as kathy said earlier, it is not over. this was a beautiful launch, and we're all very excited about this launch, but remember, this is a six-month mission that is the first of many. we use the word operational. make no mistake when you are flying interest is in the best when you are flying into space, there is always risk and you always need diligence. ,e are confident in spacex in our international partners, ,he faa, and boeing coming which will be exciting. i am very thrilled about how today went and i look forward to so many great things in the future. >> stay with us come that we have lots of exciting news. we will be having live continuous coverage of our nasa television through docking which will happen at 11 p.m. tomorrow and we will also have been welcome ceremony. all this information and lots more at nasa.gov. >> both chambers of congress are in session this week. the house starts at 2:00 p.m. eastern today to consider a number of veterans related bills. a hearing to strengthen oversight following the crushing o

our next question comes from faust. >> question for either gwynne kathy. there were some alerts after crewys drag them into orbit abot the thermal control system. it looks like that was resolved but was that just a false alarm or that an actual issue with the thermal control system that has since been corrected? thanks. >> it's amazing come in the first hour flight it's got all th systems are activated, and so the fault detection system ar working, and what happened was it hit a theater and that ppenss during system startup and it did exactly what it is supposed to do. it flipped over to the second leg. we have a lot of retentions in the syste and the team was able to go in and ended up clring the fault in both ls are back up and running. this is not an unusual thing to happen, when systems are started like this. we go through the launc and then o we kind of hang out for e first hour of dragon activation becausehe amazing thing that goes through and checks at alle different parts of it and gives us a good health check forhe way the spacecraft is working. u

kathy: the spacecraft makes it look easy. work between of the spacex and nasa teams to share their learning and to go interchange, of technical interchange, and a ton of testing to make it look like that. it was a testament today that we could all sit there and kind of be talking while it was going on and not biting our nails. it is that the dragon is a beautiful vehicle and she did a nice job today. randy: next up -- brandy: next up is space.com. >> thank you for doing this. this is probably for joel. could you talk about what it means to have the extra crew member. what does it mean for the research potential of the next six months coming up and maybe beyond as we see this happen more often? joel: one of the things is we of able to double the amount science and research and technology development we do on spacethe international station. with three crewmembers we were averaging 35 hours a week of science with the fourth member, that person's time is dedicated to science and utilization and research, so 70 hours. we will be a

. >> thank you, kathy. next to mark geyer. >> thank you kathy ottawa to thank you for your leadership especially in making this happen. it is a terrific day for nasa and for the country in general. it's really exciting to see the seven crew members on iss, four a, two russian and our japanese partners. it's great to be starting this crew rotation plan and not being able to utilize iss as we envisioned. i'm honored to with the increment 64 pin today, so it's a great start to that mission. the astronauts are doing great. you saw them as they came through the hatch. they are excited to start their mission. they are very well trained. they ready to get started. we believe nasa unites with our partners to achieve bold omissions and in this case they can be commercial partners or international partners. next year we are going to have a lot of exciting missions including continuing space x missions, boeing commercial crew, sending paul ryan out past the moon. eventually private astronaut missions and also the smal

bob's sister kathy had her doubts too. kathy knew bob suffered from ptsd and took medication. refused to believe her brother would kill himself. >> he could have part of his finger hanging off, he would duct tape it up and keep going. you know. >> that's the kind of guy you saw too? >> yeah. >> so a pill-popping brother didn't make any sense to you. >> no. did not. >> suspicions deepened. a week later when they traveled to bob's funeral in eastern tennessee. deep in their grief, they met the friend who'd reported bob's death to the police. and who was back in the community. as police continued to look into him. his name was chuck kazmarzik. >> how would you describe the guy is this. >> he was very creepy. there was just something about him like when he looked at you it was almost like he could just stare through you. >> shawn and jen saw the same. >> he seemed like a tough military guy. >> there was a look about him. >> the cold stare. >> yeah. >> then kathy got a copy of the 911 call. and what she heard sounded like the verbal equivalent of a thousand-yard stare. >> mr. mccla

this question is for kathy. what are you most looking forward to and what can keep you up at night if anything over the next six months? joel has got a whole list of items he wants these crew members start working on. start fora little bit crew members and he has a backlog of work and science that he needs to get done. ,hen you have people on board you always are maintaining visual and making sure just like we do. having dragon up their means we have more people out of -- in orbit that we are thinking of and making sure we are taking care of them. it's what makes human spaceflight so fun and challenging. is that you always have to realize you are maintaining human safety in a tough environment. but we have a great station program. they will take care of the mywmembers and they make ability to sleep a little bit better at night. i'm counting on you, joel. question comes from nashville news. >> my question is for kathy. as you described at the beginning of this press conference, it was tough to get to this point.

kathy. we hear you loud and clear. >> wow, i can't tell you how great it is to see you outside the hatch. on behalf of the nasa and spacex tears, there's a lot of [inaudible]. >> well, thank you. kathy. we just want to say thank you to everybody: spacex, nasa, the d.o.d., just all across the nation. it's been an incredible journey, and it's amazing that this is marking the start of operational crew rotation missions to the international space station missions from the florida coast. so it was an amazing ride. i can't tell you how excited we were when that rocket lifted off the pad, and the last 27 hours have gone really smooth, actually. so we are really excited to be here, we are humbled, and we are excited to be a part of this great expedition, so we are looking forward to the next six months, and can't wait to get started. >> yeah, thank you for letting me get to say hello to you all, and being there a little bit on station with you all. and i just want to tell you how proud we are of you

kathy and valerie, thank you, both. for more on the rapidly devolving covid situation here in the u.s., i want to bring in our next guest. dr. howard, good to see you doctor. i mean, you really understand this from both the vantage point of government, and the vantage point of a medical provider. i mean, how important is it for the presidential transition to start in earnest so that national planning can, then, be coordinated? >> well, alicia, right now, we're seeing all the trends for covid going in absolutely the wrong direction. rising cases. rising hospitalization. ri rising deaths. it's getting to the point, alicia, that when a person is sick, they may not be guaranteed a bed in a hospital where a medical team can take care of them. we are seeing field hospitals being erected in multiple states around the country. in wisconsin. in wyoming. here, in massachusetts. so right now, we have two independent federal task forces meeting on covid. representing the current administration and the future one. and they haven't m

let's go to you first, kathy. a lot of kids here were already going to school virtually, but roughly 300,000 were going in-person. how are families going to handle this? they have to go to work today. >> hey, steph. yeah, so they are definitely in another dilemma again. a lot of families are certainly upset. in fact, thousands of them have signed a petition to keep school doors open. in fact, several families will be protesting later on today to keep schools open. now they are arguing a couple of things. they are saying, obviously, this is a major disruption to the school year and already chaotic school year. and they are also looking at the transmission rate within schools. when you look at the numbers, right now it's just under 0.2%. compare that to the citywide positivity rate of 3%. so a lot of families just don't understand how bars and restaurants in the city currently can remain open under reduced capacity when data seems to suggest that there is more virus spread in these environments versus schools. and,
