Not only that, but who we choose to pick on that trip also needs to have the statistically lowest chance of… perishing. So it might be the case that our best scenario is all female crew! The Mars Rover is doing some small work, but there are some things humans are just better at. Failing a Mars Mission (and no, Mars One doesn’t count) would be a big setback, so we need to get our first attempt right. So, who’s best suited for the trip? Well, watch this episode of PBS Space Time to find out why it may be advantageous to have our first mars mission be all women!

Subscribe to Naked Science - http://goo.gl/wpc2Q1 On 5th August 2010, all 33 of the day shift miners at the San Jose mine in Chile were missing and feared killed when their copper and gold mine collapsed. For 17 days no one knew whether they were alive or dead. Miraculously, after all hope was lost, on the 17th day the specialist drilling rigs looking for signs of life smashed through into the tunnel where the men had been clinging on. All 33 of the men were alive and well. Buried Alive: The Chilean Mine Rescue was given unprecedented access to the drilling rigs, engineers and medics for the definitive story of how this audacious rescue was carried out. The film follows the extraordinary story of the 33 miners, trapped underground for 70 days. Above ground, the film makers had unique access to document the highs and lows of the drilling teams as they pounded their way through almost half a mile of granite. Below ground the programme follows how the miners survived for so long and hears first hand from the doctors and psychologists who were keeping them alive and sane, giving extraordinary insight into the underground hell they had to endure. The rescue of all 33 Chilean miners has been an extraordinary feat of ingenuity and daring. This factual documentary explains in detail the challenges they faced and the technology they used to overcome all odds. Buried Alive: The Chilean Mine Rescue gains unique access to the key players involved to tell the story of the tireless, tough and emotional effort that went on at the San Jose Mine, away from the glare of the news cameras

In B1M University Class 3, AluK’s Jordan Kingman presents the challenges to building information modelling (BIM) adoption from a building product manufacturer’s perspective. The 28 minute video, filmed at Loughborough University in the UK, takes a detailed and honest look at the aluminium window and curtain walling manufacturer’s BIM journey (http://www.AluK.co.uk). Drawn from experiences to date, the Class will no doubt resonate with many manufacturers in a similar position. Jordan – AluK’s Architectural Project Manager and BIM Co-ordinator – takes us through the company’s motives for adopting BIM initially (from 0.24). “It was more than just Customer demand” he explains. “We knew it could be a massive advantage for us; offering free information to BIM-enabled project teams would give us a commercial edge”. He goes on to highlight the challenges they faced, including: Software costs (from 6.10) Staff knowledge (from 7.01) Data and information (from 7.23) Cost (from 7.49) Customer requirements (from 8.22) Standards and regulations (from 9.07) BIM jargon (from 9.45) Perhaps most importantly, the Class then looks at how AluK overcame these challenges (from 10.20). The focus that BIM places on delivering accurate attribute data and structured information in particular demanded a different approach: “BIM is a whole different level of information, a different mindset and a different structure as well. We had to adapt to that accordingly” explains Jordan. AluK decided early on to invest in BIM (explained from 15.15) and are now seeing real returns on investment as a result of doing so (from 20.06). “We dived in relatively early. If you look at where we were two years ago and where we are now, we’re light years apart” said Jordan. The clip form’s part of our B1M University series; a teaching initiative that shares industry BIM expertise with University students through free online videos. Loughborough University hosted Class 3 and invited their Students to watch the filming, directly supporting their own curriculum. Dr Zulfikar Adamu, who leads BIM teaching in their School of Civil and Building Engineering, explained how all Students have access to extensive online training for industry-standard software packages, and that most courses now include specialist modules on BIM to prepare them for placements and graduate employment.

