tell me about space and why it's so magical. >> for me, going to space is what made me complete. it was something that i wanted to do since i was a kid. and the way i felt when i was in face and the impact it had on me has been something monumental for me. it makes you appreciate your life, your home, your planet, your relationship with your environment, and everything that surrounds you. and it gives you a new perspective on everything. so it is a life-changing experience. it is something that i hope will become available to more and more people. and the only way to get there is to take one step at a time and if there's setbacks like what's happening here today and throughout this week, we just need to take a step back, look at it, fix it, and then move on forward. we can't just top and say that this was it, we are going to stop exploring, stop pushing the boundaries. >> richard, you know anusha, you know peter, you know the people who came across the atlantic to settle this country, many losses of life, and the people who settled the west, with all of you in the space industry,

became more space 5 million secreting plus without building more office space so the new demands from the existing office space should be put into the mix when our thinking about the demands and the beauty contest for prop m. >> any additional public comment? >> good evening, commissioners with rubin and rose i'm here on behalf of the collaboration between the urban green development and sf made uber is going to be the first inclusionary pdr project it helps to defray the costs of pdr space at least 1/3rd of the space and pdr about one one hundred and 50 square feet this is a the birthing pdr space delivered by the private sector in 20 years the pdr legislation it was approved by the board of supervisors and this commission i'm here because we've hit a roadblock with the project that is the policy saying that the planning department will not calendar office projects for approval until there's a new policy i think that is it good to take a breather and evaluate new policies but the numbers in the past reports shows there's no shortage of office space until next year there is 3 million

there only is space ship 2.eship 3-4 5, 6, which was their plan, and possibly still is their plan to have+cz;s multiple spatecraft they can be taking people up on a tourism, tour, intooxú space. but the only other -- there was spaceship 1, and now spaceship 2 was the only other spacecraft they had. >> i want to break in for a minute. stand by. you're seeing a rescue chopper right now apparently on scene. apparently there has been a report of one person on a stretcher, and another within the same vicinity. so this is a rescue copter right now in the vicinity of the mojave desert where saysship 2 has gone down. we showed you the remnants of what appears to be the wing with the tail number on the -- yes this illinois right -- this illinois right -- this image right here there are reportsesome somebody has been seen on a stretcher. one person has been confirmed dead. one seriously injured. when virgin spaceship 2 went down. now, rick, all they're describing is an anomaly. an anomaly of what may have happened. when y

the space ship.he first concern is status of the pilots which is unknown at this point in time. richard qwest, our aviation correspondent, is joining me here as well. richard qwest, tell me more. >> over the years i've covered the virgin galactic since its inception when it was announced in 2008 that this was going to be the first realistic space tourist operation. since then of course as it's gone from stage to stage, sir richard has been extremely optimistic they would be on target for traveling passengers into orbit or into suborbital orbit to be more precise. there has been differences on how high this craft would go and launching mechanism of the craft and way it was to be flown. they have 700 people who are prepared to pony up $200,000 and sir richard himself -- this is interesting -- he said on that first flight that he would be on it with his family. i asked him numerous times. you know, isn't this very risky? he's always said, we won't do it if there's a risk. what you're seeing now, of cour

space. cnn aviation correspondent rene marsh joins us now. what do we know about what went wrong? >> we're still pulling in details about the -- exactly what happened. but here's what we can tell you. ntsb have launched their go team. >> the national transportation safety board? >> correct. they have a team headeded in that direction to investigate. the faa is investigating this. as far as what happened, according to the faa, things went wrong at around 10:00 pacific time. that would be 1:00 our time here. they say ground control essentially lost contact with spaceshiptwo. we should remind folks at home that this is an experimental flight vehicle. on board were two pilots. we have the unfortunate news that one of the two people on board did not survive this. a little bit more about this vehicle, it's intended as you mentioned off the top, the big picture here is to eventually take people who want to go and who can afford to go to space. >> space tourism, it's called. >> exactly. this specifi

