meet super ball, a tensgrity robot in development to nasa ames.ause of the unique structure of this robot and the fact that it can deform and reform itself and take massive impacts, eventually nasa will be able to literally throw it at the surface of a planet and its scientific payload in the middle will be protected. it's bouncy. once deployed, super ball can handle much rougher terrains then a rover, rolling right over obstacles and up and down hills. tendon wires connecting the struts spool in and out to create momentum, in much the same way as flexing your muscles moves your limbs. if it bumps into anything solid, it'll just bounce back. it should even be able to survive falling off a cliff. the next step for super ball is to redesign the robot such that it can actually survive at least a one—storey drop. you can expect to see a system like this on an actual nasa mission probably in 15 or 20 years‘ time. over atjpl, they are working on limbed robots. its research spawned from the darpa robotics challenge where teams competed to create highly m

but nasa hasn't completely given up on our four—wheeled space helpers.ied to develop new kinds of robots for future space exploration. this robot, for example, is called k—rex. it's one of our main research robots that we develop and test here in the roverscape at nasa ames. this is a large play area for robots, a proving ground that we use to really try to develop things like navigation or do the mission simulations. so, the biggest question perhaps of the day for me, can i drive k—rex? definitely. let's have you do that. yes! now lots of you think we click reporters have the bestjobs in the world, but after spending a day at the roverscape testing ground, i think there is another contender for that title. inspired by nasa's training programme, it aims to bring a mission in space to the masses. after getting used to your new surroundings, you undertake an emergency mission. whilst enjoying views of earth from afar, a friendly hand from a fellow astronaut helps to get you on your way. ah, i can hold a hand. i feel a strange sense of safety there is anoth

the movie is the incrediblencrel untold story of three at nasa. as the brains bra behind one of the greatest one operations in nasa history theto lunch of astronaut john glenn g to orbitit. their achievements restoredestod the nation's confidence ande turned around the space race. r they also inspired future generations to dream big b including angela mason a currents engineer for nasa whoio joins us this afternoon.s thanks for being here.ks f bei >> i'm happy to be here. her thanks for the opportunity. oppy >> beyond just working foronjusw nasa right now yourself yououel have a personal connection to jannell monet played maryneayed jackson. tell me abojautck your connectin to her. >> when i first started myn career mary jaci kson allowed md to stay with her and her family. >> did you at that point knowthk about mary jackson and the two t other women featured in thed int film what they had done, their t significance in history?ance isr >> well, i knew mary jackson was brilliant at nasa.tasa. of course during that time shehm had retired and i also

nasa want to protect every job. >> it's a bureaucracy. people at nasa are wonderful.dership, they are all in 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

and she along with a couple of other colleagues, took this to nasa and you know, nasa being the progressive place and the place that listened. she helped advance more women's careers, more minorities' careers in stem at nasa during that time. so i thought that was just so remarkable and i'm so honored to play such a woman. >> this one is important. this one is important on a deep level because it's a part of history that has been overlooked, you know? this is more important than anything i've done in my career. >> brown: taraji p. henson plays katherine johnson, a math prodigy who worked as a so- called "computer"-- this was just as machine computers were arriving, executing by hand the difficult and tedious equations needed to make the science of space flight work. when she first read the script, henson saw the story in very personal terms. >> i was upset because a dream had been stolen from me. had i known these women existed maybe i would've dreamed to be a rocket scientist. but growing up there was a universal understanding that math and science wasn't for girls. it was for boys. i felt

well, women and nasa. stick with the theme. i know you have heard about the new movie "hidden figures" that opens tonight. i of three african-american women working at nasa in the 1960's. they were called "computers." that is because they did all the math for the space flights before actual computers even existed. well, in tonight's working woman, she says that they helped inspire her to become the chief scientists for nasa. >> that's john glenn. >> what do you do for nasa? >> calculate the landing center. >> chances are you never heard of kathryn johnson before the movie "hidden figures." a brilliant mathematician, the brains behind the launch of astronaut john glenn to orbit. ellen stofan, nasa's chief sintists knew a lot -- scientist knew a lot about her. >> we have been here all along. we always weren't welcome and she often time had to say i belong in the room. don't tell me to leave. alison: stofan worked at nasa became chief scientists until a few weeks ago, leaving to pursue new opportunities. she is a geologist and her

