nasa has learned analysis had to do. nasa has learned a lot of lessons.erestingly, they are also talking about how they do want to continue with star liner —— starliner, nasa is desperate to have an alternative to spacex's crew jacket because they can't have all their eggs in one basket. the actors themselves, i think, their eggs in one basket. the actors themselves, ithink, will their eggs in one basket. the actors themselves, i think, will be expecting it to and they certainly now will be much easier for them to do with —— the astra themselves. psychologically, this will have build gradually in their minds and the challenges psychological comment out of the physical challenges they have everything they need up there. there are several other humans aboard the iss with them. yes. there are several other humans aboard the iss with them. yes, never not to aboard the iss with them. yes, never got to plenty — aboard the iss with them. yes, never got to plenty of— aboard the iss with them. yes, never got to plenty of supplies, _ aboard the iss with them. yes,

i'm glad that nasa is making that decision actually, bill nelson and steve stich, the manager of nasa commercial crew program, actually spoke earlier today about the riskiness inherent in spaceflight. >> let's take a listen spaceflight is risky even at its safety, safest and even at its most routine and a test flight by nature is neither safe nor routine. >> it was just too much risk, but the crew and so we decided to pursue the uncrewed tukey so if we accept the test flights are necessary and they are risky, does today's decision impact though the credibility of future boeing missions? well, i don't think so because, you know, as as director bill nelson you know, it's not a trivial thing to go off into space. and these are complex machines that get us up there. and nasa is committed to having to methods of getting humans, up into space. and this is why i think they're going to bring back the starliner. i'm sure it's going to come back safe and sound and we're going to learn a lot more and redesign the thrusters and fix those helium leaks. and it's going to take another test slight up

program at nasa. the whole goal of this program was to have, two different spacecrafts to allow nasa astronauts to get to and from the international space station in case something like this happen. so that's why you hear nasa saying that they don't like hearing the words stranded are stuck up in space these two astronauts, they say that's because they do have this backup option, the spacex crew dragon, which is why the commercial crew program was started to begin with. but you have to think that if this does not go the way that boeing would like, it's going to be a huge black eye on this company and its reputation he's one of, nasa says, prime partners here, fred, right? >> and there is going to be an announcement coming out of houston at any moment now, and i know you'll be monitoring it as well. wow isn't the expectation that a decision will be rendered, and that will be revealed or is it these are all the things that we're considering as he still try to come up with the best solution. >> we've alr

we have brought in expertise from just about every nasa center.testing at the marshall space flight center. of course, our white sands facility did testing on the thrusters, so this has been a huge effort across all of nasa, within the commercial crewed program and even beyond. determining the position to bring starliner back uncrewed was very difficult for me personally. we're all committed to the mission which we started out, which is to bring butch and sunny back. but as we got more and more data over the summer and understood the uncertainty of that data, it became clear to us that the best course of alaska was to return star theliner uncrewed, and i'll talk about the other as a spects of the mission in a little admi. aspects of the mission in a little bit. you know, the bottom line relative to bringing starliner back is there was just too much uncertainty in the prediction of the thrusters. if we had a model, if we had a way to accurately predict what the thrusters would do for the undock and all the way through the deorbit burn and through t

and barbara said that had frequent conversations with people at nasa. and indeed, take scobee was the commander of the mission. you know, made sure that they understood the risks were taking. his wife was a teacher. so he was you know, he was really heavily in making sure that they understood the risks. and said that at one point, he said to them, look, there's a thousand things that can go wrong with this thing. but the one thing that's always to let you down is the human factor. and so that's what he was proved right about. so you they knew all too well the risks that they were undertaking. the one you know, the one and the largest group of people that really understand the risks involved in the shuttle was the american public. and that was just because of the way that, you know, they had made assumptions and had all of these successful flights, you know, like i did when i was a kid watching the shuttle go, it never occurred to me that there could be a catastrophe but it was also in nasa's interests to kind of, you know, play down risky it was. implic

that military importance of nasa's role was so great. congress always kept finding regardless of whether the public public cares or not. but, this was a population even with the prospect of landing men on the moon. so it 1969 a walk on the moon the largest television audience in history. but my 1972, just three years later people were phoning in to complain their favorite soap operas were being delayed in favor of live footage of men walking on the moon. [laughter] cell and nasa became quite desperatehi people on the airple enjoying the miracle flightt in complaining about the wi-fi. [laughter] so this is part of the story that runs all the way through, right from that moon landing onward. whatever happens the public keeps getting jaded and bored with i it. that is one of the things which is why initially people are extremely excited about the space shuttle program. this is overshadowed by the accidents people forget or don't know because they were not born at the time. that initially people were incredibly excited about the space subtle

