Odrastao sam u Orlandu na Floridi.
00:16
I was the son of an aerospace engineer.

Sin sam aero-inženjera.
00:19
I lived and breathed the Apollo program.

2736
Proživeo sam svemirski program "Apolo".
00:22
We either saw the launches
from our backyard

Gledali smo lansiranja iz našeg dvorišta
00:24
or we saw it by driving
in the hour over to the Cape.

00:27
I was impressed by, obviously,
space and everything about it,
space and everything about it,

15840
2858
Bio sam, naravno, impresioniran svemirom,
00:30
but I was most impressed
by the engineering that went into it.

ali sam najviše bio impresioniran
tehnologijom.
tehnologijom.
00:34
Behind me you see an amazing view,
7
22720
2696
Iza mene vidite neverovatan pogled,
00:37
a picture that was taken
from the International Space Station,

sliku napravljenu sa
Međunarodne svemirske stanice,
Međunarodne svemirske stanice,
00:41
and it shows a portion of our planet
9

2176
koja prikazuje deo naše planete
00:43
that's rarely seen and rarely studied
10
31560
2416
koji se retko vidi i malo je izučavan
00:46
and almost never explored.
11
34000
2296
i skoro nikad istraživan.
00:48
That place is called the stratosphere.
12
36320
2536
To mesto se zove stratosfera.
00:50
If you start on the planet
and you go up and up and up,
and you go up and up and up,
13
38880
3136
Ako krenete sa planete i penjete se,
00:54
it gets colder and colder and colder,
14
42040
2576
postaje sve hladnije i hladnije,
00:56
until you reach the beginning
of the stratosphere,
of the stratosphere,
15
44640
2376
dok ne stignete do početka stratosfere,
00:59
and then an amazing thing happens.
16
47040
2616
a onda se dešava neverovatna stvar.
01:01
It gets colder at a much slower rate,
and then it starts warming up,
and then it starts warming up,
17
49680
4016
Postaje hladnije mnogo sporijim tempom,
a onda počinje da otopljava
a onda počinje da otopljava
01:05
and then it gets warmer and warmer
18
53720
1656
i onda postaje sve toplije i toplije
01:07
until the point where you can
almost survive without any protection,
almost survive without any protection,
19
55400
4936
do tačke gde možete maltene
da preživite bez ikakve zaštite,
da preživite bez ikakve zaštite,
01:12
about zero degrees,
20
60360
1816
oko nula stepeni,
01:14
and then you end up
getting colder and colder,
getting colder and colder,
21
62200
3295
i onda ulazite u sve hladnije i hladnije
01:17
and that's the top of the stratosphere.
22
65519
2217
i to je vrh stratosfere.
01:19
It is one of the least accessible
places on our planet.
places on our planet.
23

To je jedno od nejnepristupačnijih mesta
na našoj planeti.

01:23
Most often, when it's visited,
24
71720
1736
Najčešće je posećuju
01:25
it's by astronauts
who are blazing up at it

astronauti, koji suknu kroz nju
01:29
at probably several times
the speed of sound,
the speed of sound,
26
77400
2856
nekoliko puta brže od brzine zvuka
01:32
and they get a few seconds on the way up,
27
80280
1976
i uhvate par sekundi dok idu nagore,
01:34
and then they get this blazing
ball of fire coming back in,
ball of fire coming back in,
28
82280
4776
a onda u gorućoj vatrenoj lopti
dok se vraćaju,
dok se vraćaju,
01:39
on the way back in.

01:41
But the question I asked is, is it
possible to linger in the stratosphere?

30
89040
4296
Pitanje koje postavljam je: da li je
moguće zadržati se u stratosferi?

01:45
Is it possible to experience
the stratosphere?

31

Da li je moguće iskusiti stratosferu?
01:47
Is it possible to explore
the stratosphere?