the history of nasa was very diverse. nasa celebrates these women.these women are not hidden from nasa. it was great to tell the general public that. >> guys. thank you all. it's an honor to meet you all. kevin, and pharrell, music, gets even me, mr. straight arrow. >> you can keep the mugs, we'll get you hats. i said politics can culture are together. >> by the way -- >> they're the same thing, this collection, whatever you think of it, culture and politics are together. we have to put it all together. merry christmas to everybody. >> merry christmas. >> i was deg to say, you're not mr. straight arrow. we have been watching you for years. >> yes. >> and your interviews and the bay that you keep people straight is amazing, and when people veer off and don't answer the question, there's no one that slices through it better than you. >> thanks. >> that's why you call it "hardball." >> thank you. that's not in the script. we'll be right back. thank you. we'll be right back. hold, because my dentures fit well. before those little pieces would get in betw

nasa is our principle donor. and at the end of nasa's need, the agency will transfer spacecraft, space suits, and a great variety of other equipment to the museum so that it can be preserved and displayed, and even used for research. spaceshipone is a different case in that it came from private enterprise. and so in this case, we work directly with the owner/manufacturer/diner bert rutan and also his business partner paul allen, who is one of the co-founders of microsoft. and we approach them after the first flight in june of 2004 and said regardless of whether you win the x prize or not, we think spaceshipone deserves to be in the national collection because it was the first privately developed spacecraft piloted by a human being to go into space and return. you might notice there is a small dent in the nozzle of the engine on the back of spaceshipone. and that is not damage that was cause by delivering it to the museum or suspending it from the rafters. rather that buckled in space during its first test flight

the pilots of these vehicles are primarily nasa pilots or air force pilots. these are missions pushing people to believe and encouraging is this the way into space, is this what's going to be developed to make this transition? when this airplane first flies in 1959 that's only, charles lindbergh is alive. and these generations of flyers and the memory, they're seeing this so this idea of higher, faster and farther is really being symbolized by the flight of the x15 through the late 1960s. so this is x15 number one first flown by scott crossfield and also flown by a number of other nasa test pilots as well as air force pilots, neil armstrong who was employed as a nasa research test pilot, something he was very proud of in terms of flying. this was an alternate path that another vehicle was chosen for the atmosphere-to-space access in the form of the space shuttle primarily but also in terms of the mercury, gemini and apollo programs. the knowledge of the technology of designing a hypersonic vehicle in which the x15 holds the record as the fastest man-carrying

the effort on the part of nasa to let the american people share in the adventure. among the regular preparations for each new spaceflight, beginning with mercury, through all of the gemini series and now this one, apollo. there have been a series of advanced interviews with the astronauts involved. a few weeks ago down at the mancraft center in houston, gus grisham, ed white, robert chaffee sat down with nelson benton. they talked about ambition which talks -- which ended in flames tonight. we begin with gus grisham. grisham: a steam vent line and a lot of electronics and things around the outside. as i flip this part of the structure here -- we can see the interior. the three of us in our positions, on the left side, ed and robert on the right. down below each of these two outer stations are other stations. the seats move forward a little bit. this gives standing room down here. the area you are looking at here is a navigation station. the telescope is down there and the computer and the basic guidance and navigation is down there. if you look up in this area -- y

james webb, the director of nasa. the whole dinner was sealed off from reporters and people from the outside for the better part of an hour. people inside said there would be no statement made by james webb, no further statement from president johnson, no statement from vice president humphrey. as he put it, we are all members members of the team. we want to find out exactly what happened. we want to make sure the american people have the correct facts and all of the facts. but we very simply have very few facts at the moment. vice president humphrey, as he came out of the building was sad faced. he told me personally, i think president johnson's statement speaks for the entire country. as mike reported earlier, president johnson's official statement from the white house was, and i quote three valiant , young men have given their lives in national service. we mourn the great loss, and our hearts go out to the families. vice president humphrey echoed those sentiments. as the apollo meeting broke up, everyone in the roo

nasa's letting businesses rent it out. take a look. . >>> it could very well be the largest pool on earth. it is used to simulate space. >> now nasa is letting businesses rented out. the space agency's underwater neutral buoyancy lab is four stories deep. so big a replica of international space station fits inside it. that is one of the things they do to train astronauts to get used to weightlessness. maintainable that big is not chief. to keep costs down nasa let's oil and gas companies dive in. is that is spending $100,000 on underwater training in the golf, some oil companies pay 25 grand to use nasa's lab. now the space agency is opening the pool to even more users. >> spreading it oh for as many users as you can makes a lot of sense from an economic standpoint. they are practical applications of what nasa is trying to do here. >> they are letting people rent rise to the international space station astronauts from around the world use the pool prepping three to four times a week, success day but nasa insists there is r

