buzz aldrin took the first steps on the moon in 1969, july. all of those astronauts, plus every other one who walked on the moon, every other one who traveled to the moon, all trained here in flagstaff. and they learned geology they tested instruments. they they also about reading maps. and that was something that was important and done here at the observatory with this telescope. so the mapping was the critical thing. the law was involved with with preparing to go to the moon but then low in this telescope were also involved in another way. in 1962, the second group of astronauts were named, you know the mercury seven that had been named they they flew up and did the mercury flights just showing that we could get up into space. alan shepardthe first american in space, rode for 15 minutes, came back. so in 1962, the second group came along and when they came on, jean shoemaker here in flagstaff, who had brought the branch of astro geology here specifically to prepare for the moon missions, he talked to nasa and he and some other scientists and

man: ...armstrong, collins, and aldrin... man: we have a liftoff, on apollo 11.k: you know, i think that inspiration is hard to quantify, but has such a huge impact, so that's what you did, sir, and that's what we hope we can continue to do uh, to get the next generation going and to really get this whole space exploration thing moving for good. you certainly are doing it, jack, uh, big time, and a lot better than we ever did. thank you for your work up there.

buzz aldrin: beautiful view. neil: isn't that something! magnificent sight out here.ation. michael: in 1969, pam melroy was one of the millions of kids who watched the moon landing. pamela: and at that moment i decided i wanted to be an astronaut. pamela: discovery's commander, pam melroy. michael: her ambition took her all the way to the top of the nasa space program. pamela: i flew in space three times including my last flight where i commanded a shuttle mission to the international space station. pamela: houston discovery, i've a big loop for both control teams. pamela: the overall feeling is how gorgeous the earth is and it's dynamic. it's rolling by underneath you. you get a sunrise or a sunset every 45 minutes and you just can't believe you go completely around everything--everything that we know, every piece of music, every person you could meet, you go completely around it in 90 minutes. michael: for more than 50 years, the rush to the stars has been limited to nations with vast resources. until now. male: the cost is really plummeting because private companie

we have hamish harding 58 years old on the blue origin and arctica with buzz aldrin.e is a billionaire you have paul call who is a french diver they call him mr. titanic. you have the father and son from pakistan with his 19 -year-olds and also the ceo of oceangate expectations stockton rush. brian: a friend said i asked for a refund they were cutting too many corners. a friend of mine said he pulled out joining the billionaire due to safety concerns. he paid the deposit but then changed his mind after the quality of the technology used in the vessel. that has to be a bigger story how could someone pay this much money and they are cutting corners? he said at some point he said i think i can do this just as safely by breaking the rules. his greatest concern is obstacles from the sun to get to the service. said if there is an overhang don't go under it if there is a net don't go near it. >> other said that when they went to tour at the materials inside the son of you could get from best buy. earlier today we talked to one of the friends and this is what she had to say.

many twitter users are pointing this out, if you have a debate with buzz aldrin and a guy who thinks the moon is made of cheese, how do you even have a debate? there is nothing -- >> right. >> there's nothing to debate. that's why this doctor is, like, no, i'm not going to come on and debate this. >> did he lose his check? >> yeah, almost the opposite. >> sometimes he's given people checks just to make them mad. we'll see. thanks, scott. >>> new this morning, a bay area scientist has invented an artificial kidney that someday might work in humans. as you can see in this video, the implantable device is the size of a smartphone and made of silicone wafers that are used in semiconductors. the device, which has been implanted in pigs, has been successful in mimicking the key functions of a kidney transplant by producing europe and removing waste and toxins from the blood. the doctor from ucsf who developed the artificial kidney says depending on the funding it could be a number of years before one is available for humans, but a device like this could save thousands of lives. right now t

fool, after a while, people won't know which -- >> we were talking earlier, it would be like buzz aldrin, who's walked on the moon, debating someone saying the moon is made of cheese. you can't have a debate on something like that. yeah. >> all right. thanks, scott. >> all right. >>> new this morning, 6:18 now, a bay area scientist has invented an artificial kidney that someday might work in humans. as you can see in the video, the implantable device is the size of a smartphone and made of silicone wafers used in semiconductors. the device, which has been implanted in pigs, has been successful in mimicking the key functions of a kidney transplant by producing urine and removing waste and toxins from the blood. dr. roy from ucsf who developed the artificial kidney says depending on the funding it could be a number of years before one is available for humans, but a device like this could save thousands of lives. right now there are more than 3 million people worldwide who haven't received a live kidney transplant and must rely on dialysis to survive. >> i feel very confident that as we get

