the mapped out shows the geo political reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world now on youtube, the lots of people dream of becoming an astronaut. but does everyone really have the same opportunities in the profession from germany? 12 named huffman stance broken, the volumes of it, but until now, not a single german woman making the trip into holdings as a crew member on a privately finance flight. but they are real good will be this, the more on that mission and others that have to us is more about the news coming up on tomorrow to day. these spectacular images from a mission run by space ex caused quite
8:31 am
a stir. they showed the 1st stage of the giant starship rockets being recaptured at the launch pad just a few weeks earlier. another qu from the us space space company also provided iconic footage when the future head of nasa billionaire, jared isaac men, looked out into the universe for him on board, the privately financed polaris don mission. the next space x mission involving non professional astronauts is already in planning. like when we were to pressure i think its crew will include german scientist, rev b o. hawkeye, pictured on the left launch is slated for spring of 2025 bitcoin millionaire. turn one on the right is paying for the mission. well hog i met him on an expedition to norway's arctic island spits beg and is the polar research here was training for her mission in the u. s. during this interview on the future of

commercial space travel, the going to put the whole point of commercial space travel or new space on is that you want to open it up to as many people as possible and it should be more inclusive, not just screening people out because they have this or that medical condition space x is really working on taking as many people as possible. but typically 7 looking to go to the american students and it's such space tourism is picking up speed attached to us entrepreneur dennis tito is considered the 1st space tourist the fluid to the international space station with the russians back in 2001 when space travel was still in entirely state run enterprise. when the space shuttle era ended in 2011 with the last launch of the atlantis, nasa brought private companies like space x and boeing on board to cut costs. as the technology improved, 1000000000 air space enthusiasts like you know on musk,
8:33 am
jeff base, those and richard branson started developing ideas for the ultimate tourism experience. making waves and drawing criticism with emissions like a flight involving 90 year old actor william shop or a k a captain kirk. so is space travel turning into an adventure for the super rich or flights that don't do any science next? does that make sense? the positive of funds or credit, positive consequence of tourism would be that the space travel gets cheaper. so more people can see how fragile are or is is put on the negative side. there's that with every, to launch using today's technologies. we destroy a bit of the ionosphere. we may have better technologies tomorrow, but right now, we're just joining a piece of the atmosphere. and you have to assess whether it's worth that it's worth it for scientific research and for advances in technology. but for tourism, you have to ask that question barguss's to astronauts regularly talk about how
8:34 am
beautiful earth is from space and how seeing it from there has much to teach us. but does that justify space tourism a tricky question that receives a cautious answer from astronaut alexander guest this up. let me see if i've heard myself say that it would be good if everyone had this view from up there. i might be going to click on hold and that's true. the simple this. it was a spontaneous feeling i had into space while looking down. i want to, and i think there's something through the, i believe many people would treat our planet differently, would see it differently if they could do it from up there. and if you say, hey, then d is a logical consequence, which is ultimately means you have to welcome the idea of giving more people access to space. and that's how i see it to. guest also says however, that space travel has to become more sustainable in terms of fuel and space to
8:35 am
break. but back to space, texas star ship brock at test. in the long term, the loan mosque isn't really interested in short trips into space. he wants to take humanity to mars and colonize it. to do so, he needs re usable rockets and materials and tack like that used in special space suits tested by the amateur astronaut on the polaris don mission on his social media platform ex mosque said not long ago that becoming multi planetary is critical to ensuring the long term survival of humanity and all life as we know it statements like the strive, the former east director general up the wall. it's not an absolute that's an absolutely critical quote. one made even more as by british scientist, stephen hawking, to put things even more drastically. he said that in view of pandemic and nuclear disasters here on earth will have to look out for another planet and they are in
8:36 am
a cup of polls. and he also explicitly mentioned climate change or female i say if that's all true, then we should actually stop flying and do what we're saying then is that we can pull them to destroy the earth because we can just slide to another one. i think that's terrible reasoning. can you see the guns limit, the criminal as it remains to be seen how much interest people in general will have in visiting space at the moment. the cost of trips remains astronomical, which isn't stopping elan musk from planning missions to mars in the next 2 years. first on crude. then later with astronauts on board before heading to mas, however, missions are scheduled to fly back to the me. both private companies on national space agencies. i'm making plans to go on the koreans to do it. of us from egypt
8:37 am
got in touch to aust, how hard it is to get on board. hello. how do you become an astronaut? what skills the say that this they made it every 4 years now. so selects new astronauts from among thousands of applicants. isa does. so even more rarely to apply, you have to have a degree in medicine, the natural sciences or engineering. you also need years of experience in the field or a lot of flight hours as a pilot. you don't have to be a top athlete to apply, but you do have to be fully mobile. glasses or contacts lenses are ok as long as you're a corrected vision is considered perfect. you also have to be able to cope well with stress. the astronaut, it's on board the international space station, the i ss, supervisor experiments, and keep the systems running good hand eye coordination. a broad knowledge
