nasa is entering a whole new era. >> so, you know, the question that many people are asking, andy now, is when will actually a man beto mars? when will this happen? >> reporter: well that is a key question, but this is a long process, safety is a top priority. we have never been this deep into space before as human beings, so it is a few years before we'll see those astronauts get on board. so it's a long process, and basically this is just a stress test, there's something like 1200 sensors on board today, engineers will be taking in information every second of this launch. it will be tested for radiation, and the heat shields will be super heated as it comes down in a couple of hour's time and slashes into the pacific ocean, but so far, so good. >> thank you so much, andy. andy gallagher live for us in cape canaveral, florida. >>> hundreds of people are taking part in protests in egypt. people came out on to the streets after friday prayers. >>> now local egyptian channel has aired an audio recording they say is of a top military commander. the leaks are said to be from the office of sisi who was defense minister a
