to transform nasa. i had previous to that worked for grassroots organization that was really interested in returning human spaceflight to more than just a handful of astronauts and nasa had sort of lost its way i think after the shuttle accidents when they didn't have the ability to get more people into space for lower costs more reliably. that was the goal of the shuttle. so coming back to nasa as the deputy administrator in the obama administration i thought it was a very natural goal to want to continue that transformation process, and president elect obama happen to agree. so it says my quest because it's a memoir but it's a lot of people's quest for decades and that's why what the book. >> host: lets open that up for a minute. he said nasa had lost its way and that's a big statement. what do you mean by that and how did that happen? >> guest: we are talking primarily about human aspaceflight at nasa. many, many things that nasa go very well and, in fact, human spaceflight has in some sense been hug

i had left nasa in 2001. and now in 2008 i had been asked before even being deputy to lead the transition team for the incoming obama administration and the human spaceflight program was in disarray. i should say not only we we were retiring the shuttle which i felt was the right decision. there wasn't really a lot of political. um difference of opinion on that the former george w. bush president had deemed that necessary if we weren't able to recertify the shuttle which would have been very expensive as you said the program constellation to replace it we found was off track it had in its first four years spent. over 8 billion dollars, but had been delayed five years if you were going to keep it going it was currently going to launch only after within their budget profile. the space station would have had to have been de-orbited. their plan was only able to be paid for if they de-orbited the space station. we knew they weren't going to really do that. they were trying to really just trick the next administrat

did you transform nasa? >> i try many times to make it clear throughout the book are not the only person who could transform nasa, a huge group of people working on that but i would take yes, nasa is transformed. it's being transformed and people have told me, who are still there, it is a different place and people talk about contracts and even nasa administrator. >> thank you so much. escaping gravity, a pleasure talking with you. >> wonderful to talk to you. ♪♪ to receive a schedule of upcoming programs, other discussions, book festivals and more, book tv every sunday on c-span2 or anytime online at the tv to org. television series readers. ♪♪ >> american history tv saturdays on c-span2 exploring people and events that tell the american story. 12:30 p.m. eastern on the presidency. george washington's involvement with free masonry in his life and work from his book deserving brother. 4:45 p.m. eastern cast members of the world war ii miniseries band of brothers reflects on historical cultural significance o

so, why did you leave nasa?at nasa almost five years after being on the transition team. they had told me they would be replacing the head of nasa if the president was reelected but a few months in it became clear. they were not going to charlie and i again we got along but it wasn't very fair of me to be there continually being seen at least as opposing his policies and i wasn't looking but i got cold call from a headhunter looking for a game changer to run a major aerospace association and i knew i wouldn't leave nasa to go to industry or anything like that. this was the airline pilots union and they made me an authorized. i just loved it. i worked there for five years and i put a lot of what i learned about, you know running a major organization and making progress into that for a while. alright, so last question again going back to the subtitle that you wanted to transform nasa. that was your quest. did you succeed did you transform nasa? well, i try many times to make it very very clear throughout the book

>> i have been at nasa in the 1990s working under the nasa administrator at the time who was working to transform nasa previous that i worked with a grassroots organization and then returning human spaceflight to more than just a handful of astronauts and that lost its way after the shuttle accident when they didn't have the ability to get more people in space. that was the goal of the shuttle succumbing back to nasa with the obama administration i thought it was a natural goal to continue the transformation process and president-elect obama happen to agree. it says it's a memoir but it's over decades and that's why i wrote the book. >> so you said nasa lost its way? that is a big statement. what do you mean end how did that happen. >> we are talking about human spaceflight many things go very well and in fact it has usually been important and transformational even since apollo but it was to reduce the cost and increase reliability of human space transportation and it had not. we had only flown a couple of hundred astronauts since apollo in the 30 years and we lost two crew, 14 peopl

