in the uk and around the world. i m tadhg enright. we start here in the uk where a summer of strikes could get even worse in the winter as two of britain s largest trade unions have put forward motions to co ordinate future walkouts in an effort to cause maximum impact. this the latest move to build pressure on the government and companies as workers demand higher wages in the face of soaring inflation and the cost of living crisis. the summer has seen industrial action from railway workers, to dock workers through to criminal barristers. and there could be more to come as nurses and local government workers are set to make decisions in the coming weeks. joining me now is gervais williams, head of equities at premier miton investors. whenever we talk about such things, we often reference the winter of discontent from the 1970s when there were widespread strikes in the face of high inflation. could this match it? iithink i i think it s very serious, when we look at the cost of
miles beyond it, further than any spacecraft intended to carry humans. cameras inside and outside orion will document the trip because this crew is unmanned but not unmannequined. a suited mannequin that will collect data on what future human crews might experience as nasa prepares for a lunar landing in 2025. we re sending mannequins into space. i suppose maybe that s been done before. none of this happens if the weather doesn t cooperate. i m sure nasa is on pins and needles about all of this. how is it looking for tomorrow? reporter: that s right, jim. when it comes to rocket launches everyone s eyes are on mother nature and right now nasa is saying that the conditions are 80% favorable for a launch tomorrow morning. the launch window opens at 8:33 a.m. eastern time and the countdown clock has already started, jim, so people are pretty optimistic this will take flight, the weather will not be the deciding factor but, also, a lot of folks are concerned about the fact that
nasa is set to launch its 0rion spacecraft on a mission that will pave the way for human space travel to mars. the uncrewed artemis 1 will travel farther than any spacecraft built for humans has everflown, reaching a0,000 miles beyond the far side of the moon. you can see the live shot from cape canaveral in florida. a 7.5 hours though, from take off. we re still 7.5 hours though, from take off. and although this is an unmanned mission, it will be a huge step for the robotics industry. a suited mannequin that can collect data on what future human crews might experience during space travel will act as captain on this mission. to help explain some of the potential here, i m joined by tom mccarthy, vice president of business development at space tech and robotics company motiv space systems. thank you for being with us on what must be a big day for you. please tell us more about this moonikin. what it is hoped we