8:38 am
base and a level of learning are all important work days and space are packed to keep up. thank you. have to be both organized and focused perspective astronaut, have to complete the core training that includes parabolic flights. these provide a taste of what it's like to work in a wireless environment. in more advanced sessions, training, learn everything that they'll need to know on board the i ss, which includes practicing to take space logs. the training for this takes place in huge water tanks. the final phase involves training for a specific mission. both a selected crew and replacement crew complete programs. astronauts train all over the world and work together in international teams. so applicants should also have an aptitude for languages. and a background in geology now plays
8:39 am
a bigger role that will be important when exploring the moon and its resources. all of the major space faring nations are making plans to visit our closest celestial neighbor. someone to build stations in lunar orbit and on its surface. and more astronautics will be needed to realize these ambitious plans. so if your dream is to one day live and work in space, your chances today are better that they were 20 or 30 years ago. the plans chinese moon base could look like this. construction is slated to start from one in 2013 a chinese pro collected samples from the lunar surface in mid 2024. they are now being examined by geologist box that's fall from the new material taken from
8:40 am
our places. celeste, you'll neva, the 1st new rocks. what brought back to us decades ago, the up to now asked for note some probes have brought in any 400 kilograms of moving. welcome back to us. where on the moon did they come from? and tell us they changed how we view places celeste steel neighbors. similar to this, to the moon, is a history book that allows us to look far back into the passcode. could this some post from china's 2020 full moon mission to throw out new mysteries? it's my going to see how the moon is still good for a surprise or 2. we know a little scientist, appetites have been wedded, but lunar research still has a long way to go know mr. for the july 1969 apollo astronauts set off on the 1st mission to land on the moon,
8:41 am
the destination and luna plane on the side of it. the faces us good rate, our data there was no way to practice a landing with the spacecraft. touch down safely or sink deep into dust and tip of here. alive, lambert, lamb. 6. around 600000000 people, watch the historic events on television. neil armstrong and buzz aldrin spent 2 and a half hours on the newness surface. they carried out experiments and collected almost 22 kilograms of rocks to bring back to us. traces of the mission to still visible on the satellite side, toes take them today. nasa sent 6 crude spaces,
8:42 am
shows. i know the names face. on the 1st flights the focus was less on collecting samples and more on landing, safely in slash areas. laser trip schools say target to the areas that were more difficult to reach the and the fed full. the apollo emissions landed on the near side of the main times 2 is quite easy to suppose to be imagined. if you had to describe the earth's geology based on just a few landing sites, you wouldn't see much. and it's the same for us with the moon's the more landing sites, and the more samples we have from different sites, the better it is. and yeah, and this is hi, what's going on on the apollo 15 mission expanded some reasons. it's asked to note. so able to explore extensively for the 1st time with
8:43 am
a new no rosa and they collected much more involved in that plea. just this is from a wide range of sites all the last mission in the series. apollo 17. was the 1st with the scientist on board. oh wait a minute. geology harrison just makes or borrow well. he made a surprising discovery. orange material. amidst all the gray. it was the groundbreaking insights one in total, the apollo astronauts broke more than 380 kilograms of moving rock back to us from 6 landing sites. the largest chunk is nick named big muley. like most of the other materials from the apollo emissions. it's
8:44 am
a to nasa facility in houston labs. some posts are stored in nitrogen to protect them from moist. yeah. the, the lunar samples give her such as glimpses into a fall distant past that yeah, cuz i'm going to a pull all of the hollows samples allow us to look back about 4400000000 years. this is not the time, of course, very close to the formation of the planets because we think earth formed 4500000000 years ago. so that means we're very, very close to saying what happened in the beginning, funk plus here showing this chunk of fine flu, deprived, launched in november 2020 its mission to bring some pulse back to us around 5 decade south to the last depaula emissions. the talkative location was specifically chosen to provide missing data understanding gaps in what we already know. chunk of 5 landed in
8:45 am
a volcanic area and collected almost 2 kilograms of dustin drugs. the longevity has its success. a chunk of 6 was launched at the beginning of may 2024, to collect trucks for the 1st time from the fall side of the moon. geologists have been eager to have them for decades. the moon rock scroll back by the apollo missions have been analyzed precisely to determine the age and composition. microscopic details reveal how the rocks have developed and changed the times by linking xact data with information on where the rocks were found. researches of developed and method to determine the age of luminous surfaces. the older landscape, the logic, a more numerous, it's created. the balloon or some posts have given us
8:46 am
insights into the early days of also the system. they can be used for instance, to reconstruct when the nascent tenants was struck by asteroids and comments unto heavy the bombardment was on us tectonic movement strives rocks on the ground where it mounts in range using traces of ops on it. sadly, history move to vegetation and also alter the surface the samples collected even revealed the secret as the origin of all moving in the borrower tree. it turned out that the moon rocks were very similar to terrestrial rocks. the, until then there was several series about where on the came from. now it's rocks revealed that she was actually pos of us. the,
8:47 am
