International Space Station. The latest Joint Venture between nasa and spacex. Our rachel crane is there. Cabrerab we know the mission was delayed for a day because of the weather. Conditions look good today. Tell us what you are seeing and what the mood is there. Reporter thats right, christine. All systems are a go, it has been a smooth countdown and we are track noog issues for the scheduled launch today at 5 49 even time this morning. Let me tell you about where we are in the countdown of todays launch. The astronauts are currently suited up, strapped into their seats, the hatch of endeavor is closed. There has been a series of systems checks, coms checks, leak checks that have been conducted. The next major milestone is 45 minutes before launch, so were just minutes away from that, when spacex Launch Director will do the go for propellant call. 35 minutes before countdown is when they will start loading up over a Million Pounds of propellant, Liquid Oxygen which they called locks and rp 1 which is the rocket grade kerosene. So that will be loaded into the system here and whats really unique about the rocket today and the spacecraft is they are both flight proven. They have both flown to space already. The falcon 9 booster, you can see the scorch marks and soots on it which is spacex they decide not to repaint it, why spend the money, why waste the time. They are proud of those scorch marks because that is a tent pole of their strategy, reusability, reusing the systems they fly to space. Let me tell you about the astronauts that are on board, we have a multinational crew, we have a jaksa astronaut and we have two Astronauts Shane Kim Brow and Megan Mcarthur. Megans husband is bob benkin. Back in may of 2020 her husband was on that demo 2 flight, i was lucky enough to witness t that was the First Crewed Mission from american soil in nearly a decade. Megan is flying in the exact same seat as her husband did nearly a year ago. A lot of excitement here, christine, at the Kennedy Space center. I was starting to get the Launch Butterflies, the astronauts are cool and composed but im sure theyre getting jazzed too. You can start to feel the energy is changing as we are within an hour of that launch window. Literally a power couple at work and really exciting. We know there is a lot of energy there and we will be back with you shortly. We know a lot of people are up early or staying up late so they can make sure they dont miss a single moment of this launch. Thank you. You can just feel rachels excitement. The cdcs Vaccine Advisers meet today to discuss the fate of Johnson Johnsons singledose coronavirus vaccine. In the last few hours cnn has learned officials in oregon are looking into a death that could be linked to that shot. In texas a woman who received the vaccine is now hospitalized with potential blood clots. Still important here, no official link between these rare clots and the vaccine has actually been confirmed. Out of nearly 7 million shots the number of reported clots remains remarkably small. South africa and the eu have decided to start using the Johnson Johnson vaccine. Dr. Anthony fauci said last night he wouldnt be surprised if the u. S. Makes a similar decision as europe, opting to have the vaccine carry a warning but finding that the shots benefits ultimately outweigh the risks. All those shots, warmer weather, money flowing to americans a multipronged boost to the economic recovery. We know weekly jobless claims hit the lowest of the pandemic 547,000 people filing for the first time for jobless benefits, a claim far higher than prepandemic levels but we can see the layoffs are slowing. About 17. 4 Million People receiving some sort of jobless benefit, that shows you the depth of the crisis. But we are seeing a spring thaw in the jobs market. The irs and treasury sent out another 2 million stimulus checks bringing the total to 161 million payments, 397 billion, money going into americans pockets. Travel is picking back up.

More questions this morning about what happened to andrew brown jr. , he was fatally shot by police in North Carolina on wednesday. Neighbors describing a chaotic scene, a car pulling away, then shots fired. The county Sheriffs Office claims its Special Operations and Tactical Team was trying to serve brown with a felony drug arrest warrant. The deputies body cameras were activated but the state bureau of investigations says in North Carolina Body Cam Footage can only be released with a court order. In minneapolis Daunte Wrights family and friends remembered him at his funeral thursday. He was literally the life of the party. When he came in, you know, the smile, his laugh, his laugh was really contagious. I didnt get to tell him i loved him before he left. The joy that junior brought to dauntes life was truly amazing. He was so happy and so proud and he always said he couldnt wait to make his son proud. So hard to look at that baby there. And in columbus, ohio, the woman who was providing foster care for Makhia Bryant said they were arguing over their home being messy before Police Showed up. Bryant appears to be lunging toward another person with a knife as an officer shoots her. Some are asking if there is another way that he could have deescalated the situation. That investigation remains ongoing. Republican senator tim scott of South Carolina will deliver the republican rebuttal to President Bidens joint address to Congress Next week. Daniella diaz live on kplil this morning. Why senator scott . Reporter christine, its a big job and it doesnt seem like theres another person that can do it right now than senator tim scott. He has been tasked with delivering the republican message, response, to president joe bidens address to the joint Congress Next week where biden will lay out the priorities of his administration. So its a big job, as i said, and, you know, i cant imagine anyone else doing it other than tim scott. Its incredibly timely because he is currently negotiating on behalf of republicans on Police Reform legislation given Derek Chauvins guilty verdict this week. Right now scott and congresswoman karen bass who is negotiating on behalf of democrats are working on a bipartisan bill to pass through the senate so that they can get ten republicans so sign on to this legislation. They are still trying to reconcile their differences on this issue. For example, scott opposes democratic efforts to lower the Legal Standard to prosecute individual officers and congresswoman karen bass is pushing to change federal law to ensure that Police Officers can be charged for reckless misconduct rather than willful misconduct under existing law. Right now its about trying to lower the threshold needed to prosecute individual officers but they are both incredibly optimistic that they will be able to reach a deal. Its incredibly timely given the fact that scott is negotiating on behalf of republicans on this legislation that he will deliver the countermessage on behalf of republicans to president joe bidens speech next week.

