7:04 am
so i new then that something had gone wrong. >> of course they're having g what happened there. but i kind of want to know more about what was the mission? was cents it simply supplies? >> this was a supply mission. a re-supply mission for international space station. what's going on is that orbital science has contract with nasa, to provide launch capability up to low earth orbit and up to international stays station. so they have nice contract for. that will what they're doing, right in the middle of sort of proving that they have the capability of doing this on a regular basis, and doing it safely. and this is the thirds attempt of theirs to send something up the international space station, first two work just fine, this one has cents had some sort of anomaly caused the engines to fail. >> big contract, talking nearly $2 billion. >> it is. >> one company. >> yes. >> for this one company. >> it is a big contract, you're right. but in the longrun, will save nasa monday if i this kind of work can be done by companies other than nasa. because think about it, this is really just like delivering supplies, snot like doing
7:05 am
anything complex in the space mission, although rocket launching is always complex. so almost like it is a delivery system, like some companies i won't name that have brown trucks, and other things like that, but it is like delivering packages. and so, this is something that nasa can out source that will make it less expense disbelief there are other private companies do this. they launch off of southern california. >> two hours ago the russians sent up, going up to the space station, their lunch successful, about two hours ago. >> right. but everybody who is in this business, every country, every company in this business, has had a launch, has had at least one launch fail. >> oh, yes. >> this is complicated stuff. these engines are working at the extremes of temperatures and pressure, and if there is a failure, it is hard for it to be a minor failure. you know? because you have high temperature, low temperature, high pressure, all sorts of things going on. and so if something fails, it is probably -- >> more liken gin fail. we went up and it fell back
7:06 am
down. >> you mentioned the engines. a loft people are talking about how old these engines, are actually refurbished from the so far yet era. >> yes, two engine systems in this rocket. there is the main booster engine, and you have to remember that these technologies that are being used for liquid fuel rockets are very much the same technology, from the 19 60s, right to up now. except some companies are using newer designed engines. >> need to go newer? >> sounds like it. >> means they really need to look very carefully at these engines to see what could have went wrong. they do test the engines before they put them on the rock totes use them. the test firings all went fine. >> zero like 17,000 miles an hour as fast as they can here. but, also, word last night, there was classified information on the missile. >> you never can really be sure what is on any launch. because you can't see the full manifest of everything that's on the launch. so, yes, there is some classified material on this. there is cents also some regular supplies, just for keeping house, and there are also science experiments. >> but won't run out of tang

7:12 am
storm pounds the the east coast, recovery efforts are still underway, in some jersey shore towns. >> we're in longport, probably the only place along the coast where it is good news still two years later because the southern end of the jersey shore line is really the high end of the recovery picture, two years to the day. as nice cents as things look here in longport, still looks like a disaster in so many other places cents north of here and specially north of brigantine where the storm hit directly. as we watch the waves here, sends the sea mist into the brand new blacktop street, we all remember how hard this wall was wacked by those hurricane winds, and waves, enough to toss these big boulder into the street, and break up this sea wall, kicking these rocks like a kid kicking a small stone down the street. and while the memories mostly brink back these images of the see seaside amusement ride in the ocean, roll he is coaster,
7:13 am
boardwalks, all row placed by then, but not the homes and neighborhood north of beach haven where the hurricane hit and the harder whip around hurricane wind devestated ocean, monmouth county towns, up there, two years still seems like just only the start of a too long wait to rebuild, recover, and while they don't have to rewind the images on video, because they still see an unliveable house today, or just an empty lot still today two years later. al innings, mike, it was called a catastrophy two years ago. it is being called a colossal frustrating wait still two years later today for so many people. >> steve, is that house on the corner the one you walked through that was completely damage in the. >> yes, marvin asher, mentioned him, we became part of documentary. man behind the camera, jared, was cents with me that day. and we had no idea that marvin road out the storm. but a police officer french mine here in longport said
7:14 am
marvin's in there somewhere, we think, we just haven't been able to get to him yet. so i was on his first floor in his devastated living room. he came down. node idea how bad his house looked. that was his first view of it. because we woke him up. and the sun finally came up. he and i saw it for the first time ourselves. imagine him staying through that storm. the amazing thing on the other side every his house, amy mentioned this in her article sunday, the blues brothers statues still standing today like they were after the hurricane. so, some things just don't bobbing, in jake and elwood blues, his statues, still there today. still reminder for so many here in longport, that he road out the storm and survived it, and smiling and happy today. >> that image is still in my head of you walking through that house, see if we can fine the footage from two years ago, compared to today, so much better today, my goodness. thanks a lot. 7:14. i know we talk about this ebola situation and all of the states around it. but did you know over 100

7:16 am
helped this patient here, who later died. she caught the virus while caring for thomas duncan, who died of course in dallas. >> all right, well, good to see they were cured, though. positive signs. >> apparently they can never get ebola again, certain strains, immunity for them. tough price to pay. here's glue mike, al, just talking about sandy. don't be alarmed by the radar picture from two years ago today. it is the radar picture of sandy just slamming into new jersey. but one thing i had forgotten, and perhaps you did, too, all the snow that fell in west virginia, asomugha result of the same storm. you can see that on the radar, as well. but what you can't see is the wind and the storm surge, that caused all of that destruction, as is that super storm warmed in, two years ago, today. now, let's get back to today. radar, in comparison, pretty tranquil. although there are some showers out toward harrisburg, some of our pocono counties, as well. and we can't rule out stray shower for today either. as is this cold front, makes its way through, meaning, we
7:17 am