space industry.e to talk to you, dick. were they on pace? had there been problems? should anyone have seen this coming. >> thank you, shep. i would first like to start by saying, incidents like this are certainly lamentable but they are an unavoidable part of the test process to develop safe, reliable, operational vehicles. the company, virgin galactic, is one of roughly 800 companies that we track atn2lnew space global worldwide. >> 800? >> uh-huh. >> what has their track record been like. >> virgin galactic's track record, of course i'm sure that most of the viewers know this, that there was a tragedy in mojave a few years ago. however, their track record -- they've been testing various engines, and doing different test flights, both of white knight 2 and spaceship two in anticipation of full operation. the company has raised nearly half a billion dollars to do this. >> i know that, what, couple of years ago, they had a problem where, when the rocket -- the spaceship detached from the plane, that i

. >> whatever functions but either or and then there's no space as pilot no space taken from any of the tenants to therefore they're still in place. >> we'll have control over the tenant agreement their contingent about the space being taken downstairs. >> that may or may not happen but their noted losing space. >> correct. >> that's the only point otherwise to approve. >> so add a clarification that requires a variance so it is contingent upon the grant. >> deputy city attorney merlin i would recommend you just briefing articulate the reasons why you're choosing to approve that project now pursue briefing describe the proposal and the current one and why that has changed our decision i have in front of a motion to disapprove. >> i'm happy to do that first of all, there are a number of reasons to disapprove one the adverse effect on the rail businesses which is no longer there that has been taking care of and the position of aesthetics we've greatly improved the aesthetics by the changes that was suggested by staff those are the two issues that i think have improved and hatred made it d

space agency n.a.s.a. contracted with two private corporations to run supplies to the international space station. orbital sciences contract worth 1.9 billion called for eight space trips, but two were completed before tuesday's accident. it's unclear whether additional flights will be delayed or cancelled. a second company, spacex has a 1.6 million n.a.s.a. contract, and is preparing for its fourth unmanned supply mission to the space station. the u.s. retired the space shuttle fleet in the 2011 and relied on private spacecraft for supply missions and russian rockets. >> it's a demack ratisation of space, a space renaissance. it starts on the ground. not too distant future. other countries are involved, including blue origin, and virgin galactic. reference is under way, mining of minerals from after i said and precision manufacturing on a weightless environment of space. >> after that explosion. russia launched a cargoship called the progress 57. we see it going off from the cosmo drome in kazakhstan. for

tourism is the corner of increasing human access to low space then to suborbital space and orbital space. there are many different approaches to it. this is one of many, one potential moneymaker that's going to be definitely delayed. i wouldn't be surprised if a number of people are going to be asking to cash in their tickets. because it's going to take awhile to fix it. but there are other projects going forward and this design, this approach is a very promising one. >> all right, james oberg and all of our guests this hour, thank you so much. and for those of you at home, this is msnbc's rolling coverage of the crash of virgin galactic spaceship 2 that happened in california. tom costello and the entire nbc team are investigating. alex wagner leads the next hour of coverage. that starts right now. >>> we are following breaking news this afternoon. the county sheriff's office says one pilot was killed and a co-pilot injured when virgin galactic's spaceship 2 crashed over the mojave desert. at this time the cause of the crash is unknown. virgin

and space flight is certainly tarnished.u said, what's happened with orbital science and now virgin galactic is a big blow to the aerospace industry. >> i think we can't explain enough and you explained this perfectly before for people to understand this spaceship 2. it rides on top of the mother ship. >> white knight 2 takes off and around 50,000 people space ship 2 drops and a rocket boosts it into suborbital flight and they collide down like a glider like an airplane back down to the space port. where this accident happened is not where flights are scheduled to take off once they are carrying paying passengers. that would be in new mexico. i was just there two weeks ago. they are excited for flights to take off. the workers were working quickly putting finishing touches on the facility which the facility itself is absolutely incredible. it's a quarter of a billion dollar facility in the middle of the desert and they have to be devastated that this occurred. >> to hear joel, she knows these pilots, but also to hear her tal

