The National Aeronautics and Space Administration presents Aeronautics and Space Report. 1967 marked the end of the first decade since Sputnik. It was an eventful year in space. A year when this country's biggest rocket was flown for the first time. A year when the moon was mapped in its entirety. And a year when remarkable color pictures of the Earth were received from a globe-orbiting satellite. These are the highlights. There were three successful surveyors this year helping prepare the way for Americans who would land on the moon. These three-legged craft hurled 235,000 miles from Earth and sat down gently on the moon. Their job? photograph large areas of the lunar surface. This the surveyors did and more. Upon a signal from Earth, an arm on Surveyor 3 with a small shovel attached extended out to this unknown soil, retrieved a scoop full and placed it on one of the spacecraft's landing pads. Surveyor's camera then took a look at the moon material in color. Other instrumentation has chemically sampled the soil. But the surveyors were not alone. Three picture-taking lunar orbiters gave scientists a different perspective as they circled above the moon. Again pictures, pictures from a distance and pictures close up. Pictures revealing the lunar surface in remarkable detail. The kind of detail needed before men land there. Explaining what we've learned from the two spacecraft, NASA's Assistant Director for Lunar Flight Programs, Captain Lee Scherer. There are three major accomplishments of the Surveyor and Lunar Orbiter programs. They have demonstrated that we have the technical competence to do a significant exploration of the planets with automated spacecraft. They have shown us that the moon is a complex and scientifically interesting place for further exploration by man. And they have paved the way for that first man landing. This will be accomplished along the equatorial belt of the moon. In this zone, the eight smoothest sites have been selected from orbiter photography. In the four of these, surveyors have landed. The next step is that historic moment when man first sets foot on the lunar surface. It will be a launch vehicle like this Saturn V that will one day boost astronauts toward the moon. In this important first flight test on November 9, all systems worked flawlessly. Separations occurred as programmed, stages untried in space, fired on command. Shown here in animation, the all-important re-entry to duplicate a return trip from the moon. It too exceeded its requirements. The spacecraft skipped in and out of the Earth's atmosphere to slow it down, blazing in at nearly 25,000 miles per hour, simulating a lunar return. Finally, a landing in the Pacific within sight of recovery ships. A textbook flight from liftoff to splashdown. Saturn V and its million component parts worked and worked well. 1967 was a year when three astronauts were lost during a ground test of the Apollo command module. Since then, the spacecraft has been redesigned, a quick opening hatch for emergency exits, special covers and guards for panels, fireproof containers for potentially flammable materials, and new electrical circuit designs. New Apollo spacecraft is ready, and so are the men who will make the first flight, astronauts Shira, Cunningham, and Isley. 1967 was an especially busy year for other unmanned space explorers. Bio-satellite carried out the first biological research in space under controlled conditions. 13 experiments were chosen to study how various life processes are affected by the space environment. These earthly space travelers included frog eggs, wheat seedlings, wasps, and flower beetles. The main objectives of the mission were to study the effects of weightlessness and radiation upon living organisms. After two days in space, the bio-satellite capsule re-entered the Earth's atmosphere, snatched in mid-air by plane, and rushed to Hawaii to waiting scientists. It was learned from the flight that several types of plants are dependent upon a continuous gravity field. However, most of the data from the various experiments, including those for radiation, are still being studied. Three observatory-type spacecraft were launched during the year. This is OGO, orbiting geophysical observatory, In addition to giving scientists a better understanding of interplanetary and galactic space, OGO's many experiment hours of data may eventually unlock some of the mysteries of the Earth's environment. Two spacecraft in the orbiting solar observatory series are studying the Sun and its influence on the Earth. The Sun is the nearest star to our planet, and the only one we can study in detail. Here's an ultraviolet view, as never before seen. It indicates solar heat in excess of a million and a half degrees. Orbiting solar observatories will also serve as watchdogs for future space travelers, enabling those on the ground to advise astronauts of solar activity, warning them when they should come in out of possibly hazardous solar storms. Complementing the observatory satellites, two interplanetary monitoring probes, explorers 34 and 35. The two are part of a solar flare prediction capability to aid the lunar landing program. They are also reporting on the magnetosphere, which protects the Earth from radiation. The reliable Atlas-Agena launch vehicle was used this year to launch the second and third in a series of five applications technology satellites. The spider-shaped spacecraft are being used to test out experimental systems for improving weather forecasts, radio television, and communications of all kinds. Up till