will we see a landing on mercury at in i time? >> it's a whole other thing t land on the assumption because you have to slow down again and that means carrying a big, powerful rocket motor so not in mission. wee not going to be landing on the such as of mercury this time but who knows? we're following on the foot steps of mariner 10 and the messenger probe. the way science works is we expect to find other things we don't understand and maybe in the future, aened laker might be the right way to analysis nose questions. >> we look forward to seeing hose pictures. on and off. >> my pleasure. >> some pictures to share with you now from australia's north earn territories. a filming mission but this was being used to get footage of crociles when one of them decided to take a bite. in case you missed it, you can see it here again in slow motion. that looks quite nasty. amazing will i the drone did keep filming but suffered quite a built of damage. do stay with us here on "bbc narrator: funding for this presentation of this program is pro

at the surface of mercury. until then, a lot of the instruments are actually completely hidden inside the spacecraft right now, so a lot of them do not actually have a few out. but many of them don't need a field of view. there are things like magnetometers and dust counters and stuff that are activating just behind the flyby. are activating 'ust behind the fl b . ~ , , , are activating 'ust behind the flb. i, , flyby. why is this research so important? _ flyby. why is this research so important? it _ flyby. why is this research so important? it is _ flyby. why is this research so important? it is not - flyby. why is this research so important? it is not like - important? it is not like humans are planning to go and live on mercury anytime soon, is it? ., live on mercury anytime soon, is it? . , , is it? that is definitely true. humans do _ is it? that is definitely true. humans do not _ is it? that is definitely true. humans do not intend - is it? that is definitely true. humans do not intend to . is it? that

thing about mercury, there is water ice in the polls of mercury. it has impact craters who have dug deep holes into the polls and because there is a hole at the poll, the sun doesn't shine at the bottom of the crater and it can actually have water ice down their study actually a resource there but know this is mostly about scientific curiosity. it's about curiosity about how it formed, some very strange aspects of mercury about why its magnetic field is so offset, why there is so much carbon on the surface, and a lot of these questions feed into a much bigger question which is how did our solar system formed in the first place and that does lead back to us because it is to answer the question of how we got here, how our solar system generated an earth that could support life and in order to answer that question we need to look at both ends of the solar system, mercury, pluto and beyond and everything in between to understand how it came to be. and david bowie might have left us for another planet, but his legacy lives on. ahead of what would have b

we don't really understand yet how mercury formed. was it hit by something else that stripped away much of the crust in the early phases? or was it something to do with where it was born? and it has a magnetic field on the inside, which is quite curious for an object which is so small. the earth has one, but mars — which is smaller than the earth but bigger than mercury — doesn't have one. so there's lots of mysteries about the planet mercury, and it's one of the least visited planets in the inner solar system because it's so hard to get to. could you just explain why it is so hard to get to? because we understand it's going to take years to get into a stable orbit position. why is that? most people would understand that if you want to go a long way from the sun, you need a lot of energy to get there. but actually you need a lot of energy if you're going close to the sun, and that's to slow down. actually, if you just let the sun pull you in, you would be going past mercury so fast, you couldn't stop, so we're using the planets â€

>> mercury. >> mercury's on the other side of the planet, okay? they have switched sides, they're on opposite sides. usually we'd be on the other side, now mercury is on the side where we can view it. and the moon is in back of it, okay? >> can you explain what retrograde is? >> i don't know, a lot of vague life changes i've noticed in some of my friends' lives. they were going into life changes. not to get into astrology. >> no, get into that. you're into astrology? >> a little, not heavily. >> what's your sign? >> taurus. >> okay, cool. i'm an equestrian. >> all right. >> a lot of people are upset joe biden didn't do more to prevent mercury from going into retrograde. what do you think about that? >> i believe he could have did something. all the stuff we got these days, technology, smartphones. you know, basically space police and stuff. i'm pretty sure they could have did something. >> yeah, joe biden, mercury, that's technically intergalactic politics if you believe in anything like that. >> i do. >> with nasa and -- what's the -- there's int

europe is 's first mission to mercury - is �*s first mission to mercury is �*s first mission to mercury is making a flight i approach on the night side of the planet. that flyby approach. and let's dance. a new album of previously unreleased david bowie tunes is due to be made public. we talk to the records producer. welcome to the programme. they could be a breakthrough in the way we treat covid—i9. interim trials suggest a new experimental drug for severe covid cuts the risk of hospitalisation or death by about half. if authorised by regulators, the new drug, which comes in the form of a pill, would be the first oral antiviral medication for covid—i9. this is the first covid pill. trial results suggest it can cut hospitalisations or deaths by half. the news of the efficacy of this particular antiviral is obviously very good news. the company, when they briefed us last night, had mentioned that they will be submitting their data to the fda imminently. the data are impressive. pills were given to 775 elderly or medically at—risk patients within five days of them showing coronaviru

