Transcripts For CNN The Whole Story With Anderson Cooper 20240916

Hello and welcome to all our viewers watching from Around The World. On an occurrent ahead on Cnn Newsroom mission, completes the Polaris Dawn Crew was splashdown in the Gulf Of Mexico, just minutes from now after a history making It Spaceflight Doubling down on fear and conspiracy, Donald Trump speaks of an immigrant to the takeover after spreading falsehoods about migrants eating pets and missile launched from Yemen Lands in central israel, setting off Air Raid sirens and sending residents running for shelter by from Hong Kong this is Cnn Newsroom with Anna Coren we are just minutes away and counting down to splashdown of the historic Polaris Dawn Mission, spacex is just provided video of the crew and the spaceship as it heads Down To Earth. And we are looking at live pictures with the astronauts in their seats in the Nose Cone closing, the civilian crew of the Spacex Rocket lifted off on tuesday, looking to a new era in commercial Space Travel and exploration. Theyve been farther from the earth, than any humans since the apollo astronauts, more than 50 hes a ago. Theyve become the first commercial crew to walk in space a little while ago, they started the Deorbit Engine burn and as we say, a closed the Nose Cone or Recovery Ship is waiting in the Gulf Of Mexico for their arrival. Will cnns brian able has more on this historic mission and what it means as for the future of Space Exploration the significance of this mission, it cannot be overstated both for how it moves the ball closer to deeper exploration of space like missions to mars, but also for what it means for civilians getting to Experience Space at this level. Space X Mission Control erupting in cheers as the hatch of the Crew Dragon Capsule opens, exposing the four Crew Members inside to the vacuum of space over the following two hours, Billionaire Tech Ceo jared Issacman And Spacex engineers Sarah Gillis, complete The Worlds first commercial spacewalk for about ten minutes each from outside the capsule, Issacman Taking in views of Earth Passing by some 450 miles below your home. We all have a lot of work to do, but from here works or like a Perfect World the Mission Commander also bending and stretching this Space Dance meant to test how their suits move. No one has ever used this Space Suit out in space before. It opens up a whole new capability. We havent had a new Space Suit and over 40 years. So all the latest technology since then, integrated into a new tech suit, former internet national Space Station Commander Chris Hatfield says Thursdays Mission opens the door to exciting new opportunities. This Spacex Capsule has never gone down to the zero Pressure Vacuum of space before testing the hatches and all the equipment inside that everything worked and this historic mission surpass a few records including the first spacewalk of nongovernment astronauts, the highest orbit around earth, the first time for astronauts or simultaneously exposed to the vacuum of space, also the two women of the crew becoming the first ever to travel so far from our planet and the farthest any human has traveled from earth since the Apollo Program ended in 1972. In washington, im brian able reporting im joined live now by Cnn Aerospace Analyst Miles Obrien and Janet Ivey of the national Space Board of governors. Great to have you both with a miles, lets start with you. What can we anticipate over the next 30 or so minutes for the Polaris Dawn to see them reenter the atmosphere of earth and that is a very critical moment for any space mission. Of course the temperatures on the outside will be on the order of 2000 Degrees Celsius and you want to make sure the crew inside is protected from that. So there is a Heat Shield beneath them. Its called an ablative Heat Shield, meaning pieces of it sort of burn away as they come in dissipating the heat and the spacex Dragon Capsule as flown. Now, 54 times and it has, excuse me, 14 times with 54 people on board without any problems. So we shouldnt expect moment of emission when they come home at 336 eastern. That is when we are expecting splashdown in the Gulf Of Mexico, just off the coast of florida. And we are looking at live pictures of spacexs Mission Control jets but talk us through the risks of the Polaris Dawn, returning to earth and that splashed down off the coast of florida well, like he was saying that the capsule itself is feeling over 2000 Degrees Celsius. And its, its hurdling alon. You have to come in at just the right angle and trajectory. But the most amazing thing is that by the time those parachute here shoots deploy, and it is actually Splashing Down in the ocean. That spacecraft has gone from Traveling Thousands of miles an hour to go and only go about 20 miles an hour. And then its up to the folks who go out there get that capsule. But i think for this particular crew, most of