AND BOB WAS ACTUALLY LEAD OF THE
ASTRONAUT CORPS WHEN I JOINED 
AND THEY WERE SO INSTRUMENTAL.
>> WE'RE ABOUT LESS THAN A 
MINUTE FROM HEARING WHETHER THIS
LAUNCH IS A GO OR A NO-GO.
NASA AND SPACEX OBVIOUSLY WANTED
TWO ASTRONAUTS WHO WERE 
INCREDIBLY EXPERIENCED.
THEY GOT THAT IN DOUG AND BOB, 
BUT THEY ALSO WANTED TWO 
ASTRONAUTS WHO WERE GOING TO 
REPRESENT THIS FIRST MISSION, IF
YOU WILL, INTO THE NEW ERA OF 
SPACE. 
>> BASICALLY IT COMES DOWN TO 
SKILLS IN TERMS OF PILOTS.
THESE ARE THE SKILLS NOT JUST TO
SIT ON A LAUNCH PAD TO ACTUALLY 
DEVELOP THIS VEHICLE TOGETHER 
WITH ANOTHER ENTITY THAT WAS NOT
NASA.
WE HAVE THE SAME KIND OF TEAM 
INCLUDING OUR TEST PILOT FOR 
THAT TEAM, NICOLE MANN. 
>> WE'RE GOING TO LISTEN IN 
RIGHT NOW.
>> ARMED FOR LAUNCH.
>> DRAGON SPACEX, GO FOR LAUNCH.
>> WE'RE 30 SECONDS AWAY.
KATIE, I SEE THE TEARS IN YOUR 
EYES RIGHT NOW.
TALK TO US WHAT'S GOING ON 
INSIDE. 
>> IT'S A BIG DEAL FOR PEOPLE TO
LEAVE THE PLANET.
IT IS SO HARD AND SO MANY PEOPLE
HAVE COME TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS 
HAPPEN.
AND WE'RE WATCHING.

>> EMOTIONAL MOMENT FOR YOU 
RIGHT NOW, KATIE?
>> PEOPLE ON THE GROUND WILL 
HEAR THAT.
[ INAUDIBLE ]
>> N 1 B -- DOWN.
>> KATIE AND CHRISTINE, AS WE 
WATCH, I'M THINKING ABOUT WHAT 
BOB BECKEN TOLD HIS FAMILY 
BEFORE THEY LEFT.
YOU SEE THAT BEAUTIFUL ROCKET, 
CLEAR BLUE SKIES AND HEADED 
STRAIGHT ON ITS MISSION.
>> N 1 D THROTTLE UP. 
>> HOPE TRIUMPHS OVER FEAR IN A 
TIME WHEN OUR COUNTRY NEEDS IT, 
NEEDS TO BE REMINDED OF THAT.
ON THE GROUND THEY CAN ACTUALLY 
FEEL -- YOU CAN PHYSICALLY FEEL 
THAT CRACKLING WE HEAR.
YOU CAN PHYSICALLY FEEL THAT. 
>> WE ARE AT THE KENNEDY SPACE 
CENTER.
BEHIND THEM IS WHERE THE ROCKET 
JUST TOOK OFF.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?
YOU CAN FEEL IT AND HEAR IT.
WALK US THROUGH.
>> WELL, I JUST HAVE TO TELL 
YOU, I'M EMOTIONAL RIGHT NOW 
BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A MOMENT.
AND TO FEEL, WHAT KATIE WAS 
TALKING ABOUT, FEELING THAT 
MOMENT, FEELING THAT GO UP INTO 
THE AIR.
YOU CAN STILL SORT OF FEEL IT.
EXTRAORDINARY HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT 
RIGHT HERE.
SORRY FOR GETTING EMOTIONAL, BUT
IT'S MY FIRST LAUNCH.
SO THERE'S THAT. 
>> CHRISTINE, NOT AT ALL YOUR 
FIRST LAUNCH.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS AS YOU'RE
WATCHING THIS HISTORIC MOMENT. 
>> I JUST COULDN'T BE MORE 
THRILLED.
I'M THINKING ABOUT HOW BOB AND 
DOUG FEEL IN THERE AND HOW 
EXCITED THEY ARE, YOU KNOW.
EVERY MOMENT OF THE DAY WAS 
MOSTLY THE SAME AS WHAT THEY HAD
EXPERIENCED AND THEIR TRAINING 
UNTIL THAT TAKES OFF.
AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING UP AND
AT THIS POINT THEY'VE BEEN GOING
UP FOR SO LONG, THEY KNOW 
THEY'RE NOT STOPPING UNTIL 
THEY'RE IN SPACE.
THAT'S JUST AN INCREDIBLE 
FEELING.
IT'S A NEW ERA WHERE SPACE 
TRAVEL ISN'T JUST LIMITED TO 
SOVEREIGN COUNTRIES AND 
GOVERNMENTS.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO 
BE ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL AND IT'S 
GOING TO BE AN INNOVATIVE THING 
WHERE WE JUST OPEN IT UP.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHERE WE GO 
WITH IT.
>> CAN YOU TALK TO US ABOUT WHAT
WE'RE WATCHING HERE?
THIS IS SORT OF A CRITICAL 
MOMENT. 
>> THAT'S THE FIRST STAGE 
DROPPING AWAY, WE CALL IT MAIN 
ENGINE CUTOFF.
IT'S THE FIRST GIANT PIECE.
WE HAVE USED ALL THAT GAS AND 
NOW IT'S GOING TO FLY ITSELF 
BACK DOWN TO THE RECOVERY SHIP.
IT GOES UP FOR A LONG TIME AND 
GOES BACK DOWN.
WE'LL SEE THAT WITHIN THE NEXT 
FEW MINUTES. 
>> THAT WAS A MAJOR PART OF 
SPACEX'S PROGRAM, THE REUSABLE 
ROCKET TO MAKE THIS, NOT 
AFFORDABLE, BUT TO MAKE IT COST 
EFFECTIVE. 
>> TO BE ABLE TO REUSE THEM 
AGAIN.
WHAT THEY LEARN IN MAKING SURE 
HOW TO MAKE THEM FLY BACK HAS 
BEEN IMMENSE WHY IS IT ELON MUSK
REFERRED TO THAT AS PART OF THE 
HOLY GRAIL OF SPACE FLIGHT, 
ESSENTIALLY SAYING WHY WOULD YOU
THROW AWAY A 747 EVERY TIME THAT
YOU USED IT?
GIVE US A SENSE OF WHAT HAPPENS 
NOW.
IT WILL NOT BE UNTIL TOMORROW 
MORNING OR THE AFTERNOON WHEN 
IT'S ADOPTED DOCK WITH THE 
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION?
>> THIS IS THE -- THE DRAGON 
ITSELF IS STILL POWERING UP IN 
THE STAGE, IT'S IN THE SECOND 
STAGE, NOMINAL TRAJECTORY, I'M 
HEARING.
>> WHAT DOES THAT MEAN WHAT 
WE'RE HEARING RIGHT NOW?
>> THEY'RE SAYING WHEN THE NEXT 
ABORT SITE IS.
ALL THE WAY UP FROM NORTH 
CAROLINA BASICALLY NOVA SCOTIA 
--
>> OR THE DRAGON CAPSULE CAN 
COME OFF.
>> AND THAT PARTICULAR ABORT 
THAT'S AVAILABLE HERE ACTUALLY 
MADE THIS LESS RISKY THAN THE 
INITIAL NASA SPACE SHUTTLE 
FLIGHTS. 
>> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE 
NUMBERS, BUT IT'S REALLY -- 
EXTREMELY VALUABLE TO HAVE THIS 
KIND OF ABORT CAPABILITY NOT 
INTERRUPTED BY, OH, IF IT 
HAPPENS AT THIS TIME, WE CAN'T 
ABORT.
THEY HAVE 50 DIFFERENT ABORT 
SITES FROM THE CAPE UNTIL THEY 
FUEL.
THAT CAPSULE CAN BE PULLED OFF 
THE ROCKET AND BOB AND DOUG 
WOULD LAND IN THE WATER.
NOW IT'S JUST A QUESTION OF IF 
THAT SHOULD HAPPEN, WHERE.
>> CHRISTINA, TALK TO ME ABOUT 
WHAT BOB AND DOUG ARE DOING 
INSIDE THE CAPSULE.
WE CAN SEE THEM ON THE LEFT SIDE
OF THE SCREEN.
WHAT ARE THEY REVIEWING AND WHAT
ARE THEY DOING AT THIS MOMENT?
>> YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE 
ROCKET IN THIS MOMENT.
THEY ARE PROBABLY REVIEWING SOME
OF THE PRESSURES AND DIFFERENT 
SIGNALS THAT THEY'RE GETTING 
TELEMETRY FROM THE ROCKET 
ITSELF.
THEY ARE ON THE SECOND STAGE, SO
THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BE 
PROPELLED INTO SPACE EIGHT 
MINUTES INTO THE TOTAL FLIGHT.
MONITORING ISN'T AS SIMPLE AS 
LOOKING AT GAGES.
EVERYTHING IS VIBRATING AND 
THEY'RE HAVING G FORCES ON THEM.
SO LISTENING TO COMMUNICATION IS
A BIG JOB. 
>> I'M GOING TO ASK OUR DIRECTOR
IF HE CAN BY CHANCE GO BACK TO 
THE INITIAL LIFTOFF WHEN THE 
ROCKET TOOK OFF WHEN IT WAS A 
GO.
I WANT TO BRING IN BACK COLONEL 
STEVE GANN YARD.
YOUR COLLEAGUE IS HEADED FOR THE
COSMOS.
I UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU SAW THE 
ROCKET TAKE OFF, IT WAS A PRETTY
EMOTIONAL MOMENT FOR YOU AS 
WELL.
>> IT WAS.
YOU KNOW, IT WAS LIKE GIO, IT'S 
HARD NOT TO BE AFFECTED, THE 
NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO MAKE THIS 
HAPPEN AND THE U.S. TO GO BACK 
TO SPACE AND TO THINK ABOUT THIS
IN THE BROADER CONTEXT FOR WHAT 
IT MEANS FOR HUMAN KIND TO GO 
OUT AND TRULY COLONIZE, TO BRING
IN THIS GOLDEN AGE OF SPACE 
EXPLORATION. 
>> YOUR FRIEND, DOUG HURLEY, 
HE'S AN ASTRONAUT LIKE THE OTHER
ASTRONAUTS WE HAVE JOINING US ON
THIS BROADCAST.
HE'S SOMEBODY WHO'S DETECTED HIS
LIFE TO THIS.
IT IS NOT AN EASY LIFE.
IT IS GLAMOROUS FOR THE 
LAUNCHES, BUT IT IS A VERY 
DIFFICULT LIFE.
YOUR FAMILY HAS TO MAKE A LOT OF
SACRIFICES.
TALK TO US ABOUT DOUG A LITTLE 
BIT. 
>> HE'S ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT 
JUST EVERYBODY WOULD LIKE.
IF YOU MET HIM IN A BAR, HE'S 
THE GUY WHO'S NOT TOO LOUD, BUT 
LOUD ENOUGH WHERE YOU WANT TO 
HEAR HIS STORIES.
HE'S THE KIND OF GUY THAT 
ANYBODY WOULD LOVE TO BE LIKE, 
THAT PEOPLE WOULD WANT THEIR 
SONS AND DAUGHTERS TO GROW UP 
LIKE.
HE'S A GREAT ROLE MODEL, AND BOB
IS TOO FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD SO 
THAT'S PART OF HOW NASA SELECTS 
ITS ASTRONAUTS.
THEY'RE ONLY HIGHLY CAPABLE AND 
WILLING TO FACE THE DANGERS OF 
TRAVELING IN SPACE, BUT THEY'RE 
ALSO JUST GREAT PEOPLE.
THEY'RE PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP THE 
REST OF THE WORLD UNDERSTAND 
SCIENCE AND TO APPRECIATE THE 
KIND OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 
THAT'S GOING INTO SPACE 
EXPLORATION.
SO HE'S A GREAT AMBASSADOR FOR 
NASA AS IS BOB AND IT'S A GREAT 
THING TO WATCH. 
>> STEVE, I GOT TO ASK YOU 
DOUG'S NICKNAME AND THE STORY 
BEHIND THAT.
>> I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT.
ANYBODY THAT SAW "WAYNE'S 
WORLD," MAYBE YOU CAN THINK BACK
TO THAT.
DOUG AND I HAVE A MUTUALLY -- WE
WON'T TALK ABOUT OUR PERSONAL 
CALL SIGNS ON TV.
>> ALL RIGHT.
COLONEL STEVE GANYARD.
JUST IN HIS STATE OF THE UNION 
ADDRESS, PRESIDENT TRUMP IN 
FEBRUARY SAID HOW NECESSARY IT 
IS FOR THE U.S. TO BE THE FIRST 
COUNTRY TO BE ABLE TO PLANT ITS 
FLAG ON MARS.
WHY IS SPACE EXPLORATION -- NOT 
FROM A FINANCIAL PERSPECTIVE, 
FROM BUT FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE 
AS ASTRONAUTS, WHY IS THAT SO 
IMPORTANT AND WHY WOULD 
PRESIDENT TRUMP SAY IT'S SO 
IMPORTANT, FOR EXAMPLE, FOR THE 
UNITED STATES TO BE THE FIRST 
COUNTRY TO PLANT THEIR FLAG ON 
MARS?
>> IT'S ABOUT PEOPLE.
PEOPLE -- I MEAN, HAVING GONE TO
SPACE, I ALWAYS THOUGHT SPACE 
WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE.
ONCE YOU GET THERE, YOU REALIZE 
THAT EARTH IS JUST BIGGER THAN 
YOU THOUGHT.
HOME IS BIGGER THAN WE THOUGHT.
OUR PLACE AS THIS UNIVERSE AND 
EXPLORING FURTHER AND FURTHER IS
WHAT WE DO.
IT WILL BE INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES 
THAT LEAD THIS, BUT WE'LL BE 
DOING IT TOGETHER. 
>> SEEMED LIKE YOU WANTED TO 
ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
ALSO CURIOUS, JUST GIVE US A 
SENSE FOR MOST OF US WHO HAVE 
NEVER BEEN ON THE INTERNATIONAL 
SPACE STATION WHAT THEY'RE ABOUT
TO BE GREETED BY?
>> WELL, IT'S AN AMAZING FEEL 
WHEN YOU COME THROUGH THAT HATCH
BECAUSE THE FIRST THING YOU SEE 
IS THE FACE OF SOMEONE THAT YOU 
TRUST A CREW MEMBER, WHO I 
COULDN'T KNOW HAS GOT YOUR BACK.
FINALLY AFTER BEING IN A SMALL 
CAPSULE FOR MANY, MANY HOURS AND
IN THEIR CASE, ALMOST 20 HOURS, 
THEY KNOW THEY'RE HOME AND THEY 
KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE WELL 
TAKEN CARE OF.
YOU KNOW, YOU START RIGHT AWAY 
LEARNING HOW TO LIVE THIS NEW 
LIFE IN MICROGRAVITY CARRYING 
OUT YOUR TASKS AND DUTIES.
IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE 
THAT SHIFT FROM TEST PILOT TO 
BEING IN IT FOR THE LANGUAGE 
HAUL AND I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO
DO AN AWESOME JOB. 
>> I WAS JUST HEARING AWESOME 
WORDS, THEY'VE GOTTEN TO SPACE 
AND THEY'RE IN ORBIT.
>> SO THAT IS A MAJOR MOMENT 
HERE.
THEY HAVE ENTERED SPACE.
IF YOU'VE WATCHING THE BROADCAST
ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN,
WE'RE GETTING FEEDS FROM SPACEX 
AND NASA.
WHAT WE JUST SAW, I DON'T KNOW 
IF THE MOMENT JUST HAPPENED, BUT
IT LOOKS LIKE THE ROCKET BOOSTER
JUST RELANDED, RIGHT?
>> THAT WAS THE BOOSTER.
>> THAT WAS THE BOOSTER.
SO THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
IT JUST LAUNCHED INTO SPACE AND 
IT JUST CAME DOWN.
THAT WAS ALSO A SUCCESSFUL 
LANDING ONTO THE SHIP.
JUST BEFORE THAT IT UNTO THERE. 
>> I THINK THEY WERE CALLING 
THEY'RE LOOKING IN A NOMINAL -- 
BECAUSE IN LESS THAN ONE MINUTE 
FROM NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 
SEPARATION.
EXPLAIN TO US WHAT THAT PROCESS 
IS. 
>> THAT MEANS WE'RE ACTUALLY 
GOING TO BE DONE USING THE 
SECOND STAGE AND "DRAGON" WILL 
ACTUALLY SEPARATE. 
>> IT'S A NICE MODEL, BUT THIS 
IS BASIC.
IT'S NOT SKYWALKER RANCH HERE.
BUT YOU HAVE THE FALCON ROCKET 
AND THE DRAGON CAPSULE.
THIS ESSENTIALLY COMES OFF AND 
TAKES OFF FROM THERE. 
>> EXACTLY. 
>> DOUG AND BOB ARE IN HERE AND 
THEY'RE GOING FROM HERE STRAIGHT
TO THE SPACE STATION. 
>> THAT'S CORRECT. 
>> THE CAPSULE ITSELF IS NOT 
THAT LARGE. 
>> IT'S LARGER THAN WHAT YOU 
THINK OF FOR "APOLLO" AND 
"GEMINI."
THE BOTTOM PART IS GOING TO 
STICK WITH IT.
BUT THEY'RE LIVING IN THE TOP 
TRIANGULAR PART THERE.
PHYSICS DOESN'T CHANGE. 
>> CURIOUS TO GET BOTH OF YOUR 
PERSPECTIVES.
WHAT YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT BEING 
IN SPACE, WHAT YOU LOVE MOST 
ABOUT THIS MOMENT THAT THEY'RE 
FEELING RIGHT NOW AND BEYOND. 
>> WELL, THE THING I LOVE MOST 
PERSONALLY THROUGHOUT MY MISSION
WAS BEING ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE AND
GIVE BACK.
IT'S SOMETHING I'VE HELD IN SUCH
HIGH REGARD MY ENTIRE LIFE.
SO TO BE ABLE TO WORK ON IT DAY 
IN AND DAY OUT WAS SUCH A 
PRIVILEGE.
THE MOMENT THEY'RE IN RIGHT NOW 
IS UNFORGETTABLE.
THEY'RE FLOATING OUT OF THEIR 
SEATS A LITTLE BIT FOR THE FIRST
TIME.
THEY'RE IN MICROGRAVITY.
FOR ME IT WAS MY FIRST TIME AND 
I LOOKED OVER AT MY CREW MATE 
WHO WAS ALSO A ROOKIE AND WE 
SMILED AT EACH OTHER AND WE KNEW
WE HAD GOTTEN THERE.
MAYBE IT'S THEIR FIRST TIME TO 
PEEK OUT THE WINDOW TO SEE 
EARTH, WHICH IS ANOTHER 
PHENOMENAL MOMENT.
