[Playful music] Text onscreen: We gave NASA engineers 10 minutes and a bin of magnetic building tiles ...
Offscreen: Five, four, three, two, one.
[page turning sound]
Coleman: All right, let's build a thing.
And my kids have these at home, and I do my best
to ignore them because I would end up just building up
a jillion of the same thing over and over again.
I get it built quick. [offscreen laughter] Offscreen: So we're good?
Coleman: We're good. Offscreen: All right.
Coleman: We're going to call it a representation of the Atlas 5 rocket
that JPSS-2 is going to launch on, which is definitely not
going to the moon.
Harrigan: We're done.
Offscreen: We're done. All right.
Well, done!
Ciampa: Okay.
I am the M.O.S.T.
mascot, the Arctic fox.
And I'm going to do a
foxy space colony today.
Done!
This colony houses our mascot
and all of our mascot’s buddies, which are the Arctic Foxes.
This is the rocket that gets them into their space colony.
Let's say it's on Mars
and they can go up and down the rocket to get their supplies.
Offscreen: Done. [applause]
All right,
great.
Birrittella: We'll call it --
scene.
Offscreen: We love it.
What are we calling this structure?
Birrittella: The Pyramid of Giza. Yeah.
I don’t know if you’ve heard of it. [laughs]
[laughs] Ruffa:
But I will start off by saying that when I told my wife I was doing this,
she kind of scoffed at me and said, ‘Bring the two year old.
She's better at this than you.’
[offscreen laughter]
Offscreen: Yeah, that’s what we're going for here.
Ruffa: This is a mobile data collection lab you would mount here
and then hold some sort of analysis chamber in here,
and then you would mount an antenna so you could stream the data back to
hopefully our planet when it's it's done its research.
And this is what a NASA engineer can build.
Text on screen: That’s what NASA engineers built in 10 minutes. Here’s what they built in 10 years ...
Joint Polar Satellite System-2.
NOAA’s JPSS-2 satellite will monitor extreme weather and climate change and support our daily weather forecasts.
It is scheduled to launch November 1st.
