Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “International Space Station tech by NASA”.
Hey guys, it’s shaunell came with the birds and Lauren fresh we’re here at NASA’s booth at CES 2016. It’S the first time that NASA has been at the conference before and they’re showcasing a lot of the technologies that they use on the international space station. Then, hopefully, on Mars, someday we’re such big space nerd, so they had to come check out everything that they have here. So we’re about to go. Take a look at it Robonaut if you’re ready to give me a thumbs up that works.
So I’m about to see the SLS rocket fire, this thing’s not gon na fire for a couple years, but this is NASA’s next gigantic rocket that will hopefully take people to Mars and for us I think we hope maybe the moons on there, but definitely hopefully to Mars, I’m really close to this thing at the very bottom. You don’t want to be here when it takes off the coolant, is firing getting the Rockets ready to go and now I’m being lifted in the air box of magical sleigh or something I’ve got a countdown going in my ears. Oh, this is so cool. We’Ve only seen renders of this thing, but this is the most realistic version. I think anybody’s really probably seen so far.
That’S it just started building this thing, so it’s not actually even done yet. 15 t-minus 15. All right here we go t-minus, so you might understand.
I’M gon na leave, oh god, that’s dizzying, five! Four three did we run out of funding, so this is Billy Allen and he built this mock-up robot. The Curiosity rover so tell me a little bit about this guy. So this Rover is it’s sort of a traveling rover that goes with NASA and JPL to public events like elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, it’s meant to be kid friendly, open for people to approach it interact with the rover.
Look at it because, when you’re thinking of Rovers that are on Mars, it’s like you get those pictures that are back that are really cool. You can’t quite imagine like what is actually going on sort of the pictures, so it’s cool to see something in real life that can drive around this guys on remote control. It’S got a camera sensors that will tell what’s around it.
We’Ve been, we’ve been teaching it recently to drive autonomously, so I could drive around and avoid running into things, so you couldn’t be bothered to bring the actual Rover from the actual is like this big really big. I mean he really wanted to be impressive Sen. So this is a consumer electronics show. So how much is this going for and when can we buy it? So unfortunately, I close my eyes: it’s almost like I’m on Mars. Wait. I found water guys, we found water so as Sean and I have demonstrated we don’t necessarily meet the qualifications to be NASA astronauts. But here at the CES booth, we’ve got the next best thing picture, says astronaut so for more from z, es 2016 and the nasa booth head to the vers calm and go to youtube.com, slash berg just like subscribe, so how’s your day going Lauren. Actually, I’m not psyched about I’m not psyched about this carpet, though .