PROBABLY FOR A LITTLE WHILE 
THEY'RE GOING TO BE MONITORING 
THE SYSTEMS.
THIS IS A BIG PERIOD WHERE 
THEY'RE MAKING SURE EVERYTHING 
IS WORKING AS EXPECTED.
DESPITE THAT, THEY'RE PRETTY 
HAPPY.
>> LET'S LISTEN IN.
>> "DRAGON" SEPARATION 
CONFIRMED. 
>> SEPARATION CONFIRMED.
BIG SMILES FROM BOTH OF YOU 
HERE.
>> DOWNDOWN ONE IS UNMERGED.
>> THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE MOMENT 
RIGHT HERE.
SPACEX, TWO ASTRONAUTS, A 
PRIVATE COMPANY ALONG WITH NASA.
I KNOW WE ARE STILL VERY FAR 
FROM MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, BUT 
SO FAR, WHERE WE ARE, 
INCREDIBLE. 
>> THIS IS THE SAFEST PLACE TO 
BE IF YOU'RE NOT ON EARTH. 
>> BOBBING DOUG, THANKS FOR 
FLYING WITH US.
HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE RIDE.
WISHING YOU A GREAT MISSION.
>> WE WON'T BE ABLE TO HEAR --
>> CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE FIRST
HUMAN RIDE FOR FALCON 9.
IT WAS INCREDIBLE.
APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK AND
THANKS FOR THE GREAT RIDE TO 
SPACE.
>> COPY.
YOU GUYS AND THE REST OF THE 
TEAM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT
YOU'VE DONE FOR US TODAY, 
PUTTING AMERICA BACK INTO LOWER 
ORBIT FROM THE FLORIDA COAST.
>> COPY.
GOOD LUCK AND GOD SPEED.
>> GOD SPEED.
SO NEXT THEY'RE GOING TO STAY 
FOR A MINIMUM OF ONE MONTH, A 
MAXIMUM OF JUST OVER 100 DAYS.
GIVE US A SENSE OF WHAT THE 
MISSION IS NOW.
>> RIGHT NOW THEY'RE GETTING 
READY FOR THE RENDEZVOUS.
TOMORROW IS WHEN THEY DOCK.
IT TAKES 8 1/2 DAYS TO GET TO 
SPACE AND A DAY AND A HALF TO 
PARALLEL PARK.
THEY'RE GOING TO APPROACH THE 
SPACE STATION AND BEFORE THEY DO
THAT, THIS IS STILL A TEST 
MISSION.
EVERY SINGLE MINUTE IS A TEST 
MISSION.
THEY GOT WELL-THOUGHT-OUT TESTS 
TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE BEHAVED 
LIKE WE THOUGHT IT WOULD AND 
DOES EVERYTHING LOOK GOOD FOR 
DOCKING.
THERE'S A LOT TO DO BETWEEN NOW 
AND TOMORROW MORNING.
IT'S LIKE A BALLET UP IN SPACE.
THEY'LL BE CATCHING UP WITH THE 
SPACE STATION.
THEY'RE IN ORBIT A LITTLE LOWER 
THAN THE SPACE STATION, AND SO 
THEY GO AROUND A LITTLE FASTER 
AND THEN THEY WILL ACTUALLY DO A
BURN TO CATCH UP WITH THE 
STATION.
THAT BALLET HAPPENS OVER THE 
NEXT 19 HOURS. 
>> TELL US ABOUT DOUG AND BOB 
INSIDE THE CAPSULE.
ARE THEY NAVIGATING THE CAPSULE 
OR ESSENTIALLY IS IT ON 
AUTOPILOT AND THEY'RE WORRIED 
ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE. 
>> IT SHOULD BE ON AUTOPILOT.
ONE THING ABOUT THE SPACEX "CREW
DRAGON" CAPSULE IS IT COULD BE 
COMPLETELY AUTOMATED THROUGHOUT 
THE MISSION, INCLUDING 
RENDEZVOUS AND DOCKING.
IT IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND TO 
ACTUALLY DO THAT.
NOW, THEY DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO
TAKE OVER MANUALLY.
BECAUSE THIS IS A TEST MISSION, 
THEY'RE GOING TO PRACTICE THAT 
ABILITY AND TEST IT OUT BOTH 
NEAR AND FAR FROM THE 
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY DRIVING,
BUT THEY'RE PAYING CLOSE 
ATTENTION TO HOW THE AUTOMATED 
SYSTEMS ARE RESPONDING.
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WHEN IT POPS
OFF THE END OF THE ROCKET, THE 
LESS NO GUARANTEE TO ORIENTATION
AND ATTITUDE.
IT HAS TO USE ALL THE SYSTEMS TO
FIGURE OUT WHERE IT IS IN SPACE,
AND MAKE SURE IT'S BELLY DOWN 
AND NOSE FORWARD GOING AROUND 
THE EARTH.
SO BOB AND DOUG ARE MAKING SURE 
ALL THE SYSTEMS ARE WORKING 
GREAT, THEY'RE READY TO REACT IN
CASE ANYTHING DOESN'T GO AS 
EXPECTED.
HOPEFULLY THEY'RE WATCHING THE 
SYSTEMS COME ONLINE ANOMALY.
THEY'RE IN A CLOSED-LOOP LIFE 
SUPPORT SITUATION.
EVERYTHING WENT THROUGH A LOT OF
VIBRATIONS ON LAUNCH. 
>> WE SPOKE ABOUT THE REUSABLE 
ROCKET WE HEARD YOU MENTION.
IT LANDED BACK ON A SHIP AT SEA.
WE HAVE THE VIDEO.
THIS WAS THE SELLING POINT FOR 
NASA AND SPACEX.
THEY PROMISED THEY COULD DO 
THIS.
IT TOOK THEM A WHILE AND THEY 
FIGURED IT OUT.
THIS WAS JUST THE MOMENT RIGHT 
AFTER IT LANDED BACK ON THAT 
SHIP.
YOU CAN STILL SEE SOME OF THE 
THRUSTERS AS WE SEE SOME OF THE 
SMOKE COME OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE
ROCKET.
BUT AN INCREDIBLE MOMENT, 
INCREDIBLE TECHNOLOGY.
KATIE AS YOU WATCH THIS, DOES 
SPACEX IMPRESS YOU MORE AND MORE
AS YOU'VE SEEN THEIR JOURNEY 
FROM ONCE THEY GOT INTO THE 
SPACE RACE AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN 
TODAY?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
I MEAN, I LOVE THAT THEY BRING 
THINGS THAT ARE NEW, NEW WAYS OF
THINKING AND DOING.
THEY AND THE NASA TEAM FIGURED 
IT OUT A WAY TO WORK ON THIS 
TOGETHER, WHICH TAKES, I THINK, 
BEING BRAVE ENOUGH TO SAY THIS 
IS WHAT WE SEE, THIS IS WHAT WE 
CAN DO, AND NASA GOING, THAT'S A
DIFFERENT WAY AND VICE VERSA.
IT'S PRETTY COOL PARTNERSHIP AND
IT PAVES THE WAY FOR OTHER 
PARTNERSHIPS AS WELL.
>> JUST TO GET A SENSE OF WHAT 
THAT PARTNERSHIP MEANS, WAS IT 
NECESSARY IN YOUR OPINION FOR 
SPACE FLIGHT TO REINVENT ITSELF 
FOR THE 21st CENTURY. 
>> YEAH.
I THINK IF ELON MUSK WERE WITH 
US RIGHT NOW, HE WOULD TELL YOU 
SPACEX STOOD ON THE SHOULDERS OF
NASA.
TO KATIE'S POINT PREVIOUSLY, 
THIS IS A PUBLIC/PRIVATE 
PARTNERSHIP.
YOU'RE TAKING THE BEST OF THE 
GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIVATE 
SECTOR AND THAT'S THE TRIUMPH 
HERE TODAY.
THIS IS TRIUMPH THAT'S GOING TO 
DRIVE THE COST, INCREASE THE 
SAFETY, RELIABLE LAUNCH TO ORBIT
THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW US TO PUT 
COLONIES ON OTHER PLANETS. 
>> GIVE US A SENSE WHY NASA IS 
NO LONGER LAUNCHING ASTRONAUTS 
ITSELF.
WHY INVOLVE PRIVATE FIRMS?
>> GOVERNMENT -- YOU KNOW, IF WE
LOOK AT THE COVID RESPONSE, 
RIGHT?
NOT GREAT.
SO IF WE LEAVE THINGS 
EXCLUSIVELY TO GOVERNMENT, THEY 
AREN'T AS AGILE.
THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS FASTER, 
QUICKER, BETTER, CHEAPER, BUT 
YOU NEED GOVERNMENT IN SOMETHING
LIKE THIS WHERE BIG SCIENCE IS 
INVOLVED.
SO THIS PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN NASA
AND SPACEX AND IN THE FUTURE 
THERE'S LOTS OF OTHER COMPANIES 
INVOLVED.
IT'S NOT JUST SPACEX.
WE HAVE JEFF BEZOS AND BLUE 
ORIGIN COMING ALONG.
HE'S NIPPING AT THE HEELS OF 
ELON MUSK.
BEZOS IS SPENDING A BILLION 
DOLLARS WITH A "B" OF HIS OWN 
MONEY TO GET TO THE MOON.
AND YOU HAVE THESE COMPETING 
VISIONS WHERE ELON MUSK WANTS TO
GO PUT A COLONY ON MARS AND JEFF
BEZOS WANTS THE COLONY ON THE 
MOON.
