regime relies heavily on nasa sponsorship to a regime where nasa can be one of many customers. nasa's current plans use commercial platforms. [indiscernible] commercial demand is not yet sufficient to support commercial platforms. to that end, we will need to understand the cost related commitments once iss operations cease, and would nasa support a private platform, and for how long? both understand the demand for a national laboratory following the end of iss. because of all these decisions, they also come with resource implications. we need to go in with our eyes wide open. the $3 billion operation cost -- [indiscernible] and the future cost associated with services. who is to pay for this, including repairs, supplies, and ground-based operations? what level of savings is anticipated? we have a lot to discuss today and i look forward to our witness testimonies. i will continue to engage with the international partners in a post-iss era, and implications of other activities including china. the iss partnership is a beacon of and vehicle for peaceful international cooperation

and this was all with nasa's blessing, because the nasa engineers were there as well. but primarily from a pilot's point of view, is this handle in the right place? if you have a switch which you have to use to counteract an emergency, is it reachable, is it visible, or do you have to go behind your back somewhere to find the darn thing? primarily, from a pilot's point of view, was our interface. >> then finally, you wound up being the first man to fly in a mercury spacecraft. did you know that was coming, or was it a surprise? as you describe your steps that led up to it? >> we had been in training for probably 20 months or so, toward the end of -- early '61, we all intuitively felt that bob gearoth had to make a decision as to who was going to make the first flight. when we received word that bob wanted to see us at 5:00 in the afternoon one day in our office, sort of felt that perhaps he had decided. there were seven of us then. and in one office. we had seven desks around in the hangar in langley field. bob walked in, closed the door, and was very matter of fact. h

but nasa started looking at me, several months went by. and finally, i said yes, i will just show that you are no longer accepted by this meniere's disease. so there i was having made the right decision. >> i think we better backtrack a little here, because obviously, this is going to bring you into direct discussion about a fellow named dick's layton. we had established the fact that him, like you, had not gotten over flying. let's go back to that, because picked titillate, that happened in the mercury days, when he was getting ready to fly. i wonder if you had first heard -- >> we were assigned to follow john. >> right, and suddenly, he was bumped from his mercury flight. that was a heart condition, wasn't it? >> yes. there was a lot of controversy about that. because it was a heart murmur, or a palpitation, some irregularity, but one which was not obvious. i mean, it was not a continuous thing. it was not as if he was getting getting ready for cardiac arrest, or anything like that. it was just occasionally, he'd have a twist on their. >

franklin diaz got selected by nasa as an astronaut. and those were the three pivotal moments where i said, i'm going to be an astronaut. seeing this on tv, there's an 8-year-old somewhere, i'm sure hundreds of them, watching and saying, one day, i'm going to be like that and go to mars and beyond. so this inspires our youth. we know that technology is the heartbeat of any economy. and so space exploration is -- it pushes the envelope of technology and innovation, so i think it's great. anytime we can get private industry to invest a dollar in space exploration, it's a dollar less that the u.s. taxpayer, that you and i have to pay. i think that's great, as well. >> we now have just under 26 minutes to go. there was that temporary hold, but now jeff bezos is shaking hands with the astronauts. it looks like he's giving a final hug to audrey powers right now. tom costello, speak to that. besides william shatner, captain kirk, talk about who's onboard. because audrey power, she's been with blue origin since 2013. she played a lead role in t

that's because most of the private companies have learned lessons from nasa. most have gotten technology advice as we see today. nasa engineers are part of the commercial efforts and a number of these companies. i think safety is at the top of mind for most of these com companies. i think of this as a graduation, we've got astronauts that go into lower earth orbit, you have the tourism effort that's happening now. we've got deep space flight. you've got to have this whole continuum where there's going to be this continuum of human beings at different aspects and levels of space exploration. that's going to really require the faa, perhaps nasa, perhaps the un that's involved, that has committees that deal with space, to develop better regulation around this whole effort. think about this. our kids growing up now whether never know a world where there will be no one in space. from this day forward, there will always be humans in space at some level, in lower earth orbit, on the moon and mars. to me that's very exciting. >> absolutely, absolutely. stretching the

is this nasa proudly kind of signaling to everyone else down here on terra firma? look, we're still the big boys of interplanetary exploration. i'm not sure that's an intentional effort on their part. nasa has been doing d space exploration, which in terms of space generally means anything beyond the moon for decades at this point. and i think it's more a matter of this is something that nasa is still uniquely suited to do in terms of the budget and the resources that they have available compared to other space agencies. but we're seeing a lot of international activity happening at mars now, which we hadn't seen before this year even. and so i don't think it'll be long before we see countries like china and the u. e. expanding into deeper space mission sued jupiter and beyond. ok, tanya, always an informative pleasure having you a contribution on these stories here on the news. i great talk to again. thank you so much. tony harrison talking to was from dc 3 chinese astronauts have successfully docs at china's 1st permanent space station. the crew will spend 6 month

guy: what is nasa doing while all of this is taking place? keith: a lot of people there who i used to work with are happy. a lot of people are scratching their heads, as to say, why can't we do this. i think it a sort of what happens in middle age when you realize the youngsters have just figured out to do -- figured out how to do something you do better. i guess the folks at nasa will lean back in their chair and say finally, it is space for the rest of us. this is no longer going to be something where it is just a couple of people going every now and then. it is going to be many more parts of humanity. alix: to that point, the whole idea of a reusable rocket isn't at all new. i am wondering how it shifted from what nasa was doing many decades ago to this. peace: this is probably something you discuss on your network five times a day, the issue of the private sector. but nasa was always the one who pushed the frontiers, and they did figure out how to do a lot of this stuff. it is just, for whatever reason, we went with the space shuttle come
