3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Starliner is our second crew module to take

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
astronauts launched at the

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Kennedy Space Center, all the way to the International Space Station.

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Dock, perform their tasks

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
and to return home. And Starliner will

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
actually land not in the ocean like

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
the Dragon spacecraft does, but instead

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
landing on the desert floor in the Western United States

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000

[slate]

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Just like

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
the Space Shuttle which helped us build the International Space Station -

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
which by the way is a 120 yards 

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
long. In other words from one goal post

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
in a football field to the other goal post. - That’s how big 

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
it is. Well the commercial crew program is 

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
taking our crew to and from the International Space Station

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
and of course what we are doing is

21
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
as we adapt to long durations in 

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
zero gravity, as we build new technology

23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
and new procedures, it’s going to help

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
us on these much longer durations 

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
back to the Moon and eventually to Mars.

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000


27
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
[slate]

28
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
As we continue to develop new 

29
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
spacecraft and as we continue

30
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
to develop spacecraft that we can reuse,

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000
and as we start to use 3D 

32
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000
manufacturing

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
all of this is bringing down the cost of rockets and spacecraft.

34
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
So that it become much more available

35
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
to the average person to be able to go

36
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000
into space. And I think one day we will

37
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000
see the average person be able 

38
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
to go and fly among the stars.

41
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,000
This is another repeat of the first

42
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
test of an unscrewed Starliner spacecraft.

43
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
The first one had a malfunction in the software.

44
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
So NASA is very careful 

45
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000
we want this one to go perfectly

46
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
all the way to the International Space Station to dock

47
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
autonomously and then to return home

48
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
with a landing in the desert

49
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
in the Western U.S. We want that to go perfectly before

50
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,000
we put human astronauts on the first

51
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000
actual flight with humans.

52
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,840
That is the reason we are doing the second orbital flight test.

53
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:30,836
