and that question was put to nasa administrator bill nelson.ission management team is meeting this afternoon, they are going to look at it, they are going to see is there still a possibility now or are they going to have to rollback into the vehicle assembly building? if they decide that is the case, then it will be an october launch, and october, i would say, although the window opens in early, i suspect it will be more like the middle because remember, the first week of october, we have got another crew, it is an international crew, two international participants on the crew of four that are going to the international space station. so, there are a number of constraints which they face when they want to come and launch, and one of the key ones facing this rocket now is its battery systems. there is what they call a flight termination system on this rocket, so if this rocket were to veer off course on launch, they would destroy it. there is an independent power system required to do that, it is battery—operated, and that battery system is kind

a 3rd attempt could be made late september at the earliest nasa administrator bill nelson says safety is the highest priority. even though no astronauts were on board. we do not launch until we think it's right. and these teams have labored over that and that is the conclusion that they came to the ottoman rocket is supposed to send an unmanned craft around the moon in preparation for later astronaut lead mission to the moon by 2025. and after that to monce dw spoke to german astronaut alexander guest. he says he's not worried about the setbacks at the last few days. but i don't know if how quickly they can fix it . that says something there will be determined in the next day. so by nasa, i'm not concerned about this, of course. if you look forward in his 3 and you know, it's a beginning of a new era. we're all, i was impatient. we want to have this vehicle go and i would have loved to see it fly already. last week when i was there in florida, was right in front of my eyes. i could have touched it and it didn't go today. it didn't go. but we need to be patient that's happened in the p

bill nelson, nasa administrator, kind enough to join us. has got to be frustrating for you with everything else going on that this launch is delayed but for all the right reasons. >> we don't launch until it is safe, especially this one. attest flight, we will test and stress this rocket to make sure it is safe when we put four human beings on top of it. in the meantime, we've got human spaceflight next wednesday, the crew 5 that goes to the international space station so once the storms pass, i am in orlando. i will be in the eye of the storm tomorrow. i will get out and see the sunshine because the i will be right over south orlando. neil: it is the stuff you worry about afterwards. it is impressive to see everything nasa is doing in conjunction with private enterprise and all the rest, like going back to the great old days, reaven revisiting the moon 50 years after the fact. we have a lot of company including china and russia and a host of others. does the china participation worry you, that some people think their motives are not for re

i mean, you know, the administrators at nasa, bill nelson or pell mell roy, both you know, said this is a success. the, what they succeeded in doing is showing that this automated system has been able to a determine between 2 different asteroids or, but, you know, one always in the other done on its own. it's taking pictures this camera, draco i, draco. i've got to say that you love the names, the youth rack over this camera, but they can target an asteroid. they can hit the on target. they've done that, whether it's the success or not. and that will come to answer your question about whether this price tag of, of things, about $330000000.00 over a 7 year period is worth it. well, we'll see that it's a bit like a when you drop an analog watch, it has been likened to that. you know, the cogs get knocked out, but you won't see that immediately. so it might take days, it may take weeks, and they've been very clear, masser and earn the applied physics laboratory at johns hopkins. they're both looking at this course into, into international space. mid he's looking at this with ground tele

nasa administrator bill nelson was on cnn just yesterday and he said he believes right now the u.s.of a second space race. this time, instead of the soviet union, this space race he believes is with china. and when jim sciutto asked him, hey, who is winning, the nasa administrator said, well, we'll see, but the artemis i launch is a first step, was how he characterized it. you know, sara, this is not something that just people here are watching. it's truly something that the entire world is watching, and china in particular. sara? >> i have a question quickly for you, jeff bezos and elon musk both very much into the space race themselves, to try to get people up there. i'm curious from you if there is concern from folks at nasa about these overruns, the cost overruns, having to scrub the launch, and if they're concerned about public sentiment and political sentiment towards the program there at nasa. >> reporter: nasa officials are acutely aware of that kind of criticism, criticism from former nasa officials about just that. there is obviously some criticism on capitol hill as well,

