space. and they will be doing it anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours. it's a bit variable right now. the spacecraft is right over the united states right now. they will be doing it in clear view of a lot of people down on the ground in the united states. this is part of a five-day program. they launched on monday. they will be coming back on saturday. they have gone to the heights. they have hit, oh, about 800 miles, 870 miles in one orbit. that's the farthest anyone has gone since the apollo missions to the moon. so they are shooting for the moon right now. or at least a little bit of space history. that's what we are waiting on now, guys. not quite yet. probably in the next coming minute. >> carley: it is remarkable. indeed. greg palkot. thanks so much. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> steve: all right. thank you carley and todd. good morning, everybody.

staying on those live pictures out of spacex hq. historic moment as spacex polaris dawn crew is expected to begin the first ever commercial spacewalk. they were supposed to start two minutes ago. i got a feeling it's going to happen in a minute or two. >> ainsley: get to see it live. billionaire jerrick isaacson and sarah gillis. they are going to exit to dragon capsule. >> steve: open that thing up. >> brian: all these newhouse are from earth originally and plan on coming back. the other two crew members will stay inside the capsule to help make sure the walk goes smoothly. >> lawrence: jonathan sire is live with the details. what are we looking at right now? >> yeah. very exciting. they are pressure rising the space suits, these new extra vehicular activity or eva suits designed by spacex as two

members of the four member polaris dawn crew prepare to exit the space capsule. jerrick isaacman the billionaire who is financing this mission, paying spacex undisclosed amount of money to send him and three other private travelers into space will be the first to exit the capsule, spending about 12 minutes outside. and then when he returns, sarah gillis will conduct a spacewalk. gillis is a spacex employee. she is an engineer who oversees the company's astronaut training program. but this is her first mission in space. and a very exciting mission conducting this spacewalk. now, even though only two of the four crew members will be exits the space capsule, the dragon, the spacex dragon capsule doesn't have air lock. the entire spacecraft will have to be depressurized during this spacewalk.

and so all four private astronauts will be wearing those eva suits, exposed to the vacuum of space. spacex is very eager to test these new suits. they have obviously been tested extensively on earth in vacuum chambers. this is the first time they have been tested in the real world or perhaps more accurately in the real space world. they have ambitious goals for these space suits. they will be important once humans establish a long-term presence on the moon and mars, potentially requiring thousands of these space suits according to spacex and then closer to earth because these space suits are so much more flexible than the first generation suits that humans have been using during the first half century of extra vehicular activity. it will allow them more flexibility, conducting missions to repair satellites or other

spacecraft in space. and so very exciting what we're witnesses here. this is more than a space tourist mission. these four individuals are conducting very real science. back to you guys. >> brian: all right. jonathan, thanks so much. let's bring in former nasa astronaut jose hernandez. we have civilians doing. this what should they be ready for that they couldn't be able to understand if they weren't trained like you? >> i think one of the things, -- first of all, good morning. one of the things they need to be ready for how to maneuver in a zero g environment on the outside of the vehicle. >> steve: right. >> because, you know, you are basically defying the laws of physics as we know them on earth because they are floating. they got to remember each action there is equal and opposite reaction. i will give you an example. when i wanted to turn a screw to undo a cover when i torqued it one way, i wasn't anchored, so i

turned the other wait a minute it wasn't until i realize i had to anchor myself for me to be able to do those type of simple jobs. >> ainsley: i know have you conducted space walks. i know three spacewalks i don't know how many you were actually involved in. what was it like? tell us? >> for disclosure, i did not conduct a spacewalk but we trained for spacewalks. all crew members trained for spacewalks and then you get app. signed whatever the commander assigns you is what you end up doing. i did one of the things very tough was the suits themselves. they are thick. they are stiff. you can get hot spots creases on them as you get pressurized. it hurts your body. and then grabbing onto the rails as they are going to do on the pressurized gloves, it wears on your hands. so, it is difficult maneuvering. >> lawrence: jose, what's the difference? i want to do this. once i become a billionaire like

