Jill Biden

00:00:33 - 00:00:34 ()

Good morning. How are you?

Michelle Taylor

00:00:34 - 00:00:47 ()

So, our sixth-grade engineers, in our design process, we've been talking about the moon phases, Dr. Biden and President Biden, and how the moon has different phases. Class, what is the moon phase that we have for today?

Unidentified

00:00:47 - 00:00:48 ()

We -- crescent moon.

Michelle Taylor

00:00:48 - 00:00:52 ()

A crescent moon, a crescent moon. What moon do we have that's going to be coming up on Sunday?

Crescent moon, first quarter.

Unidentified

00:00:55 - 00:00:55 ()

Michelle Taylor

00:00:55 - 00:01:01 ()

Good. So, in talking about the moon, if to capitalize on our curriculum, we decided to build a space launcher.

Joe Biden

00:01:01 - 00:01:01 ()

Michelle Taylor

00:01:01 - 00:01:06 ()

And a space launcher that they have [Inaudible] will represent our astronauts.

Jill Biden

00:01:06 - 00:01:07 ()

Michelle Taylor

00:01:07 - 00:01:20 ()

And they have to design a space object to safely land the rocket onto the moon. So, they've got an awesome job designing during this particular lesson, and they would love to share some of their designs with you.

Joe Biden

00:01:20 - 00:01:22 ()

That'd be great.

Jill Biden

00:01:22 - 00:01:22 ()

Michelle Taylor

00:01:22 - 00:01:24 ()

Can we say, "Welcome to our school?"

Unidentified

00:01:24 - 00:01:24 ()

Jill Biden

00:01:24 - 00:01:25 ()

Yeah. [Camera Break]

Joe Biden

00:01:25 - 00:01:28 ()

Sorry, man. You're both going to the moon separately? What's your deal here?

Unidentified

00:01:28 - 00:01:30 ()

So [Inaudible] this is the -- is like the moon.

Joe Biden

00:01:30 - 00:01:31 ()

Unidentified

00:01:31 - 00:01:36 ()

And these two are like [Inaudible] coordinates. They slow it down [Inaudible]

Joe Biden

00:01:36 - 00:01:39 ()

It's pretty cool. It's pretty cool.

Unidentified

00:01:39 - 00:01:41 ()

Joe Biden

00:01:41 - 00:01:48 ()

I tell you, that looks like a real astronaut right there [Inaudible]

Jill Biden

00:01:48 - 00:01:51 ()

We're going to have some great challenges [Inaudible]

Joe Biden

00:01:51 - 00:01:59 ()

You're going to hear your guys, the whole deal.

Jill Biden

00:01:59 - 00:02:00 ()

Joe Biden

00:02:00 - 00:02:01 ()

Is it fun doing this?

Unidentified

00:02:01 - 00:02:01 ()

Joe Biden

00:02:01 - 00:02:12 ()

It's pretty cool, man. [Camera Break] Can I ask everybody a question? Jilly?

Jill Biden

00:02:12 - 00:02:13 ()

Joe Biden

00:02:13 - 00:02:28 ()

[Audio gap] question. How many of you, if you had a chance, would want to get in a spacecraft and go to the moon? All right.

Michelle Taylor

00:02:28 - 00:02:28 ()

Joe Biden

00:02:28 - 00:02:33 ()

You're going to be what? You design it. I'm just curious.

Jill Biden

00:02:33 - 00:02:34 ()

Joe Biden

00:02:34 - 00:02:53 ()

And one last question. How many do you think we're finally going to, and by the time you're in high school, get to Mars and put people? All right, man. It's a pretty cool class, isn't it?
