though bigelow says he has mapped it out to make money eventual eventually.int in doing it otherwise. back to you. >>> stick around, because we will bring in jon fortt. you say space travel is taking off. will it really? what do you say? >> reporter: me? of course it will take off. the question is when. all these things have been delayed, delayed, delayed. virgin galactic was supposed to be up and running by now. google lunar ex-prize supposed to have a rover on the moon. it hasn't happened. these things are taking longer, taking a lot more money, but they are moving forward and i think it will happen. now nasa got more money this year and that is a good thing for these private ventures. the ones that depend on nasa for seed money and partnerships are the ones furthest along. just ask elon musk. >> let's move on to the question of a loophole in british advertising. this was one that was before the e-cigs were even there. it banned television advertising for smoking products. they are coming back now, apparently on british tv, after some 50 years or so. jon, w

kathryn bigelow winning earlier and saying it didn't win, it is hard to say because of the smear campaign it is hard to see someone like her, it is very rare for people to win things that close together. she's very well respected in hollywood. >> then to the flip side of it, positive campaigning is a big part of it. robert redford not getting the nod and didn't campaign for it. >> yeah, it is true, basically life isn't fair and working for some people and not for other people. some people that dismiss or snubbed the oscars are treated rudely. others that never participated in the nonsense are still and were still a favorite. so there are rules that apply to certain people and rules that apply to others. it was unusual that redford didn't get nominated. >> we have to leave it there. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> the conversation is continuing at al jazeera.com consider. have a great weekend. >> this is al jazeera. >> from al jazeera headquarters in doha and in london. this is the news hour. ukraine in crisis, protesters are now in charge of government buildings in the capitol. th

again it's kind of hard to say, katherine bigelow won the oscar and best picture a year or two earlier if you say oh it didn't win it's hard to say that it was because the smear campaign because it's hard to see you know someone like her. it's very rare for people to win things that close together. she's obviously very well respected in hollywood. >> then there's the flip side of it, positive campaigning that's big for it too. robert redford didn't get a nomination, he didn't campaign for it. if politics is a big part of the process? >> it works for some people not for others. some people who dismissed the oscars, are snubbed by the academy. woody allen who has never participated in any of the nonsense, are still and were still academy award favorites. there are rules that apply to certain people and rules that apply to others. it was kind of unusual that redford didn't get nominated but it seems like one of these days he will get in there. >> we'll know about it. in a little over a week. the show may be over but the conversation continues, have a great weekend. >> good evening everyon

our approach is just being a little more methodical and calculated. >> bigelow launched two test habitatse's roprovided reports say a company could rent out one third of one habitat for $25 million after paying $26.5 million to get a ride there. he thinks that's going to come together in three years. for more on how this will play out and how that's supposed to be a good deal, a good price, go now to cnbc.com. back to you. >> that's an expensive -- i hope they give you more than peanuts and drinks when you get on board. >> 17 rocket companies. >> thank you, jane. >> incredible. >> heading towards the close. 11 minutes left in the trading session. the dow is slightly lower, down 15 points. the nasdaq is the one charging higher today though. >> earlier we told you about a reported meeting with tesla founder elon musk and apple's top dealmaker. people are talking about this one all day. could an i-car be in the offing? and is it a good idea? tweet us ayour thoughts on the idea of apple buying tessa and we'll feature them at the end of the program. you'll experience reliable uptime for the ne

the first female director to win an oscar was just a couple of years ago with katherine bigelow.ime women tried to get into it. it is a boy's club, the women in hollywood have a very specific purpose for women in the roles. >> oh, a very specific purpose, wink, wink on that one. what do we do about this? hollywood clearly, hypocritical, we know that. we've seen it in many different instances in politics. but i pulled up the 2013 and 2012 highest domestic grossing films. listen to this. spider-man, okay? what else do we have on here. skyfall, which is james bond, now we have wolf of wall street. what is the solution? she-wolf of wall street with reese? >> you're highlighting a pattern where women are usually placed in the supportive role and would correlate to the lesser salaries that we see our actresses command. as katie points out there is not a shortage of capable women in hollywood, i think we have to put them at the top. that is the solution. i know for me, there were more women that graduated in my law school class than there were men. however, there was something interrupt

enter robert bigelow.pace company in las vegas where he's building inflatable habitats for low earth orbit, one is going to the space station next year and eventual he's planning on selling a lunar business hop filed paperwork asking the government to amend a space treaty that nobody who gets to the moon has private property considerations. >> there's already a policy that declares that if you have a habitable system in space that there's a standoff zone of 200 miles. we're asking for that same kimed of consideration on the moon. landings can occur but not in your own backyard. >> reporter: let me ask you if i may how much money have you put into this? >> i stopped counting at $250 million. >> reporter: well, it's been seven years since cnbc was with bigelow in russia, since he put in two test habitats. but timing is everything. you don't want to be too far ahead spending too much money on habitats without taxis and you don't want to spend too much money on rockets and transport vehicles without someplace
