there are others as you know, richard branson, what you think of all of that? it is a different time. >> well, after tell you. i am so impressed at the way the american population has evolved. back at the beginning, i saw that as an objective of what we ought to be doing. i think the government up through apollo did an amazing job. i was so pleased to be on that first manned apollo mission. but as we started moving society broader and started picking up things other ways, all of a sudden, we have more and more people trying to make money on it. nasa in fact was not out to make a profit. they were out to get the job done. they would do whatever was necessary to -- it wasn't just to get a man in space. it was to land a man on the moon. i think it was a really fine government organization. >> neil: when i look back at your mission and the uniqueness of it, and it was the first chance to really get an apollo mission going. i guy said, two years after that fire. i think you are circling there, 163 orbits, testing everything out. if you are lunar module pilot. you di

he has richard branson with virgin galactic and amazon's jeff bezos is backing blue origin.avy hitter names behind those companies. traditional military contracts are becoming invested in it. boeing working on it, orbit call sciences, northrop grumman. all in all u.s. companies lead the way in terms of investment. don't count the chinese out. they accounted for 34% of investment in the final quarter of last year when it comes to space exploration. 120 million for virgin galactic. 140 million for a china-based station intelligence company as well. also consider this, as a profession, a lot of people are looking for new things to do right now, especially at this time. you know, anecdotally within the space industry they're say they're growing so fast they can fill all the positions. guys? melissa: wow. jackie, thank you. connell. cool stuff. connell: we'll switch gears a little bit right now as we're told the president is as well. moments ago he boarded air force one making his way back to washington after the launch had been scrubbed. we also have other stories to cover. rent

another one that's getting hammered is the european aviation company, virgin atlantic run by richard branson, a wealthy fellow who was once asked how do you become a millionaire and he said it's easy, start as a billionaire and buy an airline. so it's a tough industry. it's always been tough. it will just get tougher. liz: gordon gekko never liked it either. i have to say, too, i thought this was interesting. he brought up boeing. of course, under berkshire's umbrella, he has precision cast parts and some people questioned the value of that gigantic company which became one of the biggest expenses for buffett. he in essence said the likes of boeing and airbus cutting production, what does that mean for precision cast parts? he was pretty clear in saying, you know, it's going to have an effect and it won't be a good one. >> it's going to hurt a lot and the other point he made is that berkshire is vast and sprawling. it's got arteries in every part of american industry, so some of the companies are going to be hammered, like precision. others might not do so poorly. net jets, for example. priv

now, sir richard branson's space tourism company virgin galactic which just went public in october, there's the stock for you up 6% today, looking at that company, another part of this corporate space race, if you will, and then you've got boeing, whose starliner capsule lost out this time to spacex for today's flight. they had a series of mishaps that has pushed it a bit further out of nasa's orbit. now, separately, the aircraft maker announced it is planning to lay off more than 6,000 employees this week. that is the cost-cutting move really coming in the middle of this pandemic as the devastation continues for the commercial airline business. there is boeing's stock, up about 2.25% right now. we are watching boeing. again, they also got funding from nasa but that launch today is spacex's to take. the spacex sister company tesla, lowering the price of its electric vehicles in north america and china about 6%. this is a bid to boost sales which had dropped during the pandemic and subsequent lockdown. tesla, as you can see, is flat, up just a fraction there. we love to give the excitement o
