>>> welcome to the show.
>> 2014 was a year of
astonishing breakthroughs.
>> some incredible the likes of
which we have never seen before.
>> we lead this off with an
historic event.
this is a game changer of epic
proportion.
>> captivated the world in one
glorious moment of humanity
conquering space.
>> we are on the comet.
[ cheers and applause ]
>> landing on a comet, a first
in space exploration.
>> we are making history here.
>> this is one for the record
books.
>> we know the world is
watching.
there are people --
>> we did it.
>> mind blowing.
>> not only is it an epic
adventure to chase down a
dragon, grab it by the sail and
ride on its back but also we
will find out about the origins
of the solar system and the
origins perhaps life on the
planet earth --
>> designed to endure a ten
year, 4 billion mile trek, an
orbiter carrying ground breaking
science, high resolution cameras
and giant solar wings to harness
power.
on its back, a washing machine
sized lander, built to fall on
cue anchored down and dig below
the surface of a duck shaped
comet called 67-p.
>> the fact that we will observe
one so closely we have never
done before.
>> up close and along side the
comet moving at 85,000 miles per
hour it comes into focus.
>> this is a cool view i like
really a lot.
>> the international team called
to debate the difficult choice
of where to land.
and then a day ten years in
waiting.
>> history is happening right
here right now.
they just released the lander
from the space craft.
>> this is a very brave moment,
first images taken by the
orbiter.
>> here you go.
>> and after a seven-hour wait
while descends only by the low
gravity of the comet history is
made.
[ cheers and applause ]
>> we definitely confirmed that
the landing is on the surface.
>> everybody there was crying.
it is a fantastic moment.
>> you can't describe it in
words.
truly emotional.
>> i really started to believe
it when i saw the picture.
>> images like these confirming
arrival.
>> image during the lander, this
is the image from my life.
>> it got to the surface but is
it okay?
>> we do not fully understand
what has happened.
the lander may have lifted off
again, touched down and
rebouncing.
so maybe today we didn't just
land once, we even landed twice.
>> it is now known it bounced
and touched down three times
over two hours.
the harpoons that should have
anchored it that were tested
over and over didn't actually
fire.
while the lander did hit the
chosen fate on the first bounce
it travelled well beyond.
>> around 1 kilometer distance
and makes it difficult to find
out where we are now.
>> rosetta still hovering safely
above.
the main camera begins its arial
search.
>> i want to know where it is on
the surface of the comet.
>> only getting an hour of sun
each day, not enough to stay
awake to keep the science going.
it could be hiding in a hole or
in the shadow of a cliff.
there is a hope that on approach
to the sun the lander might
recharge, come back to life.
for now even with contact lost
the dedicated team continues
their mission focused on keeping
rosetta, the orbiter above
tracking the comet towards the
sun.
>> the excitement will be
fantastic.
we will be close to approaching
the sun.
and the activity of the comet
will be unbelievable.
>> dust clouds and jets
everywhere.
>> there could be dramatic
events happening like the comet
breaking up.
>> everything about this mission
is giving and keeping next to
the comet, observing how the
comet changes and getting to
know this comet intimately over
the next year.
>> some things are already
revolutionary.
color images.
hearing the actual sound of
touchdown.
finding out the comet's surface
is hard, likely dust over solid
ice.
this after the hammer's drill
tried to hammer into the core.
and a big finding.
67 p has water but not the same
as the water on the oceans here
on earth.
>> the mission is not over.
for us we continue.
in a couple of years maybe we
are still talking about this
fantastic mission and this
fantastic comet and for more
fantastic science.
>> an unprecedented end,
fantastic story.
>>> we talk about vehicle
breakthroughs in 2014.
this next story is not exactly
what comes to mind.
>> but it did top our list.
we are talking geology, big
engineering, sports cars and
mother nature gone bad.
this story has something for
everybody.
>> for corvette lovers this
museum is their heaven.
now it's their hell.
