Well, out of here, so thank you for coming out. We really appreciate it. We've been really active in social media for a long time, since about 2008. So those of you who are doing that, Morris tonight, you're joining a special family. We'd really like to engage with you. We'd glad that you're a part of it, and thank you for being here. So I'll stop talking out because nobody cares without me. We'll get on to our part. Well, my wife does. Okay. But we'll start off tonight. Of course, you know, we're here to see 2001, a space-auticy, deep space exploration, and someone who knows a little bit about that is sitting directly to my lab, the administrator, Charles Bolden, a longtime Marine aviator, but of course a four-time shuttle, Aspernaut, two-time commander, and of course, is helping direct us on our next giant lead. And the big question that a lot of people in the basking house is, why Mars? Why Mars? And I'm going to let Buzz talk about it as much as I, because he and I have talked quite a bit about this topic. We both believe that Mars is what we call the ultimate destination for humanity right now. I have my granddaughter, McHaleo, there, and McHaleo always cautions me that Mars is not the ultimate destination. It's intergalactic travel. And I said, McHaleo, you know, I can only handle the solar system. So Buzz started this when he and Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. And as I'm certain he's going to tell you, that step on the surface of the moon was intended to be a precursor for humanity going farther into the solar system. And what he and I was both liked to really see is some of the young people who were sitting out here in the audience who are my granddaughters at the lights. The freshman in high school in Baltimore, be among the first to take Buzz's place and set foot on it, and other by off this planet. And so that's ultimately why that is NASA's next destination, President McHaleo, has made it very easy for us because back in 2010, he said as an objective for us, the Congress of the United States, believe it or not, agrees with the President. They're all excited to say that. To demonstrate that they agree, they put it into the authorization act of 2010. So NASA has two big things we're trying to do, our next small step is to try to capture an asteroid by 2025 and put humans through that in lunar orbit. I will use lunar orbit and the infrastructure here is a stepping stone to get on to Mars in the 2030s. And next all on to the moon. We can't. We can't. You should tell about anything you want to talk about right there. Yes, you can tell about anything you want to talk about. What point though, often we're asked, what's your favorite planet? People will say Mars or Jupiter or Earth. So, Mars or Earth? Yeah, I was about to say Earth. Because we'd like to come back, you know, like to make it around trip, but Buzz and talking about Mars, that's not necessarily the case in terms of pioneering the right planet. Here, you're not necessarily going to have to be a two-way trip, doesn't it? I want you to get used to these glasses, because my son wears glasses, and I put these on, and I'm like, see, since I look just like him. But when I get to get a new pair of glasses, I feel like. Just for a second, I'm going to stay up for a second, just let everyone. So, everybody knows what to talk about. I actually make these for the kids to get my glasses. But you've really talked about the ultimate five-year-old Mars, which is Go and Stay. It's... Could be called a cell. Could be called a colony. But, you know, I'll bet you that you can still call it a cell, but we're calling it a lie. Come on there. Come it back. But let me get one. Come it back. Then you say, it's a nice lot of workplace, right? I think we look to a cell. So, that's what cellarmut or colony means to me. You can change your mind. I took the liberty of beginning to use one of the Charlie's words, a bit more of a pioneering. But I'm going to add it to my word of permanence, pioneering permanence. Now, you can ask a big company going, Rocky, what's their plan to get tomorrow? And I suspect I know what it is. Because I know what some of the latest NASA designed reference missions are, because I have read them. And it's not the way I see it. I remember going over to Cambridge and England to talk to Stephen Hawking. Name Robert. Well, see, I first met him when he was visiting Pasadena. And that was shortly after he had issued a statement that said the Earth has about 200 years as he sees it for us to establish a off-earth civilization. I don't know whether he's talking about pestilence, nuclear war, asteroid impact, or cockroaches. But I went up to it and I said, you know, we can do better than 200 years. So I think we can maybe 30 years. I recently have come up with a question. And I would really like for somebody to tabulate and answer if it makes sense. How many people do you think would be in a lander? Standing on Mars? Let's say on the first trip. No, I'm asking you. Well, since I have to live within the confines of budgets and other things that these folks know about, our plan right now is to have a lander that has anywhere from a crew of two to seven. And the question I would ask you to ask answers for some of the young kids is because eventually they're going to want to ask about robots. Because they're going to want to say, and I will ask the question for the young lady right here. Why should we go at all when we can send robots? And I have an answer. I know you have an answer, but I think they'd be interested in hearing from you. Why do you think it is that we need robots? But why are robots not the ultimate answer for seven non-monks? Who is we? We meaning us human beings. Why do we need to send humans? This is the question I get hit with all the time. You know, as an acid mentor, what do you want to put astronauts at risk? Now, we're talking about we the United States. No, I don't. I talk about we as humanity. We talk about ourselves. I know I work for you all. I seriously do. I'm a civil servant. I work for you. But I think it's really important for most of you to understand that at NASA we work internationally. And we we pursue the kind of stuff that buzz really does believe in, which is if we're going to go off this planet and settle other places and the place that we both believe is Mars, it is going to have to be with other nations. I use the International Space Station as a great example today because it's a committee United Nations. I think the space station is a model for the way that we could travel tomorrow. Well, if you really mean what you're saying, and I say we means the United States, and you say it means the world, it must mean China. That other nations will get to you. Okay, so if we don't go, the Chinese are going to go. Nobody's going to go if we don't go. The point that everybody should understand we have to do. We have to do a few new arguments here. Because I really want all of these folks to understand that we really are the leaders of the world right now in terms of exploration and science and technology development. And we are. No one who else has landed something off this planet. Who else is buzz is the only person in this form who has ever lived off this planet. There is one first person, you know, of the two surviving today, and that's him. And we are here this weekend to celebrate the 45th anniversary of his landing on the moon. And we are. Woohoo!
