this is very exciting how many people know robert bigelow? right appear in las vegas in north las vegas. and 2001 he invited a group of 15 or 20 space geeks me included here to las vegas and said he made a billion dollars in hotels and said i will spend half of that putting up private space stations. that i don't want regulators to screw things up. so they were talking about how to do that. so right up the road here is the those that have honeymoon suites or laboratories. so what is interesting he sets up in orbit for the modules that now a test module on the iss if you can to beat them, join them and to put this up on the stage it's very exciting. but we want to talk about mars elon musk famously said i want to die on mars but not on landing there. [laughter] that is understandable. it is his vision to go to mars and he has been very innovative with his rockets and before it was actually the public he actually now has the rocket so you could send it up and put the satellite into iorbit and bring it down and reuse it again. and again that som

how many of you know robert bigelow? yeah, he is right up here in las vegas.he invited a group of 15-20 of space geeks. he made $1 billion i guess in his hotels. is that i want to spend half of that putting a private space stations. so we had to three days talking about how to do that. of course what he came up with, are these inflatable modules. which he hopes to use as orbiting hotels, laboratories and moon bases. what's interesting is he sets up in orbit, there is now test module on the international space station. we wanted to talk about mars so let me get back to mars. elon musk famously said i want to die on mars but not on landing there. and very understandable. it is his vision to go to mars. you can send it up and put the satellite in orbit or whatever it is. wring it down and reuse it again. and he's looking at building big, big rockets. that's the saturn five. it's not to perspective but building something comparable to the saturn five that can launch to a place like mars. consider this for example. some years back- - there we go. okay. the rocket h

how many of you guys know robert bigelow? he is right up here in las vegas, north las vegas and i think it was 2001, he invited a group of about 15 or 20 space geeks, me included by the way to las vegas and he said he made $1 billion in his hotels and he said i want spend half of that putting up private space stations and i want to make sure that i don't run afoul of regulators and so forth who screwed things up. so we had to three days talking about how to do that what he came up with and again, it's right up the road here in las vegas is the inflatable modules which he hopes to use as orbiting hotels, honeymoon suites, laboratories and moon bases and what's interesting is the sense of an orbit to one third size of these modules and there is now test modules on the international space station so nasa sort of, if you can't beat them join them, nassau contracted out with bigelow to put this up on the station, very exciting . but we wanted to talk about mars so let me get back to mars. elon musk famously said i want a guy on ma

by the way that is why i presented robert bigelow writeup the road watching tv looking she's got a passion for it but for example part of what he wants to do is to build infrastructure in orbit. in other words let's say you want to put something up right now you have to have your own batteries into this or that so you can say we can't do that because of these reasons. the infrastructure is there they just have to put the plug in and do our thing. so, you are right about that. survival on mars, everyone's all oeveryonesaltmarsh and i assumes a really cool flick. quick comment. the society at its national conference october 17 to 20th at the university of california in los angeles if anybody wants to learn more, it's a good opportunity. my question you said quite understandably you don't want to predict time. could you predict who will be first would be nasa or the one mosque or some other entity and will the regime be changed to allow humans to be on mars because of the current regulations you wouldn't even be allowed to set foot. >> i was still probably back going they're not dying on the
