he's available in the movie go and join me the children's the i love you lots the gateway to the ground in. the cold west coast coromandel you can a web search will close the feature its ability to go and kill a clear run this is the kernel will search as a skill retreat. itself past now her mostly this is the pressure mounts on the british prime minister who gets a grilling in poland and over his toys and scrapes musical content as his awful sounds and the timing of the fight in the scandal but already led to several arrests and resignations this man for the. last remaining week calling suspect wanted by the u.n. from the boat in this conflict is counted a separate arrested fugitive come knowledge of goran out it has gone the country needs this had to overcome obstacles to its new membership. and georgian john is
10:31 am
accused guilt or she's a facing confessions from photographers challenge and spying for russia they claim it's a clear message to the rest of georgia you can leave the city. now with the u.s. shuttle program winding up all she talks of the man behind the hubble space telescope he believes mankind is still striving to make a branch of space. mr williams thank you very much for being with us today it's an honor sir my pleasure said the beauty of hubble's energy security basically its funding and its place in science do you think the beautiful that is you have a better chance of being successful by them and that is that pretty. no i would say
10:32 am
well it's always nice to look at beauty. but in fact. as far as a scientific value of hubble is concerned or trying to understand the universe and beauty is one of those things maybe you've heard the expression and beauty is in the mind of the beholder and so in fact what i see community and sometimes is a picture that other people might not consider beautiful but that reveals the answer to some important question like how stars form our galaxy and so to a scientist the beauty is a totally different thing the fact that produces beautiful images that children like to see is very important for the finding of people and of course that's important for we scientists and so in that sense yes it is important in fact i can tell you in the united states maybe in many countries schoolchildren tend to be
10:33 am
fascinated by certain things they're fascinated by dinosaurs for fifty years now if you would go to a typical classroom in the united states and look at posters on the wall you would see pictures of dinosaurs for the first time last pictures from hubble space telescope occurred more often than the dinosaurs on the walls of the classrooms of america that is quite an accomplished so thank you children for funding. well in fact that's true but there we've had servicing missions to the hubble. thought of them actually and the last one there was a lot of questioning because the economy was having problems whether or not it should go ahead there were some committees that actually recommended against the final servicing of in fact it was the public the american public in sr that hubble should be serviced so it could continue sending pictures for another
10:34 am
five to ten years so the public has actually helped save the life time of trouble or extended would you evaluate how it was contribution to science on one hand and nicest p.r. on the other hand what impact does it have there related nasa has done a good job of publicizing horrible but in fact i don't think that's really the key to success as we all know you can try to publicize something that doesn't really have much value and you don't succeed i think harbaugh really has been a remarkable discovery machine and because of that is been very easy for nasa to. be successful in its p.r. of the telescope i just mentioned that we're going to speak to the apollo eight crew members and everyone is that they brought back the shot of the earth right now as you see responsible for perhaps the most sensational photographs of the skies
10:35 am
and who really got it. from point a couple at nothing how much of a gamble was it a big gamble really i have always been a risk taker in our life when i was a child first thing i did when i got my first job after school was to deliver newspapers i saved up money got a telescope i was interested in astronomy even at that age twelve years old first thing i did was on a dark night. i took it out to see how far i could see fifty years later when i became director of the institute that operates help with space telescope it seemed to me at once to do the same thing scientifically look to see just how far out that could see galaxies. there had been some studies scientific studies done before the launch of hubble trying to predict the important scientific problems that it would help solve and imaging distant galaxies was not one of them and there were valid
10:36 am
reasons why many astronomers thought that hubble would do many great things but it probably would not make much of a contribution in studying distant galaxies i question that. and i thought it was sufficiently important that i was willing to take a recess and point hubble at. what i called an undistinguished spot in the sky for ten days to see what it could see. some prominent scientists were very worried about this because we did this just after hubble had been repaired you know for the first three years of its existence there was a flaw and the mirrors that needed to be corrected and so the american public was very upset about that hubble space telescope at the time of its launch was the most expensive. in history. two and one half billion
