through private-public partnership. is that the future of everything we do in space? >> i believe so, todd. i believe we're coming to the point where it is commercial viable for companies to get into the space business and frankly every dollar, private industry invest in space exploration, it is a dollar less you and i as a taxpayer has to pay so nasa does the job. i'm ecstatic about this public-private partnership ability to explore space, lunar surface and go to mars and beyond. >> todd: touch on the beyond. what are you watching for? what should american people be watching for that will come next when it comes to space? >> i think we have to work on advance propulsion systems that
allow us to do and a suggestion that if we want to develop the moon as an outpost or a bit of a gateway to deep space, this could be a really valuable stepping stone on the way to doing that. and that is why this is so exciting, right? using the moon as our next pad to look elsewhere. yeah, absolutely. i mean, this is lunar economy. this is lunar space. so it is the ecosystem between the earth and the moon. so we now have another transportation towards the moon other than the sls who are currently already providing sort of heavy lifting rough kit capability for the heavy missions that we need to take to the moon and beyond, in our solar system, so on to mars and beyond. —— heavy lifting rocket capability. so the moon really marks the next step in our space exploration. this is a robotic mission, but in the future we know with the artemis 2 missions and subsequent artemis missions with nasa, we will start to have humans landing on the surface of
India's first mission to the International Space Station, in collaboration with the US, was among the highlights of the agreements between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden at the White House on Thursday.

earlier i spoke to british astronaut, sir tim peake, and asked him how important these test flights are. the starship launch is incredibly important — the starship launch is incredibly important for future space exploration because it's going to be what provides the human mind system there is— what provides the human mind system there is going to take the astronauts that arrive in lunar orbit— astronauts that arrive in lunar orbit on— astronauts that arrive in lunar orbit on the orion capsule launched by an— orbit on the orion capsule launched by an sls _ orbit on the orion capsule launched by an sls rocket but it's the starship— by an sls rocket but it's the starship that will transport those astronauts from orion down to the surface _ astronauts from orion down to the surface of— astronauts from orion down to the surface of the moon. without starship— surface of the moon. without starship we cannot go to the surface of the _ starship we cannot go to the surface of the moon— starship we cannot go to the surface of the moon and of the canon programme. what's even more exciting for the _ programme. what's even more exciting for the long _ programme. what's even more exciting for the long term is that starship is also _ for the long term is that starship is also a — for the long term is that starship is also a rocket that is capable of doing _ is also a rocket that is capable of doing a _ is also a rocket that is capable of doing a mass transit so this could be doing a mass transit so this could he the _ doing a mass transit so this could be the rocket that really forges this new — be the rocket that really forges this new era of space exploration far ahead — this new era of space exploration far ahead into this new era of space exploration farahead into our this new era of space exploration far ahead into our solar system and takes _ far ahead into our solar system and takes humans to mars.— takes humans to mars. ma'or tim peake making * takes humans to mars. ma'or tim peake making it h takes humans to mars. ma'or tim peake making it clear_ takes humans to mars. ma'or tim peake making it clear why _ takes humans to mars. major tim peake making it clear why it's - takes humans to mars. major tim peake making it clear why it's sol peake making it clear why it's so
until we hearfrom him, we will be here. elon musk�*s company exploded on thursday during the first test flights, designed to take astronauts to the moon, mars and beyond. after the test flight, we had elon musk sending his congratulations to the team. he wrote, congratulations, spacex team. we learned a lot for the next test launch. he sent various photographs of the launch rockets in various states of departure. it did explode at one point, but the crew, who were on the ground monitoring, celebrated and clapped as it was considered a success. let's have a look at the moment again. there it is. you can
have rotated and should have had separation. this is not a nominal situation. >> i do want to remind everyone, everything after clearing the tower was icing on the cake. >> neil: all right. icing on the cake. mission control putting a positive spin on spacex's giant new star ship rocket blowing up shortly after lift off. luckily nobody was on board when the booster rocket failed to peel away, tumbled and exploded four minutes in. such are the risks if you think about it when planning manned missions to the moon and mars and beyond. we got you covered all over the place with jonathan serrie on what went wrong. ashley webster on more americans flogging to see the launches. tom jones on the rewards that outway the risks. and actor william shatner that took that risk and is here to tell us about it. it's straight ahead on a
challenges. what are they? "60 minutes," tonight. tomorrow we could see the start of a new era in space exploration. spacex says all systems are go for its launch of the most powerful rocket ever into orbit. the uncrewed starship is huge, nearly 400 feet tall and 30 feet wide. the company has spent years conducting test flights, including some dramatic explosions you see there, the faa signed off on a launch license on friday, saying all safety requirements had been met. the rocket is designed to eventually carry tourists to the moon, mars and beyond. wow, that's incredible. ahead on the "cbs weekend news," it's not a rocket, but this american legend is built for speed and we'll take a spin next. and jelly beans. the number one brand for hair, skin and nails.
like it said user to cheat on exams and stuff. i've gotten typos joe biden i would still donald trump's voice. [laughter] maybe then you are in i love trump you know that on a serious note it is scary. i've got kids who are in school and of course i've got a wife who i worry about every day. so you are right that government is to get involved every year end regulate this. states have the highest institutions are working on things that are mostly just to these headlines mit's work on something stern important look at some these headlines, mit is working on mit researchers twisted apart hundreds of orders to find out you can rip them open evenly the best way to split an oreo mit scientist open a thousand oreo's this is our finest generation this is to get us to mars and beyond. >> own analysis any cost? >> guess what, jackie they did they open up 1000 oreos here is you say chips ahoy.
