to face in nasa in the late 70s and 80s? honestly, it was not that terrible. because we did not come in as the mostjunior people because we did not come in as the most junior people and because we did not come in as the mostjunior people and new rookie junior people often get a dose of teasing and hazing in many organisations but we walked in with about the highest prestige and status that nasa can bestow, the title of astronaut and i think to some degree, that caused people to stop a bit and say, you know, i know how i always treated astronauts, even though i've never seen one that look like these six but you get a bit of a window of time to prove yourself and before long, you are standing on your own track record as everybody has to do. you've written very frankly about your feelings during this period and it seems you're more frustrated by some of the attitudes on the outside world and you were inside nasa. you wrote that he quickly realised, "i wasn't going to be the one who everybody was chasing,", talking about the media scrutiny, because there were four

in this and of course in all of nasa's accounts, nasa shall adhere it congressional direction and accelerate production of critical capabilities. nasa must increase the pace of sls production to ensure an sls is available for the europa missions and other future site's missions in addition to meeting the human exploration needs. i also want to thank chairman serrano for agreeing to include 110 million for nuclear thermal propulsion. it's a necessary level to work toward the design of a flight demonstration by 2024. in addition to key priorities, the bill addresses issues impacting all of our communities. it increases funding for critical drug corps programs and vital initiatives that address the opioid epidemic and dn ach dna, and sexual assault kit bag logs and too long on the shelves. the bill rightly directs the justice department to understake novel approaches to addressing on-line child exploitation and human trafficking and obscenity. in addition strong funding for the agencies that ensure compliance with our trade laws and their agreements. i'm especially pleased that it funds the tru

this is an exciting day at nasa allen chen is a systems engineer with nasa is mars 2020 project he joins me now fits a great time to work it nasa denied i guess you would agree with me absolutely this is a very exciting time for us right our mission they strapped on top of 850-0000 rocket ready to go to mars to start this grand relay race to have brain samples home well and tell us about the the actual mission that we're you know that we're going to start see happen hopefully you know successfully within just you know a matter of hours and what's going to happen and what are we going to be able to see. i would say that all of our past missions have been living up to this of our orbit errors or landers and our rover i've been leading up to this mission a procedure that those missions helped us find that it in its early days mars was warm and wet like you were saying and have it was just like our now we get a chance with this mission to ask the question can we find any evidence that past life on mars had to do that resending that they get the smartest most capable rover we've ever built th

perseverance will have to land on mars, a window of time nasa calls seven minutes of terror.hat is how long it takes for the rover to send a radio signal back to earth. the curiosity rover managed in 2000 and 12 and if perseverance does the same, it will begin a new era in the search for life.

tell us about the analogs that nasa cooks up to prepare astronauts for missions to mars. how do we decide to do something like this? >> going to space is complicated and you really want to practice as much as you can on earth before sending's astronauts out to space. even in the early days mercury and apollo and gemini they would train astronauts and just prepare them and the natural buoyancy lab you see them in a giant pool in houston and spacesuits that trains astronauts to fix things on the international space station but the idea going to the moon for a long time is not just figuring out how to fix something on the interior of the space station but that's all sorts of challenges and largely psychological there are many psychological but if you are on a mission to mars two and a half years away from earth that sort of isolation has never occurred and human history. that far away for that long so it looks at the way they come together and how they work as a team and how they are isolated from earth. >> i would imagine that entails psychology and figuring out if they hav
