first of all, when you are near earth where i was, in the low earth orbit, earth is this gigantic magnetic you can't take your eyes off of it it's so beautiful. you can describe it. i tried. i did a photography book and i've written this book and until you see it with your own eyes, you don't have that emotional like the planet is over there and i'm over here. there's something profound about that. but i didn't see ourselves as insignificant. i saw ourselves as we have this planet there is no plan b if you look out it is just a sea of blackness light years away we will never be able to get to anytime soon to say the least. so, there's plan a and there is no plan b anywhere else so we have to take care of plan a. that's would i came away with. >> it feels like if we could get more people to have that experience, it would wipe away a lot of the problems that we have here on earth to just see the planet as you say as a planet that we have to -- >> my crewmate, samantha, pointed out, she said we are all on the spaceship earth and we should act like we are crewmate and not just passengers and t

the key to spearing earth does have a stake in mining. may lie in the planet's ultimate threat and asteroids. this guy certainly is no longer living. his crystal reeky, he was the co-founder in chief asteroid miner of planetary resources. and the 1st company for me to be explicit goal of mining asteroids. he didn't have an asteroid named after him, so i'm very grateful to have 136 and the wiki some of the celestial bodies close to where i am credible treasure troves. holden, flocking all are very heavy, and over time beach sank into a private school. that's why they're so rain on g.r. it's crossed but again, because the x. rays don't have much gravity that didn't happen on asteroids, and in some cases they're 100 times as much as a 15. for example, i'm not sure the best close to our planet was just thinking it to have more platinum than it's ever been mined. the earth takes 16 cycle. which wald said to be worth $700.00. until now these was just theoretical because space travel was just too expensive. but that's changing a seat on a space

where i was in low earth orbit, earth is a giant magnetic you can't take your eyes off the thing, it is so beautiful, you cannot describe it i tried and i tried to help make and imax movie and written this book, until you see with your own eyes you don't have the emotional, the planet is over there and i am here, there is something profound about that. but i did not see yourselves as insignificant, i saw ourselves as we had this planet, there's no plan b, if you look at plan b it is a sea of black that are light years away that we will never be able to get to anytime soon to say the least. so there is plan a and no plan b anywhere else so we have to take care plan and that was a perspective that i came away with. >> it feels like if we could get more people to have that experience it would wipe away a lot of the problems that we have here on earth to see the planet as one plan a and what we have to live on together. >> samantha put it really well, she said were all in spaceship earth and we should ask a crewmates and not just passengers, i think that's a great perspective to have, i

that's why they're so rain on the earth's crust. but again, because the asteroids don't have much gravity that didn't happen on asteroids, and in some cases, they're 100 times as constant. as a 15, for example, an asteroid. the best close to our planet was this thing needed to have more platinum and it's ever been mined. the earth takes 16 cycle which wald to be worth $700.00? until now these were just theoretical because space travel was just too expensive. but that's changing a seat on a space, x. walk at least 3 times cheaper than it was a space shuttle. he says, started the new gold rush. it doesn't. and to have larry page, the co-founder of google put his wealth behind planetary resources that you're after and you company joined the race to my nostrils. in 2017, nasa announced he would pay a visit to the site. you're going she's leaving the i can stand. she's the one in leading such a mission. thank you, washington. i'm wrong here. thank you. but although the program is not about the asteroid mining, it could lay the groundwork

in this time of pandemic and climate change here on earth, is space exploration a potential lifeline or a massive vanity project? jacob bleacher in washington, dc, welcome to hardtalk. hey, thanks for having me. glad to be here. it's a real pleasure to have you. and i want to begin with that nasa announcement of little more than a week ago, where we learned that you guys have discovered a form of water on the sunlit part of the moon's surface. it seems extraordinary to me that we're still learning such basic things about the moon. so, just explain what this actually means. sure. absolutely. so, what we did was confirm that there is actual water in some of the sunlit areas of the moon. we've made some observations in the past that have identified hydrogen and oxygen, but it's difficult to determine from those observations if it's the kind of water that you would drink or maybe some other mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, like hydroxyl or maybe something more like drain cleaner. so, those are two very different things with respect to how we would access them, use them, study them. so, th

