the importance of landing humans back on
the moon
is we're going back in a way that is
totally different we've had almost 60
years of experience
and we're taking every single ounce of
experience we have
and taking that with our international
partners
with our commercial partner we've been
working for the last
year with three partners who will help
us achieve the next
human mission to the moon because we
know that this
first step to the moon will then lead us
to go to mars we know that the human
landing system
is one of the first steps to get us
there
and so we've been working with dinetics
alido's company
we've been working with blue origin who
have
partners of draper lockheed martin and
northrop grumman
in addition we've also been working with
[Music]
spacex
this is a very very exciting time for
the human landing system program
they've spent a lot of blood sweat and
tears
over this last couple years getting
ready for this moment
we're really excited to bring you the
announcement
of who nasa is going to continue to
finish out the human landing
system and take humans back to the moon
[Music]
nasa has chosen spacex to return us to
the moon
i am so excited to partner with spacex
in this fantastic endeavor for the
artemis suite of missions
so congratulations to the spacex team
the spacex design is a single stage
solution
using their starship it provides
extensive volume
for the crew with two air locks and
ample down mass capability
the spacex proposal included in space
propellant transfer demonstration
and uncrewed test landing
so now that we've selected our partner
and for the next
phase going forward we have to make sure
that the testing
occurs because we're not going to launch
humans until we have
a successful test so we will be working
to make sure that the design and
everything that we have going forward so
far is
ready to go so the human landing system
is going to allow us to be able to
access different parts of the lunar
surface
but it also allows us to explore a new
technology
and capabilities that will help us when
we are trying to
figure out our next round of
technologies to be able to help us
land on mars or our other planets out
there
i'd like to thank the companies for
the great work this this past year
we've all learned a lot i'd like to
thank the nasa team
because you have definitely risen to
this challenge
it is one more step
and an exciting group of steps that will
get us to a sustainable human landing
system
to the moon
[Music]
you
