i think we are going to see that with james webb and the discoveries there. i think when the most powerful rocket ever launches at the cape later this year, i think that's going to galvanize a lot of tension to bring back a lot of memories of apollo and what happened to a couple of generations of students as a result. i think it's all going to go together, but i am willingly soliciting ideas of how to make it more relevant. one thing that nasa already does is it uses astronauts to get into the communities and talk kids. that inspires a lot of kids in the field of stem. i want to see what more we can do. if any of you have any ideas, i would welcome them. >> one thing we were able to do this year is double virtual internships in the stem program. we leveraged experience at this time of covid with other serving institutions with opportunities for kids across the country. without the lessons we would have learned during covid and in other times, we would not have been able to do what we did this year. there is a great opportunity therefore the spent -- the stem

in just a few months, the launch of the james webb space code that telescope which -- telescope whiche the light from the first galaxies that formed in the early universe after the big bang. think about that. the universe, almost, at 13.5 billion years ago. james webb will capture the light from about 150 one million years after -- 150 million years after the big bang. it will be looking back 13 billion -- 350 million years. to capture the light. and so, this is just a few of the things that you all have been working on and through now, to have a special treat for you. it is a special guest. captain kirk himself. to inspire you all to boldly go into the future. >> i want to congratulate bill nelson as a nasa's new administrator. we are all delighted that he is here.

he was such an instrumental figure and james webb was appointed by kennedy as the administrator of nasa he inherited as a civilian space agency that was pretty low morale. the years of being behind the soviet union and of seeing their own rockets explode and their own payloads destroyed and really kind of ground down the space agency to such a point when kennedy was elected even though he was talking big about again leapfrogging the soviets in space there was concern that he was just going to pull the thing up and allow the air force and other armed force branches to take over the space effort. for the agency and also its relationship with the white house and congress that someone who appreciated the kind of three-dimensional ability that john glenn brought to the space program. >> john sanders asks he described the role in developing the space program. can you speak to lbj's role and how he evolved? >> he is one of the great unsung heroes of the program as soon john kennedy stood there before congress and said i believe this country should send a man to the moon by the end of the decad

when we launched the james webb s telescope in november, it will peer back in time almost to the beginning and then we'll find additional information. we'll find -- >> okay. this is fascinatifascinating. we hope you'll come back on the show to discuss this with us. former senator bill nelson. thank you. your next hour of "cnn newsroom" starts now. >>> what are you telling families who are still hoping to find their loved ones? >> we are working 24 hours a day, non-stop. >> as more time goes by, i feel that it is just looking more and more dim. >> the delta variant is currently the greatest threat in the u.s. to our attempt to eliminate covid-19. >> people have under estimated president biden since day one. i expect that president biden will sign the infrastructure bill. >> while we can welcome this work and welcome collaboration with republicans but that doesn't mean that the president should be limited by republicans. >> we cannot continue to add on things we can't pay for. we're writing checks our kids can't ever cash. >>> welcome to cnn's live coverage of the tragedy in miami. i'm paula

they're working closely with nasa to reach those destinations and also teaming up on the james webb telescopemonths ago a french astronaut flew with two americans on the space a rocket to the international space station. europe's next generation of astronauts will get the gopher launch later next year. >> the european space agency will also choose a reserve team of up to 20 people. >>> we will head over to find out more on the weather. >>> a little bit for inland locations and not a whole lot but compared to what has happened with much of the west right now we are living in a little bubble of isolation and obliviousness to the fact that one of the worst heat wave in history for the west is happening this weekend, but here at home, you would not even know it. here it will be a little bit warmer tomorrow. we will warm up to near 90, which is a few degrees above average and nowhere near what you are doing in last week's heat wave that impacted areas east we also felt a little bit here. tomorrow we will go up to 88 in concord and it was 83 today. livermore is the same story to 85 and san jose 80.

it's called the james webb space telescope and scientists believe that it will be sensitive enough toe first light from those stocks and be sure to look up in the sky before you go to bed tonight, the last supermoon of 2021 will be on full display. we've got this picture from one of our viewers in millbrae. it's known as the strawberry moon, but it actually looks more gold and it gets its name in reference to the short harvesting season for the fruit. a supermoon occurs when a full moon is brighter and closer to earth making it look larger. the strawberry moon will be visible through saturday. all right. let's check in with the grease and find out more about what's going on there. yeah, i wish the skies are clear. so we could really enjoy the thank you to the viewers who sent us his picture, especially we so, thank you so much for this beautiful picture out of millbrae. you definitely captured this strawberry moon as best as we could tonight, especially under these gloomy conditions. >> june gloom once again impacting our bay area forecast temperatures widespread mid to upper 50's aro

newly released tapes from the kennedy library of a key 1962 discussion with nasa administrator james webb revealed that he repeatedly resisted kennedy's efforts to turn the u.s. space program into a narrowly focused lunar expedition. jfk wanted a propaganda victory, pure and simple. everything we do in space, he said, ought to be tied to getting to the moon out of the russians. he then in the table for the administered are saying that beating the russians to the moon is the top priority of the space agency and except for defense, the top priority of the united states government. there's another troublesome aspect to consider here. the apollo megaproject was primarily a civilian operation. with the exception of the astronauts themselves who were drawn mostly from the military. today such an undertaking will most certainly be handed to the armed forces with a flag officer placed in charge. see for example the use of generals for operation warp speed. our generals are good at everything it seems these days but winning wars. what does that say about the state of the republic? one where our tr

if that were not exciting enough, later in the year, we are going to launch the james webb telescope,hich is going to replace the incredible hubble stays -- space telescope that congressman aderholt mentioned, and i think you did also, mr. chairman. it has opened understanding of the cosmos to us that we never knew. just think that a position a million miles from earth in a bullion place, where it will carry out into space, capturing the light from far distant gout -- galaxies. i think we will be able to discover additional solar systems and possibly planets that will add to what we have already discovered with hubble. that we may replicate here in our solar system with our own planet, so that will be exciting. in the meantime, the president's budget that will be presented to you, and i've only seen the top lines, you see there is a big increase in science, there is an increase in s.t.e.m. two subject particularly interesting to our young people. remember what happened after the apollo mission, first mercury, then gemini, then apollo, and that inspired a whole generation of students.
