CANDACE CAMPOS AND TRAFFIC SAFETY EXPERT TROOPER STEVE, THIS IS NEWS 6 AT 09:00AM
GETTING RESULTS.
>> IT LOOKS LIKE WE’LL HAVE TO
WAIT A LITTLE LONGER TO SEE
FIRST HELICOPTER FLIGHT ON
MARS. NASA WAS PLANNING TO
MAKE ITS SECOND ATTEMPT
TOMORROW. BUT NOW NASA SAYS
THAT HISTORIC FLIGHT WON’T
HAPPEN UNTIL NEXT WEEK. ONE OF
THE COOL THINGS ABOUT THIS
MILESTONE IS THAT THE FIRST
FLIGHT ON MARS WILL HAVE A
PIECE FROM THE FIRST FLIGHT
THAT TOOK PLACE HERE ON EARTH
IN NASA’S REALLY GOOD TO STOP
RIGHT. WE’LL FOR IT LAUNCHED
INTO ORBIT. LAST YEAR. NASA
ENGINEERS INSTALLED FABRIC ON
INGENUITY FROM THE 19. ’03,
WRIGHT FLYER.
>> JULIE: THAT FABRIC HAS BEEN
AN HISTORIC SPACE FLIGHTS
BEFORE I RECENTLY CAUGHT UP IN
JUST JEFF STAMFORD FROM THE
ORLANDO SCIENCE CENTER AS WELL
AS SHARON HAGEL OF SPACE.
KIDS, GLOBAL WHO MONTHS AGO
HELPED BRING A PIECE OF THE
WRIGHT BROTHERS FIRST AIRPLANE
TO CENTRAL FLORIDA.
>> ALL ABOUT THE ORLANDO
CONNECTION HERE ON YES, YOU
KNOW, INGENUITY HELICOPTER IS
CARRYING WITH IT. A PIECE OF
WRIGHT BROTHERS FABRIC WHEN IT
MAKES ITS HISTORIC FLIGHT ON
MARS. AND WE HAVE BEEN VERY
FORTUNATE THANKS TO. SHARE.
AND I TO HAVE OUR OWN PIECE OF
THE BROTHERS, A FABRIC THAT
FLEW ON APOLLO 11 WITH NEIL
ARMSTRONG AND WE CURRENTLY
HAVE THAT ON DISPLAY THERE IN
ORLANDO, SCIENCE CENTER. WE
REFERRED THIS PIECE OF FABRIC.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE ORLANDO
SCIENCE CENTER. WHAT WHAT IS
THAT WHERE PEOPLE SEE THEIR
ACTUALLY SEEN A CASE OF THE
FLYER. WE THAT WAS ON KENNY
HAWKINS FOR THE WRIGHT
BROTHERS. WHEN NEIL ARMSTRONG
WENT TO THE MOON. IT WAS GIVEN
PORTION OF THAT WING AND ASKED
TO TAKE IT WHEN HE LANDED AND
WALKED ON THE AND BECAUSE THE
RICK AND MARK ARMSTRONG, THEY
HAVE SECTIONED OFF IN PIECES
AND ARE SPREADING ACROSS THE
COUNTRY. JUST PART OF THE
SCIENCE CENTER IS MAKING KIDS
DO ALL SORTS OF FUN LEARNING
WITHOUT REALIZING THAT THEY’RE
LEARNING.
>> JULIE: TELL US ABOUT THE
EXCITEMENT THERE AS YOU’RE
PREPARING TO WATCH THIS NEXT
STEP IN SPACE EXPLORATION.
>> THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE TIME
IN OUR HISTORY. THE RETURN TO
SPACE THE RETURN TO THE ROVERS
ON MARS FLYING A HELICOPTER ON
MARS. THIS IS WHY ORLANDO
SCIENCE CENTER IS HERE TO
CONNECT PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY
YOUNG PEOPLE WITH THE AMAZING
SCIENCE THAT IS GOING OUT IN
THE WORLD AND AND LETTING THEM
KNOW THAT THEY CAN BE A PART
OF IT. SO WE’RE VERY EXCITED
TO THE PROGRAMS AND THE
EXHIBITS THAT WE’RE YOU. SO
THOUGH RELEVANCE OF THE IMPACT
OF SCIENCE AND THEN TO HAVE
THIS MONUMENTAL PIECE OF
HISTORY. THIS FABRIC THAT WAS
ON THE FIRST AIRPLANE AND THEN
I WENT TO THE MOON AND WE HAVE
ON DISPLAY HERE AT THE SCIENCE
I THINK IT’S ONE OF REAL
WONDER THAT PEOPLE ARE AMAZED
THAT THIS IS THE AUTHENTIC
PIECE THAT’S ON DISPLAY. AND
THAT IT WENT TO THE MOON AND
THERE IT IS. AND AND IT’S ALSO
I THINK THE THING THAT PEOPLE
REALLY START TO MAKE THE
CONNECTION. IT WAS ONLY 6060,
YEARS FROM THE TIME THAT THE
WRIGHT BROTHERS AIRPLANE TOOK
OFF.
>> NEIL ARMSTRONG WALKING ON
THE ROAD. AND JEREMY SAID YOUR
ORGANIZATION HAS A SPECIAL
EMPHASIS ON INSPIRING YOUNG
GIRLS. WHAT ARE YOU HEARING IS
YOU’RE GOING TO SCHOOL SEE
VIRTUALLY OR IN PERSON FROM
YOUNG GIRLS, ESPECIALLY SO
MUCH HAPPENING RIGHT NOW WITH
SPACE EXPLORATION AND WE’LL
SEE THE FIRST WOMAN ON THE
MOON SOON HEADING TO THE
BOUNCE. AND WHAT ARE YOU
HEARING FROM YOUNG GIRLS ABOUT
US.
>> THE MAIN THING THAT KIDS,
ESPECIALLY THE GIRLS ARE
SAYING IS I NEVER KNEW THAT
THERE WERE OTHER JOBS IN THE
SPACE INDUSTRY OTHER THAN AN
ASTRONAUT. AND I THINK IT’S
VERY IMPORTANT THAT KIDS
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE’S A TEAM
OF PEOPLE BEHIND EVERY LAUNCH
THAT HAPPENED WITH OUR
PARTNERSHIP, WITH THE ORLANDO
SCIENCE CENTER. WHAT WE’VE
BEEN ABLE TO DO IS BRING SPACE
TO KIDS SO THAT THEY ARE UP
CLOSE AND PERSONAL THAT THEY
CAN PARTICIPATE RATHER THAN
JUST BEING A SPECTATOR.
>> JULIE: THE WRIGHT BROTHERS
FABRIC IS PART OF THE
PERMANENT COLLECTION AT THE
ORLANDO SCIENCE CENTER AND IS
CURRENTLY ON DISPLAY AT THE
FLIGHT LAB EXPERIENCE. THEY
WERE ALSO TELLING ME THEY HAVE
AN EXHIBIT RIGHT NOW. I THINK
IT’S CALLED PIONEERING PLANET
OR PLANET PIONEERS WHERE YOU
CAN LEARN HOW TO LIVE ON OTHER
PLANETS, WHICH OF COURSE WILL
BE RELEVANT AS WE CONTINUE TO
MOVE THROUGH THE REST OF OUR
SPACE EXPLORATION IN THE
UPCOMING YEARS. ALWAYS
SOMETHING THAT THE SCIENCE.
AND I THINK THAT DISPLAY HE
SAID HIS MAY BE AROUND FOR
ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH I MAY 9TH.
I THINK YOU SAID.
>> BRIDGETT: IT’S JUST SO
GREAT. I MEAN, YOU ARE THE ONE
THAT WHEN I FIRST HAD A LESSON
HERE LIKE TICKETS SCIENCE
CENTER DOES TEST TAKER THERE.
AND IT’S JUST SO MANY
DIFFERENT. YOU KNOW, SECTIONS
