a nasa historian emeritus. and then our second speaker today will be erik conway, as you know, formerly the historian at langley, and he will be talking about that nexus actually, the connection between viking, jpl, and langley and how all of that played out and how it went from pasadena to hampton, and then finally, we will close out the presentations today talking about the science experiments on viking. as you know, glenn is a historian out at ames. all three are friends of mine, and i know they will give you a million presentation today, and so i will turn it over to roger to get started. [applause] figuring out which one is yours. roger: here we are. i am at the national air and space museum, which i am certain is the favorite museum of anyone in this room. am i correct? notwithstanding the aerospace center, and i do have to start with a little bit of a plug. we have just reopened to our milestones hall, the building, the big central hall. it has been undergoing renovation. we have moved in and out, and we

there is a history done by the nasa history program soon after the nasa dust viking program ended, and it is a tremendous peopleof work that the put into making it a success, and then if you want to look at history, it picks up later. a book trying to understand the engineering required to get to mars and to understand it. what i would like to do, to a itree, the viking program -- did not happen for 17 years, but a lot of what was learned in andng made that possible, expansion of the engineering model, which is basically how scientists understand the planet to be so they can develop technology to land there. another reason for a precursor, if you look at this, you have got the orbiters that talked -- it combined the two and gave us a more complete, combined picture of what mars , the data we headed over to make sense of what mars was like, so here is a very quick rundown of the signs returned from viking. there is a lot more going on with viking than just the biological experiments. the orbiter, of course, was primarily for imaging. it creates the resolution of the photographs we have,

nasa loves it because astronauts are too busy to be full-time farmers."controlled release means less fertilizer being used, less waste and easier on labor for the farmer."their work will play a astronauts alive on their mission to mars. some of the growing efficiencies learned through this research may some day to used to help improve farming practices here on earth. live at 12:30 is up next-- facing criticism. obama is getting bashed as he tours flood damaged louisiana. also... confiscated.the record number of weapons the t-s-a has found in carry-on luggage i'm telling you. you won't believe the deal i got... dad loves telling people about the great deal he got on our at&t bundle. i save tons of money. right now, he's talking to someone services he wants. cause i don't pay for services i don't need. call at&t now and bundle directv, home phone and high speed internet for just $89.99 a month for two years. guaranteed. now, dad's probably talking about how fast high speed internet is and how much he loves the price. love the price... or how we save on mobi

[laughter] that is what makes nasa so neat. so we found ways to control the spacecraft to fly the spacecraft in ways that we had truly never thought of. never even considered. when the spacecraft was on earth or even in its vicinity. i will just give you one aspect of that. it is much longer story but i will mention one of them because it comes back to one of the earlier questions. that is we have a very small supply of conventional rocket propellant called hydrazine. we have about 12 gallons of that on for. it was not not meant for the purpose for which we're using it. but we have these thrusters on the spacecraft, little thruster here and there. if you squirt squirt some out of this thruster that makes the space craft turn like this, if you squirt some out of this thruster it makes it turn like that. we had not intended to fly the spacecraft that way, but that is one of the ways that we are doing it. we did not have enough of this hydrazine, this chemical to fly the mission this way. so we undertook a very, very, very ambitio

so up goes this new nasa rocket, that's, how is it different than past propulsion systems from nasa? is this rocket much different? >> it's sort of a reversion to what we were doing back in the launching astronauts on a capsule, up to lunar orbit, so we'd need a very similar mission architecture to that. it's certainly more -- >> it's a saturn rocket. >> and the capsule, too. if you look at the orion capsule that the humans actually stay in, it looks much more like the gemini and apollo capsules than, it doesn't look like a space shuttle. >> oh sure, because the shuttle is basically a bus. >> yes, it's a capsule and they drop it into the ocean. >> so when this goes up in how many, 18? >> about 13. >> 13, that will be jettisoned off. >> basically bus stops along the way to the moon. >> they will be dropped out? shot out? how does it work? >> they are deployed. it's called a deployer and just on a spring and we are, the front door opens and we're shot out of the side of the secondary payload deployer. it's a ring. many meters across and sort of slowly rotating and we get deployed at th

