clemens said that in his words, pettite mis-remembers the conversation. clemens is accused of lying during the 2008 congressional hearing on drug use in baseball. >>> just owning a pit bull or even renting to a pit bull owner is ground for a possible lawsuit in maryland. a new appeals court ruling, declares pit bulls as a dangerous breed. that means owners are strictly liable for damages if their pet should attack some one. a landlord is liable if the attack happens on his or her property. behavior not breed should determine whether a dog is dangerous. >> our concern is that we will, see an increase in pit bull abandonment at the shelter. in addition, fewer pit bulls will be adopted. there are pit bulls in loving family homes now that will end those -- those owners will be forced to give up their pets. >> the ruling on top of an outright ban on pit bulls in existence in prince george's county. >> coming up tonight, some incredible videos, a plane crashed intentionally. all in the name of science. >> the memory of a teenage girl killed in an accident is li

astronaut don pettit will reach the robotic arm and grab it and berth it to the station. >> it is hard think there is a good chance that we don't quite succeed on the first time, but i'm confident we will succeed on the second or third. >> reporter: there is, quite literally, a lot riding on this. with limited dollars, nasa decided to retire the shuttle, develop a new rocket to take humans on deep space missions to mars and turnover to commercial companies the job of ferrying cargo and astronauts to the station. several companies are developing vehicles for the job. spacex is the first ready to try. >> so it can actually carry the same number ever people as the space shuttle. >> reporter: last year, musk showed off the spacecraft that orbited the earth. a precursor to the mission. musk, the co- founder of paypal has no illusions. >> when i started spacex, i did not think rockets were easy. but i would say it ended up being harder than that. >> reporter: just exactly how hard will be answered very soon. john zarrella, cnn, miami. >> amazing. i'm carol costello. thank you for joining me

when they actually will attempt to berth with the international space station where astronaut don pettitl reach out with the robotic arm, grab dragon, and pull it on in for -- and that will be truly a historic event. >> this is a joint project between this private company and nasa. >> reporter: yes. >> right. what happens to ashes in space? >> reporter: it depends on how far they go. if this company, which apparently has put this canister on that second stage, if you're in orbit, eventually the orbits decay and whatever -- it will burn up re-entering the atmosphere. otherwise some others send astronaut ashes to the moon and out into deep space. if you're on one of those flights, which costs a little more, $10,000 to $13,000, your ashes will just live on forever and ever apparently out there in deep space. >> but if you go the cheaper route, i guess they just burn up in space. >> yeah. >> okay. this is morbid. john zarrella, thanks so much. >>> mitt romney's bringing out the big campaign guns today. governor chris christie will help drum up support and cash at a fund-raiser in new york. r

how good your risk pettite says, well, probably about 50%.your recollection is only 50%. >> absolutely. and the defense's motion was a good motion to preserve the record for appeal. but realistically speaking the judge wasn't going to allow that motion, because if it tends to prove or disprove a fact it will go to the jury, and to strike the testimony would have basically been completely useless because you can't unring a bell. they heard the testimony. i don't think that was necessarily a blow, and trying to strike it out completely might have actually turned the jurors off. this thing is going to play its way out. jon: faith, it's the second go around for this prosecution. if this one doesn't fly, does roger clemens get off the hook? >> you know, that is a good question. i mean at this point the government has spent millions of dollars trying this case, which is a perjury case, as you mentioned. i think that this is -- they are being extra careful. the last time there was a mistrial because they admitted evidence that the judge had previous

if everything checks out, then friday in the overnight hours astronaut don pettit on the international space station will reach out with the station's robotic arm, grab dragon, and pull it into the station and berth it, and then they can say that it's been successful. in fact, they're not going empty handed. there's about 1100 pounds of cargo on board dragon, including everything from laptop computer to dry goods to meals for the astronauts and i was told they're even carrying spare underwear for the astronauts. >> good to know. always good to know. john zarrella, thanks very much. space x got a 12 mission deal for nasa. that's a $1.6 billion deal. when it's configured for passengers, dragon can carried we're told up to seven people into space right now. there were six people on board the international space station. the last three arrived thursday aboard a russian soyuz capsule. i'm one of six children that my mother raised by herself, and so college was a dream when i was a kid. i didn't know how i was gonna to do it, but i knew i was gonna get that opportunity one day, and that's wh

that was restaurant don pettit. that reached out from the international space station and captured the dragon capsule. remember, there's no people on dragon. it's got a lot of stuff, supplies, food, more laptops, batteries, things for those astronauts on the space station. now, spacex has got a contract with nasa about $1.5 billion to do these flights to bring stuff up to the international space station. right now humans can only get there courtesy of the russian space flight program. so there's not a way for humans to get there on the commercial side yet, but that is certainly something that spacex and a couple other private companies have their eye on kind of looking down the road as, of course, we know the shuttle program was phased out and private space flight in cooperation with nasa is starting to take over some of those responsibilities. today we saw the first cargo one. they're slowly working on hooking this thing up to the space station and then they'll open the hatch probably tomorrow, suzanne, and start t
