the next stage. er lnobody will do it quite lik her. there will only ever be one serena williams. don riddell, cnn. the next hour of "newsroom" starts right now. buenos dias, good morning, it is saturday, september 3rd. i'm boris sanchez. >> my, boris. i'm amara walker. you are in "the cnn newsroom." nasa may try to launch the artemis rocked on an historic mission around the world. preparations are under way right now at the kennedy space center in florida, including some troubleshooting. officials say today's launch window is still on track for this afternoon at 2:17 p.m. but nasa still dealing with that liquid hydrogen leak that is causing delays in fueling up the rocket.

>> at last check, they've tried a few different ways to troubleshoot it, to fix the problem. no word yet on whether they've been able to stop it at this point. this follows monday's scrubbed launch which was largely due to an engine cooling problem. it was a tricky sensor that was off. but engineers remain optimistic that today there will be a launch. for now, the weather has been cooperating so that helps. nasa meteorologists predict about 60% favorable conditions, which increases to 80% as the day goes on. of course this historic mission marks the next chapter of lunar exploration and will land the first woman and first person of color on the moon in a matter of years. >> let's go now to cnn's space and defense correspondent kristin fisher live this morning from the kennedy space center. i don't think kristin has us. can you hear us? >> reporter: hey, guys, i'm having a hard time with my

earpiece so i can't quite hear what you said. let me bring you up to speed from the kennedy space center. we're listening to nasa engineers as they try to troubleshoot this hydrogen like a. plan "a" didn't work, plan "b" didn't work, they weren't able to come up with a plan "c" so they went back to plan "a." plan "a" is essentially trying to warm up and then cool back down this leaky hose, so to speak, so try to get this hy hydrogen going back here. this is the artemis rocket, the sls rocket, orion capsule on top, where some day, if this thing ever takes off, this is where the crew would be. the hydrogen leak is from an eight-inch line that goes right in about here. essentially what they're trying to do, this fuel that goes in,

the liquid hydrogen, very cold, negative 420 degrees fahrenheit. so the seal is where the problem is. and so they're trying to make that seal warmer and then colder again to kind of thermally shock it back into sealing. but again, they've tried this once before and it didn't work. now they're trying it for a second time. but, you know, boris and amara, or -- i'm sorry, the times are getting confusing now, it's sara now. the big question now, sara, is there enough time left on the countdown clock to make up for all this time that they've spent troubleshooting. it just doesn't look like there is. there are some built-in holds where nasa could make up lost time. but as of now there's a pretty good chance nasa may have to try again on monday.

that's the next launch attempt. there's another potential launch attempt on tuesday. if they can't go during this window, amara and boris, they'll have to roll this entire rocket back to the vertical assembly building, which takes just a ton -- a lot of time and also puts a lot of strain on this rocket, which is like moving a skyscraper or the statue of liberty four miles down the road, boris and amara. >> gosh, that's so disappointing. let's keep our fingers crossed. kristin fisher, thank you very much. let's go to our meteorologist, what is weather looking like at that time, 2:17 to 4:17? >> we have a chance of getting the rocket off the ground, all dependent on whether or not

we're dealing with clouds and lightning. lightning not only within the storm but well, thrust of the rocket itself. within ten miles, we're dealing well, with the threat of a few showers. you see lightning, but it's not just the lightning with the storms, but also the lightning with the thrust as it takes off. so not just the threat of rain right now off into the atlantic, but a few of these showers and storms may brush the coastline. and we're watching the winds closely with this. an east wind now starting to push in. that's a good thing, because with the heat of the day, the sea breeze will kick up and that stronger east wind pushes most of that rain inland. we'll have a better chance for liftoff or an all clear as we progress through the upcoming hours. minute by minute for you, later this morning into the afternoon, the showers and thunderstorms will start to fire up with warmer temperatures. expect peak heating around 2:00,

