00:04¡Gracias!
00:42¡Gracias!
01:01Ok, we'll come here.
01:03Let's wait for Mike to come around.
01:04You know, we are still working very, very closely with all of our prime contractors.
01:10In fact, you know, the issue that we had that required us to roll back to the VAB,
01:16the helium quick disconnect connection there, was a great example that showed our NASA teams
01:24and our contractor teams from Boeing and ULA and from our ground system contractor teams
01:32and our NASA teams all working together as one team.
01:36It was fantastic.
01:38And it's great to see we're, you know, we're just trying to solve the problems and get the work done.
01:42So we are working really closely with our contractors, all the contractors and the NASA folks,
01:47including the folks from Boeing, Lockheed, ULA, Northrop Grumman, we're all in there together.
01:54And there's more as well, but we're all in there together.
01:57Roe, Lauren Grush.
02:00Hi, Lauren Grush with Bloomberg.
02:02We had one item that had to be closed in time for the L-2,
02:05and that item was working with our medical teams, with the chief medical officer,
02:10looking at other countries around the world where if we had an emergency abort
02:16and we landed in different seas, we needed to use medical facilities that were nearby.
02:21And some of those other countries, it was working with those countries to assure we have the right agreements in
02:26place.
02:26And I believe those are getting close to closure.
02:29They will be closed by tomorrow.
02:30And so that's the intent there.
02:32Where are some of the other item 4's launch and the mission are going?
02:35Welcome and thank you for...
02:37So getting into launch countdown, we've checked out our cryo systems, our LH-2 and lock systems, and all those
02:42tests have passed.
02:43We've done radio frequency tests with our launch vehicle and the spacecraft, and that went very well.
02:51And so we're really ready.
02:54We're going to start our launch countdown around 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
02:58We'll finish some pad washdowns, some mobile launcher washdowns, and we'll get on with it.
03:03So at this point, we can safely say the crew's ready, the rocket's ready, the spaceship's ready, ground systems are
03:10ready,
03:10and we only need to have the weather to cooperate on Thursday and we're ready to go.
03:13John, thank you.
03:15We, too, are incredibly excited to be here.
03:18We all recognize the historical significance of this mission, but our teams are still focused on making sure the rocket
03:25is fully prepared and ready to go.
03:27That is our focus.
03:30Since the rollout was complete on the 20th, the teams have worked to make sure that the connections, the ML
03:36and the pad infrastructure, all correct.
03:39The vehicle is talking to the pad, it's talking to the systems, and everything is coming along good.
03:45And like Sean said, everything seems to be going well between the vehicle and the pad.
03:50All right.
03:50Thanks, Chris.
03:51I am also very...
03:53So from our perspective, our spaceship is ready to go and fly Reed, Victor, Jeremy, and Christina to the moon
04:01and back.
04:02I would say that it's part of normal processing that we have final items that we'd load.
04:08For example, the cruise laptop.
04:11In the first flight with a complete life support system puts an awful lot on the plate.
04:16Uniquely for life support, we put actually humans with the life support system, both in the cabin environment and also
04:25in the spacesuits.
04:25And we've been designing the system since the very beginning of the program.
04:30And over the last decade plus, we've been doing testing across the board with suits and with the environmental control
04:38systems in the cabin and with human subjects.
04:43We have a vacuum chamber at Johnson Space Center that allows us to do that.
04:49So that's one part of it in terms of the final kind of checkout with people.
04:53But along the way, just like any other hardware we do, we test at the individual box level.
04:57We test at the harness and connector level.
05:00And then we also test an integrated system, you can imagine, in a pallet.
05:04And, of course, we do the spacecraft checkout as well.
05:06So there's varying steps that we take and increase fidelity by which we do this testing.
05:14And that testing includes the actual flight software that controls some of the ECLSS hardware or life support hardware that
05:21we need.
05:21So a very robust test campaign comprised of not only just components, integrated systems, and with people.
05:29So with Aviation Week, for Sean...
05:32And so the Artemis II demonstration gives the crew an opportunity to really, I would say, test drive the car.
05:38They get a chance to really get a sense of the feedback through the system of how the spacecraft performs.
05:44And that's going to be really important.
05:46And whether they need to or not for Artemis III, we can decide that later.
05:51But to characterize that, to understand that capability and what the spaceship can do and perform
05:56and the response that it would provide is really important.
06:00And I think demonstrating that Artemis II will definitely give us a great understanding and buy-down risk
06:05as we move forward to Artemis III and beyond.
06:09...options for Orion if you need to make a maneuver that doesn't get you...