have held life mercury. so close to the sun. obviously, it's not going to be a place where life is sustainable. what is they to lundy think? no, no, no, no, no way that we would have a life because it's to close the of this and as you said, and when you do not know whether ever there was any water on the planet surface, we know that that is probably some lift over water tiny amounts in the polar regions that and 80 as that never see the effect. but we're not sure about that. and we hope that this mission were give us some some look at whether or not that is a little bit of water in the regions where they'd never see that sense. so they're always, but of course, freezing cold not to plenty of moves that hours up there on the sand very fast. it is, it's here is only $88.00 days and $88.00 days it rotates all around the sun. so it is, it's very different from the other planets and we would know we need to know what, what it is made of, how did it develop, whether it has a reputation of 3 and or not. and all of

the mission to mercury is expected to reach the plan in a number of hours. it will take pictures of the planet and send them back to earth as it does.

mercury has not been visited very much so far by man-made probes. there have been two american missions before us, so we have a battery of instruments to study the environment and remote surface instruments. and such other scientific topics. so this is what we will dedicate our work to when arrive. >> so getting all of that data is one challenge. i mean, getting the probes there at all to even where you are now, so close to the sun, with the heat and the huge gravitational pull of the sun to contend with, it's a monumental feat of engineering. talk me through the challenges you had here? >> yes, it's a high point of decades of hard work by scientists and engineers to make it happen and the spacecraft is now plunging towards the sun. fulliby was at a distance of 56 million kilometers from the sun. but we'll reach our lowest point in just a few weeks from now. the spacecraft can really feel the heat. it's about a third of what we can feel here on the earth many terms of distance, but in terms of heat, it would be about ten times. so the spacecraft is

but it's very difficult to enter orbit at mercury. it's a very small planet and the gargantuan gravity of the sun is close by. so they'll have to fly past it a total of five times before finally entering orbit in 2025. so all they really want to hear is that the spacecraft is healthy and safe and its trajectory is exactly what they want. but they'll also be getting some science data from this encounter. david bowie might have left us for another planet, but his legacy lives on. ahead of what would have been his 75th birthday, new album i've never released material is about to be released. toy was recorded in 2001, with the star recording a new combination of new material and revamped versions of earlier songs. the singer had hoped to release and record the album quickly, but his record label, virgin, was less enthusiastic. well, their loss is our gain now and i am pleased to say that the records producer joins us now from new york. mark, a very good afternoon to you on the east coast. what was the inspiration behind this album? this a

the mission launched in 2018 will soon release 2 probes into mercury's orbit. take a look at this animation of our inner solar system. the probe is marked by a white x. it takes one and a half years to just complete a fly by earth. that's the blue orbit line. and another 18 months to get through venus is all bit in red to the point where it's now flying past mercury. if all goes according to plan and off to 6 such fly poss, pepe colombo, will be fully imaculi's. oh, bit. by the end of 2025 very kel bass is a space scientist in boston university. he says, this is an extraordinary moment located and really wonderful because of the fact that we use the gravitational port of mercury to put the spacecraft in grocer enough. so that we can see the picture and we have not been there for a very long time. the only 2 missions visited, murky before so, expecting a great deal of information. we do not know whether ever there was any water on the planet surface. we know that there is probably some left over water, tiny bones in the polar regions in areas that never see that

separated from the mercury capsule and eject it. for some reason, for the chimpanzees flight, it fired but did not separate itself. and so the chimp was lifted another ten or 15 miles and it was absolutely nothing wrong for anything else wrong with the mission. so our recommendation, strongly, was, okay let's separate the next one. so this thing happens again, it goes a little higher. gordon said no, he said, no, we want to have everything absolutely right. so we flew another unmanned mission. before gregan flew. and then mine. if they put me in that unmanned mission, we would have flown first. but it was tight in retrospect. >> it doesn't seem important for the time, but i guess it was. >> oh, it was. absolutely. >> did you say anything publicly? >> no, as you know, we had a lot of differences of opinion about things in the program. not only the design but some of the scheduling. but most of that was kept pretty quiet. most of that was resolved. and very little of that came out in public. it was always, you know, sort of a joint de

and there are just hours to go until the culmination of europe's first mission to mercury. he though. hello. there could be a breakthrough in the way we treat covid—19. interim trials suggest that a new experimental drug for severe covid cuts the risk of hospitalisation or death by about half. if authorised by regulators, the new drug which comes in the form of a pill would be the first oral antiviral medication for covid—19. our health correspondent james reed has more. on the surface, these are very positive results, and they've come through much earlier than we were expecting. so the way that these trials work, you give half the people in the trial this medication, you give the other half a placebo — or dummy — pill, and you compare what the outcomes are. and in this case, 7% of people in the trial that were given this medication that had covid or had just been infected with covid ended up going into hospital. in the placebo arms — they hadn't had this medication — it was twice that, it was 14%. so that's where you get that really positive result — it cuts

