It's a competitionkonkurence we're holdingsaimniecība, the secondotrais X PRIZEBALVU,

Kregs Venters bija pasākuma priekšsēdētājs.
00:44
And I mettikās ProfessorProfesors HawkingHokings,
11
32000
2000
Es iepazinos ar profesoru Hokingu,
00:46
and he said his dreamsapnis was to travelceļot into spacetelpa.
12
34000
2000
un viņš teica, ka viņa sapnis ir pabūt kosmosā.
00:48
And I said, "I can't take you there,
13
36000
2000
Es teicu: „Es jūs tur nevaru nogādāt,
00:50
but I can take you into weightlessnessbezsvara into zero-gnulle-g.
14
38000
3000
bet es varu jūs aizvest piedzīvot bezsvara stāvokli.”
00:53
And he said, on the spotvietas, "AbsolutelyAbsolūti, yes."
15
41000
2000
Un viņš uzreiz pateica: „Pilnīgi noteikti! Jā!”
00:55
Well, the only way to experiencepieredze zero-gnulle-g on EarthZemes
16
43000
3000
Vienīgā iespēja, kā uz Zemes piedzīvot bezsvara stāvokli
00:58
is actuallyfaktiski with parabolicParaboliskās flightlidojums, weightlessbezsvara stāvokļa flightlidojums.
17
46000
3000
ir ar parabolas veida lidojumu, bezsvara lidojumu.
01:01
You take an airplanelidmašīna, you flylidot over the toptops, you're weightlessbezsvara stāvokļa for 25 secondssekundes.
18
49000
4000
Jūs ņemat lidmašīnu, uzlidojat augšā, un, lidojot lejup, 25 sekundes esat bezsvara stāvoklī,

Come back down, you weighsvars twicedivreiz as much.

nonākot lejā, jūs sverat divreiz vairāk kā parasti.
01:07
You do it again and again.

Jūs to darat atkal un atkal.
01:09

Tā jūs varat iegūt astoņas, 10 minūtes bezsvara,

01:13
We setiestatīt out to do this.
23

2000
Tāds bija mūsu mērķis.
01:15
It tookpaņēma us 11 yearsgadiem to becomekļūt operationaloperatīvais.
24
63000
2000
Tā sasniegšana mums prasīja 11 gadus.
01:17
And we announcedpaziņoja that we were going to flylidot StephenStephen HawkingHokings.
25
65000
2000
Mēs paziņojām, ka ar mums lidos Stīvens Hokings.

Kāda no valdības aģentūrām un kādas aviokompānijas operators mums teica,
01:23
you're crazytraks, don't do that, you're going killnogalināt the guy.
27
71000
2000
ka mēs esam traki, lai nedarām to, jo tas var viņu nogalināt.
01:25
(LaughterSmiekli)
28
73000
1000
(Smiekli)
01:26
And he wanted to go.
29
74000
2000
Viņš gribēja doties.
01:28
We workedstrādāja hardgrūti to get all the permissionsatļaujas.
30
76000
3000
Mēs ilgi pūlējāmies, lai iegūtu visas atļaujas.
01:31
And sixseši monthsmēneši latervēlāk, we satsēdēja down at KennedyKennedy SpaceTelpa CenterCentrs.
31
79000
3000
Pēc sešiem mēnešiem mēs sapulcējāmies Kenedija Kosmosa centrā.
01:34
We had a pressnospiediet conferencekonference,
32
82000
2000
Mēs sasaucām preses konferenci,
01:36
we announcedpaziņoja our intentnolūks to do one zero-gnulle-g parabolaparabola,
33
84000
4000
kur paziņojām, ka esam iecerējuši veikt vienu bezsvara parabolas veida lidojumu,
01:40
give him 25 secondssekundes of zero-gnulle-g.
34
88000
3000
sniedzot viņam 25 sekudžu ilgu bezsvara stāvokli.
01:43
And if it wentdevās really well, we mightvarētu do threetrīs parabolasparabolas.
35

3000
Ja viss ietu patiešām gludi,
varbūt veikt maksimums trīs šādus lidojumus.
01:46
Well, we askedprasīja him why he wanted to go up and do this.
36
94000
5000
Mēs viņam prasījām, kāpēc tieši viņš gribēja to darīt.
01:51
And what he said, for me, was very movingpārvietojas.
37
99000
2000
Tas, ko viņš teica, man šķita ļoti aizkustinoši.
01:53
He said, "Life on EarthZemes is at an ever-increasingarvien pieaug riskrisks
38

02:46

Mēs ar partneri Bairons Lihtenbergu
02:49

56

3000
uzmanīgi viņu pacēlām bezsvarā.
02:52
OnceVienu reizi he was there, [we] let him go
57
160000
2000
Viņam paceļoties gaisā, mēs viņu atlaidām,
02:54
to experiencepieredze what weightlessnessbezsvara was trulypatiesi like.
58
162000
4000
lai viņš sajustu, kāds ir īsts bezsvars.
02:58
And after that first parabolaparabola, you know,
59
166000
4000
un, ziniet, pēc pirmā parabolas lidojuma
03:02
the docIOO said everything is great. He was smilingsmaidot, and we said go.
60
170000
4000
ārsts teica, ka viss ir kārtībā, viņš pats smaidīja un mēs teicām „aiziet”.
03:06
So we did a secondotrais parabolaparabola.
61
174000
3000
Tā nu mēs veicām otro lidojumu pa parabolu.
