It was just a year and a half ago that the president of the United States put in his state of the Union Address that we are going to launch american astronauts on american rockets from american soil. He looked at me and said you are going to make that happen. Here we are a year and a half later. And the help of elon musk the spacex team, we have delivered. But of course, the president s agenda is just beginning, there is so much more. He turned around and recreated a moon program. He said we are going to go to the moon for a purpose, because we as a nation are going to get to mars. Agency we call nasa is excited about it. I want to tell you a quick story. Im here to introduce the president , but i have to take a moment. It was about nine years ago. The Space Shuttle atlantis landed right here for the last Space Shuttle mission in the history of the u.

Knows the route to laguardia and hes on the news line now. Captain mark welcome, good to have you with us. In retrospect should the airport have been closed before this event could take place .

You want to land into the wind but you certainly want to be landing into the wind when the runway has something on it like snow or ice or water. And we may find that that becomes a contributing cause to the accident. How much grip do air
Bolden discusses his career at life at thehis military, and decisions to attend United States Naval Academy. Charles olden, if you had your choice, would you rather be shuttle, or in the run the National Administration . I am running since the nasa right now, i would rather be doing what im doing. I am a person, i live in the moment. Know, i tellow me them, i do not regret anything, no matter how bad. What is done is done. I would not change anything because i have three beautiful granddaughters who are 6, 10, and 13. I am fearful if i went back and changed any minor thing, that might not happen. 135 missions with the Space Shuttle. 200 billion. 30 years. Was it worth it . Every dime. Think start with what i the shuttle did for the nation over its incredible 30 years that most people will never think about unless somebody tells them. Which inical world in live is very nondiverse. There are not a lot of people who look like me. In fact, in the history of this Space Shuttle program, ther