if all goes according to plan after 6 fly past pepe colombo, be fully and mercury is orbit at the end of 2025. pharaoh kel bass is a space scientist at boston university says, this is an extraordinary moment most in it. and really wonderful because of the fact that we use the gravitational port of mercury to put the spacecraft in grocer enough so that we can see the picture. and we have not been there for a very long time. only 2 missions visited america before. so really expecting a great deal of information, we do not know whether ever there was any water on the planet surface. we know that there is probably some left over water, tiny bones in the polar regions in areas that never sees effect. but we are not sure about that, and we hope that this mission will give us some some look at whether or not there is a little bit of water in the polar regions where they'd never see that. so they're always very court freezing cold, but deployed it moves that are out there understand very fast it's, it's only it dates it days, it rotates all around the fact. so it is, it is very different from

we had flown a chimpanzee called ham in a redstone mercury combination. and everything had worked perfectly except there was a relay which at the end of the powered flight was supposed to eject the escape tower, because it was no longer needed, separate it from the mercury capsule, and eject it. for some reason, with ham's flight, it fired but it did not separate itself. so the chimp was lifted to another 10 to 15 miles in altitude, another 20 to 30 miles in range. there was absolutely nothing wrong with -- anything else wrong with the mission. so our recommendation strongly was, okay, let's put shepard in the next one, everything worked fine. so the thing happens again. no big deal, shepard goes a little higher. werner said no, we want everything absolutely right. so we flew another unmanned mission before gregarin flew, then his flight, and then mine. so it was really touch and go there. if we had put me in that unmanned mission we would have actually flown first. but it was -- it was tight. >> in retrospect, it doesn't seem that important, but at the t

. >> 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. toward '61 when we all intuitively felt that bob gareth 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 that perhaps he had decided. there was seven of us then in one office. we had seven desks around in the hangar in langley field. and bob walked in, closed the door and was very matter of fact. he said, well you know we've got to decide who is going to make the first flight and i don't want to pinpoint publicly at this stage one individual within the organization i want everyone to know that we will designate the first flight and the second flight and a back-up pilot. but beyond that, we won't make any public decisions. so we said shepard gets the first flight, gris ham gets the second flight and glenn

a joint european and japanese space mission to mercury has sent back its 1st images of the planet to the baby columbia mission. as made, the 1st of 6 fly bies of the planet using its gravity to slow the spacecraft down was launched in 2018 and was soon released to probes into merc was orbit to study the planet. well, the, it all began 3 years ago when the baby columbia mission was launched from the european spaceport in guyana, in this animation of our inner solar system. the probe is marked by the white x. it takes one and a half years to just complete a fly by an earth that's the blue orbit line. then another 18 months to get through venus's orbit in red to the point where it's now flying past mercury. if all goes according to plan, after 6 fly past pepe colombo will be fully in merc resume it. at the end of 2025. with erica bars is a space scientist at boston university. he says, this is an extraordinary moment. nice in it and really wonderful because of the fact that we use the gravitational port of mercury to put the spacecraft in grocer enough so that we can see the picture. an

i think we have incredible brands mercury engines, those brands can tolerate some price and we're not seeing any contraction of demand based on the pricing we have done so far. i think that came through in really strong margins. >> also, where you finish in terms of being flat for the year, the rest of the industry is down. you're taking from every one >> we have been really strange we have taken share on our engine business. mercury marine is up 300 basis points in share and just this year many of our brands, our fishing boat brands in aluminum and salt water have taken share. we expect to be ahead of the market here. really what's going on in the overall market is nothing to do with raw demand. raw demand is tremendously strong but we're really seeing is constraint supply just actually yesterday was the fist day of the ft. lauderdale boat show and very familiar to you, our sales first day sales were up 50% versus the same show last year. even with constraint demand and with long wait times, people are really, really keen to get a boat and obviously, we want get as many of them as we

today the commissioner singled out three big car insurance companies, all state, mercury and csaa which sells aaa insurance. all three refunded policyholders in part since covid-19 started. lars says the industry is giving back an average of 9% when he figures it should be 17% back in your pocket. he wants them to fix that gap in the next 30 days. >> all state, cfaa and mercury represent one in five of california drivers, and so we're starting with these three first and really sending the message loud and clear i'm not going to accept it from any other insurance company. >> we contacted the three companies targeted today. csaa said they're reviewing the request and will respond in the time frame requested. the company noted it has refunded more than $137 million. mercury said it has given back $175 million so far and will continue to do the right thing for its customers. all state said, we were the first insurer to respond to decreased driving during the pandemic by returning $1 billion to drivers country wide. we'll let you know what happens when the 30-day deadline hits. >>> all right
