silence a girl and her parents at the center of his 2008 child pornography trial. they didn't testify and a jury eventually acquitted kelly of all charges. avenatti says he represents nine clients related to kelly's case including victims, parents, and so-called whistle blowers like a former kelly associate who avenatti says was paid to hunt down a missing sex tape involving a minor. >> he specifically told the associate that his life was, quote, on the line. >> reporter: the lawyer says at least two sex tapes are part of the evidence that could put kelly behind bars for life. on friday federal prosecutors in illinois and new york unsealed 18 charges against the embattled singer accusing him of crimes against women and girls over two decades. kelly defended his record with gayle king in march. >> robert, have you broken any laws when it comes to women? >> absolutely not. >> reporter: in a video posted on tmz monday, jocelyne savage

man embarks today on history's greatest adventure. the dow of this day heralded the dawning of a newbs ne' walte awaiting the launch of "apollo 11" at the kennedy space center 50 years ago today, guys. all morning long our streaming service at cbsn will play cbs' coverage of the launch as it happened back in 1969. cbsn's vladimir duthiers there with tony for a special space edition of "what to watch." >> that is right. put away your earthly concerns, viewers at home and those in the studio. vlad is here for an out-of-this-world segment, i'm over the moon about it, you might say. >> calling it "what to watch." >> it's an honor to be here, representing the network. good morning to all of you back in new york and all of you watching across the united states. here are a few stories we're going to be talking about today -- as we mark the 50th anniversary of the "apollo 11" launch, we remember the pioneers

t stage for the first african-american in space. back in 1961, air force pilot ed dwight was chosen by president john f. kennedy's administration to bring diversity to nasa and become america's first black astronaut. he appeared on national magazine covers and radio programs to promote the space program, but dwight said he was a target of racism from colleagues and officials, and he was not selected by nasa to be an astronaut. he later left the air notice. lyndon b. johnson picked robert lawrence to be the first black astronaut, but he never made it to space either. sadly, he died in a training accident in 1967. it wasn't until 1983 that we would see guy bluford become the first african-american to make it into space. eems likeor long . everybody didn't get to go to space. >> that's right. 18 african-americans have been apherdo that it took 22 years

moment. all right. before lunar landings, astronauts had to navigate a training ground that seems as desolate as the moon. in between the grand canyon and phoenix is an area in flagstaff, arizona. it's a near perfect blueprint what neil armstrong and the rest of the crew encountered while they were walking on the moon. in the 1960s, the geological survey made flagstaff more moonlight to test vehicles and equipment, hundreds of craters were blasted into the fields. there is a remarkable story. they blasted craters to creates a lunar surface. here all moon-bound astronauts learned how to walk through rough terrain in their space suits. they also took crash courses on rock formations and lunar mapping. in fact, they named a crater on the moon, they named it flag crater in honor of flagstaff. ou get up there, you're space i.

in our ears, and gayle, the dustbuster owes its debt to nasa. think about that the next time you clean up the how to. >> that's me cleaning up the house with the dustbuster. thank you, tony and vlad, matching black shirts. we're talking to meek mill after the break. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding

welcome ck. esident trump defends his racist tweets about four progressive lawmakers. we'll talk to a leading expert on the history of racism. we have much more on the 50th anniversary of "apollo 11." tony dokoupil at the kennedy space center with the launch's lasting impact. >> i'm at the apollo saturn 5 center with one of the lunar modules nasa built to land on the moon 50 years ago. coming up thi halk to peggy whitson about how it inspired her to become an astronaut and talk to astronauts orbiting the globe right now about the future of the space program. >> here is the eye-opener. >> 50 years ago "apollo 11"

blasted off. >> armstrong and aldrin became the first to step on the moon. >> 50 years ago -- >> the launch of the historic mission to another world. millions glued to their tv and they were not disappointed. >> kevin mccarthy defended the president. he said mr. trump isn't racist, just frustrated about these four women and their political views. democratic presidential candidates get asked every day about something the president has done or said. sometimes they try to brush it off and change the subject but not this time. >> a judge will decide whether kelly will be released on bail. meantime attorney michael avenatti said the new charges sex case he handed over to federal prosecutors. >> more than a million facebook users say they want to storm area 51 in an effort to, quote, see the aliens. the air force says, quote, the air force always stands ready to protect america and its assets.