first of all when you're near earth or i was, low earth orbit, earth is like this giant magnetic, you can't take your eyes off you think. you can'tdecide . i tried, i made but i did not feel that book. and until you see it with your own eyes don't have the emotional, like the planets over thereand i'm here . there's something profound about that . but i didn't see ourselves as insignificant. i sawourselves as you have this planet . there's no plan the. if you look at plan b it's a sea of black light years away that we'renever going to be able to get to . anytime soon. to say the least. so there plan a and there is no plan b anywhere else so we got to take care of plan a, that was the perspective i came away with. >> it feels like if we could get more people to have that experience, it would wipe away a lot of problems that we have here on earth to see the plan as this one as is a plan a. that we have to live on together. >> nasa put it well, my crewmate samantha in beautiful planet. she said we're all on spaceship earth and we should act like we are crewmate and not just passing and i

on earth here, we have a pandemic. and i'm concerned about the effects of that pandemic on our aerospace industry about potentially losing a whole class of early career scientists. and losing companies that are struggling. i see them in my state of connecticut. and in particular, in the area of aeronautics, i note that the nasa investment in aeronautics is just 3% of the total budget. i wonder whether you think that's sufficient, given the important impact of aeronautics , not only on scientific development, but also, quite honestly, on jobs and economic progress, connecticut is known -- at least we know ourselves as the aerospace alley. role inry proud of our aeronautics and aerospace. and i'd like to know, what do you think that budget should be increased? a lot hashink that changed in our country, as you have said. we think about the coronavirus pandemic and the challenges and that has had a devastating effect on aeronautics in general. i do believe that, at this point in american history, now is not the time to res

of planet earth.the moon as a chronometer, really, to kind of age events in the solar system through time. so we count craters — the more craters there are, the older we think the surface is. the younger that surface, the fewer craters there are. and we can extrapolate out when we look at venus or mercury, and look at mars. but you need very hard data points, and that's what these rock samples do. because we look at the craters that are around and say that's 3 billion years old, and then we can use that as this chronometer to go and look at some of the other planets. which brings us into the space race, which china is actively engaged in. jonathan, we're out of time, but thank you very much indeed for talking through that one. soon to star in marvel‘s first asian superhero film, michelle yeoh says it has taken time for hollywood to offer more diverse roles to asian actors. named on this year's bbc 100 women list, michelle yeoh talked to us about her work with the un as a goodwill ambassador, and how s

the whole goal is to commercialize our activities in low-earth orbit. nasa wants to be one customer of many customers in a robust commercial marketplace for human spaceflight and low-earth orbit. but we don't just want to be one of many customers, we want to have numerous writers competing against each other on costs, innovation, and on safety, ultimately bringing more access to space than ever before. we have had success with commercial re-supplies of the international space station, where we are buying services to get our guttman and hardware -- our equipment, hardware, and other to the iss. tomorrow's flight is the next major milestone in this development. the next big phase is commercial space stations themselves. that is where we have private capital, an asset as a customer as well, ultimately capitalizing funding and moving forward for this new era in human face flight -- spaceflight, where nasa is one of many customers, and numerous providers compete on cost and innovation. the ultimate goal is to have more resources, do things where there is not

tracked from season to season with thrown out astronauts say they have a very different relationship to earth once they've been to the i assess. the view from a satellite is a bit similar. we can see how africa is doing or south america. the view from far away enables us to see connections more clearly by the victory on the copernicus, satellites are big and heavy, they weigh tons, it takes years to build them, and each is unique. many components 1st have to be specially developed that makes the satellites expensive, hundreds of millions of year as in each unlike many satellites. they can be as small as a wine bottle. the advent of small satellites marks a new era. there are a lot cheaper, but still provide important services. planet labs is an earth imaging company in san francisco that already uses many satellites to photograph the globe. students throughout europe are learning to build the little devices. one class of small satellite, nano satellites. a team at berlin's technical university devised a project to deploy 4 of them to enable faster transfer of large amounts of data. they were

