was that doug or bob? >> i think that was doug. it was doug. out. he's ready he's like leland is a reactant buckle leland into his seat to keep him from running out there. >> if we stayed outside as good a swim across the moat and get in the vehicle bob and doug. >> the suit technicians are helping the crew climb inside bird they're holding back the hatch field to protect the seals on the hatch. also making sure the crew doesn't hit their head or anything on the way and even though they have helmets we don't that too happen. when you know, they climbed in a couple minutes earlier than we expected them to, you don't, spacex has rehearsed this over and over again with bob and doug. i've heard them say well we might be a little ahead of schedule for read it just gives them more time to check things out. right now the suit technicians are doing is they are strapping the crews feet into these restraints that the a boots fit inside of. then they will close the five-point harnesseses around them. e note leland you talked about some of the hardest thin

and we saw doug hurley. tofirm that they are about launch, excuse me, arm the launch escape system that happened just before fueling begins which we expect to happen in just a couple of minutes. we saw bob and doug suit up a little over three hours ago. then we watch them drive out to lunch complex 39 a and they were assisted by the granting with crew dragon ingress . that happened a little bit beat before 2:00 o'clock this afternoon and then we saw the spacecraft kept close again just a minute ago we saw the crew access arm retract images for this group arm the launch escape system in just a few minutes, we are going to hear the call that they have started loading. >> escape system is verified. marie: so we just for the verification that the launch escape system is armed. we are going to send it over to take us through chocolatey. jesse. >> from parachutes, to the design to be the vehicle launch vehicle ever form. and during this today, we have space x with the cone it was our mission manager. and currently

doug will take over and fly manually and the crew on board will beon, bob and doug monitoring how the vehicle comes in. and chris cassidy onboard the iss will also be monitoring. how will the vehicle perform? and how will the integrated crew handle all of that? and you will i think the pressure and making sure there is no leaks once it is made it to the iss and finally, training the crew how to come across the hatch and how the iss works. there is a tremendous amount of things to learn along the way and we have a very experienced crew on board the iss and a very experienced crew on the dragon. i'm sure it will go well but we will learn a few things along the way. >> our next question is from jacqui goddard from the times of london. >> hello, thank you and congratulations. you said last week that you had told bob and doug's two little boys you would do everything you can to bring them home safely. even with the safe launch out of the way, that must weigh on you throughout the mission and i wonder if you can share some personal insight into what it is like to have that personal responsi

when i had the opportunity to be with them and they were joking, doug, you know, doug hurley's last shuttle mission got scrubbed five times before they finally launched on the section time. of course, bob behnken is saying that doug hurleys the jinx here, and therefore, they are not going to launch today either. to see them loose like that, pat, you mentioned they were loose, and joking and, in fact, seemingly having fun on dave launch. even though what they are doing is serious. everybody ins steal. i mean, these are just american heros. >> yeah. >> of course, your team, going back to what we talked about a few minutes ago the fact that at spacex, you done call them bob and doug. you call them the dads. keeping the safety at the forecost of their minds. this is article great day for all of america. i is a great day for our country. it has been a long time. it has been nine years since we had the opportunity and of course, we are here now and there is, you oh, elon said earlier. this is 10,000 people behind this that made it happen. maybe 100 thousand. when you add up supply prance

bob and doug. go, bob and doug, go, nasa. and go, spacex. >> wishing you a great flight.just want to tell you good luck. [cherin -- cheering dougl want to wish bob and safe travels and godspeed. the let's get out there and launch america. [cheering] i love seeing that group of people. those different groups of folks from nasa and spacex from all of those different walks of life who have come together to make that happen. look at that shot, that is so cool. bob.d: a thumbs up from a little took creativity to get this shot to happen. we have a chase vehicle on the others of the road so we could get a camera in there and follow them out. we are really ankle to the kennedy space center for helping us make that happen so we could see bob and doug all the way out to the launchpad. leland: my right out was a little different than what we are experiencing in this tesla. we had bench seats on either side and could look across at each other as we were driving out. there were moments we would tell jokes, but sometimes we would just look at each other and we would have such a gratitu

