any sharp edges around that hatch are protected. scottish whiskey or a beer. >> what are they looking for now in the capsule? >> the blue suit is one of >> there will be some high nasa's flight surgeons for the crew. that's dr. stephen hart. priority items that were stowed hatch open coming at 12:59 with the crew. some experiments that don't have pacific. that's 19:59 universal time or a long shelf life. they probably back some high priority stuff. stuff you want eed to retrieve gmt. right away. tough the scientists are keen to see. there's also just the spacex side. they want to know how their vehicle did. this is the first flight. you never got on an airline that had not flown a thousands times with a test pilot. this is the first flight of this thing with people. there's a huge learning curve. part of what they are getting in is to check and see whether all of their guesses and asulgss
1:02 pm
were helping. >> once again, the spacex recovery team is assisting astronauts to exit the >> we are watching from moments spacecraft. >> we got the hatch open just about two minutes ago. ago the disembarking. these are not live pictures. we paused for little while. they were detecting sprtrace amounts. we executed a series of purges is nasa continually checking in and then once those were down with you in terms of the long back to acceptable limits we term effects of exposure, long were able to then start with the exposure in space. >> they're not just checking with me, they're checking with buzz. egress. people that were hired in the >> there we see stretcher on deck. early '60s because we don't know this is normal. this is part of the standard recovery peer. it's just simply to ensure bob what are the long term effects and doug remain safe, like we of space flight. some of the people only have
1:03 pm
said, readjusting to gravity can short flights like walt be challenging. cunningham and someone like dizziness can occur especially when you're on a boat. peggy who is the most experienced astronaut in space history, she's been in space this stretcher will just be used over 600 days. to standard procedure to make all of us, at least once a year, sure that the astronauts make it go back the houston and get a over to the medical tent as very detailed physical so they can track what is the long term easily and as comfortably as possible. health. >> as we discussed, their what are the effects of the reintroduction to gravity from things that happen the you when you're in space. micro gravity can be a bit jarring so the stuff responsible >> have you noticed anything for our balance and as they are personally? >> no. on a ship on their way rgs we i'm lucky. just want to make sure we're taking every possible precaution how do you tell? to ensure their arrival is safe and free from my injury now that how dwroup know what was going to happen the you any way. they are home. that's why you have to do it with everybody so you get enough of an understanding of normal. pretty soon people will be going to the moon regularly and be setting up permanent habitation on moon. we raeally want to understand
1:04 pm
what are the health impacts of that. is it possible toll have a baby they're working to get a few of on moon. could an infantastic develop the items from the seat out of the way first before they begin normally with only a tiny bit of extracting our crew members. gravity. what happens with pure oxygen they will be coming out one at a environment after months. what air pressure do you need living on the moon? there's so many things we don't time. know that are normal for human health. we're trying to figure out as many of those as we can as our steps take us further and further away from the planet. >> you're a big thinker. the sky is the limit. thank you. my thanks to ali and kathy. thank you at home for watching this milestone, this historic landing. richard picks up our coverage from here. >> as we saw during the assent >> what an afternoon on history right in front of us. prgs >> absolutely. it's been an honor to bring it portion of this mission, there to you all. is enough room if the capsule >> what's old is new and new is for them to do a back flip in new with this now landing brak micro gravity. on earth. however, considering there's a great stuff. couple of folks in there from >> thank you. the recovery team.
