The momentum of the 24 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: Chinese program and its increasing outreach to other countries means 25 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: that within a decade the United States could lose militarily, technologically, 26 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: and economically in space. That outcome would be catastrophic. President 27 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: Trump understands how real this threat is and has begun 28 00:01:55,160 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: to revitalize America's commitment to space. On the fourth of July, asserted, quote, 29 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: I want you to know that we were going to 30 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: be back on the Moon very soon, and someday soon 31 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: we will plant the American flag on Mars close quote. 32 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: The new Artemus project is not the Apollo project fifty 33 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: years later. It is something profoundly different. Imagine that the 34 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: first woman and man on the Moon stay for three weeks, 35 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: fifty percent longer than all six Apollo visits combine. Imagine 36 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: that their twenty one days are spent assembling the preposition 37 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: materials to create a work and living space comparable to 38 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: an Antarctic scientific research station. Imagine that they were joined 39 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: by a second crew just before they returned to Earth, 40 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: so the new development had permanent habitation. That kind of 41 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: permanent development is what President Trump has in mind. President 42 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: Trump has launched America on a Moon Mars development project 43 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,839 Speaker 1: which will change the future of the entire human race. 44 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: The Moon Mars Development Project is as daring and as 45 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: revolutionary for our generation as was President John F. Kennedy's 46 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: proposal to Congress on May twenty fifth, nineteen sixty one. 47 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving 48 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: the goal before this decade is out of landing a 49 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. 50 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: It's easy to forget that this goal, which we celebrate 51 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: the fiftieth anniversary of achieving, was at the time received 52 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: very skeptically by the American people. Gallop estimated that fifty 53 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: eight percent of Americans were most President Kennedy expanded on 54 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: the reasoning behind our decision to go to the Moon 55 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: in a remarkable speech at Rice University on September twelfth, 56 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two. We choose to go to the Moon 57 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: and dis decay and do the other things not because 58 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: they are easy, but because they are hard. Because that goal, 59 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: we'll serve to organize and measure the best of our 60 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: energies and skills. Because that challenge is one that we're 61 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: willing to accept, one we are willing to postpone, and 62 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: one we intend to win. The initial reaction to President 63 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: Trump's challenge of a joint Moon Mars development project was 64 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: to translate it back into something we were already familiar with. 65 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: Because you've been used to the language of getting to 66 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: the Moon, and we're in the midst of celebrating the 67 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: great story of the Apollo Project, which fifty years ago 68 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: first landed humans on our nearest neighbor. We've had a 69 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: hard time coming to groups with how much bigger and 70 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: more profound the Trump Moon Mars Development project is. As 71 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: Vice President Pence said at the National Space Council in Huntsville, Alabama, 72 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: on March twenty six, twenty nineteen. Fifty years ago, one 73 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: small step for man became one giant lea for mankind. 74 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: But now's come the time for us to make the 75 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: next giant leave and return American astronauts to the Moon, 76 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: establish a permanent base there, and develop the technologies to 77 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: take American astronauts to Mars and beyond. That's the next 78 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: giant lead. Note the direct connection between the Moon development 79 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: and going on to Mars and as the Vice President 80 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: put it, and beyond, the news media and much the 81 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: mass of eureaucracy in Congress have not yet come to 82 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: grips with how big, how different, and how found this 83 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: new program is President Trump's recent tweet quote, for all 84 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: the money we are spending, NASSA should not be talking 85 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: about going to the Moon. We did that fifty years ago. 86 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: They should be focused on the much bigger things we 87 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: are doing, including Mars, of which the Moon is a part, 88 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: defense and science. Close quote has been widely misunderstood. The 89 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: President was not trying to minimize lunar development or suggest 90 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: cutting the Moon development project. He was putting the moon 91 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: in context. We are not trying to repeat the Apollo experience, 92 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: as remarkable as it was. Our goal is not just 93 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: getting to the Moon. We've already done that. Our goal 94 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: is to settle and develop the Moon and Mars and 95 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: turn them into industrial centers, which will then enable us 96 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: to explore the rest of the Solar System and beyond. 