bobby and doug flying at more than 5600 miles per hour. already, almost 200 miles down range from the kennedy space center. nominal trajectory continuing. while they continue uphill, it looks like we are getting a view of the first stage as well. >> on your right screen, you can see the first stage with the great sense deployed. about a couple of minutes away from the entry burn where three of the nine merlin engines do ignite to help slow the vehicle down as it reenters back into the earth's atmosphere. after the entry burn will be the landing burn, which is just a single engine burn. they are still on a nominal trajectory on dragon. still on second stage. engine on second stage on her left screen -- your left screen. again, on your right is the first stage booster coming back towards our drone ship "of course i still love you." we are about one minute away from entry burn. >> meanwhile, that second stage continuing to power dragon into orbit. if you are keeping amount of time or, that is going to continue -- timer, that is going to conti

i don't get it, doug.you sell off the amusement business and you build condos and a shopping mall here, you're gonna make 10, 20, maybe 50 times more money! >> well, i believe that, but my whole family's always been in this business, and it was a legacy that it's we all feel an obligation to try and do our part to continue. >> what, then, about selling some of its attractions, like the wheels of yesterday or even that vintage 1902 carousel, to make way for new thrill rides? jim futrell, who's written a series of books on amusement parks, says some have done that. so, tell me the value of a park like this. >> some of the irreplaceable rides that they have -- you know, the antique carousel, the haunted house -- those things you don't find anymore. they're really living pieces of history. back in the 1980s, they took off as a collectible, and you saw a lot of parks that, at that time, were kind of struggling see that as a way to raise some quick cash. >> collectors have always been especially interested in th

[bee] [beep] >> dragon, spacex, burn is nominal so far. >> we have confirmation burn is nominal. >> we concur, thank you. >> bob and doug have insight through the touchscreen control panel they have in front of them, those three screens. when we get video inside the cabin back when we are doing the manual flight test, you will be able to get a close-up look at how they have their window into dragon itself. we are coming up on three minutes into our first major t path toth

and certainly bob and doug were ready to do that on wednesday. and so, the scrub represents an opportunity for the team to learn, and then an opportunity for them to reunite with their families. i know they are spending time with their families and enjoying this little bit of time before they get ready to fly again. i am sure they are getting briefings from the nasa team on what the weather looks like and how the vehicle looks. and, getting back into the zone for whatever we decide for tomorrow or sunday. >> greg from news 13. this is for the administrator and mr. cabana. it has been nine years since america saw launch. this area was devastated after the shuttle was retired. what inspiration after nine years does this flight mean for the space coast in particular, and florida. jim: it is huge. i cannot complement bob cabana and his team enough. as you mentioned, when the shuttles were retired nine years ago, this area was devastated, and then that was with the cancellation of the moon program, constellation. all of those jobs anticipated were eli

bob and doug are our highest priority. this is a test flight. and we will go when everything is as safe as we can possibly make it. >> good morning, this is marsha from "the associated press." i would like the two active astronauts to answer this. this is being described as a revolution, a new dawn, and i would like you to tell me what your image of the future is going to look like in your lifetimes. is it too much to hope for jetsons, tony stark, ironman? realistically, what do you want to leave people with and what is possible in our lifetimes? kjell: thank you for that question. i am still waiting for my personal jetpack, but the future is incredibly exciting. it has been said many times already that we are really at the cusp of the next generation of space flight, and that is so true. what we will witness in the near future, and hopefully tomorrow, is a culmination of that relationship between a government and commercial entity helping us to get to low-earth orbit and to the international space station. my vision is that this ignites that ne

