00:00:00.333 --> 00:00:03.633
Artemis is our return to
the Moon after 50 years.

2
00:00:03.866 --> 00:00:05.900
The emphasis of Artemis
is going to be,

3
00:00:05.900 --> 00:00:06.966
first of all, science.

4
00:00:07.066 --> 00:00:09.133
But second of all,
learning to

5
00:00:09.133 --> 00:00:11.000
sustain a presence on
another world,

6
00:00:11.166 --> 00:00:13.333
first on the Moon,
but we're hoping that

7
00:00:13.333 --> 00:00:16.033
that's a steppingstone
to Mars and other

8
00:00:16.033 --> 00:00:18.333
destinations in the
solar system eventually.

9
00:00:26.633 --> 00:00:28.600
Artemis II will be
a flyby mission.

10
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:30.066
It's not going to land.

11
00:00:30.066 --> 00:00:32.466
We're testing all
of the technology

12
00:00:32.466 --> 00:00:34.866
that we've created
for flying to the Moon

13
00:00:34.866 --> 00:00:36.200
since Apollo.

14
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.766
They will be flying by
the Moon at an altitude

15
00:00:38.766 --> 00:00:41.100
that's much higher
than Apollo's orbits,

16
00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:43.966
and so they will see the
entire disk of the Moon,

17
00:00:43.966 --> 00:00:47.400
including areas that are
closer to both the north and

18
00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:50.900
south pole, that astronauts
from Apollo never saw.

19
00:00:51.233 --> 00:00:53.733
During Apollo 8,
on their fourth orbit,

20
00:00:53.733 --> 00:00:56.866
they finally turned their
spacecraft around so that

21
00:00:56.866 --> 00:00:58.800
they could see in the
direction of the Earth.

22
00:00:59.233 --> 00:01:01.800
I think it surprised
all of them how

23
00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:04.733
beautiful and how
human it was to see

24
00:01:04.733 --> 00:01:06.366
the entire planet Earth

25
00:01:06.366 --> 00:01:09.166
from behind the horizon
of another celestial body.

26
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:13.466
Artemis is going to have that
opportunity once again.

27
00:01:13.800 --> 00:01:16.600
I anticipate that the
astronauts will have

28
00:01:16.600 --> 00:01:19.233
the same feeling that the
Apollo 8 astronauts did,

29
00:01:19.233 --> 00:01:21.366
and I think it will have
a similar effect

30
00:01:21.366 --> 00:01:23.000
on a new generation
of people

31
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.600
who are watching
this mission unfold.