97 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: The Trump vision of space development is as bold and 98 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: revolutionary as the Kennedy vision was in nineteen sixty one, 99 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: and just as achieving President Kennedy's goal required a whole 100 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: new structure and system, so achieving President Trump's vision will 101 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: require far more change and far more invention than anyone 102 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: is currently prepared for. When we come back, we're going 103 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: to talk about the real difference between the traditional patterns 104 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: and what we're now trying to devote. I was delighted 105 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: when the first sponsor of newts World was Oxford Gold Group. 106 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: I love entrepreneurial startups of people who are eager, willing 107 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: to go out and do new and different things. And 108 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: as a historian, I know that having a balanced portfolio 109 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: is a very important thing, and they offer financial information 110 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: and background information that I think is very helpful. So 111 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: whatever you decide to do in the end, I think 112 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: you'll find the information they have is really worth while. 113 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: And that's why I'm delighted to introduce you to the 114 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,119 Speaker 1: Oxford Gold Group. Most of us still remember what happened 115 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: to our four oh one ks and IRA's back in 116 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight during the financial crash. In a flash, 117 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: millions of hard working Americans lost more than half of 118 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: their retirement in savings. Many of us still haven't recovered 119 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: those losses, even as the stock market reached record highs. 120 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: Did you know that while the stock market crashed, the 121 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: price of gold and silver skyrocketed. In fact, investors who 122 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: had the foresight to diversify a portion of their retirement 123 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: in savings before the two thousand and eight meltdown watched 124 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: as the price of gold and silver went up over 125 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: three hundred percent. While millions of Americans lost their nest 126 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: eggs in the stock market, many others were able to 127 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: make gains most people had never seen before.

Financial 140 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: security is just a phone call away. President Kennedy wanted 141 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: to reach the and for his generation that was an enormous, 142 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: risky and daunting challenge. President Trump wants to develop the 143 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: Moon and Mars, and for our generation that will be 144 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: an enormous, risky and daunting challenge. Then the next generation 145 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: can build in this accomplishment to make travel throughout the 146 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: Solar System and travel by families a normal part of 147 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: the human experience. With large numbers of free people living 148 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: and working in space, our goal is to develop the Moon, 149 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: use it as a training base for extraterrestrial operations, manufacturing, mining, 150 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: and lunar science, and then launch on As the Vice 151 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: President said, to Mars and beyond, this is the beginning 152 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: of genuine space industrialization that will bring huge new resources 153 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: into the human system and create an untold number of 154 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: new jobs. The development of a lunar industrial facility will 155 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: be as big a milestone in the history of the 156 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: human race as the landing of Apollo eleven a half 157 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: century ago. John Marburger, President George W. Bush's science adviser, 158 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: in two thousand and six, put the case for developing 159 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: the Moon quote, the Moon has unique significance for all 160 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: space applications for a reason that, to my amazement, is 161 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: hardly ever discussed in popular accounts of space policy. The 162 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: Moon is the closest source of material that lies far 163 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: up Earth's gravity. Well, anything that can be made by 164 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: lunar material, it costs comparable to Earth manufacture, has an 165 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: enormous overall cost advantage compared with objects lifted from the 166 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: Earth surface. The greatest value of the Moon lies neither 167 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: in science nor in exploration, but in its material. I 168 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: am talking about the possibility of extracting elements and minerals 169 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: that can be processed into fuel or massive components of 170 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: space apparatus. The production of oxygen, in particular, the major 171 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: component by mass of chemical rocket fuel, is potentially important 172 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: lunar industry close quote. This focus on developing the Moon 173 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: and Mars, and on commercially viable space industrialization makes the 174 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: our teamous project profoundly bigger than a mere repeat of 175 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: the Apollo program. For example, the first one in the 176 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: Moon will be an American, and she will be there 177 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: in five years. On her first visit to the Moon, 178 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: she will be there longer than the combine two hundred 179 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: and ninety nine hours, a little over fourteen days. That 180 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: all six Apollo landings combined spent on the Moon. The 181 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 1: first team landing in twenty twenty four should stay at 182 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: least three weeks, and ideally should stay until the first 183 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: replacement work team arrives. This serious, determined approach to lunar 184 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: development requires a series of prepositioned logistics