we've talked about in the previous hearings first is i think one commenter mentioned the density of space for office workers over time but the employment has to the doubled people are getting less space allocate but it is filled with more people like cafes and things the trend we're seeing so if we do look at how have the assumptions changed i think we need to look at that as well and the last thing talking about transit in particular you've called for it if parlor and like to call for it again semi joint meetings or information sharing like sfmta those projects are not clustered in downtown zones we're seeing projects in mixed use zones and dog patch and mission bay and candle stick and there's beautiful plans and sfmta how they're to increase transit in those areas i'd a lot to have that context for us to inform our decisions either joint hearings or information sharing is innovate another adjustment to our process. >> commissioner richards. >> this is an interesting discussion i appreciate director ram to hold the project on what we want to do i guess it's about a sense of fairness whe

cycle but it didn't mean it's going to go on and judging from the past if you push a lot of office space out into the future if didn't makes sense so there are some people who feel that prop m was one of the reasons we drove a lot of business you out of san francisco into suburbia office parks that had to do with the in the 80s we've spent several hundreds of dollars providing a bart system that brought people amazing in the 80s things went south and east if didn't help it is what we have have to deal with the important thing moving forward the city attorney is looking at a couple of critical issues most of you have know we've got space convert from business to other uses thofrm it makes sense in my mind those should be added back they're no longer business spaces and no longer have the same impact that the business space has on transit and most notablely the triple a building is a big one, the hotel on omni hotel s are large and the demo policy a policy where if you're building a demolishing a 200 though square feet housing and building on the same site a 4 hundred thousand you have to

space x being the other one. orbital sciences contracted with nasa is worth $1.9 billion, and this was the third of eight missions that navy contracted them to run to the international space station. and space x's contract is worth $1.6 billion. these are just cargo missions, though. nasa recently awarded both boeing and space x contracts worth $6.8 billion in terms of, for boeing, and $4.2 billion for -- i'm sorry. $2. billion for space x. $4.2 for boeing. now, those are set to carry manned missions to the international space station. >> right. >> reporter: so we don't know yet how the public's perception of the private sector's ability to carry these missions to the international space station -- >> raging crane, thank you for your reporting. miles o'brien, both of you stick around. when we come back, much more on that rocket. tom foreman, thank you. called you miles o'brie be. appreciate it. talk to two form are astronauts and much more from ferguson on the breaking news that the police chief is expected to st

we're seeing more commercial space flight operations along with government-sponsored space flight. so what's the result of all this? >> reporter: i think it's fair to say that tonight the entire commercial space industry is reeling. i mean, questions about whether they're up to the job and the risks associated with space flight and especially whether tourists should be headed to space, at least right now. >> all right. tom costello in washington tonight. thank you. >>> it took seven weeks, but a suspected cop-killer is finally in the hands of the police who have hunted him for so long. tonight, a sigh of relief for the pennsylvania community where he lurked in the woods as a fugitive for days on end. nbc's ron allen has our report tonight from blooming grove, pennsylvania. >> reporter: eric frein showed no emotion as a crowd outside his arraignment vented their anger. police leading him away, frein formally charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder. his hands bound with the handcuffs of state trooper bryon dixon who frein killed on september 12th hitting two troopers. f

i suspect or year 0 so ago i thought we would be in space by now. but i do believe that by the end of this year we are to offer test flights into space with this craft will have happened, and i do believe by round about march, april next year, myself and my son will be going up. >> really. you're. >> the sort of guinea pig. >> you pay how much. >> the initial price is $250,000. if you want to go in a russian spaceship it's 50 million. >> are you up and down. >> the initial flights are short, and they will be the pioneering flights which will then lead on to point-to-point air travel. so we want to take people orbitally around the record -- around the world. and then we have plans to put arrives satellites in -- arrays of satellites in space. the best bit of news is that our rockets are now working the full length of the time, very consistently, and we feel confident that by christmas we would have done the first testifies -- test flight into space. >> that might be delayed now. sir richard branson a month ago. what happened to a corporate alternativ

