cnn's kristin fisher is back with us. she's at the johnson space center in houston, were joined by two former nasa astronaut, garrett reisman and katie coleman and eric burger is also here. he is the senior space editor at rs technically, i'm so glad you're all here. for at this moment, kristen this is another big moment in the re-entry. what are we looking for now so right now, the starliner capsule is re-entering the earth's atmosphere and hitting the highest temperatures that it is going to experience on re-entry temperatures of about 3,000 degrees fahrenheit in a few minutes, we're going to see a communications blackout between the ground and starliner for about four minutes due to all the plasma really hot plasma that builds up due to friction from the earth's atmosphere on re-entry. >> so this is without a doubt, a very a critical moment for starliner. it's the moment that the capsule's heat shield is finally put to the test. but you know, laura, the other really big test that nasa in particular was so concerned abo

kristin fisher always helping us on these stories. thank you very, very much.e back in a moment. >> this was the highest rated oprah winfrey show of all time. >> we're still talking about it open the door to have discussions about weight in a way that we had not before tv on the edge, moments that shaped our culture tomorrow at nine on cnn to avoid digital threats, just turn on nord vpn your protection against strikers, malicious websites and malware and downloads get the deal now new iphone 16 pro, brazen apple intelligence is print drc's. >> you can get it when you trade in any phone. >> what existing customers can get iphone 16 in pro on us. when you trade in any phone in any condition only on verizon, which i'll get to decide when i get back is kind of crazy. >> we can't choose where we get paid, can change there for me my pay less me get up to $500 of marape when i needed there's no interests, no credit checks, no mandatory fees. my pay gives me the freedom to handle anything they're like brings i have begum's and i'm not waiting for payday anymore. and yo

we don't have an explanation for the delay at this point, but we do want to bring in kristin fisher, cnn, space and defense correspondent, kristin, good morning. wonderful to have you back so walk us through what we're going to see here because there are, there's a lot of ground about we'll be broken. there is i can't stress this enough because we've gotten so used to seeing nasa astronauts, government astronauts doing spacewalks at the international space station for quite some time now, this is the first time that regular civilians have ever attempted a spacewalk, and they're gonna be using a space suit that's never been worn in space before, designed by a private company it's the first time that any private company has ever tried to attempt something like this. and a spacewalk is truly like one of the riskiest things that you can do in space. i mean, forget about launch and landing. that's of course risky. but once you're in orbit, this is risky and it's tricky as it gets so what we're going to see is in just a about under the 25 minutes, we're going to see the hatch on the dragon

this is kristin fisher and we're actually live on cnn right now. so i might ask a question that has already been asked before, but slightly differently. so bear with me, which incendie thank you so much for doing this and i know you both have done long-duration missions before you've trained for every contingency but nasa astronaut frank rubio, who was in a similar situation as the two of you. he said that he still had a few hard days as he kind of wrapped his head around going from a six month mission to a 12 month mission. i'm just curious how that transition has been for the two of you. >> mentally when you learned that you'd be going from a days-long mission to an eight month mission. thank you like i said earlier, there's one thing that i try not to fred over maybe frets the right word things that i can't control. >> i'm not going to i'm not going to fret over it. i mean, there's no benefit to it at all. so my transition was maybe it wasn't instantaneous, but it was pretty close if i can affect it, if there's nothing we can do, there's nothing

i'm kristin fisher, cnn cnn aerospace analyst miles o'brien says starliner made a good landing, but with one caveat, here is a textbook landing. >> one detailed know passengers aboard, which of course, blemishes that good landing by quite a bit so you could say all's well, that ends well, but that would not be right in this case because now begins a very thorough investigation as to what went wrong with this spacecraft. months ago, as it approached the international space station. several of those thrusters, which seemed to work okay. tonight failed and those answers are still open this small's the first starliner mission to carry astronauts. >> nasa plans to ship the spacecraft to the kennedy space center in florida for inspection you ask voters will go to the polls on november 5 without knowing what republican nominee donald trump's punishment will be in his hush money case. that's because the judge has delayed sentencing until november 26. well, after the election judge juan marchan wrote in a letter that part of his reason for the delay was to avoid any appearance of affecting the ou