packages. Essentially, the 185 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: common nation of three D printing, robotics, distance management, and 186 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: artificial intelligence should enable us to preposition the equivalent of 187 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: an Antarctic scientific station. The newly arrived Moon developers should 188 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: have a substantial amount of resources already available and should 189 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: be able to spend their initial weeks building out the 190 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: initial infrastructure for the follow on, much larger development team. 191 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: Landing in twenty twenty four is just the beginning of 192 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: the great adventure. The following two or three years should 193 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: see a very substantial increase in the size of the station, 194 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: the number of people working there at any one time, 195 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: and the space flight logistics system bringing people back and forth, 196 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: and what should become by twenty twenty eight a pretty 197 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: routine schedule. A large amount of the early work and 198 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: early experiments should be pioneering efforts that make the next 199 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: stage on Mars easier and more practical. This developmental work 200 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: should be built into the planning the lunar development from 201 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: the very first day. As America develops the Moon, beginning 202 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: at the south pole, where the possibility of water ICE's greatest, 203 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: there will be major opportunities for our allies to participate 204 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: in this great historic venture. Between the Moon, Mars, and beyond, 205 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: there will be lots of opportunities for a freedom coalition 206 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: to work together. Creating the first permanent American base at 207 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: the Moon's south Pole gives us the best opportunity to 208 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: find water ice ice can be turned into fuel and atmosphere. 209 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: When combined with three D printing and robotics, a South 210 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: Pole manufacturing center begins to offer dramatic opportunities to prepare 211 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: for the longer, more complicated project of occupying and developing Mars. 212 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: The experience of operating in one sixth the gravity of 213 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: Earth and manufacturing and mining in a dangerous environment will 214 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: teach many lessons necessary are to survive and prosper on Mars. 215 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: In the early phases of development, it is much safer 216 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: to develop these new skills on the Moon rather than Mars. 217 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: We will make mistakes, and we will have accidents and 218 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: other problems. The Moon is a very short trip for 219 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: a rescue team compared to trying to respond to a 220 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: crisis on Mars. NASA in the contracting community have not 221 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: yet come to grips with how profound a change President 222 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: Trump's commitment to developing the Moon and Mars is compared 223 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: to everything we've done up to now. When we come back, 224 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about the changes we need in 225 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: thinking about this bold new approach to development of Moon 226 00:15:42,920 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: and Mars. We need a request for information not just 227 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: for getting to the Moon, but for staying on the Moon. 228 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: Companies should be asked to propose both their plan for 229 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: getting to the lunar surface and their plans for the 230 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: first years of developing the Moon. We spent the last 231 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: half century focused on low Earth orbit and on science 232 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: from instrumentation and space. Many of the projects are so 233 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: technologically exquisite that their testimony to the ingenuity and skill 234 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: of the scientific and engineering community. Now, with a Moon 235 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: Mars development project, we have a new focus for scientists 236 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: as we build laboratories on the Moon and shortly thereafter 237 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: on Mars. What are the questions scientists will want to 238 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: explore and what are the structures and equipment they will need. 239 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: The first phase of science on the Moon will be 240 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 1: a lot like the early years of exploring Antarctica. An 241 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: Antarctic winter offers many of the psychological and physical stresses 242 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: our first generation of settlers will experience on the Moon 243 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: and Mars. Because developing the Moon and Mars is such 244 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: an extraordinary undertaking, we need a center of excellence focused 245 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: on thinking through lunar Mars development and dedicated to developing 246 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: the tools and systems that the process will require. The 247 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: best location for a Moon Mars center of excellence striving 248 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: to pull together the most creative thinking of both the 249 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: government and the private sector as the NASA Aimes Research 250 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: Center and Mountain View, California. There is no other space 251 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: facility located so close to the center of American technological 252 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: and commercial innovation. The opportunity to create a genuine dialog 253 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: and partnership with the Silicon Valley community could both lead 254 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: to a wide range of new solutions trans sending our 255 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: more bureaucratic and traditional space companies, and could lead to 256 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: a vast range of private resources being committed to developing 257 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: the