Moments ago the president tweeted about those comments. He wrote, those tweets are not racist. I dont have a racist bone in my body. Yesterday at the white house he defended his controversial comments, calling for four democratic congresswomen all women of color to go back to their home countries. All four are american citizens. As far as im concerned, if c leave. Thats what i say all the time. Its what i said in a tweet, which i guess some people think is controversial. A lot of people love it. Ye a n conference en respond calling for the president s impeachment. Nancy cordes was there and joins us from capitol hill. What are republicans saying . Reporter well, anthony, the Top Republican in the house, kevin mccarthy, is defending the president. He says mr. Trump isnt racist. Hes just frustrated about these four congresswomen and their political views. No matter what the president says, this country belongs to you. And it belongs to everyone. Reporter the four female lawmakers who have come to be nick named the squad forcefully condemned the president. This is the agenda of white nationalists. Reporter and said his comments were part of a pattern. He is, if nothing else, predictable. Simply a continuation of his racist and xenophobic playbook. Reporter a republican backlash gained steam, too. The tweets are racist and xenophobic, period, end of story. Its dangerous, demeaning to our fellow americans. That is simply wrong. Reporter but others defended him. Of course the president is not racist. The comments they have made, the squad, all of them, have been so antiamerican. Reporter so far 11 gop lawmakers have condemned the president s tweets outright. 18 have criticized both democrats and mr. Trump. 10 are supporting him, leaving more than 200 republicans who have stayed silent. The new democratic resolution will force them to go on the record and vote.

I hear the way she talks about al qaeda. Reporter the president insisted its the women who have used hateful speech. Can you respond to some of the president s specific claims, most notably that youre a communist and that youre pro al qaeda . It is beyond time to ask muslims to condemn terrorists. We are no longer going to allow the dignification of such ridiculous, ridiculous statements. The president referenced a 2013 video in which omar talked about al qaeda but she did not praise the group, jericka, as he claimed. All right. Nancy cordes, thank you very much. President trump has made it clear he will use his attacks on the congresswomen as an issue in the 2020 campaign. Its not the first time hes been accused of racist language. Ed okeefe is in des moines, iowa, where the Democratic Candidates are weighing in. Ed, how is this playing out on the campaign trail . Reporter well, jericka, good morning. Democratic president ial candidates get asked every day, heck, some get asked every few hours about something the president has done or said. Sometimes they try to brush it off and change the subject but not this time. Racist tweets. Its sickening. Its embarrassing. Reporter but from day one of his president ial campaign theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. Reporter and ever since a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. Reporter the president has repeatedly stoked racial tensions. You had some very bad people in that group but you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. Reporter democratic frontrunner joe biden said it is not just the president who he disagrees with. What do you say to americans who might agree with what the president tweeted yesterday . I say im ashamed of you. Reporter youd say that to voters . I say that to anybody who is that racist. I am ashamed of a racist. Reporter President Trump refused to back down in part because he believes his supporters will stand by him. Many we heard from yesterday do. I know some people dont like his tweets and they think he is crass and thats why i voted for him. Doing it the only way he can to get this country back. If you think you have it better or in your where you came from or how they did things there, go back. Where you came from. Reporter in a sign of how the racial tensions are being observed around the world, the senior Administration Official confirms to cbs news that russia is still meddling in u. S. Politics, mostly through social media, by stoking these racial divisions.

Profane, sexist, and homophobic messagesetrossello and his allies targeted those critical of his handling of the reliefernoon in connection with his sex crimes charges. Last week federal prosecutors charged kelly with new crimes, including paying off alleged victims and child pornography. Those federal indictments add to similar state charges. Adriana diaz is outside the federal courthouse in chicago. What can we expect today . Reporter good morning. A judge will decide whether kelly will be released on bail. Meanwhile the celebrity Attorney Michael Avenatti says the new charges include sex tapes he handed over to prosecutors and is offering an explanation for why kelly was allowed to walk free after the 2008 trial. The fact that he was acquitted, it was bogus. Reporter he says r. Kelly paid more than 2 million to silence a girl and her parents at the center of his 2008 child pornography trial. They didnt testify and a jury eventually acquitted kelly of all charges. Avenatti says he represents nine clients related to kellys case including victims, parents, and socalled whistle blowers like a former kelly associate who avenatti says was paid to hunt down a missing sex tape involving a minor. He specifically told the associate that his life was, quote, on the line. Reporter the lawyer says at least two sex tapes are part of the evidence that could put kelly behind bars for life.