>> shell shock.
>> i hate to say depressing, but
that is what it is.
>> historic pristine cars put on
a pedestal at america's national
corvette museum swallowed by a
massive sinkhole.
eight are down here, only six
can be seen.
now the big challenge, going in
to get them out.
>> we deal with sinkholes every
day in our part of the country.
we don't deal with them inside a
building all the time and we
definitely don't deal with them
inside a building with a million
dollar group of corvettes.
>> leading the charge, engineer
mike murphy.
>> we have already done test
drilling which gave them the
confidence to bring in the heavy
crane.
>> even still he doesn't make a
move unless he is tethered, with
good reason.
>> if this opens we got to run.
>> samuel is under pressure,
too.
>> i got to go fishing.
>> fishing for priceless
vehicles.
he has to keep it in
perspective.
samuel keeps his eye on the
prize.
>> going down.
>> it's the first ever seen
nicknamed the blue devil, 186
miles per hour plus super car.
as mike keeps a close eye on
samuel everyone is on edge for
the worst case scenario.
>> the fear of anymore
collapses.
>> lasers measure distances
watching for changes in hole
size.
rescue workers keep watch on
workers just in case.
and ground censors are at the
ready to alert at any moment.
>> as long as we don't lose
anymore of the earth if that
happens we shut everything down
and move everybody out.
>> so far so good.
>> the next ones are going to be
tough.
>> no kidding.
this was the lucky one.
last to sink, first to rise.
>> we are going to attempt to
start the blue devil up.
[ cheers and applause ]
>> next, this 1962 former beauty
so well loved the owner checked
the weather while driving so he
wouldn't get caught in the rain.
as samuel hooks it up, mike
starts to get antsy.
>> got us worried more than
anything.
>> they don't know if the
concrete is propping up the car
or if the car is cradling the
concrete.
>> i got it.
>> good to go and just in time.
>> i need someone to watch this
crack.
>> we are off the slab.
>> finally some relief for mike
murphy.
>> get her out of there.
>> pull it tight.
pull it tight.
this one is in far worse shape.
>> she's out, baby.
>> but fans are just happy to
see it out of the hole.
after all, we are talking
classic corvettes here.
>> they represent the american
dream.
everybody remembers the first
corvette that they ever saw.
>> they saved this old girl from
never being seen again, but
others are still here, hopefully
not going anywhere.
>> there are two we don't have
any idea where they are.
>> today was tough.
the next few will be even
tougher.
>> challenge with the next ones
is really the hole.
we've got to secure the walls of
the hole and then we will start
digging, vacuuming the earth
around these cars.
>> for now a little victory over
this monster.
>> i feel a lot more relieved
this afternoon.
>> everyone of those cars has
been excavating.
some like the blue devil are
being completely restored to
their former beauty.
>> the work is not done yet.
now that the corvettes are
fished out the process of
filling in the sinkhole has
begun.
no doubt the idea of fishing for
corvettes is weird but
scientists fishing in the deep
sea found something even more
amazing.
>> almost 600 meters deep in
california's monta ray bay a
creature never before seen on
film.
>> we captured video footage of
a deep sea angler fish, the
first time for this species.
my name is bruce robeson.
angler fish is a deep sea animal
that has a unique way of
attracting and capturing prey.
they have an apparatus on their
forehead like a fishing pole.
at the end of the fishing pole
is a luminous lure that the
animal controls light.
it flashes the light on and off
and then draws back towards its
mouth and lunges forward to
capture whatever is close enough
to be caught.
the best part of my job is that
i get to be a combination of an
explorer and detective.
we scientists sit with the
pilots in a control room aboard
the ship.
someone spotted a dark blob out
in the distance in front of the
vehicle.
suddenly we realized it was
something we had never seen
before, something no one had
ever seen before.
we can learn a deep deal about
deep sea dwellers from what we
have seen.
the animals in the deep ocean
column are most abundant on the
planet.
the more we understand them the
better chance we have of living
harmoniously.