now, airplanes flying over mid-ocean have been out of radio range for periods of an hour or more. With ATS technology, airlines can keep in touch at all times. And would you give us your latest ETA for London? Number 162, this is Goddard test control over. Goddard test control from number 162, Roger, allowed and clear a perfect signal. This conversation between a Pan Am jet pilot and mainland United States took place when the plane was halfway from New York to London. The communication traveled from the ground to the satellite and finally to the airplane. ATS can also relay color TV and multiple telephone calls from around the globe. Color pictures of the Earth show the changing cloud pattern over the world for an entire day, giving weathermen a view in color of developing storms. While the ATS were checking out possible advanced application systems, NASA launched six more operational satellites, three ESSA satellites for the Weather Bureau and three IntelSAT spacecraft for the Communication Satellite Corporation. On June 14, a 540-pound spacecraft called Mariner was launched toward the planet Venus. After traveling through space for nearly three and one-half months and covering a distance of 219 million miles, Mariner 5 flew by Venus. The highly successful Mariner transmitted data about the Venusian atmosphere, ionosphere, magnetic fields, and the energy levels of cosmic rays. In Pasadena, the director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory talked about the results. Here's Dr. William H. Pickering. On October 19 of this year, Mariner 5 flew past the planet Venus at a distance of about 2,500 miles above the surface. This was the second successful Mariner mission to the planet. The path of the Mariner is shown by this model. And between these two points of the path around the planet, Mariner was out of sight of the Earth. This was done deliberately so that we could observe the effect of radio signals passing through the atmosphere of the planet Venus. By observing the effect of the atmosphere on the radio signals, we were able to learn a great deal about the atmosphere of the planet to show, for example, that it is exceedingly dense at the surface, that it is mostly carbon dioxide. San Marco is the name of a cooperative effort between NASA and the Italian Commission for Space Research. A launch pad anchored off the coast of Kenya, Africa, was the site of the scientific launching. The successful San Marco reported on the makeup of the Earth's atmosphere and investigated the causes of interference with long-range radio transmissions. More than 360 sounding rockets were used to probe the regions of the lower and middle atmospheres. Many of these experiments were in cooperation with other nations. Interested scientists from all over the world bring their experiments to NASA's Wallops Island, Virginia, sounding rocket station for launching. NASA continued broadly applicable basic research in aeronautics during 1967. Supersonic aircraft technology was of particular interest. This effort included the operation of test planes like this XB-70. The XB-70 is being used to study the flight dynamics associated with supersonic speeds. The huge bird-like plane duplicates the size and speed of the SST. Although primary interest has been on materials, propulsion, and flight dynamics, work in such areas as fuels, radiation factors, and sonic boom is also continuing. One thing the XB-70 cannot simulate is the variable sweep feature of the SST, which allows the plane's wings to fold close to the fuselage for supersonic travel and then swing back to normal position for landing. The F-111 can, however, and NASA is using this plane to provide much of the experience needed to study the variable sweep characteristics of supersonic transports. To study speeds in excess of 3,500 miles per hour, the hypersonic X-15 rocket airplane is used. The usual Jet Black X-15 took on a new appearance this year, as it was painted with a special ablative coating to withstand the searing heat beyond Mach 7. On October 3rd, Major William Knight set a new speed record with the newly painted rocket plane, 4,534 miles per hour. As usual, the X-15 is carried aloft by a giant B-52. When a desired altitude is reached, the X-15 drops away and maneuvers on its own. Major Knight and all the test pilots at the Flight Research Center mourned the recent death of Major Michael J. Adams in a fatal crash of one of the X-15s, the first fatality since the program began in 1959. A so-called HL-10 lifting body was successfully tested this year at the Flight Research Center. Lifting body craft are being studied as one possible means of flying future spacecraft back to Earth after a mission, rather than parachuting into the ocean. Their stubby design will allow an astronaut to maneuver his spaceship back through the Earth's atmosphere and then land like a conventional airplane. Jet aircraft noise is a national problem. NASA's effort is part of a nationwide program with other government agencies and industry is threefold. While studies are going on to improve existing engines, the Lewis Research Center in Cleveland is designing a completely new engine designed to be quiet. Across the country, at NASA's Ames Research Center in California, a specially instrumented jet is being operated in a way to decrease the ground exposure to noise. This involves flying the plane in at a steep approach and letting the distance reduce the noise on the ground. Eventually, all the known noise control techniques will be combined in an effort to produce a truly quiet engine.