Searchers discovered 60yearold Sheryl Powell yesterday about two and a half miles from her last known location near the nevada border. Her family says she left a camp site on friday to take her little dog for a short walk while her husband moved the jeep. Powell says she was chased by a man with a knife and got lost when she ran off the trail. She was hospitalized. Her dog has also been found. All i can say is this. These hikers always seem to be in really good condition. This is like the third or fourth story where a hiker has been missing and theyre found okay. Were glad theyre okay. This morning crowds gathered at Kennedy Space center to mark the 50th anniversary of the historic apollo 11 launch. Lets go back to Tony Dokoupil near launch pad 39a. Whats the mood there .

That is how long it takes to get from here on earth all the way to the moon, about four days. That accomplishment, getting there, landing, and then stepping out on the dust of an alien world still stands arguably i would say not so arguably as humanitys greatest achievement to date. The eagle has landed. Reporter before any steps could be taken here thats one small step for man reporter one giant leap had to be made on earth. Its going to be a journey certainly for the history books. Reporter it all started with a push. Russia launched the first person into space in 1961, inspiring america to reach further. We choose to go to the moon. Reporter to get there what we needed is one of these, the saturn 5 rocket, which was and is the most powerful rocket ever built. Here at the Apollo Saturn 5 center you get a sense of its you sheer size. 6 Million Pounds when fueled for liftoff with enough power to drive the average car around the world 800 times.

Reporter millions more tuned in. The epic journey of apollo 11. Reporter as neil arm strong, buzz aldrin, and Michael Collins headed out for another world. So it is now, before they go, as their gleaming vehicle sits poised and peaceful out there behind me on pad 39a that there is time, if only briefly, in this busy morning, to think of those three men and the burdens and the hopes that they carry on behalf of all man kind.

They missed out. Still so impressive to watch. Tony, thank you.

Welcome back to cbs and as you know Tony Dokoupil is at the Kennedy Space center. Look who is here. Jericka duncan. Always good to have her at the table. Well begin with this. In Louisiana Police are hunting for suspects in the murder of a beloved local civil rights activist. The east baton rouge coroner yesterday ruled the death of Sadie Roberts joseph a homicide. She died of suffocation. The 75yearolds body was found in the trunk of her car four days ago. Errol barnett is in baton rouge at the museum robertsjoseph founded almost two decades ago. What is the latest on the investigation in this case . Reporter good morning. Just to give you a sense of how sacred Sadie Robertsjoseph is a state lawmaker is collecting donations right now to keep her museum open. Her body was discovered about two miles from here and medical examiners are looking at it closely to try and understand what happened to her in her final hours on friday. Investigators Say Community activist Sadie Robertsjoseph died from traumatic asphyxia including suffocation not long after she visited her family. Cbs news spoke with her niece, pat mcallisterleduff. We have to find out who did this. She cant go down like this and doesnt deserve this. Reporter her family says the 75yearold stopped by her sisters house to bake a southern staple, corn bread. Hours later her body was found in her vehicles trunk in a residential neighborhood. Police are looking for potential waits to the crime. The fact somebody would even do this to her is disturbing.

She would always do a favor for people. It was never too much to do. Reporter but he says she was best known for her local contributions. She began her africanamerican museum in 2001. It includes art work and historic items like this bus from the 1953 baton rouge bus boycotts. This video shows robertsjoseph at this years annual Juneteenth Celebration she hosted for years in bat oj rouge to commemorate the emancipation of slaves in the south. News of her death has rocked this community. She was passionate about preserving this museum and keeping it here for generations to come and enjoy. Her impact on this city is hard to put into words. But i do think baton rouge owes it to her to make certain that this legacy of hers remains. Reporter the police are remaining very tight lipped. They cite this ongoing investigation, the city is offering 5,000 for information leading to arrest or indictment. Consider this. The family is fearful that if a suspect is announced but not in custody the community may seek its own justice. Jericka, there is a vigil here tonight. Wow. Errol, thank you.

