tell them your connection to the moon. sure, i look at the moon every day. my name is robinson mangold. i'm a space light journalist covering the artemus program for the last 8 years. and i'm just a general fan of the moon in the solar system. i love that you on this show. hello, joey. welcome to the same, tell everybody who you are, what you think your connection to the moon please. hey, yeah, thanks for having me. excited to be here. i'm joey relapse. i'm a space reporter for reuters covering nasa and talking to experts like rick very good. i don't take, you danced back to last wednesday when this happened. rick, take a look. i want to hear how it felt to be right that just start $3.00 to $1.00 boosters and and lift off of this one. we rise together back to the moon and yon or is it like? oh it was, it was tremendous. it was i had the 2nd best seat in the house. obviously the best people house would have been from the coast of florida to watch it live. but the 2nd best seat was certainly in mission control. there was a buzz in the air and the team was just

the ryan capture swept a 130 kilometers above the moon on approach. and when our continue a larger all bit for 3 weeks, the spacecraft flew over the landing sights of apollo 1112 and 14 as it made the initial approach. as it's a test flight or no astronauts on board. all right, don't forget, you can find much more in all of our stories including that's a moon mission. and of course the world cup as well and away in cats are the address for our website. of course w, w, w dot al jazeera dot com, make sure you check out that ah, top stories on al jazeera, at least a 162 people have been killed after a magnitude 5.6. earthquakes struck indonesia, the governor of west chaff, a province as more than 320 people were injured with homes and buildings collapsed . emergency field hospitals have been set up to treat the injured official say. many of the dead of children. turkey, as president said, he's considering launching a ground military operation in northern syria. it comes after several rockets struck the district of cock army in southern turkey near the syr

just tap on the moon. it's about, you know, exploring science, scientific discovery and also inventing new technologies that can benefit other people. her yeah, this sounds like on the surface they may sound like high dollar amounts, but now i think it's a tremendous bang for the buck for the, for the us tax dollar. our budget is just about a half a penny of every tax dollar. and so if you think about all the other things that the u. s. government is involved in the, the amount of return on investment for the nasa budget is really quite tremendous. i'm just going to go yesterday. so if i right, really say not massive experimenting with more commercial models to bring the cost down of rockets like less. it's been very expensive and over budget and i think they're trying to work more towards a cheaper way to get to space. just going to bring in professor christopher ca canarsie spoke to us a little bit earlier. this about some of the warnings that we need to be careful about if we all going to be exploring a

and is on its way to the moon. following trans-lunar injection and the first orbital tra jeks correction burn earlier this morning, orion is now over 50,000 miles away from earth and we're beginning to see imagery from orion. most notably of the large main engine on the european service module, the orbital maneuvering system engine. we're also getting some views of the smaller auxiliary engines. located to the left and the right of the oms engine. there are eight onboard orion. now, again, that main engine that you're seeing, the largest engine, the orbital maneuvering system engine was used just a short time ago to perform a burn that lasted about 30 seconds. all went smoothly during that burn. the engine can provide 6,000 pounds of thrust and is quick to steer the spacecraft and can also be used in some abort cases to safely return orion to earth. this engine that you see in the center, the module there flew on 19 space shuttle flights beginning with sts-41-g in october of 1984 and ending with sts-112 in october o

the moon is an exciting target. it provides a historical record of the formation of our solar system and many of you may know science is dictated by the survey. in april, the national academies issued the astrobiology survey. it reinforced the importance of science on and around the moon and also on mars. for the first time ever it highlighted the importance of the integration between robotics and exploration in humans to achieve that science, that groundbreaking science. this is exemplified -- they called out the endurance mission, which is going to use robotics to gather samples from the dark crater on the moon and deliver them to astronauts to return home. it is a great example of achieving extraordinary science through the partnership. innovation also matters and is critical in the advancement of science and exploration. a commercial lunar payload service is a great example of how not only do we need to be innovative from a technical perspective but we need to evolve our models. jim spoke to this as well. with th

