and that is something that i learned over my 20 years at nasa. the international partnership with the space station program is so important. i mean, and malleable at the same time. i mean, it gets a something that is important for us to work on as a group rather than something negative to be arguing about all the time which seems like we often do. i appreciate earth more and the environment, being able to look at earth for a really long time from space makes you think about how fragile the atmosphere looks, how some part of it are polluted, how this is the only planet we have i'm not a believer that mars is our lifeboat. for our civilization to grow and develop and expand we will have to have people living other places, but that's not because we're going to destroy this place, just run there. we have to take care of this planet. i learned about, like to the experts are, right? and if you want to know something about rocket science, you ask a rocket scientist. if you want to know something about climate science, you don't ask a lawyer. you ask cli

>> when i was on the statement -- the space station now that nasa has determined there absolutely is liquid water on mars during some times of the year will not help us get there any sooner. now if we found money we get there really fast. technologically i think we could do it but we need to have a better understanding of physical stuff with vision or radiation effects shielded crew whether we do that with a magnetic field or water or just get there very fast. but the biggest challenge going to mars is what my brother says it isn't about the rockets but the political science and having voters elect members of congress that are science minded people that see the value to put the resources behind it whether we change the laws or get the administration that recognizes nasa cannot change direction and plans every time you have a new president that would be very helpful. we are not going to venus. it would be too hard with us so forecasted rain clouds in the crushing pressure but maybe titan or a place with water. >> you mention in your book your realization of how awesome water was there

i thought i believe in nasa and our ability to do incredible things. i know this is a tragic accide accident, but i do believe in nasa enough that i believe we can rise to the occasion and make it safer. it will never be perfectly safe. but it never crossed my mind wants to leave. >> for anybody watching who thinks you have to do things right all the time, can you go back to when you were young pilot and you are not the ace of the base, can you share a few things we just said they counted i forget here. >> all share some of the things my brother says how good you are when he started is no reflection on how good you can become with hard work, perseverance were giving up. that size been the case with me. never been the best student but eventually i became a good student. i wasn't the best pilot and first back in those days i think there's more close calls because people were more careless at times. i was not immune to that. a number of occasions i am a skilled myself. a few wake-up calls. despite the fact that have thousands more hours of flight time now

president donald trump has signed a directive ordering nasa to return american astronauts to the moon is time we will not only plant our flag and leave our footprint we will establish a foundation for an eventual mission to mars and perhaps someday to many worlds beyond. a return to the moon would make a strategic claim in space for the u.s. at a time when rival nations notably china are contemplating their own lunar missions but it won't be cheap easy or quick experts say it would take at least a decade and it will cost billions of dollars. now for more on this story i'm joined by derek williams from detail news a science department thank you very much for coming in as we could done once it's been forty five years since the last manned mission to the moon and other troubles to go even further you want to aim for maz how realistic is this well i think what's interesting about this directive is that it's really a shift the obama era really was focused very much on a trip to mars and shifting it back towards a trip to the moon now getting there is going to be a question of what kind of
