00:00:21,189 --> 00:00:18,240
nasa astronaut ron garan and his fellow

5
00:00:23,349 --> 00:00:21,199
expedition 28 flight engineers returned

6
00:00:25,349 --> 00:00:23,359
safely to earth with a landing on the

7
00:00:28,070 --> 00:00:25,359
steppe of kazakhstan

8
00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:28,080
garen and astronauts andre borjenko and

9
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:30,800
alexander somakutyaev had been on the

10
00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:32,960
international space station since april

11
00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:33,840
6.

12
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:35,920

agency the return of garen and his two

18
00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:50,960
crewmates was delayed just over a week

19
00:00:55,990 --> 00:00:53,280
by the august 24th failure of the

20
00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:56,000
progress 44 cargo craft to reach the

21
00:01:00,869 --> 00:00:58,399
station now that the russian federal

22
00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:00,879
space agency has identified the cause of

23
00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:03,760
the mishap crew flights to the iss will

24
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:07,119
tentatively resume on november 14th

25
00:01:12,710 --> 00:01:10,000
that's when the soyuz 28 spacecraft

26
00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:12,720
carrying nasa's dan burbank and russia's

27
00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:15,920

28
00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:17,439
is scheduled to lift off from the

29
00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:20,159
baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan

30
00:01:24,789 --> 00:01:22,080
they'll reach the station on november

31
00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:26,630
the next chapter of america's space

32
00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:28,799
exploration story is being written today

33
00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:30,880
administrator charlie bolden was on

34
00:01:35,749 --> 00:01:33,200
capitol hill for the announcement of

35
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:35,759
nasa's selected design of its new space

36
00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:42,469
the new heavy lift rocket will take nasa

37
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:44,799
astronauts farther into space than ever

38
00:01:49,749 --> 00:01:47,200
before the booster will be america's

39
00:01:51,670 --> 00:01:49,759
most powerful since the saturn v rocket

40
00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:51,680
that carried apollo astronauts to the

41
00:01:56,230 --> 00:01:54,320
moon and will launch humans to places no

42
00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:56,240
one has gone before

43
00:01:59,030 --> 00:01:57,920
we've got near-earth asteroids to go

44
00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:59,040
look at

45
00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:01,439
possible visits to the moon

46
00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:03,360
lagrangian points

47
00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:06,479
high earth orbit geosync orbit

48
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:08,160
lots of opportunities out there we just

49
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:10,319
have to sort out what makes sense the

50
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:12,080
selection ended a month-long

51
00:02:16,229 --> 00:02:13,920
comprehensive review of potential

52
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:16,239
designs to ensure the nation gets a

53
00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:18,720
rocket that is not only powerful but as

54
00:02:24,070 --> 00:02:21,280
new technologies are developed adaptable

55
00:02:26,869 --> 00:02:24,080
for different missions and destinations

56
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:26,879
the new sls will also create high

57
00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:29,760
quality jobs here at home as it provides

58
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:32,000
the cornerstone for america's future

59
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:34,480
human space exploration efforts

60
00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:36,560
president obama has challenged us at

61
00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:38,640
nasa to be bold and to dream big and

62
00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:41,040
that's exactly what we do

63
00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:43,280
while i was proud to fly on the space

64
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:44,480
shuttle

65
00:02:50,309 --> 00:02:46,560
tomorrow's explorers will dream of one

66
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:50,319
day walking on mars

67
00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:52,800
construction began recently on the first

68
00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:55,280
new nasa human spacecraft bound for

69
00:03:00,630 --> 00:02:57,440
orbit to be built since space shuttle

70
00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:00,640
endeavour left the factory in 1991

71
00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:02,959
engineers at nasa's misshud assembly

72
00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:05,360
facility in new orleans started welding

73
00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:07,599
together the first space-bound orion

74
00:03:12,309 --> 00:03:09,840
multi-purpose crew vehicle

75
00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:12,319
after welding is completed at michoud

76
00:03:16,149 --> 00:03:14,560
the orion spacecraft orbital test

77
00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:16,159
article will be shipped to the kennedy

78
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:18,480
space center where its heat shield will

79
00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:19,760
be installed

80
00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:22,000
at kennedy it will then undergo final

81
00:03:28,149 --> 00:03:24,799
assembly and checkout operations for

82
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:30,309
nasa has agreed to collaborate with

83
00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:32,720
alliant tech systems on the development

84
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:35,040
of atk's commercial liberty launch

85
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:35,920
system

86
00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:37,760
part of the agency's commercial crew

87
00:03:42,949 --> 00:03:40,400
development round 2 activities we are on

88
00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:42,959
time and on budget across the board on

89
00:03:48,390 --> 00:03:45,200
our milestones that we have projected

90
00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:48,400
nasa and atk will review and discuss all

91
00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:50,879
technical aspects of atk's liberty

92
00:03:55,509 --> 00:03:53,120
system design which could become a

93
00:03:57,030 --> 00:03:55,519
commercial launch vehicle for crew cargo

94
00:03:59,350 --> 00:03:57,040
and satellites

95
00:04:01,350 --> 00:03:59,360
milestones begin in october and are

96
00:04:04,309 --> 00:04:01,360
scheduled to run through march of next

97
00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:04,319
year if you look at our liberty system

