he reconnaissance office is the secret version of fafsa.pace agency builds secret satellites. the hubble telescope enters to other telescopes. they build classified reconnaissance satellites for themselves and serve the cia and also built satellites for the nsa. cory: the satellite that blew up a few weeks ago, debris headed toward the earth the telescopes side. >> what happened is, this is actually an air force satellite. defense meteorological satellite program flight 13. the satellite was launched in 1995. in early february, something happened. an astronomer in u.k. the pair of binoculars and i think the thing blew up. about 20 days later, the air force fessed up and confirmed this thing had indeed exploded. not really sure wiped her no one is really saying if anyone knows it all. it is actually not the first time one of these spacecraft had blown up. another one earlier, something similar happened to in 2004. cory: interesting. just access -- jeff bezos. the business around it, what will it be used for? will it be used for 3-d tv and co

this documentation, what is night merit-based money, academic prowess, s.a.t., act and need-based on fafsa gerri: gapping. tell me about that. >> difference between efc expected family contribution and what the school can give you to try to fill in the gap is the challenge for many. some schools can meet it 100%. as we talked about colleges that pay you back, some come in 80%. 60%, 50%. that is the difference. gerri: often not clear from the documentation. if you have a gap or fill that gap exactly what the gap is. >> how you can fill it. convenient to fill it with a loan but that might not be the best thing for students and families. without blinders into the loan process to take it. gerri: just underline, front-load something issue for incoming freshmen. >> it is an issue. you have to be savvy about that process. ask for the clarification we talked about. is the scholarship guaranteed for four years. what are the prerequisites. gerri: i hear you. maintain a gpa. goodness knows. might have to live on campus. >> you may. gerri: rob, thank you for coming on. helping us out. you're with us a