Running out of air, the United States sending what it calls airborne has sits to help with this desperate search for a missing indonesian submarine. Time is critical. Oxygen on the sub about to run out and quickly with 53 crew members trapped on board. Blake essig is live in tokyo for us. Overnight we know the Indonesian Navy detected some sort of object at the search site. What more can you tell us . Reporter yeah, laura, this Search And Rescue operation is focused on an area about 60 miles off the coast of bali. Earlier today Navy Officials said that a ship with sonar capabilities detected an unidentified object with high magnetism 50 to 100 meters below sea level. We have not received updates regarding what that might be. Sadly the facts as we know them right now dont paint a positive picture for the 53 people on board this missing indonesian sub. If the crews are still alive and thats a big if at this point Navy Officials say that the submarine only has enough oxygen for the crew to survive until saturday at 3 00 a. M. Local time, thats about nine hours from now. Navy Officials Say that this particular sub built in the late 1970s doesnt have a rescue seat and has a Dive Capability of 500 meters but its believed to be at a depth of 700 meters. If thats the case experts say the submarine could implode under the pressure. With a Submarine Rescue Expert telling cnn that its salvation is entirely in its own hands. Contact with the submarine was lost on wednesday morning and an oil spill was detected after that. Officials believe that the spill is a result of the submarine tank leaking because it is too deep or that the crew released all the fluid on board to help the submarine rise to the surface. All that being said this is still a Search And Rescue mission and the clock is ticking to bring the 53person crew back home safely. Nine hours is not a lot of time to get this done. Thank you for staying on top of it. Japan is expected to take serious any measures to contain a dangerous surge in coronavirus there. All part of a late push to salvage the summer leemps. Selina wang is live for us this osaka, japan. Reporter thats right. It is extremely concerning, they are three months away from the Tokyo Olympics and the situation here continues to get worse. Japan is struggling to contain the fourth wave of covid cases which is largely driven by more contagious covid variants. You have the Prime Minister imminently expected to announce a State Of Emergency that would cover host city tokyo, osaka, two other prefectures as well. This is not a hard lockdown but it is going to require likely large establishments like Shopping Malls to temporarily close, but the big question is is this even going to work . Tokyo, osaka and many parts of japan have been under a quasi State Of Emergency that requires restaurants and bars to close early. Japan recently revised its laws to allow penalties for Rule Violators but so far none of that has worked. Covid fatigue has clearly set in, you can see that walking through the streets of japan, still major crowds on streets and trains and meantime you have less than 1 of the population fully vaccinated, the majority of Health Care Workers also even havent gotten a vaccine. Here in osaka where i am right now this is the epicenter of this wave, about 80 of the cases here experts say are driven by these more contagious variants. So concerning indeed just months away, christine.

Im pete muntean in washington. Federal officials are considering an extension of the transportation mask mandate. It is set to expire in three weeks on may 11th.

In just a few hours day two of President Bidens Climate Summit begins. On day one a new white house pledge to slash u. S. Carbon emissions by 50 by 2030, right in line with what the u. N. Says is needed to avoid catastrophic global warming. President biden urging other countries to go big as well an approach already showing results. Cnns Jasmine Wright is live at the white house for us. Jasmine, good morning to you. The administration clearly trying to reestablish the u. S. As a leader on climate. What do we expect for day two . Reporter thats exactly right. Look, President Biden is trying to undo the actions of former President Trump and actually go further. This time on climate, as you said, reemerging the u. S. As a world global leader. So on day two white house Officials Say that we can expect the white house to tie this issue to the economy and its a similar playbook to what they did with the covid relief bill as well as an infrastructure package rollout, were going to see that again today. Already some of the administrations efforts are starting to bear fruit with global leaders. We have seen them really reup their commitments including china, the worlds top consumer of coal, really trying to meet these levels that this administration is trying to set. So yesterday when talking to Reporters Climate Special Climate Envoy john kerry did not minut mince his words when he talked about how the effort went, what it took for this administration to get here after trump. We had to restore americas credibility. We had to prove that we were serious. And i think today does that in many ways. In a way that reinforces the fact that this is multilateral, that we need to bring all the countries of the world to the table and we all need to raise ambition. Reporter so, laura, that raising the ambition notion is already starting to take set in the u. S. We saw Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer a key ally of President Biden saying that all of the stateowned buildings in michigan will be 100 clean by 2025.

