nasa has been a leader. as i said many times the human mission to mars is the ultimate destination in our solar system formed humanity. programre exploration is a line to support this goal. you will hear more about the specifics of our plan from some of our senior leaders from our human exploration space technology and science commission directorate later on today and through the week. i want to set the stage by giving you an overview of how nasa's overall strategy supports our scientific and human exploration of the red planet, and how the backing we have received from both the president and congress moves the ball forward. as many of you may recall three years ago president obama paid a visit to the kennedy space center, where he set a goal to sending a humans -- to sending humans to an asteroid by 2025 and a mission to march by the -- mission to mars by the 2030's. all of which free us to start work on building the next generation of rockets and a multipurpose crew vehicles needed to take our pastor not b

"oh, my god, i'm an astronaut, and you're dying of jealousy." so, what kind of things are they...? will you stop that? i can't help it. i feel like a teen heartthrob. you know, sheldon, i used to cut my brother's hair. i could do it for you. penny, i know you mean well, offering the skills of the hill folk, but, um, here in town, we don't churn our own butter, we don't make dresses out of gunny sacks, and, uh, we sure as shootin' don't get our hair cut by a bottle-blonde... sheldon, be nice. i'm sorry, it's the bad boy attitude that comes with this hair.

nasa does not have the technological capability. we are on a path that will get us there. it is a path we have got to follow. they are going to an alternative for building the systems we need. we would like it to mars if ever to be quite honest. that is one man's vision. that terrible alternative does my commitment to enable my granddaughters to go to mars. one last question. >> good morning. man the falcon nine booster, why did you [inaudible] thesehave need for vehicles over time. when we looked at using atlas, delta, other systems, the number required begin to make it very difficult in decrease the probability. there will be people who will talk later about how we happen to get where we are today. we will just see how it goes. we can talk about a falcon nine. that is not what we need for deep space expiration. >> is is going to cost a lot meetwhen you could just your astronauts in orbit. >> you're talking about a totally different strategy. are you going to talk about this? ok. you can ask a variety of people how do we get where we are today? haven't a we get to a singl

but don't worry, because in this case, nasa has a solution. not nasa, it's you. hopes citizen scientists will help them locate the missing astroids so they can capture and deflect them. earth's survival depends on what can be described as america's most wanted for space stuff. i know i'm going to sleep easier. if you have information about one of the missing astroids that could destroy life, nasa says please go to nasa.gov and reach out to them. >>> now to tonight's outer circle, where we go to our sources around the world. tonight, we go to london where the final preparations are being mutt in place for the arrival of the newest royal. max foster is there and i asked him where this little baby will be born. >> this is where we expect the duke and duchess of cambridge to present their baby sometime in july. this has been confirmed by a source that the planned hospital for this royal birth. the couple don't know whether or not they're having a boy or a girl i'm told. in fact, they won't find out until after the baby is born. so we'll have someone coming out, with

>> we've been hearing all this talk about things hurdling through space toward earth and nasa is trying to keep an eye on a lot of them. this is why. if you went to arizona to meteor crater, not far from flagstaff, you could see this. this is a crater left by a meteorite that hit a long time ago. from this edge to that edge is about a mile. the explosion would have wiped out almost any city we know of. this was made by a meteorite only about 50 yards across. so how big is the one that just passed us by? was it this size? no. this is the size of the one that blew up over russia in february that scared everyone half to death. was it more like this, maybe the size of, say, a football field? well, no, that's the size of the one that flew past the earth with no impact the same day. the asteroid that just passed us is much more like this size. absolutely massive. traveling some 20, 24,000 miles an hour. this truly would be cataclysmic to the earth. and that's why nasa is keeping an eye on all these things in space these days. >> glad they're keeping an eyement thank you very much x tom forema
