breakthrough in space exploration because they can dramatically reduce the cost of getting into orbit. the company already has a $1.6 billion contract with nasa to take cargo resupply missions to the international space station. the next step for space x is launching space craft with astronauts and the u.s. has not done since the retirement of space shuttle leaving it depending on russian rockets and earlier i spoke to mike wall a senior writer at space.com and he said the rockets crash landing is a giant leap for privately run space travel. >> i don't think it was a disappointment and i think it was particular they managed to actually hit that ship in the middle of the ocean a couple hundred miles from the florida coast and it's pretty amazing if you think about it being able to hit the target after coming down from space with this rocket that already has done its primary job of getting the cargo capsule on the way to the space station and

almost made it, people who saw the video can see it was coming down a little too fast and veered it to the side a little bit but nearly pulled it off so i don't see it as disappointing, i thought it was impressive they were nearly to get it and that was only like their second try at this and they are going to keep trying it and they like i say they will keep trying it until they get it right and then they will move it to land this is one step toward like fully rapidly reusable rockets, that is what space x wants to do. finally a movement in the indian capitol to turn public spaces into artistic hot spots and we report. >> reporter: he goes by the name zine and he paints in the most unlikely of places. his canvass like this one in an abandon community center very scattered across new deli. zine one of a growing number of

entertaining. >> reporter: traditionally art exists in controlled spaces but street art brings creative expression into communities, in new deli this means painting canvass in places often used as garbage dumps or even open toilets. indians are still discovering street art and for now it's part activism and part rebellion and they create an anesthetic expression to catch the attention of passersby. like these teenagers who came looking for this quiet corner in a busy commercial neighborhood they are drawn by the graffiti on the walls, they say it's helping to reclaim the city for all its residents. >> look at the city we live in the jungle and the people who use it the most have no interaction with them almost in the general sense of living and the idea is with the work and doing canvas spaces for people to use them. >> reporter: zine feels like he

is doing this too and making places long abandon brighter for those who stumble upon them and his audience may be limited but for zine it's a chance to express himself that really counts i'm with al jazeera, new deli. learn all about this pep. >> sharks don't eat people. >> five days and nights at sea on our especially rigged shark laboratory. exhort research is next. lindsay moran is an ex-c.i.a. operative, and dr. shay is an
