3000
Oni među vama koji me znaju, znaju koliko sam
00:15
about opening the space frontier.
1
3000
2000
strastven u vezi otvaranja svemirske granice.
00:17
So when I had the chance to give the world's expert in gravity
2
5000
4000
I zato, kada sam dobio priliku svjetskom stručnjaku za gravitaciju
00:21
the experience of zero gravity, it was incredible.
3
9000
3000
pružiti iskustvo nulte gravitacije, bilo je to nevjerojatno.
00:24
And I want to tell you that story.
4
12000
2000
I to je priča koju vam želim ispričati.
00:26
I first met him through the Archon X PRIZE for Genomics.
5
14000
4000
Prvi puta sam ga upoznao na dodjeli nagrade Archon X za genomiku.
00:31
It's a competition we're holding, the second X PRIZE,
6
19000
3000
To je natječaj kojega organiziramo, druga X nagrada,
00:34
for the first team to sequence 100 human genomes in 10 days.
7
22000
3000
za prvi tim koji sekvencira 100 ljudskih genoma u 10 dana.
00:37
We have something called the Genome 100 --
8
25000
2000
Imamo nešto što zovemo Genome 100,
00:39
100 individuals we're sequencing as part of that.
9
27000
3000
100 pojedinaca koje sekvenciramo u sklopu toga.
00:42
Craig Venter chairs that event.
10
30000
2000
Craig Venter je predsjedavajući tog projekta.
00:44
And I met Professor Hawking,
11
32000
2000
I upoznao sam profesora Hawkinga,
00:46
and he said his dream was to travel into space.
12
34000
2000
koji mi je rekao kako mu je san oputovati u svemir.
00:48
And I said, "I can't take you there,
13
36000
2000
Rekao sam, ne mogu vas odvesti tamo,
00:50
but I can take you into weightlessness into zero-g.
14
38000
3000
ali vas mogu povesti u bestežinsko stanje nulte gravitacije.
00:53
And he said, on the spot, "Absolutely, yes."
15
41000
2000
I on je na licu mjesta odgovorio, apsolutno da.
00:55
Well, the only way to experience zero-g on Earth
16
43000
3000
No, jedini način da iskusite nultu gravitaciju na Zemlji
00:58
is actually with parabolic flight, weightless flight.
17
46000
3000
je tijekom paraboličnog leta, bestežinskog leta.
01:01
You take an airplane, you fly over the top, you're weightless for 25 seconds.
18
49000
4000
Poletite zrakoplovom, letite preko vrhunca, i nemate težinu 25 sekundi,
01:05
Come back down, you weigh twice as much.
19
53000
2000
spustite se natrag i sada ste dvostruko teži.
01:07
You do it again and again.
20
55000
2000
I ponavljate to iznova i iznova.
01:09
You can get eight, 10 minutes of weightlessness --
21
57000
1000
Možete dobiti osam, deset minuta bestežinskog stanja --
01:10
how NASA's trained their astronauts for so long.
22
58000
3000
tako NASA već dugo trenira svoje astronaute.
01:13
We set out to do this.
23
61000
2000
Odlučili smo to učiniti.
01:15
It took us 11 years to become operational.
24
63000
2000
Trebalo nam je 11 godina da to operacionaliziramo.
01:17
And we announced that we were going to fly Stephen Hawking.
25
65000
2000
I objavili smo da ćemo letjeti sa Stephenom Hawkingom.
01:19
We had one government agency and one company aircraft operator say,
26
67000
4000
Jedna vladina agencija i jedan operater zrakoplovne kompanije rekli su nam,
01:23
you're crazy, don't do that, you're going kill the guy.
27
71000
2000
ludi ste, nemojte to raditi, ubit ćete čovjeka.
01:25
(Laughter)
28
73000
1000
(Smijeh)
01:26
And he wanted to go.
29
74000
2000
A on je želio ići.
01:28
We worked hard to get all the permissions.
30
76000
3000
Ozbiljno smo se naradili da isposlujemo sve dozvole.
01:31
And six months later, we sat down at Kennedy Space Center.
31
79000
3000
I šest mjeseci kasnije, sjeli smo u svemirskom centru Kennedy.
01:34
We had a press conference,
32
82000
2000
Održali smo tiskovnu konferenciju,
01:36
we announced our intent to do one zero-g parabola,
33
84000
4000
objavili svoju nakanu da izvedemo jednu nula G parabolu --
01:40
give him 25 seconds of zero-g.
34
88000
3000
i pružimo mu 25 sekundi nulte gravitacije.
01:43
And if it went really well, we might do three parabolas.
35
91000
3000
A ako stvari budu išle stvarno dobro, možda ćemo izvesti tri parabole.
01:46
Well, we asked him why he wanted to go up and do this.
36
94000
5000
Pitali smo ga zašto želi poletjeti i uraditi ovo.
01:51
And what he said, for me, was very moving.
37
99000
2000
Ono što je rekao, za mene je bilo vrlo dirljivo.
01:53
He said, "Life on Earth is at an ever-increasing risk
38
101000
2000
Rekao je, „Rizik da će život na Zemlji biti izbrisan
01:55
of being wiped out by disaster ...
39
103000
2000
nekom katastrofom sve je veći i veći...
01:57
I think the human race doesn't have a future if it doesn't go into space.
40
105000
3000
Mislim da ljudska vrsta nema budućnost ako ne krene u svemir.
02:00
I therefore want to encourage public interest in space."
41
108000
3000
Zato želim ohrabriti interes javnosti za svemir."