98
00:04:08,789 --> 00:04:06,560
nasa developed the first stage the five

99
00:04:10,949 --> 00:04:08,799
segment booster the upper stage was

100
00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:10,959
developed by esa the european space

101
00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:13,439
agency two commercial companies now are

102
00:04:18,310 --> 00:04:15,439
taking that and applying it commercially

103
00:04:20,870 --> 00:04:18,320
so we feel very fortunate to have what

104
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:20,880
we believe is a very rigorous design

105
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:22,320
unlike any other out there that was

106
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:28,390
nasa's kepler space telescope

107
00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:30,800
has discovered its first circumbinary

108
00:04:36,629 --> 00:04:34,320
planet a planet that orbits two suns

109
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:36,639
the coal saturn-sized planet is not in

110
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:38,960
the star systems habitable zone but

111
00:04:43,670 --> 00:04:40,960
someone near the planet's surface could

112
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:43,680
see double sunrises and sunsets similar

113
00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:46,880
to what luke skywalker saw in the 1977

114
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:49,360
movie star wars

115
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:51,040
there's a great moment in new hope where

116
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:52,160
luke is

117
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:55,680
watching a twin sunset on tatooine

118
00:04:59,909 --> 00:04:57,840
and it's a it's a great way to show that

119
00:05:03,110 --> 00:04:59,919
we're not on earth that it's this exotic

120
00:05:05,670 --> 00:05:03,120
environment um but that was never really

121
00:05:07,909 --> 00:05:05,680
thought to be possible and it's

122
00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:07,919
exciting to see that science is uh

123
00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:11,520
caught up with with the fantasy that

124
00:05:16,390 --> 00:05:14,160
it's real it's possible the kepler 16

125
00:05:19,270 --> 00:05:16,400
star system is located in the cygnus

126
00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:19,280
constellation about 200 light years from

127
00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:20,960
earth well this is a very exciting

128
00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:22,720
discovery for me

129
00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:24,320
in part because i've been looking for

130
00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:26,240
circumbinary planets for over two

131
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:27,360
decades

132
00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:29,440
but it doesn't feel like an ending it

133
00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:31,600
feels like a beginning because what it

134
00:05:35,189 --> 00:05:33,440
has done is opened up a whole new type

135
00:05:37,590 --> 00:05:35,199
of planetary system that can form in the

136
00:05:41,990 --> 00:05:37,600
galaxy there must be millions of these

137
00:05:46,790 --> 00:05:44,070
the nasa team that helped with last

138
00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:46,800
year's rescue of 33 chilean miners

139
00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:48,800
trapped underground for more than nine

140
00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:51,440
weeks has received the national security

141
00:05:55,670 --> 00:05:53,759

identify and support innovations and

153
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:21,199
solutions to urgent challenges facing

154
00:06:28,870 --> 00:06:26,230
nasa participated in a macarthur

the digital media and learning

159
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:37,919
competition highlighted how the concept

160
00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:40,160
of digital badges is becoming an

161
00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:43,120
exciting new learning tool for students

162
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:45,520
similar to scouting badges only more

163
00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:48,000
rigorous a digital badge can be earned

164
00:06:51,670 --> 00:06:50,160
for mastering a skill in formal and

165
00:06:54,070 --> 00:06:51,680
informal settings

166
00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:54,080
virtually and in physical spaces in

167
00:06:58,230 --> 00:06:56,160
schools and workplaces

168
00:07:00,950 --> 00:06:58,240
digital badges can also open new

169
00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:00,960
pipelines for talent and create job

170
00:07:05,909 --> 00:07:03,919
educational and civic opportunities

00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:00,240
and using space was a completely new

190
00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:02,800
revolution and today it's one of the

191
00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:05,120
most established scientific field the

192
00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:07,520
mars science laboratory launching later

193
00:08:13,589 --> 00:08:10,000
this year will carry a french laser to

194
00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:13,599
reveal the composition of martian rocks

195
00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:15,520
so one thing we plan to do because now

196
00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:18,000

197
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:19,440
iraq there will be a little sound which

198
00:08:38,389 --> 00:08:26,469
merci beaucoup and viv la meteo franco

199
00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:41,829
a new interactive online program called

200
00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:45,120
rockets to race cars introduces nascar

201
00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:47,760
fans to nasa created products making

202
00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:50,240
auto racing faster and safer

203
00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:52,560
site visitors navigate through the nasa

204
00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:54,720
garage to learn about heat resistant

205
00:08:59,190 --> 00:08:57,360
paint fire resistant materials the

206
00:09:01,829 --> 00:08:59,200
development of better breaks and other

207
00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:01,839
spin-offs from nasa research

208
00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:04,560
in 1996 the agency worked with the

209
00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:07,200
penske racing team to use scrap material

210
00:09:10,949 --> 00:09:08,560
from the space shuttle's thermal

211
00:09:14,389 --> 00:09:10,959
protection system blankets to cool

212
00:09:16,949 --> 00:09:14,399
drivers cockpits by 30 to 50 degrees

213
00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:16,959
since then the tps material has been a

214
00:09:21,030 --> 00:09:19,440
regular cockpit feature of race cars

215
00:09:23,190 --> 00:09:21,040
around the nation

216
00:09:25,630 --> 00:09:23,200
to find out more about rockets to race

217
00:09:29,590 --> 00:09:25,640
cars visit
