lot of the teachers and students passing

through today have shown a real interest

54

in what we're doing their knowledge base

55
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:16,800
is very good at the moment i think a lot

56
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:19,840
of the media has highlighted attention

57
00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:22,480
to the greenhouse gases and the need to

58
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:24,319
probably do something about reducing

59
00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:25,760
their emissions from fossil fuel

60
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:28,160
combustion climate day also featured

61
00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:30,239

were able to quiz experts about the

65
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:39,200
latest research on earth's atmosphere

66
00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:46,309
dozens of teachers are conducting real

67
00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:48,560
science in an extreme environment

68
00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:50,640
through ames research center's spaceward

69
00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:53,360
bound project nasa has sent teachers to

70
00:02:58,710 --> 00:02:55,840
california state university's desert

71
00:03:00,869 --> 00:02:58,720
study center in zizex

72
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:00,879
here on the edge of the barren mojave

73
00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:03,040
desert they help conduct nasa-related

74
00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:05,120
field science the data and knowledge

75
00:03:10,229 --> 00:03:07,760
they glean at xyzx will be used to

76
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,239
develop experiments demonstrations and

77
00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:12,640
lesson plans for their students the

78
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,959
lesson we want them to learn is what

79
00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:16,560
it's like to explore

80
00:03:19,990 --> 00:03:18,080
environments that are remote but

81
00:03:21,509 --> 00:03:20,000
interesting like the moon like mars and

82
00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:21,519
to take that lesson back into their

83
00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:22,720
classrooms

84
00:03:25,990 --> 00:03:24,400
teach it to their students because those

85
00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:26,000
students are going to be the astronauts

86
00:03:28,949 --> 00:03:27,120
that are going to actually do that

87
00:03:31,589 --> 00:03:28,959
exploration on the moon and mars when we

88
00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:31,599
finally go there another spaceward-bound

89
00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:33,920
scheduled for mid-april in namibia will

90
00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:36,720
focus on hypolis a photosynthetic

91
00:03:41,670 --> 00:03:39,200
organism that lives underneath rocks in

92
00:03:44,070 --> 00:03:41,680
extreme desert environments

93
00:03:46,550 --> 00:03:44,080
and that's this week at nasa
