the spacex crewed dragon inspiration 4. after three days in orbit, it's just about to reach to atlantic ocean, off the florida coast with a crew unlike any ever sent to the stars. these are citizens in space. none of the four people aboard came from nasa or another government-run space agency. if their trip ends successfully, it will mean the start of a new era for space exploration with billionaires like elon musk looking to see how far they can take things next. let's go to mission control for spacex and listen in . >> what you're seeing on your screen right now is on the left-hand side, that is mission control. >> gps converge expected. nominal altitude for parachute to deploy. >> we show same. >> coms confirm that we have regained coms with dragon. they're getting ready for the rogue to deploy here shortly. >> i love these tracking shots. again, that is dragon in the center of your screen. we've got visuals and we expect chutes to deploy and the main chutes shortly after that in a couple of minutes.

his title is not the founder of spacex, chief engineer of spacex. >> which is interesting because the study rocket science in college. he came into rockets not knowing a lot of rocket science. >> you're right. he had a physics degree among his other undergraduate degrees and decided that he would read a lot of textbooks and everything he could basically find, and over the years, he has plenty of knowledge in working through lots of issues. >> one of the most astounding things, you would think i was most impressed by the launch of falcon heavy or the private astronauts to the iss, was the first time he sent a dragon cargo capsule up to the iss. he teaches himself about rocket business and sends a capsule to the space station. >> no private company had built a spacecraft that came back from space before and did it with a brand-new rocket, not only proving out the falcon 9 but putting dragon on it. that was a historic milestone in their evolution. >> your book title includes the phrase the desperate early days. explain to me why. >> well, there's no two reasons. they faced, you know, bot

she was an early investor in spacex.ouston where you are watching with norma's excitement. orbital will spaceflight underway. you talked about the significance of this. up until this point you said 95% of people in space have been professional astronaut. you see a world where 95% will be normal people. how scalable is this? guest: there are a lot of factors in that. a lot of it has to do with competition like with any business sector. elon and spacex are doing a phenomenal job but there are companies coming up that will soon have human orbital launch capabilities, and as we have competition, we will see prices come down. as spacex continues to innovate, as the starship comes online, we will see prices fall even further. i envision a world where your normal family is deciding whether they want to go to disney world or outer space. i think that affordability is on the horizon. shery: why now? why are we getting the space tourism excitement in this decade, why not a few years earlier or later? we are now seeing the falcon n

that's what spacex is going for. they're trying to show people that this can be done by ordinary citizens. i think you and i know there are a great many cost barriers that lie in the way. there are a number of other options. spacex is trying to get into space tourism. the big picture is spacex is resupplying the i.s.s. they are surrounding the planet to give internet to everybody. spacex has a much broader goal than space tourism. elon musk's stated goal is to make humans, humanity interplanetary space. they view this as a small step along the road. >> the cost, at least report tedly, jared isaacman is the billionaire who paid for this, which, again, bucket list sort of thing. when you run out of other things to spend money on. he reportedly paid $200 million which is a lot of mope. costs start out high and i guess they get lower over time although what exactly we'll do up there remains obscure to me. cal perry, thank you so much for monitoring that for us. i'm glad that worked out. >> i am, too. thank you, chris. be

spacex has a growing manifest. they've got missions planned as soon as early next year with axiom space, another startup as well it is just one piece of the bigger, broader spacex strategy that also involves returning humans to the moon, something else they're working on with n nasa it involves that broadband mega constellation starlink for connectivity back here on earth and longer term colonization of mars guys, i'd also just throw up a stock chart right now, and i'll talk about this a little bit later in the hour, but that is shift 4. isaacman is the founder and ceo of that company and those shares are moving higher in the premarket right now as he adds astronaut to his list of street creds. >> unbelievable. we'll obviously keep track of it with your help over the next 48 hours or so. morgan brennan down at kennedy space. >> when we come back, the end of a long railroad bidding war, the ceos of kc southern join us. futures a little bit mixed this morning, but the ecodata as we said is the headliner. claims did t

spacex's track record is remarkable. caroline: what does it mean for spacex? what does it mean for investing in its business going forward? guest: no worries. he has is excited as i am. i spoke to a lot of investors over the last few days. nasa feels very that this is a great move forward for human space exploration. jeff bezos went to 65 miles above the earth. that is sub-orbital territory. this is many magnitudes greater. it is more risky. it is interesting because you over member in the netflix documentary, they have followed the inspiration for crew from a number of months and there was a scene in an episode where they discussed why are we going to 306 demos? why add that additional risk even how far it is they have to travel? jared told me last night the whole point of spacex is eventually to get humans to mars. it is to get humans back on the moon. what is a point of doing a mission if we do not take a step forward to that smart he did not want to go to the iss. he wanted to go further beyond that and hubble so they could actually make its mission about

spacex, of course, has not been sitting still.they've been developing the star ship and falcon super heavy, a fully reusable system. elon musk says the economics can allow it to do point-to-point travel on earth, having this system launch from one point and then -- >> i want to ask you because i'm not sure if you can see, but we see the spacecraft and you can see some of the marks that were left by re-entry. what do the marks indicate? and what can they tell us about the process of re-entry? >> sure. you're traveling at 17,500 miles an hour or so when you're in orbit. and that's because you put all that energy, the rocket engines put all that energy into the vehicle to allow it to travel that fast. when you come down, you got to take that energy out. so you got a heat shield and air friction to take the energy out. it heats up to 3,000 degrees fahrenheit and the hot plasma flowing around the spacecraft burns the heat -- there's other thermal protection material around the rest of the capsule and it scars it and scorches it a bit.

chad, great to see you your firm is an early investor in spacex., is involved in quite a number of initiatives and businesses so, in terms of this first all civilian mission to orbit, how significant is it for spacex >> it's significant for the company and the industry at large. this is the first time in history we're going to have four civilians on a mission by themselves nasa is not involved they're spectators like the restf us these are not professional astronauts this is a charter flight and four people who have really just met themselves a few months ago. it's interesting to see how this all civilian missions plays out. the first time it's ever happened and in terms of growth, when this mission launches, there's going to be three dragons in space and two different crews they've taken to orbit so, this is a big milestone that show cases the capability of spacex >> yeah, it's pretty incredible when you put it in those terms and certainly spacex said it has a growing launch manifest for some of the private crude trips. space being one of the next

a spacex rocket will launch four civilians into orbit.his is the first time anybody has ever put civilians into orbit. we have seen a couple of civilian launches but they just briefly went up into space and came right back down. so i think this is a really big deal. joining us to talk about it is lisa rich. and with us is our own roving space reporter ed ludlow. what do we expect in terms of the tiktok here. when are we going to see the launch and how long is it going to take them to get into orbit? >> of five hour launch window. there are clouds in the sky but according to official reports, weather conditions are 90% favorable. we are a few hours away from launch. the crew will load into the dragon capsule well ahead of time. hours of preparation, along 45 minute at least official countdown to go through a 13 minute process where they will be hurtled up above the urge -- above the earth. which for a nonprofessional astronaut whose only had five months of training is quite a significant step. matt: what does this mean for the industry tha
