SPACE.COM.
HE AM CURIOUS.
WHAT KIND OF COVERINGS YOU HAVE
WANT TO HAVEZ WITH BE ABOUT AND
DOUG MAYBE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ASK THEM
BILLION HOW ENDEAVOR HANDLED OR
HOW IT FLU.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TALK TO THEM
ABOUT.
>> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.
TALK TO THEM BILLION THE LAUNCH
AND THAT WAS ACTUAL LAY PEAT
TIME, TIMELY BECAUSE WE WERE
ABLE TO DO IT WHEN IT WAS FRESH
IN NAIN AND THEY TALKED ABOUT
THE VARIOUS STAGES OF THE LUNCH
AND WHAT IT FELT LIKE AND EVEN
ACTUALLY SOME OF THE POINT ON
THOSE PAD WHEN THEY WERE SITTING
THERE AND FUELING THE ROCKETS
AND SOME OF THE FEELINGEST THIS
HAD THERE.
SO AROUNDLY THAT WAS GOOD AND
GREAT TALK TO THEM THAT QUICKLY
AND HOPEFULLY THE TUBE TO DO
THAT AGAIN HERE IN THE POST
LANDING AGAIN TRYING TO TALK TO
THEM WHILE STILL FRESH IN THE
MINE AND OF COURSE WE LIKE TO
HEAR ALL ABOUT WHAT IN TRY WAS
LIKE AND YOU FOE, THE FEELINGS
HOW MUCH THEY CAME ON.
WITHIN THE CHOOSE OPEN THAT IS
TIME INIC TIME DURING THE FLYING
AND SO CURIOUS THAT EXPERIENCE
WAS LIKE.
THEN OF COURSE, YOU CAN IMAGINE,
WELL, WE ARE CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT
IT LIKE TO SPLASH DOWN ON THE
WATER IN THE WHAT IT LIKES
AFTERWARD AND WE ARE HOPING EBB
PUT IN THEIRIEST FOR A DAY LIKE
TODAY WHEN IT OURS TURN TO LAND
BECAUSE THE WATER LOOKED VERY
SMOOTH.
IT WAS BUTTE AND HOPPING THAT
GET THE SAME THING.
>> YEAH.
THE WATER DID LACK LIKE GLASS.
THE NEXT WE GO TO EMERY KELLY.
>> THANKS FOR DID DOING THIS.
I WANTED TO POSSIBLY GET GWYNNE
THOUGHTS AND MAYBE IT IS MORE
REACTION IF YOU WELL THE
SPACECRAFT THAT RIDE OF TODAY.
BOB TRUSTED IT FOR HIS MISSION
AND BOB TRUST NOTE IT WIFE'S
MISSION WHICH IS IMPRESSIVE AND
WONDERING IF YOU CAN TALK ABOUT
THAT A LITTLE BIT.
YEAH.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT
THAT YOU KNOW MEGAN IS FIRST AND
FOREMOST AN ASTRO MAUT WHEN IT
COPS TO PERSPECTIVE AAM SHOO YOU
ARE HER AND BOB AND HER AND BOB
HAVE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.
PERSON THAT THE VEHICLE THAT BOB
FLEW IN TODAY.
PLACE FLIGHT IS HARD.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE
KINDER STANES WE HAVE A LOY A
LOT OF WORK TO DO.
WE CAN DO EVEN BETTER JOB.
IF WE FLY IN THE CAPSULE.
>> OUR NEXT QUESTION COMES FROM
SAMANTHA FROM L.A. TIMES.
I WANTED TO SEE IF MAYBE THIS IS
FOR GYNNE OR STEVE.
TALK ABOUT WHAT WERE DEKED
OUTSIDE AND LIMITS AND ANYTHING
THAT YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING AT OR
ANYTHING THAT MAY NEED TO BE
CHACKED FOR THE NEXT FLIGHT?
CHANNELED ANOTHER NEXT FLIGHT.
I AM CAN START AND THEN YOU CAN
ADD.
NO I, I IS A COMMON ARE PRACTICE
WITH ANY SPACECRAFT.
