meeting astronauts had to be the coolest

57
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:24,319
thing because i've never met an

58
00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:26,080
astronaut and no one i know is a

59
00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:28,160
national school i want to become an

60
00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:30,640
astronaut because you can go out in

61
00:02:36,869 --> 00:02:33,840
space and have fun and you can

62
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:36,879
discover about planets and research

63
00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:39,680
about them at the same time

64
00:02:43,630 --> 00:02:42,879
and at another venue dc's verizon center

65
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:43,640
team

66
00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:48,160
battle it out the washington wizards and

67
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:50,400
the detroit pistons the astronauts

68
00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:52,560
participated in pregame activities

69
00:02:56,470 --> 00:02:54,879
bringing with them an nba jersey flown

70
00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:56,480
on their shuttle flight

71
00:03:00,869 --> 00:02:58,879
the jersey will be returned to the nba

72
00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:00,879
during the all-star game in dallas next

73
00:03:05,270 --> 00:03:02,720
month so one of the things we try to

74
00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:05,280
promote as astronauts is physical

75
00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:06,239
fitness

76
00:03:09,509 --> 00:03:07,920
and obviously

77
00:03:11,509 --> 00:03:09,519
you know there's no better example of

78
00:03:14,149 --> 00:03:11,519
being in shape than what's demonstrated

79
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:14,159
by these you know players in the nba and

80
00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:15,840
it's a lot of fun taking the jersey and

81
00:03:19,070 --> 00:03:17,120
we're having a lot of fun bringing it

82
00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:19,080
back and presenting it to the team the

83
00:03:23,910 --> 00:03:21,599
sts-129 astronauts aboard shuttle

84
00:03:26,070 --> 00:03:23,920
atlantis delivered parts including a

85
00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:26,080
spare gyroscope to the international

86
00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:28,799
space station

87
00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:31,280
nasa is testing segments of the primary

88
00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:33,680
mirror that'll help the james webb space

89
00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:35,680
telescope seek out star-forming

90
00:03:41,110 --> 00:03:38,080
planetary systems that connect the big

91
00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:41,120
bang with our own milky way galaxy

92
00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:44,239
over a period of five days six of the 18

93
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:46,480
webb telescope mirror segments will be

94
00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:49,840
chilled to minus 414 degrees fahrenheit

95
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:52,239
to ensure they can withstand the rigors

96
00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:54,640
of extreme space the tests are being

97
00:03:59,270 --> 00:03:56,400
conducted at the marshall space flight

98
00:04:01,670 --> 00:03:59,280
center's x-ray and cryogenic facility

99
00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:01,680
the world's largest x-ray telescope test

100
00:04:05,550 --> 00:04:02,799
facility

101
00:04:10,149 --> 00:04:05,560
designed to work primarily in infrared

102
00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:10,159
jwst measures 21.3 feet in diameter and

103
00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:12,000
will have a sun shield the size of a

104
00:04:17,189 --> 00:04:14,400
tennis court it's scheduled to launch in

105
00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:17,199
2014.

106
00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:18,880

107
00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:21,120
jeff williams is helping correspondent

108
00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:23,520

took off from the kennedy space center

113
00:04:37,189 --> 00:04:34,880
it was not only carrying supplies for

114
00:04:39,909 --> 00:04:37,199
the international space station it was

115
00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:39,919
carrying a special payload for us go

116
00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:42,479

118
00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,080
williams and the expedition 22 crew were

119
00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:48,479
asked by the network to randomly select

120
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:51,120
places on a globe for cbs to visit and

121
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:53,120
show how people there live

122
00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:54,800
williams's selections will introduce

123
00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:57,040

00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:11,280
turtles rescued from the kennedy space

130
00:05:16,469 --> 00:05:13,520
center should soon be heading back home

131
00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:16,479
to mosquito lagoon or the indian river

132
00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:18,800
kennedy employees teamed up with a fish

133
00:05:22,430 --> 00:05:20,880
and wildlife conservation commission to

134
00:05:24,469 --> 00:05:22,440
rescue the turtles from

135
00:05:27,029 --> 00:05:24,479
uncharacteristically cold waters during

136
00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:27,039
early january's cold snap the turtles

137
00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:29,120
were cold stunned a condition that

138
00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:30,960
occurs when water temperatures drop

139
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,280
below 60 degrees fahrenheit

140
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:35,520
uncommon in florida the last time that

141
00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:38,880
happened in the sunshine state was 1989.

142
00:05:43,990 --> 00:05:41,759
over several days more than 270

143
00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:44,000
endangered turtles were identified

144
00:05:48,550 --> 00:05:46,560
verified and shipped to facilities in

145
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:48,560
warmer environments where they were

146
00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:50,560
cared for while waiting out the extreme

147
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:51,600
cold

148
00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:53,440
kennedy is home to the merritt island

149
00:05:58,230 --> 00:05:55,840
national wildlife refuge and has

150
00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:58,240
numerous tropical and subtropical

151
00:06:02,230 --> 00:05:59,600
animals

152
00:06:04,670 --> 00:06:02,240
and that's this week at nasa for more on