Moon and Mars. Strengthening the current NASA AMES research 258 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: center and adding to it a federally funded research and 259 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: development center, with both dedicated to inventing and thinking through 260 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: The capabilities for developing both the Moon and Mars would 261 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: create the intellectual momentum we need to achieve the level 262 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: of breakthroughs we are looking for. This should be designed 263 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: from the beginning as a joint business, academic government project. Furthermore, 264 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: making a major investment in the heart of a solidly 265 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: democratic state is a powerful reminder that developing the Moon 266 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: and Mars has to be an American project, not just 267 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 1: a Republican project. President Trump's a vision of a bold 268 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: new surge into developing space has to become a project 269 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: of the American people. When President can He first announced 270 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty one that America was going to the Moon, 271 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: a majority of Americans were skeptical, fifty eight percent questioned. 272 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: According to Gellip, that is why President Kennedy went to 273 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: Rice University in nineteen sixty two and gave an eloquent 274 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: defense of the importance of going to the Moon. Similarly, today, 275 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: we have to develop an American commitment to developing the 276 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: Moon and Mars as part of our very identity as 277 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: a country that is always seeking a better future and 278 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: greater opportunity. Part of growing broad support for the Moon 279 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 1: Mars Development project has to be a series of public 280 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 1: conferences in which everyone interested in contributing to the next 281 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: great human adventure has an opportunity to participate. There's been 282 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: far too much insider and lobbyist domination of thinking and 283 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: working on space. As more people come to understand the 284 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: scale of change and the opportunity inherent in the Moon 285 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: Mars Development project, there'll be a rage of interest in 286 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: participating in one fashion or another. Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, 287 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,959 Speaker 1: Richard Branson, and the late Paul Allen are all proof 288 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: that substantial private resources can be invested in space. As 289 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: the scale of the Moon Mars Development project becomes clear, 290 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: many more successful individuals and companies will join in. None 291 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: of them are in today's Washington contracting lobbying system at 292 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: the other end of resources. They're literally hundreds of small companies, startups, 293 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: and entrepreneurs who have new ideas, new solutions, new technologies, 294 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: and new concepts. The current system either ignores them or 295 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: smothers them in red tape. Congress and the Trump administration 296 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: should develop legislation incentivizing private investment by passing legislation removing 297 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: taxation from activities on the lunar surface, along with the structure, 298 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: some of the one used in the oil and gas industry, 299 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: that would allow companies doing business in sicilin or space 300 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: in the Moon to expense intangible and capital costs in 301 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: the year incurred. This would extend to investment tax breaks 302 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: as well, to help to defray risk involved in such 303 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: ventures and to encourage more entries rather than just well 304 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: financed existing entities. Finally, there are a growing number of 305 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: colleges and universities with both human and financial resources that 306 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: have an interest in space. Many of these can bring 307 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: their own and their alumnized resources to support the development 308 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: of the Moon, Mars and beyond. We will need a new, 309 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: more open approach to idea and resource gathering on a 310 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: project of this scale. A whole new approach is needed 311 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: to maximize open source acquisition of ideas and resources. It'll 312 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: be the opposite of the traditional bureaucratic control model that 313 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 1: limits inputs, controls activities, and seeks to limit participation to 314 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: approved participants. One step may be to build an open 315 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: ended Moon Mars development project association with a strong social 316 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: media network that allows every interested person to be connected, informed, 317 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: and involved. Every market interest in the economic development of 318 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: the Solar System should be invited to participate. Another vital 319 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: step is to develop a strong outreach to every student 320 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: in the country to get them to understand their future 321 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: opportunities in space. The response to Sputneck and the Apollo 322 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: program led to a strong increase in students studying science, technology, engineering, 323 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: and math. If the Moon Mars development project is explained 324 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: to every student in America, the number of STEMS students 325 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: will go up dramatically. NASH administrator Jim Bridenstein captured this 326 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: spear when he said, quote, I have a daughter who's 327 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: eleven years old, and I want her to be able 328 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: to see herself in the same role as the next 329 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: woman to go to the Moon. Close quote. Our goals 330 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: should be to get every young American dreaming that they 331 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: could have an exciting life developing resources beyond Earth. It 332 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: may be desirable for some of the existing space advocacy 333 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: groups to work together in association with NASA to build 334 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: an online association of Young Space Pioneers for students K 335 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: through twelfth who want to go into space and to 336 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: help develop the Moon and Mars and explore space opportunities everywhere. 