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!

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.
