just down the mall from where i m standing near the reflecting pool which is right by the lincoln memorial. they are set for the 9:09 p.m. start time and we re all excited down here. gape, i know it s going to be awesome. thank you so much for the preview. jim? another big july 4th tradition and a wind delay, but not denied. one of the most well-known and grossest fourth of july tradition, the nathan hot dog eating championship. joey chestnut ate 62 hot dogs and buns in ten minutes. the men s competition was on hold for 90 minutes due to a storm in the new york city area. the women s competition, that happened before the storm hit, and mickey won their ninth title devouring 39 and a half hot dogs in ten minutes. not bad for both of them. boris, i wouldn t even come
shatner sitting inside this capsule right now. here is one who has spent so much of his life, so much of his life so closely tied to space, yet he s never actually been to space. here he is minutes away from that becoming a reality. when there was this first wind delay, he talked about how much that delay extended his feelings of excitement and shear terror. so you have to imagine those feelings are even more heightened now that he s actually sitting on top of this, essentially what s a controlled explosive about to launch him and three others into space. when they get there, they re going to be going about 62 miles up. william shatner and the other crew members said they wanted to spend their precious four minutes or so of weightlessness with their faces pressed against the windows of this capsule, really taking in the views of planet earth. that is what the crew of this
