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
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
For organics for the first time directly in the context of the samples. Exo mar sincere a key step beyond everything i showed you. The discovery potential of exo mars in 18, the mission with russia and other partners is critical as will be the mars 20 rover. Its valid. Were not done. Robotic programs have to keep going beyond maven and insight, heat flow background on mars. Theres the Exo Mars Mission on 16. Theres our mars 20 rover and then theres the 20s open to all the young stem people here. Excellent point. Were thrilled to have the partnership we have with this next generation. Subsurface. So we want to go, you know im not six feet. Bernards mission and isas mission will get us there. Folks, science lives. Thank you. Up next, a discussion on how science, technology and math is important to the Space Program. This is also a discussion on mars exploration. Its an hour. The key note and first panel this morning was enlightening to me. Were going to leverage and continue with that di
Dayton and jeff johnson and hannah nicollet. Thursday night at 8 00 p. M. On cspan, live coverage of the oklahoma governors debate between joe dorman and mary fallin.

Cspan campaign 2014, more than 100 debates for the control of congress. Now we go back to the George Washington university forrum on Mars Exploration. This portion includes nasa chief scientist jame garvin. He spoke about the Robotic Missions taking place on mars and what theyve revealed about the planet. This is 35 minutes. [ applause ]. Thanks. Thank you very much. Can everyone hear me . Thank you very much. I want to take you on a tour really kind of like the ice lan dick sagas of what the science discoveries from mars especially in the last 14 years of our program of exploration known as the Mars Exploration program which is implemented at our jet Propulsion Lab has given us. I would li
