army plan to put a base on the moon. lled project horizon and this was turned into the eisenhauer administration in 1958. it was a very short study, i think four to six months and von braun was part of this. i don't think he was as intimately involved as he would have liked to have been because if you read this, and i've read it a couple of times, it doesn't show the attention to detail, but the general idea was, that we needed to build a base on the moon before the russians got there because you could do science, you could kind of hold that piece of real estate against invasion and by the way, we're not going to talk about it too much. you could put nuclear weapons there, and aim them at earth. and it would take two or three days to get there. this proposal is graphicically challenged bear with me, that's as good as illustrations get. that's not me, thanks goodnessment they were going to dig the trenches and fly in containers to the surface, using numbers of rockets. the largest one they had at the time. this is the u.s.

did we have to go to the moon? know. we decided to do it because we were pretty sure we could do it before the bad guys did and that was one of the big reasons. i think it will be okay. thank you.

we like to go back to the moon all by ourselves. ad a novel that came out in the 70s and i remember he was a getting it in place and that it would work. what they did is rammed down cable and he was convinced he talked about the alternative. >> if you took the studies between the private groups or some life belonged to the basic idea is you have a tether attached to the ground that goes up to space so it is staying in one place over the ground. the biggest problem besides the scale is getting to the point to go out which is a problem. there is no reason it can't forget just how do we get it to work. these internet-based billionaires came along and said i'm going to do this because i want to. he has a contract with the probably build some engines for a company. so far it's been his money because he wants to make rocke rockets. it's the drive of these people and what they are willing to put up. about 115 million of his own money and the first four did not work and a couple of them since then haven't worked so it is a brave step. >> the

this is a negative image so you can see the moon looks dark and the sky looks white. when it's printed out it would look like a white moon with a dark background. these moon plates taken at lick observatory are some of the finest images of the moon in existence. particularly from that time period. and are routinely used in textbooks even today when you are learning about the moon. lick observatory was not only doing research on the moon back in the 1800's and 1900's but we had a key part to play in the apollo 11 mission. neil armstrong and buzz aldrin put on the moon in their first trip a reflector, that if light came in it would be sent back along the same path. we here at lick observatoryudes our largest telescope, the 120-inch diameter telescope, to shoot a laser at the moon to hit that reflector and send that light back to us which we detected with that same three-meter telescope that yielded the most accurate measurement of the distance to the moon ever done to that point. james lick unfortunately didn't get to see his monument finish hesmed died in 1876 and was o

man on the moon reading a map of the moon. why was he reading the map? because he was lost. that, to me, is just a brilliant, beautiful. the book is about failure. how do you define failure? you have a program failure but also individual failure and that often leads to people being lost or feeling like they are lost. because i write narrative non fiction and it is character based i care about the people i write about and how it is the metaphor for the big story. when mitchell told me about bogue lost on the moon, and the brief version, i write about it in "phenomena" and keep in mind apollo 14 comes after apollo 13, the failed moon mission. it was so much pressure on them to perform. the geologist wanted them to go to crane crater and pull out rock samples and believed those samples could provide earth's origins and the moon. you cannot have much more pressure on you. he now, and shepherd, that was their mission. they fly 240,000 miles to get the moon. mitchell was the pilot and lands within 87 feet of the target and then they get lost locally trying to find cone crater. it

he shared with me how disappointed he felt on the trip home from the moon. but looking at one of the five windows of the spacecraft he had what he said was an epiphany. he looked out into him he realized that man was more than he previously thought. he became fascinated in that moment with the idea of consciousness and what is make capable of. that's why think my new book is really about the reaches of what can be known. mitchell came home, quit nassau, divorce his wife amanda friends and began this project tree into the world of esp and psychokinesis. he suffered dearly. some say he got lost. but that's not what mitchell said. . . ed mitchell with that kind f a snickering journalist pointed out that he conducted these espn expanded on the way to and from the moon. he suffered because of it. all of his colleagues were these hard scientist. he himself was. he had a phd from mit. but he had what is called a conversion moment. again another important thing in the book "phenomena." uyet scientists, businesses, individuals who have these conversion moments when de

