1
00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:02,840
- We're all huge geeks about space.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:03,900
We're always thinking about it.

3
00:00:03,900 --> 00:00:05,360
We're always talking about it.

4
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,730
Even on the flight in,
there's on the backs

5
00:00:07,730 --> 00:00:09,850
of the seat rests, it'll
show a picture of where

6
00:00:09,850 --> 00:00:12,720
your plane is and what its flight path is,

7
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,170
and we noticed really quickly
that the app was wrong,

8
00:00:15,170 --> 00:00:17,540
that it was doing longitude
wrong, and it was reversing

9
00:00:17,540 --> 00:00:19,690
the courses, and also
talk about how we could

10
00:00:19,690 --> 00:00:22,720
fix the code when we get
there, and it's fascinating

11
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,610
to work with people that are so smart.

12
00:00:24,610 --> 00:00:26,440
We're here in Germany
with a team from Air Force

13
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,293
Space Command to teach
space courses with NATO.

14
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,010
- We are the same,
everywhere you go you find

15
00:00:33,010 --> 00:00:35,610
the same people, and
space people are a little

16
00:00:35,610 --> 00:00:37,690
bit nerdy everywhere, I guess,

17
00:00:37,690 --> 00:00:38,840
(laughing)

18
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,550
because wherever you go,
you find the same geeks

19
00:00:41,550 --> 00:00:43,840
and you find the same
type of personalities.

20
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,006
So, we get along very well.

21
00:00:46,006 --> 00:00:47,970
(gentle music)

22
00:00:47,970 --> 00:00:49,960
- The war pattern needs information.

23
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,923
A lot of that information
today is coming from space.

24
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:56,060
The team is teaching
everything about space

25
00:00:56,060 --> 00:00:58,970
at a very basic level,
from the space environment

26
00:00:58,970 --> 00:01:00,910
all the way up to orbital mechanics.

27
00:01:00,910 --> 00:01:02,510
- If we weren't able to use space at all,

28
00:01:02,510 --> 00:01:06,320
we'd probably have to go back
to kind-of a World War II

29
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:08,810
era, as far as how the military operates.

30
00:01:08,810 --> 00:01:11,640
Rather than being able to
send one high-precision

31
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,060
weapon at one very specific
target, back in World War II,

32
00:01:15,060 --> 00:01:18,220
we were sending thousands
of bombers at the different

33
00:01:18,220 --> 00:01:20,180
sides of each other,
and those were dropping

34
00:01:20,180 --> 00:01:22,310
thousands and thousands of
bombs and just decimating

35
00:01:22,310 --> 00:01:25,230
entire cities to go after one factory.

36
00:01:25,230 --> 00:01:28,530
- We were able to visit
Dachau, which was the first

37
00:01:28,530 --> 00:01:32,440
concentration camp documented
in the World War II era.

38
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,300
They would put the prisoners
in decisions where they

39
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:39,680
wouldn't win, so they
would take their hats,

40
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,220
they had to have a hat at all times,

41
00:01:41,220 --> 00:01:43,350
they would take their hat
and throw it into the grass.

42
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:45,620
Well, it was against the
rule to either be without

43
00:01:45,620 --> 00:01:50,080
a hat or to walk on the
grass, so they would have

44
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,260
to go retrieve the hat, and at that point,

45
00:01:52,260 --> 00:01:54,932
they would open fire and be killed.

46
00:01:54,932 --> 00:01:57,682
(dramatic music)

47
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,040
10 years after Americans liberated Dachau

48
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,210
and all the hundreds of
thousands of prisoners,

49
00:02:07,210 --> 00:02:10,630
Germany became a part
of NATO, collaborating

50
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:13,253
and teaching all the students about space.

51
00:02:15,256 --> 00:02:18,080
(dramatic music)

52
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,780
- A really good example of how we use

53
00:02:19,780 --> 00:02:22,105
space was last night, we're lost.

54
00:02:22,105 --> 00:02:23,900
(German music)

55
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:26,430
- We got lost the other
night and we experienced

56
00:02:26,430 --> 00:02:28,830
what it would be like
to be without our GPSs

57
00:02:28,830 --> 00:02:31,010
that we've become so
dependent upon, so we were

58
00:02:31,010 --> 00:02:35,800
back to maps, street names,
asking people on the sidewalk.

59
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,450
We showed up late to
our dinner appointment.

60
00:02:37,450 --> 00:02:38,910
Yes, it was all my fault.

61
00:02:38,910 --> 00:02:41,463
But once we got in the
restaurant, I knew where to go.

62
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:45,811
It makes you realize that
space can be taken for granted.

63
00:02:45,811 --> 00:02:48,394
(German music)

64
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:53,870
- All the different instructors
that are coming together

65
00:02:53,870 --> 00:02:57,317
from all of the world to teach
this course together saying,

66
00:02:57,317 --> 00:03:00,167
"This is how France uses
space, this is how the European

67
00:03:00,167 --> 00:03:04,090
"Space Agency uses space, this
is how Germany uses space."

68
00:03:04,090 --> 00:03:06,300
And we all look at it a
little bit differently,

69
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:08,820
and to really understand
how everybody's thinking

70
00:03:08,820 --> 00:03:10,810
about it, how everybody's working with it,

71
00:03:10,810 --> 00:03:12,710
will allow us to work together better.

72
00:03:15,368 --> 00:03:18,618
(upbeat new age music)
