one of them that is area over parts of the caribbean. let's look at this. in the next five days, not today or tomorrow, but over the next several days, maybe toward next weekend, we could see a system develop as it moves closer to parts of mexico and then thereafter, perhaps the gulf of mexico. but there's more. there's another more likely candidate in the middle of the atlantic ocean. that will be moving toward the west-northwest, and interest in the caribbean or southeastern u.s., pay attention to this as we go forward the next several days. back to you, jer. >> all right, greg postel, thank you. speaking of weather, right now the weather is 80% favor for the launch of the most powerful rocket in space history. it stands on bad 39-b at the kenny space center. cbs' mark strassmann is there with more on the goal of this big mission, mark? >> nasa's update here. everything seems good to go for launch. all the focus on the rocket you see behind me and the launch nasa hopes will lift everyone watching.

on the eve of launch, some nasa engineers probably feel stress. but they intend to stress this sls rocket in a test flight more demanding than in astronauts were aboard. >> we're going to push this thing to the limit, to see if everything is performing right so that it's as safe as possible when we put the crew on it. >> reporter: this rocket is a monster. 322 feet tall, weighing almost 6 million pounds when fully fueled. for nasa, the stakes are just as massive. artemis 1 needs to work. after liftoff, artemis 1 will push its orion capsule toward the moon for a three-week orbit before a return splash-down in the pacific ocean. a 42-day flight covering 1.3 million miles. nasa's most ambitious moonshot since the apollo area. no one has moonwalked since 1972.

i'm jericka duncan in new york. all systems are go for this morning's scheduled launch of the artemis 1 rocket. lightning strikes over the kennedy space center this weekend did no damage, and nasa has a two-hour launch window beginning around 8:00 a.m. eastern time. artemis is the most powerful and complex rocket nasa has ever built. this unmanned mission is designed to test systems that will eventually carry astronauts back to the moon. the mission has been plagued by long delays and massive cost overruns that threatened to

ground the entire project. mark strassmann has more. >> reporter: returning astronauts to the moon has been america's on again, off again goal and nasa keeps moving its target gate for a moon landing. that's only one reason behind artemis' soaring costs. >> this has got to be one of the most proud moments of my life, i guarantee you. >> reporter: our interest in exploring the moon has waxed and waned over the half century since apollo and these images. the big question, when will we see moonwalkers again? >> on this schedule, we think we will land at the end of '25. >> '25? >> that's our plan. >> is a 2025 moon landing realistic? >> no. >> reporter: paul martin is nasa's inspector general. the in-house watchdog for a can-do space agency. >> that culture of optimism results in unrealistic cost and schedule projections. >> why is that? >> i think two main reasons.

the first is the technical complexity of the mission. >> understandable. >> this is difficult stuff. and the second, they do wonderful things, but they have less than stellar project management practices. >> reporter: the artemis program is years behind schedule and billions over budget. total spent so far, $40 billion. the first four launches will cost $4 billion apiece. the worry here that level of spending is not sustainable. >> at $4.1 billion per launch, you're going to be limited to one launch perhaps every other year. and that cadence of launches is not going to achieve nasa's mission of having a permanent presence on the lunar surface. >> the dollars just aren't endless? >> the dollars aren't going to be there. >> reporter: last november, martin's office published this reality check. artemis' total cost, something nasa had never revealed. what is the price tag? >> from fiscal 2012 through

fiscal 2025, $93 billion. >> yes, spaceflight is expensive. and when you are doing new things for the first time, it's expensive. over time, that cost is going to come down dramatically. >> reporter: one cost-cutting move, reusing the orion crew capsule on later flights. but the massive space launch system rocket is single use. mandated by congress, built by nasa's space shuttle-era contractors, and at least $2 billion over budget. it's currently the only rocket powerful enough to lift orion to lunar orbit. if there were an equally capable but cheaper commercial alternative, would you consider it? >> of course. but there isn't. and there won't be for awhile.

this is the only rocket and spacecraft that are here, and we're ready to go. >> reporter: but nelson agrees, challenges remain for a 2025 moon landing. a lunar lander to take astronauts down to the surface, and spacesuits for moonwalking. both still in development. both behind schedule. >> by spending much more, perhaps, than it should have cost, nasa can do less science, do less exploration. it's going to take nasa longer to accomplish those missions. >> have you projected what is a realistic date for american boots to be back on the moon? >> the earliest possible we see is some point in late 2026. but even i think that's optimistic. >> reporter: long-term, nasa wants to take what it learns on the moon and put astronauts on mars. but here's what nasa's inspector general told us. either the space agency learns to spend its money more effectively and efficiently, or those mars dreams will become

pipe dreams. >> that again was mark strassmann at the kennedy space center. covid vaccinations here in the united states have plummeted recently. most americans have either gotten their shots or decided they won't get vaccinated at all. that's left a lot of doses set to expire. one doctor in laredo, texas, is putting those shots to use by helping to vaccinate children from mexico. manuel bejorcas has more. >> 6:30 you got in line, now it's almost 11:00. >> reporter: this is the line for a covid vaccine. hundreds of men, women, and children in mexico wait hours for a chance to get the shot. this line is here almost every day? >> every day. >> every day? >> every day. >> reporter: dr. victor trevino works on the other side in laredo, texas, but is leading a binational effort to distribute vaccine doses here. >> the reason is we're one

community. what affects us whasks them, and vice versa. both communities are 150 miles away from major cities. so we have to tend to our needs locally. >> reporter: so the team, with the approval of u.s. customs and border protection, devised a way to bring people to a secure spot along the port of entry. there are a few reasons they bus people to the point of entry to distribute the vaccines. one is they don't want to export vaccines that were paid for by u.s. tax dollars. but these doses were just days away from expiring. they were donated by doctors on the u.s. side who said there are no takers there, and there are plenty of takers here. especially parents with children under 5 who are not yet eligible for the vaccine here. josefina is here with her two grandchildren. and they're going for their second shot. once parked, dr. trevino joins other doctors and nurses on the bus, where the shots and crying begin.

followed by gratitude from adults who got the shot too, like josephina. you have hypertension and diabetes, so this is very important for you? >> reporter: on the way back, some of the kids show off. >> your arm? you didn't cry? you're strong. ah, you play baseball, that's why you're so strong. >> reporter: the mayor, carmen lilja canterosa, says the children's vaccinations have given her city a milestone. 6 months to 4 years old. >> 5 years, 12, the first in mexico. >> in all of mexico? >> yes. >> reporter: the binational program, after more than a year, has vaccinated 250,000 people and counting. >> people are very grateful. you have a smile on your face doing it. >> i like it. it's very satisfying. we do it because it's a need. we have a need.

they put papier-mache, plexiglass, threw all kind of stuff on it. obama election posters, whatever. and ultimately it was completely opaque, concealed from the public for more than a year. people forgot that it was there. >> reporter: thankfully, with the help of restoration artist egrenr, aounati who's worked ong art at locations throughout europe, this banksy was saved. we had a chance to talkn e front of what is banksy's most famous work in the big easy, "umbrella girl." now what you're doing with banksy is similar to what you do with ancient art forms in europe, is that you're trying to take them out of their original context and just preserve them? >> well, we have to, sometimes, to protect them. >> reporter: now sean and alise plan to keep on protecting new orleans' remaining banksies. next on their list is banksy's