There's been an Aeronautics and Space Report presented by NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.


Hi everyone, it's Secretary of Defense Ash Carter here in Kabul headquarters in Afghanistan to thank our troops for their service this holiday season. 2016 was another busy year for the department, from the fight to deliver ISIL a lasting defeat to our ongoing mission to build a brighter future here in Afghanistan, to standing strong in the Asia Pacific and in Europe, to our rescue efforts during Hurricane Matthew, the men and women of the US military and our civilian workforce stepped up around the world as you always do. We've been busy on the home front as well. We unveiled new initiatives to benefit our military families and improve our recruitment efforts to continue building the force of the future. We launched new programs to strengthen our digital defenses and keep us on the cutting edge of military technology. We welcomed new service chiefs and combatant commanders and we celebrated our military's finest athletes as they ran, swam and jumped to victory in the 2016 Rio Olympics. So it's been an incredible year and I want to thank all of you and your families for your service. You're doing one of the noblest things a person can do to defend our country and make a better world for our children. So I want to wish you and your families a blessed holiday season and a happy new year. See you in 2017.


If you ended up in the field at the Masters, what do you think you'd shoot? Bad. 200 over? Probably something like that. I got my first birdie three weeks ago. Congratulations. Yeah. Maybe you'd sneak one. 200. At Augusta? On a good day, probably a 130. I don't know. There's a number higher than that. 124 for 18. Hey, that's all right. No, it's not. It's a snowman every time. It's eight strokes. It's always been for improvement though. Oh, yeah. Well, there's not a lot of time left to improve. There's plenty. Probably about 20. On a good day. About 20 is not going to win it. It's not going to win it. I don't know. So it'd be over 100. Way over. I don't know what. Way over. 105. I would cheat. 105 and I'd be thrilled. 95. On a good day. I'd hope to break 80. That would be a far cry. I've played this course before. Low 80s here. So probably there. Probably 90. Nothing in the negatives. Nothing good. Plus 85. I think that's generous, I think. Yeah, since I've never actually played it. I would do nothing good.


As an Indian, my number one priority is the nation and its people. Now, it is pretty clear that the Chinese have entered our territory. This disturbs me. It makes frankly my blood boil. How can some other nation just come into our territory? Now, if you as a politician want me to keep quiet and lie to my people, when I am absolutely convinced I have seen the satellite photos, I speak to the ex-army people. If you want me to lie that the Chinese have not entered this country, I am not going to lie. I simply will not do it. I don't mind.  But I am not going to lie. I think the people who are lying about Chinese entering our country are the people who are not nationalistic. I think the people who are lying and who are saying the Chinese are not in India, they are the people who are not patriotic. So frankly, I don't care if it cost me politically. I don't care if I have no political career at all after that. But I am going to say the truth as far as Indian territory is concerned.


A friend of mine is a neuroscience expert. We talk every couple of weeks to dive into the way our minds and personalities operate. One day she told me about the prefrontal cortex, the part of our brain that makes decisions when faced with options or information. I realized that while I am quick to come up with ideas, I can occasionally face a sort of paralysis when it comes to choosing which one is the most helpful. I'm typically most excited about my most recent idea and don't always realize whether or not it's my most helpful idea. And so I need help from others. I need to collaborate to hear someone else's point of view. I need to outsource my prefrontal cortex. But then again, creativity is always best when it happens in community.