on the moon surface. sa partners will discuss how human and robotic expirations will secure a better future for us all. i am proud to introduce the moderator, ellen ochoa. also, the former director of the johnson space center, director of staff for the u.s. space force, nasa's associated administrator and the corporation and vp for customer operations at spacex. and deputy associated administrator at nasa for the science mission directive. [applause] >> wonderful. >> well, good morning. thank you for joining us. it is an exciting time. i think pam set the stage wonderfully. we are on the cusp of this centuries moon expiration with many capabilities and developments by a wide variety of organizations. some are ready to be demonstrated. we are excited about the upcoming artemis one. -- artemis 1. with leaders, civilians, and government in industry. we will start off with the panelists giving a few minutes of an overview of their organizations key objectives and key partnerships. why don't we start with you?

now, going back to the moon to go to mars. that, i think is going to engender a great deal of support on crop -- capitol hill. >> question. in the second row. >> hi, angela of the houston chronicle. manager nelson, it is essential for getting nasa authorization act passed. use of the legislative side. in re got implemented and rocket off the ground. i'm curious how your perspective changed from when you're writing the bills and implementing. what that experience has been like. do you think you would see things differently not you have been on the side. thank you. >> the first thing that i did when we got back to the building was i sent a text to senator kay bailey hutchinson, who was my partner in crafting the legislation back 12 years ago. as soon as i could get their address, i will all -- also be texting rob neighbors, who was an assistant in the white house to president obama. and to jack lew, who was the director of the omb at the time. he became the chiefs of staff to president obama. and then he ended up as secretary of

so we want to put our astronauts back on the moon. on, artemis 2 looping around the moon. so eventually we want to have a base on the moon. so it's a progression of ever more ambitious missions. and then this eventually will lead to mars, sending humans to mars in the 2030s. and just very briefly, what's the point in this? we have bigger problems closer to home that we should be focusing on, no? we have a lot of problems on earth and we should be solving them. but we have to advance our technology. and if we don't do that... i'm a medical researcher, you just had a story on about medical research. so we need to push the bounds of technology everywhere. we can'tjust sit here on earth and not advance. otherwise we will cease as a species. so we must move forward both at home and in space. and we must maintain our leadership in space so we maintain our leadership over our adversaries like china, because they're definitely going. our friends watching in the us celebrate thanksgiving this thursday — and president biden has been marking the

nasa's artemis spacecraft has arrived at the moon, and begun its first orbit. ace and was out of contact for 3h minutes as it passed the far side of the moon. former astronaut chris hadfield, whose 20—year career in space saw him command the international space station, gave us his thoughts about what the artemis mission means for future space exploration. it's been a long time since a vehicle that could carry people was that close to the surface of the moon. to me that is hugely exciting. when i was a boy, that's when people first went to the moon so exploration and settlement, it always takes time. to me it is wonderful that we have the technology now to be able to get that close and the doors that it is opening stop in some of those images not only can you see the surface of the earth but you can, the surface of the moon, but you can look back and see the entire earth as one place. just an amazing perspective. dr ken kramer is a research scientist and founder of the space up close website. hejoins us now from florida. good to see you. you were at the launch,

but tell us, how is this going to develop as far as what's expected from the moon. it's being used as a launch pad isn't a to go further into space and, and here's a places like math. that is, that's absolutely right. so the middle of the, in the 1st instance is if, if it's possible to get astronauts back on to the moon. and even before that, they'll be sort of like robotic experiments. we want to set up a base on the moon. i'm to see whether there are resources that we can take from the moon, and so they'll be an experiment to draw full for ice to see if as ice below the surface. that's a cause important because ice means water, we need more to, to live ice means oxygen, we need oxygen to breathe. and then you can build up a base there. but of course, you also want to be able to, while people in the space community want to be able to travel beyond the moon, to mars. and they're already talking about beyond miles so into deep, deep space. um, this is all 7 years and years and years down the track because we're still, you know, trying to get a rocky off the ground or

