FEC Fails To Punish Koch-Funded Law Breakers

The Ring of Fire

Published on Jul 19, 2016

Several Koch-funded organizations were fined last week for breaking campaign finance laws, but the total amount of those fines was only about 1% of the total amount spent by these groups. That’s not a punishment, and it will do nothing to deter future criminal behavior. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Dava Newman: “Mars and Beyond: Exploring Today for Tomorrow”

Talks at Google

Published on Jul 19, 2016

NASA is on a journey to Mars, and we are closer to reaching the Red Planet with human explorers than we have ever been in our history. Across the country, and around the world, NASA and its partners are working right now on the technologies and missions that will enable human “boots on Mars” in the 2030s.

We are testing advanced technologies for the next giant leaps of exploration. From solar electric propulsion to cutting edge life support systems, to the first crops grown in space, the journey to Mars is already unfolding in tangible ways across NASA today for tomorrow. Other breakthrough technologies we need are moving from drawing boards to development.

The agency’s strategic approach involves developing capabilities in three stages – from missions close to Earth involving commercial partners and the International Space Station, advancing to missions in Earth–Moon orbit, or deep space, using the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft, and finally moving on to Mars, where explorers will be practically independent from spaceship Earth.

The innovation required to achieve a human mission to Mars cuts across science, human exploration and technology. It builds on what has gone before, while driving the next advances. Our journey to Mars inspires educators and students by investing in new leaders ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow’s missions.

On behalf of Talks at Google Dava Newman was hosted by Boris Debic.
