A Legacy of Discovery, Built for the Future

For generations, NASA missions have done both, turning questions into knowledge and knowledge into new possibilities. Every image from another world, every distant galaxy brought into focus, and every new understanding of our universe has opened doors we didn't even know existed, inspiring us all to keep pushing beyond the known. Because after all, there is still so much left to discover. Explore more: https://science.nasa.gov Producers: Scott Bednar, Jessie Wilde Editor, Matthew Schara

What is said in the film

Science generates the big questions that we seek to answer. And as always, there is more work to do. The first photograph that a human being has ever seen of another planet. This nation should commit itself to achieving the goal of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. An extensive reconnaissance mission to the outer region of the solar system.

Hello from the children of planet Earth. It has this direct window to the rest of the universe. There's nothing in between. The vehicle’s now hitting the top of the Martian atmosphere. Best wishes for a successful science mission.

A 13-year mission that was of scientific discovery. The human race will always persevere into the future. The first flight of a powered aircraft on another planet. James Webb begins a voyage back to the birth of the universe. Humanity has changed the orbit of a planetary object.

We do this work of exploration for the next generation. Is there life elsewhere? If we crave some cosmic purpose, then let us find ourselves a worthy goal. We rise together back to the Moon and beyond. We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained for the progress of all people.

Science is the beating heart of our future. We will explore, we will build, we will inspire. We will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other. NASA.