SO YOU HAVE THESE TWO 
ENTREPRENEURS, THE RICHEST GUY 
IN THE WORLD AND THE 31st 
RICHEST GUYS IN THE WORLD 
PUTTING THEIR OWN MONEY DOWN TO 
SECURE A PERSONAL LEGACY, TO 
SECURE A PERSONAL DREAM THAT 
MOST OF THE REST OF THE WORLD 
SHARES.
AND THAT IS TO GET TO SPACE AND 
CREATE COLONIES AND EXPLORE NEW 
WORLDS AND ADVANCE SCIENCE. 
>> REWATCHING THAT LAUNCH 
DOESN'T GET OLD.
KATIE, YOU WANTED TO COMMENT?
>> I THINK WITH ALL THESE 
COMPANIES AND THE PARTNERSHIPS 
WITH GOVERNMENT, GOVERNMENT HAS 
THE PUBLIC TRUST.
WE ARE THE SHEPHERDS OF THE 
TAXPAYERS' DOLLARS.
AND THEN YOU HAVE INNOVATIVE 
COMPANIES THAT CAN TAKE BIGGER 
RISKS NOT WITH PEOPLE, BUT WITH 
HARDWARE.
BY THEM BEING ABLE TO SAY LET'S 
TRY IT THIS WAY, SOMETHING THAT 
WOULD BE HARDER FOR THE 
BUREAUCRACY OF THE U.S. TO DO, 
BY DOING THAT, THEY ACTUALLY GO 
SEVERAL STEPS AND IT BRING US 
EVERYBODY WITH THEM.
THAT'S THE GENERAL PRINCIPLE 
WE'RE USING TO BASICALLY GET TO 
MARS FASTER.
>> HOW HAS THE MARRIAGE BEEN, 
THOUGH?
YOU DO REALLY HAVE SORT OF TWO 
VERY DIFFERENT SPOUSES IN NASA 
AND ELON MUSK.
RIGHT?
YEAH.
HOW HAS THIS MARRIAGE WORKED AND
WHAT IS THE REAL STORY?
RESULTS MATTER.
THERE ARE RESULTS RIGHT NOW, 
WE'RE WATCHING THEM UP CLOSE.
YOU HAVE THE REBEL BILLIONAIRE 
AND THE BY-THE-BOOK AGENCY. 
>> THE WAY PEOPLE TALK TO EACH 
OTHER, YOU CAN TELL THAT THEY 
HAVE FIGURED THEMSELVES OUT.
THEY HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO 
FORGE RELATIONSHIPS.
THE MISSION IS THE SAME.
IS MISSION IS TO EXPLORE AND TO 
GO FURTHER AND TO BUILD THE 
HARDWARE AND MAKE SURE THAT 
BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, A DIVERSE 
BUNCH OF PEOPLE CAN GET TO GO 
AND NOT JUST A FEW.
I SEE THE BRIDGES IN BETWEEN 
INDIVIDUAL DISCIPLINES.
THEY'RE WATCHING MOVIES TOGETHER
DURING THE QUARANTINE.
THEY HAD THE FLIGHT CONTROL O 
SPACEX AND -- THERE'S A SHOW 
THAT WAS A FAVORITE. 
>> CHRISTINA, CURIOUS IF WE CAN 
PIGGY BACK ON THAT.
YOUR THOUGHTS ON SPACE TOURISM 
AND THE IDEA OF SHOULD SPACE 
JUST BE OPEN FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE
EXPERIENCE OR COME ONE AND ALL?
>> I AM DEFINITELY IN THE COME 
ONE AND ALL CAMP.
I THINK THAT'S THE PREVAILING 
THEORY.
NASA JOB WAS TO I THINK BAIT 
THIS UNTIL IT WAS COMMERCIALLY 
VIABLE.
THAT'S WHEN IT'S BETTER TO HAND 
IT OFF TO COMPANIES LIKE 
SPACEX -- 
[ INAUDIBLE ]
NOT QUITE YET BE VIABLE -- TO 
GET THEM TO THIS POINT.
THAT'S LIKE GOING BACK A DECADE 
AND EVENTUALLY -- 
[ INAUDIBLE ]
I THINK ANYONE WHO'S CURIOUS, 
ANYONE WHO HAS AN IDEA TO BRING 
HUMANITY WITH THEM AND SHARE IT 
WHEN THEY GET BACK TO CONTRIBUTE
TO THE SCIENCE TO THE FRONTIERS,
I WELCOME THEM.
THAT'S WHY THIS ERA TODAY WE'RE 
STARTING IS SO AMAZING. 
>> THEY WON'T ATTACH TO THE 
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION 
UNTIL TOMORROW.
>> I THINK IT'S 19 HOURS IS THE 
TOTAL.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY GET
A CHANCE -- THEY'RE DOING A LOT 
OF THINGS RIGHT NOW, CHECKING 
OUT THINGS.
THERE'S A LOT OF SHAKING THAT 
GOES ON, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE 
EVERYTHING IS IN GOOD SHAPE.
AFTER THEY'RE DONE WITH A BUNCH 
OF TESTS, THEY'LL PROBABLY TAKE 
THEIR SUITS OFF.
THEY HAVE FOOD UP THERE.
THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM TO MOVE 
AROUND.
EVENTUALLY THE ASTRONAUTS WILL 
GO TO BED. 
>> SO THEY WILL SLEEP.
TOM BROUGHT THIS UP, RIDING 
ITSELF AT A CERTAIN POINT ON 
AUTOPILOT.
BUT THEY'LL BOTH GO TO SLEEP AT 
THE SAME TIME?
BUT ONE PERSON IS -- 
>> ALWAYS ON WATCH?
>> AS I UNDERSTAND, THE PILOTS 
SLEEP AT THE SAME TIME.
BEING READY FOR THAT CRITICAL --
I'M BEING FUNNY ABOUT IT, BUT 
BEING READY FOR THAT CRITICAL 
OPERATION OF DOCKING IS 
IMPERATIVE.
THEY'VE HAD A LONG DAY, SO SLEEP
IS YOUR JOB, THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL 
DO.
AT THE SAME TIME THEY HAVE 
ALARMS INSIDE THE VEHICLE THERE.
I'M SURE THEY'RE GOING TO BE 
WATCHING AND THE GROUND IS 
WATCHING THEM AS WELL. 
>> CHRISTINA, I KNOW YOU SET THE
RECORD FOR THE LONGEST TIME IN 
THE SPACE STATION BY A WOMAN 
NEARLY A YEAR, INCREDIBLE.
ONE OF THE RESEARCH PROJECTS YOU
WORKED WAS WHAT SORT OF BEING IN
SPACE THAT LONG DOES TO THE 
HUMAN BODY.
WHAT DID YOU FIGURE OUT AND WHAT
DID YOU LEARN?
AND WHY ON THIS MISSION WITH 
DOUG AND BOB IS THERE A SLIDING 
SCALE, IT COULD BE A FEW MONTHS 
OR 110 DAYS.
EXPLAIN THAT. 
>> SURE.
SOME THINGS WE'RE LOOKING TO 
FIND OUT IS WHAT IS NORMAL FOR 
THE HUMAN BODY AFTER UP TO YEAR 
IN SPACE AND HOPEFULLY LONGER 
EVENTUALLY AS WE'RE GOING TO 
LOOK INTO ARCHITECTURES FOR MARS
MISSIONS.
I THINK WHAT WE FIND IS WHAT 
THINGS PLATEAU IN TERMS OF YOUR 
PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES AND WHAT 
THINGS MAYBE KEEP GETTING 
DIFFERENT AND KEEP ADAPTING THAT
WE HAVE TO MAYBE WATCH AND 
COMING UP WITH NEW 
COUNTERMEASURES FOR.
OUR EXERCISE PROGRAM IS 
EXCELLENT, SO WE KEEP THAT 
CARDIOVASCULAR GOING FOR HEALTH.
FOR BOB AND DOUG, I THINK THERE 
ARE A COUPLE DIFFERENT FACTORS 
THAT AFFECT WHEN THEY CAN COME 
HOME.
ONE IS THE READINESS OF THE NEXT
VEHICLE.
IT'S GOING THROUGH ITS FINAL, 
YOU KNOW, PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION
AND DELIVERY.
SO WE'LL SEE HOW THAT PANS OUT.
OBVIOUSLY RIGHT NOW THE GOAL IS 
LATE AUGUST, I BELIEVE.
ALSO THINGS LIKE ARE THE SOLAR 
RAISE GOING TO PERFORM BETTER OR
WORSE THAN EXPECTED?
THAT COULD CHANGE HIS MAXIMUM 
POSSIBLE DURATION.
THERE'S OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
AND CONSTRAINTS.
ARE THEY GOING TO DO SPACE 
WALKS, GET NEW BATTERIES 
INSTALLED.
AND WEATHER.
THERE'S A LOT MORE WEATHER SITES
TO CHECK TO CHECK FOR THE 
LANDING SITES.
THERE'S A FEW DIFFERENT FACTORS 
THAT WE'RE PLAYING.
WHAT I LOVE IS NASA IS NIMBLE 
ENOUGH TO PLAY WITH THOSE 
FACTORS AND RECOGNIZE WE DON'T 
HAVE TO PIN IT DOWN RIGHT NOW.
WE CAN BE FLEXIBLE AND NIMBLE. 
>> TO THE POINT THAT BOB AND 
DOUG ARE BOTH DADS.
AND YOU HAVE A SON WHO IS NOW 
19.
BUT YOU WERE STILL ABLE TO 
COMMUNICATE WITH HIM EVERY 
NIGHT?
