through two years, lots of meetings, fights within nasa, lots of outreach, nasa hired michelle nichols to make presentations at the minority schools to let them know there was going to be a place for them. perspective, he was supposed to answer letters from students. who wrote i want to be and astronaut want up on his desk. he noticed a lot were from women. a lot were from minority students. what was he supposed to tell them? to tell them? he told them, study hard. yes, there will be a place for you, -- knowing that he there wasn't going to be a place yet the real so in a 1998 in january, he makes phone calls to 30 happy people. 10 of them are violets, 20 of them are mission specialists, six of them are women. three of the people he calls are african-americans. there is a young engineer from hawaii. has beent time, nasa encouraging women and minorities to be members of the orps.naut ci >> there has never been as election since then that has not included them or that hasn't been diverse the way that george abbey wanted it. prejudice innough the military, being a victim of a few shenanig

to do i think i think nasa has been i think they're pursuing both things i think that. i think ness is i think nasa has been supported fairly well with their with their budget i don't you know it's just like any. else i think any other country i'm not. familiar i'm not really familiar with our countries but i am somewhat familiar with our country's budget and that's really all the parts of the world but in general you're always concerned about how much money you have to spend on things and just like how to hold your home right what you going to spend your money on and that's the decisions our country has to make that our leaders of our country in the people as well so having said that i think that the space program has been given a certain piece of that of that budget that has been fairly healthy over the years just as we've been able to build the space station we've been able to send probes to mars and beyond the solar system and done this great great research of the different facilities and cooperate with these other countries are we including russia so i think it's b

so much about that particular issue but i do have confidence in all the years at nasa and working both with nasa and with our russian counterparts that they do the right thing and they work pretty well together our countries don't always agree on other things apparently and yet in one space program no detail gets back and during some way i mean they felt like you know they were cooking in the kitchen i mean i suppose that there should be so you might want to sever about it i mean i don't i don't i can't pass judgment on what went on there how they had that problem but i can say this that pretty confident i'm totally confident in our leadership at nasa and i know that they work well with the russian leadership and i think they're not going to let a crew go into space if there are still questions so i'm confident that they know what they're doing and so you know rocket these a very reliable to have them both yeah transport and you know thing many people in russia space and he's if the police a little bit uneasy about the fact that. is already planning next crew into space in early decemb

we had nasa. we have private companies and, you know, we could all list them, that have come forward and said we want to be part of this. to me, what we have now is we have incredible cooperation, not incredible competition. i'm hoping that incredible cooperation is actually what moves us forward this time. >> you noted in your speech we might find life elsewhere in the universe in the next decade. do you think there is intelligent life beyond earth? >> yeah. i always disappoint people when i'm talking about life, i am talking about microbes. it's exciting for scientists, but is that exciting for people beyond the scientific community? it should be. we want to find out does life beyond earth, does it have rna, dna, cell structure like ours, and how can we use that information to understand life on earth. if i could get you excited about microbes, but most people want to know about intelligent life. when you look at the number of planets that are out there and one of the remarkable things the teles

remember if you're spacex nasa is also your biggest customer. >> now nasa has a competitor and a partner in its own backyard and it's been collaborative friction and i think the catalyst for new things. >> reporter: so not so much public versus private, more of a partnership with competitive aspirations. >> i think everyone at nasa knows that if they don't plan a mission to mars or build a huge space station, elon musk will. >> reporter: but while technology is moving ahead very quickly it does not mean it will necessarily meet our expectations. >> people imagined in the 1980s we'd be flying 100 space shuttles every year and have a moon base. >> reporter: the future is kind of hard to pin down like the people who drew up these scenes would have been blown away by these smartphones that broadcast today's landing. so the future of space exploration is not always the way we imagine it might be. in oakland, wilson walker, kpix5. >>> millions of americans letting their mobile device or mouse do the shopping today. >> yeah. cyber monday, the traditional follow-up to black friday blowing up old

victoria gill, bbc news at nasa's jet propulsion laboratory, california. dr rain irshad, a researcher at the science and technology facilities council, worked on the nasa mars insight mission, and explained what exactly the spacecraft was looking for. there are a vast range of questions about the universe, the one everyone wa nts to about the universe, the one everyone wants to know is is there life outside of the earth. and we suspect that the is not life on the surface of mars but we may find it allowed the surface. so mars at one stage had a magnetic field which would have been on earth the result of movement in the molten aahing over. that is one of the things that we wa nt to that is one of the things that we want to measure with the instruments we have. that magnetic field is what holds our atmosphere in place. so it allows the atmosphere to keep us warm and protects us from radiation from the sun and gives those lovely warm temperatures and liquid water. all the things needed for life to flourish. at some point mars lost its atmosphere, it lost the

nasa has not forgotten about the moon. >> it's beautiful, mike. it really is. >> reporter: 1969, nearly 50 years ago, we landed on the moon. 1972 we left and never went back. today nasa says that's going to change. >> we believe there is a lot of amazing science that we can do on the surface of the moon. >> reporter: nasa is announcing a partnership with nine private aerospace companies to develop small robotic landers. these companies would design and build small rovers that will explore the surface with modern technology, not even dreamed of decades ago. >> nasa has a great history of working with industry. >> reporter: dr. steven beckwith says the selected group is interesting because some are well known like lockheed martin. others we've never heard of like orbit beyond or moon express. each has already submitted proposals of rover prototypes. dr. beckwith believes this move is in our national interest. >> you can see that some of our national competitors, china, japan, india, they're all e eating their own industries are of great strategic im