>>> a trick so daring it will
leave you breathless.
we're sky high with the world's
boldest record breakers.
>>> nailed it.
>>> welcome back to "2014: the
year in sci-tech," a year of
world firsts and this year
definitely saw more than its
fair share.
>> from rockets to robots and
free falls to free swingers.
you'll see what i mean in a
second, these record breakers
pushed science to the limit.
>> this is nik wallenda.
with vision gone wallenda is
listening for the thing that
guides him in the right
direction.
he walks away with a new world
record.
three, two, one, jump.
these adrenaline junkies lept
off in dubai.
that is mostly coming out of
their heels.
the wing suits let the jumpers
glide like flying squirrels.
that's a semi and that's a
formula racecar picking up speed
until mike ryan breaks the
record for the longest ramp jump
by a truck.
>> it is the scariest thing we
have done.
i'm speechless at the moment
because i can't believe we have
done it.
>> watch this.
if you can pull that off you
will never have to fight someone
for a parking spot again.
this is breaking the record for
the tightest parallel park.
when he is in position engages
the hand brake and whips the
wheel around and flies right
into the tight squeeze.
carson mass holds record for the
world's longest golf club made
up of eight graphite golf
shafts.
after he hits the ball check how
he controls the club.
sure it is long but his drive is
short.
he can only hit 63 yards, way
less than your average club.
practical?
maybe not.
fun?
definitely.
this is the super speedy runner
breaking record for fastest
running robot.
33 miles per hour.
>> i love robots.
>> the hex runner is special
because it has a self stabilized
mechanism that allows it to run
stably and all stabilities comes
from the geometry of the robot
itself.
>>> a lot of records set here on
earth in 2014 but we launched
into a new era of
record-breaking space travel.
>> the orion space craft will
take humans farther into space
than before.
>> big nerves on this historic
test flight day.
>> here we go.
>> five, four, three, two, one.
and liftoff at dawn.
the dawn of orion and a new era
of american space exploration.
>> i feel it is so important
that you are with it and hoping
every second.
>> astronaut katie coleman is
watching the future of space
travel.
>> orion is the vehicle that
nasa will use and man kind will
use to explore the solar system.
>> the rocket's central core
first lifts to low earth orbit
on a mission called exploration
test flight one testing to take
humans to other worlds.
>> to add to our understanding
of how the vehicle operates in
space and for us to buy down the
risks.
>> the stakes are high.
as soon as seven years from now
orion will carry a crew.
>> i would love to be on that
ride.
>> separation.
>> and we have ignition.
>> the first critical point in
the flight.
>> we need to get off of the
vehicle so that the solar rays
radiators can be exposed and
start operating.
>> the explosive bolts fire just
fine.
>> if you don't get the ferings
off you can't achieve your
mission.
>> missions like asteroid
redirect, plan to send orion
farther out than anyone has gone
before.
to talk with a robot space craft
that captured a small asteroid.
the crew will collect samples
that might unlock secrets about
the birth of the solar system.
the surp stage motor burns again
boosting orion to an altitude
not gone to.
one goal is to test in a
radiation belt.
>> if you were to floi your
iphone it would lock up and not
recover.
we don't have that luxury.
our computers have to work.
that is how you get the vehicle
back home safely.
>> the other reason orion flies
so high is to build up massive
speed when it comes down 20,000
miles per hour so engineers can
see how the heat shield holds up
on a deep space return.
>> orion has to burn off twice
the amount of energy as a space
shuttle.
we have a lot more heat.
that friction is our way of
breaking on our way back in so
we are not slamming back into
the earth.
>> the shield heats up to twice
as hot as molten lava.
the crew module slows to about
half the speed of a passenger
jet.
>> re-acquired signal from
orion.
this view from the unpiloted air
borne vehicle over the splash
down zone.
