Senator, Astronaut and NASA Advisory Council Chair Harrison Schmitt on “A Trip to the Moon” » Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future. VIDEO: Pardee Center Conference April 12, 2007 In this wide-ranging talk at the Pardee Center Conference on “The Future of Space Exploration”, Senator Harrison Schmitt, Apollo 17 Astronaut and NASA Advisory Council Chair, shares his own experiences of “a trip to the moon” and weaves in with this engaging and personal account a discussion of some of the policy challenges facing space exploration, now and into the future. He looks back at his own personal explorations in space and describes what it feelslike to be in space.

As he puts it: “Being there is the essential human ingredient.” The talk is followed by questions from the audience. Marking the 50th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik in 1957 and the 40th anniversary of the Outer Space Treaty, this Pardee Center conference brought together leading space scientists, visionaries, and entrepreneurs from around the world to imagine the next half-century of space exploration. About the Speaker. Home | MIT Video. NASA ASTRONAUT LEADS TOUR OF SPACE STATION IN HD. NASA | Einstein's Cosmic Speed Limit. The Elegant Universe: Series ... The Elegant Universe: Part 3 PBS Airdate: November 4, 2003 NARRATOR: Now, on NOVA, take a thrill ride into a world stranger than science fiction, where you play the game by breaking some rules, where a new view of the universe pushes you beyond the limits of your wildest imagination. This is the world of "string theory," a way of describing every force and all matter from an atom to earth, to the end of the galaxies—from the birth of time to its final tick, in a single theory, a "Theory of Everything.

" Our guide to this brave new world is Brian Greene, the bestselling author and physicist. BRIAN GREENE (Columbia University): And no matter how many times I come here, I never seem to get used to it. NARRATOR: Can he help us solve the greatest puzzle of modern physics—that our understanding of the universe is based on two sets of laws that don't agree?

NARRATOR: Resolving that contradiction eluded even Einstein, who made it his final quest. S. BRIAN GREENE:The atmosphere was electric. S. S. Astronomy Video Lectures. Hey guys! This month I have a collection of cosmology video lectures and astronomy video lectures. They include: Precision Cosmology. The Elegant Universe. Einstein's Cosmic Speed Limit. Tour of the International Space Station. From Earth to Mars. Measuring Milky Way Galaxy. Precision Cosmology Video Lecture on Precision CosmologyLecture description:In his "little ride" from Earth into the far reaches of space and time, Max Tegmark demonstrates the success of new technologies such as orbiting space telescopes and super computer number crunching that enable scientists to test their theories of the universe. Tegmark illustrates not just our planet's place in space, but the layout of the entire known cosmos as well, relying in particular on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and NASA satellite maps, which help animate 3D renderings of the universe over time.