bill nelson saying, really the only question is the weather tomorrow.ope he's right. we got to take a tour of the weather squadron that makes the forecast and makes the go/no-go calls for weather on launch day. and what they said was that we now have a 60% favorable weather forecast for launch at the beginning of the launch window tomorrow, 80% favorable at the end of the launch window. so, those are some incredibly good weather forecasting numbers for florida in august on a launch day. so, that really brings into the question the technical side, the mechanical side. yes, weather issues can always come up. weather constraints can come up. but the big question now, i think, is, has nasa successfully troubleshooted all of the issues that they ran into on monday? and jim, we got a chance to go right out to the launch pad yesterday and see this megarocket for ourself. and boy it's -- you know, you just get a sense for how complicated it is, how tough a job nasa has when you're standing right next to this thing. it's much bigger standing by it than it is her

bill nelson. he, he's already flagged on their television network that he's planning to make a statement that tells me 1st of all, that's what i just said. but i think it's probably going to be delayed to look over . but the reason nelson, who is a hard, really seasoned international politician, the reason he's coming out up front now is to clearly state that the americans are serious about going to the moon and that they are not going to allow. if i may, this is a massive rephrasing of anything he might say, but are not going to allow the chinese to beat them. that will be the subtext and with that seriousness and, and nasa is talking about a future based on the moon to possibly then go on to mars. is that, is that feasible? oh, totally. there's no question that we can do this because we did it before the problem for the engineers today, a new generation of, of engineers, men and women. the, the problem is that they're now discovering. but when they did is 50 years ago, and it is literally 50 yea

and alan, what has the reaction been there behind you and beyond well, i think bill nelson, who's the nasa administrator, probably some the best up from, from nasa's point of view that they go when they're ready and not before everyone's aware that artemus is taken longer than expected, there were more delays with covered with not getting the re, equipment that they wanted with the budget have blocked going over the initial estimates. but that becomes irrelevant when you look at nasa's big picture, which is to launch a series of 3 rockets. first of all, that will carry out the initial arc, thomas mission, which is to go into a lunar orbit than the 2nd one, which is to send people back into space. and then the 3rd one which is to send people. and when i say people, i mean a women and a person of color on to the lunar surface and start the work to create a base there to go to mars and beyond. for the tourist that came and many of them are disappointed. we spoke to someone just yesterday who only came into town because it was a saturday. it was the day he was off work. he thought it a ch

bill nelson says scrubs are part of the course. and third launch could happen by mid-september. members failed to resolve the leak yesterday. >> a flight 36 years ago on gibson's crew on space shuttle, we scrubbed four times. looking back, had we launched on any of those scrubs, it would not have been a good day. jr: nasa's artemis mission aims to send people back to the moon in an effort to further lunar exploration and build and artemis base camp. >> coming up in sports, the giants have a chance to sweep the phillies, and it was a wilmer walk-off. the big swing that what's the difference between prop 26 and prop 27? 26? not one dime to get people off the streets and into housing 27 generates hundreds of million to help solve homelessness. the choice is clear yes on prop 27. what's the difference between prop 26 and prop 27? 26 is a money grab that doesn't guarantee a cent for non-gaming tribes. 27 requires 15% of all state revenues go to non-gaming tribes. the choice is clear. yes, on 27. >> even the most optimistic giants fans would say i path to the postseason is unlikely, b

here's nasa administrator bill nelson explaining what happened. we'll go when it's ready.n't go until then and especially now on a test flight, because we're going to stress this and test it and test that heat shield and make sure it's right before we put four humans up on the top of it. so this is part of the space business. i've told you before, you know, it's it's something i'm on my flight, we scrubbed four times. we were delayed over the better part of a month. but the fifth try was an almost flawless six day mission. so this is part of our space programme. be ready for the scrubs. space is hard, indeed. the question now on everybody�*s mind is going to be, when will we have another launch attempt? any thoughts on that? well, the mission management team is meeting this afternoon. they're going to look at it. they're going to see is there still a possibility now or are they going to have to roll back into the vehicle assembly building? if they decide that's the case, then it'll be an october launch. and october, i would say, although the window opens in early, i suspec

