cnn's ed lavandera is on south padre island in texas, where the launch took place. the good part took place the bad part ed miles above you explain what happened. well as you can see, the launch pad of smoke from the launch has finally been blown back inland, but that launched cleared the launch pad and this area erupted in cheers as the rocket ship cleared the launch pad and we saw it go straight up for several minutes. and so that was a spectacular sight, and it was about that three minute mark where we started anticipating that getting the sense that something wasn't going quite wrong, that this was not the best case scenario and from what we've been able to gather so far that booster unable to separate from the rocket, and that's what caused the disassembly. the explosion there and what is stunning, though, is that you could see the smoke trail going east out over the gulf of mexico. and at some point we just with our eyes, we kind of lost sight of it, but you could. then here a second round of intense rumbling and explosive sounds guessing. that is probably the

cnn's ed lavandera is in south padre island, texas, where he saw the explosion. with his own eyes.hat what what went wrong here? well this spaceship was able to take off across the launchpad for several minutes. but then us about three minutes into the flight, it started tumbling, spinning out of control and spacex officials now confirm in a statement this afternoon, saying that the vehicle experience multiple engines that were out during the flight. and lost altitude and began to tumble. the flight termination system was commanded on both the boosters and the ship. essentially what they're saying there is that they hit the self destruct button, so it was spacex officials that caused the explosion ending the flight of this and this is, you know, as the euphoria of all of this moment has worn off. it's a reminder of the very serious stakes that are at play here, the federal aviation administration says that it will oversee the mishap investigation and that future flights and this is the agency that essentially gives spacex the green light to travel say that those green lights will n

but instead it remains grounded on itself as south padre island launch pad, let's get over to cnn's edvandera. he's back with us this hour from right near that launch site. and what more have you picked up since we last spoke about what went wrong. elon musk says this morning that it was a president, pressurization valves issue that appeared to have frozen up just moments before the launch of the star ship rocket. there were thousands of people gathered here on the southern edge of south padre island, as you can see the rocket on still on the pad behind us. we're about five miles away, so a little bit of let down here as this happens just moments before. the scheduled takeoff. spacex officials are saying that it will take at least 48 hours to schedule the next launch. so we don't have information yet on when exactly it will be rescheduled, but those spacex officials will have to figure out this pressure pressurization issue within the rocket system before they can launch. but you know, this is a vitally important rocket system for elon musk and for spacex. for those of you who haven't

cnn's senior national correspondent, mr ed lavandera, live for us in south padre island, texas, withhe very latest, this is exciting. we're not supposed to get too excited. so what. it's exciting because we don't really know what's going to happen here over the next few hours, but there are thousands of people here on the southern edge of south padre island. we're about five miles away from that launchpad the window for spacex to launch this rocket opens about seven am central time they have about three hours to get that done. spacex is saying that they're looking around eight a.m. central time for a launch here. but the way elon musk is talking about this, this could be a spectacular success or an epic fireworks show. the spacex starship is the most powerful rocket ever built its 400 ft tall, super heavy booster is packed with 33 engines, and it will attempt to push the crude starship spacecraft, which sits on top of the rocket booster into space if the rocket launches properly, the spacecraft will separate less than three minutes into the flight and travel east from south texas and

i live in south padre island for us this morning . good morning to you. so what are the chances of liftoff today, ed? well the weather doesn't look as great as it did on monday morning. spacex official told us a little while ago that there's a 70% chance that the weather holds up so they will continue to monitor that. but the window for this launch is about 8:30 a.m. roughly about 9:30 a.m. central time. so 9 30 to 10 30 eastern time and now we're starting to see finally this morning. starship rocking, starting to emerge through much of the cloud cover that we've had here throughout the day. so spacex officials also say that they've already started fueling up putting in the propellant inside the rocket, which is about £10 million of liquid methane and methane and oxygen. elon musk tweeted several hours ago that the launch is green. so either that is a sign that everything is going well or it's a cheeky reference that today is 4 20, or it could be both as these things tend to go with elon musk, so the crowds don have not been deterred by the three day dela

really speaks to the power of all of this, but for thousands of people who came here to south padre island to witness this historic moment in person it was that morning, they will never forget. it was still excited for crying out loud. i got one word. holy smokes. it was crazy. it was beautiful and i know everybody was excited. i know you were everybody around was just tickled pink. and so, guys now that the euphoria of the moment is kind of over clearly a great deal of concern about where these test flights go from now on elon musk tweeted just after the launch that they learned a lot from this rocket launch and that they will work to sending up another test flight in the coming months. so a quick turnaround here for spacex and i would not be surprised for a second if some of that space hand wound up on ebay at lavandera from south padre island, texas. thank you so much, brianna. why did you shoot my daddy and me? that is the heartbreaking question being asked today by this little girl , six year old kinsley white. she and her dad were wounded when a gunman opened fire. police say it was

