most of what we call the angular momentum of the earth moon system is in the moon. the thact we have such a large moon for a planet our size, it's the largest ratio in the solar system, -- . >> do you think the moon -- go ahead. >> this is what kept the earth going around with the same kind of rotation that it has and that is what stabilizes our seasons. >> do you think the moon does more than any other force to keep us habitable in a sense because of the rotation? 23.5 rotations? at that tilt? >> the tilt of the earth's axis. that is preserved partly because of the moon. for example, mars doesn't have a large moon. it's too small moons. and the axis of mars rotation actuallyosalates silently and if mars had a large moon like earth that wouldn't happen. so this is played a tremendous role. also the tides have been very useful for a lot of living organisms. >> so we have the galaxy and the galaxy is composed of what? what is the cosmic pyramid? if you have a pyramid like a food pyramid that is put out by the department of agriculture, how much of what do you have whe

the sun and the moon, sometime at sunrise and sunset and when the moon is getting up and getting going, that is an illusion. you are not -- it is not actually bigger. it just looks big are to your eye and it is fascinating. people have done a lot of research about this. one of the leading ideas on why it appears bigger is something called the ebenhaus solution. have you to look carefully. notice both of the orange circles. those are the same size. when the moon or sun is in the center of the sky, what we call the zenith, the image on the left is what you're seeing. so the sun or moon does not look big. on the right-hand side, you can see that the sun and/or moon will hook bigger to you because you have something to compare it to, trees, building, a horizon. >> what a great illustration, tucker. >> isn't that cool? >> it is. >> i'm thinking at sunset, you are having a glass of wipe, thing -- a glass of wine, things just don't look right. >> there is one exception to this, particularly as it applies to the moon because there are times when you look at the moon and you go oh, my goodness,

america won the race to the moon, but that was 40 years ago. the u.s. is essentially sitting on the bench in the current space race. will that hurt it back here on earth? >>> and is america coming apart? that's what the author of a controversial new book says. i'll ask him about it. >>> but first, here's my take. something caught my eye the other day. pat robertson, the high priest of the religious right, had some startling things to say about drugs. "i really believe we should treat marijuana the way we treat beverage alcohol," mr. robertson said recently. "i have never used marijuana, and i don't intend to," he said, "but it's just one of those things that, well, i think this war on drugs just hasn't succeeded." the reason robertson is for legalizing marijuana is that it has created a prison problem in america that is well beyond what most americans imagine. he's right. here are the numbers. the total number of americans under correctional supervision, prison, parole, et cetera, is 7.1 million, more than the entire state of massachusetts. no other cou

going to the moon. if we send all the walmart's to space. i think you are. right i think i do want to play a little game of compare and contrast because i mean you're very optimistic you don't see the space station ending any time soon but the funding for it and i have seen several tear jerking stories for example about the end of the shuttle program how empty and desolate kennedy space center is these days there is a shift in opinion about the need to shift resources to earth as opposed to sort of the you know back during the space race things have changed so what we're going to say ok so i just wanted to compare and contrast when we talk about what is deemed important in a society today we see a whole lot of money for example i'll say at the pentagon has put almost a trillion dollars towards the f. thirty five the joint. the joint strike fighter that's expected to cost a trillion dollars much more than they anticipated but. why that and not more resources devoted to the not just because. i believe more resources believe nasa has a high enough budget i thin

they were not going to go to the moon. the dreamers back then were thinking that we went to the moon because we were explorers and if that were the case, of course, we would have continued on to mars. but we didn't. it was obvious in retrospect why we didn't. i would argue that today if we think of china as competition, economic competition, which they surely are, then to pull back on our space ambitions is a direct sort of lever arm on our capacity to compete economically. >> but if -- so one of the things you talk about in that article is that this is part of a general decline in science and engineering and decline of the kind of sexiness of science, but also the amount of time, energy we're putting into it. my question to you is why should we use this indirect path to science? if we want to fund science, why not fund science? >> that's a common question that always gets asked. what happens is when you approach the world that way, you find a problem, and you say, well, let's put some money to do more what the solution is

obviously i am on the moon, where newt gingrich is the president of the moon. how can anyone be president of the moon, you ask from the past where you live? back when he was just candidate gingrich, president new to, that is what we call him. he not only promised a permanent colony by the end of his second term, but he determined that colony would be an american colony. he said it once he figured out a way to get a few thousand americans up on the moon in the permanent colony, the moon could then become the 51st date. >> don't miss the days when he was a front runner for the republican nomination? that happened in our lifetimes, american. the you think he will inspire and lead to wear 8 space suit on a new show? >> newt gingrich's rippetoe is dancing queen. i do think that nobody will take a chance on newt gingrich, but i could be wrong. >> can you hear what he is playing? ♪ >> this rippetoe is newt gingrich's rippetoe. it's dancing queen by abbott. >> suspend all you want. i pay for the dancing queen rain tone. i have to say that years from now when i find m
