16
Welcome to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, where we are T-24 hours away from the launch of the Atlas V rocket.
17
Standing 205 feet tall and delivering 2.7 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, it will soon tear through Earth's atmosphere on a mission to low Earth orbit.
18
But the story we are here to tell goes a lot deeper than just this.
19
You see, behind the scenes of every launch is a team of Guardians who serve in the newest branch of the United States military.
20
You might not notice them at first, but get close enough and you'll see the space blue stitching on their uniform, or the delta patch on their sleeve.
21
These men and women help defend nearly every aspect of our modern way of life, and a rocket like this doesn't leave the ground without them.
22
Now it's one thing to watch a launch from a distance, but it's another to see what goes on behind the scenes.
23
Well get ready, because today I'm taking you inside the United States Space Force
24
to see the role these Guardians play in making this mission possible.
25
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is the starting point to get to order.
26
It is the world's premier gateway to space.
27
Feel the rumble in the air, you get the shudder from the wind.
28
It reinforces that what you're doing has a reason.
29
MISCO, Operation Rest.
30
FACY 63, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4.
31
The role of the United States Space Force is to protect the world's largest war fighting domain.
32
Mars, mode 1, Charlie.
33
One of the things I think most Americans don't realize is just how instrumental space is to their everyway day of life.
34
Whether you're taking money out of an ATM, to having meals delivered to your home, to having a conversation with somebody across the world,
35
none of that is possible without the capabilities that space brings.
36
The United States Space Force was founded in 2019.
37
It is the newest branch of the military since the Air Force was founded in 1947.
38
It's less than 1% of all the military's forces combined.
39
The Space Force oversees the majority of the Department of Defense satellites that get launched into orbit.
40
We do that through two of our launch ranges, one at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, and the other here at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
41
Now you might be surprised to hear that the United States conducts military operations in space, but that's been going on for years.
42
These aren't battles like Star Trek or Star Wars, but instead involve the launching, controlling, and protection of high-value satellite assets, which as you just heard,
43
are responsible for just about everything we do on a day-to-day basis here on Earth.
44
It's up to the 15,000 Guardians, the men and women of the United States Space Force, to protect and defend that vital capability.
45
Right now I'm inside the Morrell Operations Center, which is the command and control hub for the Eastern Range,
46
the roughly 15 million square mile stretch of ocean and airspace used for launches off of Florida's Space Coast.
47
Now this room in particular is the Mission Control Room, or MCR, which is the specialized space dedicated to monitoring each launch.
48
In just a few hours, it's going to look a lot different.
49
Staff with dozens of guardians, who act as range operations officers, engineers, weather, surveillance, even cyber,
50
everyone working together to make sure the range is secure.
51
Or as they call it, greened up and ready for launch.
52
For more than 75 years, Cape Canaveral has been the launch point for nearly every major US space mission.
53
It was here that Alan Shepard became the first American in space aboard a Mercury spacecraft.
54
From there, the Gemini missions rehearsed spacewalks, Apollo launched astronauts to the moon, and the space shuttle lifted off from nearby Kennedy Space Center for over 30 years.
55
And today, rockets from Florida's space coast continue to carry national security payloads, commercial satellites in deep space probes.
56
The legacy lives on as the U.S.
57
Space Force now leads launch operations from the same ground that shaped the story of American spaceflight.
58
Now it's important to note that the Space Force doesn't actually build or launch their own rockets.
59
That's not their role.
60
Instead, they focus on overseeing, enabling, and protecting access to space, while the actual manufacturing of the rockets is left to commercial launch providers.
61
like SpaceX, Blue Origin, or in the case of Atlas V, United Launch Alliance.
62
It's similar to how the United States Air Force doesn't build their own fighter jets.
63
Companies like Boeing or Lockheed Martin do.
64
The military helps support and operate those systems, but relies on private industry to create the technology.
65
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is the starting point to get to orbit.
66
It is the world's premier gateway to space.
67
It not only helps us deliver national security space assets onto orbit,
68
but it also helps us with our commercial customers and providers providing critical capabilities for the nation and the world.
69
A guardian is to the Space Force as a soldier is to Army, a sailor is to the Navy, an airman is to the Air Force.
70
Space is absolutely critical to national defense, and the criticality has only increased over time.
71
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is part of Space Launch Delta 45.
72
Together we form the Eastern Range.
73
The Eastern Range has an area of responsibility extending over 15 million miles.
74
This covers the land and air and sea over the Atlantic
75
that allows us to give clear passage for our assets to get on orbit.
76
It's verified, sir.
77
Thank you.
78
Now, I think a lot of people just truly don't understand that the Space Force is actually involved in launches like this.
79
And it's true, right, that no matter what the launch is, no matter what the payload is, there are guardians involved behind the scenes to make sure it gets up to orbit safely.
80
Is that true?
81
That is 100% true.
82
So when it comes to the guardian presence that we have for every single space launch that we do, Mission Flight Control Officer, the person with the big red button, I like to call it the big red button,
83
but it's more complicated than that.
84
We're here to launch National Security Space Launch commercial, but we're mostly here for public safety.
85
We want to make sure that the entire surrounding cities here are safe in case something does go wrong.
86
And we're here to support both the public and national security when it comes to launches like this.
87
So a lot of people might think, hey, wait a second, the government already has a space agency, NASA, right?
88
What would you say is the difference between NASA and the Space Force?
89
How I'd like to characterize is Space Force is inherently DOD, Department of Defense Military.
90
While NASA is our more civil aspiration, so imagine space exploration.
91
A good example of what we just previously launched was Europa Clipper, that's on its way to Europa to try and discover life there.