elon musk i want to go into space as well. what is the difference between your training versus this speed course that these astronauts as well. they even get your title, man, what's the difference there? >> well, first of all, i want to ask you are you originally from earth? because i heard your earlier comment. >> lawrence: not just earth, texas earth. >> that's the first requirement. second one is these guys have been on the fast track to training. you got to remember that our suits, we have our own air and cooling system. and so we were mobile throughout the full international space station. these guys have like an umbilical cord. it's a little bit less complex. >> lawrence: copy. >> the suits look a lot more flexible. i think they are going to be very successful doing it. they are going to be testing these suits. we are going to learn a lot and spacex is going to learn a lot. these suits as i look at it, have a future in space. >> steve: they are lighter and this is the first time they have

ever been used. that's one of the scary things is, as they depressurize the suits and depressurize that part of the cabin that we are looking at, this has never been done before. maybe that's one of the reasons why they haven't popped the hatch and hopped out yet. maybe there is a problem. >> yes. what is happening is there is not an individual air lock compartment. what that means is they have to take to vacuum the whole shim where they are at and the whole capsule. that means the astronauts that stay inside, the two that stay inside have to wear these suits as well. it takes a while to go to vacuum that involve space take it to vacuum. allows you to open the hatch. or else you can't open the hatch because of the pressure differential. >> brian: a lot of times when they look at budgets let's cut the space budget. if i cut the space program i'm not going to pay a political price. now that we got the private

world -- private business involved in this, it's become over a $2 trillion business now. is this the way to spur interest and profit into space that ultimately that will benefit the program? >> i believe so. i think there's a private-public partnership model because any time private industry spends a dollar in the space exploration that's a dollar you and i as a taxpayer pay less into it. i think it's very important that we get private industry involved. and it fast tracks the development. also, it also offers the opportunity to fast track new technology that can be re-purposed here on earth to make our lives more comfortable. >> brian: all under the supervision of nasa, right? >> absolutely. all under the partnership -- i wouldn't say supervision. i would say partnership. these entities are spending their own money and they have the right to make their own decisions.

>> carley: jose, i remember i was in 3rd grade and watching the challenger take off and it was a big deal christa mccullough was on that capsule it happened on my mom's birthday january 2 #th. would you knew how dangerous that was and we know how it ended. how do you feel about civilians. i remember growing up if you were selected as a nasa astronaut. >> steve: looks like they are opening up the hatch? >> ainsley: do you want to talk jose about what we are seeing right now? >> it will take a while for them to open the hatch. they have to turn the lever and then push. if i'm not mistaken, it's going to push in because the pressure deferential, you don't want it to push out, you want the pressure differently to keep that lid closed and it's only until you take it to vacuum that you are allowed to push it in if i'm not mistaken. >> brian: in fact, can we listen to these -- let's listen to the astronauts right now.

>> copy. is it will feel familiar the field is going to vox: time ce check. >> report to come check. >> spacewalk good comms. all four crew. essentially now all of our crew are on open mics. they can now talk and hear each other and talk to the ground. so you're going to hear a lot more chatter starlt to pick up. once you here the suit pressurization. you will here shhh, that's the air starting to flow into their

suits. how loud does it get inside your suit? >> it actually is quite loud. that air flow is just constantly -- which is a good thing, right? not only is it providing you the oxygen but also helping get rid of that ceo 2 breathing out. you want that air flow to be constantly flowing. you always are hearing that fan that's making that happen. and so that is certainly pretty important. and the vox thing i have got say. >> ainsley: jose we are going to bring new now. talk about what we are seeing here and also how you feel about civilians going up in space. >> yes. it will be a while before they go out. their helmet advise advisor is still up it. means their suits have not been pressurized. >> it also means that air inside the cabin has not been taken to vacuum. so they have to do all of that. it will be a few minutes before they were ready to open the hatch. i will tell you, as civilians, i think if they have the proper training, it's something that

certainly the private space industry has the right to do. i just want to make sure that they do not take short cuts for the sake of saving money. that's the important thing. >> lawrence: are we wrong to be a little nervous, jose? we are all a little excited, obviously. anxiously pointed out, you see him and i don't even note technical name for the umbilical cord. >> steve: lifeline. >> no, it's umbilical cord. >> lawrence: tell me are we wrong to be a little nervous as we have a little bit of anticipation as well? >> yes. because what we want to do is there is a lot of parts that have to go right got the pumps that take the inside to vacuum. the air system, umbilical system providing the air to the astronauts. you got the hatch that you don't want it to get stuck then you have them going outside one at a time at 12 minutes each.

