(Jim Garvin) Everything we've ever put into space, into orbit, every image of the Earth,

3
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:19,920
every echo of the universe, it all
started with an idea. An idea of how to

4
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,240
explore. Some of the greatest minds in
the country here at Goddard Space Flight

5
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:29,189
Center have been working to take the
ideas and map them into the methods of

6
00:00:29,189 --> 00:00:34,559
exploring. The way we do that is by
building satellites. And right here at

7
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:39,210
Goddard Space Flight Center we put
together the ideas with the how, the

8
00:00:39,210 --> 00:00:44,700
building of the satellites. Now what are
the questions we need to ask? How do the

9
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:49,590
oceans work? What is happening to the
Earth's climate? How is the Sun changing?

10
00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:55,140
How can we predict space weather? These are the foundational ideas that drive

11
00:00:55,140 --> 00:01:00,570
the questions that lead to the
spacecraft. The idea phase is all about

12
00:01:00,570 --> 00:01:07,640
the why. The design phase and the
following phases are all about the how.
