it's a tbethe one >> reporter: on launch day, hurley's son jack will be watching. he drew this picture of his father's space ship. >> he hasn't talked about being scared or nervous. he talked about how proud he is of his dad. i don't want to talk about being scared or nervous and have him pick up on that. >> reporter: they'd all rather focus on potential rewards for america and astronaut dads. >> the thing i'm looking forward to is being able to experience this with my son. it will be new for him. to talk to him from space and talk to him about the mission after i come back, i'm excited for him to see it with ms. own eyes and experience it. >> that was mark strassmann reporting from the kennedy space center. >>> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. to be honest a little dust it never bothered me. until i found out what it actually was. dust mite matter! eeeeeww! dead skin cells! so now, i grab my swiffer sweeper and heavy-duty dusters. duster extends to three feet to get all that gross stuff gotcha! and for that nasty dust on my floors, my sweeper's on it.

that is the door we are watching for bob behnken and doug hurley to come out. we are joined now by gregory johnson, who took an inaugural flight with his career with bob behnken on the space shuttle. so exciting times right now. what happens before they burst through that door? what is kind of the last thing we see? >> well, they are making final preparations with their suits. i actually don't have a feed, but i've seen it enough times when we are getting on board a space shuttle, or in this case a space vehicle. there is a crew, though. there is a closeout crew that's going to be working with them and making sure that everything is fine. i understand that it's going to be fueled after they are on board, which is a new innovation, so that's going to be tested for the first time. and, just making sure that everything is just right to mitigate any possible risks during the launch. >> harris: so, tell me about this fuel. >> well, okay, the space shuttle, we fueled up the space shuttle prior to getting onto the vehicle. in this case, they are being more efficient b

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

and doug hurley have arrived at the international space station. first they must pressurize the vestibule between international space station and dragon. it will take some time for that pressure to stabilize. the temperature within that vestibule causes a little bit of swing, so we will wait for that to stabilize before opening up that hatch. here admission control houston, zeb scoville is welcoming -- here at mission control, houston, zeb scoville is welcoming one of the few other vips here at the room to welcome bob and doug once they get through that hatch. [no audio] >> again, this re-pressurization and hatch opening process will take some time. we are going to have some intermittent losses with the communications from the international space station. you're seeing now the international space station flight control room led by scoville. just a handover of some of those audio and visual communications. we might lose them intermittently throughout the re-pressurization process but teams here will be monitoring all the procedures again pressurizin

doug hurley and bob behnken. they hope today is the charm. interesting little footnote on hurley, not only was he involved in the last of the u.s. mission that lifted from u.s. soil, but in his first light on the shuttle endeavour, it was scrubbed some five times over the course of a month. technical weather-related problems and so again, can you imagine you could only do this five times before they get it right, but they do. they ultimately do get it right and as i've been saying here, often times, in fact, most of the time these things are delayed anywhere from minutes before launch where they have to be scrubbed, or sometimes weeks or months before they can get another crack at it. but again, the lift-off time is scheduled for a little less than four hours from now, 3:22 p.m. eastern time. it's got to be timed perfectly to hook up to the international space station that's now orbiting the earth at around 17,000 miles per hour, just about 250 miles per hour up from over their heads. all right. so we're on that. we're also with don peebles,

"the girl of ipanema" and "the star spangled banner." that is a varied play list to say the least. straight to cnn's rachel crane at the kennedy space center. if this happens it will be the first time a commercial company has brought humans into orbit. nasa just said launch chances have risen to 70% as the weather improves. talk to us about what is happening now in the final minutes. >> reporter: well, john, i'm starting to get butterflies. here on the ground i don't see any clouds in sight over launch pad 39. we are crossing our fingers and toes that this takes off. it feels like it is going to. let me tell you what is happening. they're loading over a million pounds of fuel right now. that is liquid oxygen and kerosene. the crew access arm has been

nasa astronauts bob behnken and doug hurley will be on board.mission succeeds, american astronauts will not only be free of earth's gravity for the first time in nearly a decade, they'll be free from paying russia for a ticket to space. when hurley landed the final space shuttle flight in 2011, america's ability to launch its own astronauts into space was history. the u.s. could only get a ride to the international space station from russia, which keeps raising the price of a single ticket, now nearly $90 million. but this time hurley and behnken are trading russian capsules for a modern ride. polished interiors, high-tech seats, touchscreen controls. >> the way that the technology has developed since apollo, since the 50 years that it has evolved, all those things are obviously state of the art relative to even what we flew on shuttles. >> reporter: what hasn't changed is that spaceflight is risky. spacex has had its own setbacks, though none of them fatal. in 2016, another rocket blew up on the pad. then just over a year ago, an explosion dest

astronauts bob behnken and doug hurley are now in orbit, heading for the international space station.rst to launch from us soil in almost a decade, after nasa retired its shuttle programme. since then, russia has provided transport to the international space station. the multibillion—dollar deal with spacex is intended to reduce the cost of human space flight, including landing on the moon and eventually taking people to mars. i think this is something that should really get people, i mean, right in the heart of anyone who has any spirit of exploration. and as one proud nation, we salute their fearless service, thank you, thank you. thank you. applause. the shuttle's reusable falcon 9 rocket has already been retrieved at sea by a drone ship. over radio: i'm going to kind of do a side spin... and when the capsule returns to earth, splashing down off the coast of florida, it, too, will be recovered and reused. after all the nail—biting excitement of the launch itself, it's easy to forget that the astronauts still have some work to do. jane 0'brien, bbc news, at the kennedy space center.

and doug hurley, he actually piloted the last shuttle in 2011 so there is something quite poetic about him being in the cockpit for the end of one era of space flight and also for the dawn of a new one. so a lot to look forward to if this spacecraft does take off today. we're still -- we're an hour and a little over an hour and 30 minutes away from liftoff here. 45 minutes prior to 4:33 eastern standard time when the critical go, no-go flight will weigh in and if they should fuel up the rocket with the liquid oxygen and kerosene and we pray that we'll be a good for launch for this historic launch. because we've been relying on russians since 20 is he to ferry astronauts back and forth to the international space station, over the years we paid them $4 billion to do so so this program was signed so we have a home gruen way of getting u.s. astronauts from u.s. soil on rockets to the $150 billion investment that we have in the international space station. brooke. >> and to underscore this rocket has never flown before with humans. rachel crane, thank you. stand by. >>> and i didn't want to

unlike in this case last time, and unlike in state -- unlike in cases like hurley and masterpiece, the u.s. entity is not required to make that choice. the u.s. entity has a separate choice to accept leadership backed funds itself in foreign countries without any risk of hypocrisy or a mixed message. says, you gorsuch have to take the sweet with the sour when you decide to set up a separate corporate entity. my friend suggests u.s. funding conditions or foreign law somehow give an incentive for u.s. entities to use foreign affiliates, but they are not challenging any u.s. funding decisions, which would be beyond challenge anyway. foreign law cannot change the scope of a u.s. entity's first amendment rights. my friends position rests on what he frames is a risk of attribution test. rightk the judge got it when he called deposition startling. as justice kavanaugh and justice alito alluded to, that test would be unworkable, and call into question all manner of u.s. speech restrictions on foreign entities abroad. my friend says there is a restriction between speech restriction and speech c