the risk is over. They are just now calculating everything to perfection, to reenter the earths atmosphere. Its been an incredible mission to watch by this all civilian crew it is quite extraordinary, isnt it . Because many experts was saying there was so many risks involved in this mission and yet as you say, they are 30 minutes exactly to returning miles. Explain to me what the crew the four for four Crew Members, two men, two women, would be experiencing right now well theyre going to be experiencing this something they had felt for about five days, slowly but surely the effects of gravity as they were in orbit though the microgravity is a different place as you kind of float around in a free fall, essentially but as that speed dissipates from about 28,000 kilometers per hour to about 20. In a short period of time theyre going to start feeling some additional forces. We call them G Forces as they come in. And gforces her just a multiple of actual gravity so to three times the force of gravity as they start feeling the effects coming down. So they will, itll be a little bit of awakening after theyve had that. The blissful five days and floating around. But mostly what they do at this point on the draft i can capsule is monitor systems. Its an automated Aircraft Or Spacecraft in almost every way. Janet, this mission, as you said earlier, it has been an absolute success. Talk us through what they have achieved i mean, its like when you start talking milestones, i mean, theyve gone now further than any spacecraft has ever flown from earth, surpassing gemini 11, 853 miles above the earth to 875 miles a woman has actually don for a spacewalk at this incredible kind of like you know, above the earth that many miles two women have gone now further than any two women have ever gone away from earth in orbit. Weve seen spacewalks by an all civilian crew. And the quote that you guys played were jeering here it kinda comes up in his E Aggressing for the first time and you see that beautiful blue thin line of our atmosphere. And he goes you know, i know things are not perfect down there, but from up here it looks like a Perfect World. Theyve tested out even kind of like the starlinks lasers, and being down music, series of violinist. And so we get to hear this beautiful star Wars Thing that musicians from Around The World. But more importantly, theyve tested out some amazing things for Health And Safety of future astronauts from ultrasounds to gathering how much radiation as they traveled through the Van Allen Radiation belts. Theyre going to provide biological samples towards multi Omics Analysis for longterm effects of being in microgravity. In this kind of spheres of radiation and again, theyre going to be even kind of like looking further into that neural ocular syndrome, which a lot in microgravity, all those fluids of the body put a lot of pressure on that acip. Itll bone causing headaches causing some vision problems. So the things that all 36 experiments are too many to really name, they have really set the bar so high that the future of Space Exploration really is looking at this moment as an acceleration of things to come for Humanitys Place in space, were just looking at the clock now, 26 minutes until splashdown malls and they were concerns at the beginning that private citizens what up for the mission, what business did they have . Being up in spice considering they were not professional astronauts, does this mission and its success perhaps silence the critics and the deltas . Well im sure it will, but if you look at their resume, zana, these are not people who just kind of walked in randomly off the street in and strapped themselves into a rocket Jared Issacman, the billionaire who wrote the check to make this all happen. And you got to hand it to Elon Musk for finding a way not to have to pay a commander. Instead, its the opposite. He writes a big check to for the privilege. But hes got 7,000 hours of Aviation Experience he owned say, a smaller model of Fighter Jets that he flies in tight formation with the pilot beside him, who is Kidd Poteet a former thunderbirds for its pilot for the Air Force, and the two women are Senior Engineers at spacex involved in Crew Training and design of spacecrafts. So these are people who are very much a message to The World of Aviation And Space and have a tremendous amount of experience and i think what we say that theyre quote unquote civilian. It makes It Sound like theyre dilettantes and tourists, but these are very accomplished individuals who happen to be there on a private dime as opposed to nasa now i wasnt bryan Janet Ivey. We certainly appreciate you putting it all into perspective for us. Well come back to both of you for our live coverage of the splashdown now, in just 24 minutes well, still to come here on Cnn Newsroom, Donald Trump doubles down his falsehoods and Fear Mongering about immigration.

