Occured earlier this morning. We might have some fog coming into siouxland tonight. But what else can we expect going into the weekend . For that, lets toss it over to chief meteorologis t ron demers weather adlib the peeks of sun were nice to see but for most of us they didnt last long. Clouds will continue to dominate our weather through the weekend and we could see areas of fog tonight and into saturday morning as well. The cooler temperatures we saw friday will warm pretty nicely aa well have a chance of getting into the 30s South Sioux City honored its Longest Serving Police chief this afternoon.

And the last draft to show you that the projects for Sea Level Rise in the scientific reports are low this the preservation for Sea Level Rise for 1990 what can happen by now ive cut it off at the year 2014 and we redid the projects from the i pcc from the paper on sea level rice rise in 2012 they did the projects again he is green lines are narrower and higher as they keep doing it we can look at how inadequate accurate where they those are the best Scientific Data the redlining is a smooth out trend like that you can see at the top or even above some of the projects so just in the last decade or two the best sequence of science has if anything been low in terms of what can happen that sea level thats the proof the scientists are not intaekt many people say they are their cache but to plan to earthquake or fire safety we go overboard to say what could happen here were going to do the opposite were not counting the worse case because we dont know. To close the Insurance Industry look a
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. Lets leave that slide up, ill talk about it all day long, and at least you can refer to it and you dont have to look at me. 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
One way to look at it, apollo 13 with the event that it had. I believe that was around 84 hours. We had to keep the crew alive for 84 hours. So we had life support systems, if youre going to go to mars that have to work for months, possibly over a year, depending on how long it takes you to get there and how long you stay. We have to take the steps to get that in place. Its going to take some time to get a reliable system in place. We can land a metric ton on the surface of mars, thats all we know how to do. Thats about the size of a mini cooper car. If were going to explore mars, it needs to be something bigger than that. There are challenges that we have, we know what the challenges are, but it will take some time to get those technologies ready. Have you counted up how many breakthroughs you think you need to get there . We ought to talk about it a little bit. Im not sure theyre breakthroughs in a sense. If we can build on what we know now today, and just expangd it. For example lif