>> okay. i don't think area 51 was suspicious until the last part. he military is like, guys, it's g's "an ordinary training range, and if you come near here we will kill all of you. >> this morning's eye-opener presented by toyota, let's go places. >> i hope to go my whole life and never see an alien face-to-face. he you believe in aliens. >> i do believe in them. i don' i don't think we're the only thonyhere but i don't want to get one any time soon. ionalay. i'm anthony mason with gayle er in fl jericka duncan. tony dokoupil is at the kennedy this mcenter in florida as we wakemorate the 50th anniversary of "apollo 11." armstrorning nasa tweeted, wake ,p, it's launch day. missioecades ago, they blasted alk on a mission to do what no it.an had done before. aalk on the moon. henthey did it. "apollo 11" was the source of national pride back then and

actually remains so 50 years later. in a new cbs news poll, 40% of americans say no national event has given them as much pride as that moon landing. tony dokoupil joins us from kennedy space center. tony, talking about moods, what's the mood there? >> i'd have to say extremely excited is an understatement. people are gathered here to celebrate this historic day. dozens showed up this morning to be here for the exact moment "apollo 11" took off from launch pad 39, a at 9:32 a.m. back in 1969. four whole days later on july 20th, "apollo 11" landed on the moon surface with an estimated 650 million people watching on television. neil armstrong and buzz aldrin planted and american flag that morning. neil armstrong, age 38, same age as i will uttered that phrase no one will ever forget. that's one small step for one giant leap for mankind. walter cronkite anchored the launch and landing for cbs news.

back then we into with two young kids about the launch. >> 100 years ago they would think it's crazy to fly up there and everything. >> it's not so crazy now. >> no. >> how about you? >> i think it's interesting. it will probably solve the population explosion and everything if we can settle people up there. >> reporter: in our next half hour, i'll take everyone on tour of the kennedy space center. something you'll only see this morning. they let us walk a mile in the astronaut's space shoes to see what the moments were like just before launch. the saturn 5 rocket that sent the astronauts into space, it was and is the tallest and most powerful rocket ever built. they put it together in the building behind me. just wait until you see how large it is on the inside. >> all right. can't wait. thank you, tony. democrats and some republicans are speaking out against president trump's racist tweets about four democratic women. house democrats introduced a

resolution condemning the president's comments. mr. trump told lawmakers, who are women are color and american citizens, to go back to their countries. the house could vote today on that resolution. so far at least 29 republicans have criticized the president's words. >> yesterday the four women apparently targeted by the president -- he didn't name them specifically -- slammed his comments and racist and called for his impeachment. a short time ago president trump defended his tweets writing, rebu quote, those tweets were not racist. i don't have a racist bone in my body. >> ibram kendi, director of nti-racist research and policy s iner at american university in washington, d.c. he's made the trip to join us at onsidered this morning. good to see you. >> good morning. people us to the history of go back where you came from? >> why is it considered a racist statement? i know it made a lot of people alinge when he said it. probn the 19th century many

reformers, thought the way to oflve the race problem, specifically negro problem, was a send back the blacks. it started with jefferson in 1877 and up to abraham lincoln. t it's never said of caucasians nd white people of european descent. >> never. it's assumed it's their country. people of color, it's assumed it's not their country. >> some of the president's supporters have called his tweets inappropriate, not racist. >> first i say there's no such thing as not racist. mething racist and anti-racists. racists suggest something wrong or right, superior or inferior t inheren normal plecans are whites tare america. >> prdea suggests that somehow

people of color are not ters say. raat's deeply racist. >> i heard one of his supporters say they are not racist because in the tweets he never mentions race. how can it be -- i heard someone say, he never mentions race, how can it be considered racist. >> poll taxes, grandfather clauses, these are voting suppression bills widely considered by americans to be racist but there was no racial language in them. fordon't have to have racial therege in an idea or even in a golicy to be racist. it's about the outcome. are you suggesting there's something wrong with a particular group, creating inequity? that's the true measure of in s whether something is racist. >> what role do republicans play in checking the president about these comments. you hear them say it's unacceptable, it's divisive, people are frustrated, but some of them are not really calling out this behavior as racist. what role do they play in sort of helping move this