GIVE US A SENSE OF THE REGIMEN 
WITH STAYING IN CONTACT AT HOME?
>> WE CAN ACTUALLY CALL OUR 
FAMILIES FOR AT LEAST 40 MINUTES
OF EVERY HOUR IF WE WANTED TO, 
WHICH NOBODY HAS TIME FOR THAT.
BUT I SPOKE TO MY FAMILY EVERY 
DAY EXCEPT FOR THREE IN ALMOST 
SIX MONTHS. 
>> WE USED TO HAVE VIDEO 
CONFERENCES ONCE A WEEK.
IT MIGHT BE BETTER THAN THAT.
BUT YOU FIND WAYS TO BE IN TOUCH
AND BE TOGETHER.
MY SON AND I USED TO READ 
STORIES. 
>> YOU BROUGHT YOUR FLUTE UP 
WITH YOU INTO SPACE.
THE FIRST EVER DUET FROM SPACE 
AND ON THE GROUND. 
>> THIS IS IAN ANDERSON.
I LOVE THAT HE BROUGHT THE FLUTE
TO ROCK MUSIC AND HE BROUGHT A 
WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE WITH HIM.
AND SO I WROTE TO HIM AND JUST 
SAID I'M GOING TO GO TO THE 
SPACE STATION AND I WONDER IF I 
CAN TAKE YOUR FLUTE WITH ME.
ON THE DAY, THE FIRST DAY OF 
THIS DUET, HE WAS IN RUSSIA 
PLAYING A CONCERT.
IT WAS APRIL 12th, 2011, THE 
50th ANNIVERSARY OF HUMAN SPACE 
FLIGHT.
HE WAS IN RUSSIA.
I WAS LIVING ON THE SPACE 
STATION AND WE PLAYED THIS DUET 
TOGETHER.
>> WELL, IT'S DEFINITELY 
DIFFERENT.
NONETHELESS, INCREDIBLY COOL.
I GOT TO THINK EVEN THOUGH YOU 
HAVE A WHOLE NATION BEHIND YOU 
AND ROOTING YOU ON IN SPACE, AT 
MOMENTS IT HAS TO GET SO LONELY 
AND YOU HAVE TO CUT LOOSE AND 
WHIP OUT THE JAZZ FLUTE AND JUST
GO WILD, RIGHT?
I MEAN, AFTER YOU'RE UP THERE 
FOR SO LONG. 
>> THE BIG SECRET IS THAT PEOPLE
HAVE THESE IMAGES OF CAPSULE, 
BUT THAT SPACE STATION IS LIKE 
TEN SCHOOL BUSES WITHOUT SEATS 
IN THEM CONNECTED TOGETHER IN 
DIFFERENT ANGLES.
IT'S HUGE, FILLED WITH SCIENCE 
EXPERIMENTS THAT CAN'T BE DONE 
DOWN HERE.
IT'S THE MOST AMAZING PLACE TO 
LIVE.
I WOULD HAVE STAYED ANOTHER SIX 
MONTHS IN A MINUTE. 
>> GIO, IT'S A DIFFERENT SCENE 
THAN IT WOULD BE OUTSIDE OF A 
PANDEMIC.
CERTAINLY, YOU WOULD HAVE MANY 
PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING.
GIVE US A SENSE OF WHAT YOU ARE 
OBSERVING FROM ON THE GROUND AND
IF YOU'RE ABLE TO KIND OF GIVE 
US A READ ON THE ENERGY THERE.
>> PEOPLE WERE JUST SO EXCITED, 
LINDSEY.
THEY CLEARED IT OUT, BUT THIS 
WHOLE LAWN WAS PACKED WITH 
PEOPLE AS PEOPLE WERE JUST 
WATCHING THIS LAUNCH.
BY THE WAY, I GOT TO JUST SAY, 
KATIE AND CHRISTINA, THEY'RE 
INCREDIBLY MODEST.
YOU KNOW HOW THEY TELL US YOU 
SHOULD KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT 
EVERYTHING?
WELL, ASTRONAUTS NEED TO KNOW A 
LOT ABOUT EVERYTHING.
THEY ARE JUST THE SMARTEST 
PEOPLE THAT I'VE INTERVIEWED SO 
FAR BECAUSE THEY GO IN WITH SOME
EXPERTISE AND THEY HAVE TO KNOW 
A BIT ABOUT EVERYTHING, 
INCLUDING HOW TO DO THEIR OWN 
SURGERY BECAUSE THEY'RE 
OBVIOUSLY ALONE.
THEY'RE ON THAT SHIP, ON THAT 
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
BY THE WAY, I SHOULD TELL YOU 
THAT TOMORROW MORNING, 10:30 
A.M. EASTERN IS WHERE THEY ARE 
EXPECTED TO DOCK AT THE ISS.
AT 12:45 EASTERN IS WHEN THEY 
WILL DO THE HATCH OPENING INTO 
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION 
AND THAT'S WHERE THEY HAVE THE 
WELCOME CEREMONY. 
>> COULD YOU SENSE THE PRESSURE 
FROM STAFFERS, THE PRESSURE 
THAT, YOU KNOW, ALL EYES WERE ON
THIS LAUNCH, IT HAD TO BE A 
SUCCESSFUL MISSION FOR A VARIETY
OF REASONS, OF COURSE, BECAUSE 
WE HAD TWO AMERICANS ABOARD THE 
CAPSULE BUT ALSO JUST TO PUSH 
FORWARD THE SPACE PROGRAM IN 
AMERICA BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME 
VERY AMBITIOUS PROJECTS DOWN THE
ROAD. 
>> I SPOKE WITH THE NASA 
ADMINISTRATOR AND HE SAID THAT 
ONE OF THE PROJECTS HE'S MOST 
EXCITED ABOUT IS THE IDEA OF 3D 
PRINTING ORGANS.
THAT'S SOMETHING YOU COULD DO IN
THE MICROGRAVITY IN SPACE.
THEY WANTED THIS TO SUCCEED AND 
THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE, 
THOUGH, THAT BOB AND DOUG WERE 
BOTH SAFE AS THEY DID IT. 
>> CURIOUS IF YOU'RE AWARE OF 
THIS STORY, KATIE.
YOU PROBABLY ARE.
THERE'S THE AMERICAN FLAG THAT 
FLEW ON THE FIRST SHUTTLE.
SOUNDS LIKE THERE WAS A -- WHO 
WAS GOING TO BE BRINGING IT 
BACK.
>> FROM THE LAST SHUTTLE FLIGHT 
, THAT FLAG ACTUALLIENT UP TO 
THE SPACE STATION AND WAS --
>> DOUG BROUGHT IT. 
>> AND HIS COMMANDER, CHRIS 
FERGUSON, WHO IS THE COMMANDER 
OF THE BOEING LAUNCH THAT WILL 
BE COMING SOON, RIGHT?
AND SO HERE'S THE COMMANDER AND 
PILOT RIGHT GUY FOR WHOSE 
COMMERCIAL PARTNER SPACECRAFT 
WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO 
RETRIEVE THE FLAG AND BRING IT 
BACK HOME. 
>> SPACEX. 
>> YOU DON'T LIKE TO SEE IT'S 
DONE UNTIL IT'S DONE, BUT IT'S 
LOOKING PRETTY GOOD FOR SPACEX. 
>> CHRISTINA, WE'RE TALKING 
ABOUT DOCKING WITH THE 
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION 
ABOARD A PRIVATE ROCKET SHIP AND
A PRIVATE SPACESHIP.
HOW MUCH HARDER NOW IS THE NEXT 
STEP?
IS GETTING BACK TO THE MOON ON A
PRIVATELY-OWNED SHIP?
>> THERE ARE A LOT OF NEW 
TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE GOING TO 
BE DEVELOPED, BUT THE BIG HURDLE
IS FORMING THE PARTNERSHIPS AND 
DEFINE HOW WE TALK ABOUT 
REQUIREMENTS AND MEETING THE 
NASA SAFETY STANDARDS WHEN WE 
HAVE PRIVATE COMPANIES DESIGNING
AND BUILDING THE SPACECRAFT.
SO WE REALLY OVERCOME THE 
BIGGEST PROCEDURAL HURDLES TO 
THAT.
AND THE OTHER PART IS JUST 
HAVING THAT COLLECTIVE DRIVE.
I THINK WE HAVE THAT PART DOWN.
[ INAUDIBLE ]
>> GIVE US A SENSE ALSO BECAUSE 
WE HEARD THAT THE INTERNATIONAL 
SPACE STATION IS ABOUT THE SIZE 
OF, WHAT, A FOOTBALL FIELD?
THERE'S SIX DIFFERENT LIVING 
QUARTERS ON THERE, BIG BY A 
WINDOW.
I ONLY READ ABOUT IT BUT YOU'VE 
BOTH EXPERIENCED IT. 
>> SO IF YOU LAID IT OUT ON A 
FOOTBALL FIELD, IT WOULD GO END 
TO END.
THAT'S WHERE THE OUTSIDE AND 
SOLAR RAYS R. WE LIVE ALONG THE 
50-YARD LINE AND IT'S THE EIGHT 
OR TEN MODULES, SCHOOL-BUS-SIZED
ALL IN A ROW.
IN THE MIDDLE IS A MODULE OF 
WINDOWS WHERE YOU CAN LOOK AT 
THE TOP, YOU CAN LOOK OUT THIS 
WAY.
THE CONTRAST IS ON EVERY VEHICLE
UNTIL THIS TIME, YOU HAD JUST A 
PORTAL.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR HAWAII, 
YOU HAVE TO LOOK EXACTLY THE 
RIGHT TIME AND SEE IT.
