00:00:12,390 --> 00:00:10,230
this week at nasa

2
00:00:14,549 --> 00:00:12,400
station houston on space to ground 2

3
00:00:17,109 --> 00:00:14,559
dragon will be departing the 30 meter

4
00:00:19,029 --> 00:00:17,119
hold momentarily a day after grappling

5
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:19,039
the spacex dragon capsule with the

6
00:00:23,189 --> 00:00:20,880
international space station's robotic

7
00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:23,199
arm his sensation looks like we got us a

8
00:00:27,670 --> 00:00:25,680
dragon by the tail and birthing dragon

9
00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:27,680
to the earth-facing port of the harmony

10
00:00:31,990 --> 00:00:30,480
module second stage capture is complete

11
00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:32,000
the first private spacecraft ever

12
00:00:35,990 --> 00:00:33,840
launched and sent to the space station

13
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:36,000
is now a visiting vehicle and it it

14
00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:37,280
wouldn't have been possible without

15
00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:39,600
every single one of you on this team the

16
00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:42,160
expedition 31 crew opened the hatch to

17
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:44,399
the first commercial cargo spacecraft to

18
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:47,440
visit the iss we all remember the

19
00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:49,120
completion of the transcontinental

20
00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:50,879
railroad which opened up the western

21
00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:53,680
front to the united states and it was

22
00:01:00,470 --> 00:00:56,160
celebrated or commemorated by pounding

23
00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:00,480
in a golden spike and this is kind of

24
00:01:04,469 --> 00:01:02,879
the equivalent of the golden spike i

25
00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:04,479
have a lot of confidence in our future

26
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:06,720
this is a great first step to move us

27
00:01:09,670 --> 00:01:08,799
forward now with the commercialization

28
00:01:12,149 --> 00:01:09,680
of this

29
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:12,159
and like don had said earlier i think we

30
00:01:16,789 --> 00:01:14,320
would feel very comfortable in a human

31
00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:16,799
rated vehicle just like this one

32
00:01:21,109 --> 00:01:18,960
following the historic hatch opening

33
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:21,119
station crew members entered dragon to

34
00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:23,360
begin unloading supplies

35
00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:25,360
the spacex demonstration flight to the

36
00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:26,479
iss

37
00:01:31,749 --> 00:01:28,640
is part of nasa's commercial orbital

38
00:01:34,230 --> 00:01:31,759
transportation services or cots program

39
00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:34,240
which provides investments to stimulate

40
00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:36,880
the commercial space industry in america

41
00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:38,880
under the program spacex and other

42
00:01:43,749 --> 00:01:41,119
companies must successfully complete a

43
00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:43,759
test flight to begin delivering regular

44
00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:50,069
video taken from the international space

45
00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:52,640
station documents the may 20th annual

46
00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:55,520
solar eclipse while flying at about 240

47
00:02:00,550 --> 00:01:58,479
statute miles above earth nasa astronaut

48
00:02:03,109 --> 00:02:00,560
don pettit captured the moon's shadow

49
00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:03,119
being cast on the planet below as the

50
00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:04,960
moon lined up between the sun and the

51
00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:07,520
earth this was the first solar eclipse

52
00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:10,959
of 2012 the next one a total eclipse is

53
00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:17,589
another rare celestial event is just on

54
00:02:22,229 --> 00:02:20,080
the horizon a transit of the planet

55
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:22,239
venus across the sun is scheduled for

56
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:23,360
june 5th

57
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:25,760
a transit takes place when a planet

58
00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:27,680
passes directly between the sun and the

59
00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:30,640
earth in doing so venus will block a

60
00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:33,120
portion of the sun much like a solar

61
00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:35,760
eclipse by the moon despite being almost

62
00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:38,879
four times larger venus is much farther

63
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:41,040
away than the moon so the planet will be

64
00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:44,080
seen from earth as a small dark disk

65
00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:46,720
moving slowly across the face of the sun

66
00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:48,959
transits of venus are among the rarest

67
00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:51,440
of predictable astronomical phenomena

68
00:02:56,470 --> 00:02:53,120
occurring in a pattern that repeats

69
00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:56,480
every 243 years with pairs of transits

70
00:03:00,350 --> 00:02:59,280
about 8 years apart separated by long

71
00:03:02,830 --> 00:03:00,360
gaps of

72
00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:02,840
121.5 years and

