gene: good morning, starship.gene has filmed and photographed every launch. gene: i just love all the different angles you can get out here, and go back and look. you're like, "oh, that one's good." sarah: so you weren't a big space nerd before? gene: oh, heck no. sarah: no, nothing? you weren't into it? gene: surfer. sarah: yeah. what is it that got into your imagination? gene: you just said the word: "imagination." the possibilities, going setting up a base on mars. sarah: mm-hm, what do you think about elon musk? gene: he's cool and he's a big dork. sarah: he's a big what? gene: ha, ha, ha, no, i like him, man. he's so, like, just, i dunno, outgoing and friendly and normal. sarah: nothing normal about what's happening here, though. gene: no man, i love it. he dreams big, and goes for it. sarah: would you go, if you could? gene: to where, mars? no, there's no surf there. sarah: [laughing] gene: no. maryliz: in position. sarah: maryliz and ryan post their material on their youtube channel, cosmic perspective, to

enterprise, which he told me was a metaphorfor starship earth and the strength of this starship is inch contributing his or her vantage point, background, experiential history, cultural background. but what you say is fascinating because in a sense, you're acknowledging that your casting in the role of sulu was, to use a blunt and arguably a difficult word, tokenistic. you were something of a token. it was an amazingly positive token at that time. it was notjust casting an asian face because he was a leader. he had interesting qualities about him. his hobby was fencing of all things. initially, the script had me going crazy with a samurai sword, but i told the writer, "that's ethnically consistent "because i'm of japanese ancestry." but when i was a kid, i saw the adventures of robin hood starring errol flynn, and i was enamoured of swashbucklers. and i said, "why not put a fencing foil in sulu's hand?" and he said, "yeah, this is science fiction. why not?" and that was one of my most successful episodes. i remember that episode. i mean, you were a very prominent character, and so was

it's called the starship, a cheap steel tube that can carry a huge payload.p is the next-generation rocket, and it looks just like, you know, a 1950s science fiction rocketship. if it works, it could be a further revolution in the cost of getting to orbit. rapid reuse, very huge payloads going into space, being able to carry very large numbers of people into space. he needs this if he wants to settle mars in the long run, and--but, you know, it's been a bit of a rocky road so far. he'slown up quite a few test articles. richard branson: having maybe something really sexy. female: three, two, one, release, release, release. male: fire. male: fire! michael: spacex isn't the only company developing cheaper space transport. male: welcome to the club, astronauts. michael: richard branson has plans to develop commercial spacecraft for space tourism. jeff bezos: we've been working on this lander for three years. michael: and amazon founder, jeff bezos, is also developing rockets to carry humans into space and spacecraft to deliver cargo to the moon. jeff: we have her

, 100 tons to orbit for just the cost of fuel, this is one of those areas where i think starship couldlete before they're even launched. so this is definitely an area to watch. >> wow it's pretty incredible to put that in focus given the fact that nasa just in recent weeks has started to doll out some money for some of these future commercial space habitats. as an investor, key areas that you are putting money to work or looking at to potentially put money to work in 2022 and beyond right now? >> yeah. one of which is space traffic management so, we have a lot of growth happening in that area the number of satellites that was launched in 2020 was 20x the amount that was launched ten years earlier. the 3,000 satellites that are in orbit today are expected to grow to 50 to 100,000 over the next ten years. so, understanding those orbits and how to operate safely there is really important. we've invested in leo labs, a company that has a ground -- network of ground-based radars that's tracking those things and they're tracking star link satellites so a lot of growth in this area. and star

there's starship from spacex.it will attempt to fly around the earth. then there's nasa's ultra powerful space launch system, which will blast off and send a crew capsule called orion into orbit. no people will be on board for either of these test flights, but if they're a success, astronauts could soon be taking a ride. back on earth and it will be another critical year for climate change. at november's climate summit in glasgow a deal was reached to try and limit global warming. but it was clear that plans to cut emissions didn't go far enough, so in 2022 the world will meet again, this time in egypt. nations have been asked to return with more ambitious pledges. the question is, will this be enough to stop the worst impacts of climate change? and — remember the large hadron collider? it's the world's most powerful particle accelerator and its discoveries of the higgs boson and dozens of other subatomic particles have changed our understanding of physics. but for the last three years, it's not been operating. th

it is my -- i was in "starship troopers."

musk's spacex has won a nasa contract for its starship to carry astronauts to the surface of the moonl reef, a sort of floating business park. while the commercial space race is hot and at full throttle, the u.s. is not alone. china is putting astronauts in space, already building its own space station, with plans to put humans on the moon as soon as 2030. and then there's mars, the ultimate goal. this year nasa pulled off yet another first. after landing a rover on the surface, it flew a helicopter, a drone, really, over the martian surface. here's nasa's animation, and here's the actual chopper flight, so far from earth it had to fly itself, making 500 calculations per second. >> we have done it. this is the first time i've been able to say we've done it. >> reporter: it's a vast universe holding billions of galaxies and hundreds of billions of planets. so what are the chances that we're not alone, that life exists on at least one of those planets? the problem, we humans love sci-fi, and we tend to think of aliens as the characters we see on tv and in the movies. >> e.t. phone home.