Im a little freaked out. Its one thing to freak out about. Its higher insurance rather have tend to deal with that not you but the zebra does, we can pay over 100 Insurance Companies to find savings. No one else can up to 400 a year oh, look, its my stop we we do the searching. Y the saving approaching in the u. S now just about seven weeks away, Kamala Harris spoke at an event On Saturday, hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus in washington, dc alongside president Joe Biden. She criticized Donald Trump for his failure to outline his Health Care plans during Tuesdays President ial debate. And present and biden denounced the republican nominee for spreading falsehoods and fear about immigrants shares evergrande, black and brown immigrants poison the blood of our country right now his Running Mate is attacking her re, haitianamericans and ohio its wrong. Its got to stop any president should reject hate america. I insight, not excited well, cnns Eva Mckend was there at the event and filed this report the Vice President applauding members of the Congressional Black Caucus for their vision. As she outlines her vision for a Harris Administration are talking about the economy and reproductive rights healthcare, needling the former president , arguing the democrats have a plan for Health Care and not just concepts of a plan. That of course was a comment that the former president made during the debate. But ultimately, harris, using the platform as a Call To Action leaning on members of the cbc and their allies to do all they could to turn out the vote generations of americans before us lead the Fight For Freedom and for the future and now, the baton is in our hands i truly believe that america is ready to turn the page on the politics of Division And Hate and to do it our nation is counting on the leadership in this room and the Vice President picks up with an aggressive Campaign Schedule this week in a tour of the Blue Wall states hell make stops this week in pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin Eva Mckend, cnn, washington who may well, former president Donald Trump was campaigning in nevada over the weekend. He met with local Law Enforcement officials in Las Vegas On Saturday, and he once again stoked fear of Immigrants Trump also denied knowing about the Bomb Threats that have triggered evacuations at two schools. And the City Hall in springfield, ohio last week, the threads came after false and offensive claims by trump and his campaign about haitian immigrants eating pets in springfield police and local officials have said that is no truth to those claims. Cnns Alayna Treene breaks down Donald Trumps comments and they context On Saturday, Donald Trump made a brief visit to the Las Vegas Police Protective Association where he thanked local Law Enforcement on the ground and he also lobbed attacks at Vice President sitting Kamala Harris and falsely claimed that she has no support from us Law Enforcement. But what i found interesting was when a reporter asked him at the end, there about whether he denounced he says some of the Bomb Threats that have been reported in springfield, ohio, they have led to two consecutive days of evacuations in schools. And this comes after both Donald Trump, but also his Running Mate j. D. Vance, have been spreading and promoting these rumors about haitian migrants eating their pets. Rumors that we know the republican governor of ohio the police chief, the mayor of springfield, have all said are made in without evidence. I want you to listen to what he said do you should ounce the Bomb Threats in springfield, ohio i dont know what happened with the Bomb Threats. I know that its been taken over by illegal migrants and thats a terrible thing that happened. Springfield was this beautiful town and now theyre going through hell. Its a sad thing, not going to happen with me. I can tell you right now. Okay. So a few things there. One is that he said that the city of springfield has been taken over by illegal immigrants. Just to note, many of the migrants in springfield, ohio are there legally they have temporary detective status, but the other part of this as well is that he said he didnt know anything about these threats. However, on friday, ill reporter asked him during a Press Conference in Los Angeles typically about these Bomb Threats. I want you to listen to that exchange as well. Mayor of springfield, ohio, the police chief, the republican governor of ohio of all debunk this story about people eating pets. Another Bomb Threats at school when kids being evacuated. Why do you still spreading . No, notice, no store. The real threat is whats happening at our border. Because you have thousands of people being killed by illegal migrants coming in okay, so a few things to break down there. One is that some of these Bomb Threats have been happening after Donald Trump and his Running Mate, j. D. Vance, have continued