nasa want to protect every job. >> it's a bureaucracy. people at nasa are wonderful. but the leadership, they are all in tight with the industry. everybody likes to manage a contract. and so it's pretty nice system. at this point you have got $18 billion of the public's money that i think the space program could do better with. john: it could be so much better used, and so many americans say privatization. on msnbc they do get excited about space travel. but then the host has to say this. >> i also worry a great deal this is going to private industry. i keep thinking the competition of private companies in this on the planet has not necessarily led to equitable outcomes. john: the outcomes won't be equitable. >> i can't understand that. now i work for the airlines pilot union. we all fly in airplanes safely 700 million people a year. that's the technology that is completely run by the private sector and goes very well. i know people believe safety is with the government. but we don't have a perfect record at nasa, either. john: private parking ticket. cleaner water. w

and nasa thought, what can we do with this? we developed this tremendous capability to launch spacecraft all the way to the moon. we still have a couple of powerful rockets on hand. can we repurpose them and do something else? so the decision reached was to take the third stage of the gigantic saturn five rocket that powered the spacecraft away from earth on a trajectory to the moon and turn that into a

nasa is our principle donor, and at the end of nasa's need, the agency will transfer spacecraft, space suits, and a great variety of other equipment to the museum so it can be preserved and displayed and even used for research. spaceship one is a different case in that it came from private enterprise and so in this case, we work directly with the owner/manufacturer/designer, burt rutan and his business partner, paul allen, who is one of the cofounders of microsoft, and we approached them after the first flight in june of 2004 and said, regardless of whether you win the x-prize or not, we think spaceship one deserves to be in the national collection because it was the first privately developed spacecraft piloted by a human being to go into space and return. you might notice there's a small dent in the nozzle of the engine on the back of spaceship one. and that is not damage that was caused by delivering it to the museum or suspending it from the rafters. rather, that buckled in space during its first test flight when the engine ignited and just the heat and the force of the engine ignit

nasa has a completely different set of priorities. is a terrifying environment beingsuniverse for human , everything we send out there has got to be rock solid. that procurement cycle, the attitude toward buying is completely different. the rating is built around david: safety and nothing can go wrong. david:safety and reliability, the roughness of the universe on the space station in space shuttles and all that equipment. what are the challenges nasa faces putting computing power into space? guest: the primary one is radiation. it basically create small nuclear reactions in the cell of your skin. but for semi conductors, it is even worse. changing very small voltages to zeros, overes and time, even all amounts of radiation breaks down the materials and gives them their ability to count and makes them useless. read the story in the latest edition of the magazine on newsstands and online now and hear from the reporters on this week's most talked about stories every saturday and sunday on bloomberg television. has been set -- apple has

and we turned "enterprise" back over to nasa and nasa placed it at the intrepid sea, air, and space museum in new york city. so it has a new home there on an aircraft carrier of all places. >> you study the space shuttle. so let's go back into history. how was it developed? why was it developed? and what's its impact on america's space exploration? >> well, the space shuttle signaled a turn in america's space program from destination-focused program, let's get to the moon and get there before the russians do. let's put humans on the moon. and once that was done, nasa and the nation reoriented to trying to use space as a place to do useful work. to make space a normal part of what americans do in science and technology. so the philosophy turned from these throwaway vehicles that you use one time, very expensive way to going into space and tried to develop a spacecraft on the model of an airline, a craft that could be flown again and again and again, could carry more passengers and could carry more cargo into space. and so the space shuttle was a vehicle that would then enable the constructi

but it looks like nasa is starting to think big again. this week, the space agency announced the next step in what it hopes will be a human presence on mars. six companies were chosen to develop prototypes for long range missions in space. more specifically, how to design habitats that will allow humans to live in giants lockheed and boeing...but also named-- bigelow aerospace--whose plant in north las vegas built an expandable spacecraft that is currently attached to the i.s.s. as part of a two year mission. nasa will dole out 65 million dollars so the 6 companies can come up with the best, safest habitats that will first be used on or around the moon in the 2020's before the next big step to the red planet. the bigelow team has 24 months to come up with a ds (music--elvis presley singing)) ((george knapp)) next week will mark the 39th year since the king of rock and roll died. elvis presley's immense influence is still felt here in las vegas, and the cause of his death is still debated. drug use certainly played a part in his demise at