1:05 pm
>> got you loud and clear. a quick comm check there. mission accomplished. 2:48 p.m. is when we saw this land back on earth. >> i'm sure they'll have some we now are successfully watching good words for you guys as well. that splashdown in the gulf of thank you for doing the most mexico off of coast of difficult part and most important parts of space flight, pensacola, florida. the mission just missing getting us into orbit and brings us home safely. thank you again for the good tropical storm isaias. it's the first time a privately ship endeavour. owned company helped launch two >> thank you, bob for those u.s. astronauts into space and awesome words. brought them back safely. it's also marks first water it's been an honor and pleasure to work with you from the entire landing with astronauts on board since 1975. spacex team. the two astronauts inside the it's been awesome. crew dragon spent 63 days at the iss. welcome back to earth to both of you. some initial words from nasa
1:06 pm
astronaut. >> all right. they opened hatch. leroy, this is really historic. we're waiting for disem goes back to 1960 when this model wads first yudsed. barkment. we heard bob thank the crew for getting them home safely. they're going to be placed on a stretcher. first they will disembark one at we're looking at the tesla in the sky. what consistency. a time. that's normal. all the details and complexity. that's standard. they will be taken to the now it's back. how are you reacting to what you saw today? medical setent as comfortably a >> this was fantastic by all appearances everything went possible. flawlessly. it went very well. having to adjust might be a little jarring for them. i want to bring in retired astronaut peggy witson to talk about the tests that these astronauts will undergo in the we put forth the option of medical tent. putting together commercial crew capability like this. >> they will just watch your fast forward to now. fantastic the see it happen. along the way i was part of the eyes. your eyes are bouncing around a little bit because they aren't quite used to the whole gravity sa thing again. spacex advisory panel. you do different nose touching, to see the sufficiently ending, it's great. finger touching little tests. this is the first time nasa
1:07 pm
if they are feeling good enough, astronauts have launched into they will have them do some orbit aboard a commercial walking tests as well. vehicle and come back safely. really a great day. >> public, private working together. a brand new model when it comes to organizational aboutives. they want to make sure ler everything is normal. leroy, when you're looking at this video that we're replaying, >> doug is the first astronaut to disembark. both of them when they were in i want to bring in retired the sky as well as when they astronaut chris hadfield. we have been talking to peggy landed again back on earth, what are you seeing. about some of the basics that astronauts might feel after being in space for two months. it might be different for everybody. what are some of the effects you >> they only have air friction fee felt when you disembarked? to slow them down from that orbital speed of about 17,500 an >> it's really proportional to how long you were in space. if you only up for a week or two hour. it's not so bad. you body still hasn't adapted. after you've been up two months like these guys were or as long as peggy has been, your body is very used to being weightless. it doesn't know what to do with those burn marks are normal.
1:08 pm
the capsule will be refurbished gravity. it thinks something horrible has and reflown. happened inside you and maybe i remember coming down from the atmosphere in a capsule looking you eight something poisonous. out the porthole and seeing that that's why a will the of people get nauseous. it's prying to protect you from orange plasma and the chunks of what might have caused you to feel so weird and so bad. heat shield flying by. that's all normal. also, they are putting that >> these recovery vehicles, first time used to get a stretcher out, that's mostly so it slows down their readaptation capsule. everything seemed to work. it's got a heli pad on top. so the doctors can get the maximum am of information from what's happening to their bodies. it's a wonderful way to understand how the human body works. how the balance system is allow did they look to you as integrated and everything else. they were leaving the capsule? it's good to just leave themset >> they looked great. they're both veteran flyers. readaptation so the doctors can they spent a lot of time in get a more complete data set. space in was a reasonably short mission for space station fundamentally, that's the main reason we're doing it for the mission. only about 60 or so days. science involved. usually you're talking more like half a year or something like >> bob, just disembarked. that. they came back down. they knew what to expect. gave a thumbs up for all good. they knew how they would react to recoverying the gravity or
1:09 pm
chris, since i have you on the phone t i have to ask you, returning to gravity and so they people around the world will looked happy. they looked good and i'm sure they are a little wobbly. recognize your face for you'll be dizzy. there's no getting around that. educational, informative, even i'm sure they will recover just fine. entertaining videos. >> i was mentioning this earlier you taught us so much in your when lindsay was handing over time in space about science. how excited are you for the the coverage which she handled resurgence of the space program? all afternoon on this. >> i think this is huge. i was saying old is new, new is new. if you were born in the 1950s, you're watching this going, i every one watched this like it was normal. remember those great days. this is the first time this those inspirational days when we spaceship has ever carried first saw the capsules land into people. it's a hugely complicated and the ocean. very dangerous thing to do. when we had that great desire as a country to do something great. it's a huge credit to nasa but if you're born in the '60s and very much to spacex, their the '70s, you may not have ever engineers and the brilliance they exhibited so we can make seen this. something to hard, look so easy now it's new begin. historic in so many levels for and it really bodes well for what's coming next. so many different generations. >> lull. vehicles that cannot only take this is very much an updated version, if you will, of the you to the space station and back but day trip to the moon, 1690s technology of coming down in a capsule under parachute, start staying permanently on the landing in the water in the case
1:10 pm