conversation forward or get a better understanding of how our president can say that and some people feel that's not offensive. >> i think republicans should play the same role as all americans, that is to identify racism when they see it and to say that america is not going to stand for it. this is a bipartisan issue. this is an issue that cuts across lines. either where a nation of immigrants, either a nation where everyone is included or whether a nation of white people. i think we have to decide -- republicans need to decide what type of nation are they going to stand up for. repeatedly condemned racism and bigotry in all forms. >> so every group of racists in american history have condemned bigotry and racism in all forms except their form. slave owners condemned it. segregationist condemned it. mass incarcerators condemn it. they all condemn it but deny

their own racism. that's essential to racism. >> congresswoman ilhan omar came under fire for some of comments she made, some divisive things. should she be criticized? do you see comparisons between her remarks and what the president said as the same? >> i do not. >> why? >> she was very specific in criticizing the policies of a country. in this case, the country was israel. trump has specifically criticized racial groups of people. >> like what? >> when he said that mexicans are rapists. when he said black people -- that a trait of blacks is laziness. this is a condemnation of a racial group of people. that is effectively racism. when we criticize a try's poli, is not -- when you criticize israeli policies

that's not antisemitic but when you say something wrong where juice that is. >> can you criticize racist tweets and not be a racist. >> what you do, what you say, what policies you support determines whether you're being racist or anti-racist. no, if you say things that are racist, you're racist. just like if you say things anti-racist the next minute you're being anti-racist. what we do are effectively who we are in that moment. >> the people that don't criticize those remarks, are they racist? people say i like his policies. i don't like he said that but i like some of his policies. >> so when you have a politician who is mass producing and circulating ideas, racist ideas as ones i just described, saying that immigrants from the south are criminals bev says anything about immigrants from europe or even the north. when you ask him when he says these things and you don't challenge these things, you're

in part, it was indeed a giant leap for the people of the earth. i into with them earlier about the apollo mission and nasa's plans to return to the moon by 2024. i'm joined by astronauts nick hague and christina koch. good morning, guys. >> good morning, tony. it's a pleasure to be with you. >> it looks like you've been having some fun this morning. i've been watching flips and turns, a lot of fun in anti-gravity. i guess my first question is here we are 50 years from the "apollo 11" mission. as you twirl and orbit in space, what does it mean to you? >> i think what it means to us is a great inspirational moment to think back to what the teams were able to accomplish when they really put their minds to something and they took on the challenge that was so huge that they knew it would alter the course of history. we feel connected to that event because we're so honored to be part of the space program today and to continue their legacy. we're in a period now where we're able to explore the

frontiers of science and uncover and unlock amazing secrets that help to benefit life on earth. so feeling that connection and that inspiration is really what it means to us today. >> nick, you've had the experience of a phairy near abort after launch. in fact, it was a full abort. with that in mind, can you help us understand what the "apollo 11" astronauts must have been thinking as they prepared for launch 50 years ago this morning? >> you know, i think that every hat'strapped themselves into a rocket thinks the same things. you've spent many years training for that moment to try to do everything perfect and to -- if something doesn't work right with the system to figure out how to work around it. that's what we train for. there's a massive team on the ground that prepares you for that. so that's what gives you the confidence going in, knowing that you've got this gigantic

team of 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of people that are supporting you and making it all possible. they are as committed to making it a successful mission as you are. and so the second time i got into the rocket, i was just as confident as the first time i got into the rocket and it's because of that team. >> hey, christina, you said that being in space and seeing the perspective of the earth from above, the so-called overview effect, has reminded you that we are one on this planet. can you talk about about how one's perspective changes being in space and what it might mean if everybody got that perspective? >> you're exactly right. the perspective of looking down on the earth from here is a big reminder that as humans were most fundamental aspects of who we are, and that we're way more alike than we are different. those differences are just as exciting, and they often arise from just the amazing geographical conditions of where

we are on the planet. i think the apollo astronauts had an even more amazing perspective of earth. the photograph, the famous photograph of earth rise, earth taken from the moon, really showed us that we are on one planet, and that that planet is what sustains us all and what we have in common. if everyone had the opportunity to see that, we would certainly know that deep down we are all the same and that we can accomplish the best things and the greatest things when we work together as humans. >> ain't it true. nick hague will return to the earth in the fall. christina koch will remain in orbit until february 2020 at which time she will have set a record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman. i'll send it back to you guys. i want to underscore what christina had to say, from the perspective of space, all the astronauts say, we are one planet. >> we can't wait for her to return and spread that message. thank you, tony.

