At TFL, we're making journeys safer for everyone, and that includes improving safety on London's roads.

0:07.4

That's why we and London boroughs are lowering more speed limits to 20 miles per hour,

0:12.3

because 20 miles per hour roads have already reduced collisions resulting in deaths or

0:16.8

serious injuries by 24%. That is how we're making journeys in London safer and brighter for everyone.

0:24.8

Such TFL improvement plan to the Mayor of London and TFL every journey matters.

This is CBSI in the world. I'm John Bass with Bob Zimmerman. He keeps the website

0:39.0

behind the black. Axiom, raise in money. What is Axiom Bob? Axiom is one of the, I don't know, five

0:45.9

American companies or consortiums that are building private commercial specifications. Axiom has already

0:52.4

flown passengers to ISS several times. They've got another one coming before the end of this year,

1:00.2

and one next year, but they're planning to build modules that they'll attach to IS that will

1:06.0

eventually comprise an independent station that'll fly independent of ISS. And because they're

1:17.4

they have now in a funding round raised another $350 million in private investment capital,

1:24.6

much of it coming from the Middle East. That has tripled the amount of private capital

1:29.9

they had obtained in total. This company is going places, John, and I think that they're

1:36.9

going to be one of the first in orbit of a space station privately owned. Their station

1:42.5

attaches to ISS initially in 26, the first module. They'll add more modules to it. I've got the

1:48.0

assembly sequence graphic up on behind the black. Once it's all completely assembled, attach to ISS,

1:53.6

it would then be in a position to detach when ISS is retired and run independently. And of course,

1:59.7

there are four others, maybe five other American stations on the construction of flying independently,

2:04.8

so we're going to have a lot of space stations up there, John. All right, I think we have two commercial

2:08.4

outfits here. Red wire and sear space. Let's start with sear space. What is that?