This is one of the old apollo capsules. This belonged to apollo 14. Inside it, three men flew a quarter million miles to the moon and returned to earth safely. I want to show you how nasa plans to go back to the moon. Its been called apollo on steroids. This is orn, orion, the first space capsule since is the apollo era. The astronauts have been evaluating what nasa has been testing all the way to splashdowns. We got to see up close at the Johnson Space center. We put these on to make sure when were getting in and out since were not astronauts, we dont hurt ourselves. Reporter we are not astronauts. From the outside, orion looks similar to apollos capsule. But climb inside. Michael kirasich oversees the orion program. The capsule is 50 bigger than apollos. Roomy enough for four astronauts. Youll be the pilot today, ill be the commander. Reporter at eye laefl a 21st century dashboard. When we went last time the goal was land on the balloon and return them safely to earth, and we did that. This time its different. Its about a sustainable, longterm human Space Exploration program. Reporter orion would launch on top of an sls rocket designed to be more portfolio than the apollo era saturn five. The destination, a mini space station orbiting the moon called gateway. The crew would dock there and take a lunar lander down to the moons surface. A handful of companies are preparationing designs for gateway. Frank demauro showed the mockup of a gateway habitat. He oversees space relations for the company. Reporter up to four astronauts could work and live here for up to two months. If you look up here, thats a berth that a crew member would go in when its time to sleep. Reporter the apollo astronauts were basically living out of their car to and from the moon. This is more of a home. Its a place where they cook their food, they can gather and socialize, but really do their work. Reporter butorion is years behind schedule, and trump ordered americans put a man back on the moon by 2024. If nasas not capable of landing sflauts on the moon in five years, we need to change the organization, not the mission. Reporter nasa did just that last week, ousting the top two managers of the program. It was entirely my decision, but at the end of the day, we need to be very clear that nasa is committed to cost and schedule. Reporter nasa administrator Jim Bridenstine says it could take 20 billion additional over five years to meet that new deadline. My next step is to get the support from the reporter when this hatch closes, imagine three astronauts squeezed inside for eight days for the roundtrip to the moon. Now, without additional billions, nasa has no chance of going back to the moon by 2024. Administrative bridenstine will be on capitol hill tomorrow to make nasas case. 20294, it will be 2024, it will be here before you know it. Thank you so much, mark. Thank you. They say they hope to have the first woman, 2024. Uhhuh. Maybe it could be me. Why not . Would you want to go . Oh, man. You have a daughter i know. She has to come with me. The idea of 10, 15, 20 years from now, what does that Space Exploration look like is freaky. Its looking a lot more comfortable. If they had netflix up there i might go. Two years later were talking about it. It is breathtaking when you see it. It does make you proud to say we did that. The u. S. Did that. Its incredible. Especially when you saw what they traveled in. Yeah. Before apollo 11 blasted off nasa found a standin for the lunar surface here on earth.

