land a spacecraft on a speeding comet. good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. space is the place to think big. they are doing that here. this comet, 2.5 miles wide has taken almost a decade to reach and it is tense right now. the lander has detached as we speak, it is in three full on the way to the comet. will it land safely? >> cheers erupting in the control room after flawless separation from the space craft. the first ever attempt to land on the surface after comet. a computer glitch briefly cutting communication threatening the mission. it is now on schedule to touch down on the comet in a few hours' time. the purpose, to learn more about the solar system formed over 4 billion years ago, the lander will gather gases, chemicals,

and other properties from the comet. the rosetta space craft has been chasing the kplet for ten years millions of miles from earth. the trickiest part, well, how do you get the lander to land with little gravity? without full knowledge of what the inhospitable surfaces will be like and no control over where the spacecraft makes contact with the ground. if it goes according to plan the landing will look something like this. a daring feat revealing more secrets of the solar system, it could even explain the origin of life on earth. and we are hearing that the lander has begun to send back signals but they need to get this right, guys, it cost a billion dollars to build and some of the evidence that it might find might help with the dooms day scenario where a comet is directing toward earth. >> incredibly ambitious. thank you very much.

>> what people dream up. with the apollo program and all that, fascinating stuff. >> that bruce willis is riding that thing is cool. >> bringing us down to earth. >> meantime, if you live on the east coast you should enjoy today's weather. the polar vortex is sweeping across the country. it's going to cause temperatures to plunge. dylan dreyer made her way to denver as she continues her frigid road trip. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. so much for that old wive's tale that it's too cold to snow because i can assure you it is really, really cold here and it is snowing. winter weather advisories are in effect for the heavier snow we're going to see. but the bigger story is the frigid cold. look at the steam coming off this lake behind me here in washington park. i know that the water is not as cold as the 3 degrees it is out here now and that warm air rises and we end up with steam. this is all part of this bigger storm system, this arctic air mass that is responsible for

producing about two feet of snow in parts of michigan. we ended up with a foot, foot and a half in montana and wisconsin. it also brought some very gusty winds to washington state and oregon where downed trees and power lines and tens of thousands of people are without power right now. the biggest thing i noticed was the temperature drop. we went from record high temperatures in wichita, kansas, and down through dalhart texas and got up to 32 the next day. so it's cold and here in denver we are looking at temperatures for highs today to be about 50 degrees below average. we'll only top out around 5 or 6 later this afternoon. by the time we get to friday we'll warm up here but al, that's when this cold is headed to your neck of the woods. >> sadly, unfortunately, i think dylan is going to be on the road for a while because we're not going to see a break in this arctic express. it's going to continue moving in. as you look at these temperatures right now 5 in

casper, 19 in north platte, currently cleveland at 40, nashville 50. that's 11 gles below average. and then tomorrow morning kansas city 19, new orleans 50. dallas at 29 degrees, that's 18 degrees above average. high temperatures not much bet e from 20 to 50 degrees below average. and then early friday morning it continues. we're going to look at 29 degrees for a low in atlanta, the high in atlanta only 48. chicago, 33. that's 16 degrees below average. plus, coming up in the next half hour we're 2ing to talk about the lake-effect snow machine cranking up a foot of snow or more, heading into the great lakes. and there's another lobe of the polar express coming in next week. we got a lot to talk about on #rokerthon. >> going to be up all night. conserve your energy. another story we're following the former navy s.e.a.l. who claims he is the one that fired the final shot into osama bin

laden, sharing information about this operation. peter alexander is on the story this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. 3 1/2 years after bin laden's death and americans are fascinated by the secret mission that killed him as well as the warriors involved in that raid. that includes rob o'neill describing an unprecedented detail his central role in the death of the man ninld 9/11. >> standing two feet in front of me with his hands on his wife, was the face i've seen on a thousand times. my first thought was we got him. we got him. we just ended the war. >> speaking out for the first time to fox news, rob o'neill t former s.e.a.l. team 6 sniper who says he fired the fatal shot, killing the world's most wanted terrorist. the montana native traveling giving paid motivational speeches described months of preparation for the raid. >> the more we trained on it the more we realized this is going

to be a one-way mission. we're going to go in and not come back. we're going to die when the house blows up, we're going to die when he blows up or we're going to be there too long and get arrested by the pakistanis and spend the rest of our short lives in prison. it's worth it to kill him because he will die wisconsin. >> reporter: o'neill's decision to go public is not without controversy. the department of justice is investigating former s.e.a.l. matt bissonette who wrote a bestseller about shooting bin laden without clearing the book with the government. last month the s.e.a.l.'s commander fired off a stern letter reminding all s.e.a.l.s of the code of secrecy. i do not advertise the nature of my work nor seek recognition. bissonette told nbc news there are inconsistencies about who is allowed to talk and who isn't. noting the pentagon helped hollywood re-create the raid for "zero dark thirty." >> everybody and their brother was talking about this.

