the upcoming flight saying she always


00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:09.469
believed such an achievement was


00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:11.750
possible as nothing was beyond Her


00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:14.869
Imagination as a child this Mission not


00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:16.830
only represents a significant milestone


00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.229
for women in space but also continues


00:02:19.239 --> 00:02:20.949
the growing trend of commercial space


00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:23.430
flight making space more accessible to a


00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:24.910
broader range of


00:02:24.920 --> 00:02:27.070
people let's go to some news about


00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.949
NASA's emis program a significant


00:02:29.959 --> 00:02:31.790
Congressional hearing has shed new light


00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.070
on the challenges facing NASA's Artemis


00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.430
program with experts raising serious


00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:37.990
concerns about the timeline for


00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.470
returning humans to the moon the house


00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:42.390
committee on science space and


00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.470
Technologies space and Aeronautics


00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:47.110
subcommittee met as intuitive machines


00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.910
im2 lunar lander awaited its launch


00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:51.670
setting a crucial backdrop for


00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.550
discussions about America's lunar


00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.390
Ambitions space policy experts emphasize


00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.110
that the United States is in a genuine


00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.190
race with China to establish a presence


00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:02.509
on the moon with China planning its own


00:03:02.519 --> 00:03:04.910
crude lunar Landing before 2030 the


00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:06.830
pressure is mounting on NASA to maintain


00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.229
its leadership in space exploration the


00:03:09.239 --> 00:03:11.149
experts stressed that this isn't just


00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.270
about national pride it's a critical


00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.630
matter of National Security and economic


00:03:15.640 --> 00:03:17.550
importance one of the most pressing


00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:19.830
issues discussed was the role of NASA's


00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.149
space launch system or SLS in the


00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.390
Artemis program while there's agreement


00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.030
that the SLS remains crucial experts are


00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:29.070
divided on how heavily NASA should rely


00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.429
on it some suggest that spacex's


00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.270
Starship despite its promising potential


00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.070
might face significant challenges in


00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.110
meeting the 2030 timeline for human


00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.589
lunar missions perhaps most concerning


00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.550
are the internal challenges at Nasa


00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.190
itself reports of Workforce uncertainty


00:03:45.200 --> 00:03:47.270
and morale issues have emerged with


00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.149
employees expressing fears about job


00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.630
security and career prospects this


00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:53.589
instability comes at a particularly


00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:55.869
critical time when the agency needs to


00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.309
be operating at Peak efficiency to


00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.429
compete with China's rapidly advancing


00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.869
Space Program the experts emphasized


00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:04.910
that for us leadership in space to


00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:07.390
remain effective these missions can't be


00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.630
oneoff achievements they need to


00:04:09.640 --> 00:04:12.069
establish a sustainable continuous


00:04:12.079 --> 00:04:14.069
presence on the moon that's viable


00:04:14.079 --> 00:04:17.349
technically economically and politically


00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:18.909
this presence would serve as a crucial


00:04:18.919 --> 00:04:21.150
stepping stone for future Mars missions


00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.030
while securing America's position as the


00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.469
leading space fairing Nation what's


00:04:25.479 --> 00:04:27.670
particularly telling is that NASA chose


00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.390
not to provide a witness or testimony


00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:31.150
for this this hearing despite being


00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.790
invited to do so this absence raises


00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:35.590
questions about the agency's Readiness


00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.909
to address these challenges headon and


00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:39.670
adapt its approach to meet the evolving


00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.749
demands of space exploration in an


00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.150
increasingly competitive International


00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.350
environment while on the subject of NASA


00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:48.830
and the moon let's go to some more


00:04:48.840 --> 00:04:51.909
positive news in a major development for


00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:54.270

engine of Gateway providing both the


00:05:25.479 --> 00:05:27.830
electricity to keep the station running


00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:29.749
and the propulsion needed to maintain it


00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.510
orbital path around the moon when


00:05:32.520 --> 00:05:35.029
Artemis 4 astronauts arrive at Gateway


00:05:35.039 --> 00:05:36.670
they'll be the first humans to call this


00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.270
revolutionary space station home the