Man embarks today on historys greatest adventure. The dow of this day heralded the dawning of a newbs ne walte awaiting the launch of apollo 11 at the Kennedy Space center 50 years ago today, guys. All morning long our streaming service at cbsn will play cbs coverage of the launch as it happened back in 1969. Cbsns Vladimir Duthiers there with tony for a special space edition of what to watch. That is right. Put away your earthly concerns, viewers at home and those in the studio. Vlad is here for an outofthisworld segment, im over the moon about it, you might say. Calling it what to watch. Its an honor to be here, representing the network. Good morning to all of you back in new york and all of you watching across the united states. Here are a few stories were going to be talking about today as we mark the 50th anniversary of the apollo 11 launch, we remember the pioneers t stage for the first africanamerican in space. Back in 1961, air force pilot ed dwight was chosen by president john f. Kennedys administration to bring diversity to nasa and become americas first black astronaut. He appeared on National Magazine covers and radio programs to promote the Space Program, but dwight said he was a target of racism from colleagues and officials, and he was not selected by nasa to be an astronaut. He later left the air notice. Lyndon b. Johnson picked Robert Lawrence to be the first black astronaut, but he never made it to space either. Sadly, he died in a training accident in 1967. It wasnt until 1983 that we would see guy bluford become the first africanamerican to make it into space. Eems likeor long. Everybody didnt get to go to space. Thats right. 18 africanamericans have been apherdo that it took 22 years moment. All right. Before lunar landings, astronauts had to navigate a Training Ground that seems as desolate as the moon. In between the grand canyon and phoenix is an area in flagstaff, arizona. Its a near perfect blueprint what Neil Armstrong and the rest of the crew encountered while they were walking on the moon. In the 1960s, the Geological Survey made flagstaff more moonlight to test vehicles and equipment, hundreds of craters were blasted into the fields. There is a remarkable story. They blasted craters to creates a lunar surface. Here all moonbound astronauts learned how to walk through rough terrain in their space suits. They also took crash courses on rock formations and lunar mapping. In fact, they named a crater on the moon, they named it flag crater in honor of flagstaff. Ou get up there, youre space i. Light as a bird flighting around. Onesixth of the earths gravity. Over at the jet propulsion laboratory, they are sharing the technology and gadgets we would not have today if it werent for space travel. Check this out. Technology used in cat stance and mri machines was originally developed to produce computer enhanced images of the moon during the Apollo Missions. This is my favorite one. The dustbuster. Yeah. The dustbuster was invented by nasa scientists as a lightweight device to collect rock samples on the moon. So all of you that are like me about dust in the house, you can thank nasa for the dustbuster. Memory Foam Mattresses are a result of a 1970s invention to help make nasa test pilots seats more comfortable. They were later installed in space shuttles. Many tech items including wireless headsets, the small camera in cell phones, they were also developed by nasa. The cell phone in your pocket, the wireless head business set in our ears, and gayle, the dustbuster owes its debt to nasa. Think about that the next time you clean up the how to. Thats me cleaning up the house with the dustbuster. Thank you, tony and vlad, matching black shirts. Were talking to meek mill after the break. But im a survivor. After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

Democrats and some republicans are speaking out against President Trumps racist tweets about four democratic women. House democrats introduced a resolution condemning the president s comments. Mr. Trump told lawmakers, who are women are color and american citizens, to go back to their countries. The house could vote today on that resolution. So far at least 29 republicans have criticized the president s words. Yesterday the four women apparently targeted by the president he didnt name them specifically slammed his comments and racist and called for his impeachment. A short time ago President Trump defended his tweets writing, rebu quote, those tweets were not racist. I dont have a racist bone in my body. Ibram kendi, director of ntiracist research and policy s iner at American University in washington, d. C. Hes made the trip to join us at onsidered this morning. Good to see you. Good morning. People us to the history of go back where you came from . Why is it considered a racist statement . I know it made a lot of people alinge when he said it. Probn the 19th century many reformers, thought the way to oflve the race problem, specifically negro problem, was a send back the blacks. It started with jefferson in 1877 and up to abraham lincoln. T its never said of caucasians nd white people of european descent. Never. Its assumed its their country. People of color, its assumed its not their country. Some of the president s supporters have called his tweets inappropriate, not racist. First i say theres no such thing as not racist. Mething racist and antiracists. Racists suggest something wrong or right, superior or inferior t inheren normal plecans are whites tare america. Prdea suggests that somehow people of color are not ters say. Raats deeply racist. I heard one of his supporters say they are not racist because in the tweets he never mentions race. How can it be i heard someone say, he never mentions race, how can it be considered racist. Poll taxes, grandfather clauses, these are voting suppression bills widely considered by americans to be racist but there was no racial language in them. Fordont have to have racial therege in an idea or even in a golicy to be racist. Its about the outcome. Are you suggesting theres something wrong with a particular group, creating inequity . Thats the true measure of in s whether something is racist. What role do republicans play in checking the president about these comments. You hear them say its unacceptable, its divisive, people are frustrated, but some of them are not really calling out this behavior as racist. What role do they play in sort of helping move this conversation forward or get a better understanding of how our president can say that and some people feel thats not offensive. I think republicans should play the same role as all americans, that is to