so nasa studied in 1958. these women were hired in the 1940s and they were hired by a woman named nancy roberts. the reason she hired all women was because she felt like she had hired men they would listen to her simply because she was a woman. and this is a cohesive group. they work for nasa 40 or 50 years. one of them still work there today and so they really had to support one another. >> and by the way if you want to dial in and talk with nathalia holt this of the numbers. 202-748-8200 for those of you in the eastern central time zones. and 202-748-8201 for those of you in the mountain and pacific time zones. was their reluctance by these women to share their experiences with you? >> it wasn't. from the beginning they loved telling me their stories about the history and it wasn't very easy to find them. so when i first contacted the nasa archives that all of these lovely photographs of the women. but they had lost most of their names and all of their contact information. >> so what was step two? >> to fin

and that money is important to them and it is important to nasa because nasa can't put an american in space and hasn't in six years. also, nasa is trying to be more nimble and encourage student groups and small start ups to put microsatellites up and nanosatellites and cube satellites. nasa is trying to roll with the times and be more entrepreneurial and there is a lot of partnerships. >> host: you mention the university of arizona has its own space program. >> guest: yes, we have been trusted by nasa to do everything except the launch for itself for a space probe. first the phoenix lander that went to the martial polar reason and that is cyrus rex that will grab a little bit of an asteroid and bring it back in seven or eight years. >> host: you write about the importance of asteroids. what is that? >> guest: if you want to get a glitter in your eye they are valuable. it happens to be coming near the earth and probably has a billion worth of precious metal at current market prices and about the name -- same -- amount of bare earth. these are huge mineral resources out there and availa

also nasa is trying to be more noble. they're trying to encourage entrepreneurial outfits not at the level of spacex but student groups and small startups to put microsatellites up. masses trying to learn and roll with the time to be more entrepreneurial. >> host: you've mentioned that university of arizona has its own space program. >> guest: we have been entrusted by nasa twice to do everything except launch itself for space program. first the phoenix lander which went to the polar region. >> host: beyond a future station what about the importance of asteroids? >> guest: asteroids come if you want to get the glitter in your eye, they are valuable commodities, a 500-meter asteroid happens to be coming near the earth that you could capture by altering its orbit has probably $2 trillion worth of precious metals at current market prices. in about the same amount of rare earth. so these are huge mineral resources that are out there and available. there is little practical problem of how you get them in a safe orbit without t

nasa great again. but watch what happened in the oval office after the president signed the authorization bill for space agency's current budget: >> mr. president, if i may. just as americans remember that president eisenhower was the father of the interstate highway system, with your bill signing today and your vision and leadership, future generations will remember that president donald trump was the father of the interplanetary highway system. >> well, that sounds exciting. ( laughter ) first, we want to fix our highways. we're going to fix our highways. >> reporter: europa and mars may beckon, but for politicians, it's never wise to ignore the potholes, even when surrounded by people who care more about black holes. for the pbs newshour, i'm miles o'brien in washington, d.c. >> woodruff: the peacekeeping force deployed by the united nations has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. that is due in no small part to past allegations of sexual abuse by troops deployed in countries like the de

if you're nasa, that's something you're used to. how you've been doing business for a long time with aerospace contractors. this is an example how it might look in one of the lunar c configuratio configurations. and it's going along, until elon musk and says i want to fly your cargo, and they said basically nice, kid, get out of the tent. let us know when you're ready. >> much to the surprise of many who follow this, he's flying large payloads and getting ready to fly astronauts probably later this year or later next year, in tests of his new spacecraft. this is his dragon 2 capsule. going back one step. nasa with the sls. they flew a test capsule. it workout out fine. the next flight is 2018, unmanned flight and fly with a crew in 2021. we went from 15 minutes of time in space to landing on the moon in about eight and a half years. but it's taken us this long to test this rocket. there's a lot less money at stake. nasa has only about 1/10 of the budget they had in the '60s. there's good reasons for that, but it's just too long. in

nafeesa: nasa shares things in common. they have personal information of people, email networks, which most federal agencies have. but imagine -- they have 20 facilities, labs, flight centers all around the country that they have to take care of. then they share information with other space agencies like russia, japan, the european space agency. there's a lot of data going back and forth. that's only what we are talking about on earth. then you have all the information and all the equipment that they have out in space. we are really talking about the whole other realm that does not include all the networks here on earth. caroline: so, you spoke with the chief information officer in charge of cybersecurity. what is her key concern at nasa? nafeesa: she is kind of setting the agenda. she says we need to get control of our network internally first. it's a matter of time before someone hacks something in space. that would be her nightmare scenario, if a hacker was able to hack into a satellite or something in space and take ov