bill nelson said to put this in perspective. the space shuttle was sent back 20 times so this is not uncommon. these things happen when you're dealing with very complicated rocket launches and one other thing that the administrator pointed out. he said the cost of two scrubs is still less than the cost of one failure. so tat the end of the day, this is not a worst case scenario. worst case is this rocket exploding either on the launch pad or up in the air. this is definitely a setback and not what they wanted to happen today, but if they had not caught that leak, it could have been much worse. >> that's true and a lot of perspective there. kristen fisher who's been monitoring all of this. thanks so much. >>> anger, fear, even exhausted resignation. just some of the emotions being felt in jackson, mississippi, as that city deals with a crippling water crisis that has been made worse by this week's historic flooding. as authorities work to restore pressure, bottled water is still being handed out to thirsty and miserable residents

. >> nasa administrative bill nelson says all inspections are done, but the weather remains, of coursee biggest concern right now. >> the launch team is very confident they have to use a southern term looked at it from izzard to gizzard and are very confident and the only thing that is going to get in the way, if it does, is summertime in florida the rainstorms, the lightning storms. >> cnn's space and defense correspondent kristen fisher is at kennedy space center with more. >> it has called a scrub. >> reporter: nasa says it's confident fixed the issues that led to monday's scrub test flight and is a go for saturday. the first rocket designed to take humans to the moon in more than 50 years. it is one thing to see this rocket on tv or about four miles away from the viewing stands. it is another to see it right here almost directly at the launch pad. this rocket is absolutely massive, 322 feet tall. it's taller than the statue of liberty. and you really get a sense when you're out here that this truly is the most powerful rocket ever built. but more power means it's also more complex.

senator bill nelson he had flown on the space shuttle years before together and bonded.enator nelson fought as i outlined in the book to have charlie be administrator. that was after i had already been not named publicly but asked to be served as deputy administration after the transition team had already really forbade the policy and the report was underway. charlie came in late and did not agree to the president's plan. he liked my plan. he kept saying it's really the president who we all work for. in fact i understand he asked emanuel during his interview for head of nasa could eatk his own and ron said no.ai we have got laurie garver and he said you both work for the president we don't expect any problems. i know i b am seen as the outli. but i was not the outlier. my choice as a deputy's do you follow your immediate boss? or the president? i was nominated the president. charlie couldn't fire me is told he tried a few times. that was not approved by the white house. so i did, when it became clear that charlie was working behind the scenes, advance the president, not

at this hour, bill nelson -- the big question is whether or not they are going to have to roll that thing back into the assembly building. you can see it right here behind me. he didn't quite come out and say they're going to have to. he certainly made it sound as if that was the likelihood. he said that they were going to try their best to fix it on the launchpad. if they actually have to get into the guts of this thing to figure it out, they have to bring it over here. that is a very involved process. it sets them back weeks. that means we would not be looking at a launch on monday or tuesday, that had been a possibility. instead, of the very earliest, we would be looking at a september 19th launch. sometime between september 19th and october 4th. more likely it is mid october at. this point, it looks like nasa could be looking at a delay of many weeks. they look at the possibility of having to bring this thing off the launchpad and having to get into it once again. >> let's face it, it is worth the wait. >> president biden's warning about american democracy in danger, it would have an

as nasa chief bill nelson explains, that could be one of the challenges.e he is. >> the launch team is very confident. they have to use a southern term, they have looked at it from izzard to gizzard. they're very confident. the only thing that's going to get in the way, if it does, is summertime in florida, the rainstorms, the lightning storms. but they're still looking. we have 60% chance on the weather that it's good. >> for a look at the artemis i forecast, i'm joined by meteorologist derek van dam. derek, the weather to crucial to the launch. 60% chance. things still looking good? >> there are literally a group of meet teorologists looking in the finer details because the weather is such a critical role. just as you said, kim, we have a 60% probability of favorable weather conditions at launch time, which is 2:17 this afternoon. but it actually increases those odds to 80% towards the second half of the launch window which is closer towards 4:17 in the afternoon as they believe that the weather conditions should improve through the course of that two-ho