but orbital sciences and space x is there an ability to resupply the space station and this won't getut how does that impact future orbital sciences flights. it seems like it could have a significant impact to operations on board the international space station. >> so you are saying it could have a significant impact -- let me ask you because you know -- because you've been here, when we talk about the fact that -- let me pull these numbers up again. almost 1400 pounds of food were going up there and that is obviously -- how soon until they can resupply? how long until something else can go up? >> well, what will happen is -- they have to do an investigation, and orbital won't want to launch until they figure out what happened with this rocket. that rocket uses an rd-180 engine which is a russian engine which is historically reliable. so they have to do an investigation. the impact on the space station, you can mitigate that by moving on the next space x launch, take some stuff off and put more food on, but what you are taking off might be scientific pay loads. so there will be -- the

they want to continue moving forward with their mission to push into space and to make space more accessible to everyone. i want to bring in cory johnson from bloomberg west. leroy, let me ask you, because you -- in fact, it sounds like we have lost leroy. i will bring in cory. your thoughts on this conference? it does look like they were making their case to push ahead in the face of this accident. discussion that this was -- it was aompound new fuel compound being used. the commander of the spaceport was saying they expected to see a different kind of plume out of this. that suggests to me this was very much an experimental flight, and furthermore that it is hard to imagine they are still trying out a few compound they have not tested on the ground, that this would be ready to fly as early as march, which is what richard branson has told people. that suggests there is scrambling to get this piece of equipment functional for its planned functionality, coming in the early spring. --they told richard branson told us richard branson is on his way. he will be there tomorrow. we will no doubt ge

how do we find it so that open space and recreational space is available to everyone? let me say that i appreciate the efforts of the rec and park department and i'm grateful to the general manager and his staff for the fact that they met with these young people and that there are changes instituted that the playground. this playground is not in my district, but the vast majority of people who use this playground are from my district. i also believe that this issue goes beyond mission playground. and that is why i urge this commission to actually look specifically at the policy that you are following when it comes to the use of recreational space. i think that when it comes to reserving fields and playgrounds for purposes of league play, i think that is appropriate and i think that makes sense, but i think that when we are talking about privatizing the use of recreational space, even if it's limited, i think that is problematic on a number of fronts. one, the fact is that if you are from a low-income family, that necessary -- that prioritization even if it's for a smal

space ways is launching in chicago today.pany allows users to order a storage box to their home, pack the box and have it picked up and delivered to a storage facilities. it launched with the help of rocket internet this july, so why is the company turning its focus to the u.s. market? of spaceing director ways joins us now from chicago. do.ain what you as i understand it it's like drop rocks for physical storage. -- drop box for physical storage. >> in deed. people go online to our website, tell us how money items they want to store, how many boxes they need to store items like books, documents and clothing, then we deliver the boxes for free to their doorstep and they pack the boxes and we pick them up once again for free and people pay a monthly storage the. their items back, they get returned within 24 hours. >> what was the inspiration here ? a lot of u.s. targets do similar eggs. -- do similar things. i know all about this market now that i have done some research but there is some competition out there. >> there are pl

explosion in space. the experimental rocket to take people into space next year exploded in mid air in a test flight over the mojave desert today. seen just before the explosion, experienced a catastrophic failure shortly after separating from the carrier plane. that was at about 10:12 a.m. pacific time. one pilot died and the second pilot is injured. large pieces of the wreckage is scattered across the desert with the loss of a pilot. it was an especially tough day for mission officials. >> we are human and it hurts. >> this is the second american spacecraft to explode in flight this week. tuesday a nasa antares blew up seconds after launch the pad. and number two was considered the future of space flight and commercial air travel. and it was scheduled to take tourists into outer space starting sometime next year. more than 700 customers have already paid as much as a quarter million dollars for a ride. we are out front tonight in the mojave desert and paul you got to the edge of the debris field after