to promote these rumors about haitian migrants in the city eating their pets, even though the mayor of springfield, the republican governor of ohio, as well as the Citys Police Streep have all said that theres no evidence for those claims, but i think The Big Picture and just to take a step back here about why Donald Trump is talking about this is because it fits into his rhetoric regarding the allegations that michael rents, whether theyre here legally or illegally, are engaging in acts of violence and criminal activity. Now, this is all kind of rhetoric that we know he has used the lead up to 2016 as well as in 2020, really trying to stoke fears about undocumented immigrants in this country. When ive talked to Donald Trumps advisers about this, as well as people most of the former president , they say whether or not these rumors in springville end up being true. Its gotten people talking about it. So keep that in mind as we continue to cover them. Alayna treene, cnn, Las Vegas venezuela is accusing the cia of orchestrating a plot to assassinate president nicolas maduro. And other top officials. It says to destabilize the country after he disputed president ial election in a News Conference venezuelas Interior Minister said 400 us rifles were seized and six foreigners were arrested, including a us Navy Seal and two other americans. The u. S. State department calls venezuelas accusations, quote, categorically false it says the us continues to support a democratic solution to the countrys political crisis on both sides are back home after the latest Prisoner Swap between Russia And Ukraine says more than 100 ukrainians released On Saturday had been held captive since the early months of the war among them, a soldiers who fought in the brutal three months of battle for the city of mariupol more than two years ago there were exchange for the same number of russians who are captured in ukraines recent incursion into the kursk region. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is crediting that operation for bringing the ukrainian troops home. Their cards close to the best over Ukraines Request to use western supplied missiles for strikes deeper inside russia. President Joe Biden and prime Minister Keir Starmer didnt make any announcements about the issue after their talks in washington on friday, but as Cnns Kevin Liptak pause the discussions are far from over President Biden is expressing new openness to allow Ukraine To Fire Western longrange missiles deep into russian territory. This is a step that he has long resisted, but the fact that he is open to it now really speaks to the enormous amount of pressure that he is facing not only from the Ukrainian President , Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but also from senior members of congress here in the united states, including some democrats on the senate foreign Relations Committee to ease some of these restrictions that the president has placed not only on american weapons, but also weapons from the United Kingdom and france. And this was a topic of discussion between President Biden and the british prime Minister Keir Starmer here at the White House on friday, when you talk to american officials, they do say they still have some concerns about taking this step. Some of the concerns are practical. You heard this from the Defense Secretary Lloyd austin, who said that a number of highvalue russian targets have already been moved out of range of these missiles. You also hear concerns about escalation and certainly that has been a front of President Bidens mind every time a new capability comes on the table when it comes to ukraine. And certainly we have heard the russian president Vladimir Putin ratcheting up his rhetoric saying that if President Biden takes this step, it would mean that russia is directly at war with nato in his meeting with keir starmer, President Biden i didnt reacted to those comments. Listen to what he said what do you say . What president i dont think much about fap flatter. Now, neither leader emerged from those talks with the decision or an announcement and we had been told ahead of time that that wasnt expected, but we did hear from Kursk Starmer later that a decision could be coming within a matter of weeks. He said this is a discussion that would be continued at the United Nations General Assembly talks later this month, we do know that President Zelenskyy will meet with President Biden on the margins of those talks. Of course, looming in the backdrop of all of this is the american election and former president trumps stance on ukraine. He was asked at the debate last week whether he would support ukraine and he declined multiple times to say that he was committed to ukrainian victory. And we knew talk to officials in europe and the united states, they make clear that they want to do everything they can possibly do to position ukraine for victory before novembers election.

