it's also strengthened nasa leadership by designating bill nelson to run nasa. also pamela melroy as deputy administrator. she'll be first woman to serve in this capacity in the history of the agency. as the chairman of the space and science subcommittee, i'm not just representing colorado although colorado obviously has a strong scientific community led by companies like ball corporation. but also need a whole of government approach to addressing the challenges we face in space and in science. it's nasa -- it's the department of defense, department of commerce. and i think that by continuing the national space council, the biden administration has made clear that leadership in space continues to be a priority. nasa already has a number of important initiatives going forward. the artemis program to land the first woman on the moon. the mars exploration with perseverance rover and ingenuity helicopter. i have been watching those videos and seeing not just the attention in the senate but the attention across america, really was inspiring. and i think the endless f

you can collaborate with nasa. you can cooperate with nasa. the biggest thing is to tell them, we are here to help. but we want you to do things on your own. we want you to join the family of nations as soon as you can. >> great. mike, at the start and ellen, you ran an institutional air and space museum. how do you put the national in the message, in the design of the museum? was it self-evident? >> we tried as hard as we could. i forgot how many square feet of floor space divided into so many galleries. they all -- i won't say all. but almost all of them had some international importance, as do the marines. i think the marines have got a big job in diplomacy. more than the other services. they get out and around. >> thank you. i will accept that. >> they can do good work. >> my son is out there somewhere. he will agree with you.

what nasa is doing, nasa has a longer range view and a much longer range view in terms of the destination. we're going to talk about this in a minute. i know the art of this program is designed to get astronauts back to the moon and eventually possibly on to mars. so, branson in that crowd are not competing with, so they're really operating. and if you think of it in, in 2 separate realms with 2 separate goals, but they're not stepping on each other. no, i don't think so. you know, they had to build their own facilities. well, now i'm not much didn't, he's using some facilities with the case, but brands and they built their own launch pads. hey, you know, we're wishing guys that we don't need to involve the government and the pride and the military support and all the government resources that are involved in a shuttle launch. and we'll just do this ourselves. and you know, i think it was very, they had to very successful operations recently as we know. i think it was a big step forward to what, what we're seeing here. people say, oh, big deal. allen shepherd did that 60 years ago. yes, h

there's no evidence of any kickbacks blowing to nasa.t for example nasa might've slipped the price, the bid that blue origin had to spacex to help them get the bid. at the end of the game here, this is flat out sour grapes. that's what this is. >> shannon: let's see what kelly thinks. this is on the nasa decision. spacex submitted the lowest price proposal with the highest rating. nasa did not violate procurement law or regulation. kelly, is it sour grapes? >> we have to wait and see what the court ultimately makes it a determination back to brian's point we have to remember this complaint was filed under seal because there's allegations of trade secrets. we don't know exactly what the complaint has to say. we do know the case that there is a saying that the company that got the bid had the opportunity to change their bid. blue origin saying if we knew this, we would have lowered our price. also nasa said they were going to have two contracts and they only had one. >> shannon: okay, everybody is trying to go to space. we want to get back

there are many individuals, especially nasa today, the aeronautics, the first a in nasa, who believe hypersonic travel is possible. there's research on unmanned hypersonic engines and they see these as a direct result of this work and research airplanes like the x 15. i hope you've enjoyed this look at some of the one-of-a-kind path breaking aircraft to illustrate the theme of higher, faster, farther in the collection of the smithsonian national air and space museum. you could choose other examples. but i felt these showed the spectacle of flight, how people get excited about seeing these. and it touches on the ways of experiencing flight. we have pilots, passengers on airliners and we have people watching and reading and learning about these stories, these varjs and important stories in aviation that shaped our world. so, in looking at these artifacts, that's one of the primary roles is to preserve them and share them with the american public, in terms of the rest of the world and that's resonated in terms of success and in telling the stories and trying to present that in new ways