WHEREAS BEING ABLE TO SORT OF 
LOOK AND SEE A PLACE, IT MEANS 
SOMETHING TO YOU ON THE EARTH 
AND SEE IT AS IT'S COMING AND 
SPIN AROUND, YOU WATCH IT GOING,
IT GIVE US THE HUMAN PRESENCE. 
>> I SAW YOU NODDING ALONG, 
CHRISTINA. 
>> YES, I WAS BECAUSE I WAS 
ENVISIONING THE MODULE.
IT IS A PHENOMENAL PART OF THE 
STATION BECAUSE IT BRINGS THE 
HUMAN ELEMENT.
I CALL IT THE BAY WINDOW 
STATION.
IT LOOKS DOWN ON EARTH AND YOU 
CAN POSITION YOURSELF IN IT TO 
WHERE THE ONLY THING YOU SEE IS 
THE HORIZON OF EARTH AND THE 
THIN ATMOSPHERE AROUND IT.
DEPENDING ON WHETHER YOU'RE ON A
NIGHT OR DAY PASS, THE STARS IN 
THE UNIVERSE OR THE BEAUTIFUL 
CONTINENTS.
REALLY ANSWERING HUMANITY'S CALL
TO EXPLORE AND TAKING THAT 
PERSPECTIVE AND BRINGING IT BACK
HOME IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART 
OF OUR MISSION IN ADDITION TO 
THE GREAT SCIENCE AND 
TECHNOLOGY. 
>> WE ARE SEEING THAT TODAY.
THIS MISSION IS EXPECTED TO BE 
ABOUT 30 OR 100 DAYS.
WHAT DETERMINES HOW LONG THEY'LL
STAY?
>> THEY HAVE GOT CERTAIN 
OBJECTIVES TO MEET.
THAT IS TEST MISSION.
IT JUST DEPENDS WHAT THE ANSWERS
TO THE QUESTIONS ARE AS THEY GO 
ALONG AND ALSO THE NEEDS OF THE 
SPACE STATION AND HOW READY THEY
ARE TO LAUNCH IN AUGUST.
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS WE 
TRY TO KEEP IN MIND IS THE SPACE
STATION IS AN ORBITING 
LABORATORY.
WE TEST OUT THINGS FOR THE MOON 
AND MARS.
HAVING TWO EXTRA PEOPLE UP THERE
THAT ALREADY KNOW HOW TO GET TO 
WORK IS VALUABLE WORK. 
>> WHAT IS THE PLAN NEXT?
IS THERE ANOTHER TRIP ALREADY 
PLANNED OR ANTICIPATED FOR 
AUGUST?
>> FOR SPACEX SCHEDULED RIGHT 
NOW FOR AUGUST, TBD DEPENDING ON
THE RESULTS OF TESTING OUT.
THIS IS A TEST FLIGHT.
AND THEN ALSO FOR BOEING, THEY 
ARE IN LINE AS WELL.
THEY'RE GOING TO FLY THEIR 
UNCREWED MISSION FIRST. 
>> WE HAVE NEWS FROM THE 
PRESIDENT.
HE SAID, QUOTE, I'M SO PROUD OF 
THE PEOPLE OF NASA PUBLIC AND 
PRIVATE WHEN YOU SEE A SIGHT 
LIKE THAT, IT'S INCREDIBLE.
WHEN YOU HEAR THAT SOUND, THE 
ROAR, YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW 
DANGEROUS IT IS.
THIS IS SUCH A GREAT INSPIRATION
FOR OUR COUNTRY: OUR COUNTRY IS 
DOING WELL.
GIO BENITEZ, YOU WERE THERE.
YOU COULD SEE, HEAR, AND FEEL 
IT.
YOUR THOUGHTS AS YOU SORT OF 
REFLECT ON THAT INCREDIBLE 
MOMENT. 
>> I'M THINKING RIGHT NOW, TOM, 
ABOUT BOB AND DOUG'S WIVES.
THEY'RE BOTH DECORATED 
ASTRONAUTS THEMSELVES.
KAREN AND MEGAN, AND THEY WERE 
WATCHING, KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT 
COULD DEPO WRONG AND WHAT COULD 
GO RIGHT AND WHAT YOU DO WHEN 
THINGS GO WRONG.
THEY WERE THERE WATCHING.
SO I'M THINKING ABOUT THEM, 
WATCHING THEM WITH THEIR SONS 
RIGHT NOW.
PRETTY SPECIAL TO SEE.
SUCH A SPECIAL LAUNCH.
>> LINDSEY, I CAN'T STOP 
WATCHING.
WE'RE PLAYING THIS ONE MORE TIME
BECAUSE IT'S BEEN SUCH A TOUGH 
TIME OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS 
OF THE COUNTRY.
EVERYTHING HAS GONE WRONG FOR SO
MANY FAMILIES, WHETHER PEOPLE 
GETTING SICK OR LOSING THEIR 
JOBS, AND THEN RIGHT NOW WE JUST
HAVE SO MUCH UNREST BECAUSE OF 
WHAT HAPPENED IN MINNESOTA.
YOU GET TO JUST SORT OF PAUSE 
AND SEE WHAT THIS COUNTRY CAN DO
WHEN IT ALL WORKS AND THINGS 
COME TOGETHER, AND AMBITION 
MEETS HOPE, MEETS DREAMS.
IT IS JUST INCREDIBLE.
IT IS AMAZING TO WATCH.
IT'S NOT THAT WE CAN FORGET 
WHAT'S HAPPENED THIS WEEK OR 
OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS, BUT 
IT'S A REMINDER OF WHAT WE CAN 
DO. 
>> LOOK, ON THE SPACE FRONT 
TODAY SIGNIFIES A MAJOR 
ADVANCEMENT, RIGHT?
WE HAVE PROPELLED FORWARD.
WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL THAT WE 
HAVE TO REMEMBER HOW TO GET 
THINGS BACK, ESPECIALLY AS WE 
TALK ABOUT THESE PROTESTS AND 
WHAT'S GOING ON AS A RESULT OF 
WHAT HAPPENED IN MINNESOTA.
BUT SUCH EXCITEMENT FOR A MOMENT
TO TAKE A BREATHER FROM THAT AND
WATCH THIS.
>> IT'S INCREDIBLE BECAUSE IT'S 
GOING TO BE CONTINUED.
THIS IS THE FIRST NEW CHAPTER 
AND WE'RE GOING TO KEEP READING 
THIS BOOK.
THIS DOES CONCLUDE OUR COVERAGE 
OF LAUNCH AMERICA, I WANT TO 
THANK OUR PARTNERS AT NATIONAL 
GEOGRAPHIC, OUR ABC TEAM AND 
SPECIAL THANKS TO NASA 
ASTRONAUTS CHRISTINA COOK AND 
KATIE COLEMAN, FOR LINSEY DAVIS

CHILDREN.

BABIES, WE'RE NOT RAISING TWINS.
NO, YOU NEED TO GET RID OF ONE

OF LIFE, BUT WHEN THIS SURROGATE
TELLS THE PARENTS TO BE SHE'S 
EXPECTING TWO BABIES INSTEAD OF 
ONE, THEY DEMAND A SELECTIVE 
REDUCTION.
WHAT WILL OTHER PEOPLE SAY.
WILL THEY TELL THIS FUTURE MOM 
AND DAD THAT THEY SHOULD COUNT 
THEIR BLESSINGS AND KEEP BOTH

APPOINTMENT TO GET RID OF ONE.
JUST TO GET RID OF ONE.
AND TRY TO KEEP THE OTHER ONE.
>> TIME TO TALK TO THEM.
IF YOU WERE THE SURROGATE, IF 
YOU WERE HER, YOU WOULD SAY, I'M

REASON.

A CHOICE.

MINUTES.

ABOUT TO DRIVE WHILE DRUNK, WHAT
WOULD YOU DO?
WE'RE AT ALLENDALE BAR AND GRILL
IN ALLENDALE, NEW JERSEY.
CHEERS.
WHERE THIS GUY WATCHES BEN KNOCK
BACK SHOT AFTER SHOT.
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> I DRINK FOR A LIVING. 
>> HEY, THAT MAKES TWO OF US.
BETTER THAN BEING A TAXI DRIVER.
>> THEN, BEN CONFESSES THAT HE'S
REALLY ON HIS LUNCH BREAK.
>> DON'T TELL ANYONE.
>> THE MAN SMILES POLITELY, BUT 
THERE'S CONCERN BREWING BEHIND 
THAT GRIN.

MINUTES, MICHELLE.

>> YEAH, YEAH, I'M GOOD.
I'M GOOD.

HIS OPINION STRAIGHT UP.
>> YOU AIN'T DRIVING.
>> I'M A PROFESSIONAL. 
>> HE THEN LOOKS TO OUR ACTOR 
WILL, WHO'S PLAYING BEN'S FELLOW
CABBIE. 
>> YOU'RE GOING TO LET HIM 
DRIVE. 
>> HE KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE.
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL.
>> SEE YOU LATER. 
>> WITH THAT, BEN HEADS OUT TO 
HIS CAR.
TIME TO FIND OUT WHAT HE'S 
THINKING.
>> HEY, GUYS, HOW ARE YOU?
I'M JOHN.
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, THOUGH?
>> I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET 
IN TROUBLE FOR LETTING HIM DRIVE
LIKE THAT, BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE IT
UPON YOURSELF. 
>> I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO 
MENTION SOMETHING TO SOMEBODY 
WHO COULD HAVE DONE IT. 
