with the cosmological argument, has some of the cosmological data from the world of science, the hubbell telescope, been helpful or contradictory? >>oh, it's been very helpful. you see, during the middle ages, when there was no scientific evidence for example for a beginning of a universe, philosophers presented purely philosophical arguments against the infinity of the past or an infinite regress of causes, but with the advent of modern astrophysical cosmology, it turns out that there is very good empirical evidence for the truth of the premise that the universe is not a necessarily existing being, but is contingent in a radical way, namely that it began to exist. so we have both philosophical arguments and scientific confirmation of the key premise of the cosmological argument. i don't think any historian who is a purely natural... >bill gives two versions of the cosmological argument. one, anything that exists must have a reason for its existence, two, anything that begins to exist must have a cause. bill is confident this gets to god. i was once confident; i should hear the other sid

it was determined that hubbell had a lens problem once it was on orbit. nassau analyzed the problem come up develop the correction, produced it here on earth and launched into space and installed it on an orbiting spacecraft that is a perfect example of what nasa does on a regular basis. if you can identify the problem, nasaq can solve it. those will be on display here in the museum very shortly. we invite you to a look. i would also like to mention that major general charles cole of the united states marine corps was confirmed by the president as the minister of nasa. i know you are here. please stand up. -- the administrator of nassau. asa. one year ago the smithsonian institution welcome to its 12 secretary. over the past year dr. has gotten to know the 19 museums, 20 libraries, nine research centers, the national zoo. he has traveled to smithsonian operations including panama and the united kingdom. his vision is for the life of the world. his moving forward with a major strategic planning effort. he wants to engage new audiences. he has shown great s

we brought two cameras back to life, and we put them in hubbell, so it is really a brand-new telescope i felt so good about that that i sort of said to myself, "you are the man." [laughter] you know, and, "good luck on the voyages." there was really incredible satisfaction that we had achieved all of those challenges and that we were sending hubble off on what was a brand-new adventure. >> well said. [applause] >> i have a question. is it possible to have absolute zero in space? >> no, it is not, and it turns out that that is a really deep question. it is one that involves physics that is totally outside of our own experience. it really gets down to the question of what is space, time, and matter, and although we do not have a great understanding of that, the real answer is that you never can really achieve a steady state of absolute zero. understanding of that. the real answer is that you can't achieve a steady state of absolute zero. >> it is still darn cold out there. >> my question is for john. john, you never spoke about what that second tool was to get the bolt off -- to get the

from the six apollo landings to skylab to the cooperation of the soviet union to the hubbell telescope, nasa has touched and improved nearly every aspect of our way of life. those who believe that government should sit on the sidelines need not look back 40 years, but can look at everything that nasa has done and what it continues to do today. today nasa in many ways is more important than ever. as we work toward a carbon-free economy, we forget that that's s bidding the first large-scale windmills in the 1970's. much of the early work -- the early wind turbine technology development was done at plum brook enternorthern, ohio, near sundusky, ohio. the united states is in a sprint to lead the world in clean energy. nasa's alternative fuel research laboratory, its solar powered aircraft path finder plus, its solar space program are just three of the many nasa clean-energy programs. we can create a carbon-free world and nasa can lead the way just like it has in aeronautics and space flight. we must never forget the men and women at nasa and their work to put apollo 11 on the moon. i'm pro