the sky. when printed out, it would be a white moon with the dark background and these moon plates are some of the finest images of the moon in existence, particularly from that time period and routinely used in textbooks even today when you are learning about the moon. luke observatory was not only doing research in the late 180's, buzz aldrin and buzz rmstrong put on the moon the lunar recktrow reflector, as lights came in, the light would be sent along the same path. we used our largest telescope to reflector and send theoon totht laser light back to us, with that same three-meter telescope, and that yielded a most accurate measurement of the distance to the mood ever done at that point. unfortunately, did not get to see the finished. he died and was initially buried at the cemetery, but his final wish was to actually be buried at his monument, and so james anddisinterred in 1887 re-interred here, and so he is literally at the base of the telescope. >> so we are at the casa grande quicksilver mining museum in santa clara county, california. this museum interprets the 4,000-acre park across

so they fly 240,000 miles to get to the moon. mitchell was the pilot on the lander. he lands within 87 feet of the target, and then they get lost locally. trying to find the crater. it doesn't get any more human. and they had come when they found out they were lost and, of course, this speaks to many issues a perspective, where do you think you are versus where are you really come in that airless environment. made became confused and you can read all these transcripts, we are lost and we think we're here, we either. nas is tried to help them. the heart rates are going up. nasa gave him 30 more minutes and they couldn't find their way to the crater. there were told to go home. and so hearing from mitchell about this disappointment, going all the way there and missing what turned out to be the target by about 1000 feet, you know, it's amazing. he shared with me how disappointed he felt on the trip home. but looking out one of the five windows on the spacecraft he had what he said was an epiphany. he looked out and to him he realized that man was more than he previously

and the alien bases on the far side of the moon. how they breed -- weave their weight through this.su because i write about the subjects from a cia or dod filter for me it's interesting to look at how they deal with these subject matters. because in the book phenomenon if you are prone to esp or psychokinesis for a lot of these individuals that leads to other ideas that are along the lines of what the color was talking about. as a report in the book. it became a real problem because they didn't know how to set ground rules like you can think and talk to aliens but has to occur at home outside of the military environment. and instead you a couple of these individuals her were using government time and money to conduct their own experiments using remote viewing to try to do thesethat e ideas that they are talking about. the declassified documents is fascinating they were concerned. ultimately they have that. are you aware of positions were tired of working that actively debunk paranormal phenomena for the benefit of the public at large

rise of the rocket girls is her book the women who propelled us from missiles to the moon to mars and she joins us now here in the gallagher theatre on the campus of the university of arizona. nathalia holt, what was the common commonality you found among these women? >> these are women who loved math and science, but they were coming of age at a time that just wasn't an option for women. they were going to school theco 1930s and 1940s and were frequently the only women in their math and science classes. i heard that over and over again so you can imagine how it felt for them to come together and be part of this large group of women looking at the object report propulsion laboratory. >> did nasa have a specific program that encouraged this? scenic nasa started in 1958 and these women were hired in the 1940s and they were hired by a woman named macy roberts and the reason she hired all women was because she felt like if she hired men they wouldn't listen to her simply because she was a woman and wanted to create ared cohesive group of women that worked for nasa for 40 or 50 years. one

samples of the waters erupting from the moon's surface suggest it has all the conditions needed for life. today we are publishing a paper about our recent findings by cassini on enceladus. we have detected hydrogen in the plume of enceladus, coming from a hydrothermal vent on the sea floor of enceladus, going out into space through the plume, and so this is a very significant finding because the hydrogen could be a potential source of chemical energy for any microbes that might be in enceladus' ocean. with me now is david a rothery. he's a professor of planetary geosciences at the open university, and has been following nasa's announcement. we have car aside the name of the moon, tell us about it in other senses. it is a small, i see body and it was a surprise to find it was so and it was a surprise to find it was so active. when they found the plumes erupting from it, we thought, wow, the bottom of the icy layer must be liquid. so the rock is hard and now we have got everything that is coming out because the surface is fractured and some water is going out into space. we have got all th