this was all with nasa's blessing, because the nasa engineers were there as well. but, primarily, from a pilot's point of view, is this handle in the right place, if you have a switch, would you have to use to counteract an emergency, is it reachable? is it visible? or do you have to go behind your back somewhere to find it? primarily, from a pilot's point of view, was our interface. >> then, finally, you end up being the first man to fly in a mercury spacecraft. did you know that was coming, or was it a surprise? can you describe your steps that led up to it? >> we had been in training for, probably, 20 months or so. toward the end of 1960, or early 61, when we all, intuitively, felt that, pretty soon, bob had to make a decision as to who was going to make the first flight. and when we received word tate bob wanted to see us in the afternoon one day, in our office, it felt that, perhaps, he had decided. there were seven of us then, in the one office. we have seven desks around in the hangar in langley field, and bob walked in, and closed the door, and was very mat

but nasa started looking at me, several months went by. and finally, i said yes, i will just show that you are no longer accepted by this meniere's disease. so there i was having made the right decision. >> i think we better backtrack a little here, because obviously, this is going to bring you into direct discussion about a fellow named dick's layton. we had established the fact that him, like you, had not gotten over flying. let's go back to that, that happened in the mercury days, when he was getting ready to fly. i wonder if you had first heard -- >> we were assigned to follow john. >> right, and suddenly, he was bumped from his mercury flight. that was a heart condition, wasn't it? >> yes. there was a lot of controversy about that. because it was a heart murmur, or a palpitation, some irregularity, but one which was not obvious. i mean, it was not a continuous thing. it was not as if he was getting getting ready for cardiac arrest, or anything like that. it was just occasionally, he'd have a twist on their. >> but, a real blow. i wond

could it nasa change the orbit of an asteroid? as a practice run for the day when one might hurtle toward earth and kill us all? the dry run mission called the double asteroid redirection test, or d.a.r.t. for short. it was the first of its kind, and nasa report it worked, even better than scientists had expected. >> reporter: from 7 million miles away, a photograph has proved that nasa's d.a.r.t. mission worked. the exploding cloud of dirt and rock, the moment a refrigerator -sized asteroid spacecraft landed to the asteroid. the impact gave it a big shove. dramatically shortening its orbit, even more than nasa had hoped. >> it was expected to be a huge success if it only slowed the orbit by about 10 minutes. but it actually slowed it by 32 minutes. >> reporter: traveling at 14,000 miles per hour, d.a.r.t.'s camera caught the final impact. while it poses no risk to us, nasa hope they can one day use the same technique to divert a massive meteor on a collision course with earth. a so-called planet killer, like the one that killed o

well, thomas s statler is that program scientist at nasa's planetary science division. he says the successful test test will help the space agency develop future technology . the results of the test really were in accord with what we're expecting. what we're doing is beginning to develop a technology that could one day be used to deflect an asteroid. if we ever need to, in this 1st test, we didn't know what the structural properties were of the asteroid that we were targeting dimorphic. it might have been a solid rock. it might have been a fractured rock. it might have been a pile of debris. and so we had a wide range of expectations for what might happen. what did happen is we got a big splash of what we call ejector. that gave a good push to the asteroid. it was the upper end of what we were expecting, what we were hoping for, but this result is absolutely fantastic because it does give us confidence that this technique could be useful in the future if we ever need it. lebanon, israel have reached agreement on that to speech and maritime borders being held as a histor

and we know that the nasa -- that nasa, rather, has already catalogued more than a million known asteroidsisk. but they think they've only catalogued 40%. so there is a chance that there is an asteroid out there that they have not yet identified, that could be on a trajectory that would bring it very close to earth. and the sooner that they can identify those, track them, and then they can hopefully work on this planetary defense. if it is a big one, a mega asteroid it may need be to be a global aspiration, multiple countries coming together to push the asteroid of course. >> tom costello, thank you. >> it is cool. >> thank you very much. >> i am feeling a little better now. appreciate it. >> okay, all right. >>> that will do it for us this hour. tune in at 11:00 a.m. eastern tomorrow for an early edition of "chris jansing reports" because we're gearing up for the next january 6th hearing. katy tur reports next. nuary 6th. katy tur reports next. it goes on clear. no mess. just soothing comfort. try vicks vapostick. moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin. despite treatment it disr

