nasa. it became an entire industry of consumer products industry and now we are carrying the complete works of beethoven on the lapel pin, listening to a on headphones. another one, lasik surgery. nasa made it affordable and accurate. affordable and accurate. that is important when your eyeballs are concerned and that came about from the docking mechanism between the space shuttle itself and the space station. accurate, affordable, with high precision. the laser guidance system made these lineup was applied to the surgery. that is why people today have accurate site with inexpensive fees, credit nasa. the grooves on pavement on turns, that was nasa. no one thought to do that before nasa thought to do it. with this landing of the space shuttle on a long runway. the space shuttle does not -- it can reverse its engines so it coast to a stop. you do not want it sliding down the runway. the other thing, the intracochlear device. it links to the nerves inside your ear, developed by nasa. the wate

but i find no mention of nasa in his files.cts of westinghouse employees that radus might have known. maybe i can contact one of them and they can help me sort this thing out. hi, this is elyse luray calling from history detectives. i make several calls before i can find someone ray radus worked with at westinghouse. yes. i find former lab technician pat boccardi in monroeville, pennsylvania. howdy, elyse, nice to see you. hello, nice to meet you. okay, thank you. have a seat. tell me, how'd you know ray radus? well, we happened to work in the same department. ray was an electrical engineer. now, have you ever seen this boot before? yeah, i think so; i think i worked on that. you worked on it? yeah. and he designed it; it was his idea. it was my job to get it all together. i did the coils, i cut the magnets. i took it all down to a local shoemaker shop and had them sew it to the bottom of the ski boot. i haven't seen it for 51 years. pat says it was a thrilling time to work at westinghouse, developing radar to help gemini capsu

the nasa to say this is happening and there's nothing you can do about it right in fact. what you were saying i mean i was reading up on this a little bit and you were saying like our computers are our system actually gets hacked i think i found fifty four hundred computers have essentially been hacked and i know that he said security incident occurred that resulted in the instant installation of malicious software on these computers or on authorized access into the system i mean what could happen if this will be you know just a hacker could control the international space station. or rational masses a bunch of rockets i think and other sorts of cool stuff so it's not so it's not something you want to just put in the hands of anyone and it's different than what we've been seeing with anonymous with a few lots of like i'm stuck seeing a d.d. o. s. attacks will take down a website will cripple our government web site will go in and will go to a local small time or even big time bomb force needed to publish a bunch of e-mails it's not a case of stratfor yeah it's not just co

not only had johnson gui eadated nasa in 1958, he also of the president's space liaison with nasa. more important, the slp understood that -- vice president also understood that space travel promised greater benefits to the country than schewas keenly aware that space flight could inspire nthused with john glenn's orbit that he had flown to the rsonally acp to cape canaveral, and johnson wanted to be recognized publicly as the admiraen glenn and his family later made their triumphant squeezedhe united states into the front seat of the astronaut's open convertible. people lining the streets on that rainy day in washington president as they did on glenn. lyndon johnson's massive build and large gestures all but he looked like a big, excited blood hound, all ears and and insistent head. before the meeting with geri cobb and janie hart, johnson quickly scandal the background materials liz carpenter had prepared. she urged the vice president to give the women some encouragement and drafted a letter to nasa's james johnson'. the letter, while not a ringing endorsement of women astronauts

because the head of nasa reports to the present and hands nasa a budget and that is what you have tospend. i kind of like the fact that if i'm not in the command chain of the president, i'm just a citizen, that means the president works for me. and under those conditions -- no. [applause] you can motivate, not just me, all of us. under those conventions you motivate the electorate to demand that which is in the best interest of this nation and to the extent that we fail at that, our leaders will fail. >> how do you get past this well-paid propaganda of anti-education? you just can't get news coverage. >> i am happy to say that before -- there or for youtube videos of me, one that went by role in the last few days with 2 million views that is celebrating what there is to know about space. it's a measure of the appetite the people that people have for this adventure, and i tweet, tweet creepy weird things sometimes, but i tweet. and every tweet resonates with people, not every tweet that many tweet resonate aced on their followers so i have like 360,000 twitter followers and it's not j

very interesting funding for nasa has of course meant to cut back in recent years but nasa still spends around one point five billion dollars every year on i.t. related activities and that includes about fifty eight million dollars on security so i want to talk about this and to help me do that i'll bring in our cyber expert in chief andrew blakers also part of our web seen here at r t i had a bit more of a graph about all this than i do. all right no biggie though i mean this is nasa so of course i would imagine that most of the information on the computer some sort of stuff at least would be encrypted right i mean though that would make sense because the thing is in common species that they would want to protect these things so what happened this week was inspector general to try before congress and said you know there's a couple different problems with nasa right now and they were very big problems not only did you see that there was a slow pace encrypting use but he just admitted done right the that nasa is incredibly vulnerable to cyber attacks that only are the incredibly volatile

