00:00We did a test out in Hawthorne, California, where we brought everyone together, the astronauts,
00:05NASA, SpaceX, in their airlock mock-up and on their elevator for the Starship vehicle.
00:11This is a really unique opportunity. It's been a long time since anybody has run a test like this,
00:18really back since the Apollo days. So to pull off the Artemis III mission, to land on the Moon,
00:22we've got to get our spacesuits, their Starship lander, and all the other internal systems to
00:28work together in unison perfectly. This was an incredibly successful test for a variety of
00:37reasons. All the pre-coordination, all the test planning, all the logistics that you're sorting
00:41through on how you're going to execute the test. There's actually a lot of engineering value in
00:45that and preparing all the products that are required to run a test like this. It was also
00:50successful because we were able to hear from the crew, Peggy and Doug, how was the system working
00:55for them? What was this like getting in and out of the suit? What was it like stepping out of the
01:01airlock mock-up? How did we route this umbilical or put this equipment there or here? So getting
01:06that feedback back from the crew is crucially important so that our engineering teams can take
01:10that feedback and go iterate very rapidly on the next solution that we'll evaluate.
01:16We've got people from all sorts of different backgrounds, different skill sets, different
01:21experiences in life, different experiences in the workforce and careers. It's an incredibly
01:25diverse team and really what we find is through that team we're able to bring a lot of innovation
01:30and a lot of experience and mix that together to move quickly as a program but also come up
01:34with some very innovative solutions to the challenges. It's a very significant event for the team.
01:40We'll certainly have more events as we continue to refine designs and and iterate on on our
01:44processes and procedures and things like that as we go forward. And this is this is important from
01:49a strategic perspective as well because ultimately all this leads to the culminating event which
01:54would be flying the Artemis 3 mission and we're trying to prepare all these products to enable
01:58that reality of having hundreds and thousands and millions of people living in space
02:03working in space because I think that's where the next advancements are going to come from.
