we're working with nasa on orion. so we're committed. melissa: talk about that.t does the future look like? nasa committed 17 billion or the u.s. is spending 17 billion with nasa. that appeals in comparison if you compare it to today's dollars what they have spent in the past. how has the aerospace industry changed and what is the path for you?. >> there are six astronauts up there doing research. we tend to forget about that but it is ongoing the research out of that. we're developing a new commercial transportation system that will take crews on a u.s. system up the space station. then beyond that, we're developing a, big rocket, bigger than the apollo rocket that will carry the orion capsule deep into space to do human space travel back to the moon, to an asteroid and eventually on to mars. melissa: wow. >> it is interesting. houston brought us the moon. in the future we're going to bring the united states and the world mars. humans on mars. it is an amazing thing. melissa: how far away is that? >> we're out there in the 200 time frame. melissa: really? >> we'

i miss you. >> orion was a bright light from the second that we saw him.e was very aware of his surroundings. he was over the moon to see his dad. he knew oddly enough that he was in a place where his dad didn't belong. >> there's your daddy. >> your daddy. >> that's your daddy, huh? he was so excited to see you. he kept saying, i'm going to see my daddy, i'm going to see my daddy. you know what he said, too? >> what? >> he said, this is a castle. we're going to the castle. >> oh, yeah, castle? >> he thinks it's a castle. >> daddy. daddy. >> hey. >> he's stuck in the mirror. >> yeah. >> i can't get out my daddy. >> hearing that little kid say to his family i need to get my daddy out of the mirror was heartbreaking and as you can see now, i well up very easily. and i was over in the corner bawling. it was just horrible. >> there's my dad. there's my daddy. my daddy. >> daddy. you look like your daddy. >> daddy. >> later on after the visit while we were still filming at limon, jonathan was shipped out to a much more restrictive prison, but he seems pretty re

we are developing a human capsule called orion.f this is happening while the average american thinks that the space program is over, because they have attached the visible evidences of the space program naturally to the space shuttle over the course of three decades, and when the space shuttle was shut down, that naturally leads people to the conclusion that it's over and now we are ramping up this whole new system to get us out of low earth orbit. when apollo was developed, other than the goal of getting to the moon and back, it was also then utilized for other things. a thaw in the cold war and the rendezvous and docking of a soviet spacecraft and an american spacecraft, which was the forerunner to bringing all of this cooperation that we now share with russia on the international space station. so, my question to you all is, as we develop the sls and orion, what do you see as the full potential of that system? mr. maser let's start with you. what would be some examples of the types of mission that the sls and orion would make po

>> yeah, i'm good. >> i miss you. >> i miss you, too. >> here's orion. can you say i love you, daddy? >> i love you, daddy. >> i love you too. i miss you. when i heard him say i love you, it felt good. i mean, there's not much i can say. it just really touched me that he called me daddy because it would have been easy for him not to. he didn't get a chance to know my like that. >> daddy is stuck. he's stuck in the mirror. >> yeah. >> i can't get out my daddy. >> i always wanted jonathon to be a part of my son's life, no matter what. i'm so excited that he's taken to the fact that this is your daddy. i know it hurts him, though, because he's out there saying daddy's stuck. so i know it's still hard for him. because once we leave here, i think it's going to really hurt him more than anything. >> orion -- >> put your hand up. >> how are you doing? >> all of it is depressing. what can you say? you know, you want to hug him. and everything else. and it's like, you know, like you lost your son, like he's dead. >>> coming up -- on "lockup: extended stay." >> wh

and sls but orion and sls alone will not get you to an asteroid.there are other vehicles, the space habitation module that can support a crew in a time that it takes to actually get to an asteroid propulsion capability and that sort of thing. i think those are all potentially components of a true deep-space exploration system to which international partners could potentially be invited to contribute and so you know in my opening remarks i stress there is a big piece of the puzzle missing. we want to build an asteroid to go back to the moon and certainly to go to mars but right now we have got the ability to launch a lot of mass off the surface of the earth and work with us a lesson we have the ability to support a crew for 21 days with orion and those are met matheson and necessary capabilities. they are necessary but they are not sufficient so i think looking to capable, committed international partners as we have done so spectacularly well with the international space station, i mean what a giant that has been, is something we should look at. >>

my question to all of you as we develop orion, what do you see as the full potential of that system?at the sls and orion would make possible? >> well, certainly is getting beyond the low earth orbit. this will enable us to do that first and foremost. we can start to test all of the new technologies that have developed an evolved since we had last been there. it would leverage some of the human science that is been going on in the space station as we get beyond for an extended period of time in the radiation environment and other environments. there are a number of missions. an asteroid has been identified as one. we need a fallback plan. there has been discussions going on of other interesting points where there is gravitational pulls over bodies. we can learn more over that. eventually, we will need a lander. eventually we will need a series of missions that are incrementally more difficult. the general pattern makes a lot of sense. you have the robotic precursor missions. learn to live off of the planet. be on the moon for a period of time. once you learn to live off the planet, yo