32
95720
2520
Da li je moguće istraživati stratosferu?
01:54
I studied this using
my favorite search engine

33
102640
2776
Proučavao sam ovo pomoću svog
omiljenog uređaja za pretraživanje
omiljenog uređaja za pretraživanje
01:57
for quite a while, about a year,
34
105440
3016
prilično dugo, oko godinu dana,
02:00
and then I made a scary phone call.
35
108480
3496
a onda sam uputio
zastrašujući telefonski poziv.
zastrašujući telefonski poziv.
02:04
It was a reference from a friend of mine
to call Taber MacCallum

36
112000
3696
Prijatelj mi je preporučio da pozovem
Tejbera Mekaluma
Tejbera Mekaluma
02:07
from Paragon Space
Development Corporation,
Development Corporation,
37
115720
2736
iz Paragona, korporacije
za razvoj svemira,
za razvoj svemira,
02:10
and I asked him the question:
38
118480
1381
i pitao sam ga
02:11
is it possible to build
39
119885
3360
da li je moguće konstruisati
02:16
a system to go into the stratosphere?
40
124000
2136
sistem za odlazak u stratosferu?
02:18
And he said it was.
41
126160
1576
Rekao je da je moguće.
02:19
And after a period of about three years,
we proceeded to do just that.
we proceeded to do just that.
42
127760
6696
I posle otprilike tri godine,
krenuli smo da radimo upravo to.
krenuli smo da radimo upravo to.
02:26
And on October 24 of last year,
43
134480
2480
I 24. oktobra prošle godine,
02:29
in this suit,
44
137680
1200
u ovom odelu,
02:31
I started on the ground,
45
139440
1400
krenuo sam sa zemlje,
02:33
I went up in a balloon to 135,890 feet --
46
141720
6040
popeo sam se u balonu na 41.420 metara -
02:40
but who's counting?
47
148360
1216
ali ko još broji?
02:41
(Laughter)
48
149600
2456
(Smeh)
02:44
Came back to Earth
at speeds of up to 822 miles an hour.
at speeds of up to 822 miles an hour.
49
152080
4400
Vratio sam se na Zemlju
brzinama do 1.320 km na sat.
brzinama do 1.320 km na sat.
02:49
It was a four-minute
and 27-second descent.
and 27-second descent.
50
157800
3040
Pad je trajao 4 minuta i 27 sekundi.
02:53
And when I got to 10,000 feet,
I opened a parachute and I landed.
I opened a parachute and I landed.
51
161600
4080
Kad sam stigao do 3.000 metara,
otvorio sam padobran i spustio se.
otvorio sam padobran i spustio se.
02:58
(Applause)
52
166120
4560
(Aplauz)
03:06
But this is really a science talk,
and it's really an engineering talk,
and it's really an engineering talk,
53
174000
4056
Ali ovo je naučni i inženjerski govor
03:10
and what was amazing to me
about that experience
about that experience
54
178080
2296
i ono što mi je bilo neverovatno
u vezi tog iskustva
u vezi tog iskustva
03:12
is that Taber said, yes, I think
we can build a stratospheric suit,
we can build a stratospheric suit,
55
180400
4656
je da je Tejber rekao: da, mislim da
možemo da napravimo odelo za stratosferu
možemo da napravimo odelo za stratosferu
03:17
and more than that, come down tomorrow
56
185080
2616
i pored toga, dođi sutra
03:19
and let's talk to the team
that formed the core of the group
that formed the core of the group
57
187720
3136
da porazgovaramo sa timom
koji čini jezgro grupe
koji čini jezgro grupe
03:22
that actually built it.
58
190880
1200
koja ga je napravila.
03:24
And they did something
which I think is important,
which I think is important,
59
192400
4336
I oni su uradili nešto
što mislim da je važno:
što mislim da je važno:
03:28
which is they took
the analogy of scuba diving.
the analogy of scuba diving.
60
196760
3336
uzeli su analogiju sa ronjenjem.
03:32
So in scuba diving,
61
200120
1696
Kod ronjenja
03:33
you have a self-contained system.
62
201840
1816
imate samostalan sistem.
03:35
You have everything
that you could ever need.
that you could ever need.
63
203680
2336
Imate sve što vam je potrebno.
03:38