. >> nasa administrator bill nelson was also at this press conference and he pointed out that the spaceo be rolled back to the vab about 20 times, so this is not unheard of by any means. he also pointed out that the cost of two scrubs is less than the cost of one failure. so this is not the worst case scenario by any means for nasa. worst case scenario is an explosion at the launchpad or shortly after liftoff, but, you know, boris and amara, make no mistake, a lot of disappointment at the kennedy space center. this is not what they wanted. >> we'll be looking forward to the next attempt. that was kristin fisher reporting. >>> still ahead, the fight in battleground states is heating up as the midterms draw near. we're going to tell you what president biden has planned and how his midterm message is taking shape. >>> plus, a troubling trend in the classroom. a major drop in test scores after the pandemic. what it means for families and students as they start the school year. who says you have to spend more on skincare to get results? i power up my skin with olay. it works. guaranteed. y n

flammable hydrogen escaping with more than twice as high as safety limits allow nasa administrator bill nelson stressing that safety has to be the top priority of this mission. it's a test of the equipment to ensure it is safe to put four humans on board the artemis to mission depending on how quickly the problem can be solved and working around other emissions already scheduled at kennedy space center. it could be mid october before artemus rolls back out to the launch pad. and space historians say it is not mission to be postponed or even have multipurress told ktvu cristina rendon last night. the delays were happening throughout the apollo and space shuttle programs and safety has to be the biggest concern. they are just they want to get this right, obviously profile vision and you don't want to launch until it's ready. and this is also the biggest most power. powerful rocket ever launched, and it hasn't been launched yet. so as someone that nasa had said they're still learning the vehicle. in addition to figuring out what the problem is, and then fixing it. the other issue is scheduling na

and i said administrator bill nelson says it wouldn't move until the work is complete.he experts remind us there are other timing issues surrounding a third launch attempt. because of how they want to fly around the moon. uh and the timing of it, it's real important that you launched tims to be in the right position. you don't want to fly it out there and discovered the moon's not there anymore. so you have to launch so that the timing is right so that you can arrive at the moment. the right time. just remember we're not gonna launch until it's right. and that is standard operating procedure. and we'll continue to be at this point. it looks like artemis could launch no earlier than the middle of this month, but that may be pushed back to mid october or even later. well many studies say social media can lead to insecurities, but one study says sharing content may actually make people overconfident in their knowledge . the study from the university of texas found that users who share articles on social media get a sense of feeling that they know more about the topics they

someone who the administration first of all hadn't selected to be nasa administrator at first senator bill nelson, and he had flown on the space shuttle years before together and bonded and senator nelson fought as i outlined in the book to have charlie be administrator. that was after i had already been not named publicly but asked to serve as deputy administration and after the transition team had already really formulated the policy and the augustine report was underway. so charlie came in late and didn't agree with president's plan, which he liked to consider my plan, but i kept saying well, you know, it's really the president who we all work for who should be aligned. in fact, i understand. he asked rum emmanuel during his interview for head of nasa. could he pick his own deputy? and rom said? no, we've got lori garver to be deputy and charlie said, well, what if we don't agree on things and he said you both work for the president so we don't expect any problems. i i know that i'm seeing as the outlier, but i wasn't the outlier and my choice. as a deputy of a federal agency in your center co