>> that depends on who at nasa you talk to. aids great of research at nasa history office in washington, d.c. those folks couldn't be more forthcoming, wonderful archivists there. also just in very recent years, nasa as part of their public website have included a section on women in space that includes "the mercury 13" as part of the steps that led to sally ride and ultimately to eileen collins. but the last time, i should preface that by saying the last time i was at the air and space museum at the smithsonian, there were no public governmental exhibits acknowledging the merc 13 or cape canaveral. it's in some pockets but not in others. yes? >> once the soviets put a woman in space, was there no pressure from the american government to say, well, we can do that, too. it's not the stereotype of the russian woman steroided and trained and all that. i would think there would have been a counter-revolution to push the program forward. >> that's an interesting point. no, there wasn't. in fact, some of the public comment from nasa

it is it tough crunch for nasa. the shielding on board the international space station can withstand hits of space debris as small as 1 inch. that does not sound like that big of a deal, but when it is going 12,000 miles an hour, it is a big deal. it is like a bullet. it can shield against those, and this sounds remarkable, but they can track space debris as tiny as 10 inches and larger from the earth and be able to keep track of the objects, but the big worry is not-so-sweet spots between 1 inch and 10 inch, they will not be able to track it. host: las vegas, nevada, chandler, on our line for republicans. caller: good morning, gentlemen. i am a young republican, born in the early-1990's. i have a question. how do you feel with the amount of funding in nasa -- how will that affect my generation and younger generations and do you think president obama is doing nasa any good by keeping money away from it? i really do not myself. i believe he needs to get out of office as soon as possible, but that is besides the point

in 1961 just as nasa launched its first man into space, 13 women underwent secret testing in hopes of becoming america's first female astronaut. they passed the same battery of tests at the legendary lovelace foundation as did the mercury 7 astronauts but they were summ y summarily dismissed. martha ackmann tells the story of these remarkable women, all cracker jack pilots and patriots, sometimes sacrificed jobs and marriages for a chance to participate in america's space race against the soviet union. martha ackmann spoke extensively with these women and interviewed chuck yeager, john glenn and others at the white house with firsthand knowledge of the program. a provocative tribute to those extraordinary women. the mercury 13 is an unforgotable story of resilience, inextinguishable hope. we're greatly indebted to martha ackmann for the hard work in telling this story and her compelling writing which makes this book a fascinating read. please join me in welcoming martha ackmann.

and that can't happen fast enough for nasa, which retired the shuttle last summer and now has to payd america's next manned spacecraft, a contest he believes he has the right stuff to win. when the final shuttle mission ended last july, for the first time in three decades, the united states had no way to launch astronauts into space. it was the end of one era, and the beginning of another. instead of nasa designing the next manned spacecraft, the white house decided that private industry should design, build, and fly it, opening space to commercial development. one of the companies vying for that contract is spacex. elon musk is the founder and c.e.o. is what we are experiencing at this moment in time the turning point in man's reach for space, going from governments to private companies like yours? >> elon musk: i think we're at the dawn of a new era, and it's... i think it's going to be very exciting. what we're hoping to do with spacex is to push the envelope and provide a reason for people to be excited and inspired to be human. >> pelley: musk is 40 years old, a naturalized amer

we talked about nasa before. they compromised the space agency's computers. now, a former shuttle astronaut wants to know how hackers gain access to what should be the world's most secure computers? to get answers we have brought in dave atile. he is a computer hacker whose business it is to know where people are on these computers. dave, how easy is this? how easy is it for a hacker to gain access to a computer such as nasa's computer system? >> i think it's funny that he said that nasa should have the most protective computers. historically they have been hacked over and over again for the past decade. so i don't know that maybe they should, but they certainly don't have the world's most protected computers. certainly, i think the bad news is that every computer can be hacked and possibly the worst news is that every computer basically is being hacked all the time. you know, in terms of how easy it is, i would have to say that even if it's a little bit technically challenging, it's definitely doable and you saw that with the vatican hack. i guess even if yo