It’s our celestial home. See all the detail in this gorgeous photo. Look at all those stars, gas and beautiful glowing space dust. Can you imagine what went into taking this photo? What marvels of human engineering to get a camera to photograph the whole Milky Way all at once. Of course you can, you’re smart. Let’s walk through this together. First, you’d need to have a camera that worked in space and a big wide field of view. Sure, we can build those. Then you’d need to take that camera and place it just outside the Milky Way pointing back at Earth. Like if you were taking a picture of a house, you’d need to stand in the street out front. So we figure to be out on the street in front of the Milky Way, you’d need to be about 100,000 light years above it. That’s not so far. Some galaxies are millions of light years away. So, how did we get a camera this sophisticated that far out above the Milky Way? You know, the galaxy we’re inside of. This is where the “photo of the Milky Way” curtain comes down. By our current propulsion technology, it would take us 2.2 billion years to get to that sweet spot. Truth is, that’s not a photo. It’s an artist’s illustration of the Milky Way. Here’s a photograph of a galaxy that sort of looks like what you’d see if you were outside the Milky Way. This is NGC 6744, a galaxy that many astronomers think looks pretty similar to the Milky Way. See the swirling arms? Bright core surrounded by dark lanes of gas and dust? The blobs of active star formation? Hold it in your mind. Here’s an actual photo of the Milky Way. Right here is the core, the brightest, densest spot; stars are packed so close together it’s hard to tell them apart. Also the location of our galaxy’s supermassive black hole, a region that contains 4.1 million times the mass of the Sun. Stars swirl around this region like comets going around a star. Don’t see it? I promise, that’s the spot. Compare this to what it looks like when you peer away from the core, towards the outer disk of the Milky Way. Man, those photos sure are different and by that I mean, shouldn t one those nearly identical pictures have a giant glowing ball in the middle? Why can’t we see it… it’s right there-ish? It’s dust. Interstellar dust. Back to the image of NGC 6744. See the dust lanes surrounding the core of the galaxy? From our position within the galaxy, that thick dust totally obscures our view. The dust is created by stars, as they fuse material and create energy. It collects together by gravity into formations that obscure our view. Fortunately, astronomers have a few additional wavelengths they can use to see into the galaxy. When you look at the core of the galaxy in infrared, like with the Spitzer Space Telescope, it looks like this. In fact, in the infrared, you can slice right through that dust and see the environment around the supermassive black hole at the heart of the galaxy. Dr. Andrea Ghez and her team used this technique to find stars whipping around. Nothing could be this dense and dark, except a supermassive black hole. Astronomers have a name for the region of sky obscured by the Milky Way: the Zone of Avoidance. See now, that’s a cool name. It’s a little 1950’s but it’s way better than “Water Reclamation System”. Back in the days that astronomers could only make visual observations, the Zone of Avoidance took up about 20% of the night sky. But by observing in other wavelengths, like infrared, x-ray, gamma rays, and especially radio waves, astronomers can see all but about 10% of the sky. What’s on the other side of that 10% is mostly a mystery. Thanks dust, for ruining our view to one of the most beautiful objects in the night sky. I suppose we should thank you for giving us some beautiful nebulae to look at. I guess you’re not all that bad, just get out of my sinuses already. What’s your favorite dark nebula?

Most don t seem to know much about his policies, but they love his energy. Yet when asked about his Prime Ministerial ambitions, he fumbles before coyly deflecting the question: "I ll be an old decrepit man by the time David Cameron relinquishes power".

Subscribe to Naked Science - http://goo.gl/wpc2Q1 Every other Wednesday we present a new video, so join us to see the truth laid bare... Our big brains, the gift of speech, long legs, powerful muscles, and sweat glands for running across the Savanna. Robust thumbs from making and using tools. The coccyx, the remains of our tail from our days spent leaping through the tress in search of fruit. Our finely tuned senses, live birth and parenting, that helped us outwit the dinosaurs. The lungs and limbs that took us onto the land. Our hearts, eyes, bones, and teeth, from our aquatic past. And the DNA in our cells, that emerged in a primeval puddle. We are one of 10 million or more species that have evolved on this planet, all from one single cell that sparked into life over 3 billion years ago. Change one thing, one predator, one lucky mutation, and we wouldn’t be here to tell the tale. Clip from the documentary “Mankind Rising”. Watch it here - http://youtu.be/StqZI9pMq0U

Subscribe to Journeyman for daily current affairs and world news: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=journeymanpictures In a small New York office, casually dressed twenty-somethings gamble thousands with the click of a mouse. On average these day traders keep their volatile shares for just 4½ minutes. It’s a world away from the sweaty hollering of Wall Streets’ New York Stock Exchange. In just one year, 25 year-old Nick Birbas has gone from waiter to laptop legend riding the bull market and earning $10,000 a week. So will the bubble burst? Like many other internet firms Globe.com have yet to turn a profit. In the clubs of Wall Street many believe stocks like theirs have been wildly over-valued. “Old timers like us wait for the day of reckoning,” smirks one analyst. But for now there really seems to be no end to this boom.

Leper Outcasts (1999) - On the streets of India, the outstretched begging hands of those crippled by leprosy is still a common site. Subscribe to Journeyman for daily uploads: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=journeymanpictures While globally medicine has had a major impact in preventing leprosy, it s still proving difficult to eradicate. In a culture that widely considers leprosy as divine intervention, the atonement for past sins, carriers are reluctant to seek treatment until it s too late. And so the government has mobilised an operation to seek out the infected while it s still early enough to prescribe effective treatment. "Looking for cases in the villages is like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack," despairs a doctor, but after screening a phenomenal 200,000 people they have successfully treated 45 new cases of leprosy. Equipped with casebooks cataloguing horrific photos of leper s lesions and withered limbs, the doctors shock villagers into succumbing to the tests, despite the possible humiliation.
