1
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,629
this week at nasa

2
00:00:16,310 --> 00:00:13,270
nasa's mars rover opportunity has

3
00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:16,320
reached its next destination three years

4
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:18,720
after climbing out of victoria crater

5
00:00:23,349 --> 00:00:20,800
opportunity has reached the rim of

6
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:23,359
endeavour crater at a spot informally

7
00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:26,160
named spirit point after the rovers

8
00:00:31,029 --> 00:00:27,920
decommissioned twin

9
00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:31,039
at 14 miles in diameter endeavour is an

10
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:33,520
inviting work site for opportunity

11
00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:35,680
orbital observations indicate that the

12
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:39,040
ridges along its western rim expose rock

13
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:41,840
outcrops older than any opportunity has

14
00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:45,120
seen so far you see in its rim evidence

15
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:47,920
of clay minerals and clay minerals are

16
00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:49,760
class of minerals that form in neutral

17
00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:52,320
ph water so this is very exciting from

18
00:00:57,510 --> 00:00:54,879
the possibility of mars at one time

19
00:00:59,510 --> 00:00:57,520
being a habitable planet opportunity and

20
00:01:02,869 --> 00:00:59,520
spirit completed their three-month prime

21
00:01:05,509 --> 00:01:02,879
missions on mars in april 2004

22
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:05,519
both rovers continued for years of bonus

23
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:07,840
extended missions making important

24
00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:09,760
discoveries about wet environments on

25
00:01:16,149 --> 00:01:11,680
ancient mars that may have been

26
00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:18,870
the 21st century will be won

27
00:01:23,590 --> 00:01:21,200
by those who innovate by those who seek

28
00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:23,600
breakthroughs by those who create that

29
00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:25,360
future and i'm here to tell you today

30
00:01:28,469 --> 00:01:26,400
that nasa

31
00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:28,479
is doing that chief technologist bobby

32
00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:30,640
braun headed a group of agency officials

33
00:01:35,749 --> 00:01:33,600
speaking at the latest nasa future forum

34
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:35,759
held at the university of maryland the

35
00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:37,840
day-long future forum brought together

36
00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:38,960
technology

37
00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:41,280
scientists and engineers along with

38
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:43,439
local business science technology and

39
00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:45,040
education leaders

40
00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:46,880
panel discussions addressed nasa's

41
00:01:51,109 --> 00:01:48,720
future role in advancing american

42
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:51,119

43
00:01:55,429 --> 00:01:53,520
engineering education and economic

44
00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:55,439
growth we are very optimistic about the

45
00:01:59,429 --> 00:01:57,280
future we're very optimistic about what

46
00:02:00,870 --> 00:01:59,439
can be done we go from dreams to

47
00:02:02,230 --> 00:02:00,880
aspiration

48
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:02,240
to pursuit

49
00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:03,759
to achievement

50
00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:04,960
and i believe

51
00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:07,040
that sequence has been borne out time

52
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:09,920
and time again at nasa in the past

53
00:02:14,710 --> 00:02:12,080
is being born out in the present and

54
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:14,720
will be borne out in the future we must

55
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:16,480
take on audacious challenges as a

56
00:02:20,869 --> 00:02:18,720
country in order to continue to drive

57
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:20,879
forward and prosper math science

58
00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:22,720
engineering technology these are all the

59
00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:25,040
things that nasa is trying to do to

60
00:02:28,309 --> 00:02:26,160
ensure

61
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:28,319
that kids have the right tools to move

62
00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:29,760
forward but also the teachers have the

63
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:32,319
same thing nasa future forums are

64
00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:34,239
planned for other university campuses

65
00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:42,550
shuttle's endeavor and discovery have

66
00:02:45,509 --> 00:02:44,640
switched locations at the kennedy space

67
00:02:47,589 --> 00:02:45,519
center

68
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:47,599
technicians move discovery out of the

69
00:02:55,589 --> 00:02:50,000

70
00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:57,990
the two spacecraft were paused briefly

71
00:03:02,790 --> 00:03:00,480
to allow a nose-to-nose photo

72
00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:02,800
opportunity before discovery was moved

73
00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:06,400
into opf-1 and endeavour into the vab

74
00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:08,560

the program's alumni have gone on to top

191
00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:06,639
colleges and to positions in nasa and

192
00:08:10,469 --> 00:08:08,879
industry

193
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:10,479
the whole exhibit together really tells

