Transcript

ZERO GRAVITY follows a diverse group of middle school students from San Jose, CA, who compete in a nationwide tournament to code satellites aboard the International Space Station. Their mission: compete with teams across the country to write the most strategic code for surveying satellites, known as SPHERES. These satellites will help map out a GPS system to successfully orbit Mars in the future, opening the door to infinite opportunities and exploration on the Red Planet. Each coder-in-the-making brings their own strengths, unique perspectives, and boundless curiosity to their team, together embarking on an out-of-this-world STEM quest that celebrates space, teamwork, and the triumph of the human spirit. Featuring astronauts Steve Smith, Cady Coleman, and International Space Station resident Jack Fischer, who performs the students’ incredible achievements in orbit 250 miles above the Earth‘s surface, this inspiring documentary highlights the importance of empowering the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators who will fearlessly lead us into the future and the unknown.

♪♪

00:00:25.817 --> 00:00:28.445
(indistinct man
speaking over radio)

00:00:45.045 --> 00:00:47.213
...uh, that's
the appropriate direction,

00:00:47.297 --> 00:00:49.632
45 degrees from zenith,
towards the port.

00:00:49.674 --> 00:00:51.676
(transmissions continue)

00:01:01.311 --> 00:01:03.813
...20 seconds
to handover...

00:01:08.443 --> 00:01:09.736
Oh, my God.
This is beautiful.

00:01:09.819 --> 00:01:11.237
Isn't it?

00:01:19.829 --> 00:01:22.373
Male reporter:
...the future, with growth
and coding jobs

00:01:22.457 --> 00:01:26.377
forecast to be double that
of job growth overall.

00:01:26.419 --> 00:01:29.380
The programming pool
will simply have to grow

00:01:29.464 --> 00:01:31.341
to keep up with demand.

00:01:31.382 --> 00:01:33.093
-Is it less than 20? No.
-Yeah.

00:01:33.134 --> 00:01:34.844
Is it equal to 40? Yeah.
Do this.

00:01:34.886 --> 00:01:37.555
-Then it's gonna be 41.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:01:37.639 --> 00:01:39.224
-It's less than 20. Now.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:01:39.265 --> 00:01:41.101
Is it equal to 40? Now.
All right, keep...

00:01:41.184 --> 00:01:42.936
Right, right, right,
right, right.

00:01:43.019 --> 00:01:44.896
The last thing...

00:01:45.939 --> 00:01:47.232
My name's Tanner Marcoida.

00:01:47.315 --> 00:01:49.484
I'm from east side,
San Jose,

00:01:49.567 --> 00:01:51.569
and I work for
Campbell Middle School.

00:01:51.611 --> 00:01:55.406
The language of this area
has a lot to with
being able to code.

00:01:55.448 --> 00:01:57.283
It's important to know
a little bit about coding

00:01:57.367 --> 00:01:58.785
just to have a job.

00:01:58.868 --> 00:02:01.121
So it's become
very important to me

00:02:01.162 --> 00:02:03.873
to help students grasp that.

00:02:03.915 --> 00:02:05.250
This is my first opportunity

00:02:05.291 --> 00:02:07.293
to take a crack
at Zero Robotics,

00:02:07.377 --> 00:02:10.588
but this is very hands-on.

00:02:10.672 --> 00:02:13.341
I have this time with this
choice and this mind

00:02:13.424 --> 00:02:15.426
to make a difference.

00:02:15.510 --> 00:02:17.929
Woman:
This is a robotics competition

00:02:18.012 --> 00:02:22.517
in which students program
autonomous little satellites

00:02:22.600 --> 00:02:25.603
inside the International
Space Station.

00:02:25.645 --> 00:02:27.313
With the middle school
competition,

00:02:27.397 --> 00:02:31.734
we're trying to engage
the marginalized,
disengaged youth

00:02:31.776 --> 00:02:35.405
so that what happens
is eventually we'll see
a diversification

00:02:35.446 --> 00:02:36.948
of that pipeline.

00:02:37.031 --> 00:02:39.784
This is what your kids
will be programming.

00:02:39.868 --> 00:02:42.579
The robot is the sphere.

00:02:42.620 --> 00:02:45.957
Woman: Look at the port
getting set up for
the spheres experiment

00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:49.460
that's about to take place
on the space station...

00:02:49.544 --> 00:02:51.004
Man:
...they are little robots.

00:02:51.087 --> 00:02:52.422
They are little satellites.

00:02:52.463 --> 00:02:54.215
They fly inside
the space station.

00:02:54.299 --> 00:02:55.884
Woman:
As part of a competition,

00:02:55.967 --> 00:02:57.802
students write algorithms
for the spheres satellites

00:02:57.844 --> 00:03:00.763
to accomplish tasks relevant
to future space missions.

00:03:00.805 --> 00:03:03.474
There will be a code
on station from California.

00:03:03.558 --> 00:03:06.978
Which of your team's code
will it be?

00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:08.521
Who knows.

00:03:08.605 --> 00:03:12.483
And then, will your state
take the full title?

00:03:12.567 --> 00:03:17.197
Your mission is to build
surveying satellites

00:03:17.197 --> 00:03:19.991
to orbit Mars.

00:03:20.074 --> 00:03:22.660
That is the space race
right now.

00:03:24.495 --> 00:03:26.080
One of the things that
your satellite has to do

00:03:26.206 --> 00:03:30.376
is deploy three--
what we call satellite
position system devices,

00:03:30.460 --> 00:03:34.297
or SPS devices to find
your assembly zone.

00:03:34.339 --> 00:03:36.007
Now that you've dropped
your SPSes,

00:03:36.049 --> 00:03:38.718
there are some satellite parts
that have been pre-deployed.

00:03:38.801 --> 00:03:40.637
You can see there's
three types of items

00:03:40.678 --> 00:03:42.680
worth different
amount of points.

00:03:42.764 --> 00:03:44.933
So part of your strategy
is gonna be deciding

00:03:45.016 --> 00:03:47.518
which items to take
to your assembly zone.

00:03:47.602 --> 00:03:50.730
And the other thing is,
once your item's in
your assembly zone,

00:03:50.813 --> 00:03:52.148
it can be stolen.

00:03:52.232 --> 00:03:54.859
Another team can take an item
out of your assembly zone.

00:03:54.901 --> 00:03:58.029
So another thing
to keep in mind...

00:03:58.112 --> 00:04:00.365
Katie: It's kind of
thinking of the strategy,

00:04:00.406 --> 00:04:03.952
all the possible, you know--
hope for the best,
prepare for the worst

00:04:04.035 --> 00:04:05.536
-Right.
-Right?

00:04:05.578 --> 00:04:07.038
-No pressure.
-Yeah, right?

00:04:07.121 --> 00:04:08.873
(laughs)
Okay.

00:04:08.957 --> 00:04:10.541
In a couple months.

00:04:10.583 --> 00:04:13.544
The world is increasingly
running on code.

00:04:13.628 --> 00:04:16.047
And this is a skill
that our kids need to learn.

00:04:16.130 --> 00:04:18.800
It's also a skill
that's not taught in school.

00:04:18.883 --> 00:04:21.552
Yet it is something
that is the future.

00:04:21.636 --> 00:04:23.972
So we really capitalize
on the time

00:04:24.055 --> 00:04:28.309
during the summer
for them to develop this skill.

00:04:35.149 --> 00:04:37.485
Tanner: Coding can be
pretty unforgiving.

00:04:37.568 --> 00:04:38.903
If you don't put
in the right code,

00:04:38.987 --> 00:04:40.071
it doesn't work,

00:04:40.113 --> 00:04:42.282
and I think that them
being able to see

00:04:42.323 --> 00:04:45.910
inspirational stories
about space and why we explore

00:04:45.952 --> 00:04:49.622
gives them an opportunity
to be inspired in those moments

00:04:49.706 --> 00:04:52.542
where coding
can get really tricky.

00:04:54.752 --> 00:04:57.797
My name is Makayla,
I am 11 years old,

00:04:57.880 --> 00:05:01.509
and I'm thinking of being
a marine biologist.

00:05:02.552 --> 00:05:04.178
Tanner was just
talking about it.

00:05:04.304 --> 00:05:08.349
He was explaining that it was
gonna be about coding.

00:05:08.433 --> 00:05:09.851
I've never done this before,

00:05:09.934 --> 00:05:12.979
and, uh,
it just got in my head,

00:05:13.062 --> 00:05:14.814
and I wanted to do it.

00:05:14.897 --> 00:05:19.777
I-- I think this is a good
learning experience too.

00:05:19.861 --> 00:05:22.530
We're going to be able
to simulate

00:05:22.613 --> 00:05:24.198
what our sphere
is going to do.

00:05:24.324 --> 00:05:26.951
And it's gonna show you
what it would do in actual...

00:05:27.035 --> 00:05:31.164
My name is Advik,
and I'm ten years old.

00:05:31.247 --> 00:05:33.041
And, uh, when I grow up,

00:05:33.124 --> 00:05:36.127
I don't really know
what I wanna do yet.

00:05:36.169 --> 00:05:39.756
I just think it's cool that you
can make something from Earth

00:05:39.797 --> 00:05:43.676
go out and visit
other places.

00:05:43.760 --> 00:05:45.345
Tanner:
This is the beginnings

00:05:45.428 --> 00:05:48.473
of what you guys are gonna be
programming the sphere to do.

00:05:48.556 --> 00:05:49.974
You're gonna have to write
a lot of code,

00:05:50.016 --> 00:05:52.393
and it's gonna take
every single one of you

00:05:52.477 --> 00:05:55.480
to make sure that our code is
one of the best in the nation.

00:05:55.563 --> 00:05:58.066
My name is Carol.
I'm 11 years old.

00:05:58.149 --> 00:06:01.444
When I grow up, I wanna
be a robotic engineer.

00:06:01.486 --> 00:06:02.862
What is the export here?

00:06:02.945 --> 00:06:04.072
Negative 1.

00:06:04.155 --> 00:06:05.365
Negative 1.

00:06:05.365 --> 00:06:08.493
And Y coordinate is negative 2.

00:06:08.576 --> 00:06:11.412
I've always been
fascinated about robots

00:06:11.496 --> 00:06:13.373
and a lot of technology.

00:06:13.456 --> 00:06:15.625
But I just wanna
help build stuff

00:06:15.666 --> 00:06:17.877
that could be useful
for people.

00:06:17.960 --> 00:06:20.213
Girl: We need to adapt this
a little bit more,

00:06:20.296 --> 00:06:21.839
'cause I feel like it's not...

00:06:21.923 --> 00:06:24.509
Carol: It makes me really happy
that I get to help.

00:06:25.968 --> 00:06:28.179
People have helped me
along the way,

00:06:28.262 --> 00:06:31.224
and I wanna help them too.

00:06:32.225 --> 00:06:36.396
This mat, this is the size
of our game grid.

00:06:36.437 --> 00:06:38.272
Carol: I like that I get to
help other people

00:06:38.398 --> 00:06:40.400
who don't understand math.

00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:43.277
Because I get to see what
other people are doing
and their ideas,

00:06:43.403 --> 00:06:46.989
and that they might have a
possibility of going into space.

00:06:48.408 --> 00:06:50.284
Tanner:
The fact that they're playing
a part in something

00:06:50.410 --> 00:06:53.955
that's much bigger
than just them or our school,

00:06:54.038 --> 00:06:57.208
or our country, I mean--
We're talking space,

00:06:57.291 --> 00:07:03.339
so... real excited to, you know,
to do that with them.

00:07:03.423 --> 00:07:05.800
(speaking Spanish)

00:09:14.554 --> 00:09:17.139
Man: Welcome to chess,
Earth versus space.

00:09:17.181 --> 00:09:20.226
Chess is a great game
for stimulating young minds,

00:09:20.309 --> 00:09:21.936
for analytical thinking,

00:09:22.019 --> 00:09:23.604
which is so important
in all aspects of life,

00:09:23.688 --> 00:09:26.482
but especially math, science,
and engineering.

00:09:26.566 --> 00:09:28.859
All the things that make
the space station possible,

00:09:28.943 --> 00:09:31.696
and our way of life possible.

00:09:32.780 --> 00:09:34.031
It's my move now.

00:09:34.073 --> 00:09:35.658
I've got this
Velcro chess board here

00:09:35.700 --> 00:09:38.035
that keeps the pieces
from flying away.

00:09:38.119 --> 00:09:40.496
It's your move.
Good luck.

00:09:40.580 --> 00:09:43.874
Man: ...to form teams
to find creative engineering
solutions...

00:09:43.958 --> 00:09:45.334
Man: ...robotics teams
have been working

00:09:45.376 --> 00:09:46.877
in a worldwide challenge.

00:09:46.961 --> 00:09:49.964
Using coding skills
to see who can do it best.

00:09:50.047 --> 00:09:52.592
Randy, permission to dock.
Go ahead.

00:09:52.592 --> 00:09:54.218
You're gonna be first to act.

00:09:54.260 --> 00:09:57.096
Woman: ...to operate the sphere
satellites on board...

00:09:57.179 --> 00:09:59.265
Tanner: Three spaces right.
One, two, three.

00:09:59.348 --> 00:10:00.600
So you guys have 1.2.

00:10:00.683 --> 00:10:03.144
Man:
And then the finals takes place
on the space station

00:10:03.227 --> 00:10:06.188
by the crew themselves
in real time.

00:10:06.230 --> 00:10:07.815
Mission Control:
This is mission control Houston.

00:10:07.898 --> 00:10:11.068
Working, uh, in warp speed
practically.

