not only do they have their mission and nasa has its capabilities.ised by the agency. and then to fit in the operational space that continue to be developed by nasa. and to keep them going even though they support knowledge and understanding our planet and how it operates though necessarily map from the agencies that overarching entity says this is what the enterprise needs to carry out. >> thank you mr. chairman. one of the committee's has been focused on the growing concern about orbital debris. is there a threat posed by growing amounts of orbital degree? is this something you are focused on quick. >> at nasa we agree it is important to space is usable for years to come in the make a constellations are in issue to be addressed by leadership and i can refer other colleagues who have more information on. >> doctor, being from the west you know the dangers of not only drought that surprise flooding and in wyoming we stopped a lot of damage around yellowstone where we had surprisingly rapid snowmelt due to unseasonably warm weather and warm rain simul

this is a great day for nasa as you all mentioned. as one of the many people who worked on the james webb space telescope and in thrilled to join you to share the groundbreaking science nasa and their partners, the european space agency and the canadian space agency will be getting to explore. nasa's jwst team was excited to join with audiences across the nation and across the world for its launch and in july for the first rollout events. jwst was designed to discover the first galaxies and stars that formed in the universe providing a view of the most distant life we can see. it's discoveries will unravel how galaxies formed evolved, it will allow us to peer into stellar nurseries and study the lifecycle of stars and the planetary systems that form around stars. it will set us on the path to searching for evidence of habitable planets outside our solar system by providing a first look at the atmospheres of small planets outside our solar system. jwst is already setting a rapid pace for new discoveries previously beyond the reach. --

this is the live scene at nasa hq. this is the live scene at nasa hq. are expecting that splashdown in the next minutes. while we are waiting that, we will take you to it life when it happens, but let's speak to elizabeth pearson, the features editor of the sky at night magazine. i'm excited about this. how are you feeling with just minutes to go? very exciting. this is something we have been looking forward to for years. this mission has been delayed a couple of times at the very last minute. to finally see that it is about to reach its completion, because this is one of the most important faces that are to miss one is going to make share it can bring people back to earth safely. it is this art people back to earth safely. it is this part of _ people back to earth safely. it is this part of the _ people back to earth safely. it is this part of the mission, as well as the launch, that are the most potentially dangerous ones. absolutely. these are the times when the rocket and none of the hardware are going to be put through the most extreme pressures th

neither is nasa at this point. other there at least, well, you know, it worked the 1st time we get it and everything seems to work perfectly. but yeah, yes, base x now, and these are the companies of brought in capabilities that are so good that as a matter of fact, originally nasa was going to build its own lunar lander. you're now they're going to buy one from space. and so and, but again, you know, you, you talk to space ex guys is great and creative as they are. they'll tell you, nasa figured out how to do the stuff. first, a trick is, was space x. we've got a leader who read far too much science fiction when he was young, he doesn't know any better than to try the crazy things and make them work well certainly. so we're going from competition between one geopolitical idea and another to all kinds of people collaborating and cooperating together. and there's an emergent property that comes from this. and that is there are more ways to go back to the moon to do more things of the moon. we go to mars for more rea

>> nasa has learned a tremendous amount.unch systems and the spacecraft systems are working basically as we had planned, we've learned a few things along the way to make it better the next time around and by all indications short of what we will learn tomorrow, the systems are ready to put astronauts and crew on it and return to the moon. >> how close did the capsule get to the moon? >> the capsule a couple of times got within 70 or 60 miles as i recall, but it also went the furthest that a spacecraft has ever gone from earth out beyond the moon and that was intentional so that we could learn as much as possible. >> and so how close would you say are we to a manned mission to the moon? because i understand this mission didn't have people on board, but when will people ride this rocket? >> artemis ii is scheduled a couple years down the road. the hardware is all coming together, there's already spacecraft hardware in florida, the launch vehicle is coming together at the assembly facility near new orleans, so the hardware is c

