I hint about the only person around it
doesn't have TV coverage of the things
that man got the black up now you're
gonna be getting a TV picture now
they'll yes we are getting a TV picture
one all
today NASA is inviting you to
participate in the next monumental
journey of a lifetime a journey to
extend the frontiers of human
exploration gaze across alien landscapes
and see our Sun Rise over New Horizons
nearly 3.8 billion years ago
prokaryotes the first known simple
celled organisms appeared in Earth's
oceans becoming the harbor for new life
in our solar system today
NASA's Mars orbiters Rovers and Landers
have discovered that the red planet kind
of had water on its surface early in its
history too but something happened
the surface water and atmosphere on Mars
were lost
did life once involved on Mars and
suddenly cease could earth ultimately
experience the same fate to find out
astronauts will need to make the trip to
Mars
however the technological and biological
knowledge NASA needs to make the trip
safely does not exist yet today
NASA's fleet of robotic scientific
explorers at Mars are paving the way for
human exploration in 2012 NASA landed
its largest and most sophisticated rover
on Mars its name is curiosity
its purpose is to determine if passed
conditions on Mars could have supported
life and to investigate cosmic radiation
challenges these investigations will be
useful in designing space suits and
equipment to protect the astronauts
while traveling there in the future this
journey will take about nine months a
long time to live in a spacecraft before
reaching Mars astronauts will face many
biological and cosmic challenges without
Earth's gravity astronauts will
experience a decline in bone density
reduction in muscle mass changes in
vision and other physiological and
psychological effects getting to Mars is
hard but NASA is committed to solving
the challenges
NASA is practicing living in space on
the International Space Station
this world-class National Laboratory
houses a crew as it continuously orbits
earth testing various technologies and
human capabilities and low Earth orbit
astronauts test air food water and waste
systems and astronauts are now making
one year visits to the station while
testing and refining reliable deep space
systems to make the trip
NASA is going to need a larger more
powerful rocket system that has ever
been developed in the space program this
transportation system is in production
and has three components and advanced
spacecraft called Orion to house the
crew a powerful expandable rocket space
launch system or the SLS and a modern
space port with an assembly plant and
new launch site which are currently
being built at Kennedy Space Center in
Florida all three components of this
system have to be ready at the same time
and must fit together perfectly
the Orion is unlike any spacecraft that
has ever been built it will hold for
astronauts and take humans to a variety
of space destinations in 2014
oh my and launched for the first time
from Kennedy Space Center on a
substitute standard rocket the flight
tested critical systems and the 16 and a
half foot heat shield that will protect
the crew from the searing heat during
reentry the spacecraft impacted Earth's
atmosphere at 20,000 miles per hour with
the heat shield reaching a blistering
4,000 degrees Fahrenheit
despite the scorching temperatures
outside the interior maintained a
comfortable temperature around 75
degrees tomorrow
the next time all Ryan takes flight it
won't be orbiting
it will orbit the moon and Orion is
going to need a more powerful ride it
has been 40 years since NASA's built a
rocket that takes humans beyond Earth
orbit the new SLS will have a large
version that can send a habitat and
supplies to Mars orbit and surface in
advance of a smaller version that will
take the astronaut crew right now we are
working toward the first integrated test
flight of Orion and SLS however the most
powerful rocket in the world needs a
modern assembly facility and heavy-duty
ground support the ground systems team
at Kennedy Space Center is working hard
to redesign and rebuild the launchpad
flame trench and pad structure to
withstand the incredible nine
million pounds of thrust generated by
the SLS landing on Mars will require
advanced technology an entirely
different engineering Mars likes the
atmosphere to land vehicles with
friction and parachutes has done on
earth the heavier Landers of tomorrow
some as large as a two-story building
will require new entry descent and
landing technologies and new woven
heat-resistant materials NASA is testing
a new low-density supersonic decelerator
that is equipped with a drag device
deployed at supersonic speeds once on
Mars astronauts will have to live off
the land as pioneers have done on earth
nasa will need technologies that can
filter oxygen and recycle water from the
surface of Mars and we'll need to
develop complex environmental control
and communication systems to enable
critical capabilities required to extend
human presence onto the Martian surface
to explore Mars astronauts will also
need technologies for transportation
systems that can move humans and cargo
across tens of millions of miles as well
as small mobile power plants to provide
energy in preparation for destination
Mars astronauts are going to need to
practice working in deep space in
parallel to all of these technology
developments
NASA is now planning a robotic
spacecraft to journey into deep space to
capture a large boulder from an asteroid
this colossal space rock may contain
water carbon methane sulfur or even iron
using advanced solar electric propulsion
the spacecraft will move the massive
asteroid boulder safely into orbit
around our move
the mission asteroid redirect mission or
arm is a key capability demonstration
for a future Mars barge that may deliver
supplies and a habitat prior to the
cruise arrival this mission also lays a
piece of the groundwork for a potential
planetary defense system against
asteroids that could threaten earth
before returning the large asteroid
boulder to lunar orbit the spacecraft
will perform a maneuver to demonstrate
the capability to alter an asteroids
path what happens next is right from the
pages of science fiction and is a
critical step towards testing
technologies that will enable us to
explore Mars humans will venture deeper
into space than ever before to inspect
the multi ton Boulder positioned in
lunar orbit for this mission
humanity will travel over 300,000 miles
into space the touch of fraction of the
cosmos the mission will test new space
suits and systems while the astronauts
select and gather samples from the
primitive multi-ton mass
other missions of Orion and SLS in the
area between Earth and the moon will
conduct exercises in advanced life
support deep space habitation orbit
changes and staging for assembly
operations all needed for future human
missions to Mars
just as looking back to Earth from the
moon during the Apollo era shaped how we
perceive our place in the solar system
watching earth fade to a small dude . of
light as we travel farther into the
cosmos will surely enhance our
understanding of the universe join NASA
as we view new horizons work with us as
we push forward to develop new
technologies and innovations that will
benefit humankind and take us beyond the
boundaries of human exploration
join us on NASA's journey to Mars I care
about the only person around it doesn't
have TV coverage of the food and it man
you got the black up now and you can be
the start of the TV picture now bill yes
we are going
Victor Kilian out one all
bad way