this is going to the far side of the moon. t interviewed bill nelson a short time ago. it will be on the today show in the morning. but bill nelson said, make no mistake about. it russia is no longer our chief competitor as it relates to space. it is china. and he was a very candid that he does not trust china right now because china is not being forthcoming about what its goals are, what is hoped are for the moon. and his view -- of bill nelson's view, the administrator of nasa -- 's that china could decide that they are going to stake a claim, maybe where the water is, and the frozen ice on the south pole of the moon -- if china gets their first, and potentially locks out western countries, that could be a problem. >> and the south pole is exactly where they want to build a lunar base, americans, that. is >> because there is water there. -- to fuel your rocket to go on to mars. and a spectacular night here at the kennedy space center morning here. nbc's lindsey reiser and myself, and a phenomenal day for nasa, as artemis is n

the next one will take astronauts around the moon. and the one after that would happened on the moon. all of this is in preparation to launch from the moon, years from now, to get to mars. oh we are taking baby steps here, but it is a big deal, because this is the first major rocket project of its type since saturn, when we landed on the moon. >>> a lot of people say we went to the machine with 1960s technology. why is it so hard to go back again? a lot of it has to do with frankly, political will and the interest of investing public funds. we finally have been focused on it now. >> it is great to see. who knows what will come in the next couple of years? >> brian cooley, thank you so much. >>> students as young as 7, happened cuffed at school. the troubling trend, and what one family hopes to do about it. >>> high appreciate is ridging its way back into california. and it is bringing more offshore winds. it continues to circulate those winds offshore, even as we head into the rest of the forecast today. slowly, they'll start to push b

i mean the earned china urban has its own ambitions for the moon. and in terms of, you know, that space faces. well, china was the 1st to land on the, the so called m farsighted them in what we, what we call the dark side of the moon, globally, simply because we can't see of it at the far side of the moon, a space station, l, there a huge questions over the future, the international space station, of course, there we have, you know, the so called western countries like america, europe, japan, and then russia. russia's already said it sees no future for the international space station after 2024. so therefore, the date of 20251 year later for artemus 3 to get asked milton to the moon, various earth significant. but you can also see other smaller players, israel, the u. e. m. many other countries. and as you said, india getting a on the space game at all. see new industries and calls very important for industries on earth, but also just for this sense of domination. it's this is an opportunity to show that you are a big power and can speak in world ter

the artemis mission hopes to put estimates back on the moon by 2025. joining us now from washington, d.c. is in astrobiologist, and former nasa employee. this first part of the mission is meant to prove that the orion capsule is safe. so is it? guest: it would seem that it is, and this is the first time in 50 years that we have sent a human rated spacecraft around the moon. wh i was in high school -- before you ask. nicole: but this is only a first step, the mission is not yet over. what is next? guest: hopefully we will go through all the maneuvers to make sure that all t parts work and hopefully it will come back and land, then we will take e spacecraft to see how it performed anso forth, and then hopefully it will pass those tests, and it will be ready for the next flight in a couple of years. nicole: nasa is preparing to bring humans back to the moon within a few years on board artemis 3 if i am not mistaken. in this endeavor, nassar called what we saw today a game changer. would you agree? guest: i would. again, but one -- the vehicle that is going

well, hopefully i'm, we're going to go through all the maneuvers around the moon. make sure that all the parts work then hopefully it will come back on my end. and then we'll take the spacecraft part to see how it performed and so forth. and then hopefully it'll get, it'll passes test and it'll be ready for the next flight, which will be in a couple of years. nasa is preparing to bring humans back to the moon within a few years on board of arda. miss 3, if i'm not mistaken, in this endeavor, nasa has called what we thought to day. a game changer would you agree? i would because again, you know, when i was a young boy, we went to the moon, but that was in a rather simple spacecraft. the vehicle that is going there today is much more capable and it's designed to not just go to the moon but to possibly go to other places. so ah, being able to put something like this funeral orbit again, this is an international space for part of it's don't europe, there's experiments inside of their, from a dozen or so country. so it's more than just our spacecraft. it's kind of the wo

