boosters ignition. and lift off of artemis one. we rise together, back to the moon and beyond. roaring off launch pad 49 be at the kennedy space center, the next chapter in americas love affair with all things space. and is on the core stage into solid rocket boosters now prevailing the vehicle at 128 miles per hour. nasa s artemis rocket, the most powerful ebel built headed for a multi day crew orbit around the moon. a test flight before astronauts climb into the orion spaceship and head for a lunar landing, perhaps within 2 to 5 years. flanked with two booster rockets, artemis looks like apollo on steroids. 15% more powerful than the monster center five rockets that carried apollo astronauts to the moon. there is a lot out there to explore, and this is the next beginning. and this is the artemis generation. artemis is all about asserting america s leadership of space, building a lunar base, and orbiting lunar space station. then, in the late 2030 s, a mission to m
Astronauts that will come via orion to gateway. of them can go down to the lunar surface. about a six and a half day for those first missions. two of them say i get way doing research and activities. and in the other two will come back nasa hopes to use gateway in the lunar base to go even deeper into space, with a crude mission to mars by the 2030. picking up where the, rovers sojourner s, opportunity curiosity and perseverance left off. looking for signs of ancient or even current life. that is decades. away orion is right on the money, coming right down the pipe. this is now. you are seeing yourself. right there in that image. nasa s orion uncrewed spacecraft, traveling 268,000 miles beyond earth. during his 25-day mission. it lunar flyover just 80 miles
it may be the clue of what we can do in the future to try to save life here on earth. nasa says it does not see any asteroid posing and immediate threat to earth. but in 2013, a massive media are escaped detection exploded over a remote russian village, injuring some 1500 people. impacts from asteroids have had a profound effect on life on earth. you can ask the dinosaurs about that. 66 million years ago, an asteroid nearly a mile wind made it through the atmosphere, striking mexico s peninsula. wiping out most of the dinosaurs, preventing a future meteor struck will require advanced notice unlocked. it is very reliable that nasa and other species can have decades of time. can t track these things reliably 400 plus years. with enough warnings, scientists hope that a dark
Little more cynical, i said wait a minute. you think that just because you transport humans from earth s surface, where we are killing each other, into space that all of a sudden we are going to behave completely differently? then you don t understand humans. by the way, i will believe it if you can demonstrate that you can do it on earth. and by the way, if you can do it in space, why not do it on earth. show me. if why should space be any different? by the way, earth is in space. last i checked. okay? so, i m sorry i am screaming at you here, but you are getting me riled. charlie bolden was a marine corps pilot, a general, and an astronaut before becoming the head of nasa under president obama. we can t have open warfare. we have got to discipline ourselves so that we don t make this potential war fighting domain a real war fighting domain. and a lot of the streams that
Interception between the military industrial complex and nasa and space engineers. right? there is a two way street between discoveries made in the military, that could benefit nasa and scientists, and discoveries made by scientists that could benefit the military. when you read the history of science and war, the relationship between physicists and warfare is well known. because they make, weapons they know how to make the weapons. especially in the nuclear era. they, argument that is, is if you are the u.s. you are the one who controls the rules. . yes if china controls space, and we need permission to get to the and pay the toll or whatever, it is not clear how much we would take credit for that. that is correct. we all want to be optimistic about space. captain s, lock start at seven to 09. you grew up watching star
