the women of nasa don't think so, and neither does nasa, for it is generally agreed that differences in performance occur when there is a difference in opportunity to learn and to gain experience. >> when i was picked about a year or so ago to be a backup payload specialist on a dress rehearsal on a space shuttle flight, i was was afraid at that time because i thought maybe i really can't do it. but as it turned out, i was picked because of the investigators who had submitted experiments, as it will be for actual flight. the payload specialist and scientist astronauts are chosen because maybe there is some particular characteristic of their own experiments that would make them be the best person to conduct that experiment, and also because their educational background is varied enough to be able to adequately carry out other people's experiments on board. as we went through the simulation, i found out that i could learn what i had to learn and i was doing just fine. >> 3, 2, 1. fire. >> ♪ narrator: and so as we approach the 21st century drifting through the universe at almost 1000

and even people who didn't want to talk about nasa want to talk about nasa. do you agree there is an opportunity here because? >> i disagree because we had that conversation before hand and i think it was in june of 2016 or whenever he started his campaign thing that mexicans were rapist, murders and if you remember there was an agreement called or an approach that we were looking at called the transpacific partnership and under the transpacific partnership we did nasa two-point oh. everything were talking about except for the fury and fire was done during gdp and the only bad thing is under the third day of the presidency the president got out of the transpacific partnership and the only one that was happy was china because we got out of that itself. trade is very important and i live in laredo and i represent all the way down to the valley to antonio. every day there is $1.3 billion of trade between the united states and the united states. that's over $1 million a minute and then when he talks about the rapists and murderers, look what the chicks have sent.

that's what nasa science does for us every day. showing now our views of the solar eclipse from various nasa assets 11 of them were focused , on this unique event as well as three aircraft. in fact, when looking at the eclipse, i could not help myself thinking of the solar probe launching next year, which will travel closer to the sun then which will revolutionize our understanding of the sun, which is really the rosetta stone of understanding of all stars in the universe. additionally, we could take advantage of unique opportunities provided by the eclipse to do science. we will continue to improve after the launching later on our understanding and capabilities for what is happening to the region at the edge of space. we also want to stress citizen science. i'm going to let matt talk about this. it's valuable to have science done by citizens, not just professionals, and there's true value with this, not just here but elsewhere. with safety a top priority, we published protocols on our websites and partnered with the american astro

and for nasa. with all of this complex numbers that were used first to develop the aerodynamics for airplanes and then later for spaceflight and now, you said this is not hidden history, it is unseen history. and i know you said everybody asks you, why don't we know this? but i'm going to ask you, why don't we know this? [laughter] and why is it unseen? are we afraid to look at it? were we too busy -- why was this unseen? >> i think the primary reason why this history has been unseen is because this work was women's work. and you know, not just at nasa. there was this group of african-american women working at nasa. they were part of a much larger cohort of women from all backgrounds doing the work at all of the different nasa centers. there were women computers working in the army and the navy. they were working at -- which was the precursor to at&t and basically founded the communications revolution. virtually, everywhere he found technological progress that required numbercrunching, there were w

dorothy vaughn worked at -- as a math teacher before she went to nasa. she worked at a school in farmville, virginia, that filed a lawsuit that was eventually incorporated into the brown versus board of education suit and that school system was shut down by the state of virginia, rather than comply with the board decision in integrate. so, it really was fascinating to mewa to look at the-- these sweeps of history and see how this opening for all of these women happened during world war ii and because of the need for labor. and because of the external threats and that we would see these periods of backlash, for example, when virginia closed its school. wanted to understand how the big picture circumstances affected the individual lives of these people and how they responded to those of circumstances. >> i also love this idea of looking at, for example, during the cold war when all of these countries were fighting off their colonial oppressors and the pressure that are brought on america to show that, hey, we're not really that bad. we will strike out segr

any further we want to tell our viewers this is a call lee plan has been in space twice worked for nasa or for 20 some year your chance to talk to an astronaut -- 748 in east and central time zone 748-8201 for hose of you in mountain and pacific time zone what are you doing -- that you were able to apply to mast is a because a lot of people i'm sure qowld like to apply to nasa. >> well after, after leaving the dallas cowboys with the pulled hamstring back to graduate school full-time and i got my master's degree and science engineering, and then this woman said hey, you should come work for nasa i'm like i'm going to work for dupont they make more money there but she was tenacious she said we need more like you at nasa i apply and getting the job to work at mast is a as a research engineer. >> in what field? >> so i was a material science engineer. but we were working in an area called nondestructive evaluation sciences and building systems from measuring damage and the space shuttle tiles or air space vehicles usings different types of sensors fibers web lasers and thermal systems for

in alabama and he's published peer review articles interpreting observations made by nasa, the nasa missions voyager, interstellar boundary explorer and new horizons. a couple of very accomplished young scientists. let me start by asking dr. cable a few questions. how has voyager influenced your career as a scientist? >> well, voyager's had an immense impact i think on all the careers of scientists and engineers in my generation. it's been more an impact the people have made, being able to work at jpl and cal tech alongside people like ed stone, hi, has been amazing. dr. lynn fill ker has taken me under her wing and through her mentorship i've been able to excel with this knowledge passed down from this voyager veterans. it's been an incredible way to start to find my own path as a scientist in planet tri science and space exploration. >> and which planets have you studied? >> planets, i'm going to say moons are more exciting for me. so i'm really interested in astro biology and thanks to the amazing discoveries of voyager and building on those with cassini, i'm really excited about these oc