nasa says its dart mission was a success. scientists have now confirmed the vending machine size spacecraft that barreled into a harmless asteroid millions of miles away last month. >> succeeded in shifting asteroid's orbit. they say it took days of telescope observations to confirm the results. the mission proves that nasa is capable of changing the path of an asteroid with a kinetic impact. us a call it but nasa says in order for the technique to actually work, the agency would have to know about the threat as early as possible. so there you go. there you go. that wraps kron. 4 news at 6. we'll see tonight at 8 o'clock. have a nice evening. r internet isn't ideal. dad made the brillant move to t us t-mobile home internet. hich... have to share our signal with e entire neighborhood. ah, now we do some weird ings to get our speeds. ll..... i'up.

pl -- >> we shed the world nasa is serious as i as -- as defender of this planet. ♪ >> the internationaletary fund is painting a bleak picture of the global economy, as the war in ukraine, rises in prices, and interest rates take their toll. but the worst may be up to come, with the three largest economies, the u.s., the eu, and china, continuing to stall. according to the latest report, global economic growth fell from 6% in 2021, to just over 3% this year. and that is expected to fall to 2.7% next year. china's economy is forecast to grow just 3.2% this year, and that is a dramatic fall from 8.1% last year. the imf also slashed its outlook for growth in the u.s. to 1.6% this year, down from a july forecast of 2.3%. the collective economy of the 19 countries this year, they are expected to grow 3.1% this year. by 2023, that slashed to just half a percent. the imf also raised concerns about inflation, with the rate soaring to 8.8% this year. it is predicted to start coming down slowly to about 6.5% next year. alan fisher begins her coverage from the imf headquarters in washington -- is c

nasa tonight answering the question, did it work? after colliding with that asteroid on purpose, were they able to knock it offtrack? what nasa has now revealed. >>> and we celebrate a legend tonight. angela lansbury, the star of stage and screen, famous for "murder she wrote" and "bu can i and the beast," but so many other roles, too. tonight, her 75-year career and how she wanted to be remembered in her own words. >>> good evening and it's great to have you with us here on a tuesday night. and we begin tonight with the abc news interview. one-on-one with herschel walker, the republican senate candidate in georgia. as a candidate, walker opposes abortion with no exceptions, but now finds himself battling claims from a woman who says he paid for her abortion, then encouraged her to get a second abortion, as well. she says she refused to get that second abortion. tonight, as you'll see right here, herschel walker says she is lying. walker in his first network interview since these allegations broke, one-on-one with our linsey davis. s

it was the first try of its kind now nasa reports it worked, even better than scientists had expectedom costello >> reporter: from seven million miles away, photographic proof that nasa's dart mission worked. that exploding cloud of dirt and rock the moment the refrigerator-sized spacecraft slammed into an asteroid named dimorphus orbiting an even bigger asteroid. the impact gave dimorphus a big shove, dramatically shortening its orbit even more than nasa had hoped. >> it was expected to be a huge success if it only slowed the orbit by about ten minutes but it actually slowed it by 32 minutes. [ cheering ] >> traveling at 14,000 miles per hour, d.a.r.t.'s nose camera caught the final seconds before impact while the asteroid poses no risk to us, nasa is hoping it can one day use the same technique to divert a massive meteor on a collision course with earth. a so-called planet killer like the one that killed off the dinosaurs 65 million years ago >> warning time is really key here in order to enable this sort of asteroid deflection to potentially be used in the future >> reporter: nasa

and even nasa is participating in this program. and that's quite unique because normally we are the small part of a nasa program. in this case. it is fair to say that your peers would established itself as a, as a major player as a leader in observing our planet on the voice of course, climate change sustainability. all of these are key topics or which we address from space. and yes, so this program really helps us understanding i want blended. and there's a little bit more on that when it comes to trying to understand where climate change is going as a forecast. what do you gauging from this at the moment in terms of your research? mean what we see, and we've just heard very recently, that methane emissions are increasing drastically much higher than what we expected . of course, we all know about your 2 or so being the main greenhouse gas that is crating or the bombing of our planet. of course, we aim at $1.00 degrees by the end of the century. i just a very tough goal and we can only reach it if we are not taking serious measure
