the nasa climate assessment that includes nasa and includes the department of energy and includes noah has clearly stated that it is extremely likely, as the language they use, extremely likely that human activity is the dominant cause of global warming, and i have no reason to doubt the science the comes from that. sen. schatz: do you agree with the scientific consensus that includes many nasa researchers that the climate is changing as humans are the leading cause? mr. bridenstine: yes. sen. schatz: is a fair to call this an evolution of your views? mr. bridenstine: yes. sen. schatz: do you commit to supporting the funding independence and integrity of climate science at nasa? mr. bridenstine: without question. thank you,: administrator. we have had multiple conversations both over the table and in person and on the phone, and i want to recognize your evolution on this issue. i think it is essential for one of the premier science agencies of the federal government for you to abide by the science. it's especially important because, as you know, you're the first nasa administrator that

so, we do utilize nasa's facility to do governmental things that are broader than what nasa it self does. we want to continue doing that. we believe that we are a national asset that can be utilized by a whole host of government and nongovernment sanctions. we want to make sure when we do that we are not impacting nasa's missions. that is an important thing that i want to make sure we don't impact nasa's missions. certainly, we see ourselves as a partner to the government or large. >> thank you. west virginia university with select it to test the research in simulated microgravity at the johnson space center. mobile to conduct experiments in the pole for the astronauts train for their spacewalks. this is a unique and tremendous opportunity for students as you can imagine. they call for the elimination of nasa's office of education. rename it to be the office of inspiration because you are inspiring through the educational opportunities the next generation of science, technology and interest in space, lighting a fire amongst a lot of young people. will you work with me to continue to emph

and nasa cannot do so. we talked about the budget request and it eliminates a significant portion of the stem education will is something i indicated to you and i find objectionable. he explained how this can be addressed in other ways. i would ask you what is efficient in view of how nasa can help educate and inspire another generation interested in science. in doing so help our nation economically and make certain that we are at the forefront of all scientific educational advancement globally. massa has that mission. >> i cannot agree with your assessment on education. i'll say this about wildlife, i was a young boy in sixth grade and had the opportunity to go to a summer camp or i interacted with the wind tunnel for the first time. i learned about the theory of flight and how it works. and changing the shape of a weighing and earning about lift and drag. as the summer before my sixth grade year. it impacted my life in an amazing way. i knew when i grow up i was going to be a pilot. i've had that personal

does nasa ordinate with the u.s. air force? oure coordinate with partners in the air force a lot. we have a terrific partnership on both ranges. here we are at the 30th space wing. incredible hosts. the air force base is a wonderful place. when working a mission at probably meet at least weekly. you will hear from the wing commander in just a little bit. his team is amazing. the level of support they provide for both the air force missions, obviously, but for other missions like the science missions and for commercial missions as well. there is a tremendous amount of coordination at my level, at the nasa headquarters level to the air force and pentagon level -- so, it is a great partnership. >> wonderful. --ouple folks were asking what factors are determining the launch going from california instead of florida? and why aren't launches from the west coast to the planets as common as launches from the east coast? >> when nasa puts out a request for a proposal, we make an effort to match the vehicle to the performance r

for nasa's legendary flight director it was simple. cook more courage to make the decision to do apollo 8 than anything we ever did in the pace program. none of these men remembered having dry eyes as borman, love veil anders spoke to the world on crimes christmas each all of them, more than any that lynn listen to a human voice at once remember what they said maybe even more important, to beat america's cold war enemy, the soviet union in race to send the first men to the moon. by the summer of 1968 things looked bleak on both frond, development of the lunar lander that would move astronauts from to orbiting ship to the lunar surface and back threatened to stall the apollo probable and put the kennedy deadline out of reach. a top secret memo was issued by american intelligence officials warning that the soviets might send mend around the moon as early as 1968. nasa had no plans to send the men to the moon was 1968 and expended to try try in 1970. but the that time a cosmonaut might already have reached the moon and that be more than j

no plan and nasa are in the grown-up scientific community. to ever go back to the outer solar system again. there are graduate students that turned nasa around and they depth themselves the mars underground. we just patterned our self calling our self the pluto underground. they asked about the postage stamp. witness across the finish line with voyager it up to the u.s. postal service issued nine stamps. one for each planet and the first spacecraft to go there. , the mariner ten to mercury and so forth. since no spacecraft have been to pluto there's a little stamp for pluto that lindley said, not yet explored. we adopted that as a rallying cry for getting this underway. in the end we had a space ship built and ready to launch it we put one of those stamps on new horizons and fluid to pluto, kind of an in-your-face gesture. >> but not yet explored stamp, they all had a great spacecraft picture of the real planet but this one had an artist deception of the pluto but now it has a picture like on the cover of the book. >> you have to wonder wheth

