not many months later i found myself in california seeing the real hubble space telescope that is shown as it is taken out and shipped to florida for the launch these are human beings the size of a school bus about 15 feet in diameter fits very snugly into the payload bay if you went to hubbell but your fists between the telescope and the shuttle not much more room that's how tight it was one of the remarkable things about hubbell that is the exploded diagram that shows you all of the equipment all the doors are open that give you access to these big boxes on the bottom all of the stuff that makes hubbell work to run the data to process the observations and the science instruments the architecture hubbell was given again back in the late sixties early seventies and the infant space-age hubbell engineers had the foresight drawn largely from their experience for that architecture to work on it hundreds of miles above the earth imagine putting on two full-body snowmobile suits with a bucket on your head hefty gloves under mittens and then to change the spark plugs in your car if you put a

and young folks first. >> how is the air on the hubble space telescope made?ll doesn't have any air. it's not a pressurized vehicle. it's an open cylinder. >> admit Ãbi meant to error. >> i misheard you. there were two ways to measure the state of the mirror and check if you are getting it right. so they are late behind schedule over budget everyone's really annoyed with the guys making the mere they think they are done and they measure it with both gadgets. the new gadget says it's right. the reason the new gadget gave you the wrong information is it was mis-assembled, there was a place where a washer should have been inserted and it was inserted in a different place so the measurement was off. as they deconstructed this after the fact they found exactly where and figured it all out. it was by exactly that boopsie bit death of nero was wrong. >> why didn't you give back the badge when it said lunch team and so the launch team. >> we thought it was really funny. the people we gave it to him of the engineers who'd been working on our behalf everyone loves a goo

further away a galaxy is it's receding 6070 kilometers per 2nd faster but more recently the hubble space telescope examined nearby galaxies and came up with a higher expansion rate of 74 kilometers per 2nd per megaparsec this discrepancy still needs to be explained. many physicists believe that these glimpses into the cosmos show that the rate of expansion of the universe is increasing. some us astrophysicists have simulated what would happen if the expansion were to keep accelerating. in this scenario known as the big rip the entire fabric of space time would be torn apart galaxies stars planets even atoms the universe as we know it would cease to exist. theoretically that is fortunately this scenario is very improbable. keep those questions coming here's how to get in touch our well. site twitter or facebook. that's all for now next time we get into micro plastics they're everywhere and they're said to be very harmful is that true what are the effects of micro plastics find out next week till then take care and see you soon. get into the top in opera is not for the faint hearted. a fantastic voi

the shuttle made it possible to fly payloads like the hubble space telescope and other observatories that have revolutionized our knowledge of it also made and possible the building of the international space station, which is an engineering marvel that is still up there today doing its job so in summary, i think the spatial program is something we will look on fondly and it will be a long time before we see a vehicle that is anywhere near capable of that. i was sorely disappointed in 2011 when the program was terminated. i was primarily disappointed because we didn't have another capability to put our cruise in ws in space ande we would be dependent on russia to do that. we have been for the past eight years. i am anxious to hear how the star liner and capsules are going to correct the problem very soon. thank you. [applause] deanne: all right,. for our next speaker, we have dr. sandy magnus. dr. sandy back this has flown on four shuttle missions, including the final shuttle flight in 2011. she flew to the international space station in 2008 where she spent four and a half months abo