194
00:08:14,309 --> 00:08:12,400
the nasa's story in an interesting way

195
00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:14,319
through the perspective of artists so

196
00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:15,919
it's very wonderful to sort of see them

197
00:08:18,869 --> 00:08:17,440
all together and it's rare that we have

198
00:08:20,869 --> 00:08:18,879
them all together like this the

199
00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:20,879
smithsonian's national air and space

200
00:08:27,189 --> 00:08:24,160
museum in washington is hosting nasa art

201
00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:27,199
50 years of exploration more than 70

202
00:08:31,909 --> 00:08:29,280
works ranging from the illustrative to

203
00:08:34,149 --> 00:08:31,919
the abstract present a different view of

204
00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:34,159
nasa than the one in history books or

205
00:08:38,630 --> 00:08:36,240
news accounts with art you really really

206
00:08:39,829 --> 00:08:38,640
see a different perspective and

207
00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:39,839
it's sort of processed through the

208
00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:41,680
artist's imaginations a very interesting

209
00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:43,760
way featured in this exhibition are

210
00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:46,160
works by artists as diverse as annie

211
00:08:52,070 --> 00:08:49,200
leibovitz andy warhol and william wegman

212
00:08:55,750 --> 00:08:52,080
i came over to nasa to make movies jim

213
00:08:58,150 --> 00:08:55,760
dean became nasa's first curator in 1962

214
00:09:00,550 --> 00:08:58,160
when then administrator james webb

215
00:09:02,949 --> 00:09:00,560
initially invited artists to illustrate

216
00:09:04,630 --> 00:09:02,959
and interpret the agency's missions and

217
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:04,640
projects when we looked at the

218
00:09:07,910 --> 00:09:05,920
photographs back then there was

219
00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:07,920
something missing you know all the facts

220
00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:10,399
were there but the excitement that you

221
00:09:15,110 --> 00:09:12,720
felt when you watched what was happening

222
00:09:15,910 --> 00:09:15,120
and you knew what we were trying to do i

223
00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:15,920
think

224
00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:19,440
where the artist can really fill that

225
00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:21,760
gap one of those invited was norman

226
00:09:26,710 --> 00:09:24,800
rockwell a stickler for detail rockwell

227
00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:26,720
realized upon returning from his trip to

228
00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:29,120
cape canaveral that he needed a real

229
00:09:33,910 --> 00:09:31,200
spacesuit to satisfactorily paint

230
00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:33,920
astronaut john young's and would dean

231
00:09:39,269 --> 00:09:35,680
please get one sent to his rural

232
00:09:41,430 --> 00:09:39,279
massachusetts studio so i called houston

233
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:41,440
as i recall the phone was slammed down

234
00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:44,560
in my ear after somebody said

235
00:09:48,949 --> 00:09:46,080
there's stuff in that suit that's

236
00:09:51,990 --> 00:09:48,959
classified you can't have that but dean

237
00:09:54,389 --> 00:09:52,000
persisted and soon by day the suit was

238
00:09:56,949 --> 00:09:54,399
being painted by rockwell in his studio

239
00:09:59,350 --> 00:09:56,959
and by night it was being watched in the

240
00:10:01,430 --> 00:09:59,360
stockbridge motel room by the nasa

241
00:10:03,590 --> 00:10:01,440
technician sent along to garden rocco

242
00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:03,600
was so pleased at getting the real thing

243
00:10:06,550 --> 00:10:04,640
to work with

244
00:10:07,509 --> 00:10:06,560
he put the technician in the in the

245
00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:07,519
painting

246
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:09,600
that would be joe schmidt there on the

247
00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:10,720
left

248
00:10:13,430 --> 00:10:12,320
if you could be down at the cape for a

249
00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:13,440
launch

250
00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:16,959
and see this array of cameras set up

251
00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:19,120
it's like an artillery range with these

252
00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:20,480
long lenses

253
00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:22,560
and then to see sitting on the ground an

254
00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:25,360
artist with a watercolor pad and his

255
00:10:29,269 --> 00:10:27,440
brushes and paint and doing that it was

256
00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:29,279
like somebody left over from another

257
00:10:33,910 --> 00:10:30,800
world that had been brought in to do

258
00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:33,920
this nasa art 50 years of exploration

259
00:10:37,750 --> 00:10:35,760
