7:04 am
origin spacecraft on a mission to space. now triumphant, they have returned. gayle king is in texas. it was impressive from all the way in new york. i can't imagine what it looked like fromre oh, my gosh. exuberance, jubilation. this is my first space launch. i have to say i didn't know what to expect. once it took off to know there were four people on board, i got emotional watching them go up and come back down safely. to see it in person. because i am, this is my first, i am leaning into the monitor. mark says gayle, turn around, you can see it in person. good tip. we saw another giant leap towards commercial space flight in van horn texas a short while ago. i hope you were watching in real time. billionaire jeff bezos launched
7:05 am
into space, successfully returned aboard "new shepard" crew, named after shepard. >> you can hear wally funk. she's so fun. she said i'm going to start that. that was amazon founder jeff bezos cheering along with crew as their flight made it out of the atmosphere, along for the ride, his brother mark. he is 53, jeff bezos is 57. 82-year-old wally funk leading the cheer there. 18-year-old student oliver daeman. oldest and youngest on board. the rocket booster landed back on earth.
7:06 am
it was quite a sight. the trip took over ten minutes. i looked at the clock, ten minutes and 20 seconds. by the time "new shepard" touched down, jeff bezos had a huge smile on his face. crowds gathered on the ground to watch this remarkable flight. we have a lot to get to this morning. first, mark strassmann has gone to the training center to talk to the crew as soon as they get off the capsule. earlier, mark strassmann was here, reporting what it took to get here. >> when he launched into space, jeff bezos gave his company's product the ultimate endorsement. riding on a fully automated rocket never before carried a human to the edge of space.

7:08 am
>> proper way to end the space flight. >> only proper way to end a space flight, with champagne shower. >> you look at that, you see the cheers and celebration, all the families and friends gathered as soon as they walked off the capsule. guys, as i said at the top of the broadcast, i've never been to a space launch before, i wasn't sure what to expect. i felt so anxious for them when i woke up this morning. you all hope it goes well. let me tell you something, the blue origin crew was so confident, they felt really good, crossed every i, dotted every t. had a couple of holds, four minute hold, was supposed to take off 9:00 eastern, there wa hold, very brief. made it clear they're not going up until it is ready. they don't have to explain what caused the hold. i am hoping to find it out later today. i like the blue origin motto,
7:09 am
step by step ferociously. that seems exactly what they've done today. i can't tell you how exciting to be here in person. we are three miles from the site and it was exciting to hear it and the cheering and applause. back to you in new york. >> exciting from here too. this was a short mission, ten minutes. but it was 20 years in the making. >> i like what bill harwood was saying what it means for the future. a lot of people will watch and people that shrugged their shoulders, others are excited. theodore harvey, young man watching. >> saw him in the crowd. >> he was so excited. i thought for evy, dreamsing toe >> exactly.ll >> we all had those moments in our childhood where it moves you to the next level. the ability imagine.
7:10 am
incredible. >> in that sense, those were four ordinary people that went into space. there's new covid guidance from american academy of pediatrics. more than 4 million have been infected during the pandemic. there are fears the number could rise due to the delta variant and looser restrictions. i spoke to biden's medical adviser, dr. anthony fauci, about what parents should do. president biden's chief medical adviser dr. anthony fauci joins us with more. good morning. >> good morning. >> what should parents do when
7:11 am
children head back to school. >> do what is asked for locally. they make the recommendation children should wear masks two years old onward. that is the extra step of caution in general that is different from the cdc guidelines but right now the cdc is carefully looking at that and will hopefully have some concordance of the recommendations. but the reason for what the academy did was because of the high degree of infection dynamics that we're seeing. if you look at the map of the country right now there's an uptick in cases in virtually all the states in the united states and for that reason they want to go the extra mile to make sure the children are protected in school. >> obviously everybody wants to see children back in school. there are diseases obviously where vaccinations are required. things like small pox or mumps. should the covid vaccine be on a list like that for children to be in school and have that vaccination?
7:12 am
>> that might actually occur. that is not the situation right now but i could imagine as we get further into this and we see where we're going with this outbreak, whether or not it's going to be essentially with us for a onsiderable period of time. i would not be surprised. that is not a policy right now so don't anyone get confused by what i'm saying. what i am saying is i would not be surprised that in the future this is something that would be seriously considered depending upon how we handle the outbreak. if we completely crush this and it stays away and there's very little activity at all, which i hope happens, right now that's not happening but if it does happen, then i don't think you require that. but if we go into this year and the next year and we see we still have a problem with this, it very well might be required. >> and you talk about that spread, especially with the delta variant right now. only about 50% of the country, a little less, are fully vaccinated.
