Today on CNN student news, the last space shuttle launched in 2011 was a blast from the past. We'll tell you NASA will look for the future of space exploration. First of those, we take California where fire fighters are recently containing wild fires that are scorching1 part of the Sate2. About 60 miles east of Sacromeno, an eldorado national forest, one fire has churned up about 8600 acres by yesterday afternoon. That's like 8600 football fields. And it was only 5% contained when we produce the show. Thousands of people had to evacuate3 their homes. And this is only one of almost a dozen different fires that were fueled by the state story drought. California seized a lot of wild fires. It has a wild fire season that runs from mainly October. But Cowfires says this one is on track to be the most destructive season ever. A heat wave that settled over California this week isn't helping4.
Jumping cross country to a land, Geogias, headquarters of the centers for disease control and prevention and it's where Presedent Obama
spoke5 yesterday about Ebola. Several nations in the west Africa are losing their fight against it. There are more people with suspected Ebola than there are hospital beds to treat them. The US has committed 100 million dollors to efforts to help stop the fever from spreading. Yesterday the President asked Congress to approve additional 88mln. It will be used to build trip centers in west Africa, and send more American medical workers to
affected6 regions. Obama administration officials say as many as 3000 additional US troops could be sent to west Africa as well. The U.N. says Ebola could become a major
humanitarian7 crisis.
NASA, the national
aeronautics8 space administration, is calling taxi. Its space shuttle program might be invented 3 years ago, but it's using some of the tax-payer funding gaits to pay private companies to invent space taxies. Vehicles that could potentially get Americans to the International space station may be beyond. The launch from Florida can be space station starting in 2017. So who will be making them?
A major mouth has in mind. A new private vasaries. Bona has warned a majority of mass commercial
coupon9 contract to a space shuttle.
Buliding CSTEEN100 will favor American astronauts back and
forth10 to the international space issue. This is a big deal since NASA cancel the shuttle program in 2017. We have to rely on Russia to get our astronauts into space. Seats on the Russian Soruse Capsule cost over 17mln $ each. Now actually be signed CSteen100 designed for safety.
It's actually pretty quipped there. It can filliped 7 but it's configured to only 5 right now.
Boinbida, two other private companies to win this contract, seeavada and elonmaSpace X which one the smaller contract to developing alternative deborns capsule, the dragon. NASA turn to the private
sector11 to reduce the cost and risk in the long and short term. That set off a new private space race, and ne announce marks a big win for bowing. Both beneficiaries told me they believe the industry could be worth 20bln $ over the next 20 years.