welcome to bob and doug. the whole world saw this mission and we are so, so proud of everything you have done for our country and in fact to inspire the world. >> we sure appreciate that, sir. it has been our honor to be just a small part of this. we have to give credit to spacex, the commercial crew program, and of course, nasa. it is great to get the united states back in the crewed launch business and we are glad to be on board magnificent complex. >> we have some vips here and i am sure they have some questions to ask you, but i have one of my own before i turn it over. i want to find out if you guys got any sleep on your way up there in the last 19 hours. did you guys get any sleep? >> a lot of folks in hawthorne were asking the same question, sir. we did get probably a good seven hours or so opportunity for sleep. i did sleep and doug did as well. the first night is always a challenge, but the dragon was a slick vehicle and we had good airflow. just excited to be back in low-earth orbit again. >> amazin

great to see bob and doug in orbit. we have the astronauts, we have mission control, and we think of ourselves as the spacecraft experts for human spaceflight. so it was great to see this executed so well. we look forward to a great continuation of the mission. >> next, we will hear from the deputy director of the commercial crew program. >> good afternoon. it's a very exciting day to be here for commercial crew. the launch yesterday was phenomenal and today, to dock to andspace station, the u.s. the program have been working on this for many years. i can't tell you how may people cross nasa and the whole country putting in tireless hours, missing time with their family, hard work to make the day happen, but we are thrilled. before 9:30ened this morning. what has been happening since march is a series of rendezvous burns to get into this approach face today. today went really well. we are learning about the vehicle, how to manage it and watching the life-support system. it is certainly different from demo one. those lif

to make it easier on bob and doug to get and then out of the seats. [background sounds] dragon spacex just for awareness they have a few more steps in their procedure and they should be calling for see rotation shortly. >> okay, copy that. as a lead-in to that we are ready. just let us know when you aree ready. >> a confirmation from the dragon team talking to the astronauts that they are just about ready to send the see rotation command. again the ground crew is verifying making sure none of the cargo that is in the dragon underneath the crew, nothing is in the way and nothing came loose. they are looking at one road crew seating but as we have mentioned before dragon is designed to carry up to seven but on this flight for example much t of the cargo they were carrying is loaded in various areas down below where the astronauts are seated so they are verifying nothing is in the way so whene they get the rotation command the seats will pivot without any problem. [inaudible conversations] [background sounds] [background sounds] >> dragon spacex we are i

the astronauts by the way got in there about little 2 and a half hours ago, doug curly and doug bakin. each married to astronauts themselves, well experienced in cancellations and weather and technical issues that could bump flights but so far nasa said and things can change, everything is a go for this launch right now. the weather is clear but more importantly it has cleared all along the eastern coast of the united states. remember, it's not just what the weather is around cape canaveral and the cocoa beach area, 1100 miles the eastern coast, we will be following that and talks with the charlie duke, 12 men who walked the surface of the moon and the nasa administrator and says why this particular mission is crucial and tracee, really crucial space history, if you will, her dad last man who walked in the moon initials in lunar surface, there was a rock dedicate today her on that surface by an astronaut some time earlier. we are all going to be all over that but first to phil keating and what could be coming in about 21 minutes, phil. phil: yeah, we are exactly 21 minutes and 55 seco

bob and doug are strapped into the capsule. now five minutes out is when terminal countdown begins and when dragon's onboard computers take control of the vehicle and the back retracts. one minute before 9:00 falcon line will be in start mode when the computers take control. 45 seconds before launch the director will say go for launch. two seconds before countdown the nine engines will ignite and at t-minus zero hopefully today we will see the historic lunch of crude dragon once again having american astronauts launch from american soil on american rockets for the first time in nine years. as you can tell i'm pretty jazzed about this. i'm sure you're a little excited, too. i know you have a little space nerd in you. >> i am super excited. just so people know the stages we're going through for the next 20 minutes or so a bunch of different checks and processes to begin the launch and then after 12 minutes the capsule will be on its own flying into space and then 19 hours before it docks with the international space station about

incredibly happy for bob and doug, for nasa, spacex, and america. i have had the privilege to train as the backup for this mission. it was so cool to get to see all of that training, those procedures, the simulations all culminates in a happening real time. i am so incredibly excited to see bob and doug get to work now as they do the space station mission and return safely home. i know my colleagues and friends are excited too. this represents the opportunity to launch in the future. where excited about that mission and the opportunity to find the future on this and other spacecraft. >> thank you, shell. if you would like to ask a -- *1n, press star one andy will be part of the q -- and you will be part of the queue. we will start with our first question from marina karin. >> congrats on a successful docking. jim, this question is for you. said before this mission is -- it is clear that a space mission, even one as historic as this one is can do that. do you think the message should ?hange >> our country is going through challenges. that is true whe

