start.
- [Controller 2] Roger.
All engines are running.
- [Narrator] We have
taken tremendous steps.
- We choose to go to the Moon,
before this decade is out.
- [Narrator] We have
achieved the earth-shaking,
the breathtaking, the
groundbreaking.
- [Astronaut] One small step for
man.
- [Narrator] And left
a mark in the heavens.
Our successes build one upon
another,
and amplify what is possible.
- [Announcer] The dawn of Orion.
- [Narrator] It's time we
take the next great leap.
We're building the next chapter
of American exploration,
returning to the Moon, to stay.
So we can go beyond, to Mars.
To expand what's possible,
and further our understanding.
The architecture for these
missions is already taking
shape.
We will go with new systems,
bold designs,
and a sustainable mission.
You can hear it, taste it, touch
it.
We are going.
We are training, testing,
pressing,
our pioneering spirit
into every component.
Defining our resolve
with every line of code.
And securing our success with
every welcomed partnership.
This is not hypothetical.
This is not about flags and
footprints.
This is about sustainable
science,
and feeding forward the
advance of the human spirit.
Because we are the
pioneers, the star-sailors,
the thinkers, the visionaries,
the doers.
And because we stand on
the shoulders of giants,
to go farther than humanity has
ever been.
We will add our names to the
rolls
of the greatest adventurers in
history.
Every day, every mission,
we advance this calling.
WE. ARE. NASA.
And after 60 years, we're
just getting started.

[CHEERING]
>> WHOO!
NOW EVERYONE PLEASE WELCOME NASA
ADMINISTRATOR JIM BRIDENSTINE.
>> THANK YOU!
I SEE THE TEAM STANDING FOR AN
ALUMNI.
I HAVE NO FAVORITES IN TODAY'S
COMPETITION.
ALTHOUGH I DID GRADUATE FROM THE
HIGH SCHOOL.
YOU ARE GETTING WAY TOO MUCH
ATTENTION TODAY.
JUST KNOW THIS, EVERYBODY IN
THIS ROOM TODAY HAS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF SOME
MAGNIFICENT, WHICH IS WHAT WE
JUST SAW.
THE FUTURE REQUIRES US TO HAVE
THE BEST ENGINEERS, THE BEST
TECHNICIANS, THE BEST
SCIENTISTS.
IT IS IN OUR NATIONAL SECURITY
INTEREST.
IT IS IN THE INTEREST OF THE
SECURITY OF THE COUNTRY THAT ALL
OF US LOVE.
THAT'S WHY NASA IS A SPONSOR OF
THIS EVENT.
THAT'S WHY NAS RIGHT NOW -- NAS
RIGHT NOW PUTS 4.1 ANNUALLY IN
ROBOTICS AND HAVE BEEN
SPONSORING THIS EVENT SINCE
1995.
[APPLAUDING]
WE PROVIDE MENTORSHIPS WITH
ENGINEERING AND PROVIDE DOLLARS
BECAUSE YOU IN THIS ROOM ARE THE
FUTURE OFURE ACCIDENT ABLE TO
ACCOMPLISH THOSE THINGS.
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
HAS CHARGED ME WITH THE NASA
ADMINISTRATOR.
HIS FIRST SPACE POWILL SEE
DIRECTIVE SAID THIS: HE SAID GO
TO THE MOON.
BUT HE SAID WE'RE NOT GOING TO
DO IT IN THE WAY WE HAVE DONE IT
BEFORE, THIS TIME WHEN WE GO IT
IS SUSTAINABLE.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT FLAGS AND FOOT
PRINTS AS YOU SAW, THIS IS ABOUT
A SUSTAINABLE RETURN TO THE
MOON.
THIS TIME WHEN WE GO, WE'RE
GOING TO STAY.
IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THAT
OBJECTIVE, ROBOTICS IS A BIG
PIECE OF IT.
AND YOUR GENERATION IS THE ONE
THAT WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN.
WE HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE TO LOOK
FORWARD TO.
HE SAID GO TO THE MOON
SUSTAINABLY WITH INTERNATIONAL
PARTNERS.
WE HAVE A COALITION OF NATIONS
ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 15
COUNTRIES COLLABORATING AND
WORKING IN SPACE NOW FOR 18
YEARS.
THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THIS
ROOM -- YES -- THE HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS IN THIS ROOM, THERE HAS
NOT BEEN A DAY YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
ALIVE WE HAVEN'T HAD A PERSON
WORKING AND LIVING IN SPACE TO
ADVANCE THE HUMAN CONDITION AND
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL B. THE
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AND
CAPABILITY TO ELEVATE THE HUMAN
CONDITION.