experiencing being out in space for the first time there are some handels that they will be. >> is there anything for them to do productive or just one person getting that feeling? there is nothing to do out there, right? >> activity needed to be done. what they're doing is checking the mobility of the suit. functionality of the suit. making sure they can move around. there's no hot spots in the bodies or creases that create real hot spots on different parts of the body. and so then, of course, the mobility of the hands. >> steve: sure. >> all that is being tested. >> steve: folks tuning in and wondering what they are looking at. looking at spacex headquarters where they are about -- we're about to see the polaris dawn crew attempt the first ever commercial spacewalk also known

as extra vehicular activity, eva from the spacex crew dragon spacecraft. about two minutes ago we were given a 90-second queue that it was going to start shortly. doesn't look like they initiated cracking open the hatch. jose, while we have got you right there for just a moment. this is a good time to be an astronaut. i was reading this morning that currently there are more people in orbit than ever before. a total of 19 people are circling the earth. you got four on that spaceship. you got seven on the international space station. china has got three people. and then you have got the two people stranded on the starliner, also, in the international space station. >> yes. it's like grand central station in space, right? a lot of people out there. but, you know, when i went up there, there was seven of us on the crew of the space shuttle discovery and six on the international space station. and we were the second to the last mission to finish

construction of the stations. almost 13 of us representing five countries. so, it's not uncommon to have a lot of traffic -- human traffic up in space. >> brian: we have a lot more room down here. >> ainsley: jose, what dues do u say about steve referencing the starliner crew stuck up until february? >> they went up on a test flight. we know test flights can go short and go long. in this particular case it went awfully godly long in a since that they were not able to come back nasa did not feel comfortable bringing them back on the starliner. they have to hitch a ride with the competitor, who is spacex so they have to wait until february for that to happen. >> ainsley: why do they have to wait so long? >> well, because that's when the next vehicle that has spots available for them to come down is available.

and that's just the reality of life. i will take that over mitigating the risks of possibly something going wrong with the starliner. >> brian: don't have to deal with the holiday traffic. [laughter] >> lawrence: jose, what are we looking at right here? given 90 seconds. taking a little longer than anticipated, right? >> you see now that they have the v visors down. had which means they are taking the cabin to vacuum. which means they are sucking all of the air out of the cabin. and if you were to open your visor you would asphyxiate because there is no air. and this is why they are closing their visor. and then shortly thereafter, they will start pressure rising the suit. and then after that that's when they are going to give them the go for opening the hatch. >> steve: i remember back in the day the 60's or 70s on the first spacewalks, they had some

sort -- think i the guy's name was edwin white. >> ed white, yes. >> steve: first space walking astronaut tethered also had the umbilical. also had the gizmo that kind of offered him some mobility. it would kind of shoot him from side to side. they don't have any of that stuff these days, do they? >> no, they don't. they don't have any of that. although for the space shuttle, we do have thruster jets, that if we were somehow to disconnect ourselves, let go of structure, and we're off into space on our own because we don't doo not have umbilical cord. we have thrusters that we are able to fire and point ourselves and head back to structure. >> steve: you know as you say that, jose, how fast is that ship traveling right now? it's over the united states. it's heading east, i believe. how fast is it going? >> it's traveling at

approximately 17,000 miles an hour. 17500 miles an hour. you go around -- if you were in low earth orbit. they are more in elliptical orbit if you go low earth orbit did you go around the world once every 90 minutes. they may take longer because it's more of elliptical ains how does that feel on your body. >> it feels like you are on an airplane. when an airplane is going 500 miles per hour you don't feel it. the thing that you feel is the acceleration. and in our case we go from zero to 17 in 8 and a half minutes. in other words, it takes 8 and a half minutes to get into space. imagine these guys is about something similar. >> steve: that's a daunting thing. the spaceship is going 17,000 miles per hour but they are about to step outside of it. what keeps them essentially --