morning." it's that time again to bring you some of the stories that we call "talk of the table." we each pick a story to share with you. jericka, you go first. >> this one is hopeful, i think. >> like that. >> it affects a lot of people. scientists are getting closer to a long sought-after blood test to screen people for possible signs of alzheimer's disease. so scientists got together recently, the american alzheimer's association said the test correctly identified 92% of people who had alzheimer's disease, correctly ruled out 85% who did not have it, giving test an overall accuracy of 88%. a lot of people are impacted by this, whether your parents, grandparents. five million people in the united states, and the early detection is not as invasive as some of the other tests they have. it means maybe a longer life, and also stopping the disease from sort of spreading the way that it can. >> so encouraging. and it can't come soon enough. >> a lot of people worry about it. i like that.

my story is british computing pioneer and legendary world war ii code breaker alan turing will be the new face on britain's 50-pound note, worth about $62. this is very significant. turing cracked -- helped lead a team that cracked the nazi code in world war ii that turned the course of the war. he designed a computer that was a machine that was a forerunner of the modern computer. but what became tragic was he was prosecuted in the '50s for homosexuality which was then illegal. he died a couple of years later at the age of 41. queen elizabeth ultimately pardoned him posthumously. he was played by benedict cumberbatch in "the imitation game." finally he gets an honor that he deserves for all that he's done for the world, in fact. he was chosen from among 227,000 nominees. alan turing. >> well deserved. i'll go last. it has to do with women's soccer. can't get enough of these women. neither can procter and gamble. why? they're throwing their support behind the women's national team

and their fight for equal pay. how are they doing that? $529,000 they'renating to the national team's players association. part of the e secret deodorant brand. why the figure 529? represents $23,000 for each member of the 23 player world cup roster. inequality is more about pay and players, says procter & gamble, it's about values. this is on the eve of mediation to do something about the gender inequality. hopefully this will put even more pressure on the federal gender discrimination and on the soccer league to do something to change the fight, to change it so that women get equal pay. these women have delivered. if i wasn't already wearing secret deodorant, i'll go out and buy myself some today. comes in a lovely blue tube. lovely blue thing. only on "cbs this morning," we went behind the scenes to see what the "apollo 11" crew did in the hours before they blasted off for the moon 50 years ago today.

curious whate tony shows us everything from where they suited up to what they ate for breakfast. he's at the kennedy space center where the historic launch took place. do tell. >> reporter: good morning. this time 50 years ago they would have been on their way. the three men woke up not far from where i'm standing, and they woke up with a singular mission in mind, becoming the first human crew to land on the moon. not only land but step out and walk on another world. bob cabana guided us through the lunar pioneers that they take took on that day. at 4:15 in 1969 the astronauts would have woken up at crew quarters. they would have been in a bedroom down the hallway to the right and made their way to the lining room, where on the menu,

anything they wanted. what they happened to choose was scrambled eggs, steak, toast, orange juice, and coffee. how were they thinking about that flight to come? >> i think they're thinking, you've practiced for it. so you know what to expect. >> reporter: 4:15 a.m. wake-up, breakfast, then they show up here in the -- >> suit room. you got your suit on, and you sat down in that seat, and they hook you up with panels to make sure everything was working correctly before you headed out. >> reporter: all suited up, the three "apollo 11" astronauts walked down this hallway? >> right. with the team supporting them. and the support crew here in crew quarters would be standing at the door cheering and clapping and they would get in the van and go to the pad. >> reporter: once you come out those doors, you see the cameras, you see the people, i got to imagine that these guys are realizing the whole world is watching. >> you walk out, and everybody's cheering and clapping. it makes you feel proud. >> reporter: we were just in the crew quarters where the crew gets dressed. >> right. >> reporter: this is where, correct me if i'm wrong, the rocket gets dressed. >> that's right. the vehicle assembly building.