nasa has planned for them all. the heat of the friction against the martian atmosphere, which is a lot thinner than earth's atmosphere. it will cause a lot of friction at that speed, 12,000 mph. there is this huge conical heat shield which point it's nose through the atmosphere and travels very quickly. every stage of separation from different stages as it passes through entry, descent and landing isa it passes through entry, descent and landing is a risk. something could go wrong mechanically. will the thrusters kicking to release lewitt down to five miles per hour? it needs to go from bullet speed to walking speed in order to land safely. even at that point, that pressure from the ground will send that first beacon home. that will be its first call home. even then, the nasa mission control team will not be celebrating, the chief scientist told us he won't be celebrating until he sees the battery on the lander has fully charged. that will mean the solar rays have unfurled, the spacecraft is intact on the grounds.

your leadership at nasa. we were all thankful to see nasa astronaut nick hage return to the earth safely along with russian cosmonaut alexi uchinin. we noted the failed rocket launch two weeks ago. i know you were in kazakhstan for that launch. we spoke contemporaneous with that and i appreciate the attention that you paid to our astronaut and to the entire incident. it does strike me, jim, as a wake-up call and the need for us to once again be able to launch american astronauts on american rockets from american soil, and i know that day is rapidly approaching. so, with that, we look forward to your update on nasa's work with the departments of commerce and state, transportation, and also the status of the international space station. join me in welcoming the administrator of nasa, jim bridenstine. would you, please? [ applause ] >> thank you. thank you so much, mr. vice president. it was a tough week last week when we had a failed rocket launch and as you correctly noted, nick hage and alei ochinin are home

and nasa is the only space agency to manage it. insight‘s mission is to help scientists understand how mars is constructed — from its core, to its crust. it'll dig deeper than ever before — burrowing 5m into the ground. there it will take temperature readings. it'll also try and measure so—called "marsquakes". and this is the technology that's being used. hi—tech seismometres are placed on the surface. the vibrations that are measured provide information about the rock layers below the surface — and what those rock layers are made up of. the solar panels — which are the parts that look like umbrellas — are vital as generate power for the lander as a whole. the third experiment will use radio transmissions to determine how much mars wobbles on its axis. and whether the planet's core is liquid, orsolid — and how big the core is. for all these reasons and many more — a lot is riding on this mission. many missions have tried to reach mars. this is an area of mars targeted by the missions. the last attempt was a join

a little earlier i spoke to victoria at nasa mission control in pasadena. i asked her why it was such a difficult landing for the probe. it is never easy to land on mars, as we keep hearing the scientists we have spoken to here in pasadena, but you honestly would not know this from how smoothly this mission has gone. but what they called the last stage of that six—month journey is seven minutes of terror, that spacecraft has to be at exactly the right angle to point its nose cone, to have the heat shield as it comes that the atmosphere, at walking speed, in order to touch down safely. and that is exactly what it did, just like the model behind me sitting perfectly on its feet in the sand. the real insight is sitting on the martian surface as we speak. and how different, victoria, is this mission to mars from the other ones? completely different actually, this is looking beyond the surface for the first time. so actually what this mission does, where the science starts is is a new era of interplanetary geology. we are looking deep inside mars for the first

on nasa programs. in your view how much -- how has that money been spent. it should've gone back to the taxpayers themselves. and then they would have more money. and someone would go to wall street and set up the stock exchange and set up a company and get some more money than what would otherwise be available. a lot of times people give the government credit. but with the money had been better spent instead of going to the moon and 69 on research and rocketry in the protection of people on these planets. just because the government did it and it was a success. they should not have afforded this. i did not applaud that. i was against that. because it was premature. the market not only has spatial allocation. from the cost of a more rational time element towards the goal. but haven't we learned. and been able to adapt from the spending at nasa. it would be amazing if you spent 19 billion and not one shred of that occurred. even the government. we do have roads. and museums. if they have a 19th billion

>> thanks, ama. >>> nasa calls landing on mars seven minutes of terror. but today, it was worth it. >> touch down confirmed! [ applause ] >> yeah, that's the team at jpl in pasadena erupting in cheers after the spacecraft gently touched down on a soft plain near the martian equator. >> seven minutes is how long it took it to plunge to the surface at speeds of more than 12 miles per hour. during that time, nasa had no control of the spacecraft. >> in the coming months and years even, this will be -- the history books will be rewritten about the interior of mars. i personally have to say, these first -- the first landing day, and these first couple of pictures of a play no human has ever seen before remind us in order to do science, we have to be bold and explorerers. >> indeed. insight sent back the first photo of the surface of mars. >> now the dusty, rusty looking image will become clearer once nasa removes the dust cover. it is just mind boggling. >> so many dark, deep secrets to be >>> tonight, several developing stories as we come on the air. the stor