and there's a great deal of attention to south padre island in texas to catch a flips of this elon musk effort for what's going on with his multiple launches. to say nothing of what is happening in florida along the space coast with so many missions there. seems like one a week. ashley webster on the tourism draw there. >> yeah, it's remarkable. every other day we have a launch appropriately here on the space coast on the east central part of florida. i want to give you numbers to give you an idea of how the space industry as really taken off. look at this. these are a number of objects being launched in to outer space from cape canaveral. last year, 2022, 1, 414. compare that to 2018, just four years earlier when it was 17. absolutely remarkable. else to a story. it's not only led to a boom in tourism but done wonders for the cruise lanes that are recovering from the covid shut down. here at the port of canaveral, it's been named the busiest cruise port in the world. they're expecting close to six million passengers to pass through this year, which would be a record. port officials say

it took off from south padre island in texas and was not carrying crew or cargo.akeoff and the rocket began to tumble about four minutes into lift off. the plan had called for the 400 ft starship rocket to make a one nearly complete earth orbit for splashing down off the coast of hawaii. spacex says it will take the information learned from today's launch to prepare for its next launch. the national debt ceiling standoff is heating up in washington with a potential crisis just weeks away. republicans have a new offer on the table, but the white house and senate democrats are firmly against it. president biden was at a union hall in maryland took a preemptive stance against the republican plan. it's not about fiscal discipline is about cutting benefits for folks that don't seem to care. they don't seem to care much about. republican house speaker kevin mccarthy offered a plan to lift the debt ceiling to allow the government to keep paying its bills. it includes pulling back unspent covid funds and cutting new irs agents, among other things, $31 trillion national de

>> yes, i was here on south padre island about five miles away from the launchpad. clear view across the water here, surrounded by thousands of people. enthusiasts, onlookers, vips, astronauts, what came out to witness this test flight and that's exactly what tom is saying and i want to emphasize, the fact they got off the pad and flew this 40-story skyscraper of a rocket and made it as far as they did was a great achievement. now, as that thing started to lift off there is a little bit of hesitation, people were holding their breath and then the cheering just erupted as that thing climbed toward the texas sun. now, the cheering continued again once the explosion happened but people recognize here within the space industry that since this is experimental and so ambitious, what they were doing today was a great step forward for the company even if it takes a few months for them to get back and launch the next flight. >> again, to be clear this was an unmanned flight. that's why all the applause is taking place throughout the process. these starships are supposed to t

jackie blames drug trafficking at the southern border just 45 minutes from their home on south padre islandr 1500 miles away, the new minneapolis police chief brian o'hara, says they've responded to more than 600 overdose calls this year. the majority is coming from the southern border. days ago, the fda announced narcan could be bought over the counter. first responders say that's a game changer for fighting opioid overdoses. i mean, we need to get narcan out there as accessible as possible. because this is this is at a crisis level, and we're literally talking about people's lives here. mayoclinic dr holly guyer , who focuses on addiction, medicine says if someone is administered narcan and is not having an overdose, the risk is minimal to none treat every potential overdose as though it were a life threat thing situation because we really don't know who is going to relapse into that state of being unable to breathe again. call 911 the moment you deliver. noxon ktvu. fox two news. i'm mills hayes. the national institute on aging is making a big push to learn more about alzheimer's, the fe

there were thousands of people here on the southern edge of south padre island, looking about five milessouth towards the launch pad there. the anticipation was really building up for this moment. the rocket should have rocket ship had £10 million of liquid methane and liquid oxygen that would propel the booster up into the sky. so everything was ready. and then that scrub announcement was made, and that came as a real letdown to many of the people. in fact, jim taylor, who we met drove from georgia 19 hours just to be here this morning. he was rather emotional. it'll happen. cnn been watching him for 2.5 years every day. and so it gets scrubbed today. it'll take off tomorrow or whenever it is. he'll fix it and we'll get going . this is gonna change the world. chokes me choked me up. but it's going to change the world like 1969 did when they when they did the moon landing. you know that brought us tang and velcro and who knows what this will bring us. but this is like flying seven story house wherever we want to. it's amazing. so jim right now, spacex says it will be at least 48 hours be

absolutely stunning for the thousands of people who gathered here on the southern shore of south padre island. b. five miles away from the launch of this rocket system , and as you mentioned, it did not make it into orbit. it did not make almost a full orbit of the earth crashing in the pacific ocean around hawaii. that did not happen. remember several days ago, elon musk was saying and trying to prepare lowering expectations to the point where we thought we were going to see an epic fireworks explosion on the launch pad, so that did not happen and elon musk tweeted shortly after the rocket launch scene. that the spacex officials and the team learned a lot and that they will regroup and get back to launching another test rocket in the months ahead. so a rather quick time frame on the turnaround to be able to get back on on the launch pad once again, so, officials here say the spacex officials hopeful and confident with what they have learned many people here in the space world saying that this is a good first step. even though you saw that dramatic explosion . i can tell you, john. it was inc