00:10:11.110 --> 00:10:14.322
The major objective of this
spacewalk now complete.

00:10:14.405 --> 00:10:17.742
A smiling Jack Fischer
in the airlock.

00:10:17.783 --> 00:10:21.078
With his first spacewalk
in the books...

00:10:21.162 --> 00:10:23.331
Woman: We are ready to begin
when you are.

00:10:23.414 --> 00:10:25.666
Massachusetts Institute
of Technology,

00:10:25.750 --> 00:10:27.835
this is Mission
Control Houston.

00:10:27.918 --> 00:10:29.253
Uh, I'm Mike Collins.

00:10:29.337 --> 00:10:31.881
Uh, Jack, I wish
I was up there with you. Uh...

00:10:31.922 --> 00:10:34.091
Is that the Mike Collins?

00:10:34.175 --> 00:10:36.469
-No, no. It--
-(laughter)

00:10:36.552 --> 00:10:38.929
Sir, it's a--
What an honor.

00:10:39.013 --> 00:10:43.267
Man: ...Armstrong, Collins,
and Aldrin...

00:10:43.309 --> 00:10:45.645
Man: We have a liftoff,
on Apollo 11.

00:10:45.645 --> 00:10:52.652
Jack: You know, I think that
inspiration is hard to quantify,

00:10:52.652 --> 00:10:55.529
but has such a huge impact,

00:10:55.655 --> 00:10:58.449
so that's what you did, sir,

00:10:58.532 --> 00:11:01.786
and that's what we hope
we can continue to do

00:11:01.827 --> 00:11:04.038
uh, to get the next
generation going

00:11:04.121 --> 00:11:08.501
and to really get this
whole space exploration thing

00:11:08.584 --> 00:11:10.378
moving for good.

00:11:10.461 --> 00:11:12.672
You certainly are doing it,
Jack, uh, big time,

00:11:12.755 --> 00:11:14.215
and a lot better
than we ever did.

00:11:14.298 --> 00:11:16.342
Thank you for your work
up there.

00:11:16.425 --> 00:11:18.427
(applause)

00:11:28.437 --> 00:11:30.398
Female Reporter:
San Jose tonight now on track

00:11:30.481 --> 00:11:32.775
to becoming the hottest
housing market

00:11:32.817 --> 00:11:35.945
in the entire
country this year.

00:11:35.986 --> 00:11:37.697
Prices are...

00:11:37.697 --> 00:11:39.573
...most recently with Apple
and Google, to move here.

00:11:39.699 --> 00:11:42.993
Shocked by how much homes
are selling...

00:11:45.162 --> 00:11:48.040
Tanner: That's where this whole
new Diridon district

00:11:48.124 --> 00:11:50.292
is gonna be developed.

00:11:50.334 --> 00:11:52.962
So that's the water building
right there.

00:11:53.003 --> 00:11:55.923
Yeah.
(scoffs) Bam.

00:11:56.006 --> 00:11:59.343
These condos are gonna go up
to house the people

00:11:59.385 --> 00:12:02.054
that are gonna be getting jobs
in this area.

00:12:02.138 --> 00:12:05.307
Hopefully those are the--
the housing that they go for,

00:12:05.349 --> 00:12:09.186
and not the housing that kind of
belongs to the people

00:12:09.228 --> 00:12:12.106
that have been living
in this area for a long time.

00:12:12.189 --> 00:12:14.817
They don't know what kind
of change that's gonna come,

00:12:14.859 --> 00:12:17.778
but the change is already,
you know--

00:12:17.862 --> 00:12:20.156
It's gonna happen.
It's inevitable.

00:12:21.574 --> 00:12:23.743
I feel it. It's an everyday
thing for me, you know?

00:12:23.826 --> 00:12:25.536
Like, it's all connected.

00:12:27.288 --> 00:12:30.791
Excuse me, boss.
Might throw it up there.

00:12:30.875 --> 00:12:33.169
I think the name
of the game right now

00:12:33.210 --> 00:12:37.590
is survival,
for a lot of us.

00:12:37.673 --> 00:12:39.550
Everybody is struggling.

00:12:39.592 --> 00:12:41.552
You know, there's been plenty of
times in my life

00:12:41.594 --> 00:12:44.972
where I've, like, balled myself
up into the fetal position

00:12:45.055 --> 00:12:46.432
and, you know, like...

00:12:46.515 --> 00:12:48.809
but then you gotta snap yourself
out of it at some point,

00:12:48.893 --> 00:12:50.895
and if I can
teach these kids

00:12:50.978 --> 00:12:54.231
that, "Hey, you're gonna
have to snap yourself
out of this a lot,

00:12:54.273 --> 00:12:57.485
so you better get practicing now
with this robotics program,

00:12:57.568 --> 00:13:00.321
yeah, then there is
a life lesson in there.

00:13:00.404 --> 00:13:03.199
It's all a part
of making them able

00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:05.868
to survive in this area
and stay if they want to.

00:13:05.910 --> 00:13:11.916
So... getting these kids
to find their fast track,

00:13:11.999 --> 00:13:14.960
or just get to get on track,
actually,

00:13:15.044 --> 00:13:18.964
so that they can see what
possibilities they can have,

00:13:19.048 --> 00:13:21.133
is really important.

00:13:27.681 --> 00:13:30.100
Boy: Excited about
playing the game,

00:13:30.184 --> 00:13:32.144
because we learn
a lot of stuff from it.

00:13:32.228 --> 00:13:33.562
Ways to destroy
our enemies.

00:13:33.604 --> 00:13:35.022
Yeah.
(laughter)

00:13:35.105 --> 00:13:37.441
If we don't do that,
then we'll probably learn a lot,

00:13:37.525 --> 00:13:39.568
so we can destroy them
in the future.

00:13:39.610 --> 00:13:41.237
-Yeah.
-Yeah.

00:13:41.278 --> 00:13:44.824
Get together
and destroy your enemy--

00:13:44.824 --> 00:13:46.116
You know Tanner's motto.

00:13:46.158 --> 00:13:48.035
Our enemies is ourselves.

00:13:48.118 --> 00:13:51.121
Why are we competing
with ourselves instead
of the other teams?

00:13:51.205 --> 00:13:55.125
We can be stronger together
and be a stronger link.

00:13:57.044 --> 00:13:59.713
Frank Sinatra:
♪ Fly me to the moon ♪

00:13:59.839 --> 00:14:02.299
♪ Let me play
among the stars ♪

00:14:02.341 --> 00:14:03.759
Tanner:
What's SPS stand for?

00:14:03.843 --> 00:14:05.469
Girl: Uh, satellite
positioning system.

00:14:05.553 --> 00:14:07.346
Do we know where the assembly
zone is ahead of time?

00:14:07.429 --> 00:14:08.764
All: No.

00:14:08.848 --> 00:14:10.933
We have to know where it is
by setting out the SPS site.

00:14:10.975 --> 00:14:12.393
Yeah.

00:14:12.476 --> 00:14:14.228
And then-- And then
the space parts.

00:14:14.311 --> 00:14:17.773
There's a, uh, large,
medium, and small...

00:14:17.857 --> 00:14:22.486
I start, I determine where
I want to put my three SPSes.

00:14:22.570 --> 00:14:24.154
Drop SPS.

00:14:24.196 --> 00:14:27.157
From here, I will reveal
assembly zone.

00:14:27.199 --> 00:14:29.869
Now that my assembly zone
as been revealed,

00:14:29.910 --> 00:14:34.039
I now need to pick up
satellite pieces and bring them

00:14:34.123 --> 00:14:36.876
to my assembly zone
to be assembled.

00:14:36.876 --> 00:14:38.586
Move one space forward,

00:14:38.669 --> 00:14:40.254
rotate 90 degrees right,

00:14:40.337 --> 00:14:43.424
dot small,
and move two spaces back.

00:14:43.507 --> 00:14:45.801
So it's all based on
this strategy.

00:14:45.885 --> 00:14:48.053
What's the value
of each action?

00:14:48.137 --> 00:14:49.430
This game is over.

00:14:49.513 --> 00:14:53.517
The red sphere with 2.75,
and the blue sphere

00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:56.437
with 2.45.

00:14:56.520 --> 00:14:57.688
(cheering)

00:14:57.730 --> 00:15:00.524
Good job to both.
The red team won this game.

00:15:00.608 --> 00:15:03.068
-Good job. Good job.
-Good job. Good job.

00:15:03.152 --> 00:15:05.321
Good job. Good job.

00:15:05.362 --> 00:15:07.448
They were learning,
we were learning,

00:15:07.531 --> 00:15:10.034
and I-- I want you guys
to try to figure out a strategy

00:15:10.075 --> 00:15:11.493
that's gonna give us
the upper hand.

00:15:11.535 --> 00:15:14.622
We haven't came up
with a good strategy for...

00:15:14.705 --> 00:15:16.999
We can't play
with this strategy.

00:15:17.041 --> 00:15:18.292
We have to figure out something

00:15:18.375 --> 00:15:19.835
that's gonna give us
an advantage.

00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:21.629
Okay?

00:15:21.712 --> 00:15:23.380
Three, two, one.

00:15:23.422 --> 00:15:25.382
We're the ones
with pretty faces.

00:15:25.466 --> 00:15:27.301
We're gonna win
the space race.

00:15:27.384 --> 00:15:29.678
-We're gonna win this--
-Space race, okay?

00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:31.972
(laughter)

00:15:32.723 --> 00:15:35.476
(speaking Spanish)

00:15:53.410 --> 00:15:55.245
One of the things
I hope you learn today

00:15:55.329 --> 00:15:57.581
is that you can go
from this room

00:15:57.665 --> 00:16:00.167
and from your school
and from your house

00:16:00.250 --> 00:16:01.585
to anywhere in the world.

00:16:01.669 --> 00:16:04.588
You wanna keep going towards
your dream, okay?

00:16:10.844 --> 00:16:12.888
This is an actual
picture I drew

00:16:12.972 --> 00:16:14.390
50 years ago.

00:16:14.431 --> 00:16:15.975
It's a picture
of a rocket ship,

00:16:16.058 --> 00:16:17.977
and across the top
it says "Steve."

00:16:17.977 --> 00:16:20.312
And so my dream
very early on

00:16:20.396 --> 00:16:22.272
was to go into space.

00:16:41.417 --> 00:16:46.171
In two weeks, we're gonna have
the regional competition
of Zero Robotics.

00:16:46.255 --> 00:16:50.009
The best code
will then represent

00:16:50.009 --> 00:16:52.011
the state of California,

00:16:52.052 --> 00:16:53.345
and that is the code

00:16:53.429 --> 00:16:55.180
that I will send
to the space station

00:16:55.264 --> 00:16:58.350
that will compete against
all of the other states
in the country,

00:16:58.434 --> 00:17:01.270
as well as Russia.

00:17:01.311 --> 00:17:03.689
Man: Rendezvous with
the Hubble Telescope.

00:17:03.772 --> 00:17:04.940
And you'll see--

00:17:05.024 --> 00:17:08.110
checking out the suits
before going...

00:17:08.152 --> 00:17:14.033
How many of you, if you could
get a free ride into space,

00:17:14.033 --> 00:17:15.325
would take it?

00:17:15.409 --> 00:17:17.536
How many would take it?
Okay. Most of you.

00:17:17.619 --> 00:17:21.540
Good. So if you were selected
to be on the space station,

00:17:21.623 --> 00:17:25.753
my observation is that
the early years

00:17:25.836 --> 00:17:28.380
and the middle years
of a young person's life

00:17:28.464 --> 00:17:30.507
are the crucial years
for them to get

00:17:30.591 --> 00:17:33.218
exposure to different
opportunities,

00:17:33.302 --> 00:17:35.596
and to find out where
their passion is.

00:17:35.679 --> 00:17:40.517
We want people to join our
nation's technology effort.

00:17:40.601 --> 00:17:44.480
Our space program needs
strong engineers and scientists.

00:17:44.521 --> 00:17:47.483
But at the end, the work
that technology people do,

00:17:47.524 --> 00:17:49.193
the work that people do
at NASA

00:17:49.234 --> 00:17:51.153
is making
people's lives better.

00:17:51.195 --> 00:17:52.654
By gathering information

00:17:52.696 --> 00:17:55.699
to solve problems we have,
for example,

00:17:55.741 --> 00:17:58.368
or to help us
make our lives more simple

00:17:58.452 --> 00:17:59.912
or more productive.

00:17:59.995 --> 00:18:01.705
What spaceships did you fly?

00:18:01.747 --> 00:18:05.375
Discovery, Endeavor,
and Atlantis.

00:18:05.459 --> 00:18:08.712
So I asked the astronaut

00:18:08.754 --> 00:18:12.216
how many, um, how many
astronauts do you think

00:18:12.257 --> 00:18:14.510
are in--
live in San Jose,

00:18:14.551 --> 00:18:17.471
and he said about three to four.

00:18:17.554 --> 00:18:19.515
How many times did, uh,
Steve get turned down?

00:18:19.556 --> 00:18:21.642
-Four!
-Four times.

00:18:21.725 --> 00:18:23.894
But did that--
But did that stop him?

00:18:23.936 --> 00:18:25.562
-No.
-So...

00:18:25.604 --> 00:18:28.315
So how however many times
you guys fall,

00:18:28.398 --> 00:18:29.608
you better get up
one more time, right?

00:18:29.691 --> 00:18:31.527
Boy:
You better get up.

00:18:31.568 --> 00:18:35.322
Steve:
Life in zero gravity,
it's very magical.

