many of them lost their lives working on the weapon serial production the museum also conveys the idea that the v 2 should not only be seen as a destructive weapon that killed thousands its launch was also a watershed moment for the evolution of modern space technology. it was the 1st manmade object to. each space was in that. 942 was an historic day october 3rd is now reunification day in germany but this was in 1942 when the rocket took off and reached a peak altitude of 84.5 kilometers. back then the 50 mile mark was set as the boundary of space that's roughly 80 kilometers so the gateway to space was really pushed open here which of course on which side of history would you place the v. 2. really that's really a tough question it's a balancing act we try to perform here in the museum too it was the mother of all
measure the elevation at each location. we'll go to the reservoir to measure and set the water's peak altitude. and then we will go down each channel the first second third fourth down to the last and measure it slow. him down you. will do the reservoir first and move on from there ok let's go. they have to determine the total amount of water available to irrigate the villages fields this information is crucial for determining the size and volume of the irrigation system. through the largest corporate that's used just as a small reservoir right. it's full in the morning and then you let the water out. we will measure the floor in a minute. but first let's go and measure the big reservoir. the
them we will be able to grow a lot of vegetables and the villages will reap the profits. there are additional fields behind the village down below in the valley. we started to plant fruit trees in summer like cherry which needs a very little water which needs only a little more. it is are we even planted trees that do not need to be watered such as cairo. when officiates project is to install a drip system to allow dried out passages in the valley to be reclaimed for fritz and vegetables. he can count on help from his friend silvana a french agricultural engineer. it's called the so as you see we follow the main irrigation canals on the map since we have to measure the elevation at each location. go to the reservoir to measure and set the water's peak altitude. and then we will go down the channel the first second third

away from reaching peak altitude. >> then it returned at speeds of up to 2020,000 miles per hour. with standing 4,000 degree heat. before flashing down in the pacific ocean. >> it was picture perfect. >> the trip lasted 4 1/2 hours, but nasa hopes that future versions of orion will take the longer journey with astronauts all the wa i to mars. >> when the american people get behind something and the international community gets behind it, we can do anything we want to do. >> charles served as nasa for two decades, leading the agency since 2009. >> usually launches are emotional. anybody who knows what's going on and doesn't tear up is probably just pretty hard.

to space in this new orion capsule, they were going to a peak altitude of about 5,800 kilometers. 15 times higher than the international space station is currently. you're looking there at a lye look, they have helicopters that will be perusing the ocean. the navy will be involved in this recovery operation. they'll keep an eye out to see where the splashdown occurs. they will then go and grab on to this. it's a recovery mission, essentially, on that water landing. they will find the capsule, they'll tow it and it will be boarded on to a navy transport ship. it will head to san diego and we're told it will take a truck ride, essentially, back to florida. but talking about the operation in outer space. this is sort of one of those far reaching kind of ideas. they're testing it here because the goal is to eventually do this human flight, first crude flight perhaps to orbit the moon
