RUSH TRANSCRIPT Can be ░░░░░░░░ I m expecting them ░░░░░░░░ have a nice clean ░░░░░░░░ into orbit Kailey The ░░░░░░░░ of peak mechanical stress ░░░░░░░░ the rocket has been ░░░░░░░░ In about a minute ░░░░░░░░ expect the first stage ░░░░░░░░ engine will be cut ░░░░░░░░ Keith cowan will be ░░░░░░░░ with me through the ░░░░░░░░ of this early flight ░░░░░░░░ I want to at ░░░░░░░░ voice of Chad Anderson ░░░░░░░░ partner of space capital ░░░░░░░░ we have said repeatedly ░░░░░░░░ the last few minutes ░░░░░░░░ is a spacex rocket ░░░░░░░░ spacecraft that NASA is ░░░░░░░░ with Walk through how ░░░░░░░░ or the reliance NASA ░░░░░░░░ has on spacex permissions ░░░░░░░░ these Chad What keith ░░░░░░░░ is spot on What ░░░░░░░░ remarkable about the spacex ░░░░░░░░ on the dragon capsule ░░░░░░░░ how uneventful it is ░░░░░░░░ launches and does what ░░░░░░░░ is supposed to do ░░░░░░░░ gets the astronauts safely ░░░░░░░░ they want to go ░░░░░░░░ s interesting is that ░░░░░░░░ entire vehicle is autonomous ░░░░░░░░ the astronauts get to ░░░░░░░░ of sit back and ░░░░░░░░ all the way until ░░░░░░░░ dock Boeing receives twice ░░░░░░░░ funding to develop their ░░░░░░░░ They were the incumbent ░░░░░░░░ were supposed to be ░░░░░░░░ safe bet Spacex delivered ░░░░░░░░ ahead and when Boeing ░░░░░░░░ did launch astronauts to ░░░░░░░░ space station it was ░░░░░░░░ unsafe to bring them ░░░░░░░░ and spacex has stepped ░░░░░░░░ again Kailey I want ░░░░░░░░ know for our audience ░░░░░░░░ did see that first ░░░░░░░░ main engine cut off ░░░░░░░░ the first and second ░░░░░░░░ separating That back burning ░░░░░░░░ started as it is ░░░░░░░░ its way back to ░░░░░░░░ To the point about ░░░░░░░░ kind of routine nature ░░░░░░░░ these that we are ░░░░░░░░ some degree of creditability ░░░░░░░░ these launches it does ░░░░░░░░ into focus that these ░░░░░░░░ are bound somewhere going ░░░░░░░░ the International Space Station ░░░░░░░░ important is the work ░░░░░░░░ will be doing upon ░░░░░░░░ and how does it ░░░░░░░░ U S Ambitions in ░░░░░░░░ The International Space Station ░░░░░░░░ a national lab and ░░░░░░░░ do a lot of ░░░░░░░░ science and R D ░░░░░░░░ There s a lot ░░░░░░░░ really interesting experiments on ░░░░░░░░ launch and what the ░░░░░░░░ are going to do ░░░░░░░░ they get there One ░░░░░░░░ my favorite is the ░░░░░░░░ are going to test ░░░░░░░░ navigation technology They are ░░░░░░░░ to help spacecraft determine ░░░░░░░░ precise position even if ░░░░░░░░ primary systems like earth ░░░░░░░░ gps does not work ░░░░░░░░ becomes unavailable so they ░░░░░░░░ test star tractors and ░░░░░░░░ landmarks and I am ░░░░░░░░ and imu similar to ░░░░░░░░ we are doing alternative ░░░░░░░░ systems on earth we ░░░░░░░░ doing the same for ░░░░░░░░ moon for all these ░░░░░░░░ moon missions that have ░░░░░░░░ landing over the past ░░░░░░░░ of weeks that are ░░░░░░░░ to continue to do ░░░░░░░░ this fleet of vehicles ░░░░░░░░ to the moon throughout ░░░░░░░░ rest of the year ░░░░░░░░ We just saw on ░░░░░░░░ television the first chart ░░░░░░░░ the dragon spacecraft of ░░░░░░░░ 4 crewmembers I have ░░░░░░░░ say looking pretty relaxed ░░░░░░░░ they are making their ░░░░░░░░ ascent I believe traveling ░░░░░░░░ 6500 miles per hour ░░░░░░░░ now To pick up ░░░░░░░░ what Chad was just ░░░░░░░░ about can you talk ░░░░░░░░ the work they are ░░░░░░░░ and how this fits ░░░░░░░░ wider U S Efforts ░░░░░░░░ patients to get to ░░░░░░░░ moon but if you ░░░░░░░░ to Elon Musk eventually ░░░░░░░░ get to mars Keith ░░░░░░░░ s part of the ░░░░░░░░ is where the financing ░░░░░░░░ from This is a ░░░░░░░░ product To be honest ░░░░░░░░ will be 70 in ░░░░░░░░ I have been watching ░░░░░░░░ for over 60 years ░░░░░░░░ m actually more interested ░░░░░░░░ how the thing lands ░░░░░░░░ the crew If you ░░░░░░░░ at the way that ░░░░░░░░ in the falcon 9 ░░░░░░░░ you look at the ░░░░░░░░ you see a design ░░░░░░░░ and every time you ░░░░░░░░ one of these things ░░░░░░░░ is a bit of ░░░░░░░░ test flight and a ░░░░░░░░ of an operational flight ░░░░░░░░ get more experience and ░░░░░░░░ you get the bigger ░░░░░░░░ which can do more ░░░░░░░░ Every one