92
While military is mostly focused on national defense, national security, so missile warning GPS etc but
93
that doesn't change how the Space Force supports launches
94
when it comes to NASA or DoD commercial doesn't matter
95
if it launches here from Eastern range Space Force will support
96
it 100% of the way all right I'm back here in the mission control room
97
and as you can see things are starting to fill up in fact
98
if you look up on that screen right there we are T minus one hour until launch.
99
And this is right about the time when things start to feel real.
100
Every single person in this room has a specific job that's critical to ensuring Atlas V makes it off the ground.
101
But there's one individual in particular that's in charge of overseeing this entire room and ensuring that the launch operations run smoothly.
102
And that responsibility lies with none other than the range operations commander.
103
RC, this is a rock with an instrumentation outage to report when you're ready to copy.
104
A good way to look at it is a quarterback for the range team.
105
I want those questions answered.
106
What we do is we give the final go-no-go for the range.
107
This is back up and running.
108
Range status is proceeding.
109
Our job is ultimately public safety, ensuring that those rockets are going where they're supposed to,
110
when they're supposed to, and not impacting anybody or anything that it should not.
111
One zero, colon, five four.
112
First off, one of the biggest factors here on the range is weather.
113
Simply put, if the weather's not looking good, chances are the rocket's not launching.
114
You guys are one of the biggest go-no-go factors, right?
115
Like, you guys can scrub a launch more than anyone else.
116
We have two radars that we actually use.
117
We actually work with the National Weather Service.
118
We have our own weather radar that's actually out in Titusville.
119
It's just west of us.
120
On a day where there's weather, we're constantly looking at each cloud that's close to the launch pad that can give us,
121
obviously, that lightning that we're hoping doesn't exist before launch.
122
The winds will be from the southeast around 12.
123
Next up is our surveillance team, tasked with ensuring our airspace and waterways are secure and clear.
124
In this room, we're basically in charge of monitoring sea traffic and air traffic as it applies to launch day.
125
And all these little text boxes, that's a ship or an aircraft?
126
Or what are we looking at?
127
So if you see these orange ones right here, this is actually Legacy of the Sea.
128
It's one of our cruise liners.
129
So the gray ones you're looking at right here, this is all aircraft.
130
The orange ones, these are ships.
131
You can't even make it out.
132
There's thousands.
133
Like how do you distinguish what you're looking at?
134
It takes a lot.
135
It takes a lot of coordination, communication.
136
We work with our airspace managers, our MRUs, our Coast Guard we sit with.
137
So they have vessels out there that can go chase down ships.
138
And lastly, a job not many people know exists, but is critical to ensuring safe launch operations is our cyber team.
139
Everything has ones and zeros.
140
Everything's interconnected.
141
And when it comes to space, everything that's in the air needs to be protected, and that's what we do.
142
So if cyber wasn't involved in a launch, a threat actor, whether nation state or anyone with malicious cyber intent, could get in, alter data, and that could be catastrophic,
143
it could be damaging to life and property, and that could affect the launch significantly.
144
If it's a crewed launch, even more dangerous.
145
LDA, this is a rock.
146
We are ready to proceed with the final clear to launch poll.
147
Our launch cadence here is just increasing exponentially.
148
Last year we launched 93.
149
The year before that it was in the 70s.
150
Prior to that was in the 50s.
151
The year before that was only 30 some.
152
This year we are on track to hit over 100 launches from this installation.
153
There's definitely a high amount of pressure.
154
Our training prepares us for this, and we're ready to just follow our procedures and make it happen.
155
We are now in the final stretch.
156
After months of preparation, everything comes down to this.
157
Team is assembled in every system, from the range security, to the weather, to the comms, to the surveillance, is being triple checked.
158
The launch window is extremely narrow, only 30 minutes, but they only need a few seconds to make that call.
159
So everyone here is locked in and ready for anything until that launch authorization is made.
160
Good morning and welcome to live coverage of ULA's Atlas V launch of the second batch of Project Kuiper satellites for Amazon.
161
Liftoff is scheduled for 6.54 30 a.m.
162
Eastern at the opening of today's 30-minute launch window.
163
So rocket launches might look pretty effortless on screen
164
but what you don't always see is the chaos that happens behind the scenes.
165
So depending on the rocket and what launch and payload it is we could be pre-mission planning for months on out.
166
In this case, we've been planning now for a couple months to launch, but scrubs happen and they can happen for many different reasons.
167
Space launch Delta 45 forecast for our early morning launch is looking good.
168
The probability of violating launch constraints is less than 5%.
169
Ground winds are 10 to 15 knots out of the east and the temperature is currently 78 degrees Fahrenheit.
170
All communications switch to channel 1.
171
All personnel and visitors remain in present position until launch maintain operational silence in the LCC.
172
I will tell you that the feedback loop that Launch Operations provides is like no other.
173
You can tangibly see everything you've been working towards launch into space.
174
Step 63 complete, 1034.
175
Copy 63 complete, 1034.
176
Oh, I'll look now, stand by.
177
Watch what we had a part of.
178
That's when you feel the rumble in the air, you get the shutter from the wind.
179
It reinforces that what you're doing has a reason.

The Our

motto in the United States Space Force is Semper Supra, always above, because we are always above.
197
We are here to protect the world and our nation and its allies.
198
If there's one thing I want to leave you with, it's this.
199
Space isn't some distant concept.
200
It isn't science fiction.
201
It's real.
202
It's strategic.
203
And it's critical to the way we live our lives every single day.
204
And the guardians of the United States Space Force, they're the ones ensuring we stay connected, protected, and always above.
205
At the end of the day, they're people just like you and me, who have stepped up to raise their right hand and serve our country in the nation's newest branch of service.
206
If you're interested in being a part of something bigger, you can head to SpaceForce.com to start your journey today.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