00:18:35.405 --> 00:18:37.741
You're in this environment,
of course,

00:18:37.783 --> 00:18:40.285
where things
don't weigh anything.

00:18:40.369 --> 00:18:42.121
You can sleep on the wall.

00:18:42.162 --> 00:18:45.415
You can move
massive objects.

00:18:45.457 --> 00:18:47.417
When you look out the window

00:18:47.459 --> 00:18:49.962
and you see
this beautiful Earth,

00:18:50.045 --> 00:18:56.009
this place where we live,
the planet,

00:18:56.135 --> 00:18:59.930
to look at how fragile
it looks in space,

00:18:59.972 --> 00:19:02.266
we are one global community.

00:19:02.349 --> 00:19:04.601
You don't see any borders.

00:19:04.685 --> 00:19:08.272
This is a very magical--
magical place.

00:19:17.781 --> 00:19:20.742
Let's go over there, Makayla.
That way.

00:19:20.784 --> 00:19:22.911
Check it out.

00:19:24.580 --> 00:19:27.958
Makayla: My goal is to become
a marine biologist one day.

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:31.879
I love the ocean.
You know?

00:19:31.962 --> 00:19:33.672
It's sort of like space

00:19:33.755 --> 00:19:37.968
because we haven't learned
all about space

00:19:38.051 --> 00:19:40.721
and under-- underwater.

00:19:40.804 --> 00:19:43.974
Like, the very bottom
of the ocean.

00:19:45.225 --> 00:19:49.229
You can discover stuff that
people haven't discovered yet.

00:19:49.313 --> 00:19:51.064
-Look at him.
-Got one.

00:19:51.190 --> 00:19:53.400
(laughter)

00:19:53.483 --> 00:19:55.861
Try again. Try again.

00:19:55.944 --> 00:19:59.406
What I've learned about
for this program,

00:19:59.489 --> 00:20:01.825
it's just brought me
to think,

00:20:01.909 --> 00:20:04.828
"Why not
just try to do both?"

00:20:04.912 --> 00:20:06.622
Because it's, like, um,

00:20:06.663 --> 00:20:09.833
because the--
the water's just, like,

00:20:09.917 --> 00:20:12.502
the zero gravity.

00:20:14.421 --> 00:20:16.798
Close as you can get.

00:20:18.425 --> 00:20:22.095
Terry:
I wasn't surprised that
she jumped on this program.

00:20:22.221 --> 00:20:23.513
She was excited.

00:20:23.597 --> 00:20:25.015
I mean, she just--

00:20:25.057 --> 00:20:27.351
first she was probably
a little shy about it.

00:20:27.434 --> 00:20:28.977
But then once
she gets into it,

00:20:29.019 --> 00:20:31.980
um, you know,
she kind of blossomed,

00:20:32.022 --> 00:20:34.608
so I-- I think
that's kinda what happened.

00:20:34.691 --> 00:20:37.027
Yes.

00:20:37.069 --> 00:20:39.696
I loved the trip
to NASA.

00:20:39.780 --> 00:20:41.531
We went to this
plane simulation.

00:20:41.615 --> 00:20:44.243
It looked like you--
you felt like you were
actually flying it?

00:20:44.284 --> 00:20:45.661
-Yes.
-Are you kidding?

00:20:45.702 --> 00:20:47.579
I didn't know--
You didn't tell me about that.

00:20:47.663 --> 00:20:49.414
Makayla:
They allowed me to actually
sit in the chair, and--

00:20:49.498 --> 00:20:50.749
Terry:
Oh, really?

00:20:50.832 --> 00:20:52.000
(laughs)

00:20:52.042 --> 00:20:56.255
Terry: Wow. It's too bad
you never met my dad.

00:20:56.296 --> 00:20:57.714
Because my dad was a pilot.

00:20:57.798 --> 00:20:59.716
He would have loved
to have taught you how to fly.

00:21:01.969 --> 00:21:04.054
When I came to live
with my grandparents,

00:21:04.096 --> 00:21:08.392
um, it was-- at first,
it was just me and Lily.

00:21:08.475 --> 00:21:13.313
Because I-- (sighs)
It was...

00:21:13.397 --> 00:21:15.691
It was actually easy.

00:21:15.732 --> 00:21:19.611
Because I had--
I had one sister with me

00:21:19.695 --> 00:21:23.532
and she was going through
the same thing as me

00:21:23.573 --> 00:21:25.659
at that moment
in time.

00:21:25.742 --> 00:21:28.036
I just wanted
to think about her.

00:21:28.078 --> 00:21:31.415
So... yeah.

00:21:33.292 --> 00:21:36.545
♪ Little do you know
how I'm breaking ♪

00:21:36.586 --> 00:21:39.673
♪ While you fall asleep ♪

00:21:39.756 --> 00:21:43.093

00:21:49.683 --> 00:21:53.103
Terry: Makayla and Lily
have been here, um, it'll be--

00:21:53.145 --> 00:21:54.604
been here five years.

00:21:54.646 --> 00:21:56.898
♪ Need a little more time ♪

00:21:56.940 --> 00:22:02.195
And then Adriana will be here
two years this Christmas.

00:22:02.321 --> 00:22:04.573
Makayla:
That's my dad.

00:22:04.614 --> 00:22:07.326
And that's me.
Tiny me.

00:22:07.326 --> 00:22:10.329
Terry: There were some
unfortunate circumstances

00:22:10.412 --> 00:22:11.997
that caused it to happen.

00:22:12.080 --> 00:22:14.791
But it was necessary for them
to come live with us.

00:22:14.833 --> 00:22:16.626
There were some changes,
obviously,

00:22:16.710 --> 00:22:18.754
because, you know,
I'm a lot older,

00:22:18.795 --> 00:22:21.757
my kids are grown up,
and now I'm basically
having children again.

00:22:21.798 --> 00:22:26.261
But I can't imagine
my life without her.

00:22:26.345 --> 00:22:27.763
Without any of 'em.

00:22:32.142 --> 00:22:35.354
Woman:
And so, speaking of space,
what have you got over here?

00:22:35.354 --> 00:22:38.690
Man:
Okay, so this bad boy
is called Spheres.

00:22:38.774 --> 00:22:41.985
The story behind Spheres
was, uh, a professor at MIT

00:22:42.069 --> 00:22:44.654
had one of his senior projects,
uh, and he showed the clip

00:22:44.738 --> 00:22:47.783
"A New Hope,"
of Luke practicing

00:22:47.824 --> 00:22:49.743
with the little droid
floating around.

00:22:49.826 --> 00:22:51.536
And he said, "I want you
to make me one of those."

00:22:51.620 --> 00:22:53.997
And that's--
that's what they did.

00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:56.249
(groans)
(laughs)

00:22:56.375 --> 00:22:59.127
Man:
You already have these things
in the space station.

00:22:59.169 --> 00:23:00.670
Here's a sphere.

00:23:00.754 --> 00:23:02.005
Man: So all you have to do
is just reprogram it

00:23:02.047 --> 00:23:03.840
to do whatever you--
you want.

00:23:03.882 --> 00:23:05.967
These things are able
to validate and verify

00:23:06.009 --> 00:23:08.387
a lot of algorithms and ideas

00:23:08.470 --> 00:23:10.806
and new sensors
that they can maybe implement

00:23:10.847 --> 00:23:13.058
on larger spacecraft.

00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:17.229
Your object
is to get your sphere,

00:23:17.312 --> 00:23:19.022
your droid,

00:23:19.064 --> 00:23:20.774
to go and dock
with the emoji

00:23:20.857 --> 00:23:23.944
and bring it back here
to this assembly zone.

00:23:24.027 --> 00:23:26.822
You have 30 seconds
to do that.

00:23:26.863 --> 00:23:28.156
One, go!

00:23:29.116 --> 00:23:31.743
(children shouting)

00:23:31.827 --> 00:23:34.413
Tanner:
Are they docked?
Oh, yeah.

00:23:34.496 --> 00:23:36.206
(children shouting)

00:23:36.289 --> 00:23:39.042
Boy:
13, 12, 11,

00:23:39.084 --> 00:23:40.502
10, 9, 8, 7, 6...

00:23:40.544 --> 00:23:41.753
Tanner:
Oh, your code is flawed.

00:23:41.837 --> 00:23:43.130
Oh, I'll take it.
All right.

00:23:43.213 --> 00:23:44.589
Good job. Clap it up.
Clap it up.

00:23:44.673 --> 00:23:47.050
That was good.
That was good. All right.

00:23:50.262 --> 00:23:54.141
Carol:
My parents just want us to do
things that we actually like

00:23:54.224 --> 00:23:56.518
and not doing jobs
that we don't.

00:23:56.560 --> 00:23:58.895
We don't do that much
coding at school.

00:23:58.937 --> 00:24:02.065
So they told me to do it 'cause
I could learn something new.

00:24:02.149 --> 00:24:03.859
Tanner:
How many docking sides
does our sphere have?

00:24:03.900 --> 00:24:05.235
-Children: One.
-Tanner: One.

00:24:05.277 --> 00:24:06.862
Carol: I'm interested
in the spheres

00:24:06.903 --> 00:24:09.114
and being able to control them.

00:24:09.197 --> 00:24:10.532
In this class,

00:24:10.574 --> 00:24:12.284
we all have different things
that we're good at.

00:24:12.367 --> 00:24:15.745
And we have to work together
to code the sphere to win.

00:24:15.787 --> 00:24:17.164
For California.

00:24:17.247 --> 00:24:19.749
Tanner:
What did I ask you to do
after you docked?

00:24:19.791 --> 00:24:21.084
Go back
to the assembly zone.

00:24:21.168 --> 00:24:22.794
Okay, so that's
what you guys are doing.

00:24:22.878 --> 00:24:24.337
So each one of your...

00:24:24.463 --> 00:24:26.631
Basically the whole point
why NASA did this

00:24:26.715 --> 00:24:30.177
is because they wanted
to have code

00:24:30.260 --> 00:24:34.347
that satellites
can go around Mars,

00:24:34.473 --> 00:24:37.184
and it helps them position
the satellites

00:24:37.267 --> 00:24:39.186
so that they don't
run into each other.

00:24:39.269 --> 00:24:41.730
But, like, be, uh,
synchronized.

00:24:41.771 --> 00:24:44.483
That's in the name, uh,
SPHERE.

00:24:44.483 --> 00:24:46.610
Synchronized Position
Hold Engage

00:24:46.651 --> 00:24:51.406
Reorient, um,
Experimental Satellites.

00:24:51.490 --> 00:24:52.866
When you guys
program your code,

00:24:52.949 --> 00:24:54.784
we import the code
into the spheres

00:24:54.868 --> 00:24:56.036
inside the space station.

00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:57.746
Makayla:
So we code the sphere

00:24:57.787 --> 00:25:01.750
to drop the satellite
positioning systems,

00:25:01.791 --> 00:25:05.337
the SPSes, which help us
find our assembly zone.

00:25:05.420 --> 00:25:08.632
Tanner:
For that GPS system
that you guys created,

00:25:08.673 --> 00:25:10.967
you're getting
.855 points automatically

00:25:11.009 --> 00:25:13.178
for dropping the SPSes
in that triangle.

00:25:13.261 --> 00:25:14.930
Makayla:
And once we find that,

00:25:14.971 --> 00:25:16.806
we go for the large item,

00:25:16.848 --> 00:25:19.684
and then maybe the medium,

00:25:19.768 --> 00:25:21.520
and then the small.

00:25:21.603 --> 00:25:24.439
Tanner:
So not only do we have to be
in the right spot to dock,

00:25:24.523 --> 00:25:26.608
the attitude of our sphere

00:25:26.650 --> 00:25:28.568
needs to be facing
the correct direction.

00:25:28.652 --> 00:25:30.278
Carol:
In the actual computer game,

00:25:30.320 --> 00:25:33.323
We had to set the coordinates
to move around

00:25:33.406 --> 00:25:35.408
and rotate the sphere.

00:25:35.534 --> 00:25:37.327
And then find out
what side to face

00:25:37.410 --> 00:25:39.329
to dock with different large,

00:25:39.371 --> 00:25:41.665
medium, and small pieces.

00:25:41.706 --> 00:25:45.544
Tanner:
So that you know where your
sphere needs to be, to dock.

00:25:45.544 --> 00:25:48.338
-Follow? Capisce?
-Capisce.

00:25:48.380 --> 00:25:50.298
All right. So...

00:25:50.340 --> 00:25:53.552
Advik:
The whole game is basically
capture the flag,

00:25:53.635 --> 00:25:58.014
and the hard part was learning
a really good strategy,

00:25:58.098 --> 00:25:59.683
and trying to figure out
how to do this

00:25:59.724 --> 00:26:01.351
in the graphical editor.

00:26:01.393 --> 00:26:02.978
All right, let's check out
this simulation.

00:26:03.019 --> 00:26:04.938
Let's see if we get
some points here.

00:26:05.021 --> 00:26:07.566
Carol:
We have to work together
to plan ahead.

00:26:07.649 --> 00:26:09.234
Because what the other team--

00:26:09.317 --> 00:26:11.027
We just don't know
what's gonna happen,

00:26:11.111 --> 00:26:12.571
so we can't change anything.

00:26:12.612 --> 00:26:14.864
If you were looking
at the other team's strategy,

00:26:14.906 --> 00:26:16.116
what would you guess
this one is?

00:26:16.199 --> 00:26:18.743
Going to the closest
satellite piece.

00:26:18.827 --> 00:26:20.412
Going to the next
satellite piece.

