When retired postman Rodney Holbrook set up cameras to try to find out who was tidying his shed almost every night, he found an unexpected helper scurrying around his workbench.
reporter: this has been controversial. two of the customers that are paying to have cargo or payloads on this rocket or spacecraft are two companies, and they do what s called lunar memorials. the first of its kind. they re carrying little capsules containing cremated human remains for a lunar burial, and the navajo nation, the largest group of native americans in the united states is very upset about this. when they found out about this a few weeks ago, they say this amounts to desecration of a sacred space to their culture and navajo kcosmology. the moon is sacred. they appealed to the white house, to see if they could address the navajo nation s concerns, but it was not enough to delay this flight because it was a successful launch. in the wee hours of this morning, phil, had to be up at 2:00 a.m. i have no doubt you probably