You have a scuba tank.
64
206040
2040
Imate bocu za ronjenje.
03:40
You have a wetsuit.
65
208480
2656
Imate ronilačko odelo.
03:43
You have visibility.
66
211160
1736
Imate vidljivost.
03:44
And that scuba is exactly this system,
67
212920
2736
I to je upravo ovaj sistem
03:47
and we're going to launch it
into the stratosphere.
into the stratosphere.
68
215680
2440
i lansiraćemo ga u stratosferu.
03:50
Three years later, this is what we have.
69
218920
2160
Tri godine kasnije,
ovo je ono što smo dobili.
ovo je ono što smo dobili.
03:54
We've got an amazing suit
that was made by ILC Dover.
that was made by ILC Dover.
70
222160
4696
Neverovatno odelo koje je napravio
ILC Dover.
ILC Dover.
03:58
ILC Dover was the company
that made all of the Apollo suits
that made all of the Apollo suits
71
226880
3456
ILC Dover je kompanija koja je napravila
sva odela za Apolo misije
sva odela za Apolo misije
04:02
and all of the extravehicular
activity suits.
activity suits.
72
230360
2416
i sva odela za vanbrodske aktivnosti.
04:04
They had never sold a suit commercially,
73
232800
3256
Nikad nisu prodali nijedno odelo
04:08
only to the government,
74
236080
1576
osim vladi,
04:09
but they sold one to me,
which I am very grateful for.
which I am very grateful for.
75
237680
3616
ali su meni prodali jedno,
na čemu sam im vrlo zahvalan.
na čemu sam im vrlo zahvalan.
04:13
Up here we have a parachute.
This was all about safety.
This was all about safety.
76
241320
3160
Ovde gore imamo padobran.
Najvažnija je bila bezbednost.
Najvažnija je bila bezbednost.
04:17
Everyone on the team knew
77
245240
4816
Svako u timu je znao
04:22
that I have a wife
and two small children --
and two small children --
78
250080
2736
da imam ženu i dvoje male dece -
04:24
10 and 15 --
79
252840
2576
od 10 i 15 godina -
04:27
and I wanted to come back safely.
80
255440
2055
i da sam želeo bezbedno da se vratim.
04:29
So there's a main parachute
and a reserve parachute,
and a reserve parachute,
81
257519
2430
Postoji glavni i rezervni padobran
04:31
and if I do nothing,
82
259973
1200
i ako ne radim ništa,
04:33
the reserve parachute is going to open
because of an automatic opening device.
because of an automatic opening device.
83
261760
3667
rezervni padobran će se otvoriti
zbog automatskog uređaja za otvaranje.
zbog automatskog uređaja za otvaranje.
04:38
The suit itself
can protect me from the cold.
can protect me from the cold.
84
266160
2136
Samo odelo može da me zaštiti od hladnoće.
04:40
This area in the front here
has thermal protection.
has thermal protection.
85
268320
2936
Ovaj deo napred ima toplotnu zaštitu.
04:43
It will actually heat water
that will wrap around my body.
that will wrap around my body.
86
271280
3176
Ono zagreva vodu
koja se obavija oko mog tela.
koja se obavija oko mog tela.
04:46
It has two redundant oxygen tanks.
87
274480
2456
Ima dve rezervne boce kiseonika.
04:48
Even if I was to get
a quarter-inch hole in this suit,
a quarter-inch hole in this suit,
88
276960
3056
Čak i da sam napravio u odelu
rupu od pola centimetra,
rupu od pola centimetra,
04:52
which is extremely unlikely,
89
280040
2576
što je krajnje neverovatno,
04:54
this system would still protect me
from the low pressure of space.
from the low pressure of space.
90
282640
3800
ovaj sistem bi me i dalje štitio
od niskog pritiska svemira.
od niskog pritiska svemira.
04:59
The main advantage of this system
is weight and complexity.
is weight and complexity.
91
287320
3656
Glavna prednost ovog sistema
je težina i složenost.
je težina i složenost.
05:03
So the system weighs about 500 pounds,
92
291000
2976
Sistem je težak oko 220 kg
05:06
and if you compare it to the other attempt
recently to go up in the stratosphere,