Kremlin critic Alexei Navalnys own doctors are pleading with him to end his Hunger Strike, the alternative they say is all but certain death. Sam kiley has the latest, he joins us from moscow. Sam, any indication here that navalny is actually going to take these doctors advice . Reporter the short answer to that is no. Late last night i was in communication with his Chief Of Staff and his response to exactly that question was i dont know. Now, he may be able to get more sense of which direction mr. Navalny is going to get in this literally life or death decision in many ways, which is also, of course, a political decision for him later on today if hes able to meet with his lawyers and receive the sort of information that everybody else has, which is the advice from his own doctors based on the survey of his health by a team of independent doctors at a civilian hospital, which indicate that he is in imminent danger of renal collapse, Neurological Damage and indeed possible heart stoppage. In short, he could die if he continues with his Hunger Strike. Now, you will recall that his Hunger Strike was over access to independent medical health care. He has in some limited way had that, but it may not be being far enough as far as hes concerned, not least because he is still effectively under treatment for the novichok nerve agent poisoning he endured back in august last year, which the United States and his own movement and the European Union have blamed on the government of vladimir putin. The situation for his health is quite serious. Hes facing potential renal failure, heart issues. So i know youre watching this closely. Very disturbing. All right. Sam, thank you. All right.

I hope youre ready. cause we are. 5 44 eastern time. Live pictures from the Kennedy Space center. We are just minutes away from launch of the crew 2 mission to the International Space station. The four astronauts, they are on board. They are on board that spacecraft. They are ready to go. Back with us now is cnn innovation and space correspondent rachel crane live at Cape Canaveral for us. Talk us through what are the astronauts going to be doing during this trip. I always wonder what are they doing up there. Are they collecting data . Whats happening . Reporter laura, you know, theyre really busy while they are on this flight. Theyre collecting data, but theyre also important to remember they need to sleep. This is about a 24hour journey before they rendezvous with the International Space station. They will be doing all kinds of data checks, but one thing to point out, though, is there is not much in terms of piloting the spacecraft because its designed to fly autonomously. Meaning that, you know, it can kind of fly on its own. But right now, Lawyer Ration i want to bring you up to speed on where we are on the tick tock here before this launch. Were under just about three minutes before launch. You can see the rocket, the sp vapor, the fuel and rp 1, thats what that spoke is coming off of the rocket. Thats what you totally expect to see on the crewed launches as well as the cargo missions. There is over a Million Pounds of propellant loaded into this system here. Important to point out that the rocket, the falcon 9, you can see scorch marks and soot on it. Thats because its already flown to space. It was the exact same booster that flew crew 1 to the International Space station in november. Another first, that Space Capsule, Spacecraft Endeavor has also already flown to space, that was the Space Capsule that brought doug hurley and bob behnken to the International Space station on that historic demo 2 mission in may of 2020. Whats really interesting to moat is Megan Mcarthur who is the nasa astronaut piloting this mission, bob behnken is her husband. She is sitting in the exact same seat that her husband did almost a year ago flying this historic flight. This is of course the third crewed mission for spacex and their crew dragon. This is all of course part of a multibillion Dollar Contract with nasa to take over these Ferry Missions back and forth to the International Space station. Weve been reliant on the russians since 2011 when the Space Shuttle program was retired to get our astronauts back and forth to the International Space station. So this has really been a historic program, the commercial crew program, relying on the commercial sector to take over for these Ferry Missions back and forth to the International Space station. So nasa can focus more on those deep space missions, going back to the moon, going back to going to mars and nasa is hoping to bring us back to the moon as early as 2024, thats part of the art miss mission. You asked about what theyre going to be doing on this journey. One of the things theyre doing on Space Station is experiments, over 200 of them. Some of those experiments are intended specifically to look into the kind of systems they will need to pull off that mission and hopefully get to that 2024 date. Laura, i have crazy Launch Butterflies in my stomach right now, you can feel the mood shifting here at Kennedy Space center, everybody gravitating, looking towards the rocket. We know this is about to take off any second. Im going to, you know im going to stop talking so we can Pay Attention to the nasa feeds and watch this Extraordinary Mission take flight. Lets listen.