doug's hand was badly burnedlj and was on fire as it landed. doug's hand was badly burned.e extinguisher to try and put the fire extinguisher to try and put the fire out and it was in the fire, so it burned the middle out of my hand. ican remembertrying it burned the middle out of my hand. i can remember trying to put it down, and it was stuck. sol i can remember trying to put it down, and it was stuck. so i had to throw it, to get rid of it. doug's hand was treated by a pioneering surgeon. hand was treated by a pioneering surgeon. i went and joined them and realised that my hand hurt. when you say your hand hurt. is that a bit of an understatement? yes! on ve day as doug was recovering in hospital, 17—year—old margaret was celebrating. she is the one lying down. she had spent her teenage yea rs down. she had spent her teenage years in and out of air—raid shelters. that did more damage for me than anything, to hear the siren go off, itjust shook my nerves to pieces and it took me years and yea rs pieces and it took me years and years to get over that. but i'm all right now.

no doubt bob and doug demonstrated that today. havehis is a first time i ever been in the flight control room as a chief astronaut while we were trying to launch a crew. acceptingell you, risk on behalf of others is a big responsibility. i was amazed at what was going on. as kirk said, there was a lot of paddling an underneath. i want everyone to know we were surrounded by he was on the ground that got us where we are today. with that -- we were surrounded by heroes on the ground that got us where we are today. with that, i look forward to seeing them dock at the international space station tomorrow. >> thank you. today, we have media joining us remotely. they will be on the phone and watching on television like everybody else. to ensure as many people as possible can ask their questions, we are asking all reporters to ask one question to make sure their colleagues have an opportunity to participate in this press conference. please state your name, affiliation and whom you are directing your question to. miriamr: thank you, kramer

margaret and doug, lovely couple. it isa margaret and doug, lovely couple. it is a quarter past six. let's take a look at today's front pages. the daily mirror carries a photograph of people celebrating ve day with a street party in 1945. it says we should take inspiration from the wartime generation as we fight another "cruel enemy", coronavirus. the financial times has an even older image — the frozen river thames from the great frost of 1709. that's to illustrate a warning from the bank of england that the uk economy is heading towards its sharpest recession in more than 300 years.

i am excited for doug and for bob. i am excited for the commercial space -- this is the next step in the evolution of commercial space. we are just scratching the surface. if you think about exploration from a historical perspective, commercial comes in at some point when we went and colonized america. it took centuries to get big commercial. airplanes, just a century ago they were expensive and only for the very rich. now we are cutting into the new frontier in outer space. so, a purely commercial company taking two astronauts up to the international space station, i can't think of a more exciting day. >> harris: amazing. gregory johnson, thank you for being with me. we saw the crew walk out from neil armstrong operations and checkout building. they had what gregory, who has been dreaming, former astronaut himself, called the closeout crew for a last look. use of his family members before they entered the tesla vehicles, and they are now on their way, and transportation to the launch complex, 39a, as they say. they ar

>> well, i can't speak to doug and bob exactly. i mean both are very experienced as test pilots and multiple missions between them. but myself, i remember the heart is going faster than normal rate. but not quite as fast as my running rate. so, yeah, you're just really focused, is what i remember. >> and here is the what if scenario. if they end up needing to scrub the mission today out of safety because of the weather, is this one of the scenarios where they could try it again tomorrow or does it have to be precise when they would be able to intersect with the international space station at a later date, how does that work. >> it has to be precise for the rendezvous with the space station so i haven't had a chance to look at the time lines for this particular mission of when they get to try again. >> i think it is saturday. >> so it definitely has to be precise. a small window. it is very unlike just a solo mission where you're all you're doing. when you're rendezvousing it is a very precise time frame. >> and tell us more about t