3:00. that's when we can start to see the sea breeze really kick in. >> at least it seems like the weather is complying with the launch for today. britley ritz, thank you so much for the update. cnn aerospace analyst miles o'brien is with us. and former nasa astronaut mike massamino is with us as well. good morning, gentlemen, great to have you. miles, i want to put a live picture of the artemis i rocket. they've been working on this hydrogen leak all morning. i notice that it appears that there's some fluffy stuff, some white stuff coming out of the side of the core engine that i didn't see before. does that mean anything to you? >> that's just natural gassing that occurs or off-venting that occurs as both the liquid hydrogen or in this case liquid hydrogen oxygenized because there's more of it onboard right now, as it boils away, as it's

sitting there on the launch pad. you're not really seeing the leak there, you're just seeing the boil-off. the leak itself, what you have to understand is that hydrogen is the lightest, smallest element on the periodic table. it's very difficult to keep it from -- in a place that you want it. and this is what has bedeviled this space launch system. every time they roll it out to the launch pad and put liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen in it, they seem to have difficulty in particular with the liquid hydrogen leaks at various stages in the game. here we are once again with a leak in the hoses which connect the fuel tank on the rocket to the hydrogen tank on the ground. they have to keep that constantly replenished up until the last minute before launch. >> and mike, you've got a lot of degrees but you're also a mechanical engineer. this is perfect. so, i mean, people want to know, is this going to go or knock?

is this leak repairable, in your opinion, before the launch window closes or in time to meet the launch window? >> well, amara, i'm not 100% sure, but i'm not the guy making that decision. so there's some really smart people. mike serafin is a friend of mine, i worked with him in mission control for years at nasa, he's the program manager and a lot of smart people are looking into this. i think the rocket ship is in good hands. it could be something that might delay them for another day. it might be something, as miles said, these things, hydrogen, cryogenic fuels, there's always some leakage, there's always some burn-off. they may do it effectively to make this window. they're looking at it in all different ways to make sure they'll be able to go. if not, they'll wave off. little things happen. i don't know if this is big enough to have them wave off

today. everything else looks pretty good. i still think there's a good chance they'll go. >> mike, let's say they do wave it off today, how does that impact the entire plan for artemis? does that delay things, can they make the time up? how does that work? >> it just means you try another day. sometimes it's weather, sometimes it's a technical issue. there's all kind of things that affect a launch. when i invited my friends to see a launch at nasa, i planning a vacation to florida and you may see a launch. you never know you're going until the main engines light, then you know you might be going somewhere that day. but until that happens, they make sure everything is okay, and if there's anything that's going to really put you at risk, they're not going to go. that said, they do want to go, so if it's a problem they can fix with confidence, they'll go.

if they can't go today, the next opportunity is monday. if that doesn't work, they'll try to go at the end of the month. they can't go every day, there are certain restrictions, where the moon is, where the rocket will rendezvous and so on. people will understand that and we'll eventually get off the ground. but they're really close. even if it's not today, they're close to getting this thing going. >> i just don't like hearing "there's always tomorrow," we've all been waiting for this moment. >> that's the space business. >> exactly. and i'm sure it's not difficult to get people to come vacation in florida. miles, this is the largest rocket nasa has ever built, right? big picture, how much effort did it take to get to this moment? >> well, it's really, depending on how you count, it's about 18 years in the making, if you go back to the predecessor campaign, the constellation program. it is the most powerful rocket that nasa has ever built.

15% more thrust than the mighty saturn v which took people to the moon in the '60s and early '70s. it's a rocket that is $4.1 billion for a single launch. the idea was to come up with a rocket made of shuttle parts and literally the engines on this rocket have flown to space on space shuttles. and that that would be faster and better and cheaper. but it's actually been slower and very expensive. whether it's better is to be determined. >> we'll going to leave it there. miles o'brien and mike massamino, we appreciate it, thank you very much. we're following breaking news out of mississippi. governor tate reeves says state authorities are tracking a plane whose pilot is threatening to intentionally crash into a local tupolo walmart. >> let's get right to cnn's nadia romero.