WE DID IT WITH A SPACE SHUTTLE
AFTER LANDING AND GO AROUND AND
SNIFF THRUSTTORS SEE IF THREAN
WAS ANY SLAPPERS FROM THE
THRUSTERS AM WE DID THAT TODAY
WITH DRAGON.
AND WE DID HAVE A SLIGHT HIT ON
THE SENSOR FOR THE OXIDIZER AND
THE NITROGEN AND THINK THERE MAY
BE SOME MECHANISM WHERE IT IS
GETTING ENTRAPPED TO THE SERVICE
SECTION FROM THRUSTER FIRINGS WE
GOT LACK THROUGH THE DATA AND
THIS IS SPECIALLITION ON MY
PART.
WE'LL FEG GURE OUT A WAY TO
HANDLE IT BETTER ON THE NEXT
SLIGHT FLIGHT AND STARTING WITH
THE PERCH Z WE GET ON THE
VEHICLE AND IT JUST, IT IS A
NORMAL THING.
WE HAVE HAD SIMILAR THINGS WITH
OTHER VEHICLE SWIES NOT SAY THIS
WAS A BIG DEAL AT ALL AND
SOMETHING THEY TOOK EXTRA
PRECAUTION WITH TO MAKE SURE
THEY ARE PERSONAL ON THE SHIP
WERE SAFE AND BE ABOUT AND DOUG
AND LOOK AT THE DATA ABOUT DATA
TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO BETTER THE
NEXT PLATE.
WE WILL GET HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS
AND HUNDREDS TO LACK AT.
THE FLIGHT GOES WELL.
ONE OF THE THINGS WE DO IN
SPACEFLIGHT.
WE POUR OVER THE DATA TO TRY
LEARN IT FROM TO MAKE IT BETTER.
SPACEFLIGHT IS HARD AND CAN BE
UNFORGIVING SO YOU TRY TO LOOK
AT MINUTE CHANGES IN DATA AND
THE DATA FROM THE FLIGHT AND
LEARN FROM THAT AND TRY DO
BETTER.
YEAH WE MADE SURE THAT BASED ON
THE TELEMETRY THAT WE HAD THAT
WE DIDN'T FIND ANY SYSTEM
BREECHES ANDED A THEM SNIFF THE
THRUSTERS IN AS STEVE MENTIONED
WE DID INITIATE SA SERVICE
SECTION PURGE AROUND DO THAT
SOONER NEXT TIME AND UNCREDIBLY
CALM DAY AND NOT A LOT OF WIND
BLOWING ON THE CAPSULE AS WILL
BE BLOWING NORTHERN FUTURE.
WAS GOOD LESSON FOR US.
WE TOOK AN EXTREMELY
CONSERVATIVE APPROACH HERE.
WE COULD HAVE BROUGHT THEM OUT
SOONER THAN WE DID BUT MAJOR
MAID SHORE THE INSIDE OF THE
DRAGON AND THE CABIN WAS NOT
EXPERIENCING ANY FUMES AND LET'S
TAKE OUR TIME AND MAKE
SUREDERING THE RIGHT THING HERE
AND TAKE THE TIME YOU NEED AND
WERE NOT IN A HURRY.
IT WAS GOOD LESSON SOONER.
WE MAY NOT SEE IT IN THE FUTURE.
I THINK WE DID THE RIGHT THING
AS KIND OF HIGH ANXIETY DRIVING
THAT IT WAS.
I REALLY WANTED TO SEE BOB A
DOUG COME OUT.
WE DID THE RHYMING THING.
BEFORE WE OPEN THE HATCH.
I WOULD ADD THAT JUST MODIFY
WHAT STEVE SAID AND HE MENTIONED
AND IT IS NOT TRUE AND WHAT IS
NOT COMMON APPROACH THE VEHICLE
AND AT CLOSE RANGE WITH MY TRO
GEN IN THE ATMOSPHERE THAT IS
NOT SOMETHING   THAT IS GOOD.
WE NEED MAKE SURE WE'RE WARNING
PEOPLE NOT TO GET CLOSE TO THE
SPATE CRAFT IN THE FUTURE.
>> OUR NEXT QUESTION COMES FROM
ZACHARY HALL FROM SPACEX.COM.
>> SURE.