FOR A FEW MINUTES I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS.
IN THIS ROOM PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR
WITH DIRECTV AND DISH NETWORK
AND X M RADIO AND BROADBAND FROM
SPACE.
YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH DIFFERENT
THINGS.
I WAS A NAVY PILOT.
WE WOULD DO OVER THE HORIZON
COMMUNICATIONS.
ALL THESE CAPABILITIES FOR
COMMUNICATION WERE BORN FROM
THIS LITTLE AGENCY CALLED NASA
AT A TIME WHEN IT WAS NOTHING
MORE THAN SOMEBODY'S
IMAGINATION, SOMEBODY'S DREAM
AND PEOPLED IT COULDN'T BE DONE.
NOT ONLY DID THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA ACHIEVE SPACE-BASED
COMMUNICATIONS, WE
COMMERCIALIZED IT AND NOW ALL OF
HUMANITY CAN BENEFIT FROM IT,
INCLUDING WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
THE INTERNET HERE IN RURAL
OKLAHOMA, WE HAVE INTERNET
BROADBAND DELIVERED FROM SPACE
COMMERCIALLY.
BORN FROM THIS LITTLE AGENCY
THAT GETS LESS THAN ONE-HALF OF
ONE PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL
BUDGET.
WHAT AN AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT.
IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT
COMMUNICATION, IT'S ABOUT
NAVSTKPWAEUGZ THE WAY WE PRODUCE
FOOD.
WE ARE REDUCING WATER USAGE,
SAVING WATER, PRESERVING
NITRATES IN THE SOIL.
IN UGANDA IN 2017, NASA WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR SAVING LIVES AND
MITIGATING A NATURAL DISASTER,
A DROUGHT.
IN THE COURSE OF THAT EVENT WE
SAVED THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER TENS
OF MILLIONS.
WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO DISASTER
RELIEF, INSTEAD WE DID
MITIGATION AHEAD OF TIME.
THESE ARE WHAT ARE BORN FROM
THIS AGENT AND FROM ROBOTICS AND
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AND
THAT'S WHY WE ARE ALL HERE
TODAY.
BUT IT'S NOT JUST COMMUNICATION,
NAVIGATION THE WAY WE PRODUCE
FOOD.
WE ARE IN OKLAHOMA, THE WAY YOU
PRODUCE ENERGY.
THE WAY WE PREDICT WEATHER.
80% OF THE DATA COMES FROM
SALTSES IN SPACE BUILT BY NASA.
THE WAY WE UNDERSTAND CLIMATE
AND DO DISASTER RELIEF AND
NATIONAL SECURITY.
EVERY BANKING TRANSACTION IN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
REQUIRES A TIMING SIGNAL FROM
GPS.
NO GPS, NO BANKING.
THAT'S A CRITICAL CAPABILITY.
EACH ONE OF THE CAPABILITIES HAS
ELEVATED THE HUMAN CONDITION.
WE THINK ABOUT THE ELECTRIC ON
THE GRID AND COMES FROM A TIMING
SIGNAL FROM GPS.
ALL OF THE CAPABILITIES THAT
HAVE ELEVATED THE HUMAN
CONDITION WERE BORN FROM THIS
LITTLE AGENCY THAT RECEIVES LESS
THAN ONE-HALF OF ONE PERCENT OF
THE FEDERAL BUDGET.
WHEN THEY STARTED THE APOLLO
PROGRAM TO GO TO THE MOON,
NOBODY HAD ANY OF THIS IN MIND.
YET, HERE WE ARE.
AND THAT'S WHY WE SUPPORT THIS
EVENT.
THAT'S THE WHY WE SUPPORT FIRST
ROBOTICS.
IT IS YOUR GENERATION TO TAKE US
TO THE NEXT LEVEL, TO THE NEXT
STEP.
I WANT TO GO THROUGH A FEW
CAPABILITIES WE HAVE ON-GOING
RIGHT NOW.
ANYBODY HERE INTERESTED IN
ROBOTS?IN
[CHEERING]
WE NEED TO PULL UP A POWER POINT
HERE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO DO EXPLORATION
OF SPACE TECHNOLOGY.
THE FIRST ROBOT I AM GOING TO
SHOW YOU WAS TWO ROBOTS, SPIRIT
AND OPPORTUNITY.
ANYBODY HEARD OF SPIRIT AND
OPPORTUNITIESES?
OPPORTUNITY?
TWO OF THE ROBOTS WERE DELIVERED
TO MARS BACK IN 2004.
WE WERE JUST HOPEFUL THAT THEY
COULD LAST FOR 90 DAYS.