identify racism when they see it and to say that america is not going to stand for it. This is a bipartisan issue. This is an issue that cuts across lines. Either where a nation of immigrants, either a nation where everyone is included or whether a nation of white people. I think we have to decide republicans need to decide what type of nation are they going to stand up for. Repeatedly condemned racism and bigotry in all forms. So every group of racists in American History have condemned bigotry and racism in all forms except their form. Slave owners condemned it. Segregationist condemned it. Mass incarcerators condemn it. They all condemn it but deny their own racism. Thats essential to racism. Congresswoman ilhan omar came under fire for some of comments she made, some divisive things. Should she be criticized . Do you see comparisons between her remarks and what the president said as the same . I do not. Why . She was very specific in criticizing the policies of a country. In this case, the country was israel. Trump has specifically criticized racial groups of people. Like what . When he said that mexicans are rapists. When he said black people that a trait of blacks is laziness. This is a condemnation of a racial group of people. That is effectively racism. When we criticize a trys poli, is not when you criticize israeli policies thats not antisemitic but when you Say Something wrong where juice that is. Can you criticize racist tweets and not be a racist. What you do, what you say, what policies you support determines whether youre being racist or antiracist. No, if you say things that are racist, youre racist. Just like if you say things antiracist the next minute youre being antiracist. What we do are effectively who we are in that moment. The people that dont criticize those remarks, are they racist . People say i like his policies. I dont like he said that but i like some of his policies. So when you have a politician who is mass producing and circulating ideas, racist ideas as ones i just described, saying that immigrants from the south are criminals bev says anything about immigrants from europe or even the north. When you ask him when he says these things and you dont challenge these things, youre ef ahead only ahead om on cbs this morning well talk to Rapper Meek Mill about his effort to vacant a more than 10yearold conviction on drug and gun charges. How he now wants to correct what he describes as a broken criminal Justice System. Youre watching cbs this morning. As always, we thank you for that. Well be right back. Ching cbs this morning.

Astronaut nick hague and tris tina koch are the closest to the moon. They are on the space stage 250 miles above earth and 230,000 miles away from the moon. Tony talked to the american trts ken e center. Ace re began as rivalry but hague and koch joined their counterpart in cooperation and commemorating apollo 11 mission with a message that read in part, it was indeed a giant leap for the people of the earth. I into with them earlier about the Apollo Mission and nasas plans to return to the moon by 2024. Im joined by astronauts nick hague and Christina Koch. Good morning, guys. Good morning, tony. Its a pleasure to be with you. It looks like youve been having some fun this morning. Ive been watching flips and turns, a lot of fun in antigravity. I guess my first question is here we are 50 years from the apollo 11 mission. As you twirl and orbit in space, what does it mean to you . I think what it means to us is a great inspirational moment to think back to what the teams were able to accomplish when they really put their minds to something and they took on the challenge that was so huge that they knew it would alter the course of history. We feel connected to that event because were so honored to be part of the Space Program today and to continue their legacy. Were in a period now where were able to explore the frontiers of science and uncover and unlock amazing secrets that help to benefit life on earth. So feeling that connection and that inspiration is really what it means to us today. Nick, youve had the experience of a phairy near abort after launch. In fact, it was a full abort. With that in mind, can you help us understand what the apollo 11 astronauts must have been thinking as they prepared for launch 50 years ago this morning . You know, i think that every hatstrapped themselves into a rocket thinks the same things. Youve spent many years training for that moment to try to do everything perfect and to if something doesnt work right with the system to figure out how to work around it. Thats what we train for. Theres a massive team on the ground that prepares you for that. So thats what gives you the confidence going in, knowing that youve got this gigantic team of 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of people that are supporting you and making it all possible. They are as committed to making it a Successful Mission as you are. And so the second time i got into the rocket, i was just as confident as the first time i got into the rocket and its because of that team. Hey, christina, you said that being in space and seeing the perspective of the earth from above, the socalled overview effect, has reminded you that we are one on this planet. Can you talk about about how ones perspective changes being in space and what it might mean if everybody got that perspective . Youre exactly right. The perspective of looking down on the earth from here is a big reminder that as humans were most fundamental aspects of who we are, and that were way more alike than we are different. Those differences are just as exciting, and they often arise from just the amazing geographical conditions of where we are on the planet. I think the apollo astronauts had an even more amazing perspective of earth. The photograph, the famous photograph of earth rise, earth taken from the moon, really showed us that we are on one planet, and that that planet is what sustains us all and what we have in common. If everyone had the opportunity to see that, we would certainly know that deep down we are all the same and that we can accomplish the best things and the greatest things when we Work Together as humans. Aint it true. Nick hague will return to the earth in the fall. Christina koch will remain in orbit until february 2020 at which time she will have set a record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman. Ill send it back to you guys. I want to underscore what christina had to say, from the perspective of space, all the astronauts say, we are one planet. We cant wait for her to return and spread that message. Thank you, tony.