kristin fisher, cnn, washington a while, severely entangled in fishing lines, is now swimming free. >f canada's pacific coast, it took a team from fisheries and oceans, canada for days to cut more than 50 ropes, tackle and floats that had ensnared the humpback. most of the lines were wrapped around its body. they say the whale likely accumulated the fishing gear over several months thank god that beautiful animal is now free i'm anna coren live in hong kong. thank you for your company, kim brunhuber picks up, but coverage right after this short break, stay with us sunday on the whole story. >> how does a bernie bro become a pro-trump, pro-putin social media superstar, maga communist, you know, people watching cnn are going to say crazy the whole story with anderson cooper sunday at 8:00 on cnn you know what's brilliant, boring think about it. >> boring is the unsung catalyst what straps bold, who are rocket and hurdles and into space? or boring makes vacations happened, early retirements possible, and startups start off because it's smart dependable, and steady all words you want from

and cnn's kristin fisher has the latest on this major feat by polaris dawn well, boris, up until a few hours ago, the only people that had ever done spacewalks were professional government astronauts that had the backing of big, powerful countries like the united states, russia, and china, that all changed a few hours ago with the world's first commercial spacewalk, meaning you spacecraft into space suit that was designed and manufactured and operated by a private company, spacex. >> and then conducted by civilian astronauts and the reason this is so significant is because the private sector can typically do things a lot faster and far cheaper than big governments can. and so this is all part of a trend that have, we've been seeing for a few years now towards the democratization of space. and so what we saw spacex doing today and the proof of polaris dawn was venturing out into the vacuum of space and testing out these brand new space suits from spacex and so you saw them sort of moving slowly. and what they were doing was doing mobility tests inside these spacesuits. they were testing

. >> made capsule to land on the ground rather than splashing down in the ocean cnn's kristin fisher has more on what comes next for nasa and the starliner crew boeing breathing a sigh of relief. >> this morning after starliner successfully landed in white sands, new mexico, shortly after midnight, and all of the issues that starliner suffered while in space the thruster failures, the helium leaks, did not prove to be a problem when it did the de-orbit burn pump, the brakes, and re-entered the earth's atmosphere. those were the critical maneuvers that nasa was so worried about. if butch and suni williams, which will more in suni williams starliner's crew, had been on board. and so now boeing and nasa are going to be looking at all the data nasa needs to decide if it's going to require boeing to conduct another crewed flight tests before it's fully certified to ferry nasa astronauts too. from the international space station. as for butch and sunny they're going to be up there until february of 2025 before they hitch a ride back on a spacex crew dragon capsule that's essentially the ba

those eagerly watching from here on earth with us now is cnn space and defense correspondent kristin fisher. >> and cnn aerospace analyst miles o'brien. thank you both for being with us. kristen, nasa has been doing spacewalks for well 60 years, but this was obviously different and a giant leap, you could say, yeah, and that's what the nasa administrator bill nelson was saying when he congratulated spacex for what it was able to pull off because the up until just a few hours ago, the only people that had done spacewalks were professional government astronauts. it had the backing of big, powerful countries like the united states, china, and russia this was a spacecraft and a brand new spacesuit designed and manufactured by a private space company, spacex. and the people going out into the vacuum some of space were private astronauts your everyday citizens granted they'd trained quite a bit and the reason that's so significant is because the private sector is typically we will able to do things faster. and for a lot less money, just take these spacesuits. nasa has been trying to get new space

kristin fisher, cnn, washington us federal mediators say boeing will resume negotiations with its union members early next week as the troubled aircraft manufacturer deals with its first strike in 16 years, the white house says the administration john is in touch with both sides, about 33,000 workers walked off the job on friday after rejecting a proposed four-year contract. >> union leaders had described the deal is the best it's ever negotiated with boeing, but 95% of members voted against it. >> recognize whose building these planes out here on the floor and the quality that we put into our work every day to make sure that passengers and crew members that fly our airplanes are safe, we definitely need more wage increase. that's for sure more time off would be nice and if they bring back the pension, that would be really not i believe we deserve way better because without us there is no bowing boeing's cfo called the results disappointing, adding that strike will impact production, operations and deliveries of planes us stock indexes have a strong week week, the dow s&p and nasdaq all

what the computer stuff on it as, well, which is very technical kristin fisher. thank you very much. coming up. a face off in philly in just a few hours from now. now, donald trump more than a few hours, but it's coming through. donald trump and kamala harris will trade verbal jabs inside the national constitution center. what's going into the final preps that's meant kamala harris, donald trump everyone's been waiting for, for follow cnn for complete coverage and exclusive pre and post-debate analysis. >> a cnn special event, the abc news presidential debate. tonight. in an eastern on cnn and streaming on max with decks calm g7, managing your diabetes just got easier. so what's your glucose number right now? >> good thing. you don't need to fingerstick house all about food affect your glucose. >> oh, the answer's on your phone. what if you're heading low at night? >> wow, it cannot learn. you can even track, your goals. >> manager diabetes with confidence, with desk calm g7, the most accurate cgm. >> learn more at decks com.com, i just found out i've been paying

