>> the lander is in freefall and headed towards this comet and once it lands, it's actually going to have to harpoon itself to the comet itself so it can stay in place and doesn't bounce back into space. i got off the phone with the nasa scientists in germany. they liken the mission to hitting a golf ball on earth and having it hit the moon. that's difficult it is to perform perfectly. >> this is incredibly labor-intensive as you point out, rachel. miles didn't it take them something like ten years to finally complete this project? >> it was a long journey to get to this comet, and there were some delays along the way so they had to choose a newcombet but what's really i think fascinating about it, pamela, as they've gotten closer along this ten-year journey to get to it, the comet is not at all what they thought it was going to be. when you look at the telescope images of it, it looks like a blob and the closer they've gotten to it, it is about a two and a half mile wide rubber ducky in space and a fascinating object. not only is it angular, there's a lot of cliffs and boulder. harp

the economy was in freefall, the auto industry was about to disappear, housing prices were collapsingthe financial system in chaos, our unemployment rate went over 10%, and now over the past 4.5 years, america's businesses have created more than 10 million new jobs. over the past six months, our economy has grown at the fastest pace in more than a decade. there is almost no economic measure where we are not doing better. the deficit is cut by more than half. energy production up. high school graduation rates up. college attendance rates up. clean energy we have doubled. carbon emissions we have slowed, so we have made progress on every item, but what we also know, the reason we are here is because we have got so much more work to do. not everybody has felt growth in the economy. you know right here in pennsylvania, and unfortunately because we have had a governor who does not always work with us, pennsylvania ranked second to last in the country in job growth. second to last. you do not want to be second to last. and over the next week, you have got a chance to change that. you can ch

not at all, which means, what, a freefall for the price of oil? >> it might be a freefall. think about it this way -- the saudi's got their way. they might not be interested in a higher oil price because they think there is a supply glut, but they think it is coming from shallamerica and producers. they want to take them out of the market, take them out of the business. the gulf countries produce $30 a barrel. that shall producers are at $60 a barrel. they think if they can see the price fall, those companies will belly up. we saw this in 1996. oil was about $10, and the saudis kept it going. it really punished houston. nobody thinks it has to go to $10, but $60 is where you can extract pain in places like north dakota. >> in terms of oil production, you mentioned north dakota and other areas for u.s. shale oil. we will see competition between shell oil here in the u.s. and opec? >> that is the idea, market share, and trying to hold onto market share in the united states. , while it has produced a lot of oil, the gulf, trees looked countries like to point to producexpensive

boeing stock was in a freefall amid a global economic crisis. >> ... that strike really enraged the top executives at boeing. and so early in 2009 they made it very clear that they wanted a second assembly line somewhere else. >> that turned out to be south carolina. the state offered cheap land and labor ... close to one billion dollars in support... and no unions. >> the decision to build the second 787 assembly line in charleston south carolina was made because of the strike in 2008. they wanted to do it there because they wanted to weaken the union, and they did. >> it kind of has a shameless feel to it right? it's very manipulative and not very hometown. that's not the way you treat your people in your community, unless they're not in your community, unless you see them as a source of gains to be extracted. >> but for boeing, leaving behind a world.class union workforce for the greener pastures of non-union charleston would come at a price. work in the plant is significantly behind schedule and plagued by production errors. >> i know of one customer they'll no longer accept planes

unemployment rate -- >> but that was when he went from holding steady to what may be a political freefall. >> well, you're right. but as these questions about the competence arose, the president's job approval numbers on handling the economy had similarly dropped and some polls into the 30s and most polls into the low 40s. so this whole thing has had a corrosive effect on the president's standing. it's caused people to go back and re-examine, it this president up to the job and do they need to send him a message about the final two years he has in office? you're right, the issue security in mid-august, it was not even on the list of the top concerns in a cbs poll. six weeks later, it was number two after the economy but the economy has continued to be week and underperforming. people's concerns about their jobs and paychecks have now become part and parcel, is the president up to the job? >> joe, is he a victim of circumstance, a victim of circumstance or a victim of his and their own policies? >> well, both. both of those things are true. but the remarkable thing, megyn, when you go thro

europeans and their space agency controllers say that the unmanned landing craft is in position to freefall the lander will separate from the mother craft, but it can't be steered. once that happens, if anything lines up, that it will take seven hours for the landing craft to fall onto the comet. once there it will conduct research on the origins of comets, stars, and planets. >> well, back here on earth a world record that has been broken on a bicycle. but this is no ordinary bike. it is a rocket by power by hydrogen peroxide with an amazing 270 miles an hour. the bike has three flexors. the company called exotic thermal engineering made this bike, and they have also made a rocket-powered go kart, a car. >> and it will get you to school on time. >> yeah. >> try going in between lanes though. >> yes, on the bay bridge. >> lane splitting. it's not recommended. going 70 miles an hour. >> good. >> all right, you now what. >> what? >> it's the rain. it is always away from the grass of the bay area. not anymore. wait until you see the seven- day forecast. first we'll talk about cooler weather mo

be to operate the army and get it to sort of push itself off the surface again, so it would go in freefall, back up into space, and then see if it comes down in a better place again. and i think the issue is, you know, if it's not going to get enough light, well they might as well try something rather than risk the batteries running out. but there's still lots of science coming in. so even if they just get 64 hours worth of data, that is a heck of a lot of data. so all will not be lost. >> even as we speak, it's doing some work. it's doing science, as they say. >> reporter: yes. i mean, the scientists here are speaking to one of the researchers who's got an instrument onboard the lander earlier on and she's absolutely thrilled that they've got data streaming back in. because as soon as the lander set down properly and was stabilized, it's programmed so it's one of the science experiments. the one that hasn't started, it has a drill underneath, and if that drill is activated, that could push the lander back off the surface. so they've decided for the time being not to use that until they kn
