To feed astronauts in space scientists have successfully harvested vegetables and herbs in a pioneering project in antarctica the german led knowing my research station was used to simulate the harsh conditions on distant planets this is what the 1st green house on the moon might look like it could soon be providing 6 astronauts with a steady supply of fresh vegetables engineers have been using a similar high tech container in the antarctic to test whether or not the idea could really work. when we don't use soil the roots are suspended in the air in a plastic box and sprayed with nutrients an...

Capsule that we've never seen before the mission has been likened to an archaeological dig in space scientists hope to detect the chemical composition and to rain to learn the ancient building blocks of the planet's. we have a series of science objectives one of the prime on the geology of. the whatever craters it might have on its surface whatever fractures other topography anything that will give us clues of through how it how it surfaces form. the new horizons probe launched some thirteen years ago on a mission to study pluto and its moons in two thousand and fifteen it past the door of pla...

The second extraordinary strand is the extent of interdisciplinary experts. you have experts that are space scientists and physicists looking at the satellite data and the transmissions between the satellite and plane. my colleagues and i wrote a story that explain in arcane way they looked at the temperature of the satellite and the temperature of the satellite communication systems on the aircraft and they were able to use these temperature variations to determine slight fluctuations in the frequency of the communications in the radio waves. this is one more element to try to get closer to w...

We've got $16 trillion dollar national debt, so i don't know quite what they're going to do. i think these astronauts and other space scientists have spoken out, and they hope they continue to be very active and vocal voices in the debate. >> it's quite controversial. thanks so much for coming in. >> good to see you. >> thank you. president obama's support of same sex marriage, reflecting his self described evolution, but does it also signal a significant shift in political strategy for the president? will this controversial debate change the race for the white house? our political panel, fa...