We are just moments away from another milestone in the commercialization of outer space. The private Polaris Dawn Mission capsule from spacex is expected to splash down in the Gulf Of Mexico off the Florida Coast within minutes, you are now watching live pictures leading up to the splashdown. The all civilian crew includes Mission Commander Jared Issacman, mission pilot, Kidd Poteet Mission specialists. Sarah gillis and a Mission Specialist and medical officer anna mennon. Will issacman is a billionaire who financed the fleiss. Were waiting for the parachutes to deploy that should happen in the next few minutes and then a Recovery Ship is on standby to take the astronauts off the capsule and pull the spaceship out of the water. Cnn Space And Defense correspondent, Kristin Fisher sat down with the crew before they took off. They explained what the mission means to them and why its so important they sex is Polaris Dawn Mission funded in part by Billionaire Businessman and philanthropist Jared Issacman, Who First flew to space three years ago as commander of Spacexs Inspiration for the first all civilian mission to orbit. Jared. Some people are going to see the headlines and say, oh, this is just another billionaire going on a Joy Ride to space. But what you are doing is actually quite different connotation is often negative, but in reality it is just people taking resources that are lucky enough to accumulate in life and try and do something positive with it for the benefit of everyone. Thanks spacex has these huge objectives and to get there, there is so much that we need to go and solve polaris is all about accelerating the technology development. Technology like the first New American made extra vehicular Activity Suit or Eva Suit in more than 40 years, nasa has been trying to get new ones for its astronauts for two who decades and spacex developed this one in just twoandahalf years. We are all really confident that some iteration of it is going to be worn by Somebody Walking on mars someday. And that just makes it even more of a privilege to be part of it. Scott Kidd Poteet is the mission pilot, a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and test pilot. Youve been wanted to go to space your whole life. Call me old im glad i have this crew Mission Specialist, Sarah Gillis is spacexs Lead Astronaut Trainer for all astronauts that fly on a dragon including Nasa Astronauts and jared on his first mission, the person whos in charge of training all the astronauts for it should have that experience themselves. The final Crew Member is Mission Specialist and medical officer and a mennon, also a Spacex Employee whose life is now in the hands ive her coworkers. These are not just engineers, these are also my friends, so i know the people that are putting us on that rocket and supporting us from the ground. And i have just the utmost trust and every single one one of them, in a year, your husband is a Nasa Astronaut youre beating him to space essentially how does that Family Dynamic play out . Oh, he is the most supportive person ever. I am incredibly grateful to have him on my side and honestly, i think hes doing the hard job right now. Now im joined live once again by Cnn Aerospace Analyst Miles Obrien and Janet Ivey of the national Space Board of governors. Janet tell us, what are we looking at these live pictures . This spaceship coming back you know, its just thrilling and i can only imagine, you know, the full gforces their bodies are feeling as they kind of like are heading back to earth. But what this crew has to celebrate is so monumental from the Space Tech that they were able to test out to the successful like starlink Statelets Space lasers, and the downlink that were done there. And theyve trained for two years together as a team for this entire mission and i think its been inspiring to watch whats going to be is what else will be accomplished because of their efforts janet, im just going to jump in here if were looking at Visit Granny pictures, but it appears at the parachutes have been open. Perhaps we should listen into Space X Mission control dragon spacex, visual on to healthy drugs resurface these Drone Parachutes helped to stabilize the Dragon Capsule and get it into the right orientation before those main parachutes pop out, as well as providing that initial Deceleration Mr. Such a great thermal shot of the Dragon Capsule, you can see it turning a little bit with the drug parachutes and there are the four main shoots now deployed. Theyll slowly open up to their full deployment here in just a few seconds. Incredible views of the Polaris Dawn Crew returning to earth after five days in earths orbit the crowd here at Mission Control in Hawthorne Cheering Sight to see the watch 1,000, 1,000 Cuticle Sight to see those for a healthy main parachutes sir, great. In about two minutes we expect our splashdown to occur and you may hear the crew and the core talking. There communicating about their altitude as they make their way back Down To Earth we should start hundred yeah, there it is. So we should start to hear an armed our Hearing Or Commander Jared Issacman call out the altitude as they descend to the Oceans Surface we can see the Polaris Dawn Crew nestled in their seats there on the Lefthand Side of your screen as they anticipate there scottsdale probably six and you could see the difference in velocity. This is a lot gentler than just a few minutes ago that dragon is coming back Down To Earth hes main parachutes deploy at about 119 miles per hour our and help slow the Dragon Capsule down to about 15 miles per hour when it makes contact with the ocean can also see that the capsule is down the capsule has now stabilized. Its no longer spinning like we saw with the