337 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: Every member of Congress and every governor and state legislature 338 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: should be asked to participate in involving students in the program. 339 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: This will also help the elected officials understand the potential 340 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: of the Moon Mars development project as they communicate with 341 00:23:48,600 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: students back home. Do we defend this new venture in space? 342 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: The scale of development will require a space based security regime. 343 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: The growth of vital assets at low Earth orbit, combined 344 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: with the Moon Mars development project, make it essential that 345 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: the Space Force attains and maintains dominance in space based 346 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: war fighting. The Chinese and Russian efforts in military space 347 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: make clear that the United States will have to develop 348 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 1: an unchallengeable capability to fight and win in space. The 349 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,719 Speaker 1: massive reliance both military and commerce activities requires the ability 350 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: to safeguard assets at low Earth orbit, which are vital 351 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: for everything from GPS to communications, to maintaining the operability 352 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: of ATM machines to weather forecasting. The list is virtually endless. 353 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: The development of the Moon and Mars and beyond will 354 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: create new zones of vulnerability, including key spots in space. 355 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: The actual developmental bases on the Lunar and Mars surface, 356 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: and the growth of commerce between the various developed sites. 357 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: They all will require nobility to defend them. Creating the 358 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: space force and investing enough human and financial resources to 359 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: make it unchallengeable is a key requirement for a successful 360 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: American space program. How do we defend this new venture 361 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: on Earth? As the Air Force Research Lab and Defense 362 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: Innovation Unit recently reported, there is a comprehensive Chinese effort 363 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: to undermine and weaken our space activities here on Earth, 364 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: Stealing intellectual property, buying small entrepreneurial startups, flooding some markets 365 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: with massively subsidized prices no commercial company can compete with, 366 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: and other predatory behaviors. The United States will have to 367 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: win the space development race, both on Earth and in space. 368 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: This will require much more effective government defense of American 369 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: industries from predatory and often a legal Chinese behavior. But 370 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: can this really be done? This bold, dramatic program cannot 371 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: be done within the traditional bureaucracies or within a partisan context. 372 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: The vision of Americans developing the Moon and Mars has 373 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 1: to become an American vision, and the Congress has to 374 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: commit itself to both funding the developments, and to supporting 375 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: the reforms necessary for the government to be effective. The 376 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 1: current bureaucracy could not achieve the goals President Trump has outlined, 377 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: even with much more funding, it would be too slow 378 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: and too focused on slow controlled development, with a bias 379 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: toward the big old contractors in their lobbyists, and an 380 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: aversion to shifting from transportation and satellites to landings and 381 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: development as the central focus. What has to be developed 382 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: must include a very large public private partnership, including philanthropists, 383 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: entrepreneurial startups, and pioneering academic institutions. Every contractor should have 384 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: some skin in the game, starting with indefensible overruns on 385 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: cost plus contracts like the Space Launched System or RYAN 386 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: and the Web Telescope, which for an embarrassing number of 387 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: years have had both time and cost overruns. Part of 388 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: stretching the NASA budget should be money coming back in 389 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: from the private sector and from philanthropists and partnerships. For 390 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: developing the Moon and Mars. There should be no more 391 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: cost plus contracts. Companies should contract for performance and only 392 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: be paid on performance. Developing the Moon and Mars in 393 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: a rapid program requires very bold new thinking that no 394 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: bureaucracy can come up with on its own. The National 395 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: Space Council should, working with NASA Administrator Bradenstein, established three 396 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: parallel planning groups run by NASA but with open involvement 397 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: by the Council's User Advisory Group, with open orse opportunities 398 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: for people to submit ideas and critique proposals. The three 399 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: groups simply A, B, and C should be tasked to 400 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: compete with each other in exploring every innovation that can 401 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: develop the Moon and Mars faster and cheaper than the 402 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: current plan. We need three different paths to planning innovation 403 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: to maximize the flow of new ideas and new thinking. 