00:26:20.495 --> 00:26:22.038
So you can...

00:26:22.122 --> 00:26:23.748
Advik:
From the first day till now,

00:26:23.832 --> 00:26:25.959
we've progressed a lot.

00:26:26.042 --> 00:26:27.711
Learning the game

00:26:27.752 --> 00:26:31.381
and learning how everything
docks and drops,

00:26:31.464 --> 00:26:33.717
and how many moves we can do,

00:26:33.758 --> 00:26:36.219
and, like, everything.

00:26:40.890 --> 00:26:43.810
-Hi, mom.
-Hi.

00:26:47.397 --> 00:26:48.815
Smitha:
I work at Google.

00:26:48.898 --> 00:26:51.151
I'm a technical
program manager.

00:26:51.234 --> 00:26:54.863
And there's a lot of need
to have these skills.

00:26:54.904 --> 00:26:59.618
Uh, we started...
three years ago.

00:26:59.659 --> 00:27:01.870
So coding is one
of the many things

00:27:01.911 --> 00:27:03.830
that we're trying
to introduce to him.

00:27:03.913 --> 00:27:05.874
Advik:
And that I like--
I still do.

00:27:05.915 --> 00:27:07.751
It is kind of frustrating,

00:27:07.834 --> 00:27:10.003
uh, some parts, where, like,

00:27:10.086 --> 00:27:13.089
the code doesn't work, or you
don't know what's happening.

00:27:13.173 --> 00:27:17.636
Our team won the first time
and lost the second.

00:27:17.677 --> 00:27:21.264
When Advik was 6 1/2 years old,

00:27:21.348 --> 00:27:24.100
he came home one day,
and he said,

00:27:24.142 --> 00:27:27.729
"Can we go back to India,
or can you change my skin?"

00:27:27.771 --> 00:27:29.105
I said,
"Why are you saying that?"

00:27:29.189 --> 00:27:31.274
"'Cause my friend told me
I don't belong here."

00:27:32.192 --> 00:27:37.155
That was a big, um,
uh, wakeup moment for us.

00:27:37.238 --> 00:27:43.662
I just-- We just wanted him to
be very happy in his own skin

00:27:43.662 --> 00:27:46.206
and with his own lifestyle.

00:27:48.416 --> 00:27:50.669
Praveen: I want him
to discover his passion

00:27:50.710 --> 00:27:53.004
and just pursue it, like,
wholeheartedly.

00:27:53.088 --> 00:27:54.964
Growing up back in India,

00:27:55.048 --> 00:27:58.301
we were all expected to be
an engineer or a doctor.

00:27:58.385 --> 00:28:01.763
Usually that's the two most
promising careers in India.

00:28:01.805 --> 00:28:03.515
Uh,
that's not the case here...

00:28:03.598 --> 00:28:07.727
You're an engineer and your
brother and sister are...

00:28:07.811 --> 00:28:09.437
-Doctors.
-Doctors. Yeah.

00:28:09.479 --> 00:28:11.231
So you're the only outcast.

00:28:11.314 --> 00:28:14.192
And you're the only one
who lives in America.

00:28:14.275 --> 00:28:16.069
-Yes. Yes.
-(laughs) Outcast.

00:28:16.152 --> 00:28:17.696
So far--
far from family, yes.

00:28:17.696 --> 00:28:20.740
Siblings are still
in India, yes.

00:28:20.824 --> 00:28:23.952
Remember this? This was,
uh, your first hike.

00:28:23.993 --> 00:28:25.829
Yeah, you're still--
You're wearing jeans,

00:28:25.912 --> 00:28:28.248
which is not appropriate
for the hike.

00:28:28.331 --> 00:28:32.001
And then here we have...
couple weeks ago.

00:28:32.085 --> 00:28:34.587
Yeah, so that is from
couple of weeks ago. Yes.

00:28:34.713 --> 00:28:37.173
The difference.

00:28:37.215 --> 00:28:38.425
Yeah.

00:28:38.508 --> 00:28:42.178
In Sequoia, we saw
all the stars at night, right?

00:28:42.262 --> 00:28:44.055
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
That was cool.

00:28:44.139 --> 00:28:45.890
-Yeah, so--
-So many.

00:28:45.974 --> 00:28:48.518
This gives you a whole
different perspective

00:28:48.560 --> 00:28:50.478
on, like, how small we are.

00:28:50.520 --> 00:28:54.023
Some of those stars
are literally millions
of light years away.

00:28:54.107 --> 00:28:58.528
They're that far,
and the universe is so big.

00:28:58.611 --> 00:29:00.864
There's so much else.

00:29:00.905 --> 00:29:04.451
There's a lot
to space and astronomy.

00:29:04.534 --> 00:29:05.869
Yeah, that's...

00:29:05.910 --> 00:29:07.078
I want to go to space.

00:29:07.162 --> 00:29:08.663
-You want to go to space?
-Yeah.

00:29:08.747 --> 00:29:10.790
Oh, okay. This is first time
I'm hearing you say that.

00:29:10.874 --> 00:29:12.667
(laughs)

00:29:12.751 --> 00:29:15.211
Well, it's-- it's good.

00:29:15.253 --> 00:29:19.966
There's a whole other world out
there that we need to explore.

00:29:20.049 --> 00:29:23.386
Man:
Seven, six, five, four...

00:29:23.428 --> 00:29:28.224
and ignition,
two, one, zero.

00:29:29.392 --> 00:29:31.269
And liftoff.

00:29:31.352 --> 00:29:34.063
Countdown to Mars continues.

00:29:38.109 --> 00:29:39.819
Touchdown confirmed.
Receive...

00:29:39.903 --> 00:29:44.783
(all cheering)

00:29:44.824 --> 00:29:49.579
They were testing out how would
you control a rover from orbit.

00:29:49.662 --> 00:29:52.499
'Cause there are certain
delays associated with
the communication,

00:29:52.582 --> 00:29:54.501
and it's so far away
that you have seconds,

00:29:54.584 --> 00:29:56.503
maybe even minutes of delay,
right?

00:29:56.586 --> 00:30:00.048
How do you control a robot
on a far-off world like Mars?

00:30:00.089 --> 00:30:02.467
So this rover-scape
was built to test out...

00:30:02.550 --> 00:30:05.470
Advik:
Everybody's saying, "Oh,
we need to move to Mars.

00:30:05.553 --> 00:30:08.097
The Earth is gonna blow up,"
and stuff like that.

00:30:10.058 --> 00:30:12.811
Um, soon, but not yet.

00:30:12.894 --> 00:30:15.230
Well, like, it's gonna
get overheated,

00:30:15.271 --> 00:30:17.899
and everybody's saying
it's gonna flood,

00:30:17.941 --> 00:30:19.484
'cause, like, the--

00:30:19.567 --> 00:30:23.112
all the global warming
is melting the glaciers.

00:30:23.947 --> 00:30:25.240
If it does melt everything,

00:30:25.281 --> 00:30:28.952
then the whole Earth
will be flooded.

00:30:31.329 --> 00:30:36.292
I really want to try
and stop global warming.

00:30:38.628 --> 00:30:44.342
I think it comes from wanting
to help the environment.

00:30:44.425 --> 00:30:48.096
Wanting to help the ocean,
because there's so many animals

00:30:48.137 --> 00:30:50.014
that are going extinct,

00:30:50.098 --> 00:30:53.726
and I just think
that if I can help them,

00:30:53.852 --> 00:30:58.231
it would be the most amazing
thing in the world to me.

00:31:10.618 --> 00:31:13.162
Tanner:
I think there's that aspect
of it, of like,

00:31:13.204 --> 00:31:15.039
pushing mankind forward.

00:31:15.081 --> 00:31:17.375
Like, the opportunity
for the kids to be

00:31:17.458 --> 00:31:20.879
going to Mars in 20 years
is very-- is very realistic.

00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:23.047
One of them
will probably be up there.

00:31:23.131 --> 00:31:24.549
-Yeah. Yeah. So...
-That's what I want to see.

00:31:24.632 --> 00:31:25.967
Wow.

00:31:26.050 --> 00:31:27.135
-Come on, in, guys.
-Sorry, guys. (laughs)

00:31:27.218 --> 00:31:28.678
That's all right.

00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:30.471
My name is Jasmine Leyva.

00:31:30.555 --> 00:31:34.017
I am a reporter
for the Silicon Valley
Community Newspapers.

00:31:34.058 --> 00:31:36.394
There is a lot of STEM
within the Silicon Valley,

00:31:36.436 --> 00:31:39.898
but the difference here
is that this is something big

00:31:39.981 --> 00:31:41.524
happening somewhere so local,

00:31:41.566 --> 00:31:42.692
and people
might not even know

00:31:42.734 --> 00:31:43.735
it's in their backyard.

00:31:43.776 --> 00:31:45.236
Tanner:
Conditional.

00:31:45.320 --> 00:31:46.946
If you-- If--
Wait, no. Wait, no.

00:31:47.030 --> 00:31:49.908
If you get number of SPS held
and it equals zero,

00:31:49.949 --> 00:31:51.451
sub position
target to that.

00:31:51.534 --> 00:31:54.412
Jasmine: What interested me
is that these kids

00:31:54.495 --> 00:31:56.998
are trying to solve
real-world problems.

00:31:57.081 --> 00:31:59.834
Even one of the kids said,
"Earth is failing."

00:31:59.918 --> 00:32:01.753
It's, like, "Okay, well,
how do you solve that?"

00:32:01.836 --> 00:32:04.130
And these kids probably,
in the future,

00:32:04.213 --> 00:32:06.049
if not now,
have that answer.

00:32:06.090 --> 00:32:07.842
Tanner:
Is this correct?

00:32:07.926 --> 00:32:09.928
Yeah. Pile. Compile.
That way you can make sure.

00:32:09.969 --> 00:32:13.473
This loop, so far,
drops our SPS.

00:32:13.556 --> 00:32:15.350
We've got points
for our triangle.

00:32:15.433 --> 00:32:17.769
Now, which piece
do we want to go for first?

00:32:17.852 --> 00:32:20.605
-Large, yeah.
-The large satellite piece.

00:32:20.647 --> 00:32:21.940
Carol:
It's go big or go home.

00:32:22.023 --> 00:32:23.066
Tanner: It really
reminds me of, like,

00:32:23.107 --> 00:32:25.276
for me to learn
another language.

00:32:25.318 --> 00:32:26.486
It's going
to be hard for me.

00:32:26.569 --> 00:32:27.946
If I was a kid,

00:32:27.987 --> 00:32:29.864
this, for them,
is computer language,

00:32:29.948 --> 00:32:30.990
coding language.

00:32:31.074 --> 00:32:32.825
They just run with it,

00:32:32.951 --> 00:32:34.702
and they're able
to make it fun.

00:32:34.786 --> 00:32:36.287
We got this.
We got this. We got this.

00:32:36.329 --> 00:32:37.497
What?

00:32:37.580 --> 00:32:39.999
So, ladies and gentlemen,
we docked a large item.

00:32:40.083 --> 00:32:41.960
We got a penalty
going on the way over here.

00:32:42.001 --> 00:32:43.670
How can we fix that?

00:32:43.753 --> 00:32:46.798
So basically, we're competing
with ourselves right now.

00:32:46.881 --> 00:32:49.050
And then we submit a code,

00:32:49.133 --> 00:32:51.010
our best code that we have
come up with,

00:32:51.094 --> 00:32:55.139
to our region competition.

00:32:55.181 --> 00:32:57.308
Now, if we have the best code
out of that group,

00:32:57.350 --> 00:33:01.980
our code will be uploaded
to the space station,

00:33:02.063 --> 00:33:04.273
and we'll get
to see the spheres

00:33:04.315 --> 00:33:07.151
actually play out the game
in zero gravity

00:33:07.235 --> 00:33:09.737
that they've been
coding this entire time.

00:33:11.364 --> 00:33:16.995
Jack Fischer:
If we're ever going to break
the bonds of gravity

00:33:17.078 --> 00:33:19.706
and become
an interplanetary species,

00:33:19.789 --> 00:33:21.666
we need to work together,

00:33:21.708 --> 00:33:23.543
and we can't build a team

00:33:23.626 --> 00:33:26.629
if we don't respect
and understand each other.

00:33:26.671 --> 00:33:31.009
If Fyodor and I
are the two very lucky people

00:33:31.009 --> 00:33:34.053
that get to sit
upon a monument

00:33:34.137 --> 00:33:36.347
to international cooperation

00:33:36.389 --> 00:33:38.433
and then go
to an even bigger one...

00:33:39.308 --> 00:33:41.644
Every day, you're reminded of

00:33:42.020 --> 00:33:44.689
how many people make this happen...

00:33:45.857 --> 00:33:47.525
Male Announcer:
Jack Fischer, Fyodor Yurchikhin

00:33:47.608 --> 00:33:51.821
on their way to
the International Space Station.

00:33:55.658 --> 00:33:57.285
Female recorded voice:
Winchester.

00:33:57.368 --> 00:34:01.205
Do not cross the tracks
when the lights are flashing.

00:34:01.247 --> 00:34:05.418
Tanner:
My love for space and science
came from my grandfather.

00:34:06.335 --> 00:34:08.671
-(speaks Spanish)
-Hello there.

00:34:08.713 --> 00:34:10.214
-How you doing?
-How are you, amigo?

00:34:10.298 --> 00:34:11.591
Good to see you.

00:34:11.674 --> 00:34:13.217
Tanner:
He worked for PG&E,

00:34:13.259 --> 00:34:14.510
and he always had
NASA stuff around.