to expanding into space. i say is the joke in the space business is the best way to make a million dollars in a space -- on a space invest systematic to start with $10 million. >> right. >> people are not really -- they may make some money but they intend to make history instead. this sort of thing is -- it's first of all tragic. and it involves people who knew there was a risk but they may not have known just how well or how not how well the flight was prepared. we have to find that out in a very cruel and merciless investigation to find out where the mistakes -- who makes the mistakes. mistakes don't make themselves. people make them. in the space business, when that happens, other people die as happened today. they're going to dig into it very mercilessly. the other question of whether they can do it better than government -- >> now, about the engine. you said questions of the engine before today. what did you mean by that? >> yes. they were using quite an innovative new engine design and a mixed solid and

space station. so now that it's not going where it's supposed to be going, is this a pretty big problem? >> reporter: it's not a big problem, but it is a problem in the sense that every single ounce that gets sent into space is important because sending things into space is still incredibly difficult and expensive. so nothing's going up there that doesn't matter. what this means is some of these experiments will probably just be scrubbed. they may never fly again. some may find a way to get onto another flight if they can replace the equipment itself, which is expensive. in terms of supplies to the iss, a russian rocket took off today with more supplies ft. space station. there's another launch by spacex, a private corporation, scheduled for december 9th that would also take supplies up. there will be a steady stream of supplies. but they have to make up the difference now. if they had another setback somewhere, then people start seeing it in a much more critical eye to make sure those astronauts in

we went back up into space. i went back to the international space station. came home and i'm excited. ready to get my patch. it's got to be in a row. i still don't have my patch. it's not like i'm bitter about it or anything. you know? i will get over it some day. it would go on my flight jacket, it would go right here, above my heart. i have a big empty spot above my heart. it's okay. i had a great career at nasa. i got to do space walks. i got to do awesome things. i flew with great crews. i was very lucky to be part of that. near the end of my -- right after the second mission, i came back and i was flying in a t-38 to go to edwards air force base to train for a shuttle landing simulations that we were doing out there, and we landed that day. it was a day that this happened. this sh back in 2010. space x launched this rocket, the falcon 9. at the top you see the dragon spacecraft. it went up and went around earth two times, landed in the pacific ocean. space x was the first private company to send something to space and bring it back. at that time, that w

that open space, but they do not own it. it's not theirs to sell or give away. the other thing that is true of the bureaucracy of the soviet union they felt it was their job to decide what was best for the people. it was their job to decide how people should live their lives and use their open space and everything. it's not the job of rec and park or the commission, but their job to facilitate what the people decide is best for themselves. this system isn't working. it isn't working. it's broken down. we should not be coming here, pleading our cause to ask you for stuff. the open space of san francisco needs to be controlled by the neighborhoods, period. it should not be controlled by bureaucracy. it should not be controlled by a commission appointed at-large. i do not blame anybody personally. the system doesn't work. the open space should be controlled on a district by district basis. there should by district commissions that control the use of the open space and should not be -- it should not be controlled by a bunch of a

i'm here representing the open space for the water front. we collectively represent a number of property owners and residents in the neighborhood for over 40 years have enjoyed the golden gate tennis club. i'm sure you have heard this before, if you look at how the project was conceived of and how they approved the project included the recreation component as a component of the neighborhood. everyone associated with that including our previous mayor, diane feinstein, every politician in town has said many times the fact that thises not zoned like the park was which is open space and left to the zoning that was put there by the cal trans freeway in 1951 was a shame. they just did not change it because nobody thought with the freeway there that anybody would want to do anything with that land except leave it recreation. now we've had all of these challenges over time because the community has not found out the truth because of how this was zoned and with the fed monies of hud and the uses for this property in person petuity. this property is v

cameras can be positioned in space. now that i -- you have the boom of a speilberg for free, what are you going to do with it. >> you are obviously attacking the space center in a different way. as we look at that arc, why are you going after the space ru going after specifically? >> photographer is i am excited about it. we believe that drones will be used from aeg to infrastructure, inspecting power lines, bridges, oil, natural gas, land management, antipoaching operations, some of which we are involved in now. to address such a wide variety of applications, you need a platform. companies aren't leverages a that they can't extend in hardware and software, not having to develop all of that themselves. they can focus on the pieces of hardware and software, meant to be differentiated for the application. that is what we are building. >> and christian, you are addressing a number of challenges in the space. specifically, battery technology, is one that you are doing unique things around. can you talk to us about that? >>

