Transcript excerpt

These 10 men and women are your twenty fourth astronaut candidate class. Congratulations to our new class of astronauts. There's nothing that, embodies the American dream more than the 10 of you today. You represent America, the greatest, most innovative, creative country that's ever existed on the face of the Earth. We're gonna need America's best and brightest because we have bold exploration plans for the future. It's gonna take grit. It's gonna take courage to actually meet this moment with these missions, with this vision. I couldn't be more honored to be, the acting administrator, and to lead this organization, at this moment in time. We are going back to the moon. This tier, we're gonna stay. And from what we learn on our mission to the moon, we're gonna go to Mars. Over 8,000 people applied to get one of these 10 spots. One of these 10 could actually be one of the first Americans to put their boots on the Mars surface.
