earth was young. all the things that are now visible. that is why this image struck me as so important because mars is one very similar to earth but back in the day was very much our cousin and two it would tell us a lot about earth. and that's the end. this is again what to me is a beautiful sedimentary lower bound of mount sharp. probably the most interesting thing features ever researched in the history of nasa in my view. [applause] thank you, thank you. >> any chance the rovers can get to the cave? >> the question is about caves and if rovers can get there. i would say yes. i don't know of any particular reason why there wouldn't be caves going up mount sharp. you may recall one of the images shows there was a big canyon coming down the mountain. i think it's probably easy to imagine that there would have been cavelike structures there and they would have been been protected from the radiation and potentially would have more organic that is still detectable. yes. i'm sorry can you say that again

no color. >> as we came into earth rise we were shocked, dumbfounded almost to see this earth coming up. we hadn't seen it before. we weren't briefed about it so there was a scramble for cameras. >> on christmas eve while orbiting the moon this picture was photographed by the landing. this shot has become one of the most reproduced photographs in history. >> it was the only thing in space that had any color. everything else was black and white. >> it was blue with white clouds and we were a long way from home and it was christmas. that was a very nostalgic moment. bill anders said it best. we came all the way to the moon and what perked our interest was the earth. >> i vaguely remembered that. i'll take the credit. >> many who have been in space, they're so medicinecaught up by what they see. there's no boundaries or lines between countries. >> it gives you a true perspective of our existence on earth. you look back at the earth and look how small it is. and how you can cover it up with your thumb and you realize we were so fortunate to have a body that was in the proper position fro

some would say it has yet to occur on earth. can we exist for a long time away from the earth? our experience with the iss, the international space station shows is possible for human beings to survive for many months away from plan to that -- away from planet earth however zero gravity of orbit causes a number of undesirable physiological changes, weakening of the bones, as well as creating practical problems. one would therefore want any long-term base for human beings to be on the planet. by digging into the surface, one would get thermal insulation and protection from cosmic rays. the planet or moon could serve as a source of materials that would be needed if the extra terrestrial community were to be self sustaining independent of earth. what are the possible sites of a human colony in the solar system? the most obvious is the moon. it is relatively easy to reach. we have already landed on it and driven across it in a buggy. on the other hand, the moon is small and without atmosphere or magnetic field to deflect solar radiation particles like on earth. there is no list wou

and they got the earth just at the exact time full one half of the earth lit by the sun behind the astronauts on the moon. that's the last time we have a full live picture of the earth. we've had many other pictures, but what they are is there's a strip here and a snippet there and they're all stitched together even though they're taken at different times to make a composite of what the earth simulated looks like. what this satellite discover, will do as its camera looks straight back at earth taking about 13 photographs in a 24-hour period. since the satellite is between earth and sun looking back with the telephoto lens, it will always see the sunlit side of the whole side of the earth as it rotates about its axis every 24 hours. and as it rotates about the sun every 365 days. that will give us a new perspective of the overview effect of what this home is that we call planet earth and what it looks like on a daily basis every two hours. madam president i yield the floor. a senator: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from hawaii. mr. schatz: thank you, madam president. the k

the earth is covered by ocean yet we know about the planets more than we do about the surface of the. my question to you is, why should we care about what's down there? >> we are just starting to understand how the ocean and the deep ocean is going to be on providing global scale. >> and it seems like a harsh landscape down there and very, very far down. and there are a few technologies that allow us to go down there and you have a chance to go down there. >> 10,000 feet, just to get a chance to go down there it's tricky. i had a chance in a submarine called alvin. take a look. >> as we look for signs of life in space, these sients of the scientists of the deep are unlocking the secrets of below. >> what we're doing is astronauts and planetary scientists trying to study the life on another planet. >> oceans cover city% of the earth's surface with only a small parnlg part of it explored. we are traveling to costa rica to begin research of an underwater mountain the dorado outcrop. while biologists like me tend to focus or interest on the biodiversity of costa rica hundreds of miles to

there is a point in space between the sun and the earth where the gravity of the sun and earth meet and there's a point number one, there are five others. the number one is where the satellite is in already, and this discover satellite will go there. 1.5 million kilometres from the earth to the son, a tenth of the distance. giving us a warning side. it will bep travelled by these particles from that place, where they ask, the signal will take a few seconds, but the particles take half an hour to an hour to come. and that's a warning time that we have to mitigate the effect of those particles and the electromagnetic radiation. by shipping it down in a controlled way, or shooting down the satellite, like g.p.s. communication. and then wait until the tomorrow comes and switch it on. if the storm hits they may be destroyed forever. >> is this a one-time warning, the satellite is frazzled and the fact that it's not working means that we know a solar storm is coming. is it more complicated. how does a satellite that warns us survive the blast of the solar particles? >> it's interesting. it th