>> reporter: the saturn 5 is still the biggest rocket ever made. to put that together you had to build what is still one of the biggest buildings ever made. >> absolutely. >> reporter: these ceilings are 500-plus feet? >> i think 535 when you're up on the roof. >> reporter: we're on our way to the roof. >> on our way to the roof. we're at the 34 level. we'll get on a different elevator that goes to the top. >> reporter: "apollo 11" 50 years ago -- >> 50 years ago, that pad. the caller transporter would pick up the mobile launcher with the rocket, roll out the big doors, go in less than a mile-an-hour, and head out the 3.5-mile trek to the pad. >> reporter: you say 39b is our >> 39b. we've been challenged to put the firs moon in 224. and we're going to make that happen. i think we've got an outstanding future. >> reporter: i did ask cab ban that about a new cbs poll that shows fewer than 50% of americans think their country remains the world leader in space exploration. he acknowledged that nasa has to do a better job communicating

to the public about what he calls the great things they're doing, but he thinks we're still the leader. and to demonstrate it he says we'll be going back to the moon in 2024. after that, of course, the goal is mars. gayle? >> the goal is mars. tony, that it was such a great piece. part of your piece, we had side by side of what they had back then and showed you walking today in 2019. very nicely done. gives me a lot of goosebumps. thank you, sir. see you back at the table tomorrow. as rapper meek mill -- >> all right. >> all right. as rapper meek mill tries to get his conviction on drug and gun charges overturned he wants to be the face of criminal justice reform. coming up only on "cbs this morning," we talk with him about how his time on probation has impacted his family life.

♪ philadelphia hip-hop artist meek mill will be back in court today trying to get his more than decade-old conviction on gun and drug charges thrown out. the rapper wants to make himself the face of criminal justice reform after many criticized his 2017 prison sentence for violating probation as too extreme. only on "cbs this morning," we met with meek mill in his hometown of philadelphia. we

>> people come up in the environments that i come up in around drugs, violence, death. you see at on a daily basis. and you know, people make mistakes. people have -- people selling drugs on your doorstep, shooting every night in your neighborhood. as you know it and get older, i was 18 when i got caught carrying a gun. i felt like that was necessary >> to protect yourself? >> i think any smart person in america, if he was in that situation, like this is the only choice you have to make to stay alive. ♪ >> reporter: philadelphia native robert rihmeek williams, better known as meek mill, served five months in prison after a 2008 conviction and was given seven years probation. after violations that extended that probation, including failing a drug test and violating travel restrictions, a judge sentenced the rapper in 2017 to up to four years in prison. >> free meek mill!t iv

he walked free month later after the pennsylvania supreme court intervened, but he's still on probation. >> some days i think about it, wake up like, i'm on probation, i can't just get up and take my son to disney world. i'm having to ask someone if i can travel my whole adult life since the age of 18 to 32. i can't go across the state line. >> reporter: any time you want to go somewhere outside of what, philadelphia -- >> yeah, philadelphia. >> reporter: -- you have to get permission to travel? >> yes. even if it's to the next county over. if it's out of the city. if you don't ask for permission, you can get the rest of your probation time given to you as jail time legally. >> taking your son to school, you have to call and get permission? >> yes. my son lives in new jersey, but i live in philadelphia, the bridge is a 15-minute ride. it's just a bridge. i couldn't get him from school. >> what are you teaching my son? >> i'm teaching my son about dignity. i'm teaching him about respect. i'm teaching him about being like i was and always being the man of the house. >> by the time you were 5, you didn't have a father. how do you learn to be a good father? >> by watching tv shows and

something like that really. >> seriously? >> yeah. basically, you just got to learn. i'm not perfect, i don't know, i try to make the best of it. >> you feel they support you here? >> yeah. >> now 32 years old, meek mill is paying it forward. the rapper's partnered with philadelphia 76ers co-owner michael rubin and hip-hop icon jay-z to create the reform alliance. that's an organization dedicated to battling injustice. >> it's the way that the system is structured. like you have a kid, you got 35 charges, he's facing 25 years. he was selling two bags of weed. but ended up getting charged with a bunch of charges. he don't have money, so he can't hire an attorney. he's going to take a deal. and his life is just ruined. >> you are not advocating for people who have actually committed crimes. that's not what you're saying here. >> i'm not speaking for low lives, anyone out here being a threat and doing what you're doing to break the community, i'm not speaking for you. i'm speaking for the people who are actually caught up in these situations and trying to make it

out. if you do your time for your crime and get out of the system and are trying to better yourself, i'm speaking for you. people in this world make mistakes. >> that's why the reform alliance is so important. tell me about the work you want to do with that. >> the work i want to do is actually make a smart probation and parole act where you can gain your life back and get your life back on track, not just be caught up in a loop and going in and out of the system. i want to do something for the people who come from where i come from because we do start, and it goes back to slavery. we have to catch up. you know, i want to help people get the right start and make it a fair game. >> prosecutors also agree that meek mill's conviction should be overturned because of a perceived bias from the judge who sentenced him. the rapper could be retied under a new judge. and we'll have more next week including a special announcement about his next chapter. it's a very big deal. i'm holding myself not being able to say -- it's so important, but he makes a very important case about probation.