surface of the moon and across of u.s. spacecraft. that six month ocean in between here and mars. today was just a terrific step towards that of showing just what we're capable of. >> we're waiting for doug to you could argue we're moving a disembark. bob behnken already done. bit basckwards in technology. these are updated parachutes and asking if that could be doug that i'm seeing there. technology. one of the reasons spacex went chris, since i have you on the to capsule is because he wants phone, i want to ask you again. to colonize on mars. what happens after the medical mars atmosphere is not thick enough to enable a space plane to come down and fly down. tent. you have to use a capsule. parachutes can slow it down but you'll have to use rocket engso will they immediately be whisked off into a helicopter in route seeing capsules here. >> how did they get it right on to houston. what a shot right there. the first try? look at that. >> of course they've been flaying the cargo ships, the >> it's fraet to see agreat to . dragon cargo for a number of years. they had a lot of experience
1:11 pm
it's chance to throw up. a chance for the doctors to get doing that. the crew drag don is a new desi. they flu on test flights. a good look at them. get them off the ship, take them to the main land. get them onto an airplane. they had a lot of confidence going into this. get them with some really good it's part of the safety advisory medical data. it's not a far hop from pe panel. we got to see everything and ask the questions and saw they had cloedsed all the issues. pensacola. we were all very confident and get them into the laboratories and the test equipment in very pleased to see how well this flight test went. >> as i said earlier, tesla in sky but it really is when you houston. look at the interior to it. how does it compare to the old capsules to what you know. they got a long day and then >> you're right. they will get reunited with everything is very different their spouses and kids. than any other spacecraft we >> amazing they've got a long ever flown. the space shuttle had great day still ahead of them considering their journey to earth was 19 hours. work. got some flat screens but we saw shortly a short time ago nothing like this. it's more like a tesla in the a quick standing ovation from sky. that's no accident because elon mission control. musk being the ceo and founder
1:12 pm
you mentioned it's great the see of spacex and tesla, he wanted this capsule in such great shape. can you tell me what you're look his spacecraft to have the same look and feel. for. i look at the capsule, i don't it seals to be work out just know what to look for in terms fine. >> his stock price wasn't of the condition. hurting enough, i guess. what a day. >> spacex has flown unpiloted i brought up illusions to movies because that's the only way we versions, cargo versions. have been able to see it up when you put ---like putting until now. it is really amazing to have something into a fire. that unfold in front of our eyes today. it gets a regular burn pattern a little bit look back and on it. forward as well. in this case we know what the thank you so much. burn pattern around the unmanned versions look like so it's really reassuring and it looks like a toasted marshmallow the always great to talk with you. as we mentioned that spacex way this looks. it's got the same toasted mission had a close call with marshmallow patterns on it as i tropical storm isaias . saw on the previous flights. you don't want a surprise when the temperature 3,000 degrees or the storm is hitting florida's more on the outside plus with coast now. the heavy deceleration. you're just sort of guessing when you do it. you've got really good models and testing. some days you have to try it. >> definitely the gulf very
1:13 pm
clear this afternoon. we're still seeing some bands impacting the area. we'll get a lot more data we're currently still tracking a tropical storm waiting for the shortly. from all indications, so far, latest update from the national hurricane center. this was flawless. these bands are currently that's a huge tribute to them and to the policies nasa put in. lashing the east part of florida. we're watching for the potential of a few tornadoes and the flooding, the storm surge will be an issue across florida even though we're not going to see a direct landfall. the stats go like this for tropical storm isaias. 65 miles an hour winds. >> let's talk about this splash we could see gusts that will continue to pick up throughout landing. this is unique. the overnight. i want hasn't happened since it's 45 miles from vero beach, 1945. were you surprised the landing skill happened given hurricane florida. isaias. >> is hut l was far harder to land. we had to land it on a runway. i think it stays well offshore. you said '45, but you meant we have seen an easterly track for the last two runs from the 1975. >> i did. national hurricane center. >> we got a lot of water.
1:14 pm
it goes into south and north just land somewhere where you're not going to hit a boat. carolina. we're forecasting a potential landfall across wilmington. if you land, it can't sink. we'll be watching that into late monday into tuesday morning. then the storm system goes back you have to be careful. out the shore. they have done great job. we'll watch it race up to eventually, spacex will figure portions of the northeast. out how to land this on the the biggest threat is right now land. for a first test, this was a very reliable, safe, good way to the storm sunrge, the beach erosion we'll continue to see. do it. the crew is fine, the vehicle is fine, everything is recovered. look at rainfall totals. we are talking about two to three inches. i'm forecasting, we could have we could still land on schedule some spots across the carolina and even closer to houston. it's a good way to do thing. beaches even into virginia up to i'm really happy for the result. >> we just got a wave from 7 inches. astronaut doug. doug and bob will be looking >> thank you so much. forward the seeing their vrjts it's expected to be the families and reuniting with biggest development of the 2020 race since joe biden became the them. democratic nominee. we're digging into his v.p. contenders and significance of choosing a woman. contenders and signifinccae of
1:15 pm
peggy said one time she craved a choosing a woman this is my body of proof. steak and another time a pizza. proof i can fight moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. what were some of your proof i can fight psoriatic arthritis... priorities when you came down? ...with humira. >> my third flight i flew in the proof of less joint pain... russian capsule. we landed in theside, js had t ...and clearer skin in psa. humira targets and blocks a source of inflammation that contributes to joint pain and irreversible damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections. serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. 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. humira is proven to help stop further joint damage. want more proof? ask your rheumatologist about humira citrate-free. if you can't afford your medicine, abbvie may be able to help.