>> and then we start going
through our parachute sequence.
>> one of the reasons to slow
down gradually is that any
sudden changes in velocity are
going to be very tough
structurally on the capsule.
>> the capsule nears its target
off the coast of baja,
california, now moving at about
18 miles per hour.
>> totally excited.
the three of us standing there
together wish we had been on
board.
>> the engineers want to see how
the capsule structure handles
the impact.
they tested it before on the
ground.
it has to keep its seal and
protect the crew.
>> we have splash down.
>> appears to be in good shape.
uss anchorage is on scene to
recover it.
and the information in its data
recorder.
for future orion missions nasa
is building a massive new
rocket, the space launch system.
>> i think the people riding
will be the luckiest people in
the entire world.
they are going to go further
than we have been in so long to
a place that i think we are
meant to be.
>> the future crews return
safely it will be due to lessons
learned during flight tests like
this one.
>> there is your new space
craft, america.
>> a mystery that remains
unsolved.
how can we lose an aircraft with
so many people on board?
>> how search teams are using
science to track down a missing
plane.
>>> welcome back. it is becoming one of the biggest mysteries of our time,
the disappearance of malaysia
airlines flight 370.
>> you wouldn't believe the
amount of science and technology
that has gone into the search
for this missing airliner.
>> it is the biggest and most
challenging search in aviation
history.
dozens of ships and planes from
26 countries all coming together
to find a plane that vanished.
>> on a day where you can pull
out your cell phone and know
where you are in a few feet or
meters how can we lose an
aircraft with so many people on
board.
>> takes off on a routine
voyage.
>> it was steady in altitude and
air speed.
>> within an hour the plane
loses contact with ground
control.
satellites continue tracking
automated pings.
investigators discover the plane
flew east and then turned around
heading out into the indian
ocean.
the question is why?
>> it is very evident that the
reverse in course that that was
a deliberate action.
it wasn't something that would
have been programmed for any of
the flight path data that would
have been initially put in by
the pilots.
>> satellites track the plane
for seven hours to an area 1,585
miles west of australia.
>> they are gambling everything
on the mathematical calculations
of that one satellite.
and the only way we will know
for sure is to find that
aircraft.
>> the ocean here is vast and
uncharted.
we know more about mars than we
do about these waters.
>> people just don't realize how
difficult and different under
water exploration really is.
there is no gps.
we have to bring our own
navigation.
we have to bring our own power.
i mean, that is why to this date
we have only explored about 7%
of the world beneath the sea.
>> three weeks after the plane
goes missing, a break.
>> satellites spot possible
debris, but it's not from the
plane.
then, almost a month in, a
hopeful sound.
acoustic sonar picks up possible
beacon signals from the plane's
black box.
>> to the realm of trying to
find the black box.
>> the search intensifies.
beacons only last about 30 days.
time is almost up.
to locate it they send in a
submersible capable of diving
15,000 feet to scan the sea
floor.
>> the primary search equipment
consists of a toad pinger
locater and under water vehicle.
once we have an identified
starting point then we put in
the pinger locater and try to
box in where the strongest
signal strength from the pinger
locater is.
unfortunately, the pings turned
out to be fictitious.
they weren't coming from either
of the black boxes.
only recently did we realize
that was probably something like
shark tagging going on out
there.
it was incredibly frustrating
experience.
for the families it brought hope
that we were a day or two away
from locating that aircraft.
>> three months in the search
widens to an area the size of
australia.
before they can tackle the zone
they have to map the ocean
floor.
>> it is a very hostile
environment.
you have this jagged terrain and
peaks and valleys that can go to
depths of 22,000 feet.
some of the roughest terrain on
the planet.
once you get down several miles
you could be on top of a
mountain range as rugged as any
mountain range on earth.
>> six months later new ships
join the hunt for the missing
plane.
they are equipped with multi
beam sonar systems that can map
much larger areas of the ocean
floor even faster.
crews on board work 24/7 in
shifts hoping to spot a piece of
debris.