02:04
We took him out to the Kennedy Space Center,
42
112000
3000
Odveli smo ga u svemirski centar Kennedy,
02:07
up inside the NASA vehicle, into the back of the zero-g airplane.
43
115000
6000
u NASA-ino vozilo, u stražnji dio zrakoplova za nultu gravitaciju.
02:16
We had about 20 people who made donations --
44
124000
3000
Nekih dvadeset ljudi je doniralo --
02:19
we raised $150,000 in donations for children's charities --
45
127000
3000
skupili smo 150.000 humanitarnih donacija za djecu --
02:22
who flew with us.
46
130000
2000
i oni su letjeli s nama.
02:24
A few TEDsters here.
47
132000
2000
I nekoliko TED-ovaca koji su ovdje.
02:26
We set up a whole ER.
48
134000
2000
Postavili smo i hitnu službu.
02:28
We had four emergency room doctors and two nurses on board the airplane.
49
136000
3000
U zrakoplovu smo imali četiri liječnika hitne službe i dvije medicinske sestre.
02:31
We were monitoring his PO2 of his blood, his heart rate, his blood pressure.
50
139000
4000
Mjerili smo PO2 u njegovoj krvi, otkucaje srca, krvni tlak.
02:35
We had everything all set in case of an emergency;
51
143000
3000
Sve smo organizirali za hitan slučaj --
02:38
God knows, you don't want to hurt this world-renowned expert.
52
146000
3000
Ne želite, zaboga, naškoditi ovom svjetski poznatom stručnjaku.
02:41
We took off from the shuttle landing facility,
53
149000
3000
Uzletjeli smo s uzletišta,
02:44
where the shuttle takes off and lands.
54
152000
2000
gdje šatlovi uzlijeću i slijeću.
02:46
And my partner Byron Lichtenberg and I
55
154000
3000
Moj ortak – Byron Lichtenberg – i ja
02:49
carefully suspended him into zero-g.
56
157000
3000
pažljivo smo ga podigli u nultoj gravitaciji.
02:52
Once he was there, [we] let him go
57
160000
2000
Zatim smo ga pustili
02:54
to experience what weightlessness was truly like.
58
162000
4000
da iskusi kako to doista izgleda biti bez težine.
02:58
And after that first parabola, you know,
59
166000
4000
Nakon te prve parabole, znate,
03:02
the doc said everything is great. He was smiling, and we said go.
60
170000
4000
doktor je rekao da je sve odlično, on se smijao, i rekli smo može.
03:06
So we did a second parabola.
61
174000
3000
Pa smo izveli i drugu parabolu.
03:09
(Laughter)
62
177000
2000
(Smijeh)
03:11
(Applause)
63
179000
6000
(Pljesak)
03:17
And a third.
64
185000
2000
I treću.
03:19
(Applause)
65
187000
1000
(Pljesak)
03:20
We actually floated an apple in homage to Sir Isaac Newton
66
188000
4000
Pa smo i jabuku pustili lebdjeti u počast Sir Isaacu Newtonu
03:24
because Professor Hawking holds the same chair at Cambridge
67
192000
3000
jer profesor Hawking drži istu katedru na Cambridgeu
03:27
that Isaac Newton did.
68
195000
2000
koju je držao i Isaac Newton.
03:29
And we did a fourth, and a fifth and a sixth.
69
197000
4000
Pa smo izveli četvrtu, i petu, i šestu.
03:33
(Laughter)
70
201000
1000
(Smijeh)
03:34
And a seventh and an eighth.
71
202000
2000
I sedmu i osmu.
03:36
And this man does not look like a 65-year-old wheelchair-bound man.
72
204000
3000
A ovaj čovjek ne izgleda poput šezdesetpetogodišnjeg čovjeka u kolicima.
03:39
(Laughter)
73
207000
1000
(Smijeh)
03:40
He was so happy.
74
208000
2000
Bio je presretan.
03:42
We are living on a precious jewel,
75
210000
3000
Svi živimo na vrijednom dragulju,
03:45
and it's during our lifetime that we're moving off this planet.
76
213000
3000
i dogodit će se za našeg života da ćemo se početi seliti s ovog planeta.
03:48
Please join us in this epic adventure.
77
216000
2000
Molim vas da nam se pridružite u ovoj epskoj pustolovini.
03:50
Thank you so much.
78
218000
1000
Hvala vam lijepa.
03:51
(Applause)
79
219000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Peter Diamandis - Space activistPeter Diamandis runs the X Prize Foundation, which offers large cash incentive prizes to inventors who can solve grand challenges like space flight, low-cost mobile medical diagnostics and oil spill cleanup. He is the chair of Singularity University, which teaches executives and grad students about exponentially growing technologies.
Why you should listen
Watch the live onstage debate with Paul Gilding that followed Peter Diamandis' 2012 TEDTalk >>
Peter Diamandis is the founder and chair of the X Prize Foundation, a nonprofit whose mission is simply "to bring about radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity." By offering a big cash prize for a specific accomplishment, the X Prize stimulates competition and excitement around some of the planet's most important goals. Diamandis is also co-founder and chairman of Singularity University which runs Exponential Technologies Executive and Graduate Student Programs.
Diamandis' background is in space exploration -- before the X Prize, he ran a company that studied low-cost launching technologies and Zero-G which offers the public the chance to train like an astronaut and experience weightlessness. But though the X Prize's first $10 million went to a space-themed challenge, Diamandis' goal now is to extend the prize into health care, social policy, education and many other fields that could use a dose of competitive innovation.