what's the latest you can tell us, nadia? >> reporter: boris and amara, we know that at 5:00 a.m., the pilot made contact with 911, calling in, saying he was going to intentionally crash his plane into a walmart in tupelo, mississippi on main street. authorities evacuated that walmart store and the surrounding area. we've reached out to walmart but have yet to receive comment. we do know that the faa and the tsa are both monitoring the situation. but it's the local police authorities who are the first contact, figuring out what's happening here as this develops in real time. we have video now of that plane circling around that walmart. this is the statement released by the governor of mississippi, tate reeves, saying state law enforcement and emergency managers are closely tracking this dangerous situation. all citizens should be on alert and aware of updates from the

tupelo police department. local police say they have been in contact with the pilot and they tell us he's flying likely a king air, a common turboprop engine aircraft. aviation experts tell cnn this plane will likely have a tail number. think of a tail number on the back of a plane, just like the license plate on your car if you get it registered. that number is so important to planes, it tells you about the aircraft, the manufacturer, the age. it also tells you about the owner. and so that is an important number that will be tracked and followed. we also heard from an aviation expert telling cnn there could be a transponder on the plane, to track that plane as well. if you look at a map, he is flying north of tupelo. the closest major city is memphis, tennessee, only a hundred miles away. that allows for a much bigger target if he's planning to intentionally crash. boris, amara? >> i just want to make a quick

moat, nadia romero is actually in jackson, mississippi covering the water crisis there as a result of intense flooding. she's now covering what is being threatened in tupelo. so mad inadia romero, thank you much. let's bring back in miles o'brien. miles, the plane is said to be a king air type. give us a sense of scale, what exactly does that mean and what does it tell you about the situation? >> it's sort of a mid-sized twin-engine turboprop aircraft, favored for business aviation. dripping wet on the ramp, depending on which model it weiis, it weighs about 16,000 pounds, to give you an idea of scale. they first came out in the early '60s. there's many iterations of it, very successful, built by beechcraft which is now owned by textron. there are so many versions and models of it that it's difficult to say much more about its range

which is obviously critical. it's been in the air now for more than four hours, evidently. if he checked in at 5:00 a.m. local time, it's 6:00 a.m. eastern. he's getting to the end of his fuel, depending on his parameters and how the engines are set. it's definitely something that could cause quite a bit of damage to a building. if we get the tail number, we'll know more about the make, model, and of course the ownership. i would presume at this point there is some effort under way to intercept this aircraft at some level in the air whether through air national guard resources or some other type of aircraft in order to get eyes on it and see what's going on. but very troubling, to say the least. >> could you talk a little bit more about that, miles, in terms of how authorities would actually intercept this aircraft

and also are pilots in that area being notified as well? >> well, i mean, if you had, you know, a high performance fighter of some kind, it wouldn't be too difficult to reach a king air, depending on the speed it was flying. i don't know offhand exactly where the nearest air national guard base might be, but i'm sure there's an effort to see what's going on with that aircraft and possibly intercept, at least understand what's going on on board that aircraft in greater detail. but clearly, you know, a very troubling threat. and if the pilot chooses to were i to bring it down on that walmart, that's not a good thing at all. as time goes on and the fuel becomes more scarce, this situation will come to a head, the laws of physics will apply here. >> miles, i'm wondering if there's a plan in place for this sort of thing. i can't imagine this is the

first time that something like this has happened. do you know of what authorities might have in place? you mentioned air national guard. is there a playbook for this kind of situation? it just seems awfully bizarre. >> well, i mean, you could hearken back to 9/11, and the intercept of the aircraft that ultimately crashed in shanksville, pennsylvania. the air national guard craft at the time that intercepted that airliner which was of course commandeered by those hijackers on that horrible day, they were not even armed, those air national guard aircraft. whether there would be an armed fighter jet nearby and whether it would be in any way appropriate to do something like that, way beyond my pay grade in understanding of what the rules of operation are. but i do know this, that, you know, sense 9/11, there has been greater awareness of the possibility that at some point in the future, military aircraft might have to intercept and

bring down an airliner, which is a horrible thought. that's not what this case is, but it's an interesting thing to think about. >> from discussing outer space to the strange and bizarre, miles o'brien, we hope you stand by. we'll of course keep watching the story and bring you up to speed with the latest updates. thank you, miles. >> thank you, miles. >> you're welcome. still to come this morning, thousands of documents and dozens of empty folders. a federal judge revealing exactly what was found at trump's mar-a-lago residence. plus emotional moments as serena williams walks off the court after losing at the u.s. open. a look back at what is likely her last match. our smart sleepers get 28 minutes more restful sleep per night. don't miss our labor day weekekend special. save 50% on the sleep number 360 limited edition smart t be. ends labor day.