just that nasa, there is a cadre of african-american women working at nasa, they are part of a larger cohort of women from all backgrounds doing the work of the different nasa centers. they were working in the army and navy, they were working at bell labs which many of you know is the precursor to at&t offended the communications revolution. virtually everywhere you found technological progress the required number crunching and data there were women. a room full of women like a living excel spreadsheet doing math. work was considered sub- professional work. it was necessary but the women were classified as sub professionals which meant they are above clerical employees. . . >> >> i gave to myself wait a minute i want to hear how you have the idea. there were plenty of other people in your neighborhood i'mho sure everybody knew this story what made you decide this was worth au book?. >> there was a very specific moment when "hidden figures" came out of the moment between two important men in my life and my husband. they had gone back to hamptonor we had read it to a woman that have wor

engineers name was going to war and he worked for nasa to drive. towards an employee and he was subject to one of these searches no which the full story in the background. so this plaintive is an indian origin muslim who is a scientist for nasa he designs technology for space telescopes in this case he was on his way back from vacation in chile in february and when he returned to the u.s. it was just days after the signing of the travel ban when a customs and border protection agent in the houston airport pressured him to unlock his phone by typing it in in his password and forced to hand it over now is a natural born citizen and to even have a global in tree which is basically pre-approved clearance to get you through customs quicker and easier and keep in mind to join this program you have to go through a federal background check and even in person interview but regardless he was escorted to an interview room and was forced to give up his phone the officer told him that they had to search his possessions to make sure that he wasn't bringing anyth

this is what nasa science does for us every day. so now from the various assets 11 are focused on this event as well as the aircraft and like a not help myself launching next year their probe traveling closer to the sun bin any time before hoping to expand the probe of. really bad is the rosetta's stone to understand all stars in the universe. and then to take advantage of the unique opportunities those that were selected that measure is the hall to the atmosphere and later the capability for what is happening in that region. to suspect a word about safety this is prove critical to. >> with 4.3 million. in closing let me talk about geophysics and improve life on earth and then to see that soars with the naked eye. i suggest. >> madam chair and members the for the opportunity to testify to the solar eclipse. they witnessed the total solar eclipse as day disappeared from the sky they scrambled as much data as possible from the crowd of. the sun's corona is the source of the solar storm for go that refers to the effect of the solar sys

and nasa just let astronauts take home stuff from their missions? >> that tended to happen quite a bit more up and through the end of the apollo period. astronauts often took home memorabilia. afterwards, shuttle astronauts had to give everything back. >> for example, those cameras from the mercury missions. >> the first astronaut to take one to space was wally schirra on his mercury mission. he was an amateur photographer, and they got some more in order to train with them and then, of course, take them to space. >> how important was photography in space? >> it's really fundamental to everything that we understand as people who can't go their ourselves. it's a tremendous value to scientists who started to study weather from space. so, this is kind of the early phases of learning about the earth. >> now they're sought after by collectors, some selling for six figures. so, looking to provide shelly a cash cushion and a crash course in selling space memorabilia, rick cigel asks his friend, a new hampshire auction executive, bobby livingston to unload

just released a statement saying that both nasa and its russian counterpart cosmos along with other international space station partners see the gateway as a strategic component of human space exploration architecture while deep space gateway is only conceptual at this point it's still pretty amazing that americans would dare to even think about working with the rest. in any form if we are indeed at war with them like morgan freeman would have you believe if everything rachel maddow says were true then people in minnesota are either dom or really crazy being a bit of a space lover myself i've met a bunch of nasa folks and i would never call them either which makes me wonder that maybe just maybe middle one more going to the ones who have lost the thread there's a lot of further study that both nasa and most cosmos planned on doing to figure out how to build and maintain the deep space gateway not to mention how to fund it these days a lot of science this time i asked that and that would probably be a part of the gateway to which is also pretty funny considering how a lot of people w

to mark the anniversary, nasa launched the message to voyager campaign inviting twitter users to submit a 60 character message to be beamed to the craft. the winning entry was announced last month, and took almost a day to reach voyager one. it was william shatner, the actor who played captainjames t kirk on star trek, who gave the command at nasa's jet star trek, who gave the command at nasa'sjet propulsion laboratory star trek, who gave the command at nasa's jet propulsion laboratory to send a message written by oliver jenkins that states: send the message. on your command. this is to voyager at 1720 01. when william shatner read it is really cool. a massive trekkie and it is an honour to have captain kirk read my message. what could be more infighting than swimming in the new york river? waterways aren't known for their cleanliness but that could be about to change with plus pool, it isa be about to change with plus pool, it is a swimming pool designed to float in the river and filter over 600,000 gallons of river water, making it safe to beijing. the project has been floated around

not from nasa, but from private. >> absolutely. if i ever flew again, it would be there. >> you said that it gave you a different feeling about how we -- a small part of a larger universe. how does that affect your dafr life? >> i think it makes you more of an environmentalist looking at the planet. it makes you more of a kind of a humanist. you know, looking out at 7 1/2 billion people on earth. no political borders. and then just hearing all the news that, you know, happens on this planet, on a daily basis. mostly bad news. talking to the choir here. >> yeah. >> but it really changes you and makes you more empathetic. >> so we should send world leaders to space? >> yeah. we need those lessons back on earth. >> interestingly enough, my russian colleague says that if we want to solve problems between russia and the united states, we should just send our two presidents o space for a year. >> i'm sure they would -- he's going to get in trouble now for that. >> i didn't say it. >> that was misha. >> you didn't take it was a bad idea t
