now parliament as in session but there s no end in sight to stay late in practice politics over breakfast that s devastating for the products that are some of the other stories making news around the world. a strong earthquake has struck the most islands of eastern indonesia killing at least one person and causing structural damage 6.5 magnitude tremor was centered northeast of the provincial capital am on authorities have not issued a tsunami warning for the region. the families of 43 mexican students who vanished 5 years ago have marched through the country s capital remains unclear what happened to the students who went missing after a confrontation with police officers investigators are still looking for them in the international report found the initial mexican inquiry was flawed. a soyuz rocket has docked with the international space station after blasting off
17th at 2120 sharp the soyuz rocket lifts off the ground. and in. its 1000 tons of fuel generating 20000000 horsepower the thrust in the 8 minutes ascent phase is enormous. tension is high for the 1st 10 minutes after the launch this is the most dangerous time. the earth quickly begins to look like a sphere as the various stages of the launch of bring the capsule up to its orbital speed 28000 kilometers per hour. days huddled together in the so you are nightmare for anyone who is claustrophobic you re sitting in a kind of cannonball that catapulted 400 kilometers into orbit around the earth.
work. that situation fit to what m.r. is it is about 227000000 kilometers from the sun you whereas the earth is 150000000 . orbit the sun so the path to mars isn t a straight line but a curve and i can orbit. mars is hundreds of millions of kilometers away 200 times as far as the moon these are completely different dimensions sit at. the most optimistic forecast estimates the voyage to mars and back would take about $640.00 days 6 months with the outbound flights a month on site and 15 months time. to travel to mars we need of course a rocket or conventional chemical propulsion engines are pretty advanced the fuel is burned with oxygen to give maximum thrust this will enable us to fly to mars in
a lot of power. and that s the thing that s where the nuclear electric propulsion comes into play. chante is calculations involved capturing a small nuclear reactor to plasma engine to generate the necessary electrical power . my interest. was stored developing a rocket which had all the nice features of the electric blast my rockets. the low power rockets but they had a lot a lot of power and essentially building the equivalent of the diesel engine of space something that will allow you to really move heavy massive pieces of equipment from point a to point b. . jan diaz says the reactor which generate the electrical energy needed for the past my engine this would offer the autonomy that no chemical drive would guarantee
are his last moments on earth moments during which anticipation turns into intense concentration. he joins russian cosmonaut all acknowledge skiing and american peggy whitson as they set up for the international space station i guess. he is the only newcomer on expedition $5051.00. small part of a book. maximum concentration you re taking off on a rocket it wasn t quite clear to me what that meant but just your tethered to a ballistic missile in the so use your fasten down everywhere only your arms can interact with the control panel otherwise you feel really tied up in the rocket is vibrating and belching smoke billowing from a. on november