recently to go up in the stratosphere,
93
294000
3816
i ako ga poredite sa ostalim skorašnjim
pokušajima odlaska u stratosferu,
pokušajima odlaska u stratosferu,
05:09
they used a capsule.
94
297840
1256
oni su koristili kapsulu.
05:11
And to do a capsule, there's an amazing
amount of complexity that goes into it,
amount of complexity that goes into it,
95
299120
3976
Napraviti kapsulu je izuzetno složeno
05:15
and it weighed about 3,000 pounds,
96
303120
1936
i ona je težila 1.300 kg,
05:17
and to raise 3,000 pounds
to an altitude of 135,000 feet,
to an altitude of 135,000 feet,
97
305080
4696
a da bi se podiglo 1.300 kg
na visinu od 40.000 metara,
na visinu od 40.000 metara,
05:21
which was my target altitude,
98
309800
2136
što je bila moja ciljana visina,
05:23
it would have taken a balloon
that was 45 to 50 million cubic feet.
that was 45 to 50 million cubic feet.
99
311960
5160
bio bi potreban balon od oko
1.400.000 kubnih metara.
1.400.000 kubnih metara.
05:30
Because I only weighed
500 pounds in this system,
500 pounds in this system,
100
318840
3336
S obzirom da je moja težina bila
226 kg u ovom sistemu,
226 kg u ovom sistemu,
05:34
we could do it with a balloon
that was five times smaller than that,
that was five times smaller than that,
101
322200
3216
mogli smo to da uradimo s balonom
koji je pet puta manji
koji je pet puta manji
05:37
and that allowed us to use a launch system
that was dramatically simpler
that was dramatically simpler
102
325440
4416
i to nam je omogućilo da koristimo
drastično jednostavniji sistem
drastično jednostavniji sistem
05:41
than what needs to be done
for a much larger balloon.
for a much larger balloon.
103
329880
2640
od onog koji je potreban
za mnogo veći balon.
za mnogo veći balon.
05:45
So with that, I want to take you
to Roswell, New Mexico, on October 24.
to Roswell, New Mexico, on October 24.
104
333480
4656
I sa ovim, želeo bih da vas povedem
u Rozvel u Nju Meksiku, 24. oktobra.
u Rozvel u Nju Meksiku, 24. oktobra.
05:50
We had an amazing team
that got up in the middle of the night.
that got up in the middle of the night.
105
338160
3696
Imali smo neverovatan tim
koji je ustao usred noći.
koji je ustao usred noći.
05:53
And here's the suit.
106
341880
2576
Evo ga odelo.
05:56
Again, this is using the front loader
that you'll see in a second,
that you'll see in a second,
107
344480
3136
Ono koristi otvor s prednje strane,
koji ćete videti kroz par sekundi,
koji ćete videti kroz par sekundi,
05:59
and I want to play you a video
of the actual launch.
of the actual launch.
108
347640
3216
i hteo bih da vam pustim
snimak lansiranja.
snimak lansiranja.
06:02
Roswell's a great place
to launch balloons,
to launch balloons,
109
350880
2016
Rozvel je sjajno mesto
za lansiranje balona
za lansiranje balona
06:04
but it's a fantastic place
to land under a parachute,
to land under a parachute,
110
352920
3176
i fantastično mesto
za spuštanje padobranom,
za spuštanje padobranom,
06:08
especially when you're going to land
70 miles away from the place you started.
70 miles away from the place you started.
111
356120
4400
naročito kada ćete sleteti 100 km
od mesta sa kog ste krenuli.
od mesta sa kog ste krenuli.
06:13
That's a helium truck in the background.
112
361640
2040
U pozadini je kamion s helijumom.
06:16
It's darkness.
113
364360
1256
Mrak je.
06:17
I've already spent about an hour
and a half pre-breathing.
and a half pre-breathing.
114
365640
3216
Već sam proveo sat i po
u pripremnom disanju.
u pripremnom disanju.
06:20
And then here you see the suit going on.
115
368880
2400
I ovde vidite oblačenje odela.
06:24
It takes about an hour to get the suit on.
116
372960
2280
Potrebno je oko sat vremena
za oblačenje odela.
za oblačenje odela.