>> you are out there looking for
something that you are hoping to
see but may never see.
>> the worst thing that could
happen is to go over the debris
field and not realize you have
actually found it.
there is nothing in the game
plan that allows you to go back
and go over that part of the
ocean again.
>> less than 20% of the search
zone has been mapped so far.
it's our first look into this
unexplored part of the world.
but will we find mh 370?
>> we may never know exactly
what happened.
>> not a single shred of
evidence, of physical evidence
that a plane went down anywhere
near the southern indian ocean.
the technology exists to find
the ship or plane no matter how
deep in the world's ocean today.
there is no reason why it can't
be found.
it is a matter of time and good
luck.
>>> an ancient virus.
>> it could be as old as 80
million years.
>> spreads across the globe.
>> very quickly went out of
control.
>> are new vaccines the answer?
>> we can stop ebola.
>> that's next.
>>> welcome back. in 2014 an outbreak of ebola, a deadly viral disease took hold
in west africa and fear spread
throughout the planet.
>> disease detectives were
forced into action trying to
solve the mystery of how it
struck and how to contain it.
>> it arrived suddenly.
i have seen people with fever,
diarrhea and vomiting.
>> somebody gets sick and in a
week they can be dead.
>> ebola is one of the deadliest
viral diseases we know about.
the outbreak is the largest
recorded in history.
>> eight countries affected so
far on three different
continents but west africa is
the wildcard.
>> we have never seen an ebola
outbreak in this region or this
scale.
to be perfectly honest we don't
know what is going to happen
next.
>> it's a disease that ravages
the body.
>> blood vessels become leaky.
you start to get coagulation of
the blood.
this leads to high blood
pressure and results in things
like severe shock, organ failure
and as many as 70% of the cases
that we are seeing in west
africa, it can result in death.
>> so what is this mysterious
virus and where does it come
from?
>> ebola is what we call a
filamentous virus.
under a microscope it looks like
a question mark.
once you are exposed to virus
particles they enter your system
and recognize a particular type
of target cell.
ebola virus makes hundreds of
little copies of itself and once
the cell fills up with the
little copies it bursts and more
and more viral particles filter
out into the body.
although ebola is only known to
cause disease in humans since
1976 it is a much older virus.
scientists have estimated it
could be as old as 80 million
years.
where has it been all this time?
the answer seems to be bats, in
particular a species of fruit
bats.
>> carriers of the virus they
infect neighboring primates like
monkeys and gorillas who pass it
on to humans.
in the past geography was the
best and often the only defense.
>> when ebola gets into say a
small village in central africa
it will spread quickly
throughout the village and stop
there.
the fact that that village might
have no other villages around it
for many kilometers serves as a
quarantine.
>> this time the outbreak is in
a densely popular area and
spreading quickly.
health care workers are
overwhelmed.
by late summer the number of
cases spirals.
there are more deaths reported
from this outbreak than all
previous ones combined.
>> very quickly reached the
point where it went out of
control.
it really was inevitable that at
some point ebola would get into
north america, that it would get
into europe.
it was just a question of where
and when.
>> an individual traveling from
liberia has been diagnosed with
ebola in the united states.
>> it's the first confirmed case
in the u.s. and the first real
test of the health care system's
ability to deal with the threat.
>> there were a lot of
mysteries.
it was a lot of unknown.
as the first case in dallas
unfolded, as the two nurses that
were infected were successfully
treated people started to
realize that ebola was perhaps
not as big a risk to them as
they might have thought.
we can kill the virus with soap.
we can kill the virus with a 10%
bleach dilushen.
we can protect health care
workers by giving appropriate
protective equipment.
we can stop ebola but we can
only stop it if we have the
appropriate resources.
>> in late fall a turning point.
new treatment centers and more
crucial front line staff are
sent in to help.
but will it be enough?