victor amara kristin fisher. >> thanks so much joining us now is the ceo and founder of janet's planet. >> janet ivey wearing a snazzy blouse that's what we call snazzy with the planets all over jake. good morning to you. let's start where kristen left off this decision not to put williams and wilmore barr on this capsule return, you still think that's the right call considering the questions about, about safety i do because when we think about what is the greatest resource in human spaceflight, it's humans and i think no one wants to repeat in apollo one or the challenger disaster, columbia disaster. and you simply don't know. i mean you know, they're amazing engineers on the ground i'm trying to figure out what was going on it's possible that on the way to the international space station in june, there was a glitch between kind of like the software that was kind of like keeping those thrusters and kind of like a continuous firing mode, never letting them truly cool down. that's why the teflon extruded. so they didn't know oh, with that teflon extrusion with it somehow hinder the flig

cnn's kristin fisher has much more on all of this tracking it all. there's a lot of firsts with this mission, kristen so many firsts, kate, i mean, the biggest one is the one that you just mentioned. the world's first commercial spacewalk. but this is also going to be the first time that spacex is brand new spacesuit has ever been tested and warn in the vacuum of space. remember this is something that nasa has been trying to develop a new spacesuit for over two decades. spacex was able to do it in about 2.5 years. now, it is finally about to be put to the test and then one more first, kate, this is the first time since the apollo program that any people are going to be traveling through the radiation belt that period piece of space where it's really just a concentration of hi, highly charged particles and radiation, a place that you need to go in order to, you have to go through it in order to get to tomorrow. so that's why it's so important, kate and as for what they're doing right now, well, they just launched their in space, but already they are b

but two votes will be cast some 200 miles above earth, cnn, space and defense correspondent kristin fisher explains why i don't think they plan to vote from space this time, kristen? >> they didn't john, but there's actually a precedent they call it vote while you float and you know, nasa, they love backup plans, contingency plans. and so there was actually a plan already in place in case a situation like this happened. and back in 1997 the texas legislature passed a law allowing nasa astronauts to vote. if they're floating in space. and so later that year, the first nasa astronaut became the first person to vote from space. and now butch wilmore and suni williams, the crew of boeing's troubled starliner spacecraft i'm going to follow in that astronauts footsteps. listen to what they said at their big press conference last week from the international space station i sent down my request for a ballot today. >> as a matter of fact, and they should get it to us in a couple of weeks and absolutely, yes, it's very important roll that we all play a citizens is to be included in those elections.

kristin fisher in washington. good to have you. thank you so much. and now for more on this, i want to go to sarah treadwell, who's at nasa solar system ambassador, joining us from rockford, illinois. thank you so much for being here with us at this hour you know, probably just as disappointed as we are that this hasn't happened yet. can you shed anymore light on what? might have caused this delay know, i think your reporter that just spoke with really kind of hit it on the head. >> who really knows what they're delay is being caused by and truthfully, that's sort the way that spacex operate. so we're kind of used to that surprise element well, listen, let's i want to hear more about how this is actually going to happen. >> so the crew won't just be kind of floating around out there were talk to us about the skywalker handrails and also the umbilical cord. this little literally life-giving mechanism that we're going to see as they do that spacewalk. >> yeah, those skywalker, which i think is a really cool name is going to be able to keep them a littl

so they're up there until february 2025 sure amara. >> kristin fisher, thanks so much. so the countdown is on for next week's first presidential debate between kamala harris and donald trump. how the candidates are preparing this weekend. >> and the nfl made a pretty good first impression. carolyn it did. amara, south america loves its football, just the kind that you play with your feet. but last night they got a taste of cheese said and cheese steaks as the eagles and packers injured selves as american football stars back with that story in just a little bit its pods biggest sale of the summer, safe up to 25% on moving in storage for a limited time cy pods has been trusted with over 6 million moves, but don't wait, use promo code, big 25 to save visit hot.com today when they saw dust settles and the engine roars, the thing you care about is a job well done well, when you get your tools from harbor freight something about the job feels different. your wallet, whatever you do, do it for less at harbor freight the tempur-pedic breeze make sleep, fuel cool. so no more swe