>> not falling behind? >> steve: exactly. >> they are moving with the same speed. so they have the same momentum. >> steve: inertia? >> exactly. they have the same thing. they will be traveling with the spaceship at that speed. and remember there is no friction in space. if you take your -- just imagine if you are going 60 miles per hour and you take your hand out of the window, it's going to push back on you. >> steve: right. >> here, if you were to open the window and stick your hand out, even though you are going 17500 miles per hour nothing is going to happen. your hand is going to stay where it's at. >> brian: what's happening right now, he is not losing his nerve, right? what is he waiting for? >> no, no, no. he is waiting for the go. >> lawrence: ha. >> depreciation of the cabin is ticking down. they are looking at the numbers. >> steve: okay. >> pressure rising the suits. is he just waiting for the go for opening the hatch. >> steve: all right. let's go back to jonathan

serrie, our correspondent. jonathan, you have been watching this. has spacex explained why they haven't started -- they were supposed to start 21 minutes ago. >> yeah. they didn't explain the timing, but they just posted on x that the suits have switched to their primary flow path, which we will use to fully pressurize ahead of suit leak check. apparently checking the suits for any leaks before they open that hatch. but you can see their vice sores visors aredown which is a good y are beginning to move along. >> steve: if there is a leak, how bad is that and what hap happens? >> yeah, if there is a leak certainly you are not going to open the hatch, you are not going to fully depressurize the cabin. they would have to investigate the leak. is it something that could be easily repaired in space? something that wouldn't pose a danger if it's a leak that could not be repaired. a large leak.

then they would have to call off the spacewalk and not take any chances. but all of these eva suits have been tested extensively on earth and so they seem very optimistic that they will be moving forward with the spacewalk. but, obviously, a commercial spacewalk has never been attempted before. and so they are taking their time as they dot you are all their i's and cross their t's. >> brian: jonathan how about the wisdom of wearing the same thing? how do you know who is who? [laughter] >> and i have a hard time recognizing people that i know in places that i ordinarily don't see them. that's why i'm not on that mission. [laughter] >> ainsley: jonathan, this is historic. the first ever commercial spacewalk. we are witnessing it on this september 12th. jerrick isaacman, he is the guy we are seeing there he is the billionaire. what do you know about him? how long did he have to train? i know he hasn't disclosed how much he paid to do this but tell us what you know.

>> yeah. he hasn't disclosed how much he paid spacex to conduct this mission but he has been on a previous private space mission. and so this is not his first rodeo. the other crew members, however, this is their first mission. scott kid poo teeth is a military jets and the earth's atmosphere, but his first space mission. and then you have anna minute anyone spacex engineer. her day job is working in mission control on the ground and right now you are looking at the there was a touching moment yesterday when she read a book that she co-authored called kisses from space. she read it not only to her children on the ground but also patients at saint jude

children's research hospital beneficiary of the polaris dawn program. >> lawrence: formally when astronauts are in space they train them as mechanics if something goes wrong. if something doesn't go right, who is going to fix it? is it the engineer? >> >> all of these private astronauts have undergone extensive training at spacex. if anything were to go wrong, they all are qualified to take care of the problem. and certainly engineers on the ground in that mission control center that we're looking at on the screen they would guide them as well if anything were to go wrong. it appears things on this mission are going quite well. >> brian: there was a time billionaires only did balloons. now they are doing space.

