>> let's go back to alex shepard in 1961. he was on a mercury redstone sort of launch system, and it was a capsule. and this is in preparation for actually achieving orbit in subsequent missions. in that situation, you launch with the rotation of the earth, because ultimately you want to go into orbit, and if you launch with the rotation, you get that extra speed that the rotation of the earth endows you on launch. so launching beast -- east is always better. when you have a space plane, you get to reach those same altitudes but then sort of fall back to earth and then you experience that weightlessness. it's only while you're falling. when the rockets are firing, you feel those g-forces. when the rockets turn off and then you just sort of coast, that's when you're weightless. but the moment it hits the atmosphere again, it's sufficient density, and the control surfaces of the wings that now matter, that's a good th thing, because now it can find its way back to new mexico and land on a runway, and we don't have to fish them

it's going to go up there like alex shepard did, experience some weightlessness and come down in a parachute. a different experience but just as meaningful, and i'm really looking forward to that one. >> thank you for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >>> what will become of the afghan interpreters who risk their lives alongside america's troops? that's next. america's largest, fastest, most reliable 5g network. this is cynthia suarez, cfo of go-go foodco., an online food delivery service. business was steady, until... gogo-foodco. go check it out. whaatt?! overnight, users tripled. which meant hiring 20 new employees and buying 20 new laptops. so she used her american express business card, which gives her more membership rewards points on her business purchases. somebody ordered some laptops? cynthia suarez. cfo. mvp. get the card built for business. by american express. what happens when you make power your thing... above everything? you put muscle over matter. and you make horsepower... a superpower. ♪ trelegy for copd. ♪ birds flyin' high, you know how i feel. ♪ ♪ breeze drifti
