the women of nasa don't think so and neither does nasa.t is generally agreed that differences in performance occur when there is a difference in opportunity to learn and to gain experience. >> when i was picked about a year or so ago to be a backup pay load specialist on a dress rehearsal in a space shuttle flight i was afraid at that time because i thought maybe i really can't do it. but as it turned out, i was picked because of the investigators who it submitted experiments as it will be for actual flight. the scientist astronauts are chosen because maybe there is some particular characteristic of their own experiment that would make them be the best person to conduct that experiment and also because their educational background is varied enough to be able to adequately carry out other people's experiments on board. as we went through the simulation i found out that i could learn what i had to learn and i was doing just fine. >> and so as we approach the 21st century drifting through the university at almost 1,000 . -- at almost 1,000 mi

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

meet super ball, a tensgrity robot in development in nasa ames.ghtweight sphere—like matrix can be packed down flat, taking up minimal space in a rocket and vastly reducing launch costs. because 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. 0nce deployed, super ball can handle much rougher terrains then a rover, rolling over obstacles and up and down hills. tendon wires connecting the struts spool in and out creating momentum, in much the same way as flexing your muscles moves your limbs. if it bumps into anything solid, it willjust 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. 0ver atjpl, they are

host: when it comes to actual programs, what is currently on board in nasa when it comes to pure space exploration? what is being planned? guest: right now there is the ongoing space vision, the giant international partnership operating in earth orbit and plans for visiting and astroid, bringing it near the moon and sending a crew to examine it. that is than controversial and congress has not been supportive of that as they do not see what it leads to. there have been longer-range discussions about humans eventually going to mars but several decades from now. that has not resulted in very detailed planning. right now, we have a space station in earth orbit and an unclear future as to what the next step is. i am personally hoping for some more definition on exactly what missions we could undertake right after the space station. host: what do you think as far as the future is concerned, the role of commercial space companies? guest: they will absolutely be part of the partnership. nasa really is -- because it has a limited money, it needs to focus on doing things only it can do, that mak

tell me about the mood at nasa with the announcement. >> we are very happy. this is a very special discovery by the space mission. this is a planetary system which is very similar, very familiar. there were seven planets of earth signs and a system around the start. it is similar in the sense that if we were lucky enough to visit this lannett -- lannett, we would see a picture very similar. the system of lannett is similar to what we're finding around this new system. brent: is it a mirror image of ourselves when we talk about these xo planets? are we looking, possibly also at a mirror image of intelligent life? >> we obviously can't say that yet. it is far too early. we don't have the ability to detect and we have not yet found evidence of water. what we do know is that the planets are the right size. some of them are the right temperature. the right distance from their stars, if they have atmosphere which can trap heat and energy like our own atmosphere does, it is plausible that some of these planets could have biology on them. brent: what about our abilit

specific, two of the us federal agencies that have voiced most concerned about climate change, are nasagoodness knows they rely on science, and the us department of defence, which have stated in 2015 that climate change is an urgent and growing threat to our national security, so, leave aside politics, leave aside exaggeration, you would accept the words of nasa and the pentagon, would you? no, i think that the department of defence was under very strict political supervision from the obama white house and that they were told to make sure that climate change is involved in all of your thinking about defence, so, no, i do not accept that and i think that opinion at nasa is divided between the modelling community and what i would call the empirical community, people who rely on temperature datasets. right. i mean, it is probably inportant to remind everyone you come from a background, the competitive enterprise institute centre for energy and environment, which we know the past has been funded by exxon mobil, by the koch brothers, by people who clearly have an interest in pouring scorn on

i mean, i was talking about nasa's science and all of the data they collected and their conclusion thatn dioxide particles in the air are at their highest in 650,000 years, that global temperatures have risen much more than one celsius since 1880, you know, this is scientific data, you are not a scientist, and the group that you have come from and that you have very ably represented, very influential in represented, has an agenda which is driven by people who have an interest in denying climate change. i think that the facts are that the warming we have seen since the end of the little ice age in the middle of the 19th century is modest. it may be that there is an increasing component of that change caused by human activity, primarily burning coal, oil and natural gas, but, for example, we have produced — humanity as a whole has produced about 31% of the total greenhouse gas emissions since the beginning of the industrial age, have been emitted in the last 20 years, and yet there has been a pause, ora hiatus, or a plateau of warming in the last 20 years. if the climate is as sensitive t