during the spacewalk we go live now to washington and cnn's space and defense correspondent, kristin fisher. so kristen, it was supposed to be actually happening right now at this hour. so why the delay? >> we don't know kim, but this is a very risky sort of never been done before thing for spacex and for these astronauts on board. and so we just don't know what the exact reason is yet. it could be a variety of things i don't have confirmation that it's any one of these, but just to give you a range of the reasons for the delay, it could be anything from, the astronauts getting sick after getting space adaptation syndrome. it's a nasty little thing that many astronauts get, especially when you fly to space for the first time and a lot of astronauts throw up and you can't throw up when you're about to put but on an enclosed space suit and go out into the vacuum of space. so could be something like that, could be something like this spacecraft has to depressurize, it has to do what's conducted, what's called a pre-breathe and it's something that the spacecraft has been doing for about two day

cnn's kristin fisher is following all of the latest developments, kristen, i mean first off, the fact that this is empty and coming back is notable in and of itself, but they're boeing said it was safe for the crew to come back on this. why did nasa disagree? >> nasa says kaylin that there were simply too much uncertainty, like how much risk is acceptable when you've got two nasa astronauts lives on the line and there was just so much uncertainty and risk frankly surrounding these faulty misfiring thrusters, kaitlan. and so the nasa administrator, bill nelson said when they announced this big decision, he said, you know, hey, nasa has made mistakes in the past with the space shuttle challenger accident, with the space shuttle columbia accident, he said quite frankly that those accidents were front of mind when they were making this decision and they just said that this level of risk was simply not a level of risks that nasa was willing to take. and so now those two astronauts, butch wilmore and sunny williams, you know, kaitlan, they had been training in this life-size mock-up of the

now, they're going to be spending about eight months up there all alright. >> kristin fisher, we're going to check back with you in about an hour or so. don't go anywhere. we're going to start getting those live images from nasa soon. so keep it here on the lead and on cnn for coverage also ahead of big headline late today, from former congresswoman liz cheney, after saying this week, she would be voting for kamala harris. now the former congresswoman says her father to turn vice president dick cheney, a stalwart republican is also going to be voting for kamala harris expand. she's making another announcement. we're going to get reaction ahead. stay with us cnn special event the abc news presidential debate tuesday at nine on cnn, liberty mutual customizes my car insurance. >> so i saved hundreds, but the money i say not to get a wax figure myself oh, right in the temporal lobe, baited pumps only pay for what you need you're shipping manager left to find themselves leaving. >> you lost unique to hire. >> i need indeed indeed you do. indeed instead match instantly delivers quality candidat

down to the starliner's undocking just moments from now is cnn space and defense correspondent kristin fisher is over at the johnson space center in houston. kristen first walk us through what's about to happen. >> well in just about three minutes, wolf, we should see boeing starliner spacecraft undock or detach from the international space station and it will be doing that, of course, without its crew, which willmore and sunny williams will be staying on board. the international space station. and so what you're seeing on the right-hand side of your screen that is starliner. you'll see it slowly start to back away from the space station. but to give you a sense of the actual size, how big it is, i'm actually standing in front of the port, the harmony modules port of the international space station, where start our liner is going to be undocking from and so you can see that's how big it is. that's what starliner's attached to. now, it's going to undock and the issue with it, wolf has been these thrusters, these thrusters misfiring and those thrusters are the same thrusters that are needed to

cnn space and defense correspondent, kristin fisher sat down with the crew before they took off. they explained what the mission means to them and why it's so important they sex is polaris dawn mission funded in part by billionaire businessman and philanthropist jared issacman, who first flew to space three years ago as commander of spacex's inspiration for the first all civilian mission to orbit. >> jared. some people are going to see the headlines and say, oh, this is just another billionaire going on a joy ride to space. >> but what you are doing is actually quite different connotation is often negative, but in reality it is just people taking resources that are lucky enough to accumulate in life and try and do something positive with it for the benefit of everyone. thanks spacex has these huge objectives and to get there, there is so much that we need to go and solve polaris is all about accelerating the technology development. >> technology like the first new american made extra vehicular activity suit or eva suit in more than 40 years, nasa has been trying to get new ones f

