They splashed down about an hour ago. Returning astronauts spent five months on the laboratory. The crew 1 consists of three americans and one japanese astronaut. A floatilla of ships were waiting. The hatch opened and the crew exited the capsule. Theyll be on a helicopter to go back to the Johnson Space station. I spoke with leroy chow who knows what its like to return to earth and he shared that experience with me. Coming down in a spacecraft like that. So very different conspiracies. The spacex capsule flies were shoot through the at most fear, b and you get a lot of rumbling from super sonic to subsonic. In the capsule its pretty benign until the parachutes come out, but thats a good feeling because you know they came out. How long did it take them to get you when you landed . It is very quick. The rescue forces followed us down in their helicopters. We landed on land. There was so much snow melt at kazakhstan at the time that we almost made a water landing. In this case this is si
P. M. In beijing where the president s of china and the United States have announced a major agreement on Climate Change. Barack obama and xi jinping spoke with reports just a short time ago after a morning meeting. Both leaders have agreed to plan to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions by close to 1 3 over the next two decades. Listen. Translator we issued a joint statement on Climate Change, and our 2020 targets, we agreed to make sure that International Climate change negotiations will reach an agreement as scheduled at the paris conference in 2015.

Be this flight. 62 miles out to suborbital orbit just to the edge if they can pay for that ticket to get onboard this spacecraft, they could experience the awe that is space. Weightlessness. You can see what that really is like and so now we are experiencing a tragedy which in the wake of the rocket that exploded six seconds after takeoff a couple days ago is certainly tough to swallow for anyone who loves space. I have a former Washington Post reporter and author who has followed the development of this particular program. This Virgin Galactic program. When you look at these pictures here, pieces of presumably this space ship 2 here in the desert and we now have the news that at least one of the pilots has died. Its tough news to swallow. Actually, yes, brooke. Im quite heartbroken. I knew both of these pilots very, very well.

With a congressman, a bipartisan effort with montel. And it became very agonizing. Because there was a delay on the part of the judge who i think in the end made the right decision based on humanitarian ground to proceed with the release. But we were working the phones. We were working not pressuring the but diplomacy with the Mexican Government. The state department helped. But it was a combined effort. I want to visit the sergeant last week at his prison. I told him i thought the release was imminent. But i think it was a combination of factors and the recognition that the Mexican Government was not pressured. But they made the right, correct judicial decision which is based on ptsd which they dont have much experience with in mexico that they made this release.

The highest who ever weighed in was secretary of state john cary
