Dont have the right rockets anymore. rockets for a manned moon mission have to be extremely powerful within eight minutes they have to be able to hurl many tons up into space and accelerate them up to forty thousand kilometers per hour eleven times faster than a bullet moves through the air. thats only possible with extremely powerful thrusters. the saturn five rocket was able to do the job even today the apollo booster engines remain the strongest rockets ever made but no one would build them t...

Weight as a real nuclear bomb. to do that, the north koreans appear to have added more engines from the single engine they used in july. >> now you have two which provides double the thrust, which means this missile can carry a much larger payload to a longer distance. in other words, it can threaten the entire united states with a nuclear warhead. >> reporter: in just under five months since the last test, this north korean rocket has better guidance and accuracy. each engine on this rocket has...

The bow of the ship, and i knew something was wrong. >> thats when i was panicked and i was worried the house was going to get hit. >> reporter: here you can see the ship throwing its thrusters into reverse roughly 100 feet away. this isnt the first cruise ship close encounter. last summer, rough water caused another celebrity cruise ship to slam into this dock in alaska. in this incident, the pilots association says the ship was directed to this route because of strong winds, but the pilot was ...

Exclusive first-ever look at the gps-3 in production, a classified and clean environment, in which one stray hair, a bit of dust, could do significant damage. >> you need to replenish the constellation. >> colonel steven whitney tells us that these new satellites have new special capabilities. >> were improving the accuracy, were improving the integrity of the signal. >> meaning the gps satellites will be harder for enemies to jam. other news satellites have shutters to block lasers and thruster...

Get on your iphones that you were just looking at a moment ago there, george. but its going to improve the forecast of tornados, flash floods, violent storms. and this launch of this satellite is going to help do that and its going to accuracy those lead times for meteorologists. so this is creditical informati. i want to pass it on to you. we have a behind the scenes look that were going to show you at home, some of the viewers. it called the gosar satellite. 24 is in conjunction with nasa &. t...

Questions trying to, everyones trying to figure out right now? >> actually there will be a lot more questions than meets the eye because there have been many accidents like this in the past and as miles said, the previous accidents are why we have the arrester beds. good to think of them as boxes of concrete with sand inside. theyll look at the spoiler systems and the auto braking on the plane. this is a 737 700. they are pretty new the first ones flew in 19 the 8, see if the toe brakes and thru...

Moment as the fuses are burning back from the cab of the truck into the rear. mcveighs kind of tapping his fingers at a red light counting down the last two minutes. >> he has the windows rolled down just as he approached the light because he didnt anticipate smoke would fill the cab. >> people are going to be suspicious. so while accelerating i had to roll the window down and load the thrusters. i had to jump out the minute i pulled up because it would look funny. i didnt want to do it after i ...

Now, after the first stage rocket breaks away from the dragon cargo ship and it continues on to the space station, thats when the falcon 9 will plummet 150 miles back to earth, use its thrusters and fins to make an upright controlled slow landing. the point here is reuse ability, treat rockets like we could do passenger planes instead of throwing around $250 million into the ocean floor every single time. compounding the complexity this rocket aims to land on this football size landing ship floa...

Board and you remember the passengers evacuating on to the wing. and then a crash in sao paulo, brazil. one of the thrusters were detact vated before the flight -- eactivated and so it crashed into a concrete building and caught on fire. here you see the ammage of the after math. all 187 people on the plane were killed and people on the ground. and a crash during an airshow. it failed to gain height and crashed into the trees while performing a maneuver in haversham, france. and there were 133...
