3000
Tie, kurie mane pažįsta, žino, koks aš užsidegęs
00:15
about opening the space frontier.
1
3000
2000
atverti duris į kosmosą.
00:17
So when I had the chance to give the world's expert in gravity
2
5000
4000
Tad kai turėjau galimybę pasaulinio lygio gravitacijos žinovui
00:21
the experience of zero gravity, it was incredible.
3
9000
3000
padėti patirti nesvarumo būseną, tai buvo ypatinga.
00:24
And I want to tell you that story.
4
12000
2000
Aš noriu Jums papasakoti šią istoriją.
00:26
I first met him through the Archon X PRIZE for Genomics.
5
14000
4000
Pirmąkart jį sutikau genomikos mokslui skirtame „Archon X PRIZE” renginyje.
00:31
It's a competition we're holding, the second X PRIZE,
6
19000
3000
Tai mūsų rengiamos varžybos, antras „X PRIZE” apdovanojimas,
00:34
for the first team to sequence 100 human genomes in 10 days.
7
22000
3000
skirtas komandai, pirmai nustačiusiai 100 žmogaus genomo sekų per 10 d.
00:37
We have something called the Genome 100 --
8
25000
2000
Užduotį pavadinome „Genomas 100”;
00:39
100 individuals we're sequencing as part of that.
9
27000
3000
tyrėme 100 žmonių genomus.
00:42
Craig Venter chairs that event.
10
30000
2000
Craig'as Venter'is pirmininkauja šiam projektui.
00:44
And I met Professor Hawking,
11
32000
2000
Taigi aš sutikau profesorių Hawking'ą,
00:46
and he said his dream was to travel into space.
12
34000
2000
ir jis man pasakė, jog jo svajonė yra nukeliauti į kosmosą.
00:48
And I said, "I can't take you there,
13
36000
2000
Aš pasakiau jam: „Aš negaliu tavęs ten nusiųsti,
00:50
but I can take you into weightlessness into zero-g.
14
38000
3000
bet galiu sudaryti nesvarumo sąlygas.”
00:53
And he said, on the spot, "Absolutely, yes."
15
41000
2000
Jis iškart atsakė „visiškai sutinku”.
00:55
Well, the only way to experience zero-g on Earth
16
43000
3000
Ką gi, vienintelis būdas patirti gravitacijos nebuvimą Žemėje
00:58
is actually with parabolic flight, weightless flight.
17
46000
3000
yra parabolės pavidalo skrydis.
01:01
You take an airplane, you fly over the top, you're weightless for 25 seconds.
18
49000
4000
Su lėktuvu skrendate iki aukščiausio taško, pasiekiate jį ir tampate besvoris 25-ioms sekundėms.
01:05
Come back down, you weigh twice as much.
19
53000
2000
Skrendant atgal žemyn sveriate dvigubai daugiau nei paprastai.
01:07
You do it again and again.
20
55000
2000
Jūs galite tą kartoti ir kartoti.
01:09
You can get eight, 10 minutes of weightlessness --
21
57000
1000
Galite pasiekti 8-10 min. nesvarumo.
01:10
how NASA's trained their astronauts for so long.
22
58000
3000
Taip NASA ilgą laiką treniravo savo astronautus.
01:13
We set out to do this.
23
61000
2000
Mes pradėjome ruoštis tai įgyvendinti.
01:15
It took us 11 years to become operational.
24
63000
2000
Pasiruošimas užtruko 11 metų.
01:17
And we announced that we were going to fly Stephen Hawking.
25
65000
2000
Mes paskelbėme, kad skraidinsime Stephen'ą Hawking'ą.
01:19
We had one government agency and one company aircraft operator say,
26
67000
4000
Vyriausybės atstovybė ir vienos lėktuvų kompanijos operatorius
01:23
you're crazy, don't do that, you're going kill the guy.
27
71000
2000
sakė mums, jog esame bepročiai, mums nederėtų to daryti, kad mes nužudysim tą žmogų!
01:25
(Laughter)
28
73000
1000
(Juokas)
01:26
And he wanted to go.
29
74000
2000
Bet jis to norėjo.
01:28
We worked hard to get all the permissions.
30
76000
3000
Mes sunkiai dirbome, kad gautume tam visus leidimus.
01:31
And six months later, we sat down at Kennedy Space Center.
31
79000
3000
Ir po 6 mėn. mes jau sėdėjome Kenedžio kosmoso centre.
01:34
We had a press conference,
32
82000
2000
Dalyvavome spaudos konferencijoje,
01:36
we announced our intent to do one zero-g parabola,
33
84000
4000
pranešėme, kad ketiname padaryti vieną parabolės formos skrydį,
01:40
give him 25 seconds of zero-g.
34
88000
3000
leisti jam patirti 25-ias sekundes nesvarumo.
01:43
And if it went really well, we might do three parabolas.
35
91000
3000
Ir jeigu mums tikrai gerai sektųsi, galėtume tai padaryti tris kartus.
01:46
Well, we asked him why he wanted to go up and do this.
36
94000
5000
Mes jo paklausėme, kodėl jis to nori.
01:51
And what he said, for me, was very moving.
37
99000
2000
Ir tai, ką jis pasakė, mane labai sujaudino.