That's me waving with my left hand.
125

Ovo sam ja. Mašem levom rukom.
06:59
The reason I'm waving with my left hand
126
407960

Razlog što mašem levom rukom
07:02
is because on the right hand
is the emergency cutaway.

I was mostly trying to relax.
134

Uglavnom sam pokušavao da se opustim.
07:25
My heart rate was very low

are relatively big at this point,

relativno velika u ovom momentu
07:36
and you can see me going up and up.
139

07:38
It's interesting here,
because if you look,

I'm right over the airport,

više nego iko ikada u balonu
07:57

i nalazio sam se
na 1.200 metara od puštanja.

Ako nešto krene po zlu,
želim da budem spreman.

08:26
And the main thing that I want to do here
152
494680
2176
Glavna stvar koju želim ovde
08:28
is to have a release and fall
and stay completely stable.

And there you can see a drogue parachute,
which I'll demonstrate in just a second,

A ovde možete videti kočni padobran,
koji ću pokazati za sekund,

09:08
because that's really important.

There's the balloon
going by a second time.

Evo ga balon koji prolazi po drugi put.
09:21
Right now, I'm about
at the speed of sound.

160
549200

Sada sam blizu brzine zvuka.
09:24
There's nothing for me to tell
it's the speed of sound,
it's the speed of sound,
161
552640
2720
Nema ničega što bi mi reklo
da je to brzina zvuka
da je to brzina zvuka
09:27
and very soon I will actually be
as fast as I ever get,
as fast as I ever get,
162
555880
3776
i vrlo brzo ću dostići najveću brzinu,
09:31
822 miles an hour.

09:54
AE: So now I'm down low right now
165
582960
1616
A.J.: Sada sam nisko
09:56
and you can basically see
the parachute come out right there.
the parachute come out right there.
166
584600
5296
i možete videti kako se otvara padobran.
10:01
At this point, I'm very happy
that there's a parachute out.
that there's a parachute out.
167
589920
2762
U ovom momentu sam veoma srećan
što je padobran otvoren.
što je padobran otvoren.
10:05
I thought I was the only one happy,
168
593789
1667
Mislio sam da sam samo ja srećan,
10:07
but it turns out mission control
was really happy as well.
was really happy as well.
169
595480
3336
ali kontrola leta je bila takođe srećna.
10:10
The really nice thing about this
is the moment I opened --
is the moment I opened --
170
598840
3096
Lepa stvar u vezi sa ovim je
u momentu otvaranja -
u momentu otvaranja -
10:13
I had a close of friend of mine,
Blikkies, my parachute guy.
Blikkies, my parachute guy.
171
601960
3376
imam vrlo bliskog prijatelja, Blikisa,
mog stručnjaka za padobran.
mog stručnjaka za padobran.
10:17
He flew in another airplane,
and he actually jumped out
and he actually jumped out
172
605360

