while nasa has been on path to mars for decades. a critical national policy statement in support of our strategy was on april 15th 2010 during a visit by president obama to the kennedy space center. where he challenged the nation to send humans to ans an -- an over the past several years, nasa hasoqc42Ñ$rñr been develope capabilities to meet those goals through a bipartisan plan agreed to by the administrationet @3 congress b in a 2010 authorizatn act and embraced by the international space community in the 2013 global exploration road map. while robotic explorers studied mars, nasa's plan for the human exploration mars begins in lower orbit aboard the international space station. our spring board to the exploration of deep space. even as we speak, astronauts aboard the i.s.s. are helping us learn how to safely execute missions into space. this means an expanded market for private space companies, more ground breaking research in science discovery and microgravity and opportunities to live, work and learn in space over longer period

quickly nasa got on board and outsourcing became the name of the game. nasa now has an $800 million dollar program to develop the commercial space market. its still taxpayer money - but the contracts have gone to private companies like space x, blue origin, sierra nevada and orbital sciences. none of these companies about communicating their mission statements and accomplishments. space x successfully delivered its first payload to the international space station last year, live-streaming it all online. >> low earth orbit will be more and more, as we progress into the 21st century, a realm of private sector activities. >> so who are the men leading the charge? >> richard branson, multibillionaire. paul allen. multibillionaire. jeff bezos. multibillionaire. larry page. multibillionaire. elon musk. >> elon musks, the jeff bezos, the paul allens, myself, diamandis, all of us who are in this cause right now, i believe, come from a place of hope and possibility. >> rick tumlinson is the ceo of deep space industries, one of two asteroid mining companies in the

go to the faa to ask permission so he is bypassing nasa completely and we can put nasa to bed except for the unmanned explorers. >> talking about the tesla designer and other things that are visionaries about but bypassing nasa, does that rattle washington? bus they say nasa is the way we do this stuff. >> well, nasa, of course, is controlled by congress, and the president so that's the way we have done it in the past. although obama kept saying that, let's go commercial, and it's like anything else, instead of having a government airplane, we would have a private airplane. >> sounds like a dream to me. when we last spoke, person-to-person, putting this space special together you lamented the fact we have given up something we did ourselves, you proved in apollo 13, took what looked like certain disaster and made an achievement

it's not just nasa pushing this for our own needs. another piece, the higher powered thruster to replace liquid apogee mortsse, this is a part of that piece. is 0 this is a way to leverage off what commercial is already doing and moving forward. in the nuclear propulsion area it's pretty much us alone piring it. there isn't yet a private sector play-action for that class of rocket but we need to keep investing in the technology and take the work that was done back in the 1960's and take it that next step. because we know a lot more about crom systems now. computers are much more sophisticated. we can take some of that and more of it forward at the -- move it forward at the right pace. but this isn't something uniquely needed for us. it can be shared. >> this is key, again, not trying to did it all ourselves and trying to be smart about it. one of the challenges is the ability to store lidge -- liquid hydrogen. it's not any good for cryo general -- it's not only good for cryogenic storage, but for

the bill also calls for nasa to submit a follow-up report by the end of f.y. 2015 on nasa's progress in implementing the recommended improvements. the committee will continue to hold nasa accountable for the implementation of these security provisions. for the department of justice, the bill includes $27.8 billion, $384 million above the current level. the top mission priority of the justice department is defending national security from both internal and external threats. the bill was $8.5 billion, an increase of $125 million for the f.b.i. including funds to prevent and combat cyberintrusions which director believes may overtake terrorism as the number one threat facing the nation. every major company in the united states has now been hit by the chinese with cyberattacks. many members of congress have had their computers stripped by the chinese. the f.b.i. continues to build a nationwide capability for cyberinvestigations and the last work -- justice for the first time charged five officers of china's people's liberation army with economic cyberespionage, the first time foreign sta

by nasa i mean the government the government is cutting nasa is funding and what they're cutting is education so that could really hurt in the long term in terms of nasa space that really in terms of having the next generation of scientists and astronomers and astronauts are really interested in this that can really hurt but it's where nasa is kind of falling short private space companies are really really taking taking the lead here but i'm glad you bring this up because i want to talk about reusable rockets and that's a. big thing for usable rockets. why is this so important to commercial space exploration and space travel that are usable rocket well it all comes down to money it's really the cost so right now seventy percent of rocket launch a shuttle launch goes into the rocket launch itself so sixty million dollars for space x. at this time so what are you on musk did with his falcon nine reusable rocket was he called it evolutionary but not revolutionary so first of all the dragon. the dragon space shuttle went up and was historic in itself because it connected with the international sp