404 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 1: Congress should be asked to get involved in thinking through 405 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: every method of getting a job done. This is a 406 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: big enough series of projects over a long enough period 407 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: of time the project probably will only be fully mature 408 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: around two thousand and thirty five that a lot of 409 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: people can contribute. Every aspect of pre existing plans should 410 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: be critically examined. There's a deep bias in any bureaucracy 411 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: to relabel existing programs to fit new proposals and then 412 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: justify them while rejecting less expensive options based in technologies 413 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: which did not exist when the initial planning began. The 414 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: Gateway satellite is a good example of something which continues 415 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: to survive in various permutations, even when alterneys might be 416 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: cheaper and faster. It is expensive, and the original rational 417 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: for it was before the focus and a lunar landing. 418 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: In addition, it may be more expensive and less desirable 419 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: given all the breakthroughs in competitive renewable launches and in 420 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: other methods of providing the same capabilities. The external teams 421 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: could weigh in on that option. As a non technical person, 422 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: the more I listened to the technical arguments for the Gateway, 423 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: the less convinced I am rethinking Gateway would be a 424 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: good first for potentially saving money, second for potentially developing 425 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: a better facility using new and revolutionary capabilities, and third 426 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: as a lesson to the bureaucracy to not cite pre 427 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: existing ideas just because they make the system feel better 428 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: or serve as a hedge against policy changes in administrations 429 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: or Congress. With a normal president and a normal Congress, 430 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: the Moon mar Development project would be a nice speech 431 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: which would then fade away as the budget reality's bureaucratic rejection, lobbying, resistance, 432 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: and congressional defense of traditional space pork, combined to keep 433 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: the system in the same over budget, over schedule, under 434 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: performance pattern which has tragically been with the American space program. 435 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: Has been since the nineteen seventy two decision by President 436 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: Nixon to reduce America's ambitions from the Moon to lower 437 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: Earth orbit. For forty seven years, we have been incrementally 438 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: working in the same bureaucratic process, with big presidential announcements 439 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: followed by Congressional refusal to pay for the big project, 440 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: followed by drawn out survival programs that guaranteed cost and 441 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: scheduling overruns. NASA has done many unmanned things brilliantly with 442 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: exquisite science and engineering at amazing distances from Earth. NASA 443 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: has maintained a steady flow of activities and lower Earth orbit, 444 00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: and combined with the commercial world and the military, capabilities 445 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: and effectiveness and lower have grown in sophistication, reliability, and volume. However, 446 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: no president since John F. Kennedy has aroused the nation 447 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: to encourage the Congress to fund a really big manned 448 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: space program beyond low Earth orbit. The first big step 449 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: towards implementation is earning the support of the American people. 450 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: The administration, both in the White House and in NASA, 451 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: in collaboration with the private sector, have to make earning 452 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: public support the highest priority. At a time when the 453 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: Pew Research Foundation reports that sixty three percent of millennials 454 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: indicate that they are definitely or probably instant in space tourism, 455 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: there is good reason to believe a pro space grassroots 456 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: movement could be developed and could lead to much stronger 457 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: congressional support for the pioneering effort. However, the great hope 458 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: for un time under budget achievement is the Trump Pence 459 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: management system. The Trump administration has to relentlessly challenge the 460 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: bureaucracy to do things faster, better, cheaper. Without dramatic improvements 461 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: in cost and speed, the NASA system has no realistic 462 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: likelihood of beginning to develop the Moon in two thousand 463 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: twenty four and beginning to develop Mars by two thousand 464 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: thirty four. However, by applying the entrepreneurial principles of President 465 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: Trump and Vice President Pence, both goals become possible. Remember 466 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: that the woman rink has a real potential impact on 467 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: the Moon Mars development project. Now you may wonder why 468 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 1: I bring up the woman rink but every person involved 469 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: in designing and implementing the Moon Mars development project should 470 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: know the story of Donald J. Trump and the Woman Rink. 471 