a detailed inventory of the files recovered by the fbi at mar-a-lago during the search last month. for more on the documents and what they reveal, let's bring in cnn reporter marshall cohen. good morning, marshall. we cut a lot of unexpected detail in this inventory, right? >> reporter: we did, good morning, guys. new details thanks to this unsealed document from the federal court in florida. so we're getting more insights into what they took. we already had the big picture on what the fbi took from mar-a-lago. now we've got more details. it basically was an item by item inventory. one of the most interesting revelations here was that the 103 classified documents that they took from mar-a-lago were interspersed with press clippings, with clothing, even, and gifts. this is something that really raised alarm for investigators because you're supposed to very carefully keep track of these

classified documents. they're not supposed to be strewn around with other personal items. also, according to these court filings, investigators retrieved more than 11,000 nonclassified government documents. but they're still presidential records that are the property of the united states government. so fbi agents doing that during the search. also, guys, they found dozens of empty folders that were marked "classified" on the outside but had nothing inside the folder, which of course is raising all kinds of questions, like what's in the folder, what's missing, are there documents that might still be classified somewhere at mar-a-lago? those are the big takeaways from the search. it's a good thing we're learning this. the judge has erred on the side of transparency, releasing unsealed -- unsealing more records. and now we get a better glimpse of what was found at mar-a-lago. >> and we know that the unsealing of the inventory all stems from trump's request for a

special master, this independent arbiter to review the mar-a-lago documents and separate his privileged or private documents from the ones that were seized. are we getting any sense of when the judge is going to make that decision? >> reporter: it's 100% up to her. it's whether or not she wants to work on this holiday weekend. a ruling could come at any moment. but this was a big case, about the documents. donald trump says that he doesn't trust the justice department to go through these materials. he doesn't trust the fbi to do it. he has asked for a special master which is kind of an antiquated term, it's really just a reference to a third party attorney that would be brought in from outside the government to look at these materials. the judge convened a pretty blockbuster hearing on thursday, and she seemed to be leaning in the direction of granting former president trump some relief. she had tough questions for the justice department. and her ruling could come at any time. however, outside of court, the doj has found an unlikely ally

in former attorney general bill barr who of course was a huge trump supporter and a real ally of the former president during his tenure. take a listen to what bill barr said about this case yesterday on fox news. >> i think that the whole idea of a special master is a bit of a red herring. at this stage, since they've already gone through the documents, i think it's a waste of time. >> reporter: so you can see where he stands. of course it's not up to him, it will be up to the judge. and we are waiting for her decision, guys. >> we know you will be eagerly anticipating that decision and will talk us loothrough it. marshall cohen, thanks for joining us. residents in jackson, mississippi have not had clean water for nearly a week. we'll take you there, in momentnts.

jackson, mississippi residents are facing a sixth day since a major water plant failed, leaving thousands of people without access to clean tap water. amid the crisis, fema administrator deanne criswell traveled there just as another attempt to restore water failed. joining me is a senior fellow at the brookings institution's metropolitan policy program and author of "know your price: valuing black lives and property in america's black cities." the perfect person to talk to this morning.

thank you, andre, for doing this. first off, i just got back from mississippi, jackson, yesterday, or thursday. and, you know, it was just astounding to see people struggling for the most basic human thing, drinking water. we all know this has been decades in the making. this is happening once again in a majority black city. i believe the population of jackson is 40% black, a quarter of that population living in poverty. we saw this happening in another majority black city, flint, in 2014. how much does race have to do with this? >> as we know, race and racism plays a lot in where we live, our land use policy, and ultimately our utilities. now, in an ideal sense, infrastructure is shared. it serves as the foundation for economic development for health, for transportation, and many other things.