AND MAYBE MAKE IT 100-METERS.
THAT WAS THE TKPWOEUL.
IN FACT, SPIRIT LASTED FROM 2004
TO 2011 AND OPPORTUNITY LASTED
UNTIL JUST ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
WHAT AN AMAZING CAPEABILITY BORN
BY NASA SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS
AND ROBOTICS PROFESSIONALS.
BECAUSE OF SPIRIT AND
OPPORTUNITY I WANT TO SHARE
SOMETHING WITH YOU.
WE LEARNED SOME THINGS.
THESE TWO LITTLE ROBOTS
DEMONSTRATED TO US THERE ARE
MINERALS ON MARS THAT CAN ONLY
EXIST UNDER WATER.
FRIEND, MARS USED TO HAVE WATER.
NOT JUST A LITTLE WATER, THE
ENTIRE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE OF
TWO-THIRDS COVERED IN OCEAN.
WE KNOW THERE IS EVIDENCE OF
FLOWING WATER.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
IF IT HAS LIQUID WATER ON THE
SURFACE IT MEANS IT HAD A THICK
ATMOSPHERE.
IT ALSO MEANS IT WAS PROTECTED
FROM THE RADIATION OF DEEP
SPACE.
MARS WAS AT ONE TIME HABITABLE.
I'M NOT SAYING IT WAS INHABITED,
I DON'T KNOW.
DON'T GO TELL THE MEDIA THE NASA
ADMINISTRATOR SAID THERE WERE
BUNNY RABBITS ON MARS.
BUT I WILL TELL YOU, AT ONE TIME
IN ITS HISTORY, 3 BILLION YEARS
AGO, MARS WAS CAPABLE OF HOSTING
WELL.
I'M NOT SAYING IT DID, BUT IT
WAS CAPABLE.
LET'S FAST FORWARD.
CURIOSITY.
ANYBODY FAMILIAR WITH CURIOSITY?
[CHEERING]
WELL, JUST SINCE I HAVE BEEN THE
ADMINISTRATOR THE LAST YEAR WE
HAVE MADE AMAZING DISCOVERIES
USING THIS ROBOT ON MARS.
WE NOW KNOW THAT THERE ARE
COMPLEX ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ON THE
SURFACE OF MARS.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE IS LIFE
ON MARS, BUT THE PROBABILITY
JUST WENT UP.
THE BUILDING BLOCK FOR LIFE
EXIST ON MARS.
I WANT TO BE CLEAR, THOSE
BUILDING BLOCKS DO NOT EXIST ON
THE MOON.
THEY EXIST ON MARS.
AND, OF COURSE, THEY ARE ALL
OVER PLANET EARTH.
THEY EXIST ON MARS IN MASSIVE
VOLUMES.
THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT MARS'
HISTORY THAT SAYS THE BUILDING
BLOCKS OF LIFE EXIST THERE NOW.
WHAT COULD HAVE GONE ON IN ITS
HISTORY?
WE ALSO KNOW BECAUSE OF
CURIOSITY THE METH18 CYCLES OF
MARS ARE COMMENCEERATE WITH THE
SEASONS OF MARS.
THAT DOESN'T GUARANTEE LIFE, BUT
THE PROBABILITY JUST WENT UP
A LITTLE BIT MORE.
AND JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO WE
DISCOVERED NOT WITH THIS
SPACECRAFT, BUT WITH
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS WE
DISCOVERED THERE IS LIQUID WATER
12-METERS BELOW MARS.
WHEREVER THERE IS LIQUID WATER
THERE IS WIFE.
IT IS 12-KILOMETERS UNDER THE
SURFACE OF MARS?
THAT MEANS, I'M NOT SAYING THERE
IS, WE MAKE NO PREDICTIONS UNTIL
WE MAKE DISCOVERY, 12-KILOMETERS
UNDER THE EARTH MEAN ITS IS
PROTECTED FROM THE DEEP SPACE
RADIATION FROM THE SUN.
IT DOESN'T GUARANTEE LIFE BUT
PROBABILITY KEEPS GOING UP.
WHO WANTS TO BE THE ENGINEER
THAT DEVELOPS THE ROBOT OR OFF
THE NAT WHO FINDS -- ASTRONAUT
WHO FINDS LIFE ON ANOTHER WORLD?
ANYBODY HERE WANT TO DO THAT?
[CHEERING]
FRIENDS, THAT'S WHAT WE ARE
TRYING TO ACHIEVE AND WE ARE
FOLLOWING THE WATER.
THIS IS INSIGHT.
WE LANDED INSIGHT ON MARS IN
NOVEMBER.