top brass at nasa considered hat. brian: page 200 you say, from below he could see a greenish brown blob about the size of a golf ball moving toward him. explain what they had to contend with when frank borman threw up. robert: well, here it came down below and it was floating toward the other two astronauts. anders sees it but lovell is in the impact area. anders describes how lovell's eyes narrow as it approached him. it hits him in the chest and flattened like an omelette. that's how anders described it to me. but also he said, when these globules split, you could see newton's laws apply. one would go one way perfectly, the other would go the other way. the mixture of horror, but also fascination at the beauty of celestial mechanics on display. brian: frank borman also had diarrhea. robert: yes. he had diarrhea. this was -- nobody understood what was happening. again, he said he had never been sick before ever. you have to remember, the hong kong flu had killed thousands and thousands of people that year. nobody kn

i was elected to go to nasa headquarters and speak to the head of the planetary expedition. we watched the space shuttle launch on the office television. i said i came because there's a group. >> how old were you? >> 31. >> and i said i think we have to study how to go about it. a lot of people are getting behind it. it will be publicly popular. jeff said no one has ever asked me that. and almost immediately get something started. >> there was just 29 years ago. >> and after that it was like this will be easy. >> what was the scope of the? the first yes to actually getting clearance to launch. how long did that take? >> that was a 17 year undertaking. many defeats and setbacks. some things came out of left field nasa was just about to start a pluto mission we needed that money for the spacecraft. we're trying to convince everybody this was important to do. then they decided to have a competition in this well integrated pluto underground became this group because people joined other teams. we were under the gun to build this very quickly. to build it in record time we only ha

nasa's they took it to boss james webb. webb's first reaction when he plan "are you out of your mind"? and he went through the risks and he said if anything happens, is at risk.ogram and may not go forward. then reminded him of one other risk. nobody had thought of it. might have been the gravest risk all. if the astronauts died at the oon, no one, he said, no one would look at the moon the same way again. and the same was really true of christmas. they were scheduled to orbit the moon on christmas eve and christmas day. if they died then, who in the would think of christmas the same again? four months, why were they hurry? a >> the reason it changed so suddenly is the landing craft that would shuttle astronauts spacecraft to ng the lunar surface and back was stalled. there was problems in production to design that threatened stall the entire apollo program. george lowe thought if we send the craft at a moon without a lunar landing, we can do three things at once. apollo program going and learn all the techniques of going t

nasa has launched its latest mission to mars. a rocket, carrying the insight probe — blasted off from an air force base in california a short while ago. it's due to touch down on the red planet in november — and is designed to detect tremors — or marsquakes. our science correspondent victoria gill reports. three, two... zero. right on time, shrouded in fog, at 4:05am local time the atlas 5 rocket, carrying nasa's mars insight lander, launched from vandenberg air base on the californian coast. current velocity, 4542 mph. this, the us space agency says, is notjust another mission to the red planet, but a journey back in time. probing beneath the surface of mars, nasa's insight will aim to take the pulse of this planet, to work out how it formed more than 4.5 billion years ago. continues to look excellent at this point. once it's unfolded its vital solar panels, the robotic lander will carefully put down its own scientific instruments which will map the deep structure of the planet. these will take the temperature of mars and

they've been using images captured by nasa's new horizons spacecraft. here's our science editor david shukman. until recently the distant world of pluto was a total mystery but a nasa spacecraft captured these stunning pictures three years ago. and since then scientists have been trying to make sense of sights they'd never expected. everyone thought that somewhere so cold would be frozen solid, but amazingly there are signs of movement at the surface. and the latest discovery is about the texture of the landscape. these are fields of dunes that look surprisingly like the ones we have on earth. this is important from a scientific perspective because it gives us new insights about pluto but it's also really exciting just to be able to look at this world and recognise that it's notjust a frozen icy blob in the outer reaches of the solar system. but really we are seeing a dynamic world still changing, still forming today. so a major surprise is that pluto was much more active than previously thought. its atmosphere is so incredibly thin compared to earth an
