LIZ: BREAKING NEWS.
THEY ARE TESTING THE SYSTEMS
RIGHT NOW.
WE ARE JUST OVER 24 HOURS AWAY
FROM HISTORY AS SPACEX PREPARES
TO BECOME THE FIRST COMMERCIAL
SPACE COMPANY TO LAUNCH AMERICAN
ASTRONAUTS INTO SPACE SINCE THE
END OF THE SPACE SHUTTLE ERA.
YOU ARE LOOKING AT A LIVE SHOT
OF THE FALCON 9 ROCKET THAT’S ON
THE LAUNCHPAD AT CAPE CANAVERAL,
FLORIDA.
YOU CAN SEE CLOUDS THERE.
THEY ARE DEMANDING PERFECT
WEATHER, SUPPOSEDLY THINGS WILL
CLEAR UP TOMORROW, BUT
ASTRONAUTS HAVE REHEARSED THEIR
PRELAUNCH ROUTINE OVER THE
WEEKEND ABOARD THE CREW DRAGON
SPACE CRAFT THAT WILL CARRY THEM
TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION.
NASA ADMINISTRATOR JAMES
BRIDENSTEIN SAID AT A PRESS
CONFERENCE THE WINDOW FOR A
LAUNCH IS RIGHT NOW AT ABOUT
60%.
KIND OF LEAVES A HOLE THERE.
BUT LIFTOFF IS SCHEDULED FOR
3:30 P.M. EASTERN TIME TOMORROW.
OF COURSE FOX BUSINESS WILL BE
COVERING THAT.
TESLA CEO ELON MUSK, ALSO THE
CEO AS YOU KNOW OF SPACEX, TESLA
IS UP 328% OVER JUST THE PAST
YEAR, AND IF THAT WAS NOT A
SKY-HIGH RUNUP, BARRON’S SAYS A
SUCCESSFUL SPACEX LAUNCH COULD
PROVIDE TESLA’S STOCK WITH MORE
ROCKET FUEL, EVEN THOUGH THE TWO
ARE NOT EXACTLY RELATED.
THE LOVE FOR THE ELON MUSK ERA
