8:20 am
landed a spacecraft on mars now it follows the u.s. on the soviet union to become the 3rd country to have a rover touchdown on the red planet the 6th wheel to jurong is named after the god of fire in ancient chinese mythology descended from a craft that's been circling mar since february its china's most ambitious space mission so far let's get more this from john t. horner he's a professor of astrophysics at the university of southern queensland institute for advanced engineering and space science sciences joins me now via skype from to wonder in australia it's a great title for a university to work out professor horner good to have you with us on the program before we talk about sort of the technology involved how excited are you that this probe has landed on mars. someone who's been assigned some of us for a lot longer not been special scientists and anytime we get more exploration of
8:21 am
places like mars i'm just at the moment to be able to get one successful on that very 1st attempt it really remarkable i'm just really excited seen what might find out in the coming weeks and months as explore the surface so you took your money shit on mars so the probes landed so what should we be looking out for in terms of what the chinese will do next in the next few hours or days in terms of the probe and its movements. well the 1st thing they'll be doing is checking that everything's ok that comes from that cut down 2nd sound and not top of the lumber it's not clear of them and they'll map out the area will make sure they know exactly where they are out of the next few days they'll get ready for the rather to roll down around off the lander and start exploring if all goes well within a few days be out on the surface actually taking measurements driving around at search no we've seen the u.s. and the of the former soviet union laws with their various experiments in exploration so what's the. you know of the chinese land on mars what do they hope
8:22 am
to achieve from their investigation that's a few different things which firstly it's simply the proof that they can do it so there's a lot of this that's very similar in a way to the ingenuity helicopter that the americans have that part of it is simply proving that you've got the capacity to do this for future missions but on top of that it's going to do with huge amount of science it's going to look at the geology of the area look for evidence of past water current water so that the interior of mars are good don't really just program a science particularly accepting the 1st time that they're going to mars they can't attract do everything all at once so in the long term you sort of touched upon it really what does china get out of this mission both in the short and long term. well it inspires people and that's always something that much that's countries that do things like this it develops new technology and that also is really useful that new technology then trickles down it's what really lives but in the long term china is looking in a very similar went to the us of sending people out into spare so let me create one
8:23 am
a moment and then further into the future sending people to mars and sending people out into the solar system as a whole and so this is one step along that route such as scientists it's really exciting because of the things we can learn but i think it's a cycle it's also really cool because it's a step along the road to actually human exploration and a permanent presence for people in space beyond the it's good to get your point of view professor john to horner from the university of southern queensland thanks so much for joining us from in australia thank you thank you for having me now an outspoken supporter of the former us president donald trump has been elected to a senior leadership role in the republican party new york congresswoman so at least stepanek was voted in as house conference chairwoman she replaces liz cheney who was pushed out for her recent criticism of trump john hendren reports are from washington d.c. . donald trump might seem like a man enjoying semi retirement but his grip on the republican party hasn't slipped
8:24 am
just ask fellow republican liz cheney she spoke out against him i will do everything i can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the oval office her party repaid her by ousting her as the republican conference chair the party's number 3 leader in the house of representatives even though donald trump is no longer commander in chief even though he no longer sits in the oval office he still controls the party he still will be enormous influence over the party and what you're seeing are republicans making it started effort to try to not only rewrite history but also rewrite it and the way that center is everything around donald trump and that's for good or bad cheney was replaced on friday by a least a funny who made no secret of where her allegiance lies i believe that voters determine the leader of the republican party and president trump is the leader that
8:25 am
they look to stiff voted not to certify joe biden is the winner of the 2020 election earning her the support of the man still claiming he won it is this is a rigged election everybody you know the republican congressman adam kinzinger says only a few of his colleagues really believe that donald trump won the last presidential election but few were willing to speak out against him so while the party is getting an injection of new leadership the man who calls the tune remains the same as for the man who by every official count did win the election he seems to want to turn the page liz cheney are suggesting is above my pay grade i mean i have enough trouble figuring out of my own party all the time let alone in public with that could be difficult with his predecessors constant criticism and his frequent hints that he wants a rematch in 2024 john hendren 0 washington. go to the polls later to choose a group of people who will write