>> steve: jonathan, thank you very much. sings they have not yet cranked open the hatch, we're going to step aside. we're going to continue to monitor this and we will be back after a quick break and maybe they will be out in space when we come back. stay tuned. of people over 50. it's lying dormant, waiting... and could reactivate. shingles strikes as a painful, blistering rash that can last for weeks. and it could wake at any time. think you're not at risk for shingles? it's time to wake up. because shingles could wake up in you. if you're over 50, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about shingles prevention. roy bain: hi, roy bain here. you know, you can have anything you want by helping others get what they want.

but now we move to other news. fox news alert. police in aurora, colorado, arresting 10 medication of the gang tren de aragua in connection with apartment building takeovers. the arrest come as the venezuelan street gang expands its deadly reach into the united states and chanley painter has been covering this and she is here with more. hey, chanley. >> hello, so good morning. police and local officials in aurora announcing the arrest of these 10 men accused of committing acts of violence against members of the migrant community. all 10 arrested documented members of tren de aragua a prison gang based in venezuela. child abuse, attempted first degree murder. illegal discharge of a firearm and more. aurora has been in the spotlight recently after surveillance video from an apartment building

was overtaken by armed men and it went viral online. now, the joint statement from aurora officials addresses what they say are misleading social media claims saying this: as for the perception and reality of public safety in aurora, please understand that issues experienced at a select few properties do not apply to the city as a whole or large portions of it. tda has not taken over the city. the democratic governor of the sanctuary state had this to say to fox news, quote: aurora is a great vibrant city of more than 400,000 hard-working coloradans. a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family. the governor hopes there has not been reputational damage from previous cynical statements made by certain city officials. he also said his office is an active member of the joint task force that was created to address the tda activity gang activity in the region. lawrence? >> lawrence: it's a big problem. thanks, chanley. second gentleman doug emhoff

head to battleground arizona where immigration remains a top issue. in just a six year span the yuma border sector has seen over 1,000 percent increase in illegal migrant encounters. that's why our next guest is backing trump saying that the biden-harris response to the migrant crisis is not solving the problem. yuma mayor doug nickels joins us now. mr. maher, thank you very much for joining the program when you look at the polling on this issue, who do you trust on immigration harris is only 43%. are you hearing the same thing in your city and state? >> yes. pretty much. those what we're experiences it really has to do with actual actions that were taken during either administration in the trump administration within three months he had addressed the issues that we brought to him. and harris-biden administration.

biden-harris administration, it's been three and a half years before they did anything significant. >> lawrence: yeah. when you look at the border numbers for the southwest border encounters. we are talking about 8.2 million. now, when you go back to the trump years, it's 2.4 million. i mean, you guys have to be worried. i mean, you are on the frontline the numbers in the yuma sector are down still around 100 a day. still 10 times higher than what we would experience as normal. across the whole border, that's why i think this is polling the way it is because people are feeling what we as border mayors have been say something that every city is a border city because what happens at the border goes into the country just doesn't remain at the border. i think that's why it's polling so well is that realization is a true statement.

>> lawrence: mr. mayor, you are in a swung state. everyone is looking at arizona and pennsylvania. so when it's election day, when we are all talking about this. the next day, do you think donald trump wins arizona because of this issue? >> well i would like to think so because it is the dominant issue here in arizona. grabbing ahold of what reality is going to be come november. and it's going to be a different thing. but i think statewide, we have passed state laws. there has been a lot of discussion at the local level on this itch. so i think it is top of mind of arizona voters. >> lawrence: see what happens. mr. mayor, thanks so much for joining the program. >> thank you. >> lawrence: nearly 1/3 of students nationwide are behind grade level. michigan 86% of black fourth graders can't read proficiently. this is crazy. one michigan mom and educator, she's going to join us next. ♪

jackson, mississippi there. power outages close to 400,000 without power for parts of eastern louisiana. rainfall totals of over 9 inches here. and that's going to continue as we go throughout the day. mostly on the eastern side of this storm, we're going to see the potential for two to three, three to five, five to eight inches of rainfall and the storm will eventually dissipate but for now we will continue to monitor francine. fox weather.com for all of your latest details. ainsley, over to you. >> ainsley: thank you so much, janice. >> janice: you got it. >> ainsley: education major issue for americans but it wasn't even brought up during the debate. as children are struggling across our country. kamala harris has yet to release a plan to get our kids back on track. in michigan, in particular, 86% of black fourth graders can't read proficiently. and 60% of 3rd graders failed the state's english language arts test this year. michigan mother and assistant provost for k through 12

