[laughter] if i was king of nasa nasa, charlie has to work with a bunch of people but i would concentrate on the commercial space to get as much of my money into the commercial side as possible because they will very quickly drive down the price then that makes the extra the lunar and the of missions affordable to bring the price point them rather than going to the hill to ask for more money and in terms of the first mars mission i would go nontraditional the biggest benefit to having an astronaut on the surface is the astronauts has a brain and doesn't have that 5020 -- that 29 latency to communicate what they want to do on the surface and though the very few s - - first humans isis back we'll be a bunch of rover's on the surface then humans in orbit >> he is absolutely right. to talk about in vision we'll talk about a lot because we get in trouble to be quite honest if you go too far ahead because people say nasa is the government agency. but you have to think 40 years out and he is right. in the first things on the surface of mars will be robots. with get the american forces we don't s

went to 46 teams, we had a nasa team. of last year the largest single source of first teams around the country was nasa and we are very proud of our association with nasa and what they have done for us. prove that it is impactful on all kids are going to show you the two minute and 54 second video. listen to god. this is the super bowl. the super bowl of smart. it's a life-changing competition. kids having fun. computing, working together to dream up, design and build robots. >> it's an exhilarating feeling. i'm using power tools. >> there are having the hardest fun they will ever have and they are becoming our next generation of engineers and innovators. for inspiration and recognition of science and technology. -- by challenging and trusting me, these mentors got me to understand that i could do anything i put my mind to. first mentors are changing kids lives every day. professional engineers, teachers, parents teaming up with young people not just to build robots but to build confidence and self respect. >> i'm around

nasa's been doing this for a long time.nd you've got now these new entrants, new innovation, new money, disrupting the industry. i wonder, george, if you could talk a little bit about, because you work for charlie as his chief of staff. a little bit about the cultural differences between the sort of ethos at a place like virgin or blue oirnlg or spacex versus nasa. how are they different? how are they similar? >> charlie is the captain of an aircraft carrier. >> we turn slow. >> and it's an amazing organization that has a lot of different capabilities. what the new companies are dpog are trying to do one or two things well. i think it's the most exciting time to be a young aerospace engineer than in decades. and the reason i say that is because there are so many different opportunities, whether it's inside nasa or at virgin galactic or in some of these other companies, julie's, where young and older and middle-aged, all kinds of engineers, can climb on board and get involved in a real way with real hardware that gets built

. >>> nasa nasa administrator now the state of science and technology-related education. he was at the brookings institution in washington, d.c. inventor and education advocate, dean kamen, also took part in the discussion. this is about an hour and a half. >> i think we're wired. ladies and gentlemen, it's a great pleasure to welcome you this morning to brookings. my name is john allen. i'm the co-director of the center for 21st century security and intelligence and with my fellow co-director, dr. michael happ halan, we welcome you very warmly this morning to the institution. it's been acknowledged that the underlying base for long-term american national power and prosperity requires an education system where young individuals can excel in science and technology and engineering and math. something called s.t.e.m. as noted by scholars here at brookings, in the metropolitan policy program, s.t.e.m.-intensive industries produce about $2.7 billion, trillion in added value to our economy, and it's about 17% of our gdp. principled driver in patenting, productivity, growth and

well, we needed to bring nasa.e needed to bring the relevant people that use and apply technology and engineering into a real environment, a hands-on environment, as hands-on as any other sport so when the kids show up at school they realize i want to learn the math without knowing that "e" equals "ir" it let a lot of smoke out of the circuit board because i forgot to multiply by "i" squared. it turns out for better or worse the schools has focused on science as this abstract thing and math as this really abstract thing. we are bringing to the school relevance. we're showing kids that it's accessible and it's fun and it's every bit as rewarding as any other thing they do, except unlike the nba that has a few dozen jobs a year, right now there are a few million unfilled career opportunities because kids can't do it. >> i would agree. you know, the particular part for us is i started out by saying we're on a journey to mars. we know where we want to go. we just aren't capable of getting there right now because we don