well nasa is now on the lookout for four people who will do virtually that — spend a year in a martianere and life that astronauts might experience on the red planet. they will live in mars dune alpha, a 1,700—square—foot habitat, placed inside a building at thejohnson space center in houston. earlier i spoke to melodie yashar, director of architecture and building performance at icon, the company which will help design and build the mars dune alpha habitat for nasa. i asked how on earth one builds up the credentials to work on such an amazing project. that's a great question. we are in a very fortunate position, working with a renowned architecture firm, and together we are synthesising the requirements compiled by nasa to put together the programme for this habitat. what does that mean in real terms? what are you having to accommodate? we had to accommodate living and working spaces for four crew members to be conducting research and tolerating one another for an entire year, and they will not be leaving, they will have limited communications with outside, and we will be trying to si

this is nasa's human exploration research analog — hera for short.uture mission to mars — the humans inside the spacecraft. the primary purpose of hera is to learn about the effects of isolation and confinement on people. so a lot of the studies that we do are behavioural or psychological in nature, looking at the type of isolation from people. so you're really only talking to or in contact with the other crew members that are in the vehicle with you or mission control that's supporting you. yeah, astronauts on future missions to mars have more to worry about than the toxic soil, the deadly atmosphere and high levels of radiation. they also have to worry about each other. and it's hard to say which of these would be more likely to result in someone's death. and it's consistent, low—level stress over time. little things start to grate on you because the stress kind of heightens how you react to the things around you. so the sound of somebody chewing the cereal next to you might be fine at first. and then, 65 days later, you really, really don't like t

and now that things were back to normal at the spring station, nasa and boeing were supposed to again try to prove that they can safely take a crew to the i ss. we want this wind to go perfectly all the way to the international space station to dock autonomously. and then to return home with a landing on the desert in the western us. back in december, 2019 the star line or block that into space. but ended up in the wrong orbit and could not reach the space station. nasa officials say they identified 80 corrective actions that had to be done before the star line or capital launched. again. we want to go perfectly before we put human astronauts on the 1st actual flight with humans. that is the reason we're doing the 2nd orbital flight test. now no humans are expected to be on the test flight, but it will take measurements with a test medical named rosie the rocketeer. experts say this year series of phase launches will open the door for future space travel. this comes after billionaires richard branson and jeff bezos both blasted off in their private spacecraft last month. but investors

>> the big thing is the sensor test blue origin is testing for nasa.uld be how we land on the moon, as well as some radars that are needed for positioning and how to do that. it is a really interesting situation because you also have blue origin with nasa and washington about not getting a lunar lander contract earlier this year, which went to spacex. so they appealed, i know they have gone to a federal administered of court, trying to get this overturned so that they can get a piece of this work for themselves. alix: how does that play out? why does blue origin want/need that so much? >> and lot of ways, this has become a personal issue for jeff bezos. it is really about the message that spacex is not the only game in town. there are other players that want to do this kind of work, and government contract work is a very lucrative, steady stream. it is good work if you can get it. i think that is part of what we are seeing here. alix: talk about these kids that this is the eighth flight of this particular vehicle, where we get the 17th new shepard miss

but still, it's going to be orbiting the moon to gather data and prepare for nasa's next trip to put humans on the planet. well, she's really fascinating to see and you know, you're right. it doesn't get nearly as much coverage is all of that. we see richard branson and just think that's it for this time you can catch boom bus on demand and the portable tv app available on smartphones and tablets. you google play in the apple app store by searching portable tv where it will tv can also be downloaded on samsung, smart tv, and roku devices, or simply check it out at portable dot tv. well, see, next me the british and american governments have often been accused destroying lives in their own interest. while you see in this, these techniques is the state devising message to end, essentially destroy the personality of an individual lifetime. means this is how one doctors, theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against the prisoners deemed a danger to the state. that was the foundation for the method of psychological interrogation, psychological torture, disseminated within