couple times he was shooting a video, he was driving a motorcycle and popped a wheelie. he was arrested for that. that's considered a violation probation. they said failed a drug test, failed for taking percocet. he said let the punishment fit the crime. he said the probation violations are out of control. >> does he believe it will be overturned? >> it's funny, i asked him that. he goes i don't know what to think. you know, there was a time in my life where i would obsess about what's going to happen. now he says, i'm going to go with the flow. he hopes it would be overturned, but he never thought he would be in this position. >> his expectations have not been met up to now. >> we will know today what's going to happen. >> setting a good example, you know, for the people that are in those situations and learning you can't beat the system. >> and because it's him and the people that he's teamed up with, he does have a very unusual platform that people will pay attention to. >> all right. thank you, gayle.

on today's "cbs this morning" podcast, we look at the historical significance of president kennedy's bold plan to send humans to the moon. listen wherever you like to get your podcast. and before you go, we'll go back to the kennedy space center where tony is joined by former nasa astronaut peggy whitson. she will share how watching the moon landing as a 9-year-old changed her life forever. you're watching "cbs this morning." movie night! excuse me.

all right! what are we watching? living with directv has been a learning experience. let's see what's on tv. directv satellite powers activate! you're kidding. yeah. that's not how that works at all. can you show us streaming apps? sorry. my remote doesn't do voice commands. i guess you could say i'm a little bit old school. lamar, can you dim the lights? stop living with directv. find all of your favorites faster with the xfinity x1 voice remote. former nasa astronaut peggy whitson first dreamed of going armstrong take that first step on the moon.

peggy spent a record 665 days in space. more than any other american in history. she is with tony who's at the kennedy space center for the 50th anniversary of that "apollo 11" launch. tony? >> reporter: hey, guys. she says she doesn't make it back that much these days, but she remembers being a 9-year-old in iowa on a farm when "apollo" launched. take us back to that moment. >> actually, the most memorable part for me was the -- the touchdown and the first step on the moon. i remember that distinctly. it was late at night for me. i was supposed to be in bed, and my parents got us out of bed so we could watch it. i think part of the reason i remember it is because we got to stay up late to watch it. >> you were inspired by sally ride, the first woman in space. now there are a lot of boys and girls watching right now,

looking at you and feeling inspired. what's the best advice you've received for them? >> the best advice is find your passion, work really, really hard, and push yourself, challenge yourself to live outside what's comfortable for you. that's when you find out how much you can do. >> in a cbs poll most americans say they support a return to the moon, but most americans thought the money it would cost to get there might be better spent elsewhere. what's the argue for going back? >> i think exploration, pushing the limits, pushing our boundaries is the reason to go back. it improves our technology here on earth. all the money that gets spent on that space exploration is spent down here on the ground, and we're developing new technologies. so i think it's really important. >> i know you happen to believe there's more life out there other than us. you think we'll find it quickly? >> i hope so. maybe not on the moon, but we'll find it. >> gayle, you're looking for an answer on that, as well. as we close, i want to say i didn't think it was possible to get chills in 90-degree heat, but standing here with peggy on this historic day on the spot where cronkite made the call 50

years ago, turns out it is possible. back to you. >> i feel it, too. peggy whitson is such a bad ass. you're lucky got to talk to her. i think of walter cronkite. his voice, wasn't he the perfect one to lead the country -- >> he was pretty speechless at the moment. >> it was really something. our 50th anniversary coverage will continue tonight on "cbs evening news" with norah o'donnell. she has a primetime special about that. it never gets old to me. >> it is a very special special. it's great. >> you remember all the details. back then i thought news was boring even though i had to watch. it i don't remember the details. you remember the details -- >> where we live we had bad tv reception. my father drove me to a place to watch the moon landing. i remember it well. everybody was glued to it. >> everybody was talking about it. do we dare ask you, miss duncan, what - >>this ia kpix5 news