SO KIND OF ON THE SAME TOKEN,
CLEARLY AN EDUCATION TAUNT FOR
THE PUBLIC AND WITH SPLASHDOWNS
IN PLACES WHERE THERE HAS NOT
BEEN IN 45 YEARS TO STAY BACK
AUN POE, WATCH THE STREAM AND
LEARNING ABOUT WHAT WAS WAS
DANGEROUS ABOUT IT.
I AM CURIOUS, THERE IS SORT OF A
SAFE VIEWING DISTANCE THE PUBLIC
SHOULD UNDERSTAND AND VIEW FROM
AND THEN ALSO, KIND OF ON THE
SAME IDEA OF INCLUSIVE TY AND
THE INVOLVEMENT IN SPACE AND
WHAT IS KIND OF THE BETTER WAY
TO CHANNEL YOUR EXCITEMENT OR
ACTIVITIES AND NONE MIDDLE OF A
PANDEMIC AND THE PARADE WOULD
PROBABLY NOT BE APPROPRIATE BUT
IS THERE SOMETHING THAT COULD BE
DONE TO KIND OF SELL PRIT THE
MOMENT AND ALSO INVOLVE THE
PUBLIC.
>> YEAH.
MAYBE I WILL LET YOU TALK ABOUT
THE PUBLIC.
WE ARE CELEBRATING THE MOMENT.
WE INVITED EVERYBODY TO JOIN US
ON-LINE AND TO SHARE IN THE
MOMENT AND ALL OF THE DIFFERENT
SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND
SPACEX DID A GREAT JOB THE
BROADCAST SO I THINK THERE IS A
LOT OF WAYS WE CAN DO IT.
BUT CERTAINLY APPROACH THING
SPACECRAFT IS NOT AMONG THOSE
WASTES.
>> WHICH ARING ABOUT TO BE
WRAPPING UP IN A FEW MINUTES BUT
LET'S TAKE ONE OF THE LAST
QUESTIONS FROM JACKIE, CNN.
>> THANKS FOR DOING THIS AND
CONGRATULATION.
SO I WAS CONSIDER GRIS WE COULD
GET IN SIGHT INTO WHAT HAS FOR
BE ABOUT AND DOUG OVER THE
INCOMES FEW HOURS AND DAYS ARE
THEY GOING TO GET TO GO WHOM THE
FAMILY TONIGHT AND HOW MIGHT THE
PAN DING CHANGE HOW THEY
SPLASHDOWN REHABILITATION GOES.
>> I CAN START OFF BE ABOUT AND
DOUG HAVE ALREADY LEFT THE SHIP
AND THEY HAVE BEENRANCE PORTED
BY HELICOPTER PENSACOLA.
THEY WILL COME BACK HERE TO JSC
THE AIRCRAFT AND LATER ON THIS
EVENING.
THEY WILL GET MEDICAL EVALUATION
AND I THINK, I AM NOT QUITE SURE
WHETHER THE PLAN IS TO STAY,
STAY ON SITE OR MAYBE GO BACK TO
THE FAMILIES AND CERTAINLY, A
LOT OF PRECAUTIONS WERE MADE TO
PROTECT FOR THE PANDEMIC AND
EVERYBODY ON THE SHIP WAS
>> WITHIN FRAYED THE CALL THIS
EXPERIENCE FROM OVER 52 DAYS ON
ORBIT WHAT WERE YOU REFERRING
TO?
>> THEY WERE TODAY.
WE HAD BACKUP GENERATOR AND THE
NAVIGATOR STOPPED WORKING BEFORE
WE SET SILL AND SO NEXT TIME WE
ARE GOING TO HAVE TWO BACKUP
GENERATORS.
WE MOBILIZE ANOTHER ONE.
MAKE SURE IT GOT TO BE ABOUT AND
DOUG AND WE HAD THAT VEHICLE
FLANKED WITH OTHER SHIP AND
COMFORTABLE BUT THAT IS ONE AND
THEN, THEN, THE DISCUSSION THAT
WE WERE JUST HAVING ON THE
OXIDIZER ON THE OUTSIDE IS OF
DRAGON WE WILL WORK ON THAT APP
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP THE
ASTRONAUTS AND THE FOLKS AROUND
THE CAPSULE SAFE.