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: The Woman Rink was a very popular site for ice 472 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: skating in nineteen eighty. When it broke. You could tell 473 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,959 Speaker 1: it had broken because it had no ice. The New 474 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: York City bureaucracy spent six years and thirteen million dollars 475 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: trying to fix the rink, much like the NASSA and 476 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: Defense Department bureaucracies that hired a company with a remarkably 477 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: elaborate and sophisticated system with only one problem. It did 478 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: not work. You could tell it did not work because 479 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: there was no ice. After six years and thirteen million dollars, 480 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: Trump's apartment looked out over the skating rink and he 481 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: got tired of the failure. He taut at Mayor Koch, until, 482 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: in exasperation, the mayor challenged him to fix it. Trump 483 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: fixed the skating rink in four months for two million, 484 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: two hundred fifty thousand dollars. The first year, two hundred 485 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: and twenty five thousand people used the skating rink. By 486 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: hiring the best ice rink repair company in the world, 487 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: a Canadian firm that worked on a lot of professional 488 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: hockey stadiums. Trump reached beyond the bureaucratic norm and got 489 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: the job done. It is an historic fact that in 490 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 1: the Woman Rink project, Trump achieved the goal in one 491 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: fifth the cost and one eighteenth the time the city 492 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: bureaucracy had used in failing. Everyone involved in the Moon 493 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: Mars development project should think every day about how to 494 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: save time and money. In the woman Rink tradition, normal 495 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: bureaucratic explanations of running late or cost overruns should be 496 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: signals to change the system and possibly the personnel. Now, 497 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: the Woman Rink is reinforced by Vice President Pence's implementation principles. 498 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: Speaking March twenty six, twenty nineteen, to the National Space 499 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 1: Council in Huntsville, Alabama, Vice President Pence outlined the principles 500 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: which would make possible an on time achievement of President 501 00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: Trump schools for space. These five prince are so compelling 502 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: that they should be at the heart of planning and 503 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: implementing the Moon Mars Development project. Principal one, establish a 504 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: big goal and then stick to it. As Vice President 505 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: Pence said, failure to achieve our goal to return an 506 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: American astronaut to the Moon in the next five years. 507 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: It's not an option. Principal two. Be prepared to reach 508 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: outside of the traditional bureaucracy to new, entrepreneurial private companies 509 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 1: if it is necessary to get the job done. We're 510 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: not committed to anyone contractor. If our current contractors can't 511 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 1: meet this objective, then we'll find ones that will. If 512 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: American industry can provide critical commercial services without government development, 513 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 1: then we'll buy them. And if commercial rockets are the 514 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: only way to get American astronauts to the Moon in 515 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: the next five years, then commercial rockets it will be. 516 00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: Principle three. Be willing to change the bureaucracy rather than 517 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: abandon the goal. As Vice President Pence said, we will 518 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: call on NASA not just to adopt new policies, but 519 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: to embrace a new mindset that begins with setting bold 520 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: goals and staying on schedule. Vice President Pence recognizes that 521 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: a new mindset is more important than new money. A 522 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: new mindset is necessary because more money poured into failing 523 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: systems simply leads to more expensive failures. Principle four, be 524 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: determined to change the bureaucracy and fundamental ways, As Vice 525 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 1: President Pence said, NASA must transform itself into a leaner, 526 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: more accountable, and more agile organization. If NASA is not 527 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 1: currently capable of landing American astronauts on the Moon in 528 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: five years, we need to change the organization, not the mission. 529 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: Principle five, Urgency must replaced complacency. What we need now 530 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: is urgency. But it's not just competition against our adversaries. 531 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: We're also racing against our complacency. I believe this is 532 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: our generation's chance to change human history in a positive way. 533 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: We have been given a remarkable opportunity to be the 534 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: generation that breaks humans free from Earth and moves us 535 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 1: into the unknown. We have a chance to turn Star 536 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,280 Speaker 1: Trek in every movie about pioneering into space into a reality. 537 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 1: We have a chance to space become the home of 538 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,439 Speaker 1: freedom rather than tyranny, and the home of the rule 539 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 1: of law instead of dictatorship. President Trump is outlined an 540 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 1: historic mission which must become an American mission and must 541 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: be implemented with the courage, the energy, and the drive 542 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,399 Speaker 1: that its importance deserves. Now it is up to us 543 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: to figure out how to get it done.