00:34:14.552 --> 00:34:17.722
And so to play a part
in his legacy

00:34:17.805 --> 00:34:20.558
and where we're going
in the future, um,

00:34:20.767 --> 00:34:21.768
it's a pretty big deal for me.

00:34:22.268 --> 00:34:24.228
So, we've got some pictures
with history here.

00:34:25.229 --> 00:34:26.230
My dad was?

00:34:26.481 --> 00:34:27.482
A helicopter gunner.

00:34:27.982 --> 00:34:28.691
Vietnam.

00:34:28.691 --> 00:34:29.317
Wow.

00:34:29.525 --> 00:34:31.319
He was lucky he came back alive.

00:34:31.444 --> 00:34:32.695
Yeah, I'm lucky
he came back alive.

00:34:32.862 --> 00:34:33.362
Oh, he had to.

00:34:33.488 --> 00:34:33.988
Yeah.

00:34:33.988 --> 00:34:35.114
Then I wouldn't be here.

00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:35.782
Oh no.

00:34:35.782 --> 00:34:37.742
(laughs)

00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:39.911
So, that was what it's all
about.

00:34:41.537 --> 00:34:42.663
Is that a piece
of the space station?

00:34:42.747 --> 00:34:43.456
Yeah.

00:34:43.706 --> 00:34:45.500
Were they are surprised
to have a...

00:34:45.541 --> 00:34:49.128
hardworking Latino that knew
what he was doing or what?

00:34:49.128 --> 00:34:50.129
Yeah.

00:34:51.547 --> 00:34:53.966
I worked for NASA and

00:34:54.133 --> 00:34:58.763
most of the work that I did was
parts for the space station.

00:34:58.888 --> 00:35:01.432
The stuff that connects with
engineering and space,

00:35:01.516 --> 00:35:04.435
that's what
I've got from you.

00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:05.978
Like, I always knew, Pop--

00:35:06.062 --> 00:35:08.940
I always knew from when I was
too old to be in camp

00:35:09.023 --> 00:35:11.609
that I wanted to be a teacher,
I wanted to be a leader.

00:35:11.692 --> 00:35:13.736
I wanted to be, you know,
a coach.

00:35:13.778 --> 00:35:15.363
I always knew that,

00:35:15.404 --> 00:35:17.657
but I didn't know
that I was going to be
using coding to do it.

00:35:17.657 --> 00:35:19.367
Grandfather: What you're doing
with the kids...

00:35:20.743 --> 00:35:21.744
to open their eyes.

00:35:22.662 --> 00:35:24.580
So this one is the US lab...

00:35:24.664 --> 00:35:26.582
to see what's around them,

00:35:27.625 --> 00:35:30.503
to beneift your life, the
benefit is there.

00:35:31.754 --> 00:35:33.631
And the opportunity.

00:35:34.048 --> 00:35:36.717
Carol:
...Target to, um, item zero
docking location.

00:35:36.759 --> 00:35:37.760
There you go.

00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:39.303
Like, how do we
accomplish this thing?

00:35:41.222 --> 00:35:43.558
That gives you the
encouragement to keep going,
you know?

00:35:44.100 --> 00:35:45.017
Yeah.

00:35:45.017 --> 00:35:45.935
Just keep it up.

00:35:46.310 --> 00:35:48.771
That's what I'm going to do.
That's what I'm going to do.

00:35:48.813 --> 00:35:54.110
I see my-- my aunts and my dad,
and they're all, you know,

00:35:54.152 --> 00:35:56.112
six, seven, nine.

00:35:56.195 --> 00:36:00.199
Right after this, they come
to our middle school program,

00:36:00.324 --> 00:36:01.659
and I got a chance to bring

00:36:01.742 --> 00:36:04.871
all this identification
with the Latinos

00:36:04.954 --> 00:36:07.456
because of what my grandfather
and my grandmother

00:36:07.498 --> 00:36:08.833
made for my family.

00:36:08.916 --> 00:36:11.711
It's been important.

00:36:11.711 --> 00:36:13.337
Oh, so many years ago.

00:36:13.629 --> 00:36:15.548
I'm 92 years old, you know,

00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:17.758
what happened to the years?

00:36:18.551 --> 00:36:19.552
They disappear.

00:36:19.802 --> 00:36:20.553
Yeah.

00:37:21.739 --> 00:37:25.493
My grandpa passed away,
and...

00:37:25.534 --> 00:37:28.496
I wish, my baby sister...

00:37:28.537 --> 00:37:31.666
that she would have
met him somehow.

00:37:31.749 --> 00:37:34.335
(cries)

00:38:49.827 --> 00:38:53.372
Man: We are still deeply
impacted by their loss,

00:38:53.414 --> 00:38:57.710
although this year marks
53 years since Apollo 1.

00:38:57.752 --> 00:39:01.130
34 years since
the space shuttle Challenger,

00:39:01.213 --> 00:39:05.343
and 17 years since
the space shuttle
Columbia tragedies,

00:39:05.426 --> 00:39:08.888
their crews
are remembered forever.

00:39:11.640 --> 00:39:15.061
Tanner:
Not only is it really sad for
the people and the families,

00:39:15.102 --> 00:39:16.729
but our entire country.

00:39:16.771 --> 00:39:20.483
It's very scary stuff, because
we've had failures before.

00:39:20.566 --> 00:39:24.153
So if something
is going wrong two minutes in,

00:39:24.236 --> 00:39:25.946
are we going to have
a chance to change it?

00:39:25.988 --> 00:39:29.700
We need a plan every little
piece of that code,

00:39:29.784 --> 00:39:31.619
because a small
miscalculation...

00:39:31.702 --> 00:39:34.872
Advik:
I think I'm already inspired
by Tanner and his grandpa.

00:39:34.955 --> 00:39:37.792
His grandfather
was born in Mexico,

00:39:37.833 --> 00:39:41.253
and he came up here
to have better education.

00:39:41.295 --> 00:39:45.508
And soon NASA wanted him to
work on the Hubble Telescope.

00:39:45.591 --> 00:39:47.134
Announcer:
Our window on the universe.

00:39:47.176 --> 00:39:49.178
Advik:
And it's still mapping
to this day.

00:39:49.261 --> 00:39:50.679
Announcer: ...the breadth
of the scientific discoveries

00:39:50.763 --> 00:39:51.972
it's been able to make.

00:39:52.056 --> 00:39:53.391
Advik:
I found that fascinating.

00:39:53.432 --> 00:39:54.809
Announcer:
The age of the universe,

00:39:54.892 --> 00:39:56.769
proving the existence
of black holes...

00:39:56.811 --> 00:39:59.688
Man:
The heavens just...

00:39:59.772 --> 00:40:02.775
Woman: You know, I think
the end of the story is...

00:40:02.817 --> 00:40:04.652
Man:
...human beings on this Earth

00:40:04.735 --> 00:40:07.321
ever imagined that they
would be able to see?

00:40:07.405 --> 00:40:10.491
Tanner: And because
human life is very precious,

00:40:10.574 --> 00:40:14.954
we had seven astronauts
on the space shuttle.

00:40:14.995 --> 00:40:18.499
Male Reporter:
Everything looking good
on board Columbia.

00:40:21.460 --> 00:40:24.839
You see our whole planet
go by,

00:40:24.922 --> 00:40:27.716
and it just
left me thinking that,

00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:31.971
"Wow, just 90 minutes

00:40:32.012 --> 00:40:36.725
and this whole
planet has gone by...

00:40:36.809 --> 00:40:40.855
this one
magnificent planet,

00:40:40.938 --> 00:40:43.190
which is the only place
that supports

00:40:43.274 --> 00:40:44.859
life that we know of..."

00:40:44.942 --> 00:40:48.863
So I really want
to get that feeling again.

00:40:48.946 --> 00:40:52.450
So that's what
I'm looking forward to.

00:40:52.491 --> 00:40:55.786
(indistinct transmission)

00:40:55.870 --> 00:40:57.371
Female Reporter:
It's been ten years

00:40:57.455 --> 00:40:59.290
since the space shuttle
disaster.

00:40:59.373 --> 00:41:02.084
After a 16-day mission...

00:41:05.463 --> 00:41:07.173
The first woman
born in India

00:41:07.214 --> 00:41:09.842
to travel to space
spent a total...

00:41:09.884 --> 00:41:11.719
Female Reporter:
15 years after her death...

00:41:11.802 --> 00:41:15.890
(speaking foreign language)

00:41:22.980 --> 00:41:28.486
The Hindu religion,
it's in every part of my life.

00:41:30.196 --> 00:41:34.074
This throne, it's from
my great grandmother

00:41:34.158 --> 00:41:36.744
and has been in our family
for generations.

00:41:38.245 --> 00:41:42.750
The reason why my mother's
picture is with the cards

00:41:42.791 --> 00:41:46.545
is we believe that when
humans passes away,

00:41:46.587 --> 00:41:49.131
their soul becomes
one with a God,

00:41:49.215 --> 00:41:52.092
and we pray to them.

00:41:52.176 --> 00:41:54.178
(speaks foreign language)

00:41:54.261 --> 00:41:56.096
We have a ritual where

00:41:56.138 --> 00:41:58.933
we invite the soul back
into our house

00:41:58.974 --> 00:42:01.268
on the day that
she passed away.

00:42:02.520 --> 00:42:04.980
And she blesses all of us.

00:42:05.064 --> 00:42:09.151
And then they go back
happily for one more year...

00:42:09.235 --> 00:42:11.278
to the gods.

00:42:17.034 --> 00:42:23.082
Makayla:
I wish for people
to be equal and...

00:42:23.165 --> 00:42:26.043
like, have their own dreams,

00:42:26.126 --> 00:42:29.755
believe what they want...

00:42:29.838 --> 00:42:33.259
and I-- I just wish
I can be part of that,

00:42:33.342 --> 00:42:35.469
part of that process.

00:42:35.553 --> 00:42:38.973
Like, Advik's from India,

00:42:39.014 --> 00:42:43.602
and Carol's from--
her family is from Mexico.

00:42:43.686 --> 00:42:45.563
I like how we work together.

00:42:45.604 --> 00:42:50.901
And it makes me think you can
believe whatever you want.

00:42:50.985 --> 00:42:52.403
You can dream whatever you want,

00:42:52.486 --> 00:42:57.700
and that if you can
work together very well,

00:42:57.741 --> 00:43:01.704
you'll fly
straight to the moon.

00:43:04.498 --> 00:43:08.085
Advik:
I think the greatest
thing about space

00:43:08.168 --> 00:43:13.757
is memories of watching people
who've gone to the moon.

00:43:15.217 --> 00:43:19.096
It's just, like,
cool thinking about that.

00:43:19.179 --> 00:43:20.889
Man:
The Eagle has landed.

00:43:20.973 --> 00:43:24.018
Advik: Because that's really
hard to achieve.

00:43:24.059 --> 00:43:26.937
Neil: As a symbol to mankind
that we can live...

00:43:27.021 --> 00:43:29.148
in peace and harmony
in the future.

00:43:29.231 --> 00:43:33.235
Advik: You can be cheering and,
like, you're the best person
in the world.

00:43:35.946 --> 00:43:39.325
If you even reach space,

00:43:39.408 --> 00:43:44.288
you'll be like, "Oh,
we're the champions" and stuff.

00:43:49.793 --> 00:43:51.754
Tanner:
Ladies and gentlemen,

00:43:51.837 --> 00:43:53.255
what we need to happen today,

00:43:53.297 --> 00:43:55.132
for us to get our code
submitted on time,

00:43:55.215 --> 00:43:59.386
We need to have a learning
environment that is focused.

00:43:59.428 --> 00:44:02.222
If this were a basketball game,
this would be fourth quarter,

00:44:02.264 --> 00:44:03.932
one minute left on the clock.

00:44:04.016 --> 00:44:06.435
We're down by five points.

00:44:06.518 --> 00:44:08.270
It's going to take
all of your brains

00:44:08.354 --> 00:44:10.689
in order to get this
code done on time.

00:44:10.773 --> 00:44:12.191
-Understood?
-Let's do it.

00:44:12.274 --> 00:44:13.817
All right.

00:44:13.901 --> 00:44:16.820
-We're watching it.
-Did it work?

00:44:16.904 --> 00:44:18.697
It's coming. Still coming.

00:44:18.781 --> 00:44:20.699
There we go.

00:44:20.783 --> 00:44:24.244
Oh, what happened?

00:44:25.329 --> 00:44:26.664
-Oh...
-We'll find out.

00:44:26.664 --> 00:44:27.956
We'll find out.

00:44:27.998 --> 00:44:30.376
It's coding with kids.
It's a disaster.

00:44:30.459 --> 00:44:32.461
(Tanner laughs)

00:44:32.544 --> 00:44:35.673
(children chatting indistinct)

00:44:35.756 --> 00:44:38.050
Right,
but the logic of it is

00:44:38.133 --> 00:44:40.094
if it's not in our
assembly zone,

00:44:40.135 --> 00:44:41.804
we're not getting points
for it, correct?

00:44:41.845 --> 00:44:43.180
Yeah.

00:44:43.263 --> 00:44:45.307
So this statement here
is saying, "go get it"

00:44:45.349 --> 00:44:46.475
if it's not in our zone.

00:44:46.517 --> 00:44:49.812
So it only put "item one
in zone equals false"?

00:44:49.853 --> 00:44:51.063
So that's why I'm saying

00:44:51.146 --> 00:44:54.316
add one more "and"
to that statement

00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:57.820
and "item zero false."