THOSE ARE ONLY TWO I THINK WE
HAD MISSION ON ORBIT WAS
INCREDIBLY KIND OF QUIET AND I
CAN RECALL OFFHAND WHETHER THERE
WERE ANOMALIES THERE.
THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SMALL ONES
BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING THAT
STANDS OUT.
>> THANK.
YOU WITH THAT WE'LL TURN IT OVER
TO JIM BRIDENSTINE FOR CLOSING
REMARKS.
>> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU THIS BETTINA, THANK
YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO PARTIES
PAID IN THE.
A SPECIAL THANKS TO BOB AND DOUG
AND THEIR FAMILIES THE ENTIRE
NASA TEAM AND OF COURSE THE
SPACEX TEAM FOR WHETHER AN
AMAZING DAY IT WAS IS TO K DAY.
SOMEBODY ASKED ABOUT WHAT SIZE
OF A FLEET DO YOU NEED AND DO
YOU EXPECT TO GROW IT AND OF
COURSE AS A PRIVATE COMPANY
SPACEX IS LOOKING AT WHAT THE
DEA MAN IS.
I WILL TELL YOU WHAT OUR GOAL IS
AT NASA.
OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT
THERE IS A BIG DEMAND IN THE
FUTURE IN A WOULD LOVE TO SEE A
PLOT OF CREW DRAGON SERVICE JUST
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
BUT ALSO COMMERCIAL SPACE
STATIONS WHICH IS WHY WE'RE WORK
SOG HARD EVERY DAY TO COME
MERRILLIZE THE ACTIVITIES IN
LOWER EARTH ORBIT WHETHER IT IS
INDUSTRIALIZED BUY OH MEDICINE
OR ADVANCED MATERIALS AND THERE
IS A LOFT HOPE FOR HUMANITY ON
EARTH IS ABOUT AND WHAT THE
MICROGRAVITY OF SPACE CAN
PROVIDE SO THE IF YOU TIRES VERY
BRIGHT BUT IT IS GOING TO
REQUIRE THESE PUBLIC PRIVATE
PARTNERSHIPS WHICH WE HAVE NOW
PROVEN CAN VERY, VERY SUCCESSFUL
SUCCESSFUL.
IN A ALSO WANT TO SAY, ANOTHER
QUESTION CAME UP ABOUT HOW
SPACEX HAS YOU KNOW, CHANGED
SINCE LAUNCHING YOU KNOW, FALCON
ONE SO MANY YEARS AGO AND EVEN
FALCON, THE THIRD LAUNCH OF
FALCON ONES WITH A FAILURE, AND
LET ME BE CLEAR.
SPACEX IS SO GOOD AT ADAPTING.
AS?  TEAM IS SO GOOD ABOUT
SHARING WHAT THE DEN NEARING
CHALLENGES ARE ANTHEM
RESPONDING.
AF AMAZING PARTNERSHIP AIN'T
CULMINATED IN THIS SPECK TAKE
CORE WILL YOU EVENT TODAY AND
THEN, WHEN NAS SASS COMES AND WE
WANT TO CREATE HIGH LEVEL
REQUIREMENTS WE HAVE A PAYLOAD
CAPACITY THAT BED.
WE HAVE SAFETY REQUIRE AMS THAT
NEED THEN ALLOW A PRIVATE
COMPANY LAKE SPACEX.
WE LAUNCHED ROCKETS WITH NINE
ENGINES.
WE LAUNCH ROCKETS WITH THE
LAUNCH ABORT CAPABILITY IS IN
INTEGRATED INTO THE SPACECRAFT
AND SPACECRAFT PROPULSION SYSTEM
ITSELF AND WE HAVE, FOU HE, A
PRESSURE VESSEL INSIDE OF A
LIQUID OXYGEN TANK AND THESE ARE
THINGS THAT NASA NEVER WOULD
HAVE DONE ON ITS OWN BUT BECAUSE
WE SET TO HIGH LEVEL REQUIRES
THEN SAY TO A PRIVATE COMPANY.
