multiple objects following the same trajectory. very bright where we were. it s roughly a bit to the north. i m just wondering, we didn t think it was a likely collision course. multiple pilots reported these lights, but as an astronomer chimed in on the sighting they suggested it could likely be a piece of dust entering the earth atmosphere at a very high speed. remember a busy time for shooting stars, pilots and members of the military have reported citing similar objects in the past but attributed to simple space dust. tucker: what is interesting about this is, these are commercial airline pilots who by definition are experts at identifying other aircraft, and lights at night, behavior and
with kim jong-un, you said north korea could have an icbm capable of hitting the united states by 2017. the north korea conducted three missile tests since you gave that estimate. one of them of course the one that could be 100 times stronger than hiroshima. are we looking at sooner than that? we have to presume that north korea is making greater progress than estimated. the one remaining element to delivering an effective weapon against the united states that we don t know whether they ve mastered is reentry. when you shoot a missile far up into space and it reenters earth atmosphere, that subjects the warhead to tremendous heat and pressure. we don t believe that the north koreans have mastered that yet. i haven t gotten any briefings on it yet. but from what we have heard here in the senate, that s the one
we also know that important all the hectoring, teachers union was subjected to about hurting students contract they secured over striking nearly includes 600 new art, music and gym teachers and guarantee of textbooks on the first day of class and a million and a half dollars for special education teachers. we now know the name of the first village on planet earth to be entirely relocated because of climate change. we know the residents on the second largest island in fiji are in the midst of relocate to higher ground because of increasing flooding made their previous home uninhabitable. such locations will be more common as we enter a new warmer period in earth atmosphere. we know the ceo of exxonmobil accept it is consensus carbon emissions are warming the earth and as this message for the world s farmers. we spent our entire existence adapting. okay. so we will adapt to this.
orbitors that we eventually fly to space and land at edwards air force base and the kenny space center. the approach and landing tests were important to check out the control built and the ability to fly this ship back to the ground like a glider, albeit a pretty lousy glider, it glide like a brick. jon: it doesn t have a lot of wing-surface area does it? no. jon: it s a combination of spacecraft and earth atmosphere flying machine and as you say it does glide, but pretty steep approach angles in that thing, huh? right, yeah standard airliners about 3 degrees on final, we come down at about 20 degrees at 300 knots when you land a space shuttle. it s an amazing, amazing vehicle. jon: what is going through your mind now, well as the shuttle program has ended, and as these shuttles that have served so long and so well are being distributed to sr-r various places around the country?
