it's important to fly through the van allen - to fly through the van allen radiation belts they are toticles tearing away at the earth's atmosphere and are protecting the earth but they are potentially quite damaging to spacecraft electronics and can stop circuits functioning so it is a test for the electronics and these moments and radiation is damaging for the human body so if we are going to the future, in space, elon musk wants to go to mars come up what he wants to mars come up what he wants to do with spacex, going to mars means flying tributes radiation belts to understanding the levels of radiation that will be exposed on the flights, these missions do you test on human body as well, all of this will be used later. ., ., , ., later. there are more private companies — later. there are more private companies getting _ later. there are more private companies getting involved l later. there are more private| companies getting involved in space. do you think we are in something of an industrial revolution in space, what does this mean for human exploration? it this mean for human ex

future astronauts from ultrasounds to gathering how much radiation as they traveled through the van allen radiation belts. they're going to provide biological samples towards multi omics analysis for long-term effects of being in microgravity. in this kind of spheres of radiation and again, they're going to be even kind of like looking further into that neural ocular syndrome, which a lot in microgravity, all those fluids of the body put a lot of pressure on that acip. it'll bone causing headaches causing some vision problems. so the things that all 36 experiments are too many to really name, they have really set the bar so high that the future of space exploration really is looking at this moment as an acceleration of things to come for humanity's place in space, we're just looking at the clock now, 26 minutes until splashdown malls and they were concerns at the beginning that private citizens what up for the mission, what business did they have? being up in spice considering they were not professional astronauts, does this mission and its success perhaps silence the critics and the delt

you can do this easily, but you go into one region near the van allen belts where you get a radiation dose that's somewhat like 3 times larger than you get if you on the space station for 6 months. but you only dwell or stay there for a short period of time. that's it. any space walk is dangerous and the further where you are, the further where you are. but these folks had it all in hand and figured out and they did their thing and maybe next time, the fluoride to do something work as projected. well, you know what they say? if you're going to take a space walk, you might as well look good while you're doing it. i guess that's what they did today. keep telling from mass or what outcome. he's always good talking with you. thank you. my pleasure. as well. the day continues online. you'll find this on the x also known as twitter and youtube, that dw news, or you can follow with me on social media, break golf tv, and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. we'll leave you with some of the highlights for this weeks or from some highlights from the convention

we're worried about 10,000 satellites and bits of space debris out there and radiation from the van allen bit the earth so there have been a lot of variables here that they really needed to make sure that they navigated perfectly, and boy did they. now, you may be watching at home, thinking, okay, i've seen space walks before, why does this matter? it matters because this is a private company that is doing this. spacex. that has really, i think, by all, you know, everyone's account, has now surpassed nasa in many ways, and certainly boeing in pushing forward new avenues and new ways to get into space. and to really kind of push the envelope, if you will. so now you've had four private citizens, four commercial astronauts, and they have now not only gone into space, but two of them on a space walk, testing out this new technology. i think this is, yet again, turning another chapter in space exploration going forward. >> this is so cool. the level of jealousy at this table, i'm guessing is off the charts, and that includes me. >> tom's a little jealous. >> tom, forget it, he would go out th

they're going to be particularly interested since they went outside the van allen belt and the radiation protection to see what kind of radiation environment they might have been subjected to and what the reaction to that will be obviously with the opening up of the spacecraft and the spacewalk. any effects from that and see how it compares to the rest of the information we have from all the years of spaceflight. did we see anything new? did we spacex learn anything? is there some new information that we can gather out of this mission? >> yeah. so on that, i mean, it was the major accomplishment of course was the spacewalk. what do you think came out of that? what do you think that they will learn from that experience? >> well, number one, they learned an awful lot as they were preparing, designing the system, operating the system, the training of everyone from the ground all the way through the astronauts for that mission. and then there'll be able to stand back and look at little bit us objective eyes. be able to look back at how did it all work and are there any changes we need to mak

crew flew to an even higher altitude than it at right now, but double where it is right into the van allen belt, which is chock full of radiation party that is to really become guinea pigs to see what that radiation exposure is like if you're going to go to mars, you have to contend with that. how do you protect a crew from radiation exposure over a trip that could take many months the idea of the risk is not unlike the way nasa approaches it. you break it down, put it into increments, and sort of manage the risks step-by-step, which is what the process that you saw unfold here. so well, earlier this morning. so it's it's i think about what happened 60 years ago, for example, boris, when the us had its first spacewalk, ed white, 1965, but a few months after the soviet union, it is for a spacewalk. and what we're seeing is kind of the commercial version of that milestone being replicated but the commercial enterprise it seems to be moving so much faster. so we're kind of going back to the future, but i think things are going to accelerate much faster going forward and that is a fascinating