i know he went to the south pole with one of my friends, edward buzz aldrin. so, he's been in extreme situations before. and there were problems that happened on that expedition as well. so, he would have the calm, and i would have full confidence that he's a good player to have on board. stockton as well, experienced explorer as well. would also hopefully keep the calm. but having said that, one thing is the oxygen side of things. and there's also the co2 that's being breathed, that people are breathing out. there comes a point there will be too much co2 and too little oxygen. so, it is effectively a race against time and something close to -- i wouldn't say miracle or something would have to happen soon because we are running a tight rope here. ideally the submersible will start to come up by itself. >> so, unless that vehicle can somehow surface on its own, i mean, that is where -- that's where the hope really still lies. i mean, that is obviously the best-case scenario, for the vehicle to be able to surface on its even though it has not been able to do tha

speed records, took an expedition to antarctica with buzz aldrin and five trips into space. amazing adventurer. >> it's captain cook, neil shepherd, explorers, i just know the depth that he said they might be at when they lost contact, that's the height that i sky dove at. that's -- >> wow, wow. >> exactly. >> thank you for watching. "america reports" now. >> sandra: begin with breaking news in the search for the missing submersible. the u.s. coast guard says a remotely operated vehicle has discovered a debris field in the area where the crews are right now looking for that sub. we are learning a whole lot more here as the hours go on. hello, welcome everyone, i'm sandra smith in new york. hi. >> john: start the day off with a lot of uncertainty, and this is "america reports." we expect to learn much more from the coast guard at a briefing set for 3:00 eastern time. meanwhile, we are learning that canada is stepping up its rescue efforts sending in a ship, the hmcs glace bay, equipped with a hyperbaric recompression, and we will be joined in just moments. >> sandra: molly li

as you mentioned, a 58-year-old british billionaire, he visited the south pole with astronaut buzz aldrin. he holds three guinness world records, including one more more than a four-hour dive in the deepest part of the mariana trench. so he's familiar with this deep sea diving or he was. he was also on blue origin last year, that sub orbital flight founded by jeff bezos. p.h. nargeolet was a 77-year-old former commander of the french navy. he is also a deep sea search expert who has completed at least 35 dives to the wreck of the titanic. he's considered one of the foremost experts on the titanic. he also is the director of underwater research at rms titanic which has the exclusive rights to salvage artifacts from the wreck. nargeolet was also part of the effort to find air france flight 447. which went down over the atlantic ocean. you're talking about a moment ago, shahzada dawood, the father, he was 48 years old, a pakistani british businessman and philanthropist. his daughter said that he was obsessed with the titanic and took his 19-year-old soon suleman with him. he had just graduat

. >> ainsley: jannicke tell us about hammish he went to buzz aldrin.aire clearly very successful. tell us more about him and why he wanted to do adventurous explorations hammish is larger than life he works hard and explores hard. is he detail-oriented. is he a perfectionist. and if someone hasn't done something, hammish wants to achieve it. i can see images of terry and hammish together. we all flew in orbit and navigated the planets over the north and south pole for fastest navigation of earth. >> how do you know him? >> so i got to know hammish when we went on the expedition one more orbit. we were both at nasa kennedy space center in different capacities we got know each other through the connection of buzz al dresden. he bleafd in me. he needed a technology person to communicate and livestream and help him create documentaries of his expeditions that's how i joined this esteemed crew of navigators to sir couple navigate the planet. >> brian: pretty amazing. what about your thoughts on the banging every 30 minutes and reports we are hearing? you kn

i met hamish on a trip to the south pole with buzz aldrin in 2016. he's extremely amiable man. he won't be flustered by a situation and he will -- influence from people around him. he is fiercely intellectual. so, i can imagine he is sitting there going through all permutations and combinations of what can be done to help a situation. it would not surprise me if it was his idea to be doing the banging, even -- distinguish it from random noise, to -- seems to indicate that this -- making that noise. >> how risky was this? how risky is this type of expedition? >> without a doubt, it is risky. 3800 meters is -- if you bear in mind that most military submarines can only go down to 1800 meters. the -- temperatures -- quite foreboding. >> yeah. and why would hamish have wanted to take this risk? >> i think he will agree that the titanic is an iconic wreck. there's a lot of history there. the fact that it was missing for so long, the original expedition objectives, were to go down and do a 3d scan of the titanic -- the oceangate submersible and so that could then be compared to anothe

he traveled to the south pole with buzz aldrin and a friend of mine from england.space. always looking for the next adventure. just a guy who enjoyed life, enjoyed pushing the limits. it's a really great loss to the world. in terms of stockton, obviously, he was trying his very best to build these new things. can explore as well. it's just sad to see all five of them, quite frankly, disappear just like this. by her to go out to their families. >> do you think this is going to impact deepwater exploration in the future? >> i think i remember when the titanic sank, obviously, that was a massive world event, the world media was on this thing. and the sinking of the titanic lead to new regulations related to how many rescue boats you had on it, on the titanic, they were not enough rescue boats for everybody. that got changed through the global legislation, safety measures got put in place, et cetera. so, that titanic event, more than 100 years ago, changed regulations. it is quite possible that with the titan imploding like this and with the partial lack, or maybe a ga