1:19 pm
welcome back. we're getting closer the joe biden's big announcement. he's expected to announce who will be his running mate many next two weeks. political analysts says his best bet is hammering home the these c's. competence, character and compassion. with me is msnbc kor spon dwhoents h -- kcorrespondent who has been following. the potential candidates are really getting the drill down. a lot of people looking a lot closer. >> reporter: that's right. my understanding from those closest to the process on the biden campaign is that former vice president really wanted to use this weekend to potentially narrow that short list even smaller to a potential finalist group of three to four individuals. then he was going to hope to have chance to speak to them this person or virtually having that personal chemistry is so
1:20 pm
important to biden. he served for eight years as vice president. he knows what that relationship is like with the president and he wants the same relationship with whomever he might choose and be elected and sworn in with. what's interesting because biden has been through the process, h e knows how difficult it can be. we got a sense of that from karen bass today. she spoke about why she decided to go through that process. let's take a listen. >> to me, being a partner with somebody who i have deep respect for and somebody who i believe is authentic, genuine, has the capacity to have empathy, has tremendous experience and working alongside of him, aside from being considered is a tremendous honor but all of that is the reason why i would want to go forward with this. >> reporter: her stock rising very quickly in this search process. what happened? we started to see aspects of her
1:21 pm
own record being picked apart. whether her past comments about cuba and her travels to cuba. she gave glowing remarks about the church of scientology. a process that can be brutal for those going through it as everything about their history is being picked apart. >> thank you so much for that update on the choice of his running mate. joe biden said he would choose a woman and while we have seen a woman vice presidential nominee before. in 2016, a woman nearly became president of the united states. biden could make history if he choose a woman of color. this week senator camera harris and karen bass have been rumored to be at the top of the short list. let's take a listen to more. >> i led at a time when we went through the worst economic crisis since the great depression. i led in a very bipartisan manner. i worked with governor
1:22 pm
schwarzenegger and worked well with my republican colleagues. my background in health care, i've been in the emergency room. i've been in life and death situations. my experience in foreign policy and over the years what i'm the most proud of is my ability to bring people together. laurie, start us off. what you hearing-impaired from reporting from mike, what does it tell you the vice president is thinking? >> i don't envy the vice president's position now. he has a list of fantastic women that he could choose from. unfortunately, it comes down to mostly when you're a woman, versus when you're male that every single thing about your record, every single thing about your history, your background is scrutinized down to who you have associated yourself with, served on a board with or where you
1:23 pm
have worked or who you have possibly served on your kids girl scouts squad or something like that. people associate and make assumptions with things like that. when you get to this level, things are going to start to come out in folks backgrounds. these women have tight records. they are starting to come out in the press when we're getting some leaks information of who we're probably not going to see. if i was in a strategic position here, my home state here in florida brings 2 electoral college votes to the table. something like val demings who do not have maybe some of these skeletons in her closet like the other potential dandss have. yes, she was 27 years as a record as a police officer and four years as a police chief but if we look at the state of florida, in general, especially the i-four corridor which used
1:24 pm
to be an old an white area is now extremely young and the sec most diverse in the entire state of florida. i think looking from a strategic standpoint, i think somebody from florida would be right on the money. >> do you agree? je i don't geography is important. there's also amy klobuchar. the vice president said he would like to consider a woman of color. >> let me first just say, while the vice president said he was planning to make a decision this week, that doesn't mean he's planning to announce that to the roast rest of us this week. i think we're all in headquarter ri up and wait mode. what we're seeing is a growing chorus for a woman of color. something that would be a historic pick. you never had a woman vice president before. you had two women being nominated for the vice
1:25 pm
presidency. there's never been woman of color. this is also an opportunity in 2020 to make history and that is something that is seen as more than symbolic for a will the of the black women i hear from who are concerned about the tone and tenor this has taken. what is politics about if not ambition. those kind of conversations have no place in this cycle anymore after a conversation about electabilities. >> how about tammy duckworth, the senator there from illinois. >> tammy duckworth is also somebody who is qualified and has been at various points in the conversation but keeping it on the qualifications as opposed to talking about somebody's like ability is what we need focus on now. this is a very out size decision in an already consequential
1:26 pm
election cycle and the most important decision that joe biden has made in his political career. this is manager i get into a story i have up now talking about why this matters especially in 2020. it's going be a momentous decision. there's an intense focus on who he is going to pick to be his potential running mate. >> for them, they may enjoy it. they probably don't enjoy it on certain days as well. thank you so much. coming up, about 40% of households still have not participated in the census. efforts to get them counted are ending early. we're looking into what's behind that change. e looking into whatd that change. and get way more. so you can bring your vision to life and save in more ways than one.