Jericka, you go first. This one is hopeful, i think. Like that. It affects a lot of people. Scientists are getting closer to a long soughtafter blood test to screen people for possible signs of alzheimers disease. So scientists got together recently, the American Alzheimers Association said the test correctly identified 92 of people who had alzheimers disease, correctly ruled out 85 who did not have it, giving test an overall accuracy of 88 . A lot of people are impacted by this, whether your parents, grandparents. Five Million People in the united states, and the Early Detection is not as invasive as some of the other tests they have. It means maybe a longer life, and also stopping the disease from sort of spreading the way that it can. So encouraging. And it cant come soon enough. A lot of people worry about it. I like that. My story is british computing pioneer and legendary world war ii code breaker alan turing will be the new face on britains 50pound note, worth about 62. This is very significant. Turing cracked helped lead a team that cracked the nazi code in world war ii that turned the course of the war. He designed a computer that was a machine that was a forerunner of the modern computer. But what became tragic was he was prosecuted in the 50s for homosexuality which was then illegal. He died a couple of years later at the age of 41. Queen elizabeth ultimately pardoned him posthumously. He was played by Benedict Cumberbatch in the imitation game. Finally he gets an honor that he deserves for all that hes done for the world, in fact. He was chosen from among 227,000 nominees. Alan turing. Well deserved. Ill go last. It has to do with womens soccer. Cant get enough of these women. Neither can procter and gamble. Why . Theyre throwing their support behind the Womens National team and their fight for equal pay.

This is on the eve of mediation to do something about the gender inequality. Hopefully this will put even more pressure on the federal gender discrimination and on the Soccer League to do something to change the fight, to change it so that women get equal pay. These women have delivered. If i wasnt already wearing secret deodorant, ill go out and buy myself some today. Comes in a lovely blue tube. Lovely blue thing. Only on cbs this morning, we went behind the scenes to see what the apollo 11 crew did in the hours before they blasted off for the moon 50 years ago today. Curious whate tony shows us everything from where they suited up to what they ate for breakfast. Hes at the Kennedy Space center where the historic launch took place. Do tell. Reporter good morning. This time 50 years ago they would have been on their way. The three men woke up not far from where im standing, and they woke up with a Singular Mission in mind, becoming the first human crew to land on the moon. Not only land but step out and walk on another world. Bob cabana guided us through the lunar pioneers that they take took on that day. At 4 15 in 1969 the astronauts would have woken up at crew quarters. They would have been in a bedroom down the hallway to the right and made their way to the lining room, where on the menu, anything they wanted. What they happened to choose was scrambled eggs, steak, toast, orange juice, and coffee. How were they thinking about that flight to come . I think theyre thinking, youve practiced for it. So you know what to expect. Reporter 4 15 a. M. Wakeup, breakfast, then they show up here in the suit room. You got your suit on, and you sat down in that seat, and they hook you up with panels to make sure everything was working correctly before you headed out. Reporter all suited up, the three apollo 11 astronauts walked down this hallway . Right. With the team supporting them. And the support crew here in crew quarters would be standing at the door cheering and clapping and they would get in the van and go to the pad. Reporter once you come out those doors, you see the cameras, you see the people, i got to imagine that these guys are realizing the whole world is watching. You walk out, and everybodys cheering and clapping. It makes you feel proud. Reporter we were just in the crew quarters where the crew gets dressed. Right. Reporter this is where, correct me if im wrong, the rocket gets dressed. Thats right. The Vehicle Assembly building. Reporter the saturn 5 is still the biggest rocket ever made. To put that together you had to build what is still one of the biggest buildings ever made. Absolutely. Reporter these ceilings are 500plus feet . I think 535 when youre up on the roof. Reporter were on our way to the roof. On our way to the roof. Were at the 34 level. Well get on a different elevator that goes to the top. Reporter apollo 11 50 years ago 50 years ago, that pad. The caller transporter would pick up the mobile launcher with the rocket, roll out the big doors, go in less than a mileanhour, and head out the 3. 