education at hillsdale college, kathleen o'toole joins us now. good morning, kathleen. >> good morning. >> ainsley: good morning. we have a map of people watching our show. they live in different parts of the united states and on the map it says students are behind. 31% of the students in the northeast are. 31% in the midwest are. 29% down in the south. and 39% out west. why is this? >> well, these numbers are alarming. but they are part of a larger story that's been going on for a long time in this country. we have forgotten all to teach children how to read. this foundational skill that unlocks the rest of their education. it was exacerbated by the covid lockdowns. but the problem goes back to our changing away from teaching phonics and more importantly coupling that phonics instruction rich content in literature, history, science, art, music. children need both of those

things when they are taught phonics instruction in a language rich environment. any child can read even before the 3rd grade. we see this in hillsdale affiliated schools across the country. classical schools across the country. >> ainsley: give us an example of how to couple those together. >> well, think about the different between the word desert and dessert. there is a phonics based the difference feign between those two words they need to pronounce the word desert and what it means. unless they are given rich stories that explain what the desert is like, maybe they visited the desert. they won't really be able to comprehend the word itself. so readings instruction is more about decoding the sounds of words and understanding the meaning of the sentence. you have to have an understanding of the vocabulary that you are reading in order to make sense of the passage.

>> ainsley: 3rd graders definitely know what desserts are. maybe not the desert. you know as a mom. what did you want to hear at the debate when it comes to education and what do you want from our politicians to help with this problem? >> i would love -- i would love to hear things about parent choice. education freedom. returning decisions about child's education back to the people who know and love those children the best. education is not rocket science. there are -- the way in which we educate a child is known. and parents can tell when their children are receiving a good education. so they should be the ones making the decisions. >> ainsley: our educators are amazing people. my mom was one. my sister is all the teachers that help my daughter is like speaking a foreign language. i can't help my daughter in the 3rd grade with some of her homework.

>> brian: fox news alert now. finally happened. spacex polaris dawn crew opening up the hatch of the crew dragon spacecraft ahead of the first ever commercial spacewalk. here we go. we have seen this close before. we understand is he just about to go through. >> lawrence: did he close it back? >> ainsley: i think he closed it back. >> steve: jonathan serrie is our space guy today. i have been looking at spacex's twitter. and it looks like about 5 minutes ago the cabin pressure was below one, i think one pound per square inch so they are almost there. >> yeah. in fact now it's the counter is at zero psi. so the cabin is in vacuum. and, you see jared isaacman working the match, which will slowly open he and fellow mission member sarah gillis will

be conducting spacewalks about 12 minutes each. something interesting, they tested these eva suits extensively before they depressurized the cabin. because, once you start depressurizes the cabin, if you detected a leak in the suits and had to repressurize the cabin, then you blow your opportunity to take the spacewalk. because they have a limited amount of oxygen on board that spacecraft. so they only have enough for one depressure ration and reappreciation. and so they have to goat it right. but they determined those eva suits were safe. and now as we speak. they are slowly going through the process of opening that hatch. >> lawrence: suddenly i don't think i want to go now. >> steve: no kidding. we just heard their master control say they are going to repeat the entire process they got to be safe. that could take a few minutes.

we will step aside. we will be back to you in a moment. in the meantime across the studio and here is brian. >> brian: something totally different now. more back on earth. a massachusetts field hockey game forced to upcoming game after learning the opposing team had biological male on roster. comes a we're a player on the team suffered facial injuries after a shot in the face by a male. their superintendent acknowledging this could impact their playoff chances saying quote there are times where we have to place a higher value on safety than on victory. now, wait a second. let me go back to breaking news because we are going to go back up to space. we can see now the hatch is actually opened. and we mapping they are going through. >> we are 38 minutes into today's spacewalk and the hatch is open on dragon. first view from the helmet clam looking out. >> ev one is go to continue.