. >> did nasa have a specific program that encouraged this? scenic nasa started in 1958 and these women were hired in the 1940s and they were hired by a woman named macy roberts and the reason she hired all women was because she felt like if she hired men they wouldn't listen to her simply because she was a woman and wanted to create ared cohesive group of women that worked for nasa for 40 or 50 years. one of them still works there today so they had to support onw another. >> host: were they shy -- if you want to die of a man to talk here are the numbers. 748, 8200 for those of you in theast and central time zones, 748-8201 for those of you in tho mountain and pacific time zones. was their reluctance to share their experiences with you? >> there wasn't.n from the beginning they love telling me the stories about their history, and it wasn't very easy to find them so when i first contacted the archives he had all these lovely photographs of them, but they had lost most of their names in all of their contact information. >> host: what was staff m

just -- not just at langley or all of the nasa and naca installations. i would like to encourage you to contact my form on the web site margot lee shetterly.com. i have been in touch with the museums and if you know the names of women who were your grandmothers or mothers, aunts colleagues friends ladies that you knew from church, your neighbors, please let me know because i really would like to have all of their names because none of these women are in the shadows anymore. now all of these stories have the beginning, a middle and an aunt. i ardini the end. and the result of this wonderful history that happened here in hampton virginia. my father is retired scientist. my mother retired hampton university english professor. i'm the proud product of integrated hampton city schools and they graduated from the university of virginia which now takes men and women from all backgrounds. that first meeting six years ago led me to ask the question how did this all begin? how did she and katherine johnson and the many women i knew from my childhood end up at nasa?

she is nasa's longest-serving female employee. and i was particularly struck when i spoke with her not only about all the achievements she had and she has worked on such an incredible number of missions from these first planetary and lunar missions to voyager, to mars rovers. and at the same time she was very open about wanting to have her personal experiences in the book. particularly the loss of her first child. and it is such a tender moment i was really worried about how she would feel about seeing it in the book. and she felt very strongly that this was not an issue. that must women feel open about and she wanted to included in there. so just getting to know her and getting to record her stories was so important to me. and especially because she, her story is a bit disappointing. and 2004, nasa decided that if you do not have an advanced degree you cannot hold the title of engineer. so even though she'd gone from being a computer and 58 to the receiving the title of engineer in 1969, actually took that away from her in 2004.

we renounce nasa to boost of science and advanced technology. i said in 2010 when we were doing this, we were trying to put the science back in rocket science. nasa has been spending the bulk of its budget on big rockets and space shuttles, using 1980's or 1970's technology. those big rockets were so expensive that the budgets were being drained out of space science, space telescopes, robotics missions, aeronautics. we rebalance that after quite a long struggle with the congress. another big focus and an early priority for the president was exploiting private sector innovation talent to improve the responsiveness of government itself. that was reflected in the quantity and quality of the talent the president brought into government from the science and technology space. growing much of it from the private sector, the civil society sector. the first ever presidential science fellows which the president brought in in large numbers -- presidential innovation fellows, who were very talented people brought in from the private sector and from universi

a nasa video promoting a mission that keeps making astonishing discoveries about saturn. a spacecraft called cassini has focused on one of saturn's moons, enceladus. beneath its icy surface is a deep ocean. and greatjets of water, blasting out of it, contain ingredients needed for life. in fact, nasa scientists now say that on the floor of the ocean there may be hydrothermal vents, like these, on earth, making hydrogen that can feed microbes. so, conceivably, there could be life on enceladus. this is a very significant finding, because the hydrogen could be a potential source of chemical energy for any microbes that might be in enceladus's ocean. so this is a very exciting finding for the cassini team. saturn, with its rings, is perhaps the most striking of the planets, and this mission by nasa and the european space agency has been incredibly revealing. the spacecraft itself, cassini, is one of the largest ever sent into deep space. it stands nearly seven meters tall, and it has been on an epicjourney. it left earth back in 1997, flying out beyond mars, weaving past jupi

and so, it's very exciting to be at nasa. we are all very much looking forward, as directed by your new nasa bill, we are excited about the missions to mars in the 20305. and so, we actually physically have hardware on the ground that's been built for the sl5 rocket that's going to take us there and, of course, the hardware being built now is going to be for the test flights that will eventually get us there. but it's a very exciting time and i'm so proud of the team. great. and what are we learning from having you spending your time up there? i know so much research is done. i'm getting a glimpse of some of it right here in the oval office. what are we learning by being in space? well, i think probably the international space station is providing a key bridge from us living on earth to going somewhere into deep space. so, on those mars missions, we need to better understand how microgravity is really affecting our body and we need to understand it in great detail, so many of the studies are looking at the human body. we are

the mantra of nasa has been, follow the water. if we find lots of water in these oceans, we find evidence of organics and the building blocks of life and now we have found a source of energy. an incredible moment for us. what is the terrain we are talking about and how similar is it to anything you might find on this planet? so the hydrogen is being produced because the core of enceladus is very porous. so ocean water can move through it, get heated by energy from the core, interact with the rocks and then vent in some fashion into the overlying ocean water. a good example of this is what we find in our deep oceans, known as hydrothermal vents. we are not sure that we have these tall structures, but it's the same kind of chemistry. as you may know, when we discovered these a0 years ago, we found them because they were surrounded by incredibly complex and beautiful ecosystems, giant worms, shrimp, fish, basically supported by energy coming out of these fluids from beneath the surface. i am not going to ask you to put a percentage c