we have nasa operators that sit on our floor with us. we take very seriously the protection of the international space station. you heard from our previous panelist at the space station had moved 16 times. we recommended they move it twice. there is a layered approach. we detect where the debris is, and as it get's into a certain area around the space station, we can put more energy on that debris, refined the orbital accuracy and our position estimate of that debris, and make recommendations. it is something we take seriously and there is a set process with nasa operators and we do that for all of our dod satellites. as i mentioned earlier, for any conjunction that we see is going to hit on an emergency basis, we notify the world. i know you must have processes for the government operators to warn them about any possible collusion. but what type do you have with the private operators? how do they know this and how do you contact them? or how do they contact you or how do they watch and listen to? >> we have a tracking network of about 2

nasa is getting in on the selfie phenomenon.ce agency released this image in honor of earth day yesterday. we will have it for later we can show it to you right now. but if you look closely, you'll see the planet is a mosaic of individual photos from around the world. nasa asked the public to submit selfies on social media, and used 36-thousand of them to create the mosaic. they received selfies from every continent, and 113 countries. if we close our eyes and visualize we may see that picture. >> it doesn't matter if it's not working because your description was so beautiful. i can see it perfectly in my mind. >> did you hear it's a video free friday. >> look up the picture. if you get it we can run the breaking news banner and bring it to you. how's that? we do have this. some numbers. 53 degrees is the current temperature. wins at 9 mi.. 2.45 degrees. we have some relatively dry air. once it reaches 50 degrees maybe you can feel that humidity. it will get money. 70 degrees is downright small thrilling. now it's dry across the

this was a nasa rationalized he may think he caused 80% to 90% of people who need organs need kidneysthey focused on the largest part of the population that needed help. while we focused on everybody at the same time and we focused on finding the technologies we could to keep organs viable and transport them quickly and do everything we could to get them from cadavers. getting cadavers made sense because i put a living person at risk for kidney if you can get a cadaver. the important point here is they met in two different directions. aaron spent 30 years in prison if living donor program while we spent 30 years concentrating on her deceased program. if you look at today, there is a real and that you can get from the result. if you need a heart or a liver, better live here. if you need a kidney can't be entering any. because imuran ecumenically i'll fight to get a kidney, u.k. oakland. the united states out of the 120,000 people who need organs, 100,000 of them need kidneys. 15 to 20 americans die every day because they can't get a kidney and not not happening in iran.

so why is nasa wrong on the server's ability of this?o much that it's wrong but it's a the way that they are reported in this is likely of natural origin, something being reported and have lax having to be moved and relocated because of this allegedly unstoppable glacier. they looked at rates and estimated the raids of melting and they did a bunch of modeling predictions into the future. what the media is not telling you is that this has been going on for years and we have more stories of the same thing from 1922. we had a similar story in 2009. they are saying that it's an awful misuse of the term unstoppable here in the media. and this is something that happens regardless of man's influence and they are not alleging the temperature but remained that the winds are coming in and affecting this way sure and that will raise this. >> so you're not criticizing this on scientific grounds but the way it's been reported with similar trends in the past like the 1920s? >> yes, there are studies showing this as a whole that they have been getting

>> well, you know, it was the nasa researchers' idea.her asked the get after he was assigned to go into space for a year. for these long duration missions it's typically a 6-month flight. my brother will be the first one to do it for a year. i was an astronaut for 15 years. the question came cup, he asked it and later some nasa researchers said, this might be an interesting thing to do. it's not only about the weightlessness it's also the radiation environment you get in spot. they have 10 experiments planned while my brother is in orbit for a year. martha: as twins you have the same jeannetteing makeup and you have been in similar -- you have the same genetic makeup. what will you have to be doing on to make this experiment work while he's up there? >> it is a unique situation. our genetics are not exactly the same despite being identical twins. from what i understand as you age your genes can change. part of what they will be looking at is how much differently do they change off time because my brother spent b the time he gets back he

he is also, great title, nasa solar system ambassador.ari. >> what's going on here? >> well, it is a really interesting, version of saber rattling if you've will. because if you actually look at the details of the agreement -- that has been suggested for the partners in international space station. the first two people to sign that were both the administrators of the national space agencies for russia and the u.s. charlie bolden here. and the russian counterpart of his, over there. and when you look at what is actually going on here, what you find is that, nasa and the russian space agency have had a good relationship. literally well before the international space station was launched and put into orbit. they have had a great relationship. the relation continues regardless of what the political situation is on the ground. that's always been the history of the relationship between the two. ever since russia stopped their attempt to get to the moon. we started working together to construct, to operate both space stations. >> yeah, i appreci