drug Parachutes 100 were brazen. Copy 200 embrace bracing for splashdown that will be the final call we hear from jared until contact with the Ocean Surface by for a splashdown of the Polaris Dawn Crew as you can see on your screen. And by the cheers behind us the Polaris Dawn Crew had successfully splashdown welcome back to Planet Earth Polaris Dawn Space Recovery Team now moving into place to begin the process of strapping the Dragon Capsule up with the necessary rigging in order to lift it onto the Recovery Vessel Welcome back to Planet Earth, Polaris Dawn, what a beautiful sight and dade, i dont know if both of you were just holding your breath like i was as it slowly descended miles. I mean, talk me through that. Those four parachutes came im out im sure for the astronauts and that must have just been extraordinary moments away from, from Splashing Down Jared Issacman when he was doing a spacewalk, talked about the Perfect World beneath him but i have a feeling looking up at those parachutes the four perfect parachutes probably were his second favorite side of this mission because that when you see those, you know, your home and what beautiful thermal imagery weve gotten from the Dry Tortugas in the Gulf Of Mexico watching that ever so hot capsule as you can see, because its bright white. And those billowing parachutes doing their job bringing this crew of four home, a successful mission and a real milestone in the history of commercial space activity, which after years of talk and you know, many years of development really has taken off in the past few years and were entering a new era here, which portends the possibility of many more people having access to space. Ana, and thats an exciting prospect. And janet, i mean, this mission has really gone off without a hitch. There were a lot of people beforehand talking about the risks, the challenges involved bit here it has achieved what, whats so many didnt think was possible . Its been nothing short of amazing but the truth is, these are incredible professionals that have spent the last couple of years training together Scuba Diving together, hiking together. They have been on a mission to make sure that everything worked as perfectly they can train diligently and, you know, it was really impressive for jared to say that sarah, who is trained many of the astronauts that have flown on the Dragon Capsule before, should also experience what shes actually training those astronauts for so again, another incredible story, theyre all going think they have to tell. I cant wait to see them egress from their capsule and see the smiles as they are back here on earth. But something to remember that it was December Of 1903 when the Wright Brothers actually conquered Human Spaceflight. And powered flight for the first time so here we are are almost 121 years later and were seeing a another new development in flight, an aerospace. And thats just amazing because even the suits theyre wearing, spacex took the last twoandahalf years to develop and again, these suits its could one day or some iteration thereof be the ones that humans will be walking about on mars in again, for all of the science that they did, all of the medical testing, every thing that all the data theyre going to bring back again well done. All bravo and brava, its been quite a mission to follow. Malls. Weve just seen a boat coming to the screen. Its gone off the screen now, but talk us through what happens from here. There is a ship that is standing by obviously to collect the crew and then collect the spaceship walk us through that well, the grabbed the spaceship, bring it back to the Recovery Vehicle and the crew will leave the capsule once its on the vehicle, its not quite like they used to do it back at the apollo days so they, theyre going to sit there and tests their ability to handle Motions Sickness after what theyve just penned through it looks pretty calm sea, which is of course, very specifically forecast and what they were looking for in this case and then theyll get on helicopters, make their way to land and be reunited with loved once. And i know thatll be a special moment for all of them jenna, talk us through this Process Of Acclimatize nation because what theyve put their bodies through the last five days, i guess No One has done for a very long time. I mean, they have exposed themselves to high levels of Rain Ideation than the astronauts on the international Space Station they now have to, i guess, as i say, a acclimatize being back on earth took us through what they will be going through well, every astronaut ive ever spoken to says that upon landing your have this Weird Sensation of just heaviness. Youve had this experience of lightness, of being in microgravity and then all of a sudden youre very aware of how heavy everything feels and i can imagine theyre going wait a minute. Its like you know, again, this feeling, again, the amount of gs theyve been through as they re entered the earths atmosphere, then all of a sudden again that soft landing. So im sure theyre inner ear. Its weird in microgravity. We cant tell hill what is up or down and so again, that part of our cochlea helps us orient and create, that creates equilibrium for us. The part of that is probably just their grain reprocessing all of the things that are part of being in a one g environment. But again, part of that heaviness that i feel has to also be part exhilaration, knowing all that theyve accomplished malls, it looks like there are a couple of speedboats and theyve hooked on to the space ship, which you can see bobbing in the water so is a ship going to come . Belong and take the spaceship out of the water . How does it work . Yeah. Yeah. Theyre going to rendezvous in the water there crew