5mile trek to the pad. Reporter you say 39b is our 39b. Weve been challenged to put the firs moon in 224. And were going to make that happen. I think weve got an outstanding future. Reporter i did ask cab ban that about a new cbs poll that shows fewer than 50 of americans think their country remains the world leader in Space Exploration. He acknowledged that nasa has to do a better job communicating to the public about what he calls the great things theyre doing, but he thinks were still the leader. And to demonstrate it he says well be going back to the moon in 2024. After that, of course, the goal is mars. Gayle . The goal is mars. Tony, that it was such a great piece. Part of your piece, we had side by side of what they had back then and showed you walking today in 2019. Very nicely done. Gives me a lot of goosebumps. Thank you, sir. See you back at the table tomorrow. As Rapper Meek Mill all right. All right. As Rapper Meek Mill tries to get his conviction on drug and gun charges overturned he wants to be the face of criminal Justice Reform. Coming up only on cbs this morning, we talk with him about how his time on probation has impacted his family life. Philadelphia hiphop artist meek mill will be back in court today trying to get his more than decadeold conviction on gun and drug charges thrown out. The rapper wants to make himself the face of criminal Justice Reform after many criticized his 2017 prison sentence for violating probation as too extreme. Only on cbs this morning, we met with meek mill in his hometown of philadelphia. We people come up in the environments that i come up in around drugs, violence, death. You see at on a daily basis. And you know, people make mistakes. People have people selling drugs on your doorstep, shooting every night in your neighborhood. As you know it and get older, i was 18 when i got caught carrying a gun. I felt like that was necessary to protect yourself . I think any smart person in america, if he was in that situation, like this is the only choice you have to make to stay alive. Reporter philadelphia native Robert Rihmeek williams, better known as meek mill, served five months in prison after a 2008 conviction and was given seven years probation. After violations that extended that probation, including failing a drug test and violating travel restrictions, a judge sentenced the rapper in 2017 to up to four years in prison. Free meek mill t iv he walked free month later after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court intervened, but hes still on probation. Some days i think about it, wake up like, im on probation, i cant just get up and take my son to disney world. Im having to ask someone if i can travel my whole adult life since the age of 18 to 32. I cant go across the state line. Reporter any time you want to go somewhere outside of what, philadelphia yeah, philadelphia. Reporter you have to get permission to travel . Yes. Even if its to the next county over. If its out of the city. If you dont ask for permission, you can get the rest of your probation time given to you as jail time legally. Taking your son to school, you have to call and get permission . Yes. My son lives in new jersey, but i live in philadelphia, the bridge is a 15minute ride. Its just a bridge. I couldnt get him from school. What are you teaching my son . Im teaching my son about dignity. Im teaching him about respect. Im teaching him about being like i was and always being the man of the house. By the time you were 5, you didnt have a father. How do you learn to be a good father . By watching tv shows and Something Like that really. Seriously . Yeah. Basically, you just got to learn. Im not perfect, i dont know, i try to make the best of it. You feel they support you here . Yeah. Now 32 years old, meek mill is paying it forward. The rappers partnered with philadelphia 76ers coowner Michael Rubin and hiphop icon jayz to create the Reform Alliance. Thats an organization dedicated to battling injustice. Its the way that the system is structured. Like you have a kid, you got 35 charges, hes facing 25 years. He was selling two bags of weed. But ended up getting charged with a bunch of charges. He dont have money, so he cant hire an attorney. Hes going to take a deal. And his life is just ruined. You are not advocating for people who have actually committed crimes. Thats not what youre saying here. Im not speaking for low lives, anyone out here being a threat and doing what youre doing to break the community, im not speaking for you. Im speaking for the people who are actually caught up in these situations and trying to make it out. If you do your time for your crime and get out of the system and are trying to better yourself, im speaking for you. People in this world make mistakes. Thats why the Reform Alliance is so important. Tell me about the work you want to do with that. The work i want to do is actually make a smart probation and parole act where you can gain your life back and get your life back on track, not just be caught up in a loop and going in and out of the system. I want to do something for the people who come from where i come from because we do start, and it goes back to slavery. We have to catch up. You