chomsky is a professor at the massachusetts institute of technology and a prominent critic of to know what i say she. must be very busy i suppose. as you can say. ok. greene who was listening to something in the same minute is speaking of the seventy's. when the beginnings of concern with the environment began to be raised among the general population so of course our systems after it's on the triumph if they're going to maintain their control it's a bad lot is the power of corporates today bears on. power is based on their control of the capital on their control of investment decisions. there are massive influence on government which derives from the private eye or that basically the nature of state capitalism but it's extended and around under the new liberal policies of the last generation which are short with us for that and we have all those companies. telling you that they have only have sustainable products that they're extremely fair and doing their best interests me is how do we need to deal with green eyes to recognize that the proposals may be worthwhile so maybe it's good

us to do what the next time one of our previous contributes is lawrence korb john timoney from massachusetts from the research facility of the misuse institute of technology was saying there will be retaliation on the parts of iran but it will probably be asymmetric so everything will be tightened up a little bit around us and bases u.s. naval installations around this region surely no. you know there's no doubt about it i don't think either iran or the united states wants an open you know conflict like when we invaded iraq for example than in 2003 yes there are a lot of ways if they can do it they can go back and cause problems again in the in the in the persian gulf with the oil oil shipments they can conduct more exercises with the russians and chinese which you know they have been doing again they might attack some of the facilities. in saudi arabia so yes i mean there are a lot of ways that they can retaliate because i think both sides do not want to direct confrontation because if that happens nobody wins what does this do to the relationship between iran and iraq. well i think it's going to merely put more strains on it that was already strained wh

the development of a space suit for the moon and mars which is being pursued at the massachusetts institute of technology in boston. professor david neumann is trying to adapt the old spacesuit to the conditions on the moon because right now the current spacesuit is 140 kilos it's for space station it was for shuttle so that's ok in weightlessness but when we get to the moon and mars we're in a gravity environment the moon only has about 17 percent of the earth's gravity allowing large leaps but these can backfire especially in heavy spacesuits. how do i make someone much more like an olympic athlete how do we perform and not use my waist my energy working against the suit but put all that energy into performing so you really have to think about a completely different design the only other way to keep someone alive and put pressure on them is to basically put it right on to the skin so that's called mechanical counterpressure. 'd davis version of the suit is skin tight exerting pressure on the body and the right pressure within the body this means that human tissue is not stretched and blood doesn't clot