The vehicle is pitching down range, nine engines providing 1. 7 Million Pounds of thrust. Hearing good calls first stage performance so far. We are t plus 30 seconds into the Second Rotational Crew Mission On Board Dragon and falcon 9. Falcon 9 will be throttling down the nine Merlin Engines shortly here in preparation for in preparation for maximum Dynamic Pressure. And theres that call out for the throttle down. Maximum Dynamic Pressure max q is the largest structural load that the vehicle sees throughout assent so throttling down does help us past throttling down helps us pass through this period which should be coming here shortly. Max q. There is that callout that we have just passed through max q and we can copy, one bravo. All right. One bravo is the Second Abort Mode on the first stage, the first stage continues to fire for 2 minutes 35 seconds. One and a half minutes into todays flight. Falcon 9 now traveling at more than 1,500 miles an hour. And the engine chill has started. All right. The engine chill for the second stage single Merlin Engine has started. About 30 more seconds of the first stage firing to bring our four astronauts into orbit. Now from here coming up in about 20 some seconds we are going to have three major mile milestones. We will have shutdown of the nine Merlin Engines, we are beginning to throttle them down. We will then get Stage Separation and then we will get Ignition Of The Second Stage engine that propelled dragon and the Falcon 9 Second Stage into or orbit. Two alpha. Copy, two alpha. And we have Ignition Of The Second Stage. You can see the green flash of that fluid. The Expansion Nozzle On The Second Stage merlin vacuum glowing that bright red that we like to s. E. A. L. Good performance on the second stage so far. And on the left side of your screen we saw the Exhaust Of The Second Stage Engine Streaming past the first stage as the grid fans are coming out. We also briefly had a view of the lights of Central Florida in the background. Currently the first stage is continuing to coast up to apagy, it is unpowered and will begin to descend back down into the earths atmosphere will it will light three engines to slow down for a landing on a drone ship in the ocean. The grid fans are deployed. Trajectory nominal. Were pulsing the thrusters. Copy. Normal trajectory. We hear a call out from the crew, nominal trajectory. Were beginning to move the first stage into position so it can do the entry burn. 4 minutes 15 seconds into todays flight. Second stage propelling our four astronauts up the eastern seaboard. We will continue to fire. Its a sixminute burn to deliver the astronauts into orbit. We will wait for a cue for good Orbital Insertion after that. We will be hearing checkins on the vehicles trajectory and performance as well as ground checkins as it passes over throughout the six minutes of the second stage firing. Dragon spacex trajectory nominal. Copy. Nominal trajectory. Getting good views of both the first and second stage from the on board cameras. The New Hampshire Tracking Station has acquired the second stage telemetry signal. The first stage has reached apagy is and is now beginning to descend from a height, its currently about 167 kilometers up. In a few minutes we will get the Entry Burn Of The Second Stage of the first stage. Dragon spacex trajectory nominal. Copy. Nominal trajectory. Right on cue those checkins on the second stage performance, once a minute, everything is looking good on that second stage. Propulsion is nominal. Stage two continues to climb, the vehicle now exceeding 8,000 miles an hour at an altitude of about 124 miles. And just about one minute from now we will begin the entry burn of the first stage. That will consist of lighting the Center Engine and then shortly afterwards two more engines for a threeengine burn to slow down the first stage in preparation for entering the earths atmosphere. Dragon spacex trajectory nominal. Copy. Nominal trajectory. Another checkin, the crew confirming theyre hearing the same thing, the vehicle exceeding or about to exceed about 10,000 miles per hour. Meanwhile, first stage down at 90 kilometers, getting ready to relight three engines for the entry burn. Stage 2 fts is saved. Weve got the Center Engine ignition and there come the two side engines. Now, then tree burn will last about 29 seconds. Its going to significantly slow down the vehicle in preparation for hitting the denser part of the earths atmosphere. Entry burn complete, we are down below 35 kilometers, continuing to look good on the first Stage Heading to the Atlantic Ocean for a landing on the drone ship. Second stage is less than a minute away from cutoff. Stage two in terminal guid guidance. Shannon. Copy, shannon. Shannon called out at the back end of stage two, a few seconds until cutoff. Shutdown. Dragon spacex Launch Escape System disarmed. Launch escape system disarmed. Copy. Dragon spacex nominal orbit inse insertion. Copy. Nominal Orbital Insertion. Right. The Falcon 9 Second Stage has done its job delivering our four crew into orbit. You hear the applause here in hawthorn, waiting to get a video signal back from the drone ship. Of course i still love you. And the view from the on board camera we saw it just briefly. Looks like first stage on the drone ship, getting views of the dragon chart. So the first stage is on the drone ship, successfully landed, and more importantly second stage is in a nominal orbit with the Dragon Spacecraft getting ready for some important events coming up, gary. Thats right. About two more minutes the dragon and the second stage of the falcon 9 will be in a coast phase. It will take that long until the Spacecraft Separates from the falcon 9. Of course, both now in a nominal orbit. Its great to see some of the views of the earth as it passes by over the north Atlantic Ocean