know, i want to help people get the right start and make it a fair game. Prosecutors also agree that meek mills conviction should be overturned because of a perceived bias from the judge who sentenced him. The rapper could be retied under a new judge. And well have more next week including a special announcement about his next chapter. Its a very big deal. Im holding myself not being able to say its so important, but he makes a very important case about probation. Couple times he was shooting a video, he was driving a motorcycle and popped a wheelie. He was arrested for that. Thats considered a violation probation. They said failed a drug test, failed for taking percocet. He said let the punishment fit the crime. He said the probation violations are out of control. Does he believe it will be overturned . Its funny, i asked him that. He goes i dont know what to think. You know, there was a time in my life where i would obsess about whats going to happen. Now he says, im going to go with the flow. He hopes it would be overturned, but he never thought he would be in this position. His expectations have not been met up to now. We will know today whats going to happen. Setting a good example, you know, for the people that are in those situations and learning you cant beat the system. And because its him and the people that hes teamed up with, he does have a very unusual platform that people will Pay Attention to. All right. Thank you, gayle. On todays cbs this morning podcast, we look at the historical significance of president kennedys bold plan to send humans to the moon. Listen wherever you like to get your podcast. And before you go, well go back to the Kennedy Space center where tony is joined by former nasa astronaut Peggy Whitson. She will share how watching the moon landing as a 9yearold changed her life forever. Youre watching cbs this morning. Movie night excuse me. All right what are we watching . Living with directv has been a learning experience. Lets see whats on tv. Directv satellite powers activate youre kidding. Yeah. Thats not how that works at all. Can you show us streaming apps . Sorry. My remote doesnt do voice commands. I guess you could say im a little bit old school. Lamar, can you dim the lights . Stop living with directv. Find all of your favorites faster with the xfinity x1 voice remote. Former nasa astronaut Peggy Whitson first dreamed of going armstrong take that first step on the moon. Peggy spent a record 665 days in space. More than any other american in history. She is with tony whos at the Kennedy Space center for the 50th anniversary of that apollo 11 launch. Tony . Reporter hey, guys. She says she doesnt make it back that much these days, but she remembers being a 9yearold in iowa on a farm when apollo launched. Take us back to that moment. Actually, the most memorable part for me was the the touchdown and the first step on the moon. I remember that distinctly. It was late at night for me. I was supposed to be in bed, and my parents got us out of bed so we could watch it. I think part of the reason i remember it is because we got to stay up late to watch it. You were inspired by sally ride, the first woman in space. Now there are a lot of boys and girls watching right now, looking at you and feeling inspired. Whats the best advice youve received for them . The best advice is find your passion, work really, really hard, and push yourself, challenge yourself to live outside whats comfortable for you. Thats when you find out how much you can do. In a cbs poll most americans say they support a return to the moon, but most americans thought the money it would cost to get there might be better spent elsewhere. Whats the argue for going back . I think exploration, pushing the limits, pushing our boundaries is the reason to go back. It improves our technology here on earth. All the money that gets spent on that Space Exploration is spent down here on the ground, and were developing new technologies. So i think its really important. I know you happen to believe theres more life out there other than us. You think well find it quickly . I hope so. Maybe not on the moon, but well find it. Gayle, youre looking for an answer on that, as well. As we close, i want to say i didnt think it was possible to get chills in 90degree heat, but standing here with peggy on this historic day on the spot where cronkite made the call 50 years ago, turns out it is possible. Back to you. I feel it, too. Peggy whitson is such a bad ass. Youre lucky got to talk to her. I think of walter cronkite. His voice, wasnt he the perfect one to lead the country he was pretty speechless at the moment. It was really something. Our 50th anniversary coverage will continue tonight on cbs evening news with norah odonnell. She has a primetime special about that. It never gets old to me. It is a very special special. Its great. You remember all the details. Back then i thought news was boring even though i had to watch. It i dont remember the details. You remember the details where we live we had bad tv reception.
