they say is lip service to a border crisis that to a party they demand presidential action and now. one of those lawmen, the montgomery county texas sheriff is here. welcome, everybody. i m neil cavuto on top of fast-moving developments at the border that don t ease with the changes now in government policy that shows no change in government policy. we have matt finn in eagle pass, texas with the very latest. matt? and neil, border patrol tells us that eagle pass, with we are is one of the busiest port of entries for illegals in the united states. safe to assume that some of the migrants are in washington d.c., have crossed in to this country here. we ve seen 100 plus migrants illegally cross in over my shoulder right now. this is a small group. they re waiting to be processed by border patrol. you can stand here every day in eagle pass, texas and basically see it s happening. we were here yesterday and the day before and saw 100 plus migrants each day. border patrol tells
sending toward splash down. alex, they re able to take more time to inspect the cat sal at splash down as opposed to once humans are unbound. they only have about two hours when humans are on board to get them out and get them evaluated, and so yes, they will be. we orion perfect and retain for splash down. seconds away. [silence] 1000 feet. good descent rate. [silence] and, alex keep in mind while there are no humans inside this capsule, there are mannequins with sensors measuring everything. again learning expectation.
the waters very suit of about, of california. on the 50 years anniversary of nasa s first moon landing, the return of the unmanned spacecraft to mark the end of this 25-day artemis 1 mission. it s been testing the most powerful rocket yet, as well as the capsule as it was out in deep space. let s go to my fellow science and space geek friend, and colleague, lindsey reiser joining us now from the big board. okay, they re watching this thing with baited breath. all the engineers, they want to see if the heat shields work because that s super key right now. walk us through the mission, the splash down, bring it all to us. alex, party one they said all along was texting those heat shield. the whole thing has been a test. let s look at the launch. this was testing the sls system. the most powerful rocket system nasa has ever built. i was there in person for the launch. it was incredibly powerful. we were five miles away on a still had to brace myself. and then, once orion was successfully
rocket, the booster, the core stage had successfully dropped off, let s go ahead and show you the flight path to show you where paul ryan went. orion went and did a close live eye of the moon, then ritual 40,000 miles past the far side of the moon. then, around another close five by, another 79 miles across the moon. we have incredible images that orion was able to take. images of the length we haven t seen before. you can see her earth on one side, the crescent moon on the other. then, orion used the moons own gravity, sort of slingshot effect to get back to earth and that is where we are today. this incredible splash down here. i believe we also have some images of the navy rehearsing the recovery of the ships, of this capsule. here we go, because it is an incredible feat here, a multi pronged a crutch. this capsule going to come down, 24,500 miles an hour, seven miles a second. these teams are going to be there, they re going to be
they want to make sure that these heat shield did protect orion, because remember alex. the next mission people are going to be on board. this capsule is built for four people now instead of three. there s room for a rowing machine in a ryan, even a laboratory. so, the technology is. there this is a huge test. engineers right now are in the control room, they have said, all right the parachutes have deployed here as we re looking at live pictures. engineers of the entire time, even after the launch said that they re not going to rest until after this moment to make sure everything is going. well these parachutes will slow orion down from mark 32 to 0. astronauts once on board are going to be experiencing this moment, 4g. yeah and they re also going through some communications lap? it s my understanding the last five and a half minutes, because of going through the earth s atmosphere, they have no communication with this. i wonder if that s something they can improve upon, or not?