00:44:57.903 --> 00:44:59.780
That's what I was
just telling you.

00:44:59.822 --> 00:45:01.323
Oh, yeah.

00:45:01.407 --> 00:45:02.825
Oh, yeah, you're right.

00:45:02.908 --> 00:45:05.703
First by dropping our SPS
next to the large,

00:45:05.786 --> 00:45:06.995
and then after
we get the large,

00:45:07.037 --> 00:45:08.497
we put it in our--

00:45:08.539 --> 00:45:10.082
But first we have to...

00:45:10.165 --> 00:45:11.917
-Yeah, that's why we
make the triangle.
-Yeah.

00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:14.837
But we haven't
finished any of this.

00:45:14.878 --> 00:45:16.296
Because of where
the assembly zone is,

00:45:16.338 --> 00:45:18.716
this docking site is closer
than this one.

00:45:18.716 --> 00:45:21.051
There's a block
in the coding,

00:45:21.135 --> 00:45:24.304
which is, uh,
"get assembly zone info."

00:45:24.346 --> 00:45:26.890
And we've coded it
so that no matter

00:45:26.974 --> 00:45:29.184
where the assembly zones are,
it'll work.

00:45:29.268 --> 00:45:31.228
We're actually going to be
trying to steal from each other.

00:45:31.311 --> 00:45:34.022
So it's going
to be interesting.

00:45:34.064 --> 00:45:36.942
Whoa, we're winning.

00:45:37.025 --> 00:45:39.820
We decided we're picking up
this one and that one,

00:45:39.862 --> 00:45:43.574
the largest, and they give
.2 points each.

00:45:43.657 --> 00:45:45.534
So if we do it properly,

00:45:45.576 --> 00:45:48.412
then we should get
.4 points per second.

00:45:48.495 --> 00:45:51.749
Right now we're reaching,
like, 23 to 25 points.

00:45:51.749 --> 00:45:53.917
The objective that we had
is to get

00:45:54.001 --> 00:45:56.044
the large item
closest to us,

00:45:56.086 --> 00:45:58.589
drop the rest of our SPS,

00:45:58.672 --> 00:46:00.883
drop off the large item,

00:46:00.966 --> 00:46:03.594
find the other
large item,

00:46:03.677 --> 00:46:06.638
and bring that back
to our assembly zone...

00:46:06.764 --> 00:46:08.515
-Whoo!
-Whoo!

00:46:08.557 --> 00:46:09.641
In the assembly.

00:46:09.767 --> 00:46:11.226
How many points
did we get?

00:46:11.310 --> 00:46:14.772
-27.
-Geez. That's a lot.

00:46:14.813 --> 00:46:16.774
I think we
could have a chance.

00:46:16.774 --> 00:46:20.652
Seeing something that's in space
that we're programming on Earth,

00:46:20.778 --> 00:46:25.574
that's-- that's, like,
kind of crazy for me.

00:46:25.657 --> 00:46:28.494
So next strategy is either

00:46:28.577 --> 00:46:30.204
go for a medium piece

00:46:30.245 --> 00:46:31.580
or camp
in our assembly zone

00:46:31.663 --> 00:46:33.791
so the other team can't dock
with our items.

00:46:33.874 --> 00:46:35.083
So they can't steal.

00:46:35.125 --> 00:46:36.543
I wanna do a campfire.

00:46:36.585 --> 00:46:39.421
So our strategy
is get the big marshmallows

00:46:39.505 --> 00:46:41.840
-and then have a campfire.
-Yes.

00:46:41.924 --> 00:46:43.592
(laughs)
All right.

00:46:46.345 --> 00:46:48.305
Makayla:
For our strategy,

00:46:48.388 --> 00:46:50.557
we decided to stick
with our assembly zone.

00:46:50.599 --> 00:46:53.060
I'm excited because...

00:46:53.101 --> 00:46:55.437
if we can win California,

00:46:55.521 --> 00:47:00.234
we can watch the competition
live at the space station.

00:47:00.275 --> 00:47:02.069
If this one docks
with the second item

00:47:02.110 --> 00:47:05.489
and doesn't keep dropping it,
we should be good.

00:47:07.032 --> 00:47:08.826
Now the question is,
does it dock and drop,

00:47:08.909 --> 00:47:10.244
dock and drop, and if it--

00:47:10.285 --> 00:47:11.912
Yeah,
this is the real question.

00:47:11.954 --> 00:47:14.915
(children exclaiming)

00:47:14.957 --> 00:47:18.168
Advik:
We're losing .2 points
every other second.

00:47:20.379 --> 00:47:24.132
-Let me get my...
-We have to survive.

00:47:28.846 --> 00:47:31.390
It reads the code
once per second,

00:47:31.473 --> 00:47:36.645
so this region says, "Okay,
if item zero is in the zone."

00:47:36.728 --> 00:47:38.313
Yes, item zero is in the zone,

00:47:38.355 --> 00:47:41.275
and I have item zero,
and I drop it.

00:47:41.316 --> 00:47:44.695
And then it goes back
and reads this again.

00:47:44.778 --> 00:47:46.280
Is item one in the zone?
Yes.

00:47:46.321 --> 00:47:48.866
Does nobody have item zero?
Yes.

00:47:48.866 --> 00:47:51.785
So it'll dock it again.

00:47:51.869 --> 00:47:54.580
-He's right.
-This is very hard.

00:47:55.330 --> 00:47:57.666
It's this part of the code
that's broken right now.

00:48:00.002 --> 00:48:01.879
Take the counter out.

00:48:01.962 --> 00:48:03.547
So this part works
without the...

00:48:03.630 --> 00:48:05.173
-Can I throw this away?
-Yeah, kill the counter.

00:48:05.215 --> 00:48:08.510
Yes. Bye, counter.

00:48:09.511 --> 00:48:10.637
Location.

00:48:10.679 --> 00:48:13.515
Item zero docking location.

00:48:15.100 --> 00:48:16.310
I'm going to have
to put the drop item

00:48:16.351 --> 00:48:17.603
and then take this off
and see if...

00:48:17.686 --> 00:48:19.021
-What?
-You're right. You're right.

00:48:19.062 --> 00:48:20.939
Take the conditional out.

00:48:27.195 --> 00:48:29.531
Uh, five minutes.

00:48:29.573 --> 00:48:34.202
(suspenseful music)

00:48:35.829 --> 00:48:38.040
Advik:
Does that work?

00:48:38.081 --> 00:48:39.625
Tanner:
Do it.

00:48:42.419 --> 00:48:45.130
The moment of truth
is here.

00:48:45.213 --> 00:48:47.507
Okay. Simulation?

00:48:47.549 --> 00:48:50.636
So we're supposed
to pick up both.

00:48:53.055 --> 00:48:55.515
Carol: Yes!
Now get the other, please.

00:48:57.059 --> 00:48:58.936
Okay, okay, okay.
We're almost there.

00:48:58.936 --> 00:49:01.063
-Yes!
-We got it. We got it.

00:49:01.104 --> 00:49:02.356
Tanner:
Now camp.

00:49:02.397 --> 00:49:04.608
It's camping.
It's trying to camp.

00:49:04.691 --> 00:49:07.653
-(all cheer)
-Yeah. All right, all right,
all right, all right.

00:49:07.736 --> 00:49:09.488
So, Carol.

00:49:09.571 --> 00:49:12.240
Yeah, Carol is going
to press the button.

00:49:12.282 --> 00:49:16.954
So you're going to save
as "Campbell, California."

00:49:16.995 --> 00:49:20.332
"This code is my team's
official competition program."

00:49:20.415 --> 00:49:22.709
-T minus 10-second count.
-T minus 10.

00:49:22.751 --> 00:49:26.254
Ten, nine, eight, seven,

00:49:26.296 --> 00:49:32.094
six, five, four, three,
two, one...

00:49:32.177 --> 00:49:35.722
(all cheer)

00:49:48.443 --> 00:49:50.988
Woman: You can see
if he can read it.

00:49:50.988 --> 00:49:52.781
It might be coffee.

00:49:52.823 --> 00:49:54.533
Cream and sugar.

00:49:54.616 --> 00:49:56.743
Man:
When you get a chance...

00:49:56.785 --> 00:49:58.245
call the landline please.

00:49:58.286 --> 00:50:00.497
Hey, Jack. We have the
SPHERES TV...

00:50:00.580 --> 00:50:03.041
enabled on
space to ground four.

00:50:03.125 --> 00:50:04.501
Fantastic.

00:50:04.584 --> 00:50:06.461
Yeah, I'm excited
to work with you guys.

00:50:06.503 --> 00:50:09.339
I'm-- obviously, this will be
the first time, uh, so...

00:50:09.423 --> 00:50:12.009
Man: Jack Fisher might be
the first one through the door.

00:50:12.050 --> 00:50:14.720
First time space flyer
making his way into station

00:50:14.803 --> 00:50:17.139
for the first time.

00:50:17.180 --> 00:50:19.349
(laughter)

00:50:37.576 --> 00:50:39.911
I love you back,
little kiddo.

00:50:40.662 --> 00:50:43.248
Woman: Getting set up
for the SPHERES experiment

00:50:43.331 --> 00:50:44.791
that's about to take place
on the space station.

00:50:44.833 --> 00:50:46.043
(overlapping chatter)

00:50:46.084 --> 00:50:47.502
For NASA versus Ames.

00:50:47.544 --> 00:50:49.046
Man: There's
Florida, Idaho.

00:50:49.129 --> 00:50:51.048
Some from Washington,
Oregon.

00:50:51.048 --> 00:50:52.841
Fischer: Your instructions,
is that correct?

00:50:52.924 --> 00:50:56.636
Alvar: Exactly. Today,
we will be doing the testing.

00:50:56.678 --> 00:50:57.804
Tonight.

00:50:57.846 --> 00:50:59.389
We're gonna have about
a thousand students

00:50:59.473 --> 00:51:00.682
across the country
watching us.

00:51:00.724 --> 00:51:02.559
My name is
Alvar Saenz-Otero.

00:51:02.642 --> 00:51:04.603
I'm the director of the MIT
Space Systems Laboratory.

00:51:04.686 --> 00:51:06.480
Fischer: All right,
no pressure. Alternate...

00:51:06.521 --> 00:51:09.691
Alvar: What inspired me to be
where I am is

00:51:09.733 --> 00:51:13.695
really an innate desire
to go to space.

00:51:13.737 --> 00:51:15.822
The hard part is that
in real life

00:51:15.864 --> 00:51:18.784
you do not see
the positioning system,

00:51:18.867 --> 00:51:22.496
the satellite parts,
or the assembly area.

00:51:22.537 --> 00:51:24.706
We have to imagine them.

00:51:26.833 --> 00:51:28.877
Fischer: Post time
for the magic.

00:51:28.960 --> 00:51:32.089
Alvar: The whole world today
does programming

00:51:32.172 --> 00:51:33.632
in the same languages.

00:51:33.715 --> 00:51:36.510
That's what's gonna
connect the whole world.

00:51:36.551 --> 00:51:38.470
If you are working
by sending your code

00:51:38.553 --> 00:51:40.931
to space station while
you're in middle school,

00:51:41.014 --> 00:51:42.933
that's amazing.

00:51:43.016 --> 00:51:44.476
I don't care who you are.

00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:47.813
If you have that ability
to engineering at age ten,

00:51:47.896 --> 00:51:50.107
space should no longer
be the final frontier.

00:51:50.107 --> 00:51:51.525
Woman: Copy that.

00:51:51.566 --> 00:51:54.319
And thank you
for all the science today.

00:51:54.402 --> 00:51:56.321
Okay, well, stand by...

00:52:06.748 --> 00:52:08.416
Makayla: We did
submit our code

00:52:08.500 --> 00:52:12.546
on the anniversary of the first
people on the moon.

00:52:12.587 --> 00:52:14.339
Do you think
that's good luck?

00:52:14.422 --> 00:52:16.341
-That's a sign.
-That could be a sign.

00:52:16.424 --> 00:52:17.509
You know who walked
on the moon?

00:52:17.592 --> 00:52:19.803
-Neil Armstrong?
-Neil Armstrong?

00:52:19.886 --> 00:52:22.139
Carol: Open it, Tanner!
Bring down the screen.

00:52:22.139 --> 00:52:23.723
Those words
don't let us see.

00:52:23.765 --> 00:52:25.976
So, before I open this up,
I just wanna thank you guys

00:52:26.059 --> 00:52:27.936
because this was something
new for me too,

00:52:28.019 --> 00:52:30.856
and for guys to first--
be our first year, like,

00:52:30.939 --> 00:52:34.067
I'm-- I'm just really happy
and-- and proud

00:52:34.151 --> 00:52:35.402
of everything you guys
have done.

00:52:35.443 --> 00:52:37.445
You guys ready?

00:52:37.529 --> 00:52:38.947
All right, high fives
everybody.

00:52:39.030 --> 00:52:40.407
You guys ready?

00:52:40.448 --> 00:52:43.785
(students chuckling,
chatting)

00:52:43.827 --> 00:52:45.453
All right.

00:52:45.495 --> 00:52:48.290
Let's take a look
at the results.

00:52:48.373 --> 00:52:49.916
(exhales deeply)

00:52:49.958 --> 00:52:51.293
Girl: What does it say?

00:52:51.334 --> 00:52:53.628
Fourth place.
Not bad for our first year.

00:52:53.712 --> 00:52:57.966
Uh, Gallant Robotics Girls
took first.

00:52:58.049 --> 00:53:00.927
This is the one that we lost,
so let's take a look.

00:53:03.388 --> 00:53:06.349
So far, it looks the same.