WE SAY PROVE TO US YOUR
ENGINEERING IS SOUND THROUGH
BOTH ENGINEERING ANTEING AND
THEN, THEN AS TIME WENT ON, OVER
THE YEARS BEHIND US NOW, SPACEX
PROVED AND WE OF COURSE AS AN
AGENCY HAD TO MAKE SURE THAT
WHAT THEY WERE TELLING WAS AC
DRATE THEN, THEN, TESTING IT.
AND I WILL TELL YOU IT HAS BEEN
JUST A MAGNIFICENT THING TO
WATCH SO AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS
TO SPACEX TEAM.
CONGRATULATION THOSE NASA TEAM
AIN'T HAS BEEN AMAZING
PARTNERSHIP AND I A LOT MORE TO
COME.
ONE OTHER THING BEFORE WE CLOSE
OUT.
ER RUCK BURGER SEN A TWEET
YESTERDAY.
IN THAT THAT TWEET HE TALKED
ABOUT HOW YOU KNOW, WE BEEN WUT
A HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT PROGRAM FOR
NOW NINE YEARS.
AND HE SAID, NOW, WE HAVE GOT
DAGON AND WE HAVE GOT STAR LINER
AND WE GOT STARSHIP AND WE GOT
ORION, AND BLUE MOON AND OTHER
VEHICLES THAT ARE ON THE TABLE,
MAY IT NEVER BE ABOUT THAT THE
UNITED STATES GUESS A DAY
WITHOUT A HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT
CAPABILITY IN THE FUTURE.
AND I WOULD DOUBLE DOWN ON THAT
AND SAY I AM THE FIRST NASA AS
MIN STRITTOR IN HISLY THAT WAS
NOT ALIVE WHEN WE HAD PEOPLE
LIVING AND WORK ON THE MOON AND
WE DID V TO MAKE SURE THAT
ANOTHER GENERATION DOESN'T MISS
THIS OPPORTUNITY.
TODAY WAS GREAT VICTORY BUT JUST
BEGINNING AM THE ARTEMIS PROGRAM
IS OUR SUSTAINABLE TORN THE MOON
AND GOING TO GO THOUGH MON AND
STAY.
WE ARE GOING TO LARN HOW TO LIB
AND WORK THERE FOR LONG PERIODS
OF TIME AND WE'LL TAKE THAT ON
TO MARS.
SWINE TO THANK ERIC BURGER FOR
THAT TWEET.
I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT IF WE DO
THINGS RIGHT.
WE WILL GET THE STRONG
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT THAT WE NEED
TO MAKE SURE THIS THIS PROGRAM
IS SUSTAINABLE AND INTO THE
FUTURE AND   THAT I GROWS INTO
THE FUTURE IN A ALSO WANT TO
THANK THE PRESIDENT AND THE VICE
PRESIDENT FOR THEIR AMAZING
SUPPORT THE BUDGET REQUEST
BEFORE THE HUS AND THE SENATE
RIGHT NOW IS $25.2 BILLION.
WHEN MY NAME WAS FIRST FLOATED
FOR THE NASA ADMINISTRATOR, A
LITTLE OVER, I GUESS TWO AND A
HALF YEARS AGO ABOUT NOW,
ACTUALLY, IT WAS LONGER THAN.
THE BUDGET FOR NASA
WAS $18 BILLION SO $18 BILLION
TO $25.2 BILLION WE GAT BRIGHT
FUTURE, A BIG AGENDA.
THIS IS AN AMAZING TUNE NOT JUST
FOREUNITED STATES OF AMERICA BUT
FOR THE WORLD AND I WOULD IN
PLOR THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS,
BIPARTISAN, THE HOUSE AND THE
SENATE, TO PLEASE SIGN FUN THE
BUDGET REQUEST FOR NAS.
WE HAVE PROVE FUN GIVES THE
RESOURCES WE CAN DELIVER AND THE
PARTERS CAN LIVER AND THIS IS
ABOUT ALL OF AMERICA 1:00 I JUST
WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO
EVERYBODY TO GET US WHERE WE ARE
AND EMPLOYER THE FOLKS THAT FUN
OUR AGENCY TO GET AN
APPROPRIATION DONE THAN