>> we don't know what will
happen next.
we don't know if this virus will
keep simmering in this region
for years and years and years.
we don't know if it will
disappear and reappear 25 years
from now.
but the hope is that we will be
better prepared.
>> right now scientists are
developing treatments and
vaccines that could help prevent
future outbreaks and save lives.
>> next step would be to roll
them out into people in some of
the ebola effected areas and
some that aren't effected and
start to look at are these
vaccines capable of preventing
ebola virus disease.
>> if successful the real
challenge will be to get the
vaccines to the people who need
them most before it's too late.
>> it willmitate.
so another question is how long
will these vaccines be
effective?
really our goal when it comes to
outbreaks is to prevent them
from happening in the first
place.
i think our best hope is
vaccines.
>> there are currently three
vaccines in development, two of
them have shown promise in small
groups and will be headed to the
next phase of trial among larger
groups of tens of thousands of
people in communities at risk in
africa.
>>> when the lava is this close
you have to stay one step ahead.
>> it is a very powerful thing.
>> that's next.
>>> volcano erupting in one form or another for 31 years. in 2014 a new unstoppable lava
flow is swallowing up everything
in its path on hawaii's big
island.
>> scientists are scrambling to
get in front of the flow with
the latest in technology.
>> watching the active volcano
from a distance is captivating,
mystifying, but seeing lava up
close --
>> your senses are heightened,
smoke and steam rising.
there is red lava which is
moving and is alive.
you are watching the earth being
created.
>> for communities in the path
of the lava flow it's like a
dragon on their door step.
this new flow from the volcano
has been erupting since june
2014 with no end in sight.
ryan and his team from the
university of hawaii want to
know where it is going next.
>> 400 yards in a single day and
other days where it has
completely stalled out.
predicting when it is going to
cross a major artery and cut off
about 10,000 people from the
rest of the island, that is
very, very difficult.
>> they are using uavs to map
the flow in real time.
>> we are able to get a very
high resolution understanding of
what the lava flow is doing over
time in a way that hasn't been
able to be done before.
>> with the lava inching closer
every day they have to move
fast.
>> just a few days ago the lava
flow took out its first house.
right now the transfer station
which is the waste and recycling
center is being overrun by the
lava flow.
it is starting to damage
infrastructure.
people are very concerned.
>> the team heads out to replace
crucial markers to tell them how
quickly the lava is moving and
spreading.
>> if you stay in any one place
for too long your boots might
start melting.
>> hidden dangers are
everywhere.
>> there are methane explosions.
>> at any moment the ground
could give way.
back at mission control the team
prepares for launch.
>> the way that you launch the
plane is you shake it three
times, propeller starts moving.
you hold it at a 15 degree angle
and release it.
it will start its pattern for
the flight.
>> the uav flies about 500 feet
or 150 meters high in a grid
pattern kind of like a lawn
mower.
>> the primary thing we are
looking for in the photos that
we collect are new breakouts and
changes since the last time that
we flew.
>> we are enroute to the first
point.
just a few more pictures and
they can call it a day.
>> just in time for the rain.
>> he uploads the photos into a
software program that stitches
them together.
>> it is called an ortho mosaic.
with ground control information
we get a very beautiful and
interesting high detailed large
photo of the mission area.
>> he creates a 3 d model for an
even more detailed view.
but predicting where the lava
will go next is the main
challenge.
>> when the lava first breaks
out it is very thin.
it's barely up to your shin.
but as time passes that material
starts to inflate and it starts
to rise like a cake.
>> it then spills over and
splinters off into fingers
spreading like veins over the
landscape.
>> now, because we are able to
fly multiple times a day if we
like we are able to actually
capture that inflation from
looking at the top graphic data
sets.
>> that information lets crews
stay one step ahead of the lava
keeping communities safe at
least for now.
>> a very powerful thing.
>>> coming up -- want a new car?
you've got it.
the future of technology just a