00:53:08.643 --> 00:53:11.646
They got .5 for their.
We got .48.

00:53:11.688 --> 00:53:13.565
♪♪

00:53:13.648 --> 00:53:14.733
All right, let's see
what they do.

00:53:14.816 --> 00:53:15.942
Carol: They're going
for ours.

00:53:15.984 --> 00:53:19.321
♪♪

00:53:19.362 --> 00:53:20.822
They did the same thing
as ours.

00:53:20.906 --> 00:53:24.034
But look at their--
Oh! Look at the scores.

00:53:24.117 --> 00:53:25.660
-Oh-- Seriously!
-No!

00:53:25.744 --> 00:53:28.079
-It was probably our time.
-Oh, the triangle.

00:53:28.205 --> 00:53:29.581
Theirs was bigger.

00:53:29.664 --> 00:53:31.208
And theirs-- their triangle's
a little bit bigger.

00:53:31.291 --> 00:53:32.834
Oh, my God.
Guys, look.

00:53:32.876 --> 00:53:35.128
They come right
for the steal.

00:53:35.212 --> 00:53:37.505
-Girl: So do we.
-Ha!

00:53:37.589 --> 00:53:39.216
So their code had medium.

00:53:39.257 --> 00:53:41.092
So we did lose
to a better code.

00:53:41.218 --> 00:53:42.969
I will say that.

00:53:43.011 --> 00:53:44.346
Even though we didn't win,

00:53:44.429 --> 00:53:46.223
it was pretty cool for us
to see that

00:53:46.264 --> 00:53:48.141
we actually made it
to the top five.

00:53:48.225 --> 00:53:51.269
The Gallant girls had worked
really hard for their code.

00:53:51.353 --> 00:53:52.771
Good job.

00:53:52.854 --> 00:53:55.232
And I liked that we had
the same strategy as them,

00:53:55.232 --> 00:53:56.608
that we thought alike.

00:53:56.691 --> 00:53:58.026
Throughout this week,
we're gonna be

00:53:58.068 --> 00:54:00.862
taking a look
at the other school's code...

00:54:00.946 --> 00:54:02.280
♪♪

00:54:02.364 --> 00:54:03.365
...and helping them
improve it.

00:54:03.406 --> 00:54:05.367
So that it represents California

00:54:05.408 --> 00:54:06.910
in the best way possible.

00:54:06.993 --> 00:54:10.997
We're all gonna be part
of the California team.

00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:13.124
The unicorn, that's our mascot.

00:54:13.250 --> 00:54:15.502
Advik: I know they put
the first place code up there,

00:54:15.543 --> 00:54:20.090
but our code was almost
exactly the same.

00:54:20.173 --> 00:54:23.718
We still did really good
for us first timers.

00:54:23.760 --> 00:54:26.054
Hats off to your guys
for picking the strategy.

00:54:26.137 --> 00:54:28.265
That's gonna go up
to the space station.

00:54:28.306 --> 00:54:31.851
Makayla: I think because we
work so well together as a team

00:54:31.893 --> 00:54:34.312
we just got back up,
brushed ourselves off,

00:54:34.396 --> 00:54:36.106
and we were off again

00:54:36.189 --> 00:54:39.067
helping the team
that actually won.

00:54:39.109 --> 00:54:40.777
Now, we're just trying to win
for California.

00:54:40.860 --> 00:54:43.029
Come on, get your hands in,
get your hands in.

00:54:43.071 --> 00:54:44.864
And no matter what happens,
we still achieved something.

00:54:44.906 --> 00:54:48.410
-One, two, three!
-Team California!

00:54:48.410 --> 00:54:54.374
♪♪

00:55:22.861 --> 00:55:24.321
(chuckles)

00:55:25.071 --> 00:55:28.450
This robotics program
has lit up my fire

00:55:28.491 --> 00:55:30.702
because with this one
I found out that instead

00:55:30.785 --> 00:55:32.829
I want to do it by myself.

00:55:32.912 --> 00:55:38.126
So I feel like I can
do more, a lot more.

00:55:39.377 --> 00:55:42.047
Woman: So all the schools are
coming today that competed?

00:55:42.130 --> 00:55:44.424
Makayla: Today, it's
the whole competition.

00:55:44.466 --> 00:55:47.802
We basically get to see
the game

00:55:47.844 --> 00:55:49.637
in zero gravity.

00:55:58.646 --> 00:56:01.608
This is the flag
that's gonna be used

00:56:01.649 --> 00:56:03.735
to represent
all of California.

00:56:03.818 --> 00:56:05.820
Carol, you can take it.

00:56:05.904 --> 00:56:09.115
Five months ago,
if you would have asked me

00:56:09.157 --> 00:56:12.786
if I was gonna have this
wonderful, amazing experience,

00:56:12.827 --> 00:56:14.496
I would've said no way.

00:56:14.537 --> 00:56:16.664
Man: And now boarding
the transfer van

00:56:16.706 --> 00:56:18.124
for the trip
to the launchpad.

00:56:18.166 --> 00:56:20.210
Man 2: It's
an exciting moment.

00:56:20.293 --> 00:56:22.629
Man 3: You know you're going
to-- on a crazy adventure

00:56:22.670 --> 00:56:25.173
and it's about to start,
so you...

00:56:25.215 --> 00:56:27.384
Tanner: I'm hoping
that they let me know

00:56:27.425 --> 00:56:29.177
what their journey is
after this.

00:56:29.219 --> 00:56:32.180
It's good to know that
all the-- all the hard work

00:56:32.222 --> 00:56:34.974
this year is over, and today
is just about enjoying

00:56:35.016 --> 00:56:38.603
NASA again, and, uh,
can't beat that.

00:56:38.686 --> 00:56:40.522
Woman: And these students
are literally

00:56:40.563 --> 00:56:42.023
reaching for the stars.

00:56:42.107 --> 00:56:43.191
They are helping out

00:56:43.274 --> 00:56:44.818
on the International
Space Station.

00:56:44.859 --> 00:56:45.985
Man: The International
Space Station

00:56:46.027 --> 00:56:48.154
is a wonderful
accomplishment.

00:56:48.196 --> 00:56:49.906
It was born at the end
of the Cold War.

00:56:49.989 --> 00:56:52.200
It's enabled many nations
to be one in space.

00:56:52.283 --> 00:56:54.619
Man 2: Apollo 11,
the astronauts are...

00:56:56.704 --> 00:56:59.040
Man 3: Expressing again
one final time

00:56:59.082 --> 00:57:00.708
for the start
of this sentimental journey

00:57:00.792 --> 00:57:02.210
into history, taking aim

00:57:02.252 --> 00:57:05.338
on the International
Space Station.

00:57:05.422 --> 00:57:07.715
Man 4: The summer of 2011,

00:57:07.799 --> 00:57:09.801
the space station
was complete.

00:57:09.884 --> 00:57:12.429
You all are gonna be the
generation that goes to Mars,

00:57:12.512 --> 00:57:14.931
so I call you
the Space Generation.

00:57:15.014 --> 00:57:17.308
Somebody was living
and working in space

00:57:17.434 --> 00:57:19.018
your entire life.

Man 5: We will never forget
the role the Space Shuttle

00:57:20.520 --> 00:57:22.147
played in its creation.

00:57:22.230 --> 00:57:24.983
Farewell, ISS.
Make us proud.

Woman: I want to congratulate
everybody around the world.

I am so proud of all
of the work that you've done.

00:57:38.746 --> 00:57:41.916
You have written code
to control satellites

00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:44.502
on the International
Space Station.

00:57:44.586 --> 00:57:47.380
So, everybody across
the country,

00:57:47.464 --> 00:57:50.967
give yourselves a round
of applause right now.

00:57:51.050 --> 00:57:53.720
And best of luck.

00:57:53.761 --> 00:57:56.890
So let's get this
competition started.

00:57:59.642 --> 00:58:03.605
If we win here,
then we go here against...

00:58:03.646 --> 00:58:04.856
We're versus someone
and versus someone,

00:58:04.939 --> 00:58:07.108
and then if we win,
we gotta...

00:58:07.192 --> 00:58:10.820
I hope we can at least win
the Conference B.

00:58:10.904 --> 00:58:14.866
Maybe not the whole thing,
but at least Conference B.

-Anybody need a bracket?
-I need one.

00:58:17.035 --> 00:58:20.497
I need the schedule
for the teams.

00:58:20.580 --> 00:58:23.166
(overlapping chatter)

00:58:23.249 --> 00:58:24.876
And, everybody,
make lots of noise

00:58:24.959 --> 00:58:27.879
for the space station
on the center screen.

00:58:27.962 --> 00:58:29.672
(cheering and applause)

00:58:29.756 --> 00:58:31.758

and you are
looking marvelous.

00:58:37.597 --> 00:58:39.516
How you doing, Cady?

00:58:39.557 --> 00:58:42.435
I am great,
but I will tell you

00:58:42.519 --> 00:58:44.896
that I've got some folks here
and around country.

00:58:44.979 --> 00:58:48.149
There are hundreds of kids,
and they are ready...

00:58:48.233 --> 00:58:51.528
My favorite part
about living up there

00:58:51.611 --> 00:58:53.988
was the flying.

00:58:54.030 --> 00:58:57.742
I loved it.
It was like being Peter Pan.

00:58:57.825 --> 00:59:00.828
You start to think
and live and play

00:59:00.870 --> 00:59:04.332
in entirely different ways.

00:59:04.374 --> 00:59:08.836
When I was a kid, girls
didn't become astronauts.

00:59:08.920 --> 00:59:11.881
For me, it took going
to college,

00:59:11.965 --> 00:59:13.716
being in a classroom,
and listening to a talk

00:59:13.800 --> 00:59:18.846
by Dr. Sally Ride, the first
American woman astronaut,

00:59:18.888 --> 00:59:23.851
to realize that this
maybe could be me.

00:59:23.893 --> 00:59:27.021
Man: STS-7 and America's
first woman astronaut.

00:59:27.105 --> 00:59:29.607
Cady: She had this adventure
in her job,

00:59:29.691 --> 00:59:31.734
and this sense of mission.

00:59:31.818 --> 00:59:37.031
That she was part of something
that was bigger than she was.

00:59:37.115 --> 00:59:39.909
The way we get to the future

00:59:39.993 --> 00:59:41.828
is when people
show us the way.

00:59:41.869 --> 00:59:43.871
Man: After her third
flight in space,

00:59:43.913 --> 00:59:45.707
now having logged
179 hours...

00:59:45.790 --> 00:59:48.042
Advik: Meet the astronaut,
Jack Fischer.

00:59:48.084 --> 00:59:50.795
Well, hello to all
my friends in Core 16.

00:59:50.878 --> 00:59:52.213
Joyce and Cady,

00:59:52.297 --> 00:59:54.591
and the whole team that
put SPHERES together.

00:59:54.632 --> 00:59:56.092
What a great program.

00:59:56.175 --> 00:59:59.804
And it's here,
and you're in the finals.

00:59:59.887 --> 01:00:00.972
All of you are champions.

01:00:01.055 --> 01:00:03.766
You've gotten this far,

01:00:03.850 --> 01:00:06.102
and let this only be
the first step.

01:00:06.185 --> 01:00:07.729
Don't let this be the end.

01:00:07.812 --> 01:00:10.356
Let this be
the start of a journey,

01:00:10.398 --> 01:00:13.026
a lifelong journey
of learning,

01:00:13.067 --> 01:00:15.069
where you grow
and contribute to society.

01:00:15.153 --> 01:00:18.239
I think given
what you've done so far,

01:00:18.323 --> 01:00:21.284
the future is bright
for what you can accomplish.

01:00:21.367 --> 01:00:25.330
So, with that, good luck
to all of the contestants,

01:00:25.413 --> 01:00:27.624
and let the games begin.

01:00:27.624 --> 01:00:30.877
(cheers and applause)

01:00:30.918 --> 01:00:33.171
Cady: You too, Fisch.

01:00:33.254 --> 01:00:34.631
That was an awesome,
awesome intro,

01:00:34.714 --> 01:00:37.050
and we are ready
for you to start.

01:00:41.971 --> 01:00:44.349
Alvar: And we are ready
for the first match.

01:00:44.432 --> 01:00:47.268
Man: West Virginia
versus Massachusetts.

01:00:47.352 --> 01:00:49.937
Alvar: West Virginia
in the blue satellite

01:00:49.979 --> 01:00:52.523
versus Massachusetts
in the orange satellite.

01:00:52.649 --> 01:00:55.318
He just holding
$200,000 robots.

01:00:55.401 --> 01:00:57.487
If you're on Team
Massachusetts, let's hear it.

01:00:57.570 --> 01:00:59.947
(cheers and applause)

01:01:00.031 --> 01:01:02.659
-Okay, here we go.
-Here we go.

01:01:02.659 --> 01:01:04.452
-Local pride.
- Yeah, we can see that.

01:01:04.535 --> 01:01:08.039
Massachusetts, it's
definitely getting nearby.

01:01:08.122 --> 01:01:10.041
Man: One of the spheres
is right on top

01:01:10.124 --> 01:01:11.793
of the assembly zone,
blocking it, making sure...

01:01:11.834 --> 01:01:15.129
- For blue, we have 2-2-1.
-(applause)

01:01:15.171 --> 01:01:16.839
Tanner:
Honestly, at the end of it,

01:01:16.923 --> 01:01:19.050
turning that code in
was a result

01:01:19.133 --> 01:01:21.969
a lot of hard work,
a lot of frustration.

