Pelley americas long pause from launching humans into space may change with a bold mission to send two private citizens, paying customers, around the moon and back. The announcement came from elon musk, the entrepreneur who created tesla electric cars and spacex, a rocket maker that already sends unmanned cargo capsules to the space station for nasa. Musk plans to launch late next year, about six years after the space shuttles last flight and nearly half a century after the last apollo astronauts left their foot prints in the lunar dust. Heres don dahler. Two, one, zero, liftoff. Lawsuit spacex will attempt to lawn two unnamed individual, said to be very serious about traveling ash the moon. Theyve already put down whats described as a serious deposit. Cbs news space expert bill harwood. Talk is cheap. Launching a mission like this safely is a tall order. Reporter the company has not released what the weeklong journey will cost, but it says it will take the amateur space travelers near the moons surface and further out to space before looping back to earth, a distance of 200 to 300,000 miles. Theyll be aboard a fully automated spacecraft with no human pilot. Three years ago spacex founder elon musk told scott pelley for 60 minutes his friends were dubious. I had so many people try to talk me out of starting the company, it was crazy. Pelley what did they tell you . One good friend of mine collected a whole series of videos of rockets blowing up and made we watch those. He just didnt want me to lose all my money. Reporter in fact, spacex added to the collection of explosion videos with two spectacular failures, but recently the company has had a string of successful launches and landings. Still, musk is known for making bold predictions that dont quite come to pass. In 2011 he vowed to put people in space in three years. That has yet to happen. Elon musk makes no secret of his desire to send humans to mars. This is a major step in that direction. Rawfort to that end, musk says these private ends will produce significant revenue from the company and hopes to launch passengers into space once or twice a year. Scott, such trips must be licensed by the federal aviation administration. Pelley don dahler for us tonight. Don, thank you.

There are questions tonight about whether the white house is trying to itfluence congressional investigations of the 2016 president ial election and possible contacts between russia and the Trump Campaign. Our Congressional Correspondent nancy cordes has the latest. What would be the problem of the white house sending me a number of a press person to call . Reporter intelligence chair and republican devin nunes is leading the house investigation into possible collusion between Trump Campaign officials and russian operatives, but he insisted today there was nothing wrong with him and his Senate Counterpart richard burr making a few calls at the request of trumps aides. All it was was a White House Communications person passing a number and name of a reporter over, if i would talk to them. Reporter but that combined with reports that white house officials made similar requests of the c. I. A. Director and f. B. I. Officials prompted fresh accusations from democrats about white house tampering. We have to do this investigation bipartisan. Reporter virginias mark warner is the top democrat on the intelligence committee. We have to not let a white house or any other political interference get in its way, because its too important. Reporter White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer would not confirm or deny that c. I. A. Director mike pompeo was asked to defend the campaign im not going to discuss what we did internally. Reporter nunes argued the probe is probably a dead end anyway. From what ive been told by many folks is that theres nothing there. Reporter is he right that theres no evidence . Well, first of all, we have not obtained any of the evidence yet. Reporter adam schiff is the top democrat on the house intelligence committee. We cant draw any conclusions, nor should we. We shouldnt be prejudging where the facts lead. Reporter schiff added that he is not convinced yet that the f. B. I. Will share all the information it gathers with congress. Scott, cbs news has learned that its the f. B. I. s Counterintelligence Division that is leading this investigation. Pelley nancy cordes on capitol hill. And at the other end of pennsylvania avenue, our chief White House Correspondent major garrett. Major, we learned some details today of the president s domestic agenda. Reporter yes, on the political front, scott, the white house and Top Republican leaders trying to put some muscle back behind the nowstalled effort to repeal and replace obamacare. Now, details are sparse, but the goal is for both the house and senate to act by midmay to create a new Transitional Health insurance marketplace, one with no individual coverage mandate, fewer regulations, more tax credits, fewer tax subsidies. As the president said today, its all very complicated business. The president will also ask congress for 54 billion in additional defense spending in this budget year, and at the same time, scott, ask congress to cut that same amount, 54 billion, from domestic programs and foreign aid. Pelley the president said who knew health care was so complicated. Major garrett, thank you. Cbs news will bring you President Trumps first address to a joint session of Congress Tomorrow evening. Our live coverage begins at 9 00 eastern time. The white house said today that the military is conducting three investigations of an antiterrorism raid one month ago in yemen. Navy seal ryan owens was killed along with a dozen civilians. Other americans were wounded and a u. S. Aircraft was lost. Well, now, owens father is demanding answers and jan crawford is following that. His family was there, incredible family, loved him so much, so devastated. Reporter President Trump earlier this month described meeting the family of Navy Seal Ryan owens when his body was returned to the u. S. But owens father bill declined a meeting with his sons commanderinchief. In an interview with the miami herald, he said, i didnt want to make a scene about it, but my conscience wouldnt let me talk to him. He asked, why at this time did there have to be this stupid mission when it wasnt even barely a week into his administration. Under the cover of night on january 28th, seal team 6 became pinned down outside the al qaeda compound. They were forced to call in a helicopter gunship to silence the fire. 14 al qaeda operatives and at least 15 civilians were killed in the firefight. Owens also was killed in a 72 million evac air crash landed. The timing was linked to a broader offensive were pursuing in yemen. Reporter david martin was told preparation for the operation was thorough. The raid was monitored in realtime. Some people have called this success. Some people have called it a failure. What would you call it. Again, the object was to go in and collect intelts. We accomplished that. From that perspective it was successful. I certainly understand how the family would look at this in a different light. Reporter now, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the pentagon is conducting a review of the bat until yemen, which is standard whenever a mission results in losses of life. And scott, spicer also offered his condolences to the owens family on behalf of the president. Pelley jan crawford, thanks. Terrorism is one reason the secret service is tailing the president s children, but when his Adult Children are running global businesses, the taxpayers bill runs high. Anna werner has looked into that. Reporter by wednesday eric trump will have gone to four countries on Trump Company business since january 1st, each with secret Service Agents in tow. In early january it was a trip to uruguay for a glitzy party to promote a new property with a reported 100,000 in hotel bills for secret service and other u. S. Government personnel. Then just a few weeks after the inauguration, he flew to the dominican republic, but not before secret Service Agents reportedly went for a routine advanced planning trip. Within weeks eric and his brother donald, jr. , flew to dubai for the gala opening of another trump property. And tomorrow night its vancouvers turn, a new trump hotel that will be the citys second largest skyscraper. Both brothers are expected to attend. And their secret Service Protection goes with them. The secret service wont say how much all those trips cost the agency, but taxpayers are footing the bill. The law requires protection for the president and Vice President and their immediate families, but secret Service Coverage for Adult Children is optional. They could decline it. Ronald reagans son ron reagan eventually did just that. The taxpayers are stuck. Reporter Washington University law professor Kathleen Clark teachings oneth knicks government. The bottom line on how much it is costing the taxpayers, absolutely is something that i believe the public and congress has the right to know. Reporter we asked the Trump Organization if they expect the president s sons to keep up their pace of international travel, and whether eric or donald, jr. , have considered reimbursing for the cost of secret Service Protection on their business trips, but we got no response. Scott, the secret service told us it has effectively adapted to the unique challenges of each administration. Pelley anna werner, thanks.