for water in particular in mississippi, it's management at the municipal level. and we know segregation and the composition of race really impacts how we invest in those places. sometimes we don't necessarily -- we don't have to necessarily discriminate against people when you can discriminate against whole neighborhoods. and so in large part, what we've seen over years and years is this lack of investment and also white flight. the population shifted, roughly in 1990, it was about 50% black. now it's 80% black. and with those, the loss of whites in those towns, you lose tax revenue and you lose the money to keep the infrastructure safe and sound. >> who would you say is to blame? i know you just mentioned it goes down to the management at the municipal level.

but, you know, being on the ground there and hearing the mayor say over and over we've been at this alone for many years. and i know back in 2021 after that crippling storm in jackson which damaged the pipes and shut down the entire water system, unbelievably, after that, i know that city officials had been asking for i think it was $47 million from the state and the state only gave $3 million. so who is to blame here? >> i won't say if there's any one person to blame. i will say that water is fundamental and essential for living. and we must treat it so by creating shared systems in which -- that are not so susceptible to demographic shifts. if a person population moves out, we still need clean water. if that funding is not there, you need more of a regional approach to paying for those facilities.

so there's an idea called one water. it's an integrated approach to managing water. we should move there. bennie thompson, representative bennie thompson, is asking for a regional water authority. i think that's the way towards a solution. but it is clear that this problem, in terms of blame, is shared, unlike the infrastructure that is in place. >> who would be in charge of the regional water system? >> they come up with regional boards, oftentimes. sometimes those regional boards are stacked with members of the community who don't look like those residents, the overall residents. but we need to -- we can fix that. we can have an inclusive board of some type. but there needs to be some type

of regional approach. just as we have electricity and gas, we can have in water as well. >> i do want to ask you about this because obviously there needs to be political pressure as well, right, and there needs to be a stronger political voice, and the city's population, as we're mentioning, predominantly black, yet the state's legislature is predominantly white, right? how does that all factor in when it comes to underinvestment in these communities? >> there is a racialized p pree preemption. preemption is a higher authority which trumps the lower authority, in this case the state would trump the city. there is a racialized version that have going on in jackson and mississippi in general. many mayors have asked for fixes to the system and it's not occurred. they've blocked many tax policies, proposals to generate more revenue. in addition, states and counties have not invested in people in

jackson, in terms of this overall economic development. if you're not building new structures, new businesses and the like, you're not going to get infrastructure built around it. the lack of overall investment in people throttles the amount of income revenue that people in jackson have to contribute to their own infrastructure. so i think what needs to happen is to put pressure on the governor, not just have the governor cry for help when a disaster hits, but to really invest in all of its residents, including those in jackson. >> got to be proactive. andre perry, we're out of time. thank you so much. we're continuing to follow that breaking news out of mississippi where police say a pilot threatened to intentionally crash into a walmart. the situation appears to still be ongoing. we have an update just minutes away. stay with cnn.

we're continuing to follow the breaking news out of mississippi where authorities are monitoring a pilot circling over the state after threatening to crash a small plane. >> let's bring in cnn's pete muntean. pete, you've been tracking the story since we first hurt about it. what have you learned from authorities about what's happening right now? >> reporter: boris, a government source familiar now tells me the plane is over holly springs national forest and that tupelo police who were initially communicating with this pilot, we think via phone, are now no longer in touch with the pilot. this plane, you can see in this video, was circling overhead tupelo, mississippi earlier today. this all began around 7:45 in the morning central time, 8:45 on the east coast. so this has been going on on about two hours. i can tell you just by eyeballing a lot of this video, this plane is what's known as a beechcraft king air c-90, has a

top speed of 250 knots, about 275 miles an hour. it has a fuel endurance, depending on the model, of between four and six hours. we also know from some of the initial reports around this, information coming from the governor of mississippi, also from local authorities, that the person who is piloting this plane, we don't know whether or not this person is a pilot, was an airport employee. so there are some big questions about how this person got into the airplane, started the airplane, and then took off. the reports say initially from the tupelo airport. and the initial reports also say that this pilot was threatening to crash this plane into the tupelo, mississippi walmart. but we now know from this government source who tells me that this plane has flown away, it has essentially gone over to a national forest and is now over that area as well. unclear what the outcome will be

