what it is like to be stuck in space. >> they travelled to the international space station back in june. it was supposed to be a ten-day mission. but this morning they're entering day 65 and have been told they may not return until next year. >> february of next year. so for a look at what the astronauts are facing, we want to bring in someone with firsthand experience. a nasa astronaut. he's a veteran of two space flights and now a professor of engineering at columbia university. professor, thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> first, just the big picture here. i mean, you get sent on this craft, the boeing starliner. and now it's delayed. i mean, is this the right call? how worried would you be if you are an astronaut that you went there and your ride is unable to

return? >> i think the astronauts, if i was up there, i would have confidence in the team in place on the ground making those decisions. there is a lot of dedicated people looking at this both at boeing and nasa. the folks in charge there have been there for decades. as an astronaut, my thoughts would be they're going to make the right decision, whether that means we come back on the starliner or stay in orbit a bit longer and come back with a different ride. so i think they have confidence in the team. >> in the meantime, we're hearing potentially february. what about supplies? do they have enough supplies? i don't know, their clothes. >> good question. yes, they do. they try to think of everything and delays can happen. we did have an astronaut that was going on a six-month mission that turned into a one-year mission. they also have supply ships up there. those can be pretty close to the end of the launch time. if they need extra this or that. so they do have deliveries coming there pretty often. >> how do they shower? i mean, i always try to pack extra underwater, but this is ridiculous. >> running water in space is a problem because it floats and it is a commodity. you do the best you can with a

sponge bath. but you don't take a good shower. yeah, that kind of thing. you do the best you can. but you certainly miss it. yeah, you're around each other. after a little bit, you start to -- the only smell inside is that. >> you're all in that together. >> that's not really -- it's really not that bad, believe it or not. >> what about the head space? frankly, your mental health. i'm sure they are able to talk with their family and friends, face-time or something like that. it still has to weigh on your mind if you are stuck. >> maybe missing the holidays potentially, too. >> all of these are valid things to think about. that is the tough part about it, especially when you have your expectation of being around for a long time. your family is prepared. you go in with that mind set and understand we will get delayed a few days or a few weeks. that's crazy. a couple months. they have been up there two months instead of eight days. okay.

but looking at another six months, that will take a shift in mind set, not only for the crews but families and people on the ground. you have holidays. things happen good and bad. >> wish them well. >> absolutely. just having everyone thinking about them, that means a lot to them. i will send them an e-mail. >> yeah. and if they want a care package, a cargo ship. >> we will see if we can arrange that, but certainly it is nice to have people thinking about them. they will be okay. i'm sure they're enjoying their time as best they can. >> we are thinking of them. thanks, mike. >> my pleasure. oh, thanks for having me. >> time for another check of someone who is delightful. >> well, thank you. hey, guys, look at this. they had this crazy dust devil, beach devil kind of that cap and gown in florida near destin beach. picked up a lot of umbrellas and sent things flying.

that can dangerous. thankfully that is done. by the way, the perseid meteor shower. >> oh, yeah. tell the people. look up! >> did you hear that? >> mike says the perseid meteor shower. sunday night look to the northeast. we will be seeing 50 to 75 meteors visible per hour. the moon sets around 11:00, so the best viewing will be around midnight. stay away from outside lights. here is we are looking at great viewing conditions. northeast, great lakes looking good. mostly clear near the southeast. some clouds along the coast, but sections of the west coast going to be great for looking at that meteor shower. unfortunately poor air quality due to the wild fires and plenty of sunshine in the mid-section of the country.

how did you do it? >> yeah. for everyone that doesn't know, speed climbing is an elimination format. i lost in the semifinals, so that took me out of contention for the gold medal. i just composed myself and said i'm going to do it. i lost it once, got it back and then set a new world record at 4.74, beating my own world record. >> well done, sam. >> it is a big thing. >> we want to toast all of you. bring in the champagne. well done. a toast to you, a toast to all of the athletes, a toast to all of the athletes here in paris. congratulations. congrats! such a great job. >> great job, my friend. >> come on home. thank you to our athletes. >> all right, yes. >> up next, we are heading out to the plaza for a can't miss concert from maggie rogers.

y disfrutando de nuestra mañana we are back with maggie rogers and just enjoying our morning with her. her latest album is called "don't forget me." gearing up for your best tour yet.

tell me about this process. >> i think the creative process is sometimes just best when you can let go. i was able to be really present. and i didn't really think that i was making a record. i thought that i was just making some songs with a friend. and we turned around afterwards and liked the way it sounded. and it just worked. >> your tour kicks off in october. you are hitting some of your biggest venues yet. how exciting is that? >> i get to play two nights at madison square garden, which is so insane to me. but i also get to play like the bridge stone arena in nashville where a couple years ago i got to play there with kacey musgraves and harry styles and we had this amazing show. to be able to come back a couple years later and headline it feels really special. >> i love that you are encouraging fans to treat it like it is 1965 and physically go and buy tickets. in fact, you were out selling

tickets as well. what is a part of that? >> i feel like it is difficult to get concert tickets into the hands of people that want to be there that the technology actually already exists. it is just being in person. it's been so nice to go around the country, sell tickets to these shows, make sure i could give them to the fans in person so there is no waiting in line. the stress of trying to buy a concert ticket. i don't understand how box works. i never will. it made me happy to know when i get on stage and see the faces of the wonderful people out there, those are the people that wanted to be there. >> and you will open for cold play, too. >> so excited. we're heading to europe to open for cold play. i get to hear sparks every night. i'm just like, i can't wait. and i get to keep learning. you know, to watch them on stage is just a master class. >> well, it's all good stuff ahead. maggie, let's let you play one more song for this crowd. >> thank you so much.much.