73
00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:04,959
105.5 years

74
00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:06,800
the most recent transit of venus

75
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:09,040
happened in june 2004

76
00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:12,000
after 2012 the next transits of venus

77
00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:14,480
will be in december 2117

78
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:21,270
a set of guidelines developed by nasa to

79
00:03:25,190 --> 00:03:23,280
protect the apollo and other historic

80
00:03:26,710 --> 00:03:25,200
landing sites on the moon will be

81
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:26,720
followed by contestants in a

82
00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:29,840
google-sponsored competition to space

83
00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:31,920
that agreement in principle comes about

84
00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:34,640
as 26 teams worldwide continue their

85
00:03:39,430 --> 00:03:36,959
plans to build and send robots to the

86
00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:39,440
lunar surface in hopes of claiming a

87
00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:41,200
share of the 30 million dollars in

88
00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:43,760
awards offered by the google lunar x

89
00:03:46,869 --> 00:03:44,720
prize

90
00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:46,879
the first privately funded teams to

91
00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:48,879
safely land a robot on the surface of

92
00:03:54,789 --> 00:03:51,840
the moon have it travel 500 meters over

93
00:03:57,589 --> 00:03:54,799
the lunar surface and send hd video

94
00:04:00,149 --> 00:03:57,599
images and data back to earth will claim

95
00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:00,159
the prizes bonus awards will go to those

96
00:04:05,589 --> 00:04:02,799
imaging the six apollo landing sites and

97
00:04:06,869 --> 00:04:05,599
others including that of nasa's surveyor

98
00:04:09,429 --> 00:04:06,879

99
00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:09,439
all google lunar x prize monies must be

100
00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:17,509
nasa administrator charles bolden was

00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:19,600
the guest speaker at the second goddard

102
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:21,600

103
00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:23,680

106
00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:30,720
members to honor those who made the

107
00:04:36,230 --> 00:04:33,680
ultimate sacrifice for our country at

108
00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:36,240
goddard as you all know we we truly

109
00:04:41,189 --> 00:04:38,800
value our diversity it captures a broad

110
00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:41,199
understanding of all the things that we

111
00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:42,880
are and that we do

112
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:44,720
and it makes goddard a much better place

113
00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:46,880
and i think it makes nasa and the

114
00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:48,960
country a better place people who every

115
00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:50,960
day put on the uniforms of our armed

116
00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:53,360
forces and risk their lives protecting

117
00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:55,520
the freedoms and liberties of this great

118
00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,960
nation of ours

119
00:05:01,270 --> 00:04:58,800
i also know many of us have been

120
00:05:03,749 --> 00:05:01,280
personally touched by the loss of one of

121
00:05:07,189 --> 00:05:03,759
these brave and selfless heroes

122
00:05:09,029 --> 00:05:07,199
so this is also a day where we pause and

123
00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:09,039
honor the memories of members of our own

124
00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:11,440
nasa family who have paid the ultimate

125
00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:13,520

carbon and arctic reservoirs

191
00:08:01,589 --> 00:08:00,080
vulnerability experiment or car

192
00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:01,599
headquartered at the jet propulsion

193
00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:03,840
laboratory carve will collect an

194
00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:05,840
integrated set of data to provide

195
00:08:11,110 --> 00:08:08,400
unprecedented insights into arctic

196
00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:11,120
carbon cycling or the release and

197
00:08:17,189 --> 00:08:13,520
absorption of carbon from arctic

198
00:08:19,909 --> 00:08:17,199
ecosystems the c-23 joined nasa's crude

199
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:19,919
science aircraft fleet in january

200
00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:22,479
expanding the agency's capability to

201
00:08:25,830 --> 00:08:24,400
conduct research worldwide besides

202
00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:25,840
airborne research you can use it for

203
00:08:30,230 --> 00:08:27,759
logistical support for cargo type

204
00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:30,240
missions range surveillance recovery

205
00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:32,000
operations for a balloon program or

206
00:08:34,949 --> 00:08:33,360
sounding rockets

207
00:08:36,469 --> 00:08:34,959
or any other type of mission that

208
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:36,479
somebody may be able to think of it's

209
00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:38,880
pretty versatile aircraft easy to modify

