00:00:04.667 --> 00:00:05.767
- FOR FULL ENJOYMENT

00:00:05.767 --> 00:00:07.433
OF THE 3-D SEGMENT
OF THE FOLLOWING VIDEO,

00:00:07.433 --> 00:00:09.266
YOU'LL NEED A PAIR
OF RED AND BLUE 3-D GLASSES,

00:00:09.266 --> 00:00:10.433
LIKE THESE.

00:00:10.433 --> 00:00:11.867
FOR SOURCES OF THESE GLASSES,

00:00:11.867 --> 00:00:14.600
DO AN INTERNET SEARCH
FOR "ANAGLYPH 3D GLASSES."

00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:18.400
TO MAKE YOUR OWN 3-D GLASSES,
GO TO THE NASA E-CLIPS WEBSITE.

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:20.500
CLICK ON "TECHNOLOGY TOOLS"
AND FOLLOW THE LINK

00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:23.100
AND SCROLL DOWN TO FIND
THE TEMPLATE FOR 3-D GLASSES.

00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:25.567
THIS LINK WILL TAKE YOU
TO THE NASA STEREO WEBSITE,

00:00:25.567 --> 00:00:27.100
WHICH HAS
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:28.433
FOR MAKING THE GLASSES.

00:00:28.433 --> 00:00:30.667
BE SURE TO KEEP THE RED LENS
ON YOUR LEFT EYE

00:00:30.667 --> 00:00:32.467
AND THE BLUE LENS
ON YOUR RIGHT EYE.

00:00:32.467 --> 00:00:34.333
THEN WATCH FOR THE 3-D ICON

00:00:34.333 --> 00:00:36.834
SIGNALING WHEN IT IS TIME
TO PUT ON YOUR GLASSES.

00:00:38.433 --> 00:00:44.433
[dramatic percussion music]

00:00:52.433 --> 00:00:54.300
- HEY, WELCOME
TO "NASA LAUNCHPAD."

00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:56.333
I'M YOUR HOST,
AUDREY STAPLES.

00:00:56.333 --> 00:00:58.100
IF YOU'VE STUCK WITH US
FOR A WHILE,

00:00:58.100 --> 00:01:01.200
YOU'LL REMEMBER US TALKING
ABOUT LUNAR ANALOG TESTING

00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.433
NASA HAS DONE
AT MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON,

00:01:03.433 --> 00:01:06.433
LUNAR BECAUSE--WELL, BECAUSE
THEY'RE TESTING TECHNOLOGY

00:01:06.433 --> 00:01:07.900
THAT COULD BE USED
ON THE MOON,

00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:09.934
AND ANALOG
BECAUSE THE CONDITIONS

00:01:09.934 --> 00:01:13.233
AROUND THE TESTING ARE SIMILAR
TO THOSE ON THE MOON,

00:01:13.233 --> 00:01:14.867
SO IT'S LIKE AN ANALOGY.

00:01:14.867 --> 00:01:17.600
HEY, YOU JUST GOT
A MINI ENGLISH LESSON THERE.

00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:19.734
BUT MOSES LAKE
ISN'T THE ONLY PLACE

00:01:19.734 --> 00:01:21.700
NASA DOES ANALOG TESTING.

00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:25.066
THEY ALSO DO IT IN PLACES
LIKE HAWAII OR EVEN UNDERWATER.

00:01:25.066 --> 00:01:26.934
AND THEN THERE'S DESERT RATS.

00:01:26.934 --> 00:01:30.767
NO, NOT RODENTS--WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THE DESERT RESEARCH

00:01:30.767 --> 00:01:33.066
AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES
FIELD TEST,

00:01:33.066 --> 00:01:35.533
WHICH TAKES PLACE
NEAR BLACK POINT LAVA FLOW

00:01:35.533 --> 00:01:36.834
IN ARIZONA.

00:01:36.834 --> 00:01:41.433
SO AT D-RATS 2009, YOU MIGHT SEE
A FEW FAMILIAR SIGHTS:

00:01:41.433 --> 00:01:45.500
THE CHARIOT ROBOTIC ROVER
WITH ITS LANCE BLADE ATTACHMENT

00:01:45.500 --> 00:01:47.200
OR TRI-ATHLETE,
A MODIFIED VERSION

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.934
OF THE ATHLETE
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE.

00:01:49.934 --> 00:01:51.867
AND THEN THERE'S THIS BAD BOY,

00:01:51.867 --> 00:01:55.000
THE LUNAR ELECTRIC ROVER,
OR L.E.R.

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.934
IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE OLD ROVERS
USED IN THE APOLLO MISSIONS,

00:01:57.934 --> 00:02:02.300
EXCEPT THE L.E.R. HAS A CABIN,
SO ASTRONAUTS CAN SIT INSIDE

00:02:02.300 --> 00:02:06.166
WITHOUT HAVING TO WEAR
THOSE BULKY SPACE SUITS.

00:02:06.166 --> 00:02:08.934
IN FACT, THERE ARE EVEN BEDS
AND A BATHROOM,

00:02:08.934 --> 00:02:11.633
SO ASTRONAUTS COULD ACTUALLY
LIVE IN THE L.E.R.

00:02:11.633 --> 00:02:13.433
FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

00:02:13.433 --> 00:02:15.266
THAT'S WHAT ASTRONAUT
MIKE GERNHARDT

00:02:15.266 --> 00:02:18.233
AND GEOLOGIST BRENT GARRY DID
AT DESERT RATS.

00:02:18.233 --> 00:02:21.300
THEY LIVED IN THE L.E.R.
FOR 14 STRAIGHT DAYS

00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:25.033
TO TEST THE HUMAN FACTORS
OF LIVING IN A CONFINED SPACE

00:02:25.033 --> 00:02:26.633
FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

00:02:26.633 --> 00:02:29.900
I COULD TALK ABOUT THE COOL
STUFF AT D-RATS ALL DAY.

00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:32.934
BUT I'D RATHER SHOW YOU
A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON IT.

00:02:32.934 --> 00:02:35.500
SO GRAB YOUR RED AND BLUE
3-D GLASSES

00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:39.300
AND CHECK OUT THIS 3-D FOOTAGE
CAPTURED BY "NASA 360"

00:02:39.300 --> 00:02:41.467
AT DESERT RATS 2009.

00:02:41.467 --> 00:02:44.066
AND, HEY, IF YOU DON'T HAVE
ANY 3-D GLASSES,

00:02:44.066 --> 00:02:45.700
IT'S SIMPLE TO MAKE YOUR OWN.

00:02:45.700 --> 00:02:48.467
YOU'LL NEED SOME RED AND BLUE
TRANSPARENT ACETATE,

00:02:48.467 --> 00:02:51.133
WHICH YOU CAN FIND
AT A LOCAL ART OR CRAFT STORE,

00:02:51.133 --> 00:02:54.533
AND THE DIRECTIONS FOUND
ON THE NASA E-CLIPS WEBSITE.

00:02:54.533 --> 00:02:55.533
READY?

00:02:58.767 --> 00:03:03.300
- YOU'RE WATCHING "NASA 360"
IN 3-D!

00:03:03.300 --> 00:03:09.300
[upbeat rock music]

00:05:13.567 --> 00:05:15.300