. >> reporter: nasa administrator bill nelson was at the press conference and he pointed out that theo the vab about 20 times, so this is not unheard of by any means. he also pointed out that the cost of two scrubs is less than the cost of one failure. so this is not the worst case scenario, by any means for nasa. the worst case scenario is an explosion at the launchpad or shortly after liftoff. but, you know, boris and amara, make no mistake, a lot of disappointment at the kennedy space center. this is not what they wanted. >> kristin fisher, from cape canaveral, florida, thank you. >>> joining us now is hakeem olawasi from the science channel. good morning. thankful to have your expertise as always. i bet you were disappointed yesterday along with the rest of us. >> there is a little bit of disappointment, but actually i am happy that things did not go badly, right. so this is -- i see this as the system working. doing anything new in a research world, especially something as big and complex as the biggest rocket nasa has launched, you know it does have some hiccups. >> so then talk

you had from bill nelson, he made the decision that he wasn't going to push ahead with anything until everything was absolutely safe across this area. we met people who were here for the launch, one man who had arrived on yesterday. he was walking on monday during the last aborted launch, so he'd get the chance to see the rocket go into the sky and now we'll go back to work if it's going to be tuesday or wednesday. perhaps monday before the rocket launches. the will know in a couple of hours, but they're hoping that they'll be able to launch maybe monday or tuesday. there's a couple of windows there that they can do that they can work with the weather and would be right for the launch teams. that decision will have to be made pretty certain. if they can't do it, then they're going to have to wheel the rock, it essentially back into the workshop. and that means everything could be postponed till the middle of september. perhaps even eli october, it would be a disappointment to nasa if that were to happen. but they are looking at the big picture. this is a project which will last over s

nasa administrator bill nelson watching the weather. >> i know what august is when it comes to rainstormswith a little guarded optimism. >> reporter: but monday's scrub wasn't because of the weather. >> a scrub for today. >> reporter: one of the engines on the new sls rocket, the space launch system, didn't cool down to the proper temperature. nelson says it was just bad data, not a bad engine. > you follow the physics instead of the sensor, particularly because this is a test sensor. >> reporter: now nasa believes the most powerful rocket in the world is ready for liftoff to send the uncrewed orion capsule around the moon and back to earth to test it for astronauts like anne mcclain, who is in line someday to go to the moon. >> i'm excited i'll be able to see something i've never seen before. the american people and the international community have committed an enormous amount of resources to this program, and we at nasa have a responsibility to get it right. >> reporter: today's launch window opens at 2:17 eastern right in the middle of college football. >> i expect that a bunch of coll

and a short time ago, the administrator bill nelson, the administrator finesse said that we may be looking at mid october launch. now, that's all contingent, he doesn't make the final call, that's the launch director and the engineers in consultation with literally the rocket experts. they're all meeting right now. we'll have a 4:00 news conference. we expect to learn more. there's been an awful lot of twitter traffic back and forth. this is a disaster, how could they be scrapping a launch again! this is pretty standard stuff for nasa. listen, nasa described launches going back to the apollo days, shuttle days, spacex has had launches. rocket science is not easy. especially if you want to go to the new -- moon and you can't attempt to fire iraq and when you have a liquid hydrogen leak. they're going to go through this meticulously. where is that lee, can they patch, it repair it, swap apart out? to do that we'll see. they may have to go back to the va v. then i'll be back in five weeks to do it all over again if that happens. >> hope it gets off the ground then. in this case, obviously it

nasa chief bill nelson has been critical of the regime's lack of cooperation, and repeatedly said theram is built on stolen technology. china's main state back tabloid it back and said that his remarks were full of spears, the latest rhetoric had anyhow intense this race back to the moon have become. both countries are eyeing similar landing sites near the lunar south pole. scientists believe it is the best place to find water. and dillon is fearing that china can claim parts of the moon as its own. if it gets there first. this may all seem reminiscent of the space race between the united states and the soviet union back in the 60s in the 70s. let nasa stop administrator says, the stakes are now even higher. >> in the space race, with the soviets, it was who controls the high ground has the advantage. today, that's even more so because look, how much of the things that we do on the face of the earth that are enabled by what we have in space. take for example, our early warning satellites on a nuclear attack. gps, when you go from here, a neighbor's house? you dial in eugene fierce and