it's the third consecutive year that the record has been broken, according to nasa.believe that the el nino weather phenomenon played a role but increasing levels of greenhouse gases were the main factor in driving up temperatures, as our science correspondent, rebecca morelle, explains. our planet is warming, fast, and the latest data suggests that 2016 was a record—breaking year. this winter, parts of the arctic have had a heatwave, temperatures were above freezing, when they should have been far below. while australia's great barrier reef was transformed to this. vast swathes of coral were killed off, as the waters warmed. 2015 was the warmest year on record up until now, so 2016 has just beaten that. it's beaten it by about 0.1, 0.12 degrees celsius. which doesn't seem like a lot, but in terms of the yearly variations, it is actually huge. part of this rise was caused by an el nino event, a warm—ocean current that disrupts the world's weather. but scientists say greenhouse gases were the main driver. this shows how global temperatures have increased since the ind

that's one of the reasons whyne nasa so interested in this movie.s but inspiration al and the movim shows the scene with john glennn returning from space and how how tense it was.e i remember that because i was four years old. in fact that's the first thing i remember from my childhood from earth worrying aboutorryint whether he would make it back. w that may havoue something to do weepie why i work for nasa now. nonetheless, that kind of inspiration for me we're hopingp this movie will inspire young y children who can see themselvesl in these characters and move ahead because the verdict of ouf history is pretty clear. cle it doesn't matter what kind ofh package you come in.pau what really matters how youhow y perform and whether you have the skills and capabilities we wantn those folks at nasa. >> thank you so much for youror time and for your smarts. srt remember, girls, smart girlsma always win.al we got a lot more coming up on o good day at 10a on the otherheth side. don't go anywhere. ♪♪ been trying to prepare for this day... and i'm still not

in 1984, after its mission was complete, nasa formally transferred the ownership of viking i lander tof course we haven't been able to collect it yet. so nasa, working with the jet propulsion lab and the university of arizona was kind enough to check in on it for us. and this picture was taken by the high-rise camera aboard the mars reconnaissance orbiter to celebrate the museum's 40th birthday. it demonstrates the challenge ahead, and we have unfinished business on mars. and it's up to the men and women of this museum to inspire the next generation to take up the task. it would be impossible to recognize all the staff and volunteers who have performed the museum's mission over the decades. but we are honored to have ten of them with us here tonight who have been here as part of the team since the very beginning, 40 years ago. as i call your name, please stand. phil edwards.

next we've got a video of how they are using them in nasa.ing it in space. run the video and tell us why on earth would you give hololens to astronauts because they are already there doing the cool stuff? nasa is trying to send astronauts further than they've ever been before. for them to do that, they have to do their work more effectively by themselves without the help of mission control. how does it help them to do that? technologies like hololens and these applications we're showing you will enable them to do the procedures by themselves. giving them 3d instruction guides, allowing them to walk around their station, and have guides walking them through the procedure. it's like a training manual when you look at a button and it says, don't press this one! that's right. apart from on the space station, who might use this? why might we be using augmented reality when things appear in your vision in the future? there's a lot of industries using it right now, architecture, medical, automobile. the thing it is most tangible is party planning or

so the pilots of these vehicles are primarily nasa pilots or air force pilots. so these are missions that are pushing people to believe and encourage people, is this the way into space? is this what's going to be developed to make this transition. so you have to think that when this airplane first flies in 1959 is that its only -- i mean, charles lindbergh is alive, and these generations of fliers and memory, they are seeing this. so this idea of higher, faster and farther is really being symbolized by the flight of the x-15 through the late 1960s. >>> this is x-15 number one. it was first flown by scott crossfield but it was also flown by a number of nasa test pilots, as well as air force pilot, neil armstrong, who was employed as a nasa research test pilot. it was something he was very proud of in terms of flying. and so this was an alternate path that another type of vehicle was chosen for the atmosphere into space access in the form of a space shuttle but also in terms of the capsules of the mercury and gemini and apollo programs. and so, in a lot of ways, t
