commercial space industry has experienced a major boom.bal government spending on space is decreasing as the commercial sector grows. of the $314 billion global space industry, the united states spends $74 billion on space. around $17 billion of that goes to nasa. $122 billion is made up of commercial space products. and $117 billion goes to space infrastructure, building spacecraft, launch pads, rockets, insurance, and research and development. the american space industry got a boost on april 15th, 2010. >> we are work with a growing array of private companies. >> that's when president obama promised nasa $6 billion over the next five years to seed private space companies. >> that opened up a lot of opportunity for clever ambitious people, business people who thought they could do things cheaper or faster. >> nasa spent about $2.5 billion of that money by the end of 2014. >> almost every private space company that you look at right now, is in some way benefits from nasa. >> nasa has pumped an additional $7 billion with two companies to bu

he paid the highest wages in industry -- $5 a day. he made a car that his workers and other working people could afford to buy. ford's vision was to produce the perfect car inexpensive and durable, looks didn't count. ford said the customer could get a model t in any color he wanted "as long as it was black!" richard strout of the christian science monitor owned a model t and remembers. they were lovely little cars. they were 7 feet high, and they were as angular as an awning, i would say. and they would take you anywhere. schoumacher: it seemed as though ford had devised the perfect competitive product. it took a beating, but it never wore out. it kept getting cheaper, and it was never out of style. henry ford had american drivers eating out of his hand. model ts weren't the only cars on the road back then. americans also were driving pierce-arrows and stutz bearcats and duesenbergs, as well as the chevrolets, oldsmobiles, buicks, ancadillacs built by ford's number-one competitor, general motors headed then by alfred p. sloan. accord

i think the industry brought this on itself.by insisting right from the beginning that there was no reason to label genetically-modified foods. just think about what would have happened if they'd been labeled right from the beginning. i was on the fda food advisory committee at the time, and i said you've got to label them. if you don't label them, the public is going to wonder what you're trying to hide. and people won't have a choice. you've got, you know, this is a big consumer choice country, and the food industry is always argue aing about choice -- arguing about choice except for genetically-modified foods. if they'd put a label on it right from the gunning, people would have -- from the beginning, people would have had a choice, and by this time, 20 years later, people would realize that nobody had dropped dead from eating genetically-modified foods, and maybe there were good ones and bad ones, and they could talk about what good products were and what harmful products were and why and not have it be so polarized. >> host

what a new industry, debra, thank you for being with us. we put a man on the moon in 1969 but this is not the type of thing when you were at the ntsb that you would typically deal with. obviously you had protocols in place. what is supposed to happen when a spaceship crashes? >> the good news is, there are a lot of people who have thought long and hard about what should be done, and many tickets have been sold on these planes. there are agreements, nasa, faa and ntsb have worked closely to understand, if there is a mishap, who is responsible, who is in charge. >> break that down for me, who is liecialg responsible in this case? -- likely responsible in this case? >> the ntsb is going to lead the investigation, their go-team is headed out there and they will conduct this very much like a commercial aircraft investigation. they're going to be following exactly the same protocols, establishing the investigation and making sure that evidence is going to be secured and that evidence is probably going to be significant digital evidence when you t

and her book "the greatest gamblers" told the industry's history.kefeller stayed out of the drilling end because he didn't want to lose any money. he was the one who always wanted to -- he wanted to make the money. and when he saw that there was such a thing as drilling dry holes and you could lose money, it was obvious to him in the beginning, that there was going to be as much money lost in looking for oil as there would be made by finding it. schoumacher: rockefeller bought the oil that other men drilled, refined it, and sold it. by 1869, he had the largest refinery in the country. and a year later, standard oil of ohio was born. when competition squeezed profit margins, rockefeller squeezed the competition. willing competitors were bought. unwilling competitors found themselves cut off from railroads, pipelines, and credit. by having the monopoly that he had originally -- which in refining and in pipelining -- he was able to control the price of oil for the producers. and the independents hated rockefeller. for example, there was an incident of

and as a real credit to this industry, in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, the industry came together, brought in subject matter expertise in the areas of intelligence, counterterrorism, and focused on developing an integrated security plan that would be applied across the board and adapted by each participating railroad within the context of its unique operations. that plan took effect in early 2002. and literally there was still fire burning at the pentagon when this group convened a focused effort. looked across the board to assess risks. broke it up into five teams, hazard accounts material transport, life cycle of a train, where potential vulnerabilities, communications and cyber technology, and critical infrastructure, assets throughout the network. what that produced by early 2002 was a security plan with four alert levels that called for increasing security measures in those areas, as threat levels escalated. so before you had a fully functioning transportation security administration, before you had a department of homeland security, before you had that color-coded system tha

but there's also been a change in our economy from hardhat industries to service industries.ons, but it doesn't match the decline of traditional union strongholds. things are obviously changing. besides foreign competition, the chrysler story also suggests another change. the occurence of actual cooperation between labor and management from opposite sides of the bargaining table. does this herald a new era in which unions and management place common interests above conflicts? maybe not, but one can dream, can't one? the immigrant garment workers who made the ilg learned the lesson that workers bargaining collectively can even the economic odds. but as other union workers found out, bargaining power is like a hammer. swinging it too hard may bring the whole business down. but used carefully it can build or even repair a solid structure on a firm foundation. for economics usa, this is david schoumacher. captioning is made possible by the annenberg/cpb project captioning performed by the national captioning institute, inc. captions copyright 1986 educational film center nenberg

and at ford. >> we used to look at industries as very defined industry. we think of auto industry as being guys who make cars, the technology company as being places where they bring new gadgets to the market. but increasingly, those two businesses, technology and the auto industry, are combining and working together. i just wonder how you maneuver that and what we can expect in the car of the future from ford. >> these days as a company we're thinking of ourselves more as a possibility company instead of just a car and truck company. we're seeing technology play a more and more important role in our business. the technological enablers that are available to us as an industry versus even five years or even two years ago is mind-boggling. and we're viewing that as an opportunity. so when you think of going forward, the vehicle being part of the connected car being part of the interfete and things you think of autonomous vehicles, you think of mobility sharing, new retail approaches using technology, we're looking that the as a huge opportunity to move our