how can you be holding it against me. >> reporter: o'neill says months passed before it sunk in that he shot osama bin laden. >> i thought about it every day. for a number of years. i'm still trying to figure out if it's the best thing i've done or the worst. >> bissonette. still this entire episode royaled the navy s.e.a.l. community. a former s.e.a.l. who knows both he considered their breaking the code of secrecy in his words dishonorable but other former s.e.a.l.s insist the higher ups created this where it's okay for some to speak out but not for others. >> peter alexander, thank you so much. by the way we're going to talk to robert o'neill on friday. >> natalie's here now with overnight news on the president's trip to asia. >> good morning everyone. president obama and china's president downplaying points of tensions. the two addressed reporters in a rare joint news conference.

president obama. then, after answering a question from a chinese reporter, president xi finally addressed the question and seemed to blame the media for any lack of access. >> media outlets need obey china's laws and regulations. >> reporter: it's just one of several unforgettable moments during the three-day summit where earlier russian president putin was accused of being too friendly to president xi's wife when he draped a shawl over her shoulders and some called president obama rude for chewing gum that the lavish welcome ceremony. now, all of this as president obama has gotten harsh criticism in the chinese media with some questioning hisower in the wake of the bruising midterm defeat that he suffered. president obama has brushed that criticism aside, his next stop is myanmar. >> thank you, kristin.

like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. ♪ let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together ♪ ♪ i've got some real estate here in my bag ♪ ♪ it took me four days to hitch-hike from saginaw ♪ ♪ "i've come to look for america" ♪ ♪

outset. this is not about women who are anticipating any difficulty with their fertility, right? there are a lot of families who have premature ovarian failure. for them it's an amazing technology. this is separate. this is talking about women in their 20s who are being exposed to this technology as a potential viable option to preserve their fertility. >> do the reality check. number one, how successful is it? does it give people a false assurance that they will, if they freeze their eggs, be able to put off child bearing? >> that, of course, is probably a philosophical and ethical issue. it's very expensive. not all insurances will obviously cover it. there are some risks involved. the issue is this. if you preserve, if you freeze an egg in your 20s, that egg is actually healthier than a

35-year-old one. >> it's a younger egg. >> right. but here is the issue. the technology is still rather young. we don't know how long those frozen eggs are actually going to be good for. if you do this when you're 22 or 23 and decide when you're 35 you want to thaw the egg out, i don't think we have amazing research that suggests that those eggs are actually going to survive for that long. >> very quickly, it's not an easy process, go in, grab some eggs and you're gone to lunch. >> absolutely not. it's a process. they have to be retrieved. as i said it's cost intensive and requires some effort on your part as well. >> good discussion. dr. natalie azar, thank you very much. >> savannah, thank you very much. how would you act? what would you do if you knew you were about to lose one of your legs? if you were a young woman injured in the boston marathon bombing, facing an amputation a year and a half later, you would have a little fun. janet shamlian has that story. >> reporter: it helps to have a sense of humor. in the hours before she had her

why are these so popular all of a sudden? >> these are great because what they do is they are tracking some of your vital signs, typical things we might look at when you come to a doctor's visit or if you stay overnight in a sleep lab. the costs for those is going to continue to come down and we're going to see more of that technology in these bedside types of devices. >> i took one of the devices home for a test drive. >> this is the aura. it uses different light and sound to put you in the mood to sleep. it recorded my time of sleep, time awake, and the time i spent in different sleep stages. it is a reminder how much sleep we actually need, and how much i ain't getting. >> none of us getting a lot. al is going to be the king of team no sleep as the big rokerthon kicks off. >> that's right. so we're going to begin our attempt to seat new guiness

so for you at 8:00 p.m. you want to save your break sessions, save them up so you can get a 20-minute nap around midnight or 1:00 a.m., then you want to take coffee just before you nap. 15 minutes before you nap. yes. you get coffee boost after 20 minute nap, and you'll have the alertness from the nap. >> al doesn't drink coffee. >> that's great. the coffee is really going to help. >> make him drink coffee. >> really. up without caffeine this whole time? >> if you are sensitive to coffee or you have not been drinking coffee, then you want to start low and green tea would be wonderful. it has 50 milligrams of caffeine and the coffee about 100. be hydrated before you start. at the end stop drinking the coffee three hours before the send and i know you ride a bike home so you want to be careful with that you don't run anybody over. >> so i'm going to take a walk to explain. thank you so much. what's going on.

first hours because i had so much problem to sleep the night before because i was so stressed. >> you had trouble sleeping before you started. gosh. >> i was so action haased before i started. after four or five hours i was kind of doing a wave, so it was great. i loved every minute of it. >> and what kind reef action did you get back home when this happened? >> people loved it. people, they were following me the whole night through and they had lots of questions and they wanted to know how can you be updated all the time. but i had two meteorologists and they help immediate and it was great. >> thanks for being my inspiration. i hope you'll be watching. hope you'll be watching too. rokerthon begins tonight at 8:00 eastern live on msnbc's the last word with lawrence o'donnell and of course we are going to be streaming this live at today.com. come down to the plaza because guess what, this is rokerthon and we're in here but we've

before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. set a new goal today. ask your dermatologist about humira. because with humira clearer skin is possible. and what turkey dinner is complete without the delicious taste of ocean spray cranberries? it has been a tradition at our table for generations, and we hope you enjoy it too. so, from our family to yours... both: happy thanksgiving! okay, who likes yams? for all your thanksgiving recipes, visit oceanspray.com.
