region but a growing and strengthening challenge to the united states. first, china's president xi jinping. his big spending on the military included deploying just this month the very first chinese-built aircraft carrier, a bid to confront the u.s. for control of the region. but closer to home, xi has not been able to control this year's pro-democracy riots in hong kong. once the jewel of asia, the city is now better known for tear gas and street violence with no end in sight. asia's other strong man, north korea's kim jong-un took power when his father died in 2011. the faces of his family dynasty are everywhere. two solidify his power, kim is making life better for an emerging middle class. department stores have goods.

and pyongyang has a new amusement park. >> rocket man -- >> reporter: even president trump's name-calling seems to have raised kim's status. >> rocketman should have been handled a long time ago. >> reporter: two nuclear summons followed. >> my friend. >> reporter: as did a remarkable photo op when trump became the first sitting american president to step in to north korea. >> stepping across that line was a great honor. a lot of progress has been made. >> reporter: but months after that photo op, economic sanctions are still in place, and kim just told his generals to accelerate military development, and that could mean new nuclear weapons or ballistic missile tests. this decade began with a nuclear horror, explosions at a japanese nuclear power plant after flooding from an earthquake triggered tsunami. it ends under a different sort of nuclear cloud that threatens the united states and the world.

humanity and to support humanity's love for exploration, then we have to do it with all humanity. and i think we're seeing that as our plans unfold for going back to the moon, seeing the first woman walk on the moon in 202004, and just recognizing that we have to go together if queer going to go and do it right. >> reporter: while she is not on earth, cook has kept her eye on home, sharing photos with our planet with her 145,000 twitter followers, most recently a picture of mt. everest. >> i would say the most awe inspiring thing i've ever seen is the northern lights or southern lights or auroras as we call them from above on a planetary scale. i've had the opportunity working in antarctica and the arctic to see them from below and the beautiful shimmering lights along the sky and taking over the whole sky. but to look down on the earth and see the entire shape of the auroras as they form near the poles was truly an amazing sight, and literally took my breath away. >> reporter: being away for so long has required sacrifice, including spending holidays away