the evidence indicates that move and 4 and a half 1000000000 years ago, a mas size celeste deal body grain style plants. hot materials from both bodies was held into space. this eventually formed look at different, always 50. i thought that the cooling of the moon's cross distorted the formation of its upper crust, happened very quickly now 50000000 years after the collision of the quarter stuart geologically, that's very fast for this. of course, these are dimensions that we humans can't really imagine forced air and it's certainly dates. the moon was bombarded heavily. the impacts left behind knowledge crates, as which relate to flooded by rising maxima. the rock cools and forms the dump crate is the gift and moving its face
8:48 am
the decades off to the apollo emissions researches retrieve the samples from the archives and examined them using new methods. in this number, they may have actually discovered the oldest, as well as the meteor writes, possibly held it from the still young this towards the moon where it fused with this rug. in another impact on the ground breaking discovery was made and the orange colored material collected by apollo's 17 glass beads containing lu. now we've been rented for an hour. if we were to assume that the water came from the earth, then it would naturally collect on the surface of the glass be so not inside them
8:49 am
as in. so in this respect, we are very sure that we actually have water from the moon in these little glass beads and in class to do some volcanic eruptions pool. you know more to with the maxima to the means surface. in the frigid vacuum, the hot drop plants instantly froze into glass beads, trapping the water instantly. the samples from the chinese pro chung of 5 also he had some surprises. were such as have discovered even more so in them than in the apollo rocks imbedded in gloss globules that were formed during meteor rights impacts. they full more to release it again and might even drive a luna award to cycle. all these discoveries have made the moon interesting again for such is after world war 2 is the most important results
8:50 am
to crude space travel. so the moon only looks dry and dusty at 1st glance. the pulverized lunar rock, the blankets, its surface also contains water. lots of it and extract seeing that age to us who will play a key role in setting up permanent stations on the noun. i live in germany is working on the technology to do that. one day powder like this could quenching astronauts thirst for months. researchers at the technical university of bound fide and the german aerospace center they've been working on how to filter water out of artificial moon dust. the aim to one day enabled, permanent bases on the moon specialist. and most of the vendors, extracting water on the moon is important because we want to transport as little material from earth as possible. it'll make rockets lighter and cheaper if we
8:51 am
extract water on the moon to supply astronauts or to produce fuel extra filters to the experiments require what's called a thermal vacuum chamber, which creates air list temperatures at around minus 200 degrees celsius in a water is evaporated. and cool, causing it to condense and mingle with dust, filtering it count late or leaves fewer drinking water. the researchers process 90 kilos of dust to produce just 3 leaders of it. so supplying a whole lunar station, we require not a teaspoon, but huge excavators. the spirits of the next to the next logical step is to further develop what we've now tested in the lab, advancing the technology so that we can later take it on an isa or nasa and moon mission. and it was a patient of human beings with water and hydrogen. lunar astronauts would have life giving liquid an essential element for growing their food and fuel for future
8:52 am
emissions. the nasa has planned its next crude mission to the moon for 2027. china is also making plans to send site to no, it's the by 2013 regardless of who ultimately wins the race. both planning to land in a particular region. neither luna's south pole. one area in particular on the fall side of the moon has interested planet tree geologists, the decades rocks from that, and now allowing them to look even further back in times. in napa, the south pole 8 can base and is almost 2500 kilometers in diameter and about flushing kilometers deep. the it foamed mold in
8:53 am
full 1000000000 years ago when a huge asteroid crushed in to the main. that shot to dates crossed until it's material up on to the surface from deep layers of rock. it's material that could provide new insights into the us. the really good. no, i don't know exactly what the 1st rocks on earth looked like, nor do we know exactly how old the earth is. and only the moon could tell us that more. that means looking into the past. and if we have manual material from the move, and then we also know what magnet was composed of right at the very beginning. but back when the earth was very young and the moon formed in, suddenly the maxima on the apollo crate is located in the a can basin. china is most recent, luna, pro chung a 6, retrieve some polls from this creates a full re books. what together to make that possible,
8:54 am
the space pro reach the moon soul, which in early may 2024. it took just on the 3 we seeks to touch down at its destination and drop off the land. a robots which reach the luminous, faced on june the 1st months in advance. a relay satellite was positioned and luna obits to transmit the data to us. radio signals comp reach the false side of the moon directly using a special digging device. and a drill the line to robot collected around 2 kilograms of rocks. some polls the a transpose, and then carry that precious call. go back to the probe which brought the rock to us, the geologist, several, reggie, eagerly awaiting data for it. and of course, as a lunar geologist, i'm delighted that we finally managed to bring back samples from this area. but i'm
8:55 am
also a bit skeptical. it's very little too close, isn't much, and it's not entirely clear whether that's really enough to find the right material . but i'm assuming that it will be so exciting that we'll go back and get some more going on. that's what nonsense to notes have been training for years to collect samples on the moon. well, scientists and engineers develop tools and transport containers to prevent any contamination on the way to the bar at trace the fullest and major space faring nations. now have luna times in the coming decades stations that to be billed to south pole crude missions will reveal in even more detail how the moon was full and, and most of us looked like around 4 and a half 1000000000 years ago. the
