sometimes they flew the space shuttle, most of the time, they flew the space shuttle with the bay pointedown toward earth and flying parallel to the earth, but on some missions, they actually flew with the tail pointing down to earth and the nose pointing out into space. you know, as if the shuttle were on a stick that originated at the center of the earth. a year after the "columbia" tragedy, president george w. bush announced that it was time to retire the space shuttle. once the international space station was completed. and at the time, that was projected to be 2010. it actually turned out to be 2011. but the idea was that during the shuttle era, access to lower orbit had become somewhat routine. it will never be perfectly routine because space flight is always dangerous, but it had become routine enough that nasa's pioneering work with the shuttle was done, and the thought was that space flight into lower orbit could be turned over to commercial operators. and that nasa should get back to pioneering and looking to the future. so from 2004 on, nasa was in the process of planning for t

and this airplane is the spad 16 that billy mitchell flew during those campaigns. there is a gunner behind him. the red circle with the silver eagle and the star symbolizes the fact that this is billy mitchell's airplane, the commander's airplane. after world war i was over, billy mitchell came back. and of course he became one of the great advocates for american military air power. that's the billy mitchell that you see in the statue, the historic billy mitchell who was famous for demonstrating that airplanes could sink battle ships and sort of predicting that air power was the wave of the future. he was also incredibly controversial, of course. he was in constant battle with naval officers who didn't always agree with billy mitchell's point of view. or when they did agree with his point of view, saw it moving more in the navy's direction than the army's. but certainly an incredible voice for american air power in the early years of the 20th century. in this case, we have a japanese balloon bomb, a fugo balloon bomb. in 1944 and 1945, as the americans had begunfir

we started with missions that first flew past the moon. but one of the next things we did is set a lander on the moon just to determine how strong is the soil. can something land there, or will it sink in? if humans are going to land, will they be able to walk on the moon? and i think we're quite confident about mars that humans will be able to move around on the surface of mars very well. the rovers have demonstrated how easy it is to do that. one other thing about the rovers is they don't operate alone and preprogrammed. there are whole teams here on earth that are charting out their itineraries and scheduling their activities. and when they are working on the mission, in their heads, they are on mars with the rover. and they even wear watches where they set their watch to martian time. the martian day is 24 hours and 39 minutes. so their day is just enough longer than ours that for the people working on earth, each day they start work 39 minutes later. the days creep ahead for them. so when this museum opened in 1976, we were wrapping u