now cnn's kristin fisher on this historic mission, they're now back inside their back inside john and this spacewalk is now complete. >> i mean spacex, the entire polaris dawn crew, they have to be incredibly happy and relieved quite frankly because the riskiest parts of their mission are now behind them. you know, it started with flying farther into space than any humans since the apollo program. flying through the radiation belt, they did that. but the riskiest part of this mission was very early this morning. as you can see there, when jared isaac men, the commander of the mission chin, and then mission specialist and spacex employee, sarah gillis, followed him shortly behind. they were outside of the dragon spacecraft for about 20 minutes. the whole eva or the whole spacewalk lasted about two hours. and john, the reason this is so significant is because it's the first time nonprofessional nongovernment astronauts have ever ventured out into the vacuum of space and done a spacewalk it's also the first time that spacex has ever designed, built manufactured these brand-new spacesuits

vertical translation we're going to serve as a horizontal bars over their verticals this together, kristin fisherin saying that we are seeing the billionaire, jared isaac men here as the first-person. the first floor and horrible commercial spacewalk gets underway tell us what we're looking at. >> yes. that is the polaris dawn mission commander jared isaac, men. and i'm sure many of you are wondering what on earth is he doing? up there? what does all of this mean what he's doing is he's taking the soup through a series of mobility checks. he's moving all of his joints and limbs and seeing how this spacecraft space suit fields and moves in the vacuum of space and that's really the whole purpose of this spacewalk. right? like this crew wants to take the lessons that are learned from this spacewalk, bring it back to the spacex engineers on the ground and say, hey, this is what work, this is what didn't work. and then spacex engineers can get to work on making those changes because someday these are the space suits that spacex wants to use. when humans first land on mars but just what a moment for th

citizens in looking forward to being able to vote from space, which is pretty cool i'll say cnn's kristin fisher joins me now, how is that actually going to happen, kristen also, dana, first, you have to make it legal to vote for space and nasa actually did that back in in 1997. nasa astronaut david wolfe became the first american to vote from space in 97. and he actually did it a board, the russian mir space station. wow, places. it's now defunct. so after they did that, multiple nasa astronauts have since voted for space. butch and sunny will be next. and now you've got they get to the technical side of things, right? like technically, how do you vote from space? well, it starts with a good old fashioned encrypted word document. butch and sunny will input there selections for who they want to be the next president of the united states they will then upload that encrypted document to the computers on the international space station. they will then take that ballot like all other electronic data from the space station, beam it to a nasa satellite, and then an antenna at nasa white sands ground t

reach another plan and other live now to washington and cnn, space and defense correspondent, kristin fisher, kristen, good to see you. why have they delayed the launch? >> oh, it all came down to the weather and you know, anna, it was only 40% favorable weather conditions at the start of this countdown. now as we get really close to the first lunchtime, they were running into some issues with potential thunderstorms around the launch pad. so that's why they've had three launch time opportunities in this launch window. so 330, about five-thirty and then right around 7:00 a.m. so two more opportunities for them to launch today. anna and this weather is just really tricky for this mission because not only does the weather have to be great at florida on launch day, but it also has to be really good five days from now for splashdown because this mission isn't going up to the international space station where it can resupply with oxygen and other consumables they have a very specific window. in terms of when this spacecraft can splash down and land in the ocean, the weather has to be right. they

cnn's kristin fisher took part in that press conference, got to ask a question live to the astronauts in space on cnn. what did they share well, it was so great to finally get to see them, right after this big decision had been made but you know, as starliner's commander and former navy test pilot himself butch wilmore said it was really tough to watch his ship go off without them. >> you know, he said you don't want to see your ship go off without you, but he also said that he stood by and really understood nasa's decision. listen, this when you have an issues like we've had, there's some changes that need to be made at boeing's on board with that, we're all on board with that. and i can tell you, when you push the edge of the envelope again and you do things thanks. was spacecraft that have never been done before, just like starliner, you're going to find some things. and in this case, we found some things that we just could not get comfortable with putting us back in the starliner when we had other options and that other option is of course, spacex's crew dragon spacecraft. but, yo

cnn space and defense correspondent kristin fisher good morning. >> victor and isabel. the first time that we've heard from nasa astronauts, butch wilmore and suni williams since nasa made the decision to send their spaceship starliner back to earth without them. the commander, butch wilmore, who is also a navy test pilot, said, you never want to see your ship go off without you, but he also said that he understood nasa is decision. >> when you have an issues like we've had, there's some changes that need to be made at boeing's on board with that, we're all on board with that. and i can tell you, when you push to the edge of the envelope again and you do things with spacecraft that have never been done before, just like starliner, you're going to find some things. and in this case, we found some things that we just could not get comfortable with putting us back in the starliner when we had other options and that option is spacex. >> a spacex crew dragon, which means that what's in sunny won't be able to come back to earth until february. during this press conference, i