the economic collapse because of the pandemic continues to add yet more waves. an estimated 5.4 million americans lost their health insurance between february and may after they lost their jobs. in north carolina a study shows one out of five people are uninsured with many unable to afford coverage. with nearly half of the covid 1 cases in north carolina affecting the state's hispanic pop y population, there's concerns many of them are not getting the level of care they need. let's turn to nbc news reporter in downtown winston salem. what more with you tell us about it? >> reporter: the situation is tough and creating hardships for
1:31 pm
so many here in this state. as you said, it's estimated that about one in five adults are uninsured in this state. north carolina is isn't alone. it's situation playing out across the country. the problem is some experts tell me some people can't afford new coverage or might be unaware they are eligible for medicaid in some of these other states. another big worry that i want to bring in, state leaders addressed concerns immigrants in state are not being treated at the same level of care at some of these hospitals because they are uninsured. i want to play for you what officials said at a briefing in response to some of these concerns. >> hospital systems are already, by law, required to treat anyone who walks through their doors. they cannot be asking about either insurance status or immigration status in order to treat someone who is right in front of them. that should not be happening in
1:32 pm
any hospitals. >> reporter: officials said the state is offering more free testing events. really trying to correct some of these access issues that these marginalized groups are facing. richard. >> all right. thank you so much. north carolina is a swing state in this year's presidential election. we will be watching quite closely right here. we have the latest poll puts joe biden up by 4 percentage points, 48-44. it's just outside of the margin of error on that poll. that just out. up next, do not expect census counters to pay you a visit any time soon. what's behind mounting pressure to finish the count. unt. >> tech: at safelite, we're committed to taking care of you

1:37 pm
administration wants to end door knocking efforts for the 2020 census early. they will have to stop in-person interviews at the end of september and not the end of october as was planned. by cutting the crucial time period it raises the risk of a possible undercount which can create serious consequences for future elections and resource allocation. joining me now to discuss is a national correspondent for npr and broke the story. what did you find in your investigation? >> three census bureau employees did not want to be identified confirmed for me door knocking has been cut short by a month. what was expected to end on october 31st is now going to end on september 30th meaning roughly three months of door knocking is now shortened to two months and there are major concerns that it will be
1:38 pm
impossible to finish the count and this employee has major concerns about a massive under count. >> technical term, who can make the decision, what appears to be in a willie-nilly fashion? >> this is a very complicated process. the census bureau said it is evaluatings it procedures and scheduling and hasn't officially made an announcement saying why. but this is in parts it perview to decide how it does this but you have multiple census career officials saying that as early as may that it is past the point of meeting legal deadlines. there is a legal deadline at the end of the year. the secretary presented to the president the latest state population counts to the president. but that the census bureau asks
1:39 pm
for extension to extend the deadline 120 days. congress hasn't extended the deadline. what is interesting at the white house the president supported it back in april saying it wouldn't be enough. now the white house is silent on this. >> to change the deadline by a month, is that something that congress needs to approve? >> congress needs to approve, in order for the bureau to continue counting through door knocking, congress needs a later deadline. >> got it. >> and there is a chance through the relief package negotiations that the proposal may come up. so far only democrats have legislation extending the reporting deadline. >> you are also saying 4 of 10 households across the country so far have participated in the census. with 6 of 10 yet to go, i guess you are saying there is a question if we have enough
1:40 pm
runway. >> 6 of 10 have participated. 4 of 10 have not. the big concern is that 4 of 10 are representative of communities of color, renters, undercounted groups. >> 4 of 10 have not yet participated. is that correct? le how long they will collect responses online, over the phone and by mail. they have been changing the dates on the website. >> to the 4 of 10, why should they do the census. what do they get out of it? >> well, there are big implications. it is conducted once per year and the numbers determine how many seats in congress each state gets and electoral college votes they get.
1:41 pm
it talks about providing the government with personal information even though there are federal laws that protected them. a lot of folks are concerned and worried that the trump administration will uphold the laws. >> did you do your census vote? >> i have done my census. >> okay. me too. thank you so much my friend. >> you are welcome, richard. >> that wraps it up for me tonight. the reverend, al sharpton joins us at the top of the hour next on politics nation. e top of thet on politics nation my bladder leak pad?