01:53
He said, "Life on Earth is at an ever-increasing risk
38
101000
2000
Jis pasakė: „Gyvybė Žemėje yra vis didėjančiame pavojuje
01:55
of being wiped out by disaster ...
39
103000
2000
dėl galimybės būti sunaikinta stichinės katastrofos...
01:57
I think the human race doesn't have a future if it doesn't go into space.
40
105000
3000
Aš manau, jog žmonija neturi ateities, jeigu ji nesikels į kosmosą.
02:00
I therefore want to encourage public interest in space."
41
108000
3000
Todėl noriu paskatinti visuomenės susidomėjimą kosmosu.”
02:04
We took him out to the Kennedy Space Center,
42
112000
3000
Mes išvežėme jį iš Kenedžio kosmoso centro
02:07
up inside the NASA vehicle, into the back of the zero-g airplane.
43
115000
6000
tiesiai į NASA'os lėktuvo galinę dalį.
02:16
We had about 20 people who made donations --
44
124000
3000
Maždaug 20 žmonių, kurie
02:19
we raised $150,000 in donations for children's charities --
45
127000
3000
paaukojo 150'000 dolerių vaikų labdarai,
02:22
who flew with us.
46
130000
2000
skrido su mumis.
02:24
A few TEDsters here.
47
132000
2000
Štai keletas TED žmonių.
02:26
We set up a whole ER.
48
134000
2000
Mes įrengėme greitosios pagalbos kambarį.
02:28
We had four emergency room doctors and two nurses on board the airplane.
49
136000
3000
Turėjome keturis daktarus ir dvi med. seseles.
02:31
We were monitoring his PO2 of his blood, his heart rate, his blood pressure.
50
139000
4000
Mes tikrinome jo kraujo dalinį deguonies slėgį, širdies ritmą, kraujo spaudimą.
02:35
We had everything all set in case of an emergency;
51
143000
3000
Buvome visiškai pasiruošę blogiausiam atvejui;
02:38
God knows, you don't want to hurt this world-renowned expert.
52
146000
3000
Dievas žino, nenorėjome pakenkti šiam visam pasauly žinomam mokslininkui.
02:41
We took off from the shuttle landing facility,
53
149000
3000
Mes pakilome iš paleidimo aikštelės,
02:44
where the shuttle takes off and lands.
54
152000
2000
kur Shuttle'as (daugkartinis kosminis skraidymo aparatas) kyla ir leidžiasi.
02:46
And my partner Byron Lichtenberg and I
55
154000
3000
Mano partneris Byron'as Lychtenberg'as ir aš
02:49
carefully suspended him into zero-g.
56
157000
3000
atsargiai jį prilaikėme.
02:52
Once he was there, [we] let him go
57
160000
2000
Tada leidome jam
02:54
to experience what weightlessness was truly like.
58
162000
4000
patirti, kas iš tikrųjų yra nesvarumo būsena.
02:58
And after that first parabola, you know,
59
166000
4000
Žinot, po pirmos „parabolės”
03:02
the doc said everything is great. He was smiling, and we said go.
60
170000
4000
daktaras patikino, jog viskas puiku. Jis šypsojosi ir mes ištarėm „pirmyn”.
03:06
So we did a second parabola.
61
174000
3000
Taigi skridome antrą „parabolę”.
03:09
(Laughter)
62
177000
2000
(Juokas)
03:11
(Applause)
63
179000
6000
(Plojimai)
03:17
And a third.
64
185000
2000
Ir trečią.
03:19
(Applause)
65
187000
1000
(Plojimai)
03:20
We actually floated an apple in homage to Sir Isaac Newton
66
188000
4000
Tiesą sakant, mes paleidome skrajoti obuolį sero Izaoko Niutono garbei,
03:24
because Professor Hawking holds the same chair at Cambridge
67
192000
3000
kadangi profesorius Hawking'as užima tas pačias pareigas Kembridžo universitete
03:27
that Isaac Newton did.
68
195000
2000
kaip kažkada Izaokas Niutonas.
03:29
And we did a fourth, and a fifth and a sixth.
69
197000
4000
Kartojome tai ir 4-tą, ir 5-tą, ir 6-tą kartą.
03:33
(Laughter)
70
201000
1000
(Juokas)
03:34
And a seventh and an eighth.
71
202000
2000
Ir 7-tą, ir 8-tą.
03:36
And this man does not look like a 65-year-old wheelchair-bound man.
72
204000
3000
Ir šis žmogus neatrodo kaip iš negalios vežimėlio nepakylantis 65-metis!
03:39
(Laughter)
73
207000
1000
(Juokas)
03:40
He was so happy.
74
208000
2000
Jis buvo toks laimingas.
03:42
We are living on a precious jewel,
75
210000
3000
Mes gyvename ant vertingo brangakmenio
03:45
and it's during our lifetime that we're moving off this planet.
76
213000
3000
ir atsiplėšti nuo jo dar gali mūsų karta.
03:48
Please join us in this epic adventure.
77
216000
2000
Prisijunkite prie šio įspūdingo nuotykio!
03:50
Thank you so much.
78
218000
1000
Labai Jums ačiū.
03:51
(Applause)

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.