of these ░░░░░░░░ another step towards our ░░░░░░░░ in doing these things ░░░░░░░░ with proficiency usually comes ░░░░░░░░ that are cheaper and ░░░░░░░░ things are the more ░░░░░░░░ you can do Kailey ░░░░░░░░ and we know None ░░░░░░░░ this is necessarily cheap ░░░░░░░░ great deal of money ░░░░░░░░ gone into this A ░░░░░░░░ of valuation for spacex ░░░░░░░░ incredibly high led by ░░░░░░░░ Musk On that note ░░░░░░░░ would point out that ░░░░░░░░ way in which butch ░░░░░░░░ and sunny williams have ░░░░░░░░ stuck in space has ░░░░░░░░ the country There have ░░░░░░░░ allegations from Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ the previous administration kept ░░░░░░░░ up there on purpose ░░░░░░░░ Like I mentioned what ░░░░░░░░ true is that we ░░░░░░░░ two vehicles that got ░░░░░░░░ crew funding Boeing failed ░░░░░░░░ deliver and spacex had ░░░░░░░░ step up to fill ░░░░░░░░ gap There is no ░░░░░░░░ about that Spacex from ░░░░░░░░ the underdog to being ░░░░░░░░ apex player in the ░░░░░░░░ of a decade which ░░░░░░░░ really remarkable and highlights ░░░░░░░░ importance for us to ░░░░░░░░ more than one solution ░░░░░░░░ crew nine lifted off ░░░░░░░░ a couple of weeks ░░░░░░░░ that starliner left the ░░░░░░░░ station without anyone on ░░░░░░░░ when it was deemed ░░░░░░░░ to bring those astronauts ░░░░░░░░ They bumped two astronauts ░░░░░░░░ that ride so they ░░░░░░░░ open up two seats ░░░░░░░░ always carefully rotates the ░░░░░░░░ of astronauts on board ░░░░░░░░ the number of rescue ░░░░░░░░ that are there and ░░░░░░░░ in case the catastrophic ░░░░░░░░ so they have always ░░░░░░░░ a ride back They ░░░░░░░░ come back if they ░░░░░░░░ needed to and NASA ░░░░░░░░ to get them up ░░░░░░░░ and keep the work ░░░░░░░░ to your earlier point ░░░░░░░░ keep the experiments being ░░░░░░░░ on the space station ░░░░░░░░ mentioned it was a ░░░░░░░░ mission I like that ░░░░░░░░ than a rescue mission ░░░░░░░░ I would point out ░░░░░░░░ are now seeing and ░░░░░░░░ the first stage landing ░░░░░░░░ that rocket comes back ░░░░░░░░ earth after burn It ░░░░░░░░ to me like that ░░░░░░░░ a clean landing What ░░░░░░░░ your reading Keith Yeah ░░░░░░░░ we are making jokes ░░░░░░░░ how many inches away ░░░░░░░░ center of the pet ░░░░░░░░ t land it is ░░░░░░░░ routine I don t ░░░░░░░░ butch I have known ░░░░░░░░ for over I have ░░░░░░░░ sunny for 20 years ░░░░░░░░ go knowing you might ░░░░░░░░ come home right away ░░░░░░░░ m pretty sure when ░░░░░░░░ said you got to ░░░░░░░░ in space a little ░░░░░░░░ it was like oh ░░░░░░░░ outer space a little ░░░░░░░░ longer and it was ░░░░░░░░ something for them to ░░░░░░░░ They could have come ░░░░░░░░ at any point like ░░░░░░░░ said It just worked ░░░░░░░░ better to have them ░░░░░░░░ longer Again you will ░░░░░░░░ smiles in their faces ░░░░░░░░ they land and I ░░░░░░░░ say they have they ░░░░░░░░ a great time in ░░░░░░░░ space Kailey On that ░░░░░░░░ it is worth pointing ░░░░░░░░ for those astronauts on ░░░░░░░░ the International Space Station ░░░░░░░░ and the 4 on ░░░░░░░░ way right now this ░░░░░░░░ an opportunity that very ░░░░░░░░ people actually get Chad ░░░░░░░░ is exactly right Luckily ░░░░░░░░ are in an era ░░░░░░░░ more and more people ░░░░░░░░ getting to go right ░░░░░░░░ used to be only ░░░░░░░░ people with the right ░░░░░░░░ those select few that ░░░░░░░░ nostra NASA astronauts that ░░░░░░░░ to go to space ░░░░░░░░ now that it is ░░░░░░░░ up much more broadly ░░░░░░░░ have spacex doing charter ░░░░░░░░ I have done multiple ░░░░░░░░ those They will do ░░░░░░░░ missions not just going ░░░░░░░░ into orbit and staying ░░░░░░░░ but also going much ░░░░░░░░ than that and doing ░░░░░░░░ Then you have other ░░░░░░░░ coming online as well ░░░░░░░░ this a lot more ░░░░░░░░ for the rest of ░░░░░░░░ which is a really ░░░░░░░░ time to be alive ░░░░░░░░ Thank you both so ░░░░░░░░ for joining me as ░░░░░░░░ all witnessed and heard ░░░░░░░░ launch of this crew ░░░░░░░░ NASA rocket and spacex ░░░░░░░░ to send astronauts back ░░░░░░░░ the International Space Station ░░░░░░░░ bring home butch wilmore ░░░░░░░░ sunny williams who are expected