and so nasa transferred this lunar module to the national air and space museum. it consists of two parts, the base, which has the legs, and the rocket engine in it. and then the oddly shaped top which is the crew module or crew cabin. and this was attached to the command module for the flight from earth to lunar orbit. and once in lunar orbit, the two crew members who would descend to the surface, armstrong and aldrin climbed into the lunar module. it separated from the command module where michael collins stayed to orbit the moon and it began its descent down to the surface. down to the surface. >> we copy you now, eagle. >> drifting to the right a littl little. >> contact light. okay. engine stop. >> we copy you down, eagle. >> the eagle has landed. >> this was a thrilling moment in history and almost everybody who was alive at that moment remembered where they were, whether they were watching it on television in their own homes or if they were standing in an appliance store watching it on a television. people around the world stopped to watch the landing on th

and we turned "enterprise" back over to nasa and nasa placed it at the intrepid sea, air, and space museum in new york city. so it has a new home there on an aircraft carrier of all places. >> you study the space shuttle. so let's go back into history. how was it developed? why was it developed? and what's its impact on america's space exploration? >> well, the space shuttle signaled a turn in america's space program from destination-focused program, let's get to the moon and get there before the russians do. let's put humans on the moon. and once that was done, nasa and the nation reoriented to trying to use space as a place to do useful work. to make space a normal part of what americans do in science and technology. so the philosophy turned from these throwaway vehicles that you use one time, very expensive way to going into space and tried to develop a spacecraft on the model of an airline, a craft that could be flown again and again and again, could carry more passengers and could carry more cargo into space. and so the space shuttle was a vehicle that would then enable the constructi

nasa has a completely different set of priorities. this is a terrifying and difficult environment, the worst in the universe for human beings as well as electronics. everything we send out has got to be rock solid. that procurement cycle, their attitude is completely different . everything is built around safety and nothing can go wrong. reliability, and you mentioned the roughness of on the space station. what are the challenges that nasa faces? ian: the primary one is radiation. it is basically creating small nuclear reactions in the cells of your skin. arguably for semiconductors, it is even worse. that is micro electronic switches that thrive on changing very small voltages to represent ones and zeros. if you bombard them by radiation, it effectively reduces their properties and it breaks down the materials. it gives them their ability to count and record data. nazi gravediggers, world war ii memorabilia is getting more expensive. why wine collectors are seeing red. ♪ david: welcome to "bloomberg business week." the rise of some

i don't mean everybody here at jpl or everybody at nasa. i don't even mean the entire engineering and science community. i mean everybody. i think everyone participates in missions like this. to me, everyone who's ever looked up at the night sky and wondered, anyone who has any curiosity at all about earth and how it fits in, anybody who feels that longing to know the cosmos, or who wants to understand the nature of nature, and for that matter, anybody who's just ever felt that drive for bold adventure, right, a noble undertaking to go beyond the next horizon and see what's there. everybody participates in a mission like this. and that, to me, is what's most exciting about this kind of thing, because i think dawn and the other spacecraft around here truly as human kind's robotic ambassadors to the cosmos -- and

nasa says it will take some time to analyze the results but they will release nasa engineers simulating a splashdown of its orion spacecraft -- using crash test dummies. the dummies are in legit spacesuits -- and represent a 105 pound woman -- and a 220 pound man. crews used a pendulum and explosives to drop a test capsule into a pool of water at 25 miles-per-hour.. it's all part of an effort to eventually send humans to mars. nasa is confident the program is on for orion's first manned spaceflight, in 2023. adlib to weather evening with the temperature gradually falling into the middle 60s overnight. showers and thunderstorms will move in after midnight and continue saturday morning then mostly cloudy the rest of the afternoon with scattered t-storms. temperatures will stay in the upper 70s then rise into the 80s by sunday. gradual clearing throughout sunday then there is the slight chance for a tonight: rain and thunder after midnight. low: 65 dewpoint: 64 wind: e 2-4 mph saturday: morning rain and thunder will become scattered in the afternoon. high: 78 dewpoint: 68 wind: se-sw 5-10