210
00:08:44,149 --> 00:08:41,680
a lot of capability to the plane itself

211
00:08:49,350 --> 00:08:44,159
the c-23 will conduct investigations in

212
00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:51,110
it wasn't something you see every day

213
00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:52,959
what looked like a coast guard jet

214
00:08:57,269 --> 00:08:54,800
arriving at nasa's langley research

215
00:08:59,190 --> 00:08:57,279
center in october 2011

216
00:09:01,190 --> 00:08:59,200
but a closer look showed all official

217
00:09:04,389 --> 00:09:01,200
markings gone

218
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:04,399
that's because the hu-25c guardian which

219
00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:05,920
had been at a coast guard base in cape

220
00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:08,560
cod massachusetts was about to join nasa

221
00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:12,160
langley's fleet in hampton virginia

222
00:09:15,910 --> 00:09:13,920
it took a few months to get the business

223
00:09:18,070 --> 00:09:15,920
jet equivalent ready for its first nasa

224
00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:18,080
airborne mission doing atmospheric

225
00:09:23,590 --> 00:09:20,720
research but changes the coast guard had

226
00:09:25,269 --> 00:09:23,600
made already paid off the aircraft also

227
00:09:27,269 --> 00:09:25,279
has a number of modifications the coast

228
00:09:29,430 --> 00:09:27,279
guard made to the aircraft which we can

229
00:09:31,829 --> 00:09:29,440
adapt for atmospheric science and for

230
00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:31,839
aerospace aeronautical research they

231
00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:34,320
include a removable hatch in the bottom

232
00:09:38,949 --> 00:09:36,640
and oversized windows that can be used

233
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:38,959
for optical imaging systems

234
00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:41,200
it all adds up to a more versatile plane

235
00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:44,000
for scientific research so this is a big

236
00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:46,800
step forward in capability and power

237
00:09:50,870 --> 00:09:48,880
range altitude speed

238
00:09:53,110 --> 00:09:50,880
and weight that we can carry that we

239
00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:53,120
could not carry before the guardian's

240
00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:54,880
first nasa mission is scheduled for

241
00:09:58,389 --> 00:09:55,920
greenland

242
00:10:02,069 --> 00:09:58,399
but the crew hopes warmer climates are

243
00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:04,069
the annual marshall space flight center

244
00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:06,320
director's breakfast was held at the u.s

245
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:08,399
space and rocket center the theme of

246
00:10:11,910 --> 00:10:10,720
this year's event people progress

247
00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:11,920
partnership

248
00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:13,680
focused on marshall's accomplishments

249
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:15,760
over the past year and the center

250
00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:18,160
support of nasa's mission and long-range

251
00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:19,360
strategy

252
00:10:23,509 --> 00:10:21,760
acting center director gene goldman

253
00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:23,519
discussed marshall's activities with

254
00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:25,920
community leaders elected officials and

255
00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:28,160
industry partners in attendance

256
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:30,160
goldman also handed out marshall center

257
00:10:34,870 --> 00:10:32,640
contractor excellence awards given

258
00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:34,880
annually to prime contractors

259
00:10:39,509 --> 00:10:37,680
subcontractors and suppliers who've made

260
00:10:41,430 --> 00:10:39,519
significant contributions to marshall

261
00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:41,440
managed nasa projects

262
00:10:45,990 --> 00:10:43,440
including development of the agency's

263
00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:46,000
new space launch system and its support

264
00:11:03,190 --> 00:10:47,760
of the commercial space transportation

265
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:05,750
my name is fran lawiskrodek

266
00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:08,000
i've been with nasa for this will be my

267
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:10,560
29th year at nasa

268
00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:12,640
i'm a computer engineer in the i.t

269
00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:15,200
security office here on the lab i work

270
00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:17,519
with a group of people where we protect

271
00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:20,079
the lab labs data that flows through the

272
00:11:23,590 --> 00:11:21,680
computer networks

273
00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:23,600
one of my main responsibilities is the

274
00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:26,880
firewall team lead the firewall protects

275
00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:29,040
the data that comes in and out of the

276
00:11:32,870 --> 00:11:29,920
lab

277
00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:32,880
from the public internet and what i do

278
00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:35,519
with my part is to make sure that the

