00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,500
Launch commentator:
And liftoff of Artemis One!

2
00:00:02,500 --> 00:00:06,166
We rise together, back to
the Moon and beyond!

3
00:00:27,466 --> 00:00:29,233
Noah Petro: I’m not used
to talking about trees.

4
00:00:29,233 --> 00:00:32,200
I like rocks, which is easier.

5
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,733
Seeds represent the most
optimistic of our species.

6
00:00:35,733 --> 00:00:38,833
Given our reliance on wood,
from raw material for a home,

7
00:00:38,833 --> 00:00:41,033
to a baseball bat,
and now a spacecraft,

8
00:00:41,033 --> 00:00:43,600
planting a seedling is an
investment in our future.

9
00:00:43,966 --> 00:00:46,266
The tree may not bring
you fruit, but it will bring

10
00:00:46,266 --> 00:00:47,633
future generations fruit.

11
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:50,733
In 1962, President Kennedy
said these words:

12
00:00:50,733 --> 00:00:52,800
“We meet in an hour of
change and challenge,

13
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,366
in a decade of hope and fear,

14
00:00:54,366 --> 00:00:56,266
and an age of both
knowledge and ignorance.

15
00:00:56,266 --> 00:00:58,100
The greater of our
knowledge increases,

16
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:00,866
the greater of our
ignorance unfolds.”

17
00:01:00,866 --> 00:01:03,800
Artemis I continued in the grand
tradition of what Artemis II

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,300
astronaut Victor Glover
suggested during his visit

19
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:08,366
to Goddard as
vessels of humanity

20
00:01:08,366 --> 00:01:11,466
that we take our culture
with us into the cosmos.

21
00:01:11,466 --> 00:01:12,866
That we should choose
to take seeds

22
00:01:12,866 --> 00:01:14,466
and plant them for
future generations

23
00:01:14,466 --> 00:01:16,966
to enjoy, to remind us
earthbound explorers

24
00:01:16,966 --> 00:01:18,900
that despite the problems
we face here,

25
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:20,966
we remain connected to
our future in space.

26
00:01:21,333 --> 00:01:22,766
I'm hopeful that our -

27
00:01:22,766 --> 00:01:24,800
all of our shared work
on Artemis missions

28
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,433
will bring similar fruit
to future generations.
