00:04America will never again give up the moon.
00:06That brings us to the next step, building the moon base.
00:10It should not really surprise anyone that we are pausing Gateway in its current form
00:14and focusing on infrastructure that supports sustained operations on the lunar surface.
00:20Despite some of the very real hardware and schedule challenges,
00:23we can repurpose equipment and international partner commitments
00:26to support surface and other program objectives.
00:29Now, regardless of the pathway, NASA will invest the limited budget available over the years
00:33to work with commercial providers to build the future LUEO presence,
00:37which includes maturing capabilities, expanding commercial opportunities through the PAM program,
00:42while creating what we hope is an achievable glide path to commercially operated space stations.
00:47The International Space Station has served humanity well, but it will not operate forever.
00:51The transition to commercial stations must be thoughtful and set up industry for success.
00:56As we move forward, we intend to launch Artemis 3 in 2027 to test the integrated operations of Orion
01:02and one or both lunar landers in Earth orbit.
01:06Expectations are rightfully very high.
01:08The taxpayers and their representatives in Congress should demand accountability from every vendor,
01:13every leader, every CEO if those expectations are not met.
01:19The International Space Station has served humanity well as the United States of the United States of the United States