10:37 am
u.s. dollars very expensive and it was not working for three years the astronauts repaired famous servicing mission very successful perhaps the greatest moment in massa's history except for the moon landing. and so it was very worrisome to many people that right after the servicing mission when people had been opposed to the telescope because it wasn't working. crazy astronomer was going to try to see if he could image distant galaxies and they were afraid that i would get no results and if that were true then the public would really be opposed to the telescope but i thought it was worth the scientific methods and fortunately i had a very good team of scientists helping me and of course it did work out so there's a story here it is important to a scientific basis but that's my question i mean it's
10:38 am
a huge truth from what you've described a huge amount of money i couldn't and so many const more than prose what drove you that intuition or is it is that reason partly no it was that's a good question actually it was intuition. that's. i in my science i do tend to rely on my intuition probably too much actually because i can point to times in my scientific career when i had a hunch we call it you suspect something and i followed it and it turned out not to be productive in the case that. in the case of the field it was productive and you know it it's true in life that if you're going to make really interesting discoveries something that isn't expected you do need to take and i guess i like to go for the big discovery and so i'm willing to take
10:39 am
a risk even though the majority of the time perhaps you come up with nothing very interesting so it's a style that is a personal style that scientists have some people are not such mistakes they can be very successful i happen to be a risk taker. i've certainly had some failures that turned out to be a success and i think it was definitely worth it now it was in ninety five when you revolutionized the visuals of the science i mean for us for ordinary people it was a revolution of the visuals and the science and you to the chance you took a risk but scientists in space researchers now can be taken chance to campbell or are the stakes too high budgets to tight. it's becoming more difficult when funding is in sure there is greater pressure to come up with a result and of course it's very it's much easier to come up with a result when you don't take a risk when you're doing something where you already know it's likely to give you a positive result but of course the great discoveries are those in which you are
10:40 am
completely unexpected and therefore you cannot anticipate and i believe for the progress of science it is essential that there be risk takers and i think it's important for the people in the political world to fund expensive scientific. logics to realize that it is important for the march of science for the march of human knowledge that a certain amount of risk taking be undertaken just to make sure one more time for you this odyssey of the humble what's more important the facts or the news will affect that that it's mind boggling for us. the facts the facts yes so what's more important is it more important for you to see a beautiful picture and we can say that that's art and that's important or is it more important for you to realize that there's a discovery that tells you something about the origins of life even if that image
10:41 am
is not pretty i would say it is the increased understanding of the universe that comes even from that image that is not very pretty to me that has much more value then as something that's beautiful that of course does have value itself but you asked me as a taxpayer you. know that depends upon your values do you value art and depicting something that is beautiful more fundamental understanding you also said that we're now experiencing that golden age of astronomy and still of that opinion lately or even with the budget cuts. because this extends over a period of sun years we're going through difficult periods in the past few years but when i talk about the golden age of astronomy i talk about the the space missions that we've had in the past fifteen years and the large ground based
10:42 am
observatories in the new or the technological developments that have enabled us to do things like adaptive optics supercomputers that have really advanced or understanding the strong i mean if you look at the fundamental discoveries that have been made in astronomy. also ours was a writers and. the existence of planets around others in the past fifteen years there's been an explosion of knowledge about things largely is due to important technological developments so they've all come together because of this large number of discoveries that i would say really makes it appropriate to call this age a golden era of astronomy but what do you think both crowning achievement will be i actually think that it is produced many interesting scientific discoveries i believe the crowning. of hubble space telescope will be the fact that it made the
10:43 am
public aware of the universe and the fact that we can understand it and the fact that humans are a part of the universe and they evolved from that i believe bat is hubble's crowning achievement thank you very much for the century my pleasure. i am observing nature and discover is buzy. please. communicate with the wild and learn. test yourself and become free and am going to. see what nature can give you an aunty. forty two thousand americans die each year from car accidents only
