The challenge is, weve got houses in places we didnt used to have houses. And that puts people and h and property at risk. And so were having to fight fire in a different way than we did before. Looks like weve caught a dragon. It was moved into place. Then, just over a month later, we joined Robert Bigelow at Houston Mission control to see it inflate, the last critical step. And the i. S. S. Crew is ready for inflation. If it worked, it would make history the first expandable structure for humans in space. So what is it like for you this moment watching this happen . Severe curiosity as to whats going to happen next. Jeff, were ready for 15 seconds. Copy, onefive seconds. Im steve kroft. Im lesley stahl. Im bill whitaker. Im lara logan. Im sharyn alfonsi.

Need to get this. Again, if we talk about it with the breakthroughs. What we know now today, just expand it. We have life support on the station. We need to push it to where its reliable and doesnt require so much maintenance. We need to look at the parks to do repair. We are doing that on board. I dont consider those big breakthroughs. I have to get comfortable. Its the maturity level that we use for the nation they positively have to work. Thats the way i look at the challenges. The operation and the proving ground that charlie and bill had mentioned. We have to take systems and days and months and weeks. We need the time and the capability to do that. We will talk about this. I was going to add that i think we can make sure that every piece of technology we work on, its extensible to mars. Thats the judge of the technology that we are working on. Can we use it in that vision. I dont want to do demonstrations just for demonstrationss sake, but be putting systems that we can use for m
Hearing on efforts to improve education on science, technology, engineering and math. The Mars Exploration summit began with opening remarks from nasa administrator charles bolden, he spoke about the importance of humans becoming a multiplanet species and nasas goal of putting humans on mars in the next two decades. This is 30 minutes. Thank you very much, and thanks to all of you for allowing me to be with you this morning and it kind of kick us off, i hope. I also want to thank explore mars as well as g. W. President steve knapp and scott pace of the g. W. Policy institute for bringing us together for the humans to mars summit.

With mars making its closest approach to effort last week and currently appearing as the brightest body in the eastern sky during the month of april, this is an ideal time for this conference, as the red planet draws nearer to earthsort o
Budgets that we spent to become great in the world. Theres no reason i can see why we should not redress that grievance, although obviously its an uphill battle. No, i dont why not go for the big money . Well, were going for the biggest money we think we can logically go for right now. But i just think its unrealistic to assume that this congress and any future congress is going to jump to 4 of gdp. I just dont think 1 . We may get to 1 . Now 1 is 1 would be like a gold mine. Indeed. And im not saying im just i said a modest increase, but we have to be able to demonstrate that we can do what we said we can do. Commercial cargo was a first step. People said it couldnt be done, we have done that. We have got to get a commercial crew and we have got to demonstrate that can do it consistently. Step by step, otherwise people are just not going to support us. Thank you all very much. I really appreciate it. Thank you. More now from the Mars Exploration summit with sr. Officials talking about