7:13 am
you are everywhere. there are vaccines everywhere. they're available. what else can the federal government do at this point to get more people vaccinated? >> well, what they're concentrating on is to try and get trusted messengers to get to people who are recalcitrant about getting vaccinated and try and explain to them the importance of not only their health but for that of the family and the community in general. people like your family physician, clergy, respected members of society. whatever it takes because you're absolutely right. this is untenable to have an outbreak of this type and to have relatively speaking, a lot of people vaccinated. those are the people getting infected. the striking statistic that people should pay attention to. 99.5% of all the deaths due to
7:14 am
covid-19 are among unvaccinated people. that's a striking statistic so when people are unvaccinated and they look at that, hopefully they'll really take a look at t. really for my own safety and that of the community it's very important to get vaccinated. put all other things aside. ideological differences, political differences and just focus on what this really is. it's a public health issue, a very serious public health issue. that's the reason why people should seriously -- yeah. >> numbers don't always tell the full story but with that one it helps give perspective. dr. anthony fauci, thank you for the time. the spread of the delta variant is hitting the market sending the dow into its sharpest decline yesterday since october. pandemic threats to the economy are a big focus of the biden administration. weijia jiang reports from the white house.
7:15 am
>> reporter: good morning to you. the delta variant is surging, but president biden said the rise in prices is expected to be temporary. republicans say it is hurting the middle class, blaming the administration. both sides can agree the economy and the deadly pandemic are closely intertwined. >> we cannot be complacent. economic recovery hinges on getting the pandemic under control. >> reporter: president biden urged americans to get vaccinated after fears of another wave of covid-19 rattled the markets on monday. the president also tried to calm concerns about inflation. >> most of the price increases we've seen were expected and expected to be temporary. >> reporter: in the last 12 months consumer prices increased 5.4%, the sharpest spike since 2008. used cars and trucks and gasoline are up by more than
7:16 am
45%. airline fares are nearly 25% more expensive and food prices are 2.4% higher. >> according to president biden himself, the solution is, listen to this, even more of the same. the opportunity to attack the democrats' $3.5 trillion plan to expand health care, education and climate programs warning it would lead to even higher prices. >> they're going to transform our economy back to where it was in the '70s where inflation was so high it ate away middle class families savings. >> economic expert diane swong said that is unlikely. >> the good news is as we get into 2022, we're likely to see some prices slow down and normalize as the economy resets in the pandemic world. >> reporter: president biden said he recently met with federal reserve chair jerome powell and he made aware central banks should take whatever steps
7:17 am
are necessary to support a strong economic recovery. fed officials do not have plans to raise interest rates any time soon. >> thank you, weijia. some large 80 fires are burning across 13 states. almost 770 square miles destroyed in washington and oregon. more than half a dozen large fires are burning in california. the smoke is so intense in places you could actually see it from space. jonathan vigliotti is close to the tamarack fire where overnight rain did little to slow the flames. >> reporter: southeast of lake tahoe, firefighters at the front lines of the tamarack fire are not only battling the ever-growing flames, they're impacted by heavy smoke and ash. >> we've been hampered due to smoke conditions. >> reporter: this lightning sparked fire started on july 4th
7:18 am
but started growing rapidly over the weekend. >> the winds picked up.s, lowue moistures and that is what caused it to get to the size it is now. >> reporter: meanwhile, in southern oregon more than 2200 firefighters are working to contain the so-called bootleg fire the size of chicago. one of the largest in modern oregon history. but with the fire reaching the heights of tall trees, there's only so much that can be done from the ground. >> we are seeing retardant drops. they don't stop it. they will slow it down. none will stop the fire. >> it quickly swept through yesterday, promising evacuations. flames are burning in remote canyons. there's rain expected later today which will provide relief. also new concerns this morning, anthony. the possibility of debris flows
7:19 am
and mud slides in burned out areas. >> thank you. the duke of sussex wants people to know more about his life, and prince harry's latestr

8:45 am
women who went through the same uncompromising exams. >> we had no idea what we were going through. we didn't know where it was taking us. x-raying all your body, every bone, every tooth. sticking water in your ears. i had to drink radioactive water. >> so these were painful, strenuous, uncomfortable tests? >> yes. >> reporter: the women of mercury 13 met and often surpassed the results of the men. >> so you went through all these tests. was there any question in your mind that you would become an astronaut? >> no, i knew i would now. >> reporter: but the women would never get their chance. nasa required astronauts to be military test pilots and the military women to fly. decades later, american women did find their place at nasa. >> she definitely was a personal inspiration to me. >> reporter: including retired astronaut this whose spent more than 100 days in space.
8:46 am
>> do you kind of think about her paving the way? because it was some pretty ridiculous stuff. >> all of us as women astronauts that recognized that we don't get here by ourselves, you know, we are leveraging every day, you know, kind of the awe and wonder that was put before us, the strength that was put before us. >> for wally funk, the dream never died. it's only now being realized. >> i won. that is my quest. >> most people would have given up by now. >> but i'm not. i love flying and that's my job, that's what i love, and i'm not a quitter. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," michelle miller, new york. >> done it, she has. and jeff bezos and his crew members are beginning their news conference right now. let us listen in. >> the pieces represent the road to space and our feather logo is the crossbar. and at the top, a tiny blue
