regime relies heavily on nasa sponsorship to a regime where nasa can be one of many customers. nasa's current plans use commercial platforms. [indiscernible] commercial demand is not yet sufficient to support commercial platforms. to that end, we will need to understand the cost related commitments once iss operations cease, and would nasa support a private platform, and for how long? both understand the demand for a national laboratory following the end of iss. because of all these decisions, they also come with resource implications. we need to go in with our eyes wide open. the $3 billion operation cost -- [indiscernible] and the future cost associated with services. who is to pay for this, including repairs, supplies, and ground-based operations? what level of savings is anticipated? we have a lot to discuss today and i look forward to our witness testimonies. i will continue to engage with the international partners in a post-iss era, and implications of other activities including china. the iss partnership is a beacon of and vehicle for peaceful international cooperation

but nasa started looking at me, several months went by. and finally, i said yes, i will just show that you are no longer affected by this meniere's disease. so there i was having made the right decision. >> i think we better backtrack a little here, because obviously, this is going to bring you into direct discussion about a fellow named deke slayton. we had established the fact that him, like you, had not gotten over flying. let's go back to that, because picked titillate, that happened in the mercury days, when he was getting ready to fly. i wonder if you had first heard -- >> we were assigned to follow john. >> right, and suddenly, he was bumped from his mercury flight. that was a heart condition, wasn't it? >> yes. there was a lot of controversy about that. because it was a heart murmur, or a palpitation, some irregularity, but one which was not obvious. i mean, it was not a continuous thing. it was not as if he was getting getting ready for cardiac arrest, or anything like that. it was just occasionally, he'd have a twist on their. >>

franklin diaz got selected by nasa as an astronaut. and those were the three pivotal moments where i said, i'm going to be an astronaut. seeing this on tv, there's an 8-year-old somewhere, i'm sure hundreds of them, watching and saying, one day, i'm going to be like that and go to mars and beyond. so this inspires our youth. we know that technology is the heartbeat of any economy. and so space exploration is -- it pushes the envelope of technology and innovation, so i think it's great. anytime we can get private industry to invest a dollar in space exploration, it's a dollar less that the u.s. taxpayer, that you and i have to pay. i think that's great, as well. >> we now have just under 26 minutes to go. there was that temporary hold, but now jeff bezos is shaking hands with the astronauts. it looks like he's giving a final hug to audrey powers right now. tom costello, speak to that. besides william shatner, captain kirk, talk about who's onboard. because audrey power, she's been with blue origin since 2013. she played a lead role in t

i imagine nasa puts out a report about ice that was lost last year in the arctic. that already happened. it was a year ago. with planet labs data, we can see this happening in real time. if you watch it and you see what is happening, you can react. the whole point of that is to allow people to take control of looking after our home. kristen: i want to ask what is next for you. i wonder if you are checking out elon musk and his promise of taking people to mars. >> i think mars is a little far for me. i would be happy with the moon or a giant space station in orbit. when i took this trip, i wondered, will this be me checking the box and the highlight of my career? or will i keep going and try to do something else? i feel more strongly than ever that we need to go to space as a species and i want to make that happen. kristen: all right, space traveler. i can't call you and asked because they changed the rules on who can be called an astronaut, but still a fantastic, amazing experience. look forward to having you back in the bay. take care. >> thank you. kristen: start

and this is all with nasa's blessing because the nasa engineers were there as well. but primarily from a pilot's point of view is this handle in the right place? if you have a switch which you have to use to counteract an emergency, is it reachable? is it visible? or do you have to go behind your back somewhere to find the darn thing? and primarily from a pilot's point of view was our interface. >> then finally you wound up being the first man to fly in a mercury spacecraft. did you know that was coming, or was it a surprise? can you describe your steps that led up to it? >> we'd been in training for probably 20 months or so early '61 when we all intuitively felt that pretty soon bob had to make a decision as to who was going to make the first flight. and when we received word that bob wanted to see us at 5:00 in the afternoon one day in our office, sort of felt perhaps he had decided. there were seven of us then in one office. we had seven desks around in the hanger in langly field. and bob walked in, closed the door and was very matter of fact. he said, well, you k

that's because most of the private companies have learned lessons from nasa. most have gotten technology advice as we see today. nasa engineers are part of the commercial efforts and a number of these companies. i think safety is at the top of mind for most of these com companies. i think of this as a graduation, we've got astronauts that go into lower earth orbit, you have the tourism effort that's happening now. we've got deep space flight. you've got to have this whole continuum where there's going to be this continuum of human beings at different aspects and levels of space exploration. that's going to really require the faa, perhaps nasa, perhaps the un that's involved, that has committees that deal with space, to develop better regulation around this whole effort. think about this. our kids growing up now whether never know a world where there will be no one in space. from this day forward, there will always be humans in space at some level, in lower earth orbit, on the moon and mars. to me that's very exciting. >> absolutely, absolutely. stretching the