later this else we can form a nasa hernandez about what this kid mcould made for nasa's partnership withg. eight shakeup at the secret service five agents reassigned coming a month after the assassination attempt on former president trump. those agents have been placed on administrative duty. meaning they are not in the field they cannot do any investigative or protective worker. cb cotton is live in art new york city newsroom with more on these developments. >> hi i can tell you there is no word on whether the ultimate fate of their employment will be former a dhs senior advisor sect service agent charles marino told fox it took far too long for these ages agents to be plan administrative leave. >> what should have been a 10 minute decision right leadership turn into this over 30 day process but should they have been removed from work? this would have not made the story that it is today it would have been considered standard practice to the american people and restored some of the credibility of the agency to make a simple decision quickly. >> as of monday one member of tromso personal

nasa administrator bill nelson.rebecca morelle told me more about how nasa reached this decision. it has been a really difficult decision for nasser to come to. they have spent months mulling this over. —— nasa to come to. i mean, the issues, really the problems with the boeing starliner system sort of started almost as soon as it lifted off. there were problems with its thrusters, there were helium leaks. and for the last few months, nasa and boeing engineers have been trying to understand exactly what was at the root of these problems. but they have decided today, they've announced their decision that they don't think it's safe enough for their astronauts to fly home on boeing's starliner system, so instead, they're going to be coming back on a spacex spacecraft instead, which has been, you know, shuttling astronauts to and from the the international space station since 2020. so they're going to come home next year, after a while. right, so there's a delay to that. that can'tjust happen overnight. no, i mean it's

they're nasa astronauts and these companies have contracts with nasa so nasa has a responsibility todecisions because at the end of the day, the buck stops with them. and so if you step back a few weeks ago, there was a task that was consulted, 26 of the 27 jets that were fired and the goal was to ensure that these thrusters were working properly and were needing -- meeting performance requirements. now the team is going back and analyzing that data. so there are two reasons, that could really go either way. one could say, well, we've analyzed the data and we think that this boeing aircraft can come back with the astronauts or without the astronauts. then there's another reasoning which is that spacex is really the way to go. so either way there are people, and this is good when you have disagreement, and now they have a bit more time, given the spacex mission that's going up in september, to analyze the data further and then they'll make a decision based on the performance of the thrust, the performance of this helium leak that they are monitoring and they will make a call midaugust

what's the pointnt of nasa right now? >> that is definitely outside of my field. i don't know enough about it to give you an educated guess. >> do we need a space shuttle then? >> it was created eventually to keep nasa in the business and was a much more complex problem congress made clear from the very beginning. >> [applause] alexander is a writer and award-winning reporter at huffingtonposthi of energy and climate work. he is focused on nuclear energy, building codes

and joining us now is nasa veteran as a ozone a chorus. she is a former assistant director for space policy at the white house. i want to get your reaction to nasa says announcement today. what do you think? >> it's great that we have a backup plan because if you think of the alternative, we have to turn to another country or and we have to take other kinds of measures to bring back our astronauts. i think that we would be more worried today. it's great that they are safe and have supplies that's first and foremost, a second, it's great that they have an alternate met to come back home and third, the boeing and nasa have more time to build more confidence in the system and return at home on crude well, we surely have a very glass half, full. take on this. but in some ways isn't this pretty embarrassing though, that these folks are supposed to be up there for eight days, are now going to be up there for eight months, even if there was a plan to help them, isn't an embarrassing that this happened at all? >> it's spaces complex and that's sai

nasa officials have been giving a teleconference on the astronauts stuck in space. final decisions to the end of august. is not so surprising. they want to have more data to decide. i think another interesting point is that in the opinion, starliner is still plan a, so they are still thinking that starliner should be the vehicle to take them back, but they are running data just to make sure that everything is by the book and everything is respected. so we will have a final decision by the end of august. some interesting detail about how the two of them are getting on. we're told they're making the best of the extra time they're having on the international space station. yes, they also mentioned they're eating the fantastic space food, which i don't know if i shared this opinion because one of the common knowledge is that astronauts food is not particularly tasty, especially after eight months. so, you know... a little tongue in cheek, ithink, emma, there. just slightly. yeah. but, um, i guess other astronauts have been commenting on this, haven't they? while we've b

