you can see falcon nine with the dragon capsule on top of it.hey've had five months of intense training, largely at the spacex facility in california. it's things you would expect. jeric isaac men, the commander of this mission, the ceo who is funding it, is an experienced and capable pilot in his spare time. he flew a number of the crewmembers and fighter jets to get them experienced with the geforce. they do virtual reality training about what it will be like in certain scenarios inside the capsule. dragon is designed to be fully at thomas. not just the launch process. in the event of an emergency, it will come to the mission commander to act. i'm assured by spacex and other personnel here that they are ready to do that. haidi: what are the risk that we are talking about here? these are not professional astronauts that are involved. ed: it's the distance from earth. they are going to orbit earth at an apogee of 360 miles. jeff bezos went to 65 miles above the earth for just a few minutes. on any measure, this is a magnitude greater. everyone i

the falcon nine rocket is close to fully fuel.led with super cold liquid oxygen that dragon spacecraft that is atop that rocket, that will be home to the inspiration four crewmates for the next three days it will be turned on to private power. those private astronauts are going to -- which includes jared isaacman sian procter, chris semibrowski, haley -- they are in white and black spacex suits, color coordinated with the spacex hard ware, they were deliver in the teslas that are also matching. the final checks, though, are being carried out in anticipation of this liftoff when we reach one minute to launch, the flight directors are going to be pulled for a final go or no-go this launch window will be open for five hours tonight if need be. but shep, the world is watching. this is a historic mission it is the first ever all civilian fully commercial space flight to earth orbit, and it is a crew that came together very, very quickly, just six months ago, which is staggering for a mission such as this a major milestone not only for

the launch took off from kennedy space center in florida aboard a spacex falcon nine rocket.ached an orbiting height of more than 364 miles around three hours later. the passengers included a tech billionaire and three other u.s. citizens without specialized astronaut training. anna: without training. three days. thanks very much for the business flash. gas prices have been continuing to soar amid supply shortages. we have seen a little bit of retrenchment. analysts have been warning of blackouts in the coming winter months. let's get more on this. our guest joins us. really good to get your insight. i was reading some analysis by one bank who said sure there are short-term drivers that might fall away, but that there are also steady structural drivers that will lead to tightening of the gas market and that will last for many years. what are the short-term drivers and what are the longer-term drivers? >> certainly there are some longer-term structural issues, across the u.k. and europe. we are moving to more renewables. in the case of the u.k., we are very dependent on the we

there are several stages of separation where the falcon nine rocket decorates off but they are not going to the iss. they are going to an orbital apogee of 360 miles. to give you context, bezos went up to 65 miles for a few minutes. this is an order of magnitude. with the greater distance comes rest. -- risk. the ceo beating this mission and paying for it was,. he acknowledged if they are going to do this, they wanted to do it properly and go somewhere that not only hit civilians but humans had not gone -- done nbefore;l haidi: the estimate by nasa is one in 270 chance of catastrophic failure. it is a risky mission. what happened when it is a success? reporter: it is interesting. the aim is to orbit for three days but with any launch, there is risk. withdrawing capsule is autonomous and has thrusters around the side of the vessel which control the direction and put it into orbit part of something goes wrong, they have been training intensely for five months. he is the mission commander and it is up to him to act in the event that something goes wrong. they lose contact with spacex which

guest: falcon nine, with the spacecraft that will carry the crew is over my left shoulder two miles away. they had medical checks and they beefed it up and just brought it . tesla model x, is anybody surprised? it is historic launch pad that has been the sight of so many nasa missions over the decade and as you say, these are pure civilians. it is not their data. they had five months of intense training. they have gone through everything you would expect, exposure to severe geforce, taking up in fighter jets, literal, virtual reality simulators and what it will be inside dragon if something goes wrong and if something does, it will be down to the missions commander to act in the way he thinks is appropriate in the way he has been trained backed up by the other three crewmembers. caroline: extraordinary tides and the excitement has been palpable because netflix, the company we are talking day in and day out, we have been on this journey with astronauts. he didn't talk to us about how this move, what did this particular voyage which was in the likes of blue origin and virgin galactic, what

as you say, the dragon capsule along with falcon nine booster that sense accrue crew into orbit is fullyonomous but the mission commander, a civilian, and one of his pilots, they trained in the event they had to take over the controls of the craft but they could only do that once there was that separation of the capsule from the first and second stage booster and as it stands as we speak now, they have reached their cruising orbit at 360 miles above the earth, which is astonishing when you compare it to i guess the modest attempt jeff bezos made just 65 miles above the earth for a few minutes. david: they are now at their target altitude. the next three days is what we understand. they will be there for the next three days. what is the agenda? are they something going to circle the earth? ed: great question. they are going to circle the earth. they will orbit for a period of three days until there are a number of windows for them to land off different sites off the coast of florida but they will be conducting experiments. the medical officer is a cancer survivor. she is a physician's ass

reggie: spacex's oldest falcon nine rockets blasting off overnight in santa barbara county. satellites into orbit. it is the first west coast launch. it successfully stuck its landing. it is the company's 90th successful landing today. kumasi: elon musk is about to get richard branson and jeff bezos a run to -- a run for their money. his company is ready to spend -- to send four civilians into space. jobina tells us that it comes with major risks. jobina: its plan is pretty jaw-dropping. they will send four civilians on a three-day mission around the earth multiple times. there will be no astronauts on board making this spaceflight one with incredible risks and rewards. we do know who will be on this maiden voyage. jared isaac men is a 38-year-old billionaire who bought four seats. he got them for an undisclosed amount. he is giving receipts away to fund raise for saint jude children's hospital. getting a seat is engineer and air force veteran and geoscience professor and former st. jude's patient, and spacex has never assented ship so far into space. 360 miles above the ear

they love to keep their falcon nine boosters looking all dirty, because it proves that this has been into space or close to space, it launched something into space, it came back, and now they can reuse it, which is what spacex and elon musk have been working towards since it was founded 20 years ago, pam. >> and just the idea that they kept the four crew members safe. look at what the capsule went through. it took a huge beating, as you can see, as you laid out. but as we were told from the company, the four civilians inside that capsule were in good spirits. they are still in the capsule right now and they're getting ready to get out, once they're checked out by the medical officer. and, you know, what was that like for you, mike, after your first space flight to get out of the capsule and set foot on dry land? >> yeah, there's -- i guess there's a physical part of it and then there's the emotional part of it. the physical part, your head is trying to make sense of what's happening, because your sense of balance, vestibular system, that was not working in space, and that's what some