On je leteo u drugom avionu
iz kog je skočio
iz kog je skočio
10:20
and landed right next to me.
173
608320
1976
i spustio se zajedno sa mnom.
10:22
He was my wingman on the descent.
174
610320
3256
Bio mi je pratilac na spuštanju.
10:25
This is my landing, but it's probably more
properly called a crash.
properly called a crash.
175
613600
5216
Ovo je moje prizemljenje ili,
bolje rečeno, sudar.
bolje rečeno, sudar.
10:30
(Laughter)
176
618840
4216
(Smeh)
10:35
I hate to admit it, but this wasn't
even close to my worst landing.
even close to my worst landing.
177
623080
3456
Mrzim to da priznam, ali ovo nije
uopšte bilo moje najgore sletanje.
uopšte bilo moje najgore sletanje.
10:38
(Laughter)
178
626560
2856
(Smeh)
10:41
(Applause)
179
629440
5320
(Aplauz)
11:00
(Video) Man: How are you doing?
180
648160
1496
(Video snimak) Čovek: Kako si?
11:01
AE: Hi there!
181
649680
1280
A.J.: Zdravo!
11:07
Yay.
182
655280
1216
Juhu!
11:08
(Laughter)
183
656520
2296
(Smeh)
11:10
So I want to tell you one thing
184
658840
1496
Želim da vam kažem jednu stvar
11:12
that you might not have seen
in that video,
in that video,
185
660360
2296
koju možda niste videli na snimku,
11:14
but one of the most critical parts
of the entire thing was the release
of the entire thing was the release
186
662680
3856
ali jedan od najkritičnijih delova
cele stvari bilo je otvaranje
cele stvari bilo je otvaranje
11:18
and what happens right after you release.
187
666560
2856
i ono što se dešava odmah posle otvaranja.
11:21
And what we tried to do was use
something called a drogue parachute,
something called a drogue parachute,
188
669440
4296
Pokušali smo da upotrebimo
nešto što se zove kočni padobran.
nešto što se zove kočni padobran.
11:25
and a drogue parachute
was there to stabilize me.
was there to stabilize me.
189
673760
2696
On je bio tu da me stabilizuje.
11:28
And I'll show you one of those right now.
190
676480
2056
Pokazaću vam jedan sada.
11:30
If any of you have ever
gone tandem skydiving,
gone tandem skydiving,
191
678560
2640
Ako je neko nekad skakao u tandemu,
11:34
you probably used one of these.
192
682120
1520
verovatno je koristio jedan ovakav.
11:38
But the problem with one of these things
193
686200
1936
Ali problem sa njim
11:40
is right when you release,
you're in zero gravity.
you're in zero gravity.
194
688160
2936
je to što kad ga otvorite,
nalazite se u nultoj gravitaciji
nalazite se u nultoj gravitaciji
11:43
So it's very easy for this
to just turn right around you.
to just turn right around you.
195
691120
3616
i vrlo lako može da se obmota oko vas.
11:46
And before you know it,
you can be tangled up or spinning,
you can be tangled up or spinning,
196
694760
3280
I u trenutku se možete
upetljati ili početi da se vrtite
upetljati ili početi da se vrtite
11:51
or you can release this drogue late,
197
699320
2656
ili možete otvoriti kočni padobran kasno,
11:54
in which case what happens
is you're going down at 800 miles an hour,
is you're going down at 800 miles an hour,
198
702000
4056
prilikom čega se dešava
da padate 1300 km na čas
da padate 1300 km na čas
11:58
and this thing is going to destroy itself
199
706080
2496
i ovaj padobran će se uništiti
12:00
and not be very useful.
200
708600
1200
i neće biti od koristi.
12:03
But the guys at United Parachute
Technologies came up with this idea,
Technologies came up with this idea,
201
711400
4296
Ali u "United Parachute Technologies"-u
su smislili sledeću stvar,
su smislili sledeću stvar,
12:07
and it was a roll that looks like that,
202
715720
1936
a to je rolna koja izgleda ovako,
12:09
but watch what happens when I pull it out.
203
717680
2680
ali gledajte šta se dešava kad je izvučem.
12:13
It's forming a pipe.
204
721560
1600
Formira se cev.
12:16
This pipe is so solid
205
724680
2200
Ova cev je tako čvrsta
12:20
that you can take this drogue parachute
and wrap it around,
and wrap it around,
206
728360
3776
da možete uzeti i vrteti
ovaj kočni padobran
ovaj kočni padobran
12:24
and there's no way
it will ever tangle with you.
it will ever tangle with you.
207
732160
2320
i uopšte nema šanse da se obmota oko vas.
12:27
And that prevented
a very serious potential problem.
a very serious potential problem.
208
735680
3240
To je rešilo vrlo ozbiljan
potencijalni problem.
potencijalni problem.
12:31
So nothing is possible
without an amazing team of people.
without an amazing team of people.
209
739560
2936
Tako da ništa nije moguće
bez sjajne ekipe ljudi.
bez sjajne ekipe ljudi.
12:34
The core of this was about 20 people
210
742520
2456
Jezgro grupe je činilo oko 20 ljudi
12:37
that worked on this for the three years,
211
745000
2096
koji su radili na ovome tri godine
12:39
and they were incredible.