that they are not going to get the glory when bob and doug come home and we can welcome our heroes back. is there any way to give them some of the glory? they know this is spacex's show, and we understand that. but is there any way to involve them a little bit considering what they are going to do and probably never be seen? jim: i will be happy to take that, and i will tell you that bob cabana works with the 45th space wing day in and out, and they are amazing partners for nasa. deck three is the organization that should something go wrong, and the launch abort system is triggered, they will be rescuing bob and doug. and they will be involved in recovery, but even beyond that, the 45th space wing does so much more than recovery. they are involved in helping us understand, second by second, what the weather is, helping us with the data, helping us with the numeric weather models for the weather. they help us with the range, making sure we have everything we need for the range and clearance of the range. this is their range, and they are amazing partners. this whole launch, we have brand

where is doug? thank you, doug. [applause] you are doing a fantastic job.e already won his election by 17 points, so i don't have to praise him too much, but i will say that he has been a fantastic governor and you people recognize it. that's why he had what they say is a walk. that's very good. we are proud of you, doug. anything we can do, you're going to call me. we don't have to worry about that. he calls me plenty. he calls me plenty. because he is doing his job. i want to thank you both, and jean, you are doing a fantastic job. thank you both very much. we appreciate it. thank you. [applause] i also want to express my appreciation to senator martha mcsally. fantastic person. fantastic person. [applause] she is fighting to uncover the full truth about the china situation and how the who handled the outbreak and what happened. there must be transparency and accountability. martha is also somebody who is bringing tremendous amounts of dollars back to her state that she loves so much, the state of arizona. i know the governor appreciates it very much. and

doug reminded me of something. i didn't do it for that reason but you said this is the first place you stopped when you ran, when i ran for something that turned out to be a very successful run. we had tremendous crowds here. remember at the convention center in phoenix. it was pretty incredible. i didn't do it for that reason, interesting, but here we are and it was great that you remind us of that fact. we are going to have a very interesting transition period into the fourth quarter. i think the fourth quarter is going to be very good and i think next year is going to be one of the best years economically we've ever had. with that said, for those people that have lost somebody, for the people that have lost a loved one, a close friend, nothing can ever happen that's going to replace that. i don't care what kind of year you have, from an economic standpoint, no one's ever going to replace that. but i think from an economic standpoint, purely an economic standpoint, i think next year is potentially going to be one

i have backed up bob and doug and crew one. the following crew, those assignments are still being processed. >> what was the second part of the question? -- when willct canadian or russian crews fly on dragon? >> we don't know. on crew one, we will have japan on a falconching rocket with crew dragon but as far as other international partners, that has not yet been determined. >> our next question is from abc news. yes, thank you. can you talk to me a little bit about the go, no go process? who will be making those calls? who will be here making those calls? hear making those calls? way, people can say no go if they need to but there will be a final countdown to the launch where about 45 seconds ouch they will make a out, theyion go or -- will make a determination go or no go. >> spacex is in the launch control center through a partnership we have with them a spacex launch director that gives the final go after everyone is pulled and they nasa management team will be involved in watching closely. >> our next question comes from

astronaut doug hurley piloted that last shuttle flight. did you think then that the person who might bring that flag home could be you? >> no, absolutely not. i mean, i didn't think i was going to fly again necessarily, let alone be potentially the guy that goes up and gets it. >> reporter: hurley and astronaut bob will make history when they blast off from florida's kennedy space center. >> liftoff. >> reporter: they'll climb aboard a spacex rocket and launch into an era of human commercial space flight. >> i think the most exciting thing about this mission for both doug and i is bringing that capability and inspiring hopefully another generation of engineers and scientists to challenge themselves and to try to do great things like our nation does. >> reporter: when the shuttle retired in 2011 -- >> the space shuttle pulls into port for the last time. its voyage at an end. >> reporter: nasa's astronauts had only one way to get to space. >> and liftoff. >> reporter: hitching a ride on a russian rocket. >> the partnership is strong, but we