that structure you see there. >> egress. [applause] thank you cb 1. put it back in place. >> with you and your helmet cam. >> once again, this helmet cam, that structure we see is the spacewalker, this is jared now egressing through the forward hatch of dragon resilience. the first views of the first ever commercial spacewalk. i have a feeling the crowd is about to go wild. [cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause] back at home, we all have a lot of work to do but from here, it sure looks like a perfect world. [cheers] i'm going to step into -- single-handed. >> jared isaacman now emerging. >> watching from the nose cone. up down left and right are three

switching single-handed operations are fine. static and with dynamic disturbance. clutching with left hand. up, down, left and right are 3, maybe a 2. roll is a 2. is a 2. >> these are the suit mobility checks that jared is performing. >> single operations dynamic and with disturbance are all adequate. test matrix one complete. checks. 5.3 psi.

48% rh, 33 decimal 9 celsius. >> spacex copies spacex 1 readout ev. >> looking good. >> tapping into vertical translation. we're going to start with the mortal bars. we're going to transition over to vertical.

vertical and mortal are equally workable. slightly favored mortal. i'm going to do a max reach. left hand is at the top of the mobility aid. midpoint. good video we just lost our live video. stand by. >> okay. switching over to max reach. switching hands. copy that spacex. i'm holding up with the max reach. >> ev 1 go ahead and continue the operation. we will let you know we are back on with live video. copy that awareness max reach

and the mid bar. matrix 2 is complete. readout. 5.3. celsius 50% rh. >> steve: okay. this is extraordinary. and you can see right there the commander, mr. isaacman the billionaire is outside the spacecraft and going through the first of three suit mobility tests that will test overall hand-body control. we saw that vertical movement with skywalker and foot restraint as well. but we are looking at their twitter. jonathan serrie is our space guy today. jonathan, what is skywalker, do you know? >> yes, it is a new attachment to the dragon spacecraft. if you look at the image on your screen right now. can you see those metallic handle bars on the very top of the dragon spacecraft. that is skywalker. it is essentially a -- for lack

of a better term. this is my term, not theirs, a jungle gym. >> lawrence: almost out of the hatch. >> assists the astronauts as they climb out of the spacecraft gives them something to hang on to. yes, they are tethered to the inside of the spacecraft. not going to hold away. holding onto the skywalker. it gives them more stability and helps them maneuver and it's something that was installed on the top of the dragon capsule specifically for this mission. >> lawrence: that's cool. >> brian: on the spacex site on twitter and by the way elon musk is streaming it live. i understand why. it says there are 100 kill meters above the earth. the farthest the humans have traveled since the apollo program 50 years ago. >> steve: they are way out there. >> they traveled in their earlier orbit. they went out to that translates

to 870 miles which took them further than humans have traveled from the -- since the apollo moon missions, more than half a century ago. and because the members of those apollo missions were all men, to borrow a phrase from captain kirk. this mission has gone boldly where no woman has gone before. now, for this spacewalk, they actually reduced the altitude to approximately a little more than 450 miles. but that still is two times the altitude of the international space station. they are conducting the spacewalk at a higher altitude than what we're used to seeing. >> ainsley: let's bring in jose hernandez former nasa astronaut. we were speaking with him earlier. good morning, jose. this is incredible. >> good morning he popped out and could see the earth. you right now on the darker sight of the earth. it was unbelievable sight. what is going through your mind?

>> steve: this is his helmet cam. >> this is incredible. brings back memories and you say man, i want to go back up there brings up great memories of being up there jared is doing the protocol that they have established which is when you go out there you start doing mobility tests and then you start doing translation tests. and then you are monitoring your temperatures. and so, they have this protocol. is he not just out there standing looking around. he is testing the suit right now and the mobility and you see those handels that you call the skywalker system that allows him to go up a little higher. we will see if he pulls his feet out completely and goes sort of mortal, which would be nice to see. but i'm not sure if that's part of the planned activ