we are executing the mission as determined by nasa.ut nasa's decision is is bound to frustrate the legacy aerospace giant in what they admitted is a dramatic change. >> how do you begin to rebuild that relationship of trust with boeing? >> i don't think be are rebuilding trust. i think we are looking at the data. we view the data and the uncertainty that's there differently than boeing does. >> reporter: the two astronauts were supposed to spend eight days on the space station. today is day 80 in space. now they have another six months more to go. >> just have to get them home safely. >>> tonight, the political conventions are done. the seismic shift on the democratic ticket is complete. now the race becomes a sprint to november. this weekend, president biden is vacationing in santa inez, california. he had uninvited guests today as a caravan of trump supporters gathered nearby. for more on what's ahead. zblenchts >> reporter: both are >> reporter: both are off the trail but plan to campaign next week as the race for the white house en

that's a decision nasa made today. as nbc bay area's marianne favro reports, elon musk's spacex will play a role in getting that crew back to earth. nasa says because of major issues on the boeing starliner, it was too risky to bring the astronauts home on it. with a decision up in the air for weeks, nasa astronauts butch wilmore and suni williams now know when and how they'll return to earth. nasa has decided that butch and sunny will return with crew nine next february. the two astronauts were on boeing's starliner's historic launch in june, the first with a crew. what was supposed to be an eight day mission on the international space station will now last eight months. now, a spacex dragon capsule. boeing's biggest competitor will give them a ride home. nasa announced its decision saturday. it was just too much risk, but the crew. and so we decided to pursue the uncrewed test flight. the troubled starliner had two major problems helium leaks and thruster issues. bay area congresswoman zoe lofgren, a ranking member o

not did not agree with nasa assessment. here's the official statement that came out from boeing shortly after this decision by nasa was announced. it reads boeing continues to focus first and foremost on the safety of the crew and spaceship craft we are executing the mission is determined by nasa and we are preparing the spacecraft for a safe and successful uncrewed return. so starliner is now going to undock from the international space station with no crew inside. sometime in early september. and that's when the real test is going to take place. we're going to see how this space craft fairs when it re-enters the earth's atmosphere and encounters those really high temperatures that nasa officials were so worried about. in particular killer those thrusters that have been misfiring and having issues would they have been able to fire at the right time to orient the heat shield on starliner in the right direction to protect those astronauts if they had been inside. and so there are some real echoes here of what happened to the

so following the press conference from nasa, - planned.ce from nasa, what was planned. so following the press - conference from nasa, what was the issue with the boeing? it conference from nasa, what was the issue with the boeing?— issue with the boeing? it has been in development _ issue with the boeing? it has been in development since _ issue with the boeing? it has been in development since 2014, - issue with the boeing? it has been in development since 2014, which | in development since 2014, which coincidentally, was the same time that the spacex development started. boeing has taken a lot longer to the point that it was actually ready to go to the international space station. when they were launching the test vehicles and the unmanned one, they discovered their way helium leaks in parts of the system and there were various other issues. they were subsequently fixed. the helium licks that, they thought they had fixed, had resurfaced on their own nation. where they are, are the reaction control systems and they other thrusters that al

he's a former rocket scientist and editor and nasa of nasa watch and he joins us from washington dc. good to have you with us, keith. um, let's just come to the chase. is a boeing still a trustworthy company as well? you know, it is embarrassing, given that there were 2 companies that were picked. so this idea of having a commercial access to the space station, the idea being if one wasn't able to function the other would pick up. well that's the demonstrated that it works. cuz space x is ready to pick up for boeing, left off. the problem with the following is that the spacecraft is phone 3 times the 1st flight was a disaster. the 2nd was okay. and the 3rd one, and then it's not safe enough for the crew to come home. and so you got to ask yourself, what point does is we would say your fish and as of fish are quite vague. really behind the administrator says yeah, we got a flash going through there again. uh theres, i'll wait and see if that actually happened in the 1st. i mean being an astronaut. uh, you're probably, uh, a prone to take some kind of risk. uh, but uh, deciding to go t

nasa selected to _ international space station.sa selected to vary the _ international space station. nasa selected to vary the restaurants, spacex and boeing. spacex won a contract worth $2.6 billion for its crew dragon spacecraft and boeing got more for starliner, $4.2 billion. spacex launched its first great mission in 2020, but it has taken boeing for more years for its maiden flight. so far, spacex has launched nine crews from vassar, but boeing's first minute —— for nasa, but were boeing's first mission will not end as planned. in a statement, boeing said... nasa has emphasised its commitment to boeing spacecraft and said it is certain that it will fly again. but for a pitch and suni, their stay in space continues. —— butch and suni. earlier i spoke with us astronaut colonel cady coleman, she said that the uncertainties surrounding the issues encountered during the starliner test flight led nasa to decide to bring the astronauts back to earth using a spacex craft instead. you know, basically a test flight is a little less saf

