00:00The intent is that I can substitute in for anybody if they drop out at any time.
00:05So as you can imagine, that's a lot of things to cover and will require, I think, a lot from
00:12our trainers
00:12to make sure that I'm up to speed on the things that I need to be up to speed on.
00:17We're really looking at it as a crew of five and making sure that everybody's ready to go come launch.
00:24The objectives for this mission are so much more complex,
00:26and I think, therefore, the training is going to be that much more complex.
00:30What is going to be involved with the training for both the lunar landers,
00:35in addition to Orion, that differs from the mission that we just came off of?
00:40Well, I mean, it's much more integrated, right?
00:43Rather than just the Orion spacecraft team,
00:45it is going to be an integrated effort between our commercial partners of SpaceX and Blue Origin,
00:51in addition to the NASA team in mission control and the Orion team.
00:57So the training will likewise involve all of those partners in a fully integrated effort.
01:03And so we have an amazing team here at NASA that, you know,
01:07we have a chief training officer that will kind of set up that training for us
01:11to make sure that we know what we need to moving forward.
01:14But then the other piece of this is we are leveraging the skill sets of this crew.
01:19We've got Luca and Comrade as our test pilots.
01:24And that is, you know, one thing we talk about as test pilots is being comfortable being uncomfortable.
01:29And these are all developmental programs.
01:32And so some of the training happens during the development as you go.
01:35And so we'll certainly be leveraging that in this compressed timeline that we have for Artemis III.
01:39How do you see the training with the HLS systems evolving as the designs for both of those become more
01:47solidified?
01:48That's a great question.
01:49And I think that's part of the exciting part of this as we work with our commercial partners.
01:54We're watching the designs mature.
01:57And as those mature, us in partnership with the chief training officers
02:01and then the training teams at Blue Origin and SpaceX, respectively, will develop that training plan.
02:08We certainly gain really good experience from being in space.
02:11We gain a lot of experience from our training.
02:14The training is where we get all the different failure modes thrown at us.
02:18And we build those skill sets.
02:20We really learn a lot about vehicles.
02:22And we learn about how we should do our training and all that type of thing.
02:25The adage is that we preach in flight tests is the building block approach.
02:28We can refine those simulators to help us when it comes to the next step, which is docking with a
02:35vehicle.
02:35And that's the part that will be leveraged here.
02:38Those are real challenges.
02:39And so being able to test that stuff out in Earth orbit will really buy down risk for us
02:43once we get to Artemis 4, 5, and beyond.
