the hubble has a lot of life left in it. there is so much information that is gathered, there will be discoveries made from the data that has been collected for decades going into the future. it really has been an incredible instrument and well worth the money. >> if you are watching this from kansas, nevada, why should you care that a new moon has been found orbiting neptune? >> well, one of the things the discovery does for us as it continues to confirm the fact that we don't know everything about not only our solar system at the rest of the galaxy in the universe. there is a lot more for us to learn. the technology that goes into this eventually does benefit us. we might want to do this immediately but it takes a while for them to trickle down to us. we now use them in our everyday lives. the knowledge that we gain, plus the technology that helps us do this. >> if you could ask hubble to find one thing, one mystery you're still looking for the answers to out there in the universe,, what would it be? >> i had a great pair

and that's prelaunch on hubble. this -- tice that on you didn't see us prelaunch on on my t flight, but back first flight, all we wore was a a helmetlight suit and and post-"challenger" we went to wearing the launch and entry suit feeling it would allow the crew sometime. suit becomes a cocoon if you lose pressure in the cabin. it's like a small space suit. that's what we did. >> so after "challenger" and we lost almost all of the astronauts, what did that do? >> for me? nation?the >> just for you. was devastating in and of itself. i had been on the vehicle. >> was that '87? 2003. i had just -- >> "challenger" was '87. "challenger" was '86. had trained with christa mcauliffe and greg jarvis. we made a switch in crews a few out.s the first crew was the teacher in space flight. then we switched to take a turned f congress that out to be then congressman bill and rob sinker from rca because we flew a classified of infrared imagining camera that bob was the expert on. "challenger" ten we had come back and the most spect

. >>> you may wonder just what the hubble telescope is up to out there in space. well, get this. it actually revealed the existence of a distant, deep blue planet, 63 light years from earth. this is an illustration what blue planet may look like. hubble actually found it back in 2005, but the telescope observations just now helped nailed down its color. though it may be a pretty color, you wouldn't want to live there. that's because daytime temperatures run about 2,000 degrees fahrenheit. that's hotter than arizona. >> i'll stick around in new york where it's about 70. >> yeah. we'll take that. >>> thankfully it's a lot cooler here on earth. today, you can expect heavy rain, though, in the southeast. storms in the great lakes, west into the dakotas. and more monsoon-style rains over the rockies. but sunny and dry in the midsection and west. >> and across the south, more stifling hot temps into triple digits. 70s along the west and east coast. mostly typical 80s and 90s everywhere else. >>> still ahead, your money. why it's likely to be another good day for your 401(k). >> that so

you are one of the great minds of the physics working on the hubble telescope program the james webb program, what is your feeling about the state of science today? >> as you point out correctly, we have many challenges but scientists have progressed a lot. funding has become a serious problem in the fact there are certain problems in science that now require a lot of funding in geneva that cost many millions of dollars to be supported only like a whole of europe not even an individual country to support something like that. so there is no question that is a problem it is very ambitious but also very costly as a result of this is a certain fear because a person who makes the mistake could see their funding cut rabies denied tenure so one of the things i wanted to encourage our writing the book is to encourage a little bit of thinking in terms of risk taking again i want to make it very clear i am not advocating the sometimes we like to say you have to think outside the box. when you think outside the box you might make a mistake because then you think unconventionally i would like al

realized that the universe was a really big place you know in the ninety's the deep space project by hubble was doing these eleven day photographs they would focus this telescope on a little tiny black piece of space like holding a grain of sand arm's length away for eleven days and they would get a one inch by one and slide with ten thousand galaxies in it each galaxy can have one to two hundred billion solar systems that's why we're finding so many planets right now and what i find interesting is like is seems like you're angry and it seems like most people believe in you have those take the other extreme and they get angry they were real no they're not but my my whole thing is is what we do know is that the universe is so massive and potentially infinite and we do know that there's hundreds and hundreds of billions of planets and stars just in our galaxy alone who we don't know there's life but won't work here so why would we be the only ones who led the separate question have to come about if they allow us to classify her and promote our artistic but i question have you ever like anyone

you have worked on the telescope program for hubble, you have worked on other things. what is your feeling on the state of science today? >> as you point out correctly, there are many challenges. science has progressed a lot. funding has become a serious problem with the fact that there are certain problems. for instance, things can cost many billions of dollars that can only be supported by something like the whole of europe and you cannot even have an individual support something like that. so there is no question that that has become a problem. it is very ambitious, but also a very costly program that may cost a lot of money and so on. so as a result of this, there is a certain fear for making a mistake. because some people make a mistake and they may see their funding cut for things like that and so forth and so on. one of the things that i wanted to encourage by writing this book is to encourage the thinking in terms of certain ideas. again, sometimes we like to think outside of the box. but when you think outside of the box, you might make a mistake. because it c

that page and of that mind, what is interesting to me, and we could hear it especially over these --t hubble of weeks, is that last couple of weeks, is that there is a lot of clarity within the scientific community, but they have to be the ones that's not the direction and write that road that. he should be the ones to say that we believe in the great vision and now let's haven't fulfilled. front.e you.ank [indiscernible] the secretary of state mr. kerry [indiscernible] many subjects, especially on defense, space, and explorations. there is a lot of opportunities in space technology. can you through some light on that, because there will be a lot of jobs in america. >> what i would say to that is was part ofl when i the industry, and the international community was really in its infancy. that is really not true today. and so i think we are going to have an awful lot of strategic ardor's if we have a unified vision. will allow american corporations but to create jobs in the united states, but also across the globe. whether that is with india -- and that is a partnership that will facilitate t