here. could the plane run out of fuel? we're not totally sure, we're only two hours into this. could the pilot land successfully? also unsure. we're not sure if this person is a pilot or trained. we do think or at least i think that this person at least has some good familiarity with flying if they were able -- if they were not a pilot, able to start this airplane and take off. they would have had to have had at least some aviation knowledge. still unclear if this person is a trained pilot although we do know he was an airport employee. >> so the tsa and local authorities are all monitoring this. do we know what the plan is, protocol, i guess, to intercept this plane if they had to at some point? >> reporter: really there is no protocol. we know from the horizon air incident back in seattle several years ago, when an airport employee essentially broke into

a dashliner and flew over islands and crashed into one of those islands. we know there were fighter jets sent after the airliner in that case. in this case, we're not sure. we've reached out to the local air national guard in mississippi. they're not able to tell us what their plan is just yet. we know the faa is monitoring this. they're the authority that essentially controls the radar stations that would be able to track this airplane and figure out exactly where it is. but the faa doesn't have any sort of ability to intercept an airplane. that would be more or less up to the military or some military apparatus, some extension of it, whether it be the air guard or the air force. so we'll have to see. it is usually the last resort in something like this. so if police are in communication with this pilot, they're likely trying to talk him down and get him back on the ground without hurting himself or herself or anybody on the

ground as well. so we'll see as this plays out, amara. >> we certainly hope the resolution is a peaceful one. pete, just for the sake of clarity, when we first got information about this, officials had told us that the pilot called 911 at about 5:00 a.m. local time. it sounds like you're getting updated information. just to have an idea of how much time, how much fuel may still be in the tank on this plane, the information you have is the latest, most updated one, and apparently it's only been in the air for about two hours? >> reporter: you know, i could be wrong on the times here, boris, i'm still getting up to speed. a king air 90 like this, if you look at the statistics online, i've talked to folks who have flown them, they fly for about four hours if they're full of fuel completely, depending on the model, if it's a c-90. there's also an e-90 which has extended fuel tanks, that can fly for about six hours. as time goes on, the options get more and more limited.

the plane could run out of fuel. at that point, an airplane like a king air just essentially turns into a glider. so taking the stored-up energy in the airplane from being at altitude and coming in for a landing without any engine power, that would be a tricky situation, especially for any pilot, really, but especially for a nonpilot. again, we do not know. we don't know if this person is a pilot or not. so we'll have to see as this pans out. it's still in the early hours yet. >> it will have to come to an end at some point. pete muntean, appreciate you joining us, thank you. of course we'll continue to monitor the situation, give you those updates as they come in. we'll be right back. it's time for the biggest sale of the year, on the sleep number 360 smart bed. it's temperature balancing, so you both say cool. our smart sleepers get 28 minutes more restful sleep per night.

downswing. she's such a fighter and that was on display last night. the crowd was raucous, the loudest i've heard this entire week, trying to will her to another victory. she lost the first set. serena dug so deep like she has done so many times, she wasn't going down without a fight. she played some of the best points she's played in the tournament, this year in fact, to get to this second set. even when struggling in the third set, she would not quit, she staved off five match points before finally falling in a three hour and five minute match, the longest of her career. she certainly got emotional when the reality of the moment hit her right after. >> it all started with my parents and they deserve everything. so i'm really grateful for them. oh, my god. these are happy tears, i guess.

i don't know. and i wouldn't be -- i wouldn't be serena if there wasn't venus, so thank you, venus. she's the only reason se certiserena williams ever existed. >> reporter: she was so honest and vulnerable, like she has been this entire week, letting us in to how she's truly feeling. if this was her last match, she walks away as a legend, 14 doubles titles with venus, four olympic gold medals. coco gauff saying, serena, thank you, it's because of you i believe in this dream, the impact goes beyond any words that can be put together and for that i say thank you, thank you, thank you g.o.a.t. tiger woods saying, serena williams, you are literally the greatest on and off the court, thank you for inspiring all of
