1, mach 2, mach 3, look at construction techniques, different types of wings but it's the x15 program that begins in 1959 that investigates the hypersonic regime, so speeds beyond mach 4. looking athe the partnership between industry, north america, the military, the u.s. air force, the primary benefactor of u.s. high speed aircraft and national advisory committee for aeronautics, quickly translation into nasa from 1959 to 1968 this program investigates the hypersonic reseem and it has to do that in testing the f15 as an aerospace plane. here is a vehicle designed to transition from the earth atmosphere into the edges of space so over the course of 199 flights there are three x15s built by north american. taking that formula and pushing the idea of especially higher and faster you look at a vehicle in its present form designed for the hypersonic regime so what that means is has to be a vehicle that can fly in the atmosphere and has traditional controls and allow it to maneuver in the atmosphere but also needs a new system and if you look at the nose of the aircraft you see those littl

and you have a succession of aircraft that are going to look into mach 1, mach 2, mach 3, look at construction techniques with different types of wings. but it's the x-15 program that begins in 1959 that investigates the hypersonic regime to speed beyond mach 4. so we're looking at the partnership between industry, northern american in this case, the military, the u.s. air force, the primary benefactor of high-speed aircraft, and the national advisory committee for aeronautics, which quickly transitiones into the national aeronautics and space administration, nasa. from 1959 to 1968 this program investigates the hypersonic regime. and it has to do that in testing this aircraft, the x-15, as an aerospace plane. not only are we talking about airplanes in the atmosphere, here is a vehicle designed to transition from the earth's atmosphere into the edges of space. and so over the course of 199 flights there are three x-15s built by north american. and so taking the formula and really pushing the idea of higher and faster, you're looking at a vehicle that in its present form, you see, is designed f

it's technically not paper mache because there's no paper in it. it's string.e're making paste out of flower, water and glue. we'll run the string through the glue. the balloon is a mold for the string. we'll wrap the string around the balloon and let it dry overnight. once it dries overnight it will be nice and hard and rigid to the point we can pop the balloon and still hold its shape. what we'll do is cut a hole 6 inches wide so the light fixture can go through into the globe. our final step is to screw could hooks into the ceiling on either side of the light fixture and hook the globe on them. instead of spending $200 at a high end store, we used string and glue and it cost us, get this, 14 bucks. is that crazy cool or what. go to live well network.com/knock it off. >> we have another hour of "action news" coming up. here's some of the stories we're working on for you, coughing sneezing and feeling down right lousy, we have details which state in the area is seeing a spike in flu cases. >>> plus, an after ladies and gentlemen -- avalanche of snow burst thro

amelia erhardt, bessie coleman, geraldine mach, jackie coleman. the list goes on.oded my imagination with the art of the possible. then in the smallest corner of the muse i saw them, my heros to this very day, the women air force service pilots of world war ii, america's first women military aviators. so the light bulb went off in my 12-year-old head, over 40 years ago prior to my visit in 1986 those women flew. they flew in service to their country. at that moment i realized i at that moment i realized i could, too. captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2008 captioning performed by vitac

so on october 14th, 1947, yaeger in this airport flies 714 miles per hour which is mach-1 in this aircraft and breaks that mythical sound barrier and helps initiate the thinking, the ideas of what becomes the jet age through the '50s and '60s. >> so back to my question for you. what are your questions? what are the unknowns? what answers are you looking for? >> aviation is a very interesting topic to be studying right now because a lot of ways that we've gone through 100 years. we're well past that after the flight of the wright brothers. many people said well, flight, the story has been told. it's a mature technology there is nowhere else you can go with that. what is fascinating to me is this idea what are the next steps. and how will that be traced as historical evolution today. we watching the first hypersonic scram jets taking to flight? are they going to lead to aircraft that actually will be able to enable you toe fly to new york to tokyo in two and a half hours? how are we going to track that? are we seeing those technologies, those ideas being formulated? are we aware of them? >>

then they allege further to mach it all substantially allegations that the government must be intercepting every communication at every choke point that it does monitor, but the problem with that, and it is how the internet work internet works, each of the choke points where the submarine cables come through, each submarine cable had sub cables, and each of the sub cables has up to 1,000 fiber optics fibers on which the communications trans transit. they don't, and the lead declaration that we submitted to the district court explains that there is either a technological matter, you would not have to -- the government would not have to collect the communication on the whole sub cable. it could collect just on the sub cable. and plaintiffs have offered no allegations that showed that the government must be collecting everything that passes through on even sub cables. so they have not met that -- >> i don't understand how the government would do a very good job if it -- if it proceeded as you suggest. if you cannot, and they want information more than the to/from, because i mean they might ha

he didn't come out with his usual sort of, you know, mach ism o and vengeance.made his opinion clear and i think it was echoing a lot of what the members were already thinking and the public was thinking. >> just the opposite of that. what i find so fascinating is that the speaker and the majority leader who were very wary of donald trump to be their nominee in the first place, never mind president, found not only a friend and a partner in the white house, but somebody who can help them finally with their rank and file. certainly i'm sure the calls to constituents -- from constituents were a big part of this, but you remember being in those meetings when president obama was in the white house and the leadership was trying desperately to control the rank and file. and there was no way they could do it and that's why john bainer is no longer speaker. now all of a sudden they have somebody who -- won very well in all of their districts saying, excuse me, don't do this. and they're like, okay. >> the one interesting thing is this wasn't the rank and file backed vent

simply sit on the couch at home, and use my mobile device for telemedicine to see a doctor, i want to mach sure that we as an employee offer all of the choices to the team members and the price points to allow them to make the decisions. those are all parts that we as an employer invest in to make sure they are available to make sure that we have the choices available. so that the key point they want you to take away is that offering an hsa is a choice and a really good thing, but we need to be surround it with that infrastructure to allow pore the good decisions. so what we have seen in our experience in this space is that our team members are using the hsa. we've seen the usage double in the last six years. also our team members are contributing to their hsas. in addition to the money we contribute as well as wells fargo with the wellness accounts, 70% of our team members are putting their money into the hsas, and that amount has been steadily growing over the years. and more importantly, the care is continuing. any time you use a high deductible health care plan, the concern is that the
