Sub-Orbital Space Flights & Satellite Exploration
In the final part of Dr. Garvin’s lecture he continues discussion for the future of exploring Mars with the upcoming Mars Science Lab/Curiosity Rover, the concepts for a future Mars sample-return mission, and his dreams of one day sending humans to Mars. (Show Description) Chief Scientist of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Dr. Jim Garvin, takes us on a journey to Mercury, Venus, Earth, the moon, near-Earth objects, and Mars. Why does space matter? Why is exploring the inner solar system so crucial? Where will humans and robots venture to next? In this video lecture, filmed July 14, 2010 in NASA Goddard’s HD Science Studio with an audience of summer interns and co-op students, Dr. Garvin discusses NASA’s past, present, and future of discovery on our nearest neighbors in the solar system.

Space In Bytes: Science Fiction – Science Fact (ESA Lecture Series) — • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Whether it’s “Star Trek”, “USS Enterprise”, or the iconic space station from “2001 – A Space Odyssey”, science fiction has always provided inspiration and ideas for the scientists and engineers that design and build real spacecraft. The video compares factual and fictional space stations, manned spacecrafts and explains how sci-fi interplanetary travels could inspire future generation of scientists and engineers. ESA is developing a series of short video lessons (Space-in-Bytes) for upper secondary school students, and their teachers. The extensive use of videos and internet by youngsters today make Space-in-Bytes a perfect combination of both, an attractive and innovative tool to reach out to a broad audience of students. • www.esa.int .

Is it possible to create a flying car and operate it in a controlled airspace as an alternative to the automobile? Our guest thinks so: His Davis-based company, Moller International, is taking orders for its Skycar. The vehicle takes off and lands vertically and is “roadable,” meaning it can be driven on a road as well.