212
747120
1616
i bili su neverovatni.
12:40
People asked me what the best part
of this whole thing was,
of this whole thing was,
213
748760
2776
Pitali su me šta je bilo najbolje
od svega ovoga.
od svega ovoga.
12:43
and it was a chance
to work with the best experts
to work with the best experts
214
751560
2456
To je bila mogućnost da radim
s najboljim stručnjacima
s najboljim stručnjacima
12:46
in meteorology and ballooning
and parachute technology
and parachute technology
215
754040
4616
za meteorologiju i balone
i padobransku tehnologiju,
i padobransku tehnologiju,
12:50
and environmental systems
and high altitude medicine.
and high altitude medicine.
216
758680
4456
za sisteme životne sredine i
medicinu na velikim visinama.
medicinu na velikim visinama.
12:55
It was fantastic. It's an engineer's dream
to work with that group of people.
to work with that group of people.
217
763160
4136
Bilo je fantastično. Inženjerski san je
raditi s takvom grupom ljudi.
raditi s takvom grupom ljudi.
12:59
And I also at the same time
wanted to thank my friends at Google,
wanted to thank my friends at Google,
218
767320
3256
I u isto vreme bih želeo da zahvalim
svojim prijateljima u Guglu
svojim prijateljima u Guglu
13:02
both for supporting me during this effort
219
770600
2856
za podršku u ovom poduhvatu
13:05
and also covering for me
in the times that I was away.
in the times that I was away.
220
773480
3296
kao i za to što su me pokrivali
kad nisam bio tu.
kad nisam bio tu.
13:08
But there's one other group
I wanted to thank, and that's my family.
I wanted to thank, and that's my family.
221
776800
3296
Ali tu je i druga grupa kojoj sam hteo
da se zahvalim, moja porodica.
da se zahvalim, moja porodica.
13:12
Yay.
222
780120
1216
Jee!
13:13
(Applause)
223
781360
6216
(Aplauz)
13:19
I would constantly give them speeches
about the safety of technology,
about the safety of technology,
224
787600
3696
Stalno sam im držao govore
o bezbednosti tehnologije,
o bezbednosti tehnologije,
13:23
and they weren't hearing any of it.
225
791320
2200
ali oni nisu slušali ništa od toga.
13:27
It was super hard on them,
226
795080
1376
Bilo im je izuzetno teško
13:28
and the only reason
that my wife put up with it
that my wife put up with it
227
796480
2576
i jedini razlog što je moja žena izdržala
13:31
was because I came back incredibly happy
after each of the 250 tests,
after each of the 250 tests,
228
799080
5496
je to što sam se vraćao neverovatno srećan
posle svake od 250 proba
posle svake od 250 proba
13:36
and she didn't want
to take that away from me.
to take that away from me.
229
804600
2176
i nije želela da mi uskrati to.
13:38
So I want to close with a story.
230
806800
1776
I da zaključim priču.
13:40
My daughter Katelyn, my 15-year-old,
she and I were in the car,
she and I were in the car,
231
808600
4576
Moja ćerka Kejtlin, 15-godišnjakinja,
i ja, bili smo u kolima
i ja, bili smo u kolima
13:45
and we were driving down the road,
and she was sitting there,
and she was sitting there,
232
813200
3456
i vozili se i ona je sedela tamo
13:48
and she had this idea, and she goes,
"Dad, I've got this idea."
"Dad, I've got this idea."
233
816680
3376
i dobila je ideju, rekla je:
"Tata, imam ideju."
"Tata, imam ideju."
13:52
And so I listened to her idea
and I said, "Katelyn, that's impossible."
and I said, "Katelyn, that's impossible."
234
820080
4520
Saslušao sam njenu ideju i rekao:
"Kejtlin, to je nemoguće."

kako možeš da kažeš
za nešto da je nemoguće?"

14:05
And I laughed, and I said,
"OK, it's not impossible,

Nasmejao sam se i rekao:
"U redu, nije nemoguće,

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Alan Eustace - Stratospheric explorerAlan Eustace leapt to Earth from the edge of the stratosphere wearing only a spacesuit, shattering skydiving records and potentially revolutionizing the commercial space industry.
Why you should listen
Two years after Felix Baumgartner jumped from a capsule in the stratosphere for Red Bull, a quiet group led by now-retired Google exec Alan Eustace beat the height record -- without a capsule. (Neither livestreamed nor promoted, the jump record was announced the next day.) In a custom 500-pound spacesuit, Eustace was strapped to a weather balloon, and rose to a height of over 135,000 feet, where he dove to Earth at speeds exceeding 821 mph -- breaking both the sound barrier and previous records for high-altitude jumps.
Leading up to this jump, Eustace and his partners in StratEx had spent years solving a key problem of stratosphere exploration: returning human beings to Earth from the edge of space using minimal life-support systems. In the process, they’ve opened the door to cheaper and safer near-space travel.