AND IT WAS AN AMAZING DAY.
THIS IS A KEY CAPE ABILITY THAT
IS IMPORTANT AND YOU AS FUTURE
TECHNICIANS AND ROBOTICS
ENGINEERS YOU MIGHT WANT TO
CONSIDER.
WE LANDED ON MARS FOR THE EIGHTH
TIME IN HUMAN HISTORY.
EIGHT TIMES.
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS
THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT HAS EVER
BEEN ABLE TO DO IT.
OTHERS HAVE TRIED AND FAILED.
WE ARE NOW DOING IT WITH OUR
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS.
ALL THE SCIENCE AND DATA WE GET
WE GIVE TO THE WORLD FOR FREE.
WHY?
BUSE IT'S SCIENCE.
THAT'S -- BECAUSE IT'S SCIENCE,
THAT'S WHY.
[CHEERING]
AND HERE IS THE THING.
WHEN WE LANDED INSIGHT ON MARS
WE ALSO WERE ON THE COVER OF 240
NEWSPAPERS WORLDWIDE.
FRIEND, NASA IS AN AMAZING TOOL
OF DIPLOMACY FOR THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
PEOPLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
COUNTRY THAT MIGHT NOT BE
FRIENDLY TO THE UNITED STATES
AND SEE WHO WE ARE.
THIS IS AN AMAZING DIPLOMATIC
CAPABILITY.
INSIGHT LOOKS LIKE PHOENIX THAT
WAS A DISCOVERY ON MARS.
2009 WE DISCOVERED PURE WATER
ICE ON THE SURFACE OF MARS.
THAT'S WHAT WE ARE HERE TO DO
TODAY, MORE ROBOTICS.
WE TALKED ABOUT HOW THERE WAS
WATER ON MARS.
WHERE DID IT GO?
A LONG TIME AGO IT SEEMS MARS
MIGHT HAVE HAD A MOLTEN CORE
LIKE THE EARTH AND HAD A MANETIS
FEAR THAT PROTECTED IT FROM THE
SUN.
IT WENT AWAY AND CHARGED
PARTICLES FROM THE SUN IMPACTED
THE PLANET AND A LOT OF THE
WATER WENT OUT INTO SPACE.
WE WEREN'T THERE.
BUT WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE
ASSESSMENTS AS TO WHAT HAPPENED.
THIS SATELLITE, MAVEN, WHICH IS
ROBOTIC, EACH OF THE SATELLITES
ARE ROBOTS.
THEY HAVE TO WORK AUTON MOUSILY.
IT TAKES EIGHT MINUTES FOR THE
SIGNALS TO REACH.
IT IS MAKING DECISIONS AUTON
MOUSILY.
OVER CHRISTMAS OSIRUS REX,
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME IN HUMAN
HISTORY WE CAN ORBIT AN OBJECTS
THAT SMALL, THIS ROBOT WILL
COLLECT A SAMPLE FROM THE ASTRO
IN DEEP SPACE AND BRING IT BACK
TO EARTH AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO
USE REALLY LARGE MICROSCOPES TO
LOOK AT THE SOIL AND MAKE
ASSESSMENTS.
IT IS COMING HOME IN 2021.
ANYONE HERE WANT TO SEE THE
SAMPLES THAT COME BACK IN 2021?
[CHEERING]
HERE WE HAVE A SATELLITE NAMED
JUNEAU THAT IS GETTING UP CLOSE
AND BEAUTIFUL PICTURES OF
JUPITER.
I WILL ACCELERATE, CASSINI.
THIS IS AN AMAZING CAPABILITY.
IT WAS AROUND SATURN FOR A LONG
TIME AND WHAT IT DOES AT THE END
OF ITS LIFE WE DETERMINED IT WAS
COMING TO THE END OF ITS LIFE
AND ALMOST OUT OF FUEL AND WE
WERE ABLE TO FLY THIS LITTLE
SATELLITE BETWEEN AND THROUGH
THE RINGS OF SATURN AND GET
AMAZING PICTURES.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU IN
HIGH SCHOOL WHEN YOU GET HOME GO
LOOK AT THE AMAZING PICTURES
FROM THE CASSINI SATELLITE WE
HAVE HAD AROUND SATURN.
AND, OF COURSE, NEW HORIZONS.
DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER NEW
HORIZONS?
THERE WE GO.
REMEMBER IN 2014 WHEN WE FLEW BY
PLUTO FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
HUMAN HISTORY AND GOT THOSE
STUNNING IMAGES?
IT MIGHT NOT BE POPULAR THESE
DAYS BUT PLUTO ISN'T EXACTLY
A PLANET ANY MORE.