01:01:22.553 --> 01:01:26.182
Even though our team placed
fourth place in California,

01:01:26.224 --> 01:01:29.686
um, they were happy
with what they submitted.

01:01:29.727 --> 01:01:31.896
And we have a lot to learn
about coding.

01:01:31.938 --> 01:01:33.147
There's other teams...

01:01:33.147 --> 01:01:34.691
Grandfather: You just have to be

01:01:34.899 --> 01:01:36.567
dedicated to this work,

01:01:37.276 --> 01:01:39.237
and I know you can
do it, and so,

01:01:39.696 --> 01:01:41.906
when you go home
and lie down,

01:01:42.573 --> 01:01:44.617
and think, "this is what
I accomplished today,"

01:01:45.702 --> 01:01:46.953
Hey! That's pretty good.

01:01:46.953 --> 01:01:48.996
Yeah! Yeah.

01:01:49.080 --> 01:01:50.748
It's because
of my grandfather that

01:01:50.832 --> 01:01:53.918
I have opportunities, so...

01:01:53.960 --> 01:01:55.586
I think that's the best way
to pay respect

01:01:55.712 --> 01:01:58.756
is to educate these kids.

01:01:58.840 --> 01:02:01.926
You know, give 'em a shot.

01:02:03.177 --> 01:02:06.180
This was our first year ever
doing something like this.

01:02:06.764 --> 01:02:11.102
And I'm really proud to be
part of that first year.

01:02:14.063 --> 01:02:15.732
Man: California wins.

01:02:15.732 --> 01:02:18.192
Student: We worked so hard
on this one code,

01:02:18.234 --> 01:02:21.487
and to see it in space...

01:02:23.364 --> 01:02:25.575
I think it's
once in a lifetime.

01:02:25.658 --> 01:02:28.202
Man: Moving slowly towards
the Blue assembly zone

01:02:28.244 --> 01:02:30.496
and defending their zone
pretty well right now.

01:02:30.538 --> 01:02:33.374
Fischer: Blue's trying to
steal the large item.

01:02:33.416 --> 01:02:35.376
Oh, looks like Blue
picked it up.

01:02:35.418 --> 01:02:36.544
(students cheering)

01:02:36.627 --> 01:02:38.045
Blue won the game of chicken.

01:02:38.087 --> 01:02:39.756
Judge: Looks like California has
a pretty big advantage,

01:02:39.839 --> 01:02:41.549
'cause that is
the end of the game.

01:02:41.591 --> 01:02:45.052
Alvar: Blue, 2-3-4.
Orange, 1-5.

01:02:45.094 --> 01:02:48.097
- We copy that, sir.
-(cheering and applause)

01:02:48.181 --> 01:02:50.224
-Good job, Cali.
-Well, we won!

01:02:50.266 --> 01:02:54.228
♪ Celebrate good times,
come on! ♪

01:02:54.312 --> 01:02:57.106
We can see space.

01:02:57.190 --> 01:03:00.902
It's like
200 miles away, so...

01:03:00.985 --> 01:03:03.905
Alvar: Two versus 8-3.

01:03:03.946 --> 01:03:05.448
Advik: I learned
a lot about coding,

01:03:05.531 --> 01:03:07.658
and we had a lot
of fun together.

01:03:07.784 --> 01:03:10.203
We went through rough times,
good times,

01:03:10.244 --> 01:03:14.582
and finally we did it,
we're here.

01:03:14.624 --> 01:03:17.251
We made a team together.

01:03:17.293 --> 01:03:19.921
We worked hard
until the very end

01:03:20.004 --> 01:03:21.589
and didn't give up.

01:03:21.631 --> 01:03:24.091
Man: Looks like Oregon is
flying across the mount...

01:03:24.133 --> 01:03:26.928
They're trying to steal.

01:03:27.011 --> 01:03:30.431
And here we are.
We got so much more.

01:03:30.515 --> 01:03:33.726
-And that ends up here.
-That's what we did last time.

01:03:33.810 --> 01:03:35.978
Well, we could take...

01:03:36.062 --> 01:03:38.272
That won't stop here.

01:03:38.314 --> 01:03:41.901
-Fischer: 1-7-4,
-Avar: 2-2-6.

01:03:41.943 --> 01:03:46.113
Advik: No. Keep going.

01:03:46.197 --> 01:03:48.574
-Onwards and upwards.
-(laughter)

01:03:48.616 --> 01:03:50.034
-To infinity and beyond.

01:03:50.117 --> 01:03:53.454
To infinity and beyond.
Yes, exactly.

01:03:53.538 --> 01:03:58.584
And to pursue my dream
to go into space.

01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:03.923
-Everyone won one match.
-Oh, yeah.

01:04:03.965 --> 01:04:06.175
That's why we're
probably the closest.

01:04:06.259 --> 01:04:09.846
So it like all comes down
to us versus Idaho.

01:04:09.929 --> 01:04:13.349
Right now, if Idaho beats us,
they're gonna go the finals.

01:04:13.432 --> 01:04:15.768
If we beat them, it's gonna be
based on points.

01:04:15.852 --> 01:04:18.187
It's really suspenseful.

01:04:18.271 --> 01:04:21.315
The suspense is real.
Hashtag, the suspense.

01:04:21.357 --> 01:04:23.067
Tanner: We'll have to see
how it plays out.

01:04:23.150 --> 01:04:24.861
Nothing like a little bit
of anxiety, right?

01:04:24.902 --> 01:04:26.320
A little-- a little-- -

01:04:26.362 --> 01:04:28.030
I feel like I need to play
like suspenseful music

01:04:28.114 --> 01:04:29.365
right now.

01:04:29.448 --> 01:04:30.867
Advik: So there's like
100% fuel, right?

01:04:30.908 --> 01:04:33.536
That's different
from the CO2 tanks.

01:04:33.619 --> 01:04:36.122
Carol: To reach my goal
for robotics

01:04:36.163 --> 01:04:38.583
would be focusing
on my career

01:04:38.666 --> 01:04:43.129
and just making sure
that I'm happy doing it.

01:04:43.170 --> 01:04:46.465
All: To infinity and beyond!

01:04:46.507 --> 01:04:48.175
I'd like to contribute
something that has to do with

01:04:48.259 --> 01:04:50.136
going to a different planet,

01:04:50.177 --> 01:04:54.056
'cause then it can help
other people explore,

01:04:54.140 --> 01:04:56.350
'cause we don't know
what's out there.

01:05:15.369 --> 01:05:17.204
Alvar: This should be
a very important match

01:05:17.288 --> 01:05:19.498
between Idaho
and California.

01:05:19.540 --> 01:05:22.585
(applause)

01:05:23.419 --> 01:05:26.339
Man: California
in Orange.

01:05:26.380 --> 01:05:30.009
-Here we go.
-Boy: We're orange.

01:05:30.051 --> 01:05:33.220
Both spheres trying to
drop their SPSes.

01:05:33.304 --> 01:05:34.931
Man 2: Looks like orange
is at a bit

01:05:34.931 --> 01:05:36.807
of a disadvantage being farther
away from their assembly.

01:05:36.933 --> 01:05:39.477
Alvar: And actually between
Idaho and California,

01:05:39.560 --> 01:05:42.063
who wins this one is
likely the winner

01:05:42.104 --> 01:05:44.065
for Conference B.

01:05:44.148 --> 01:05:45.524
Man: So it looks like
the Orange sphere,

01:05:45.566 --> 01:05:47.526
California, successfully
dropping off...

01:05:47.568 --> 01:05:50.404
Fischer: All right, both have
dropped off their large item.

01:05:50.446 --> 01:05:52.990
- They both have .2.
-Yes!

01:05:53.074 --> 01:05:54.951
Orange dropped an item.

01:05:54.992 --> 01:05:57.828
Orange is making a beeline
to steal the large item.

01:05:57.954 --> 01:06:00.289
Man: We have California
attempting to steal.

01:06:00.373 --> 01:06:02.249
Let's see if they'll
be able to do it.

01:06:02.291 --> 01:06:04.543
That steal will do it.

01:06:04.585 --> 01:06:06.170
Fischer: Blue's making
a beeline to the tail.

01:06:06.253 --> 01:06:08.339
Man: Both spheres
now attempting to steal

01:06:08.422 --> 01:06:10.299
the other one's item.

01:06:11.884 --> 01:06:15.262
Fischer: All right, Blue stole
the large item from Orange.

01:06:15.304 --> 01:06:17.682
Blue-- Blue recovered first.

01:06:17.765 --> 01:06:20.559
Get that large item.

01:06:20.601 --> 01:06:22.603
Fischer: Looks like Orange
stole the large item

01:06:22.645 --> 01:06:25.106
from Blue.

01:06:25.147 --> 01:06:26.774
Man: Blue spheres heading
back toward their zones

01:06:26.857 --> 01:06:28.901
with the other one's objects.

01:06:28.985 --> 01:06:30.444
Alvar: Both of them stealing
each other's items.

01:06:30.528 --> 01:06:33.280
That's really amazing
for the final round.

01:06:33.322 --> 01:06:35.241
Man: Idaho spinning around,

01:06:35.282 --> 01:06:38.285
heading towards California's
assembly zone.

01:06:38.327 --> 01:06:40.746
California seems to be
hovering around their base,

01:06:40.788 --> 01:06:42.748
which is a good defense.

01:06:42.790 --> 01:06:46.335
Fischer: And we get
the large item back,

01:06:50.214 --> 01:06:54.010
Idaho Blue got 2-3-3,

01:06:54.093 --> 01:06:58.639
and Orange 1-7-4.

01:06:58.723 --> 01:07:01.392
Man: And that is the end
of the match.

01:07:01.475 --> 01:07:03.519
-Aww!
-1-7-4.

01:07:03.602 --> 01:07:06.105
Alvar: 2-3-3 versus 1-7-4.

01:07:06.147 --> 01:07:12.361
(cheering and applause)

01:07:12.445 --> 01:07:15.489
Woman: Okay, so Idaho won.

01:07:15.573 --> 01:07:18.242
(applause)

01:07:18.325 --> 01:07:21.037
Hey, guys, you know what?

01:07:21.120 --> 01:07:23.664
Amazing work.

01:07:23.748 --> 01:07:26.333
Alvar: So all of you did
an amazing job.

01:07:26.375 --> 01:07:28.252
The winners today,
the champions today,

01:07:28.335 --> 01:07:30.171
are the people
who got out to space,

01:07:30.254 --> 01:07:31.464
which is all of you guys.

01:07:31.505 --> 01:07:35.051
So stand up,
give a big, big clap.

01:07:35.134 --> 01:07:36.969
Congratulations, everybody.

01:07:37.053 --> 01:07:39.180
Congratulations!

01:07:42.349 --> 01:07:45.519
(cheering and applause)

01:07:52.902 --> 01:07:54.862
-Thank you.
-Congratulations.

01:07:54.904 --> 01:07:56.822
-Thank you.
-Very good.

01:07:57.948 --> 01:08:01.702
Carol: Seeing all our
hard work finally paying off,

01:08:01.744 --> 01:08:03.996
it makes me feel
proud of myself

01:08:04.080 --> 01:08:06.457
with how far I've come

01:08:06.540 --> 01:08:09.877
and my journey
of my life so far.

01:08:11.545 --> 01:08:15.257
Advik: I think if you reach
the destination,

01:08:15.341 --> 01:08:17.760
it's not the end.

01:08:17.843 --> 01:08:20.888
You can keep going.

01:08:22.890 --> 01:08:25.184
People are explorers.

01:08:25.226 --> 01:08:27.394
-All right.
-It's so good.

01:08:27.436 --> 01:08:31.232
They want to expand.

01:08:31.315 --> 01:08:36.028
It's like ships that can
cross the seas.

01:08:36.112 --> 01:08:39.323
Rocket ships that can
cross the galaxies.

01:08:42.201 --> 01:08:45.204
Carol: Whenever people say
the sky's the limit,

01:08:45.246 --> 01:08:46.747
I just think
that they're wrong,

01:08:46.831 --> 01:08:50.918
'cause there's much more
ahead of them.

01:08:54.547 --> 01:08:56.423
(cheering and applause)

01:08:56.507 --> 01:08:57.800
Man: Absolutely breathtaking!

01:08:57.883 --> 01:08:59.635
Woman: Hey, did you see
the corona?

01:08:59.718 --> 01:09:03.430
Man: And we are in total
solar eclipse.

01:09:03.472 --> 01:09:05.850
It's my first time
seeing it.

01:09:06.559 --> 01:09:09.895
Makayla: Teamwork causes
all these colossal things

01:09:09.937 --> 01:09:12.773
just like the first people
on the moon.

01:09:12.815 --> 01:09:14.900
They were a team.

01:09:14.942 --> 01:09:16.402
They worked together.

01:09:16.443 --> 01:09:21.574
To do that, it's just...
it's amazing.

01:09:23.450 --> 01:09:26.203
Tanner: They continue
to inspire me.

01:09:26.287 --> 01:09:30.791
And that's where the--
that's where the rewards are.

01:09:30.875 --> 01:09:35.796
That's what makes it
all worth it.

01:09:35.838 --> 01:09:39.884
And space being the vehicle
for the kids to dream...

01:09:42.094 --> 01:09:43.971
I'm all for it.

01:10:08.537 --> 01:10:11.916
(chatter over radio)

01:10:13.083 --> 01:10:16.587
Woman: 2.6 kilometers
from the surface of Mars.

01:10:16.670 --> 01:10:17.963
We have confirmation

01:10:18.005 --> 01:10:19.381