>> BUT YOU WEREN'T GOING TO STOP
HIM YOURSELF. 
>> WHAT AM I GOING TO DO, TAKE 
HIS KEYS AWAY FROM HIM?
HIS BUDDY SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT.
>> BACK INSIDE THE BAR, THIS 
CUSTOMER ALSO KNOWS WHAT'S 
HAPPENING. 
>> I CAN PICK YOU UP IN TEN 
MINUTES.
I GOT TO PICK UP A CUSTOMER. 
>> GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. 
>> YEAH.
>> SORRY.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
>> THANK YOU, I'M GOOD.
>> NICE TO MEET YOU, BUDDY. 
>> HAVE A GOOD ONE. 
>> HAVE A GOOD DAY.
>> BUT HE ALSO SAYS IT WASN'T 
HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO STOP BEN. 
>> HE HAD HIS BUDDY THERE. 
>> MAYBE IF HE WAS ALONE, RIGHT?
>> YEAH, I WOULD BE MORE 
CONCERNED, BUT I DON'T THINK 
IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY.
WE'RE ALL INDIVIDUALS.
WE MAKE OUR CHOICES.
>> WE'RE ROLLING AGAIN, AND THIS
TIME WE LEAVE BEN ALONE AT THE 
BAR.
>> CAN I GET ANOTHER ROUND HERE?
>> TO SEE IF CUSTOMERS WILL 
REACT DIFFERENTLY.
>> JAKE HUGHES TAXI, THIS IS BEN
SPEAKING.
I'LL PICK YOU UP IN LIKE TEN 
MINUTES. 
>> I GUESS MY LUNCH BREAK IS 
OVER. 
>> GOOD LUCK.
>> BEN TAKES A SIP OF BEER FOR 
THE ROAD.
AND STUMBLES HIS WAY OUT.
AND WITH THAT, THIS GUY HAS SEEN
ENOUGH.
>> KEEPING AN EYE ON BEN FROM 
THE DOOR, HE CALLS THE POLICE.
BUT WE HAVE ALREADY ALERTED 
THEM.
>> YEAH, HOW YOU DOING, I'M AT 
AD AND J, AND I'M JUST SITTING 
DOWN WITH A FRIEND HAVING LUNCH,
THERE'S A GUY OUTSIDE THAT IS 
FALL DOWN DRUNK, AND HE'S 
GETTING READY TO GET IN A CAR.
APPARENTLY HE'S A TAXI DRIVER.
I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW HE'S 
GOING TO KILL SOMEBODY IF HE 
GETS INTO A CAR.
I FELT IT NECESSARY THAT I 
SHOULD CALL. 
>> OKAY.
>> AND HIS FRIEND FINDS IT 
NECESSARY TO CONGRATULATE HIM.
>> TELL US WHAT YOU WERE 
THINKING?
>> WE WERE THINKING THIS GUY 
CAN'T DRIVE.
HE'S GOING TO HURT HIMSELF OR 
SOMEBODY ELSE. 
>> IS IT UP TO THE BARTENDER OR 
BUSINESS. 
>> IT'S UP TO EVERYBODY.
EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBLE.
>> BEN IS BACK INSIDE THE BAR. 
>> HELLO, I DON'T KNOW WHAT 
SHE'S SAYING. 
>> WHEN HE'S TOO DRUNK TO CARRY 
ON A PHONE CONVERSATION WITH HIS
CUSTOMER, THIS GUY TRIES TO WARN
THE WOMAN ON THE PHONE.
>> IS HE OKAY?
>> NO, NO. 
>> HE'S NOT OKAY. 
>> SHOULD I NOT.
>> THAT'S RIGHT. 
>> AND AS A CHASER, A SHOT OF 
ADVICE.
FOR BEN.
>> YOU SURE YOU'RE GOING TO 
DRIVE?
>> YEAH, YEAH.
>> I DON'T THINK SO, DUDE.
>> WHY NOT?
>> YOU ARE BLASTED.
>> YOU SHOULDN'T GET IN THE CAR.
>> BEN, IGNORES THE WARNING, AND
THE MAN WATCHES BEN LEAVE.
TIME TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES.
HOW YOU DOING, SIR, I'M JOHN 
QUINONES WITH THE TV SHOW, WHAT 
WOULD YOU DO.
HE'S AN ACTOR.
WE WANTED TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE 
WOULD SAY, AND YOU WERE REALLY 
CONCERNED ABOUT HIM.
>> ESPECIALLY FOR THE WOMAN WHO 
CALLED, I WAS TRYING TO GIVE HER
A MESSAGE ON THE PHONE.
THE LAST THING I WANTED TO DO 
WAS GET IN A PHYSICAL 
ALTERCATION.
I DIDN'T WANT TO TELL HER THIS 
GUY IS DRUNK, DON'T GET INTO THE
CAR.
OUR HIDDEN CAMERAS ARE ROLLING 
ONE LAST TIME, AND BEN IS BACK 
DRINKING AT THE BAR WITH HIS PAL
WILL.
>> DRINKING ON OUR BREAK.
>> BUT THEN, ANTHONY DEMARO 
HEARS THIS. 
>> I'M GOING TO GO PICK UP A 
CUSTOMER.
>> WELL, NOT ON ANTHONY'S WATCH.
>> I'M ALL RIGHT, MAN.
I'M GOOD. 
>> I'M JUST LOOKING OUT FOR YOU,
DUDE.
YOU'RE GOING TO KILL YOURSELF OR
SOMEBODY ELSE. 
>> I DRIVE LIKE THIS ALL THE 
TIME.
>> COME INSIDE AND HAVE A COUPLE
OF GLASSES OF WATER AT LEAST. 
>> EXCUSE ME, SIR, HOW ARE YOU?
>> I'M DOING WELL. 
>> I'M JOHN QUINONES.
WE WANTED TO SEE IF ANYONE WOULD
STOP HIM.
YOU'RE THE FIRST ONE TODAY.
>> I'M THE FIRST ONE?
>> YEAH, I WASN'T GOING TO LET 
IT HAPPEN. 
>> HAVE YOU HAD EXPERIENCE WITH 
PEOPLE WHO ARE DRUNK DRIVERS?
>> I WAS ONE ONCE. 
>> WHAT HAPPENED?
>> TOTALLED A BMW, ALMOST KILLED
A BUDDY AND MYSELF.
I THOUGHT I WAS FINE TOO. 
>> YOU KNOW VERY WELL THE DAMAGE
THAT CAN BE DONE.
>> WHERE'D HE GO. 
>> SAY HELLO. 
>> THANKS FOR TAKING CARE OF ME.
>> NO WORRIES.
>> NEXT, I NEVER SAW ANYBODY SO 
STUPID IN MY WHOLE LIFE. 
>> HER ABUSIVE BOSS. 
>> YOU FORGET EVERYTHING.
I AM SO TIRED OF YOU. 
>> IS ALSO HER MOM.
>> LET MY DAUGHTER DO IT.
THAT'S WHAT SHE'S HEAR FOR. 
>> CAN ANYONE BRING CALM TO THIS
STORMY RELATIONSHIP. 
>> YOU SAID DUMMY.
>> YOU'RE THE ONE WHO TAUGHT US 
HOW TO ACT. 
>> WHEN "WHAT WOULD YOU DO?"
RETURNS.
>>> EVERYBODY, INCLUDING MY 
FAMILY, THE PEOPLE I'VE TALKED 
TO, HAVE A DIFFERENT REACTION TO
THE CHARACTER AND TO THE MOVIE, 
WHAT IT MEANS, AND WHETHER THEY 
SHOULD SYMPATHIZE OR NOT.
AND THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE
MOVIE.
IT'S NOT BAD ACTING.
IT'S NOT TELLING YOU PRECISELY 
WHAT YOU SHOULD FEEL AND WHEN.
I THINK IN SOME WAYS WHEN I HAVE
THE ANSWERS, I GROW BORED. 
>> YOU BRINGING UP YOUR FAMILY 
COMING TO YOU AND ALL HAVING 
DIFFERENT OPINIONS, WHAT DO THEY
DO?
DO THEY POINT AT YOU AND SAY, 
I'M RIGHT, RIGHT?
>> PRETTY CLOSE.
>> THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING. 
>> AFTER THE SCREENING IN L.A., 
WE WENT BACK TO MY HOUSE, AND 
YEAH, MY SISTERS GOT INTO A 
CONVERSATION, AND MY SISTER 
SUMMER WAS LIKE, NO, NO, YOU 
GUYS MISSED IT.
ON THE PICTURE, ON THE BACK IS 
THESE INITIALS AND THAT MEANS, 
AND SHE WENT ON THIS WHOLE 
THING, HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW THAT
THAT WAS REAL.
BECAUSE EARLIER HE SAID, AND I'M
WALKING BACK AND FORTH, AND THEY
TURN TO ME AND GO WHICH ONE IS 
IT.
AND I SAID WHICHEVER YOU WANT IT
TO BE.
TELL US WHICH ONE IT IS.
>> RIGHT.
>> NO, REALLY.
I DON'T KNOW.
>> I DON'T KNOW.
>> AND IT'S WHICHEVER YOU WANT 
IT TO BE.
I MEAN, IT'S REALLY INTERESTING 
BECAUSE I THINK IT SAYS 
SOMETHING ABOUT YOU, ABOUT THE 
AUDIENCE, WHICH I THINK IS 
UNIQUE.
>> "WHAT WOULD YOU DO?"
CONTINUES.
TRACY IS THE CARE GIVER FOR HER 
ELDERLY MOTHER MARY. 
