First segment of NASA Destination Tomorrow episode 18 describing the different parts of NASA missions to prepare for the exploration of space.
Hello, everyone. I'm Steele McGonigal. And I'm Cara O'Brien. Welcome to this special
00:00:00
edition of Destination Tomorrow. On this episode, we'll be focusing on NASA's
00:00:11
new exploration plans to travel to the Moon, Mars and beyond. In recent months, NASA planners
00:00:15
have been preparing for a new initiative that will set a pioneering vision for NASA's exploration
00:00:21
programs. To prepare for this vision, NASA researchers are developing a step-by-step
00:00:25
process that will enable us to reach this goal in a safe and economical way. First by
00:00:30
using robotic missions as a testbed, then gradually moving into human missions, NASA
00:00:35
is paving the way for a human presence on other worlds in the next few decades. This
00:00:40
new NASA vision will help us carry on the basic human desire to explore.
00:00:44
From the earliest discoverers to our modern travelers, every step taken from the known
00:00:48
into the unknown has helped to feed this exploration instinct. One of the most important
00:00:53
agencies ever formed to help meet this need is NASA, or the National Aeronautics and Space
00:00:58
Administration. Obviously, exploration has been one of the cornerstones of the NASA mission
00:01:03
throughout its existence. Over the years, the talented men and women of NASA have changed
00:01:08
our world for the better, making exciting discoveries that have not only furthered the
00:01:14
space program, but have also transformed our daily lives here on Earth. In fact, for
00:01:18
every dollar NASA spends in space, at least $7 is returned to the public by way of inventions
00:01:23
and discoveries. This investment return can be seen in everyday technologies, ranging
00:01:28
from cordless power tools, cancer research, to weather prediction. Over 30,000 inventions
00:01:34
and discoveries have been made as a direct result of NASA's involvement.
00:01:40
Although NASA has done a great job pushing the envelope of exploration in space and back
00:01:44
here on Earth, there is still much more that needs to be done. Even with great public support
00:01:49
to reach our exploration goals, few people understand the challenges we'll face in getting
00:01:53
to other worlds. To help us better understand the technical and environmental problems we'll
00:01:58
encounter, researchers will first plan to test the waters by increasing our robotic
00:02:02
presence throughout the universe. These robotic missions will expand our knowledge base and
00:02:07
help us focus training that will prepare humans for the next step of exploration. Now
00:02:12
to help us understand how this will work, Jennifer Pulley spoke with Mark Saunders at
00:02:16
NASA Langley Research Center to find out more.