nasa now has a plan to bring them home, but it may not be until next year. the nace image has details. >> 63 days into an eight-day test flight for the boeing starliner for the first time nasa is publicly talking about finding another way to bring astronauts butch wilmore and suni williams home. we could bring them back on another vehicle. nasa leadership says some of its staff is at odds with boeing and whether the astronauts should come back on the starliner. boeing says it's confident the starliner can return safely with crew summit. nasa disagree and they would recommend that that we avoid that. >> coming home because we have another option. that's a says it's still trying to figure out why the starliner had problems with thrusters and helium leaks in the propulsion system. i the nasa community in general would like to understand a little bit more of the root cause and the physics because of the questions about the starliner capsule. nasa leaders say they've asked spacex to come up with a plan to bring the astronauts down on a dragon capsule. we haven't

we are executing the mission as determined by nasa."egacy aerospace giant in what the space agency admitted was a dramatic change. >> so how now do you begin to rebuild that relationship of trust with boeing? >> oh, i don't think we're rebuilding trust. i think we're looking at the data and we view the data and the uncertainty that's there differently than boeing does. >> reporter: the two astronauts originally were supposed to spend eight days on the space station. saturday was their 80th day in space. space. and they now have six months to talenti salted caramel truffle layers, with creamy salted caramel gelato. -bradley. -it's cookies. -i can see the cookies, the jar is see-through. -i knew that. -i knew you knew that. talenti. raise the jar.

. >> major: nasa says there is internal disagreement over how to bring home >> major: nasa says thereing home two astronauts from the international space station. the question: is boeing starliner spacecraft up to the job? as cbs's mark strassman reports, nasa may have to use boeing's competitor, spacex, to bring the astronauts home next february. > reporter: astronauts butch wilmore and suni williams were supposed to spend eight days in space. nasa now says they could spend eight months. >> our chances of an uncrewed starliner return have increased a little bit based on where things have gone over the last week or two. >> reporter: starliner has two unresolved issues: helium leaks and worries about small maneuvering engines that failed on the flight to the international space station. nasa's key concern, how that propulsion system will perform during critical phases of flight, like undocking and the braking burn on the return to earth. the small engines need to fire hundreds of times to keep the spacecraft in the precise orientation. boeing is confident, but within a nasa, there is d

vehicle and nasa wants starliner to be successful because nasa wants more than just one source or oneful, almost four years in doing that and nasa is eager to bring starliner online as well. italian prosecutors have opened a manslaughter investigation into the deaths of seven people on board the luxury yacht, which sank off the coast of sicily on monday. the british tech entrepreneur mike lynch, his 18—year—old daughter, hannah, four of his friends and the yacht�*s cook all died when the boat went down in a freak storm. bethany bell reports from porticello. for the first time, the grim details of the difficult and dangerous undersea recovery operation. rescuers limited to just 12 minutes per dive in the deep waters where the stricken yacht lay. one of the divers told me about the risks involved. translation: personally there are many dangers . because any type of accident exposes us to unforeseen issues with equipment or physical conditions. the main problem when we are at sea is if we cannot resurface. so any problem that arises requires a safe system to get us out. the yacht went do

marissa parra has the latest. >> reporter: tonight, a stunning announcement from nasa. >> nasa has decidedt butch and suni will return with crew 9 next february. >> reporter: nasa astronauts, butch wilmore and suni, the first with the crew, but they were only supposed to be in space for a week. nasa now says they will return from the international space station eight months past schedule ton a spacex dragon capsule, boeing's biggest competitor. >> this has not been an easy decision. >> reporter: the spacecraft has been plagued by helium leaks and thruster issues, nasa testing to find out whether starliner could fly home with butch and suni on board, but the risk, ultimately too high. >> we have had mistakes done in the past. we lost two space shuttles as a result of there not being a culture in which information could come forward. >> reporter: boeing released a statement saying they continue to focus first and foremost on the safety of the crew and spacecraft. >> here we are in the front of the international space station. >> reporter: nasa insisting butch and suni have plenty of supplies

how important is the whole starliner project for nasa? there seems to be the sense that this is just a temporary setback, that they'll still be on board with getting starliner up and running as a really reliable back and forth method for astronauts. i'm hoping that's true. it has quite a lot of manual control and things that are different than the spacex dragon, and so it gives us two very different kinds of spacecraft to be able to get up and down to the space station with people, but also with supplies and things like that, so i'm hoping that they will pursue it. and i mean, it's certainly unfortunate and people all wish things were happening differently, but having two vehicles, two different ones... i think we've all experienced this when there's a problem with, you know, say an aeroplane or a train and they ground that and say, "we're not going to use that until we understand what the problem was". well, if that happens to spacex right now, you know, we don't have another way to get people up and down, so we need that alternative way