BUT I THINK IT OUGHT TO BE, SO
CALL IT GOOD.
HERE IS WHAT IS AMAZING.
AFTER WE FLEW BY PLUTO AND GOT
BEAUTIFUL IMAGES WE GOT
BEAUTIFUL IMAGES OF ITS MOON AND
WENT TO ANOTHER DESTINATION FOUR
BILLION MILES FROM EARTH, THE
FURTHEST OBJECT EVER LOOKED AT
UP CLOSE BY NASA.
ANYBODY HEAR OF ULTIMA THULE?
WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT WE WOULD
SEE WHEN WE FLEW BY AND WE HAVE
BEAUTIFUL IMAGES AND WE HAVE
MORE AND MORE SCIENCE ABOUT THE
OBJECTS.
WE ARE COMING TO THE END.
THIS IS ASTRO B IS NOT
A SATELLITE IN DEEP SPACE OR
A ROBOT ON ANOTHER WORLD IT IS
A ROBOT ON THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
IT IS A TOOL AND PARTNER AND WE
ARE LAUNCHING IT IN SHORT ORDER
AND WE WILL PUT IT ON THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AND
HELP OUR ASTRONAUTS LIVE AND
WORK IN SPACE.
YOU CAN SEE IT HAS NO LEGS OR
ARMS.
BUT WHAT IT HAS IS THRUSTERS.
IN A MICROGRAVITY ENVIRONMENT IT
FLOAT AROUND AND DOES DAILY
CHORES.
ANYBODY HERE WANT TO BUILD
ROBOTS THAT GO ON THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION OR
FUTURE SPACE STATIONS?
[CHEERING]
AND FINALLY, WE HAVE ROBOTICS ON
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
ON THE OUTSIDE.
WE HAVE ASTRONAUT JOHN ARON SON
HERE.
GOOD FRIEND OF MINE.
NAVY PILOT, AN AMERICAN HERO.
THE FIRST NATIVE AMERICAN IN
SPACE.
JOHN HERRINGTON HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO FLY ON THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU A VIDEO.
YOU CAN SEE THE LONG STICK BELOW
THE SPACE STATION, THAT IS
A ROBOTIC ARM.
WE'LL WATCH VIDEO OF HOW THE
ROBOTIC ARM WORKS.
YOU CAN SEE THE ASTRONAUT AT THE
END OF THE ROBOTIC ARM.
THIS IS A CRITICAL THING FOR THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND
I'LL TELL YOU WHY.
YOUR TAX DOLLARS DID NOT INVEST
IN THAT ROBOTIC ARM.
THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL
PARTNERSHIP.
CANADA SAID THEY WOULD STEP UP
AND DO THAT AND LAST MONTH THEY
SAID WE'LL BE WITH THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE NEXT 24 YEARS IN
SPACE BECAUSE WE ARE BUILDING
A SPACE STATION THAT WILL BE IN
ORBIT AROUND THE MOON.
NOT OUR AROUND EARTH, BUT THE
MOON.
WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE AMONG
TO STAY.
WE NEED A REUSABLE COMMAND
MODULE AND WE WILL WORK WITH
CANADA TO PROVIDE THE ROBOTIC
ARM AND CAPE ACTS AND
TECHNOLOGIES THAT ALLOW US TO DO
MORE SI SKPEPBS DISCOVERY NAN --
SCIENCE AND DISCOVERY THAN EVER
BEFORE.
ALL OF THE COUNTRIES LIVING AND
WORKING TOGETHER IN SPACE.
WE HAVE HAD 103 COUNTRIES DOING
SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS ON THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION WITH
ROBOTIC HELP.
THIS IS A CAPABILITY OUR COUNTRY
NEEDS.
WE NEED EACH AND EVERY ONE EVER
YOU TO STEP UP AND TAKE THAT GEN
TRAOEUGZ GO FURTHER AND DO MORE
BECAUSE IT'S IN THE NATIONAL
SECURITY INTEREST OF OUR
COUNTRY.
FRIENDS, I'M ASKING YOU TO HELP
YOUR COUNTRY ACHIEF MORE AND
HELP THE WORLD DISCOVER MORE AND
LEARN MORE THAN WE HAVE EVER
BEEN BE ABLE TO DISCOVER OR
LEARN IN THE PAST AND WE'LL BE
ABLE TO DO IT BECAUSE OF
ROBOTICS.
THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE TO
SUPPORT THIS EVENT.
GOD BLESS YOU, GOOD LUCK.
FIRST WE'LL HAVE THE NATIONALLAN
