sally ride loved nasa as a kid but interest in nasa was simply aspect tate tore. like most kids in that era certainly some of you watched early space liftoffs when the teacher wheeled in a big black and white tv set with rabbit ears in the classroom and watched john glenn and everybody else take off. she learned tennis. was so accomplished on junior circuit and women's circuit considered turning pro. she dropped out of college a few months to give it a try. when she realized she would not be one of the elite of the elite, that is all sally ride would have ever settled for she decided that was not the place she needed to be. years later when she would be asked what it was that had stopped her from a tennis career sally always said which is fully, my forehand. it never stopped her forward progress. when tennis didn't work out pivoted to science. went up to stanford university for her undergraduate and her masters and doctorate in astrophysics. point out, say she was not underachiever. she was double english and astrophysics major when she was an undergraduate. sally

. >> reporter: i've come to houston texas at nasa's johnson space center to learn how the science of space is helping to improve our health. to see how nasa trains its astronauts, to test the limits of human endurance and push the boundaries of science and medicine. julie robinson is the chief scientist for the international space station and our guide through this training mock-up of the iss. >> how realistic is this? >> it's exactly the same size as things are in space. it's much less cluttered. there aren't bags of things everywhere, because on the space station we bring cargo up and have to hold everything until we use it. this is really the size of a four bedroom house, except it's a laboratory. >> a floating laboratory, where for six months at a time crew members eat, sleep, exercise, work, and live. in 1998, the station began an on orbit assembly, meaning it was built in space and was only recently completed. since the first crew arrived in november of 2000, more than 200 astronauts from 15 different countries have visited the station. >> when people say this still, you know,

her interest in nasa was simply as a spectator. the teacher wheeled in the big black and white tv set into the classroom and watched lon john glenn and everyone else take off. as off. as a child she learned how to play tennis and she was so good on the junior circuit and the women's circuit that she considered turning pro. she dropped out of college for a few months to give it a try. when she realized she was never going to be one of the elite of the elite she decided that was not the place she needed to be. years later when she would be asked what it was that had stopped her from the tennis career, she always said my forehand. it never stopped her forward progress. when tennis didn't work back she pivoted back into science. she went to stanford university for her undergrad, her masters and her doctorate. let's say she's not an under achiever. in fact she was in the mist of writing her postgraduate school application one morning in 1977. january 1977 when she woke up in the morning and goes to the samford student union to get a cof

i had no idea nasa was in the push for desegregation. why nasa? >> well, it all happened because president kennedy was forced into two things that he had never talked about on the campaign front. never talked about space and he never talked about civil rights but there was a consummate of circumstances over five weeks that evolved that pegs and first russian and space, first american in space and the freedom rides that all came together to force president kennedy to take action on outer space, which he didn't want to do and to take action on civil rights. and because of the president's push to put a man on the moon, nasa and its contractors were hiring 250,000 new people in florida, alabama texas, louisiana and mississippi and so by virtue of where these jobs were, it had to have a civil rights element to it. katty: steven, what was nasa actually doing in the context of employing african-americans to push desegregation? >> well, first, it had to start recruiting on its own and that was part of the president's executive order that federal agencies

nasa gives us seven hours a night, but i got about five.d a little cat nap to catch up. brian: do you take medicine in space? col. hadfield: we have a full pharmacy on board and get trained as emergency medical technicians. trained for basic dental work, basic surgery, just in case, burn work, just in case someone got badly hurt. and so, our medical team has stopped the space station with -- stock the space station -- stocked the space station. but we launch healthy people higher healthy people. we make sure they are extremely healthy before we launch the. they are monitored carefully from the ground. even though we have medicine on board, maybe you take some headache pills, but you cannot catch a cold. it is a pretty careful environment. stay healthy the whole time. brian: we have some video of suni williams. col. hadfield: she is an incredible person. brian: you can see her on the screen right there.

i was nasa's director of ops in russia for several years.re more similarities than differences. brian: how many videos have you made about space? col. hadfield: someone told me about 100. i served as an astronaut for 21 years. i am not sure how that sounds to people, 21 years. neil armstrong was an astronaut for eight years in the accelerated pace of the race to the moon. 21 is a long time to serve in the astronaut corps especially as a canadian. in that time, i spoke -- i could not count the number of schools and businesses. i thought, if i ever get to orbit for a while, live on a space station i am going to make a little video to answer questions that everyone has been asking me for two decades. i crammed a lot in. people at the canadian space agency turned them out into youtube videos. hundreds of millions of people have watched the videos. it was a great way to share the experience. brian: you have a book, and astronauts guide to life on earth. the paperback is out in 2015. we are going to another video, self-explanatory.

>> a nasa astronaut is sharing pictures of something most of us will never get to see with our eyes onnternational space station. the astronaut took this shot of our galaxy. he tweeted it out overnight. it is getting a lot of tax online and is quickly going viral. >> new video from spacex show as safety feature to get astronauts out of harp's way if there is a launch pad emergency. this is video from a test drone early this month that shows the dragon rocket blasting off and accelerating from 0 to 100 miles per hour in 1.2 seconds. the parachutes deploy and the dragon drifts smoothly to the ocean. spacex hopes to launch nasa astronauts into orbit by 2016. >> so interesting to see that happening and being developed. >> meteorologist mike nicco is outside. you had the umbrella out a minute ago? >> it is misty right new the drizzle is lightening up, but the closer you are to the coast, and toward the east bay hills at emeryville, this could be a little bit of drizzle this. the reason is they have a stout sea breeze. check out our winds, they are picking up at 22 in pearland and oakland an
