[applause] i want to take you on a tour of what the science discoveries from ours are, especially in the last 14 years of our program of exploration known as the Mars Exploration program which is implemented in our jet Propulsion Laboratory and i want to leave you with a thought that the science discoveries i hope to convince you are real and they come from a Large Community of scientists across universities, nasa centers and private industry. They are really the impetus for human exploration of this planet. Many of us have been working these missions. I hope i can give you that sense. Want to...

Hearing on efforts to improve education on science, technology, engineering and math. The Mars Exploration summit began with opening remarks from nasa administrator charles bolden, he spoke about the importance of humans becoming a multiplanet species and nasas goal of putting humans on mars in the next two decades.

So we had life support systems, if youre going to go to mars that have to work for months, possibly over a year, depending on how long it takes you to get there and how long you stay. We have to take the steps to get that in place. Its going to take some time to get a reliable system in place. We can land a metric ton on the surface of mars, thats all we know how to do. Thats about the size of a mini cooper car. If were going to explore mars, it needs to ...

I will not argue that point. There are a thousand different ways to do what we want to do. I was taught as a second lieutenant, make a decision because if you do not, the troops will not follow you anywhere and they will leave you at the starting line. We made a decision, some people in this room do not like it, but we are on our way and you can either go with us or figure out how to start all over again. Everybody knows what happens when you start all over again. We are farther down this road than we have been in a long, long, long time. If you do not want to admit that, i cannot help you. If...