00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:41.629

00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.110
to study how micro algae might serve as


00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.670
a future food source in space and tools


00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:08.990
to investigate the impact of


00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.149
microorganisms on various surfaces


00:08:11.159 --> 00:08:13.390
within the space station there's also


00:08:13.400 --> 00:08:14.790
equipment for creating Advanced


00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.830
semiconductor crystals and biomedical


00:08:16.840 --> 00:08:19.350
tools to study how microgravity affects


00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.029
blood circulation and


00:08:21.039 --> 00:08:23.510
Immunity the progress spacecraft isn't


00:08:23.520 --> 00:08:25.909
just dropping off supplies it's bringing


00:08:25.919 --> 00:08:27.670
vital resources to keep the station


00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.350
running smoothly this includes nearly


00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:34.230
2,100 lb of fuel over 900 lb of drinking


00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.469
water and 110 lb of nitrogen to maintain


00:08:37.479 --> 00:08:39.430
the station's atmosphere after


00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.310
completing its six-month Mission the


00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:43.269
spacecraft will be packed with waste and


00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:44.870
debris before making a controlled


00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:47.389
re-entry into Earth's atmosphere this


00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:49.470
Mission represents the 91st Russian


00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.230
resupply mission to the International


00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.269
Space Station since 1998 continuing a


00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:56.430
remarkable Legacy of space cooperation


00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.509
that spans decades the tribute to BV


00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:01.630
serves as a poignant reminder of how far


00:09:01.640 --> 00:09:03.470
space exploration has come since those


00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:05.509
first pioneering days of space walks and


00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:06.990
orbital


00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.710
achievements next up some Hubble news in


00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.670
a groundbreaking study NASA's Hubble


00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:13.910
Space Telescope has unveiled fascinating


00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:16.150
new details about our Galactic neighbor


00:09:16.160 --> 00:09:19.230
the Andromeda galaxy located 2.5 million


00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:21.269
light years away Andromeda appears to


00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:23.430
most of us as just a faint fuzzy patch


00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.949
in the night sky but Hubble's detailed


00:09:25.959 --> 00:09:27.949
observations have revealed something far


00:09:27.959 --> 00:09:30.470
more intriguing a complex system of


00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:32.470
nearly three dozen smaller satellite


00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:34.829
galaxies orbiting around it much like


00:09:34.839 --> 00:09:37.710
bees around a hive this ambitious


00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.430
project utilizing more than 1,000 Hubble


00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.230
orbits has mapped these dwarf galaxies


00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.710
in unprecedented 3D detail what's


00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:48.230
particularly interesting is how


00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:49.829
different this system is from our own


00:09:49.839 --> 00:09:52.590
milky Way's satellite family while our


00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.470
galaxy has had a relatively peaceful


00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.790
history andromeda's past appears to have


00:09:56.800 --> 00:09:58.949
been much more dramatic likely involving


00:09:58.959 --> 00:10:00.910
a major collision with another large


00:10:00.920 --> 00:10:04.350
Galaxy billions of years ago half of


00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:05.990
andromeda's satellite galaxies are


00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.710
arranged in an unusual way all orbiting


00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.630
in the same direction along a single


00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:13.310
plane this unexpected configuration has


00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.710
left astronomers puzzled as it doesn't


00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:17.350
match our current understanding of how


00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.389
Galaxy systems typically behave even


00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:22.230
more intriguing is the discovery that


00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.630
some of these dwarf Galaxies have


00:10:24.640 --> 00:10:26.670
maintained slow but steady star


00:10:26.680 --> 00:10:29.350
formation far longer than expected


00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.190
defying current computer simulations one


00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.030
of the most fascinating satellites is


00:10:34.040 --> 00:10:36.870
Messier 32 which might actually be the


00:10:36.880 --> 00:10:38.990
remaining core of a larger Galaxy that


00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.389
collided with Andromeda this Cosmic


00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.509
crash could help explain why andromeda's


00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.389
family of satellite galaxies is so


00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.590
diverse and numerous especially given


