all right amy thompson thank you very much really really interesting to get your thoughts on this story but i think the astronauts just about to come out saying they've landed in the gulf of mexico as amy was just explaining to us we already have some reports that they are in good health this is bob behnken and doug hurley they've been aboard the international space station for $63.00 days that's over 2 months and of course they will emerge from the capsule now and they will go through medical checks and obviously they're going to be surrounded by a number of different teams there and then hopefully get a chance to meet their families but they will be eager of course to actually amy i think you're still you're still with us i am yes they're opening the hatch right now it seems to be quite a process doesn't it i mean to get the the hatch on board the ship and then i mean this is all it's something that has to be done very carefully it's very very delicate sequencing to it yes and this is still a test flight so they're always being overly cautious you know even when they have a normal mis

i spoke to amy tomes thompson his science journalist she says that this is just the beginning what's going to be a booming industry historically you know nasa has built and constructed the vehicles that take their astronauts into space and they stopped doing that with the end of the shuttle program and russia was the only means for any astronauts to leave the planet well now iran must space x. is going to be one service boeing is going to come online probably later this year they're going to complete another one crude test flight so they can begin flying astronauts next year virgin galactic is looking at flying astronaut so this is just the beginning and what's going to be probably a booming industry it's actually going to open up a lot of different menus so when nasa was strictly reliant on russia they had you know $1.00 to $2.00 flights per year that were scheduled out usually in the springtime in the fall and now as more of these providers come online they will have more opportunities not only for more flights but for different types of missions so they don't have to do strictly 6

congressman thompson called for a duty audit of that contract to ensure there had not been undue influence or improper influence from the trumpet administration. and that is still ongoing. amytalk about the wall part that w was built in the enviroronmental regulatations tt werere gotten around and what ts means in the area. >> especially the one in south texas, it is a very tricky area, even as mr. trump said, it is very close to the river. the reason why there is not a lot of border wall building going on there must've usually the government builds further inland on a levy, which has caused its own problems because you end up dissecting properties, final -- farmlands, even sanitary's. so the segment of the three miles of the w wall is stitill y close to the river, which experts have told us you're alwa g goingo hahave problbl with erosion and soon after mr. finished, stteted seng l lite gashsh in ars of t t fence. toe clear,r. fisheand his attorn have bo diissed thoseoncerns saying it i normal part of erosion after y have p proje likike at andnd that the will ntinue to fix it and bresponsie for it but wh we saw aer hannais the gushes bame huge cracks anand se instans iwas