>> MOM, YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR 
SEAT BELT OFF. 
>> WELL, I WAS WAITING FOR YOU.
HERE, TAKE MY BAG. 
>> AND MOM HAS NOT MELLOWED WITH
AGE. 
>> WILL YOU GET THE DOOR FOR 
HEAVEN'S SAKES, IT'S NOT GOING 
TO OPEN ITSELF. 
>> SHE'S ORNERY.
>> LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO.
MY NERVES ARE SHOT ALL BECAUSE 
OF YOU. 
>> AND DOWN RIGHT DISRESPECTFUL.
>> WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID?
>> TRACY IS REACHING HER 
BREAKING POINT. 
>> YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING
ME.
YOU HAVE TO DO BETTER.
ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?
IF YOU HEARD A MOTHER BERATING 
HER DAUGHTER, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
>> WE'RE AT ALLENDALE BAR AND 
GRILL IN ALLENDALE, NEW JERSEY. 
>> I NEVER SAW ANYBODY SO STUPID
IN MY WHOLE LIFE.
I'M SORRY I EVEN BROUGHT YOU UP.
>> AT FIRST, IT DOESN'T SEEM 
LIKE ANYONE IS PAYING ATTENTION.
>> I'M REALLY OVERWHELMED.
I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE. 
>> YOU'RE OVERWHELMED. 
>> IF YOU'RE SO OVERWHELMED, I'M
GETTING OUT OF HERE. 
>> AS MOM THUNDERS OFF. 
>> I'M JUST GETTING OUT OF HERE.
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
I'LL GET SOMEONE ELSE TO TAKE 
CARE OF ME. 
>> THIS KINDHEARTED WOMAN STORMS
IN.
>> I'M GETTING OLDER MYSELF, AND
I KNOW I'M VERY SHORT TEMPERED 
MYSELF SOMETIMES, BUT THAT'S 
WHAT IT IS.
>> I'M JUST OVERWHELMED.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
AND I TRY. 
>> I KNOW YOU DO.
AND THAT'S ALL YOU CAN DO.
WATCH OUT FOR YOURSELF.
KEEP YOURSELF TOGETHER.
YOU HAVE A LONG LIFE TO GO.
SHE'S NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY WITH
ANYTHING, AND WHEN YOU REALIZE 
THAT, THINGS ARE EASIER.
>> AS MOM RETURNS, OUR HERO IN 
PINK SNEAKS IN ONE FINAL PIECE 
OF ADVICE.
TIME TO MEET THIS COMPASSIONATE 
WOMAN.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> I RECOGNIZE YOU. 
>> YOU KNOW THE SHOW "WHAT WOULD
YOU DO?"
>> YES.
>> AND I DID IT. 
>> YOU DID IT.
>> WE'RE ROLLING AGAIN.
>> YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PAY THE 
CABLE BILL.
DIDN'T YOU PAY IT?
>> NO, YOU DIDN'T GIVE IT TO ME.
>> YES, I DID. 
>> SHE'S DRIVING ME CRAZY. 
>> THESE THREE WOMEN SEEM 
BOTHERED BY WHAT'S HAPPENING. 
>> YOU DON'T TAKE CARE OF 
ANYTHING. 
>> BUT THEY DON'T GET INVOLVED. 
>> YOU FORGET EVERYTHING.
I AM SO TIRED OF YOU.
>> UNTIL. 
>> NO, NO, LET ME DAUGHTER DO 
IT.
THAT'S WHAT SHE'S HERE FOR.
DON'T YOU DO IT.
>> GET OVER HERE AND PICK THESE 
UP. 
>> THE LOOK ON THIS WOMAN'S FACE
SAYS IT ALL. 
>> COME ON, PICK IT UP.
I TOLD THIS WOMAN NOT TO DO IT. 
>> I'M SO SORRY. 
>> OH, COME ON, DON'T WORRY 
ABOUT IT.
YOU WANT TO HAVE LUNCH WITH US. 
>> I JUST FEEL LIKE SHE HATES 
ME. 
>> OH, DARLING.
>> I'M SO SORRY.
>> THEY SEEM COMPLETELY 
SUPPORTIVE, BUT THEN TRACY ASKS 
A FAVOR. 
>> CAN YOU LADIES DO ME A FAVOR 
AND TRY TO TALK TO HER WHEN SHE 
COMES BACK. 
>> WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO SAY?
>> JUST TELL HER TO CALM DOWN IN
A NICE WAY.
I MEAN, IF YOU DON'T MIND, I 
JUST NEED HELP.
SHE'S COMING BACK.
>> WE SENT TRACY AWAY. 
>> MOM, I'M GOING TO GO TO THE 
BATHROOM, ARE YOU OKAY?
>> BUT WHEN OUR ABUSIVE MOM 
RETURNS. 
>> DON'T TAKE TOO LONG. 
>> THESE WOMEN DECIDE IT'S BEST 
TO MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS.
>> HI, LADIES, HOW ARE YOU?
I'M JOHN QUINONES. 
>> OH, MY.
I WATCH YOU.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO.
OH, MY.
SHE'S AN ACTRESS.
OH, MY GOD.
>> THANK GOODNESS.
>> SHE WAS AWFUL.
>> WE DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE IT 
WORSE.
WE DIDN'T WANT TO, YOU KNOW, ADD
FUEL TO THE FIRE. 
>> WE CAN ALL BE THERE SOME DAY.
>> WE'VE ALL DEALT WITH ELDERLY 
PARENTS AND SOME OF THEM HAVE 
ALZHEIMER'S, DEMENTIA, AND YOU 
KNOW, IT'S REALLY TOUGH.
>> BACK IN THE RESTAURANT, OTHER
CUSTOMERS AGREE WITH THAT 
DIAGNOSIS. 
>> YOU'RE THE WORST DAUGHTER 
ANYBODY COULD EVER HAVE.
>> SOMETIMES PERSONALITIES 
CHANGE EARLY ON.
>> BUT NO ONE SPEAKS UP LIKE 
RYAN FRANKEL. 
>> YOU FORGOT MY MEDICINE, DID 
YOU WATER THE PLANS?
NO, YOU FORGOT THAT TOO. 
>> WHEN HE HEARS THIS. 
>> YOU'RE A DUMMY, FORGETFUL 
DUMMY IS WHAT YOU ARE.
>> HE JUST CAN'T REMAIN SILENT.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. 
>> DON'T BE TALKING TO SOMEBODY 
ELSE. 
>> EXCUSE ME, MA'AM. 
>> WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?
>> YOU'RE AWFUL RUDE.
QUIET DOWN.
>> I'M RUDE?
>> QUIET DOWN, PEOPLE ARE HERE 
FOR LUNCH.
THEY'RE NOT HERE TO LISTEN FOR 
YOU.
EVERYBODY FEELS BAD FOR YOU 
WHILE YOU'RE YELLING AT HER.
>> HE'S GOT ADVICE FOR MARY THAT
MAY BE HARD TO SWALLOW. 
>> WE'RE ALL KIDS, WE DON'T DO 
ANYTHING RIGHT.
WE CAN'T WIN.
YOU HAVE TO GIVE US A BREAK.
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO TAUGHT US HOW
TO ACT.
WHO'S IT A REFLECTION OF. 
>> HER BROTHER IS A DOCTOR, HER 
SISTER IS A LAWYER, AND WHAT 
DOES SHE DO, NOTHING. 
>> TAKES YOU OUT FOR LUNCH. 
>> WHEN MARY STEPS AWAY, WE FIND
OUT THERE'S A REASON WHY RYAN IS
SO DIRECT. 
>> I LOST MY MOM LAST YEAR, AND 
MY MOM WAS A BIT OF A BEAR TO 
DEAL WITH.
>> HE'S BEEN IN TRACY'S SHOES.
>> WAS YOUR MOM LIKE THIS?
LIKE HER?
>> YES, OVERBEARING.
YOU KNOW, ALWAYS ROUGH ON ME.
IT'S A HARD THING TO GET USED 
TO. 
>> HE GIVES TRACY SOME PRACTICAL
ADVICE. 
>> UNFORTUNATELY YOU JUST GOT TO
KIND OF DO WHAT YOU CAN AND WALK
AWAY.
>> HOW ARE YOU, SIR?
HOW IS IT GOING?
>> HEY, JOHN, HOW ARE YOU. 
>> I'M GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
>> YOU JUMPED RIGHT IN.
NO ONE ASKED YOU FOR YOUR 
ADVICE, RIGHT. 
>> I GET IN A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR
NOT BEING ASKED FOR MY ADVICE. 
>> THIS REMINDED YOU OF YOUR OWN
MOTHER. 
>> YEAH, AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE 
SON OR THE DAUGHTER, YOU CAN'T 
DISCONNECT FROM YOUR MOM.
WHATEVER YOUR MOM PICKS TO PICK 
ON YOU FOR, YOU HAVE THE 
HISTORY, SO YOU CAN'T GET AWAY 
FROM IT. 
>> YOUR ADVICE TO SONS OR 
DAUGHTERS WHO ARE OVERWHELMED 
LIKE THIS. 
>> GET PROFESSIONAL HELP.
GET SOMEBODY TO COME IN AND HELP
YOU. 
>> DON'T TRY TO DO IT BY 
YOURSELF.
>> YOU NEED HELP, UNFORTUNATELY.
>> NEXT, HER HANDS ON TUTORING 
HAS CUSTOMERS GRASPING FOR WHAT 
TO DO.
WHO WILL TELL THIS TEACHER CLASS
DISMISSED?
WHEN "WHAT WOULD YOU DO?"
RETURNS.