does that put the lawn in competition with nasa? -- put elon musk in competition with nasa? >> it does not mean competition at all. spacex recently announced they were in a partnership with us. what he is looking at that we want. we look at him coming back and landing on a barge. that is what we call hypersonic. we are not investing in that, but we don't need to. we are talking about reducing the cost of the taxpayer. if they can land a vehicle on mars, that is what most critical challenges. how do you get big masses on the surface? that is all good information that we need. >> the trucking analogy just keeps coming up over and over again. hostess makes twinkies, but every grocery store in america, they need to deliver to every grocery store in america, so clearly hostess should get to work inventing a truck? no, you let other people invent the truck. >> the complexity of going to mars, you are going to need a lot of tracks. lotta stuff to take. no single entity is likely to do it. i think it is going to take all that to achieve that. >> or you could send one -- you could se

nasa to the ground. nasa, if iing of could have things go the way i concentrate on commercial spaceflight and get as much money into the commercial site as possible because they will quickly drive down the price which makes the mars related missions more affordable. rather than having to go to the hill and asked for more money. i would go a little nontraditional. having ant benefit to astronaut on the surface is the astronaut has a brain. a astronaut does not have five-20 minute latency in communicating from mars. the very first humans to mars is area mission will be a whole bunch of rovers on the surface of mars and then humans in orbit controlling them. you talk about envisioning. and we don't talk about a lot of stuff. ahead, you arear not organized. we are. we have got to be thinking 30-50 years out. i come people all the time. the very first beings on the surface of mars are going to be robots. think about what we do for american forces around the world. we don't send marines into a hot area first.

program at nasa. the other thing we can understand, we need people not only with science and technology backgrounds that we need people who are willing to engage their hearts and minds of people who understand the arts and the ability to conceive of designers who can build little things like 3-d printers and the like. we believe s.t.e.m. is critical. we want to talk about it a lot today hopefully and if we can inspire some of you to tell people with whom you come in contact that is just as important to have the young students who are going to be an all-star on a first quart or so more of this to be an all-star backs up -- basketball player we have achieved our goals. >> thank you for those terrific remarks. let me ask several questions and we will have a conversation up here and then we will go to the floor for additional questions. we have used the term's s.t.e.m. s.t.e.m. -- steam. what can we talk about each one of those components and are any of them more important than the others or are any of th

nasa want to protect every job. >> it's a bureaucracy. people at nasa are wonderful. tight with the industry. everybody likes to manage a contract. and so it's pretty nice system. at this point you have got $18 billion of the public's money that i think the space program could do better with. john: it could be so much better used, and so many americans say privatization. on msnbc they do get excited about space travel. but then the host has to say this. >> i also worry a great deal this is going to private industry. i keep thinking the competition of private companies in this on the planet has not necessarily led to equitable outcomes. john: the outcomes won't be equitable. >> i can't understand that. now i work for the airlines pilot union. we all fly in airplanes safely 700 million people a year. that's the technology that is completely run by the private sector and goes very well. i know people believe safety is with the government. but we don't have a perfect record at nasa, either. john: private parking ticket. cleaner water. what were the workers doing when they

that's what nasa should be doing. so no. i'm not satisfying government is doing our part because historically in this country in the last few decades, we have abandoned research and development, we have abandoned technology development. that's one thing we have increasingly tried to put in the nasa budget. we started a space technology budget. we can't get to mars based on what we have today. you know, yeah, we can go back to the moon, and we will, but we want to get to mars. and in order to do that, you have to have young people coming out of our schools and colleges who are wanting to design and build new things, new technologies. >> any thoughts on that? >> you ask whether we're investing enough. i'm not an economist, but i would say to you it's pretty clear that whatever we're investing, it's probably at least as important to make sure how you invest as opposed to how much because i know that we spend hundreds, many hundreds of billions of dollars a year on public education. per capita, it's well known, it's more per stu