279
00:11:39,110 --> 00:11:37,279
adequate protections the sufficient

280
00:11:41,590 --> 00:11:39,120
protections are put in place within the

281
00:11:42,790 --> 00:11:41,600
firewall what i like most about working

282
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:42,800
at nasa

283
00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:44,880
is the people that i've met and worked

284
00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:47,440
with along my way we have such a great

285
00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:49,680
diversity of people people from all

286
00:11:53,910 --> 00:11:51,680
backgrounds different races different

287
00:11:55,509 --> 00:11:53,920
cultures different beliefs and we're all

288
00:11:56,389 --> 00:11:55,519
working together to achieve the same

289
00:11:58,550 --> 00:11:56,399
goal

290
00:12:02,230 --> 00:11:58,560
i graduated from cleveland state

291
00:12:04,949 --> 00:12:02,240
university my major originally was it

292
00:12:07,910 --> 00:12:04,959
was accounting but i found computer

293
00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:07,920
science to come fairly easily i can say

294
00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:09,680
that my parents inspired me the most

295
00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:11,440
when i was growing up

296
00:12:17,190 --> 00:12:15,600
they came here and they had no family so

297
00:12:19,509 --> 00:12:17,200
knowing all those things that they've

298
00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:19,519
had to deal with the differences in the

299
00:12:23,110 --> 00:12:20,720
cultures

300
00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:23,120
that they were able to succeed

301
00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:25,040
is what's inspiring to me that i know

302
00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:27,040
that i can succeed if i want to try

303
00:12:30,949 --> 00:12:29,279
something different

304
00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:30,959
what i would say to young people in

305
00:12:35,350 --> 00:12:33,120
preparing for a career of their choice

306
00:12:36,550 --> 00:12:35,360
is to find the job that they would do

307
00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:36,560
for free

308
00:12:40,550 --> 00:12:38,639
this would be the job that they would

309
00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:40,560
have the passion and it would make them

310
00:12:44,790 --> 00:12:42,240
happy in doing it

311
00:12:46,949 --> 00:12:44,800
and even better yet is that they could

312
00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:46,959
eventually and will be getting paid for

313
00:12:52,389 --> 00:12:51,430
i believe that this nation should commit

314
00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:52,399
itself

315
00:12:56,389 --> 00:12:54,320
to achieving the goal

316
00:12:58,150 --> 00:12:56,399
before this decade is out

317
00:13:00,710 --> 00:12:58,160
of landing a man on the moon and

318
00:13:04,230 --> 00:13:00,720
returning him safely to the earth 51

319
00:13:05,990 --> 00:13:04,240
years ago on may 25th 1961 president

320
00:13:08,310 --> 00:13:06,000
john f kennedy in a speech before a

321
00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:08,320
special joint session of congress

322
00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:10,160
challenged the nation to set its sights

323
00:13:15,269 --> 00:13:12,560
on sending an american to the moon

324
00:13:16,949 --> 00:13:15,279
so directed nasa ramped up its human

325
00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:16,959
space flight effort starting with

326
00:13:24,310 --> 00:13:19,279
project mercury and continuing on

327
00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:27,350

michael collins

329
00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:36,560
neil armstrong and buzz aldrin made

330
00:13:42,230 --> 00:13:38,880
their safe return home after landing on

331
00:13:47,910 --> 00:13:45,670
thirteen years ago on may 29 1999

332
00:13:49,430 --> 00:13:47,920
discovery made the first space shuttle

333
00:13:50,829 --> 00:13:49,440
docking to the international space

334
00:13:53,990 --> 00:13:50,839
station

335
00:13:56,629 --> 00:13:54,000
sts-96 the second flight to the complex

336
00:13:58,870 --> 00:13:56,639
was commanded by kent rominger and was

337
00:14:01,030 --> 00:13:58,880
piloted by rick husband mission

338
00:14:02,629 --> 00:14:01,040
specialists were elon ochoa

339
00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:02,639
tamara jernigan

340
00:14:06,949 --> 00:14:05,760

tocare

342
00:14:12,069 --> 00:14:09,160
also on board

343
00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:12,079
3567 pounds of material that included

344
00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:15,199
clothing sleeping bags spare parts

345
00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:18,240
medical equipment supplies hardware and

346
00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:21,440
about 84 gallons of water

347
00:14:26,629 --> 00:14:24,399
