00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:14.620
(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.
