I never imagined I would have the
opportunity to work in the
exploitation that happens to them
much less did I realize that the way
in which I grew up in this dynamic in the
border that many of us who are
here we know that that would give me the
key to get to Mars
They also met in a city
a few kilometers south of here
llama chihuahua delights and after
approximately five years of courtship
They decided to get married and emigrate to the
U.S
his main motivation to leave the
from the city where he was born where
they met a motivation
mainly economic
my parents wanted to get a job
that would allow them to establish themselves and
start a family and so without
even being born my life was
marked for the first time by this
border dynamics and his dad
settled in garden grove california
that there is where I was born for those who
they do not know of garden grove is stuck to
the nasa in california that is where my
kim has made the psoe les friends friends that
they were born in Disneyland
[Music]
and after a few months of being born
my parents decided to go back to
delight
this time motivated by something more
staff that was the interest of me and
my future brothers would grow to
side of our loved ones from
our grandparents of our uncles of
our cousins and so it was that the
months after my parents decided
return to delights and the border marked
my life for the second time
I grew up in delights for the
first 15 years of my life and in
December 2005 I was presented with the
opportunity to come to study at
step texas
the plan was to come and study learn
English to finish high school and
eventually go to college for
I can help my parents
this time I made the decision
I consciously know that at 15
years I came with my brother under 12
to study the texas step
although the step was very difficult
I remember that being away from
my of my parents of my friends
I remember crying in the night together with
my brother for bringing our family
however the lesson he taught me
Juarez and step is what defined my
Juarez personal philosophy and step
more allowed to experience and live
that border dynamic that has marked
my life already several times 14,000
people cross the border in juarez on
step every day it seems to me that they go to
I went to study to work to go
moll shopping at weekends for
six years that come to juárez to go
to the doctor to work the machines to
partying also on Saturdays
this constant movement of people
what happens here at the border has done
that Juarez and the step creating a
codependent economy right now so
general an increase in jobs
maquiladoras that are the main
current economic activity is translated
in an increase of works in the area
of services and transportation in step
texas and this dependence on the economy
has made the region passed from the north
be one of the main ports
commercial not only the border
mexico-united states but throughout the
world and this combination of people from
ideas of people of ideology of cultures
what for me is going to give us the key
to get to marc to get to Mars is a
very complex challenge
right now with the technologies that we have
it would take us approximately 6 to 8
months send a crew of
astronauts to Mars and return them
during those months we would have to give
life support systems for
monitor your health and we assure you that
have the food the water that
needs to
we need to develop vehicles
explorers and allow them to move
to different places on the surface
Martian and perform experiments
that’s hard not counting the
trajectories that we have to design
to land at a specific point
on a planet that is millions of
kilometers from here
and despite the fact that the challenge is complex,
difficult, what are we going to do?
to Mars is the next step we have
what to take to make our race the
human race
sometimes interplanetary
the challenge that each one of us has
that we experience this dynamic
border is to appreciate this experience
this value that each one gives us as
individuals
living in this constant interaction
in this dependency between cities
[Applause]
the challenge is that each one of us
be aware of what exists in the
border and be a construct a
bridge builder of opportunities
of colaboration
what we have to do is learn from
Juarez and the step to create systems of
exchange between countries in three
continents between planets
[Applause]
we have to develop those bridges of
collaboration that allow us
transfer technologies ideas
innovations that will allow us
conquer and colonize Mars
this is a photo of the border of
Juarez and the passage
takes for an astronaut on board the
international Space Station
then what I teach these
cities is that they not only give us the
tools to achieve goals
interplanetary to get to Mars
but what can we learn from Juarez and
step too and see it from a
smallest more human perspective of
how you and I can work together
to build opportunities for
achieve a common welfare for
develop to grow for
conquer Mars and farther destinations
thank you very much the
[Applause]