the head of nasa bill nelson explained why this mission is important. the plan is to get ready to go with humans to mars late in the decade of the 20 thirty's, and then even further beyond. and we know from what we're finding from the james web space telescope, that it is a very, very large universe out there. let's get more on this cosmic story from astro biologist, keith cowan. he's joining me now. very nice to see you, keith, on such an interesting day. what was massive looking at specifically in this final re entry phase of the capsule? well, you know, having worked there, there's 2 times during the mission that you get nervous, shall we say one is the watch. the other is if you're bringing something back when it comes back into the atmosphere. and so there were some nail biting and they did, they did exactly as they plan to do it. they came closer to the target than the you to. so all round it was the perfect day. that bad math fair and speaking of math, we have been here before the unit, the u. s. has sent astronauts to the moon before long before

and so these are 2, you know, nasa fundings to develop technology. and now today's this everywhere, not just the tv, this is medical imaging. so, you know, you should think astronomers if we can see each other and they get selfie this, you know, the, the, we are a curious species and this is the curiosity is the deepest root of innovation. so fundamental science is fundamental to all we have around us. i wrote that down. curiosity is the deepest root of innovation. i feel like so much put that on a t shirt. let me, i know you want to jump in, go ahead and just to add to that and that the budget that being invested in jane said that's over a period of, you know, 25 years and, but that's only a fraction of the cost that the nation is to have bull though there's tons of spend on military budget every year. i've seen a lot of debate about whether we should be spending more money, whether we should be investing this money in education be, are doing this because we want to learn and being right universe. and that is all coming back to that and that's it. a

the system successful a poly emissions prior to his time at nasa. he was in leadership at the state department when the state department was going through this period of purging l g b t. people from the state department in the early fifties. and it's not clear that james webb had any specific role in that, but he was in leadership in the state department at the time. and so then it comes into this, you know, what responsibility did he have to stop it? you know, was the product of his time, was he following orders? when it's very unclear the extent to which he was involved in this. so there's just a murkiness and it made people, it was a shadowed thing to be. it made people uncomfortable because you don't want to think that this incredible new instrument that was built for everyone named off to someone who wasn't for everyone. i understand that. so that's a great way of putting it. let me know you were going to say something. i want to add, i mean we will the james web space telescope. it's now being launched in error, which is where science is now a

and really that does give us a sense of pride at nasa because we know that. we know that everybody likes it and that everybody's interested and that all of the kids in america are inspired. >> what's your next project? >> well, so as far as artemis and orion goes, we are expecting to get a lot of data back now. we had all of these thermal couples and pressure sensors and everything on the vehicle. we'll be getting all of that data back. we also are going to be getting back lots and lots of images. so we had images that were taken while it was flying, with the cameras that are on the solar panels, but then there's also pictures. they even have divers from the navy go and take pictures as soon as they get there on the little boats of what the heat shield looks like. you also asked what other programs do we have going on? i can tell you that i personally am involved in some of the mars landing, which is -- so i'm working right now on a project that's looking at mars sample return. so that's the vehicle that will take the vehicle that lands on mars to collect the

what's the next step for nasa now? the next step is artemis 2.on at the kennedy space center, so they're building the next sls rocket in new orleans, it'll be shipped here early next year, then they will combine it with the orion later in the year and then, that mission, artemis 2, will carry four astronauts looping around the moon — they won't go into orbit but they'll go around the moon, about a ten—day flight. there'll be three americans and one canadian, so they'll be the first person, non—american, to fly. and europe, again, will be involved in that, building the european space agency service module. and then, you know, in the future, then the astronauts will land on artemis 3 and european astronauts will fly eventually in the future, too. and, of course, zooming out to look at one of the key goals of all of this, it's really about finding life beyond earth. why is that important? well, why is that important? that's like the most important question. are we alone in the universe, right? we only know one type of life here on earth. i'm a chemi