starliner that they arrived on had returned to earth without them due to a series of technical issues kristin fisher has much more on this has been falling. can we now call this a saga because that's what it kind of feels like you can call it a saga. sure. but you know, nasa is even reluctant to call this a rescue mission. they say that this is now just part of their crew rotation and but whatever you want to call it, kate, the vehicle that is now going to bring butch wilmore and suni williams back to earth. >> those two test as the two crew members that were part of the boeing starliner first crewed test flight they are now going to be going home on this spacex crew dragon capsule that arrived at the international space station on saturday. and you know, kate, this is a mission that was delayed by the hurricane it managed to squeeze out a launch in-between some big thunderstorms down at the kennedy space center, but it lifted off without a problem. and now, the only big difference with that flight, kate, was the fact that there were only two astronauts on board and nasa astronaut that commander nic

cnn space and defense correspondent kristin fisher joins us now with the latest christine. good morning. wonderful to see you. >> i know we are going to do this countdown together and tell us a little bit about why this mission is unique this mission is going to be the world's first commercial spacewalk. >> so up until this point only nasa astronauts are government professional astronauts have done spacewalks and spacewalks are it's one thing to go to space. it is another thing to do a spacewalk. one of the riskiest things that any astronaut can do during a mission. and so the fact that they're conducting this spacewalk and not just wearing any old suits. this is the first time that they're ever going to be wearing these spacesuits. and that's significant because nasa has been trying to get new spacesuits for its asked tonight's for about 20 years now and do a second and nasa space suits or 20-years-old, their 40-years-old, 40-years-old there, 40-years-old, nasa, the ones that you see nasa astronauts do spacewalks and at their national space station yeah, 40-years-old altho

now cnn, space and defense correspondent kristin fisher and chris, i know there have been some questionsbout whether the sync can even push off without hitting the space station. >> yes. so the concern wasn't just about butch and sunny going back on starliner this thing, the boeing starliner spacecraft, has been attached to the international space station for several weeks now. and those thrusters, those malfunctioning thrusters that caused this whole mess, or also needed to undock from from the space station. so there was some concern that perhaps the boeing starliner could crash into the space station. but nasa official saying yesterday, they are confident that will not happen because even if those thrusters do not fire again and they malfunction again, there are springs on the docking port of the space station that can polish starliner, a safe distance away. so really, nasa feeling quite good about that. and then john, the other moment of truth for those thrusters can they fire and orient the spacecraft properly so that it re-enters the earth's atmosphere at the right direction. that'

. >> we're joined now by cnn, space and defense correspondent kristin fisher, who is live at the johnson space center in houston we also have with us former astronaut colonel chris hadfield, who served as a commander of the international space station. he's also the author of the novel, the defector, kristen, one of the very first issues could come up just as undocking begins. how is, how is nasa preparing? >> so jake here at the johnson space center just a few buildings away from where i am now they just conducted the go no-go poll and nasa decided to move forward with the undocking, which should be taking place right around 6:04 p.m. eastern time. and to give you a sense of just how big this spaceship and this port is that the spaceship is d2 i'm standing in front of the full-scale mockup of the international space station. here at the johnson space center. this is the exact place where butch and sunny and likely commander hadfield would have trained for their missions to the international space station and this right here is the harmony module. it basically serve as the bedroom for th

the first civilian spacewalker in the history of the history of space, those bring in cnn's kristin fisher for much more on this. kristen, this is so cool talk to us about what history this is. that's being made yes. >> so we just saw the missions commander, jared isaac min, test down spacex is brand-new spacesuits in the vacuum of space for the very first time. and the reason this is so important is because up until this point, there's only been nasa astronauts are government astronauts professional astronauts that have been able to do these incredibly risky but necessary maneuvers in space. you know, it's one thing to go to space. it is another thing to do a spacewalk. it is one of the most difficult things you can do. and so yes, these are civilian astronauts, but this crew has been training for two-and-a-half years for this moment. and so in addition to jared isaac, man, who's commander going out pretty soon, we're going to see the mission specialist, sarah gillis step out into the vacuum of space and the reason sara was selected for this specific mission was because she is spacex's le