you talk about earth one and earth two. well, look, a lot of our fellow americans live in the information ecosystem of earth two. and they're going to be filled with conspiracy theory and hate that's going to seek to delegitimize joe biden and seek to launder information into perhaps the republican senate and going to undermine this nation's capacity to solve problems and further divide us. >> you touched on something really interesting, ben. sorry, i didn't want to interrupt you but you did touch on something interesting. the whole point of a peaceful transition of power is that the world knows that's how it's going to be so don't mess with the united states between election day and inauguration day because it's all good. we've got this thing sewn up and the two parties are talking to one another. the danger of not sending that message is real. >> it's absolutely real because there's two things you have to do in a transition. one, maintain the credibility of the united states government so no one tests us from a national s

thanks as climate disasters continue to ravage the earth. indigenous people have been standing on the front lines of the climate crisis suffering from the most devastating impacts of. i'm a change from one doris to india. they've been leading the fight against environmental destruction, but all leaders heed their call to me to discuss this is indigenous rights activists and economists. when all do, she's a member of the, on a nation and lives on the white earth reservation in minnesota. well, duke has been a 2 time us green party vice presidential candidate, and as executive director of the group on earth, the earth forthcoming book is titled to be a water protector and will be released this december when i thank you for joining me on friday. so according to an environmental n.g.o.s, global witness, 2019 was a terrible year for environmental activists around the world. apparently that was a record here and the number of them that were killed a 3rd of those fatal attacks targeted specifically indigenous people who make up less than 5 percent

orbit, or neo, for short, 700 kilometers about the earth. the satellite sentinel one keeps a watchful eye like its radar images are available within one hour. in the event of natural disasters, for example, they can help rescue workers get an overview. but the technology is also useful for conservationists. for more on that, let's return to our scientists in germany. and here at the ecological field station of the university of that book, head and your camilla are inspecting their latest cotch. not a single light truck picked up a good 2 dozen different moths and beetles in just one night. even in a single sample like this, identifying the animals can be a challenge. and then comes the hard part identifying with some species that's very usual, like some which is large and distinctive looking. but a lot of species are small and gray and all the same, their genitalia will have to be examined. and compared with reference samples, which is a lot of work, we're not talking about 1020 or 100, but between 10500000 specimens to be determined in the

narrator: on this episode of "earth focus," climate change is forcing people to migrate in search of food and shelter, altering traditional lifestyles across the globe. in tijuana, mexico, haitians fleeing devastation are building a neighborhood as their dreams of entering the united states dwindle. while in mongolia, the traditional herding lifestyle is threatened as drought forces a new generation to the capital in search of opportunities. [makelson derilus speaking spanish] [greetings exchanged in spanish] [man on podium speaking spanish] [man speaking spanish] [both speaking spanish] [derilus speaking] isabel rivera-collazo: we think of migrants and refugees as these people that are coming to take over our country. we don't see that these are the people that got to the point that it was so hard for them to survive that it was easier to face death than to stay. because that's what they are facing when they decide to get on a boat or they decide to cross a border or they decide to cross the desert, they're facing their own death, they're facing the death of their loved ones, their

the earth trembles beneath them at the brink. not all are honeymooners. most come to view the work of nature and then go on to see the sights that western new york state can offer. the great lakes wash the feet of many cities, milwaukee, detroit. this one is cleveland on ohio's rim. it has a thumbprint, as all cities leave their thumbprints across the nation. ringed by parks, it has a lakeside stadium, museums and a famous symphony. at water's edge, huge boats unload their hulls. these cargos were forged of steel. there's steel in pittsburgh, too. and where the allegheny forms the ohio river, there lies a golden triangle. and just beyond a skyscraper of learning, the university of pittsburgh. the state of pennsylvania is not all steel and gold. you can discover quiet amish country. here, history still writes with a quill pen. there's also philadelphia, where william penn looks down upon his quaker city. it, likewise, was the home of good ben franklin and is the site of independence ball and the bell of liberty. here, discover a museum that's one of our na
