in everything that's going on at wallops

106
00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:24,320
i think it was a good a good opportunity

107
00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:26,800
for him to come in and kind of tour the

108
00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:28,720
facilities we have here and just just

109
00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:30,160
see what all

110
00:04:37,590 --> 00:04:36,310
just wonder where what it means and

111
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:37,600
where it is and

112
00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:39,520
it's really interesting what's getting

113
00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:41,520
the attention of passers-by in

114
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:44,320
baltimore's inner harbor is a unique art

115
00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:46,960
exhibit that's literally lighting up

116
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:48,960
this tourist destination it's like a

117
00:04:53,189 --> 00:04:51,440
laser show yeah i really didn't know

118
00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:53,199
i had no idea what somebody was

119
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:55,520
fascinating or scientific at all

120
00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:57,840
but it is science the green line

121
00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:59,440
represents the different kinds of

122
00:05:04,150 --> 00:05:01,440
information nasa's hubble space

123
00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:04,160
telescope gets when it looks out into

124
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:05,520
the cosmos

125
00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:08,160
the real true physics that allow

126
00:05:12,469 --> 00:05:10,080
astronomers to understand what the

127
00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:12,479
object is all about we learn about the

128
00:05:17,909 --> 00:05:15,360
temperature the physical conditions we

129
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:17,919
learn about their distance after decades

130
00:05:22,629 --> 00:05:19,680
of seeing the beautiful pictures from

131
00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:22,639
hubble artist tim roth wanted to shine a

132
00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:26,240
new light on the 21 year old newsmaker

133
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:29,520
this is the job of art is really not to

134
00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:32,400
explain immediately is more really to

135
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:35,680
to puzzle people so so the people are

136
00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:38,880
standing there and saying oh what's that

137
00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:41,520
so the people get interested

138
00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:43,919
while roth knows many who walk by think

139
00:05:48,950 --> 00:05:46,000
the display on the wall of the maryland

140
00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:48,960
science center looks like a heartbeat he

141
00:05:55,430 --> 00:05:51,440
says it is in a way but it's the

142
00:06:00,790 --> 00:05:57,749
i just want to say that we are we're all

143
00:06:01,749 --> 00:06:00,800
big space nuts we're all uh want the

144
00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:01,759
space

145
00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:04,560
program to continue and

146
00:06:08,390 --> 00:06:06,479
we have to keep exploring

147
00:06:09,990 --> 00:06:08,400

154
00:06:24,870 --> 00:06:22,720
the guys here don't believe you're

155
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:24,880
actually in space so can you prove it to

156
00:06:32,629 --> 00:06:30,629
we believe you

157
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:32,639

former employees and contractors join

191
00:07:50,150 --> 00:07:48,240
current employees in sharing experiences

192
00:07:52,309 --> 00:07:50,160
and contributions that have played a

193
00:07:54,790 --> 00:07:52,319
vital role in the center's development

194
00:07:57,589 --> 00:07:54,800
this this whole workforce doesn't matter

195
00:08:00,309 --> 00:07:57,599
what badge you were who you were

196
00:08:02,309 --> 00:08:00,319
was a can-do outfit

197
00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:02,319
there was nothing that you couldn't take

198
00:08:09,909 --> 00:08:04,560
on and wouldn't take home

199
00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:10,950
three

200
00:08:17,589 --> 00:08:15,199
two one we have ignition and liftoff of

201
00:08:19,510 --> 00:08:17,599
a delta ii rocket carrying nasa on an

202
00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:19,520
odyssey back to mars

203
00:08:26,629 --> 00:08:23,520
ten years ago on march 24 2001 the

204
00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:26,639
odyssey spacecraft reached mars to study

205
00:08:31,110 --> 00:08:28,639
and map the elemental composition of the

206
00:08:33,509 --> 00:08:31,120
martian surface and evaluate the red

207
00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:33,519
planet's radiation environment

208
00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:35,200
odyssey also has served as a

209
00:08:39,909 --> 00:08:37,440
communication relay for most of the data

210
00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:39,919
sent home by the phoenix lander and the

211
00:08:44,630 --> 00:08:42,880
mars rovers spirit and opportunity

212
00:08:46,550 --> 00:08:44,640
it also became the middle link for

213
00:08:49,750 --> 00:08:46,560
continuous observation of martian

214
00:08:52,470 --> 00:08:49,760
weather by nasa's mars global surveyor

215
00:08:55,829 --> 00:08:52,480
and the mars reconnaissance orbiter in

216
00:08:59,990 --> 00:08:55,839
2010 odyssey became the longest serving

217
00:09:06,630 --> 00:09:04,389
and five years later on october 26 2006

218
00:09:09,110 --> 00:09:06,640
nasa released the solar terrestrial

219
00:09:11,829 --> 00:09:09,120
relations observatory into the heavens

220
00:09:14,389 --> 00:09:11,839
to stereographically image the sun and

221
00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:14,399
its emissions the two identical

222
00:09:20,389 --> 00:09:17,279
space-based observatories stereo a and

223
00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:20,399
stereo b orbit the sun one ahead of the

224
00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:22,959
earth the other trailing this dual

225
00:09:27,350 --> 00:09:25,200
perspective allows scientists to better

226
00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:27,360
see the structure and evolution of solar

227
00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:30,560
storms as they move from the sun into

228
00:09:34,630 --> 00:09:32,080
space

229
00:09:36,870 --> 00:09:34,640
and that's this week at nasa for more on
