(bright, shining musical note)
- [Controller] Ignition sequence start.
- [Controller 2] Roger.
All engines are running.
- [Narrator] We have
taken tremendous steps.
- We choose to go to the Moon,
before this decade is out.
- [Narrator] We have
achieved the earth-shaking,
the breathtaking, the groundbreaking.
- [Astronaut] One small step for man.
- [Narrator] And left
a mark in the heavens.
Our successes build one upon another,
and amplify what is possible.
- [Announcer] The dawn of Orion.
- [Narrator] It's time we
take the next great leap.
We're building the next chapter
of American exploration,
returning to the Moon, to stay.
So we can go beyond, to Mars.
To expand what's possible,
and further our understanding.
The architecture for these
missions is already taking shape.
We will go with new systems, bold designs,
and a sustainable mission.
You can hear it, taste it, touch it.
We are going.
We are training, testing, pressing,
our pioneering spirit
into every component.
Defining our resolve
with every line of code.
And securing our success with
every welcomed partnership.
This is not hypothetical.
This is not about flags and footprints.
This is about sustainable science,
and feeding forward the
advance of the human spirit.
Because we are the
pioneers, the star-sailors,
the thinkers, the visionaries, the doers.
And because we stand on
the shoulders of giants,
to go farther than humanity has ever been.
We will add our names to the rolls
of the greatest adventurers in history.
Every day, every mission,
we advance this calling.
WE. ARE. NASA.
And after 60 years, we're
just getting started.
