flashed out. as you can see on your screen we have visual confirmation for smack down the firm's landing capture glides into the gulf of mexico in the control room through tame from space 6 a nasa the u.s. space agency that contract is it for this mission pretty much complete so. even after the landing the danger wasn't over the dragon capsule weighs over $12000.00 kilo is docking it and extracting the 2 astronauts inside a delicate endeavor teams currently working with a few private schools no one at space 6 saw this coming several sightseeing but it's approaching that cap show with it gushing propellant few the pleasure boats were ordered to leave the area immediately. there we can see the lift. in the end the dragon made it to shore out of the water and we have our 1st view and

astronauts doug hurley and bob behnken emerged on to our planet. with the huge thumbs up and an optimistic message for the u.s. and the. moment just. given all that they're going to happen here mission accomplished for nasa and spy 6 you know what an amazing day today we really made history. we are entering a new era of human spaceflight very few but here if you'd like. it's an era when big companies like space 6 and boeing will send rocket ships into outer space along with private crews and spice tourists. preponderance of physical separation for 35 pm pacific the hope and with competition and cost savings will drive innovation space to and help humans go further better soon.

let's go now to keith cowing in washington he's the editor of the space news web site nasa watch dot com thanks for joining us so this is being called as we saw a new air and space flight why was this misson mission so significant. well it's interesting because the idea of putting humans in a capsule and launching him into space is that having them splash down into water isn't necessarily new sifton as was mentioned in your piece we haven't done it here in the states in 45 years we've ridden on crews flying on soviet space russian spacecraft and before that soviet space and they lean only and so we haven't had a chance to do this in a long time but death sustained year and more important things that this spacecraft wasn't a government spacecraft it was bought by the government now the services rather want by the government under a commercial contract with space x. they also have one with boeing so instead of the 10 trend over the past half a century of only flying people into space and govern their own spacecraft now

we're buying tickets and that she has the chance of going further than just a professional astronaut maybe commercial astronauts and maybe someday you're not so this is the beginning of an era of commercial spaceflight what is nasa is role going to be from here on out. well nasa had the insight back several presidential administrations ago to the bush administration of trying to go the commercial route into the obama administration toward the money necessary into this to make it happen and so now the even though it looks like it's just something that this administration did they spent a lot of time getting ready for this and the idea was that if you can lower the cost of operations in space that we should your money will go for her. role has the crime the pumps and speak to invest in the right places so that the commercial space that are phrased can create these vehicles but more importantly the larger community can say hey there's actually a market there maybe we'll invest some money into it so our views private companies

that are contributing to the tech not the technological advances or the more just about bringing the prices down it's both and it's sort of a piggy back because if you talk to the space x. in the boeing folks say oh no we all agree to get to nasa and all the work that they did but they went and took a government program so how can we do it more effectively and efficiently in a private sector and they're going to be competing against each other so if you just look at the private sector now you know with commercial air travel when it was not being documented been genic now you'd see people fighting for the nicer interiors and then things like that and so you could have market forces ensuring into that so yes it provided the opportunity to private sectors providing the initiative and they're both sort of feeding off of each other whereas network it was only when he answers going to government space going right but of course there is another side to this some are calling us the privatization of space 5 is there not a danger here and transferring so much responsibility from the government in the hands

of private individuals people like you on moscow has come under fire for saying some antiscientific things to put it frankly online. well 1st of all although this contract was procuring the rides commercially. air space corporations have been building spacecraft for half a century here in the us in europe japan and elsewhere it's that mechanism where this ride was procured that is different in terms of whether you know having one or 2 individuals with you don't have to have personalities how we say in their companies the flip side is you know are you interested in the product they sell or the personality of the person who owns the company i mean if you know some people make their buying decisions that way i'd be looking at which the safe to ride in the cheaper right keith cowing editor at nasa watch dot com thanks for joining us. now to some of the other stories making news around the world tropical storm yes

exercise one's right to demonstrate but also a responsibility to abide by the rules and instead of a relaxation of the restrictions the bavarian state premier mako sudha would rather see a tougher enforcement by authorities to fight the virus if the police the people who come from risk areas don't take a coronavirus test or refuse to take one along with those who deliberately violate the measures must face a fine otherwise all of this makes little sense. infections rise in germany the best way to deal with the pandemic looks set to cause further debate. some german tourists have also been misbehaving ignoring coronavirus regulations and angering locals earlier this month authorities on the spanish island of majorca shut down entire beach areas after it was discovered that german tourists were throwing illegal parties there and online videos of germans partying on ball gary is golden sands resort without face masks or any social distancing likewise sparked

sands bar owners say they're trying to maintain safety measures it's difficult to enforce social distancing when people are drinking alcohol and the owners can't stop the parties altogether without wrecking their own business. doing all we can to keep people safe but they have to take responsibility for themselves as well. and many party goers agree with that. once you get in there's a lot less distancing it's up to everyone to stick to the rules it's the same for us we think it's ok to come here in the evening. many golden sands hotels have decided not to open the summer those that have are around a 3rd full and is staying here with her mother and 2 children she booked in january
