stars named ngc 6624

102
00:04:37,590 --> 00:04:34,639
millisecond pulsars are highly

103
00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:37,600
magnetized neutron stars that rotate

104
00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:41,360

00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:44,240
in our standard of living over time but

132
00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:45,280

hill visited the mission control center

190
00:07:58,710 --> 00:07:56,479
where he spoke with fossum and flight

191
00:08:00,869 --> 00:07:58,720
engineers sergey volkov and satoshi

192
00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:00,879
furukawa aboard the international space

193
00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:02,080
station

194
00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:04,560
astronauts katie coleman dottie metcalf

195
00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:06,960
lindenberger and steve robinson who

196
00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:08,800
moonlight as amateur musicians for the

197
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:10,240
band max q

198
00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:12,400
showed hill where astronauts train and

199
00:08:20,869 --> 00:08:14,400
engineers are developing the next

200
00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:22,869
in the early days of soaring gliders

201
00:08:26,869 --> 00:08:25,199
used to look like this a reproduction of

202
00:08:28,869 --> 00:08:26,879
a right glider once tested in the

203
00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:28,879
full-scale tunnel at nasa's langley

204
00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:30,319
research center

205
00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:32,159
then along came a langley researcher in

206
00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:34,240
the 1940s and 50s

207
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:37,760
francis rogallo and the regalo wing the

208
00:08:41,829 --> 00:08:39,279
so-called father of hang gliding's

209
00:08:44,070 --> 00:08:41,839
design can be seen in the skies today

210
00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:44,080
piloted by soaring enthusiasts and

211
00:08:49,030 --> 00:08:47,120
wowing spectators

212
00:08:50,949 --> 00:08:49,040
many of the faithful commemorated a

213
00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:50,959
century of soaring on north carolina's

214
00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:53,680
outer banks where on october 24th in

215
00:08:59,990 --> 00:08:56,880
1911 orville wright made an historic 9

216
00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:00,000
minute and 45 second glider flight

217
00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:02,720
the goal of soaring 100 was to celebrate

218
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:05,680
that birth of modern soaring

219
00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:07,600
at the wright brothers memorial nasa

220
00:09:12,070 --> 00:09:09,360
langley technicians demonstrated how the

221
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:12,080
science of flight has changed one of the

222
00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:14,480
things on the on the harrier is that the

223
00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:16,560
vectored engines they would turn them

224
00:09:21,030 --> 00:09:18,560
the same thing as the osprey is they

225
00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:21,040
would turn the engines and vector the

226
00:09:24,949 --> 00:09:22,880
thrusting to give it this takeoff and

227
00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:24,959
landing and it's doing the same thing

228
00:09:29,829 --> 00:09:27,600
with this you know it turns yeah and

229
00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:29,839
various thrusts as it does on the osprey

230
00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:31,040
also

231
00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:33,279
nearby at jockeys ridge state park an

232
00:09:37,269 --> 00:09:35,680
exhibit from nasa's johnson space center

233
00:09:39,670 --> 00:09:37,279
helped visitors soar far above the

234
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:39,680
clouds and into space

235
00:09:43,430 --> 00:09:42,240
they even had a chance to feel a piece

236
00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:43,440
of the moon

237
00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:44,880
you know you touch the earth rocks all

238
00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:46,080
the time and you don't think much about

239
00:09:49,269 --> 00:09:47,440
it when you touch something that comes

240
00:09:50,949 --> 00:09:49,279
from outer space that's pretty neat

241
00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:50,959
another soaring 100 attraction the

242
00:09:54,790 --> 00:09:53,040
participants found pretty neat

243
00:09:58,949 --> 00:09:54,800
a man dressed up as one of the tuscan

244
00:10:03,350 --> 00:10:01,269
and that's this week at nasa