A lot of coaches message me all the time, hey Ben, I want to try to generate a hundred thousand dollars per year. And what we do is we get on a call, right? You can text me right now, my number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. I set up calls every single day with coaches worldwide who are interested in growing their business and you should text me right now if we haven't talked and I'll set up this call with you. But what we do is we look at the numbers. We look very closely at how much you're working, how much you're charging, how your clients are being billed and I look at things very, very close, almost like I'm looking at your business under a microscope. And often what I see is the math and the numbers do not align with what your financial goals are. But if you're charging $50 per session for training, right, it's going to be very, very difficult to make $8,333 per month. And why is that number significant? Well, if you want to make $100,000 of income, right, that's before taxes, that's the amount of money that you would need to generate month after month for 12 months, right? Then you have to look back and see, well, how many clients am I working with if I were to charge $50 per session? The number is pretty ridiculous, right, because you have to look at it very simple to where each client is probably paying you $200 per month and then we take that number and we have to multiply it out times the amount of clients you need to get to $8,333 per month. A lot, trust me, right? Trust me, it's a lot. So why are we talking about this? Well, it's because we need you to sit down, right? I want you to sit down this week and look at, well, here's how much I'm charging. Here's how many hours I'm working. How can I change this to where I am not working as much? How can I change this to where I'm working with more committed clients who are in my program for longer periods of time? So I am not worried if they pay monthly, all right? They are going to be paying monthly. You're not worried about any of that stuff. And the operations side of your business, that's something we need to look at. We need to make sure, is this setup ideal for you? When you get to the end of the month, are you freaking out about what's going to happen next month? Or can you sleep really good at night knowing, you know what, I have these really committed clients, I know their payment is coming in because I don't have to ask them for it because it's all happening on demand for me. And I know every month, it's just my responsibility piece by piece. Let's just add a few more clients. And as you add a few more clients, like I talked about in previous videos, you're not having to work more hours, all right? A lot of coaches that I'm helping right now, and I just got off the phone with Juan, which is why I wanted to create this video. He's generating right around $500 to $600 per session, all right? 500 to $600 per session because we took his model from charging per hour, all right, for one-on-one training, and we flipped it. And we looked very close at the group model. And for his business, that was the right fit. And once he started to get clients that shipped over to that, not only are his sessions better, but his clients are getting better results. He has way more energy. He has way more energy with his family. And all of these things start happening when you take a step back and you actually analyze what you're doing. And I will tell you, I've been a coach for a very long time. It took me years to take a step back and be critical of my own business and look at, you know what, why am I spending so much time training? Why aren't I getting paid a premium? Why do I feel this way month after month? And this is where you have to put your ego to the side. You have to be willing to change. And I talk about this a lot in my videos. If you're doing something right now and it's not working the way you want it, you're going to have to change to get whatever result you want, flat out. If you want to charge more for your program, you have to make changes, right? You can't just charge more. You're going to have to make big changes not only within your program but within your mindset. You have to think differently about yourself. You have to really have that confidence that you are worth the amount that you're charging. You're worth way more than that, right? And over the last five years, I've seen this happen like clockwork. Coaches that charge very little for one-on-one training, they end up charging way more for one-on-one training. Coaches that charge very little for group training. They started to scale their pricing, right? Coaches that would run, I'd say, very mediocre clinics and camps, now have sold out clinics and camps. And this is because they were willing to make big changes within their business. They knew they wanted more for their business. They didn't want to just year after year have the same results because you don't grow when you do that. You have to evolve your business. You have to make changes. If you're watching this right now and you know you want to evolve and make these sort of changes that I'm talking about, reach out to me. Send me a text at<PHONE_NUMBER> or you can find me on Instagram, send me a direct message there. That's it for today's video. I'll talk to you later.