anything else doug? no, okay. >> bob what is miko? sorry i have to apologize for using the term miko, it's a little bit confusing between the space shuttle and the dragon vehicles, the main engine cut off is what miko stands for, those happen at different times and white for the two vehicles for the space shuttle, that is when you are all the way in orbit for dragon and that was a little bit after two minutes, we had the single engine cut off for second stage when we achieved orbit. that time under the single engine under dragon with one engine was more of an experience than the shuttle was for that six and a half minutes or so that we were under that second stage motor. >> i would just like to say, in fact, doug did you have something you wanted to add? >> i met your mother and father yesterday doug, great folks, very, very proud of their son. >> yeah, that's pretty cool. hopefully they enjoyed the launch. i know for parents, it can probably be pretty nerve-racking for them to experience a launch, this was their third so i am glad ev

pad 39a stands the falcon 9 rocket on top of which is the spacex dragon inside astronauts bob and dougeen there for 2 hours now, 50/50 all day long. it's really looking positive that this launch is going to happen on the upside of the 50/50 equation. now the air force 45th weather squadron provides meteorologist criteria, neighboring kennedy space center at the air force station and they could wait all the way 30 seconds before launch for a no-go decision. >> if that happens again on saturday, we will cancel again. the bottom line is we are not in a rush, we are putting bob and doug at the top of a rocket for the first time in history. this rocket has never flown humans before and if we need to be safe, we are going to be safe. phil: and as of a couple of minutes ago looks like they will be safe and this liftoff will happen as, again, the weather is a go and everything else is a go for this mission. tens and tens of thousands of people flocked to the coast wednesday, they've done it again today to watch the first launch of astronauts on an american rocket from florida in nearly a decad

doug hurley will be the commander. these astronauts represent the best of america and they will be renewing american leadership in space from american soil. we will be very grateful to speak with them in the time they have remaining today. with that, let me just thank all of you. it is remarkable to think in three and a half years once more america is leading in space again. with the launch of the space force and seeing the security of our nation. with the return next week of american astronauts to space on american rockets from american soil and we are renewing our commitment to lead in the vast expanse of space as america leads in the free world. thank you all very much for your great leadership. share some opening comments and i think we have some astronauts to talk to. >> yes, sir. they are going through the final medical visit. as a matter of fact, that kind of gives you the situation we have been operating under these days. it has been difficult. which is why we have been moving forward. i can tell you a number o

>> i am not one, but i've had the opportunity to back up bob and doug in crew one, and the following crew assignments are still being processed. bridenstine: what was the second part of the question? >> when will europeans or canadians or russia flying on crew dragon for the first time? adm. bridenstine: that is undetermined at this point. crew one, we will have japan with us, our first international the falconlaunching rocket with a crew dragon. we are excited about that. as far as other international partners, that has not been determined. >> thank you. our next question is from gina from abc news. >> yes, thank you. can you talk to me a little bit about the go-no go process. who will be making those calls? who will we hear making those calls? adm. bridenstine: we have a mission management team that is working all of the checks as we go through the process. all along the way, people can say no go if they need to, but there will be a final countdown to the launch, where about 45 seconds out, they will make a determination go or no go. and then we will go. do you want to add to that?

former federal prosecutor doug burns. doug, here's what we're seeing.ttorney, the u.s. attorney for the district of columbia, doug, this feels like they're going to dig into abuses of the fisa court. stay with me for just one second. the fisa court under u.s. district judge james bobburg found the fbi in 2017 and 2018 found there were tens of thousands of improper searches by the fbi during those two years. there was more. take first on that? >> no, i remember liz, when the fisa court issued a report saying there was improprieties and abuses and work off the way you set this up, that is exactly where john durham is going. of course you know, looking ahead legally, most of us are wondering is this just going to be a report as you had with the inspector general, or are there going to be criminal prosecutions? it is a little hard to handicap. it is a little bit of a crystal ball situation but as you have been saying, i agree 100%, there were a lot of improprieties in connection with the application for the initial fisa warrant and three subsequent renewals