right now is attaching various pieces of rigging and so forth that make all this facilitates this process of getting the capsule onto the recovery vessel. And Youll Notice that theyre wearing res hypergolic Fuels Involvement in these her chemicals that combust in the presence of Each Other and youve gotta be very careful because there could be some remnants of that around the capsule. And so they want to sort of, you know, electronically sniff the air and make sure its safe for them to E Grass because theyre going to be walking out into whatever that Micro Atmosphere is. So the process right now is about just getting the capsule kind well, i guess you could call it like netting the capsule, i suppose without the debt, but reading it and getting it onto the larger ship at allowing the crew to get back on and then get onto a helicopter the, water. It looks incredibly still, obviously, the weather was a huge component of all of this. There was that delay in Polaris Dawn launching. It was supposed to happen last month and then on the actual day that it launched, it had to be delayed a couple of hours because of thunderstorms, but it would say im very still, janet, tell us how important i guess the weather was for the splashdown again, when youre Splashing Down, you also dont want to be combating Hurricane Kinds of winds are waves and any kind of real turbulence. There. Its like especially after reentry and every thanks. So the weather is hugely important. Again, to say, the most important resource and all of Human Spaceflight are humans. So youre going to want to make sure that every, every last mario is favorable and so it was super wise for them to wait. Im sure that it was a little daunting to be ready. And he did go and then have to wait very after day and that but again, were seeing completely calm seas and thats exactly what this crew deserves upon arrival back miles im interested in the medical checks now that the crew will go through considering what they have put their bodies through these past five days. Big part of this mission was in fact, making themselves lab rats, if you will. And are they the first thing they did was they floated this very high Altitude And Part of the reason they did that i was to put themselves what are known as the Van Allen belts, which are an area particularly high Radiation Environment and if youre ever going to send humans to mars, are going to have to spend a Lot Understanding exactly that environment and how you might shield them against it to keep them safe isnt important piece of this, which hasnt been really fully solved as we think about Longduration Space flights to mars with the current chemical rockets. So we have, but in addition to that, they they have all kinds of medical experiments going on, on them, including in the case of kim per tedious to implant to help them further understand thats been happening to him physiologically. Now, five days is not a particularly long mission by todays standards, we have astronauts who have gone well past a year. Weve been talking a lot about that crew you know quote, unquote stranded on the international Space Station and how theyll spend a year there. What we find with astronauts who spend a long time in the absence of gravity is you lose a lot of calcium in your bones. Your bones become more brittle and week your cardiovascular system degrades quite a bit to end up, believe it or not we dont fully understand it except that has something to do with the wave fluids or distributed in our systems. But some Astronauts Experience long term vision loss, believe it or not all these things nasa has been working on for the throughout the course of the international space patient. But each time you answer a question, theres another question that comes up and so this crew was a part of pushing that even further forward. So they will be spending a lot of time Downloading Data from their bodies, if you will to compare it to what they were like before what happened during and what and after to get some good science jenin, just before we go this of course is the first of three planned missions as part of the polaris program. What is next in store, perhaps for this team . I think for this Team Theyve got an incredible story to tell. I know that jared himself is looking forward to the next two missions that are currently planned. I think i think truthfully its going to only amped up in kind of like more and more kinda like adventurous kinds of things that theyre going to attach. I mean, when you think about that, that entire capsule was open to the vacuum of space. It was quite, quite risky for the entire team, but so valuable to learn what is possible in these Eva Suits. So i think were going to see amazing using amazing kinds of science and other plans and i think i can say that if jared hes got a heart for philanthropy, the millions of dollars that but both inspiration for and Polaris Dawn have raised for st. Judes childrens hospital. I like his idea that whatever the next two missions entail, i think youre going to see them actually by the by the third mission, they will be even like testing out one of spacex new heavier rockets in the future but again, i think whatever hes doing out there in space, he still has an eye on benefit benefitting that Children Of Earth by donating and raising money for st. Judes childrens hospital. Both of those things are exciting, but i think well see different capsules. Well probably see some different kinds of an other kind of science there. And again, they will be experimenting, i think by the third 11 of the heavier rockets of spacex extraordinary what we have just witnessed, the Safe Return of Polaris Dawn, would that splashdown into the Gulf Of Mexico off the coast of florida .
