We're going to the moon
to live and work there and experiment
and develop new fuels and to get a habitat on the moon
and all of this in preparation so we can go all the way
to Mars.
We're going back
to stay on the moon, to live and to work
as human beings in a hostile environment, to get ready to go,
not the quarter of a million miles to the moon,
but to go the millions and millions of miles
to Mars.
It's the entire rocket on its mobile
launch platform that will roll out the three miles
to pad 39 B.
They will fuel up the rocket.
Thus, the wet dress rehearsal
Check out all the systems and then they will
roll it back into the vehicle assembly building
on our waiting for the time that we will roll out and then launch
We're going to launch this most powerful rocket
and test our Orion spacecraft
and it's going to be in deep space.
It'll be the first time we test the integrated system
of the rocket in the spacecraft all together.
And over the course of the mission, which is going to last about a month,
Orion will make its history by venturing further
than any other spacecraft that has been built for humans
tens of thousands of miles beyond the moon.
And then we'll demonstrate
that Orion can come back through the fiery heat of reentry
from lunar velocities that are faster
than when we came back with the Space Shuttle,
and then we'll demonstrate that it can recover safely
as a splashdown in the ocean
It's going to launch
probably a month after we do the wet dress rehearsal
and this Orion capsule, uncrewed,
is going to lift off from launch complex
39 B at the Kennedy Space Center.
After a successful wet dress rehearsal,
we have to go back in and and back in the vehicle assembly building
and check out everything to make this
an incredible feat of engineering
once we light that candle and it takes off