it's a bold and risky trip into earth's van allen radiation belts from a four person crew of civiliansng to conduct the first commercial spacewalk and the drone attack hitting nine in regions in russia overnight, including near the capital of moscow. russia claims have downed 140 drones that were launched by ukraine, at least one person was killed, three others injured by the attack near moscow dramatic video out of vietnam showing a bridge collapsed during a strong typhoon, at least ten vehicles were on the bridge when it collapsed. eight people were killed now, happier story, governor chris sununu being hailed as a hero after saving a contestant choking at a lobster roll, eating competition. >> the governor gave the person behind like before first responders took over there. he is looking bad eventually be stuck piece of lobster was freed you don't see this on the road every day. >> a herd of forces fleeing the smoke from the davis fire in south reno, where hundreds of residents have been forced to evacuate the fire, burning nearly 7,000 acres since saturday. >> very glad those force

of all, they're going hire which in and of itself is not so dangerous, but it puts you into the van allen so there'll be taking today in one day the same amount of radiation dose that i took being up there for three months. now it's not a whole lot. it's about equivalent to about eight ct scans, but you don't want to normally do eight ct scans in one day. so that's a risk. it's also a risk to the equipment on the vehicle because the electronics are bombarded by this it's radiation. they have to be able to withstand it. but the eva is the biggest risk when they go outside in a suit that's never been used outside before by two crew members who are going to go out the hatch that have never been on an eva before that automatically ramps up the risk. but it's also the type of suits that they're using which are fed by umbilicals are hoses connected to that the ship for all their oxygen and further communication and for the cooling. there's only a limited amount of time because it's open-loop you're blowing the oxygen through the suits and exhausting it. and the tanks are going down and going do

every mission is different they're going to be particularly interested since they went outside the van allen belt and the radiation protection to see what kind of radiation environment they might have been subjected to and what the reaction to that will be obviously with the opening up of the spacecraft and the spacewalk. >> any effects from that and see how it compares to the rest of the information we have from all the years of spaceflight. did we see anything new? did we? it spacex learn anything is there some new information that we can gather out of this mission all right. >> after the break, thousands of frustrated protesters in tel aviv are demanding more action on a hostage deal us authorities in georgia released audio from calls they received in the middle of last week's high school shooting. here, what a family member of the accused shooter had to tell police for details just in .'s their take algae relief works fast. it lasts a full 24 hours so zafian viva deliver, dance ok, dave, let's be more than are allergies seize the day with welcome to the now way to network. they switch to

and part of that was to test what happens when you get into what are called the van allen belts, which are supercharged particles that are highly radioactive. and if you're going to go to mars, you have to protect your crew against the exposure to radiation. and so this crew, they became guinea pigs by flying up there to see exactly what kind of radiation dosages they're going to guess. so there's a lot of risk involved in this mission we're watching sarah gillis right now, obviously trying out that space suit next, the mock or rhino moving her hand, she does have one hand graphs on the handrail. >> there. i don't think she's done a look, ma no hand yet she pokes her head out. she may be going back in a little bit right there. hey, kristen, at the risk of upsetting our bosses i do want to say we've been doing spacewalks since the 60s, right so in terms of what this means for the future, instead of the past and just not redoing what americans and humans have done for 60 years now. what's going to make this new and better? >> it's a great point, john. and you look at what spacex is doing

more important than that, they've gone through the van allen radiation belt, so they're studying theonald trump's refusal to say that he wanted ukraine to prevail over the russian invaders. your thoughts on that? how dangerous would a second trump presidency be in light of that not only for ukraine, but also for poland and the rest of europe? >> joe, i almost could not believe that he said that, because what that means for me -- and i served in the united states navy for 25 years. and if the former president doesn't want ukraine to win, to me, that only means one thing, and that's he wants russia to win. you know, his attitude towards autocrats and dictators, sucking up to them, things he said about nato, that with regards to nato, putin can do whatever the hell he wants. these are dangerous ideas. i mean, nato itself and our alliance with our allies, it's really only an idea that we will come to each other's defense. donald trump has made that clear that he just might not do that. and to just want russia to win after they attacked an ally of ours and they put our european allies at