actually, it's in such a high orbit on the moon, and it could actually go from the moon to mars. but 1st, it needs to leave planet earth. each launch costs and estimated $4000000000.00. nasa is feeling the heat from critics who say, author miss is a costly waste. technicians said i fixed the fueling problems, though they still can't guarantee a successful lift off. and before we go, his a reminder of our top stories. nato allies are expressing solidarity with poland. following reports, the russian missiles at the village, near the ukrainian border killing to holland has put its military on the lid. russia denies that its missiles have struck polish territory. incident came on the day when russia launched and the wife of miss al, strikes on targets across he cried, at least to have been killed. explosions were also reported in other cities. that's all for me. for now that we more news headlines at the top of the stuff sometimes a seed is all you need to allow big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning pass like global ideas. we will show you

that there may be useful resources on the moon, in particular near the south pole of the moon and sometalk about going to mars. although, in addition, i would say thatjust the experience of working on the surface of another planetary body, remember, we haven't done that for 50 years. we need to build back some of our experience, some of our expertise and that will also help us eventually to get to mars. you say we haven't — eventually to get to mars. you say we haven't done _ eventually to get to mars. you say we haven't done that _ eventually to get to mars. you say we haven't done that for _ eventually to get to mars. you say we haven't done that for 50 i eventually to get to mars. you say we haven't done that for 50 years. why haven't we done it for so long? i remember as a little boy watching the moon landing, huge excitement and then it all stopped, the expiration of the moon. ides i and then it all stopped, the expiration of the moon. as i did with great _ expiration of the moon. as i did with great excitement. - expiration of the moon. as i did with great excitement. but i expir

back to the moon and beyond. es a charm — the artemis i rocket finally heads to the moon in an historic moment for nasa. welcome to bbc news. world leaders have been holding emergency talks at the 620 summit — after poland said two people were killed by a missile that landed near its border with ukraine. authorities in poland and ukraine say the explosion was caused by russian—made artillery — but moscow has denied involvement in the strike. polish officials said the missile landed in przewodow, on the ukrainian border, near lviv. early reports had suggested russia was to blame for the blast, but overnight, us presidentjoe biden said it was "unlikely" the missile had been launched from russia. the blast came as russia launched one of its biggest missile strikes across ukraine yesterday, which knocked out power to cities including the capital kyiv. the american leader was speaking on the sidelines of the 620 summit in bali. , ., ., ., ., bali. there is information that contests that. _ bali. there is information th

we worked on from the earth to the moon. we have worked on multiple productions for tom hanks, such as magnificent isolation. from the earth to the moon. we did first man. we have done exhibit tree workers all over the world. we built a ufo, of all things, for a museum in taiwan. our team just traveled to d. c. last week to build the display exhibit frame for the apollo 11 command module. so they went out there to install it. our team is one of the foremost experts at restoration. they have built-in expertise on fabricating replicas are doing exhibit work. it is a division of ours, but it is one that does generate revenue for the operation. very proud, absolutely. >> i am going to have to come visit, that sounds so cool. >> it is. in fact, our guys are getting ready to leave in three weeks to go to brazil. sÃo paulo brazil, they are setting up an exhibit down there that we are supporting. and then sometime this fall they will go to warsaw poland. there is another during exhibition that we support. and then we are talking with

no astronauts are on board, but it's a key step towards the using the moon as a launch pad for further space exploration. ah, i menu keeps mckinnon. thanks so much for joining us. nato secretary general young stockton berg says there is no indication that the missile, or which exploded in poland on tuesday was the result of a deliberate attack. sultan berg was speaking. after a crisis meeting of nato ambassadors in brussels, he said the blast was likely caused by a ukrainian air defense missile. 2 people were killed in the explosion in a town on the polish border with ukraine. initial u. s. findings had suggested the ukrainian military fire, the messiah, to shoot down an incoming russian rocket at a senior adviser to ukraine's president had blamed russia. the miss i'll struck poland as moscow launched wide spread strikes on ukraine, raising fears that nato might be dragged into direct conflict with russia as take a listen to the nato secretary general speaking a short while ago in brussels. but to have no indication that this was the assault or the deliberate attack, and you have no in