is not is an easy task star king is current undergoing our renovation that reduce our plagiarized space been one half san francisco school district has asked to keep them on campus for the renovation not only will the center help with the greening years in planning but important importantly we feel the negative impacts we've been experience since the popularity like the although, more relay will be exacerbated we're on the come back but fragile we have pre k and special day all of which have complex needs and the continued disruption will hurt us our contingent is deeply intertwined with the school we appreciate the difficult position they're in as we are undergoing our transformation by the way, we want to talk about where the plan is injuries us to our bodies we ask you to not relocate the students anothers daniel webster for the city hall year thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm a parent at star king elementary school i have two children or children a second graders and i also have a student in the program right now the issues at star king are accordin

randi kaye has more on that. >> reporter: the international space station space station orbits the earth 90 minutes, traveling about 17,500 miles per hour, it is an understatement to say the astronauts and cosmonauts on board enjoy a spectacular view. but daily life on board is difficult and at times complicated. even getting clean is difficult, no shower, instead, they use rinses and soap they rub in. on board this laboratory, there are never more than six crew members at a time. they stay for about six months, which can feel like an eternity living on pre-packaged food. >> we use a lot of same items the military uses. >> reporter: every so often, supply ships like the one that exploded this week bring fresh fruit and vegetables. >> a table for six, we don't have plates. of course, we don't need plates in space because again, everything is just thrown away. >> reporter: there are no refrigerators in space, and salt and pepper in liquid form, otherwise the particles would clog the air vents or get in an astronaut's eye. peanut butter is a space station staple. >> a weightless tortilla. >

a ship that was supposed to carry supplies to the space station. jim handly is at our live desk now. jim, we have new information. >> reporter: yeah, vance, we're hearing what was said seconds after the first sign there was something wrong. that explosion. and all we can make out really is we have lost power. then down about 10, 20 seconds after that, we have had a failure of some sort, and then they shifted into their contingency plan. what that means, we don't know. these are live pictures again. and you can see flames off in the distance. still smoke. what was a very dark sky is still lit up, just from the ground up. you can see. and they have got a lot of lights on the ground, because as we mentioned earlier, there is significant damage to property on the ground, significant damage to vehicles. we have rescue crews on the scene right now, because we've heard several alarms going off, and sirens going off from the nasa feed we're getting in right now. we don't have any word on any injuries. again, as we have mentioned time and time again, this w

we've lost in the past years we're lost some office space to conversion something in between a million to 3 million square feet so if we're going to be fair about this we ought to begin with a fairness question i'm looking forward to hearing from our planning commission i know our director is here he's going to be available to talk about prop m but we are carefully looking at all the issues leading up to it but most importantly particularly with you in this room that are great business people we have to have a great conversation with the whole city about prop m housing observing to keep jobs coming here we've got to talk about housing and every growing company from manufacturing to tech we need more housing to support the few range of the workforce and for the growing workforce to sustain our economic growth well into the future you know we've seen people returning to city and counties cities nationwide when all the jobs were going to the suburbia we're a great beautiful urban environmentalist a vibrant community and diverse groups and we're going to have more housing demands we're nau

i don't mean space. what this whole commercial race, space race is about is actually getting people like you and me up at a hundred kilometers from the earth up to a weightlessness environment for about four to six minutes then coming back to earth. it's not about putting people like you and me to spaces like the space station or the moon. this is a hugely competitive industry. as you rightly say as a pilot or astronaut. during this profile where the spaceshiptwo is launched from the mothership at about 50,000 feet, it then disconnects. then the engines would then get into action and this thing would go up to 300,000 foot. >> there's nothing like that test pilot to be able to come back and give the engineers the information and the actuality of exactly how the aircraft performed, how all of the systems coordinated. and there's a real good chance that this pilot if he survives, could tell engineers this is what happened. >> you've just got to go back to the whole -- anyone who's read the right stuff will
