what is the value of the earth? well, it's infinite because if we destroy the earth's environment, there is no plan "b." there is no planet "b" that we can go to. how do you put a cost, you know, on the health of the environment? arguably you can't even do so. and in fact, it's that principle, that it's an infinite cost, when we start talking about those sorts of scenarios that leads some people to conclude that the precautionary principle applies here, that the potential impact of what we're doing is so potentially harmful to us, to other living things, to the planet that it's almost obvious that we need to mitigate this problem, that we need to take actions now to avert those catastrophic futures, potential futures. >> many people believe that truth will prevail over time. but do we have enough time left? >> so there's an urgency to this problem now unlike any time in the past. and there is still time to avert catastrophe. that's the good news. the bad news is there isn't a whole lot of time. and what it means is

if something this size hit the earth, it would be devastating.er: asteroids are composed mostly of rock; comets- - ice and dust. they come in all shapes and sizes. some look like small planets; others, giant dog-bones. for a long time, nobody thought they were worth tracking at all. >> mainzer: it wasn't thought that they really did hit the earth. astronomers debated for a long time about the nature of the craters on the moon. >> cooper: they thought that the craters on the moon were volcanic. >> mainzer: possibly, yeah. and it's only been fairly recently, within, you know, the last 50 years or so, that the field has really recognized that, yeah, impacts actually do happen. and not only do they happen on geological time scales, you know, millions and billions of years, but on human time scales, in some cases. >> cooper: the last major asteroid to collide with earth hit in 1908, in the tunguska region of siberia. it's believed to have been 40 yards wide and to have exploded in the air like a nuclear bomb, leveling 80 million trees in an area the s

the image she saw of the earth with the earth's atmosphere totally changed her life.d it was as if someone had taken a royal blue cran and drop a line around the earth. sometimes you change the metaphor. she would say the line is as witness the fuzz on a tennis ball. or she would face the earth spacesuit. that's our atmosphere, the only thing that's protecting us from the harsh reality of outer space. without the atmosphere, none of us would be here. we could not survive and that's when she began to wonders being fragility of the planet we live on a directed a huge amount of her life towards getting science and government and children interested in doing something about protect the mayor. that was just the beginning of sally's contributions to the planet into nasa. after the challenger explosion of core she served on the rogers commission which investigated that a nasa turns out became the source. i did not know this until i found this while researching the book. she was an early source of the critical revelation about the o. rings and their contribution to the accide

the first thing i'd bring is a commitment to and love of the earth. sustaining force of life enjoyed -- the earth as a sustaining force of life and joy for all things. and that i bring a passion for advocacy and change as action on the part of citizens and individuals. and then i like to bring people together. the fundamental precepts of that is not the win-lose paradigm, but that together we win. that means all sides first have to understand each other and then find a shared solution. women do that intuitively, whether we are raising children or running corporations or running advocacy organizations or running missions. that is who we are and that is how we lead. >> to all of us out there it is time we all held our hands together, regardless of our race, hard drive, our background, or our history -- our race, tried, background, or history. >> it just because it's directly women were excluded, it is in our hands to create another history in which we include ourselves and not in which we can't -- reconnect with the >> itr forces of the earth. is time t

as secretary just said, our planet earth is our shared hope. and unfortunately, the only one we have. ladies and gentlemen, for far too long human activityies and our single mighty pursuit for short-term gains and profits have had severe impacts on the health of our environment. these include harmful fishing practices, illegal fishing, dumping of waste in the ocean, industrial activity which have caused excessive carbon dioxide emissions and, of course, the list goes on. in combination, these activities have greatly affected the health of our oceans and our planet and, of course, the ecosystems. these have resulted in what we see now, depletion of fishery stocks, increasing ocean acidification, color bleaching, sea level rise, increased ocean temperatures and a change to our climate system. never in human history has the health of our oceans and our planet earth been so challenged. my country has often been referred to as a small island-developing state. but in reality we're a very large natural ocean state, and my people have been custodians o

nasa's earth science division just talked about a couple, one in particular, acromsat is which a earthbserving satellite that's gone on too long at this point. it's just gotten too old. the earth science division and all the other science divisions are actively replacing their constellations, keeping them as healthy as they can keep them but just because one satellite falls out of sky or goes to a graveyard orbit doesn't mean it won't be replaced, especially in earth sciences, if you pay attention to the program, you'll see new satellites going up. host: a viewer asked how much of nasa's budget is concerned with cleanup projects? guest: there's no easy answer for that because -- the bulk of it will be within the earth science division, certainly. if you're talking about climate change or global warming, then by definition you're talking about this planet, the $1.8 billion earth science division task. so they're the ones looking at things like carbon levels in the atmosphere. by the way, on july 1 they're going to launch an orbiting carbon observatory, one more satellite in the earth ob
