00:00As you orbit the Earth, I did not see racial division.
00:11I did not see religious division.
00:16And I did not see political division.
00:19I saw that we are all in this together as citizens of planet Earth.
00:253, 2, 1, boosters in ignition, and liftoff of Artemis 1.
00:32We go to space to improve life here on Earth.
00:37And the way to do that is together with international partners.
00:42I've seen time and time again a truth that space unites peoples of the Earth, unites
00:51nations like few other things can.
00:55It builds partnerships, and it deepens old partnerships.
01:02Discovery is good for diplomacy, and diplomacy is good for discovery.
01:10New things are possible.
01:13More things are possible because we're going together.
01:16And we're going together as nations now more than ever before.
01:24Here at NASA, that portrait has never been brighter because we're going to work together
01:30through Artemis.
01:31We're going back to the moon.
01:33We're going back to learn, to live, to invent, to create as international partners in order
01:40that we can go to Mars.
01:44The family of nations is as large and as strong as ever, and it's growing by the day.
01:49We're going to study the climate.
01:51We're going to do science like it's never been seen.
01:55We're going to go deeper into the heavens than ever before.
01:59We go to space to learn the secrets of the universe, yet in the process, we learn about
02:05something else.
02:07We learn about ourselves.
02:10By working together up there, we're not only going to benefit life down here, but we're
02:17going to model what planet Earth and our citizens can be, and that is working together, nations
02:27united in the quest for knowledge, in the cause of discovery, and in the name of peace.