00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:49.190
that it's about twice as massive as our


00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.829
Milky Way the research team is now


00:10:51.839 --> 00:10:54.069
planning follow-up observations using


00:10:54.079 --> 00:10:56.629
both Hubble and the James web Space


00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.670
Telescope in about 5 years they be able


00:10:59.680 --> 00:11:02.470
to track the motion of all 36 dwarf


00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.069
galaxies allowing them to reconstruct


00:11:05.079 --> 00:11:06.990
the entire history of this complex


00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.509
Galactic ecosystem this work isn't just


00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:11.389
about understanding Andromeda it's


00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:12.949
helping us piece together the broader


00:11:12.959 --> 00:11:14.509
story of how galaxies Across the


00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:16.629
Universe grow and


00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.509
evolve finally today a little update to


00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.350
a story we've been following this week


00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:23.350
SpaceX has announced a slight delay in


00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:25.069
their ambitious testing schedule for the


00:11:25.079 --> 00:11:27.389
Starship Mega rocket pushing the eighth


00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.509
test flight back to Monday March 3rd the


00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:32.870
launch window is set to open at 6:30


00:11:32.880 --> 00:11:34.910
p.m. eastern time from their Starbase


00:11:34.920 --> 00:11:37.590
facility in south Texas while SpaceX


00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.389
hasn't provided specific reasons for the


00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.590
delay this kind of schedule adjustment


00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.310
is quite common in the space industry


00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:45.509
where safety and optimal conditions are


00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.790
Paramount this upcoming flight Builds on


00:11:47.800 --> 00:11:50.030
the partial success of flight 7 which


00:11:50.040 --> 00:11:52.230
took place in January during that


00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.430
mission SpaceX achieved a significant


00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.350
Milestone by successfully catching the


00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.230
super heavy booster with the launch


00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.350
Tower's mechanical arm arms a feat


00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.990
they've dubbed the Chopstick catch


00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.030
however the upper stage of the vehicle


00:12:05.040 --> 00:12:07.470
known as ship encountered difficulties


00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.230
when a propellant leak led to its


00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:12.230
premature end over the Atlantic Ocean


00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:14.670
for flight 8 Space X is maintaining


00:12:14.680 --> 00:12:16.470
similar objectives while refining their


00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.430
approach they're once again attempting


00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.629
to catch the super heavy booster which


00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:22.189
would mark their third successful


00:12:22.199 --> 00:12:24.350
capture if all goes according to plan


00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.150
the upper stage will carry four test


00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:28.590
versions of starlink satellites fewer


00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:30.590
than the 10 carried on the previous


00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:32.670
flight suggesting a more focused


00:12:32.680 --> 00:12:35.470
approach to this aspect of testing the


00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.550
mission profile calls for ship to follow


00:12:37.560 --> 00:12:39.910
a suborbital trajectory before


00:12:39.920 --> 00:12:41.750
attempting a controlled splash down near


00:12:41.760 --> 00:12:42.750
Western


00:12:42.760 --> 00:12:45.310
Australia while spacex's ultimate goal


00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:46.949
includes catching both stages of the


00:12:46.959 --> 00:12:48.790
rocket they're taking a measured


00:12:48.800 --> 00:12:50.910
approach and aren't yet ready to attempt


00:12:50.920 --> 00:12:53.389
catching the upper stage this methodical


00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.350
testing strategy reflects the company's


00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:57.350
commitment to Progressive development


00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.670
while managing the risks inherent in


00:12:59.680 --> 00:13:01.189
pushing the boundaries of Rocket


00:13:01.199 --> 00:13:03.550
technology remember Starship isn't just


00:13:03.560 --> 00:13:05.910
any rocket it's the largest and most


00:13:05.920 --> 00:13:07.949
powerful launch vehicle ever built


00:13:07.959 --> 00:13:09.670
representing a crucial step toward


00:13:09.680 --> 00:13:12.350
spacex's ambitious goals of sustainable


00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:14.509
space travel and eventual Mars


00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:16.590
colonization each test flight brings us


00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.430
closer to regular operational missions


00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:20.949
