>> WE WANT TO INSPIRE KIDS THAT
>> WE WANT TO INSPIRE KIDS THAT
ONE DAY THEY WANT TO WEAR THAT
UNIFORM OR THAT SPACE SUIT AND
GET THEM FIRED UP.
I WANT TO BE AN ASTRONAUT.
I WANT TO ADVANCE SPACE FLIGHT.
BUT TODAY IS ABOUT IS REIGNITING
THEIR DREAM OF SPACE.
>> Neil: THE SPACEX FOUNDER,
ELON MUSK.
KIDS UNDERNEATH UNDERSTAND THING
SCOUT BECAUSE OF WEATHER.
THE NEXT SHOT AT THIS.
YOU MIGHT JUST SAY, ALL RIGHT,
IS A GREAT CORRESPONDENT.
THE ANCHOR AND ALL THAT, THE
CHILD OF ASTRONAUTS WHICH
EXPLAINS WHY --
SHE DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THAT
PATH.
SHE WAS EVEN CALLED IN HER DAY
DAY -- I ALWAYS LOVE THAT.
OBVIOUSLY, YOU DID HEAR FROM
YOUR PARENTS AND AS YOU GREW
OLDER, YOU ARE VERY YOUNG
OBVIOUSLY TO REMEMBER THEIR
PARTICULAR FLIGHTS.
THIS IS MORE ROUTINE THAN YOU
THINK.
>> IT IS MORE ROUTINE THAN YOU
THINK.
MY DAD ACTUALLY SCRUBBED TWICE
BEFORE HE FINALLY LAUNCHED INTO
SPACE ON THE SPACE SHUTTLE.
JUST THINK ABOUT HOW
DISAPPOINTING IT MUST BE FOR
THESE ASTRONAUTS.
HE TALKED ABOUT IT.
YOU WAKE UP IN CREW QUARTERS.
YOU ARE ALL EXCITED.
YOU HAVE YOUR LAST BREAKFAST SO
TO SPEAK.
HE WAVED GOODBYE TO YOUR FAMILY,
YOU DO THIS DRAMATIC DRIVE AND
WAIT FOR HOURS AND HOURS AND
HOURS AND YOU SCRUB AND HAVE TO
DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN.
AS DISAPPOINTED AS I AM,
EVERYBODY WATCHING AND
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE
VICE PRESIDENT WHO MADE THE TRIP
DOWN FROM WASHINGTON, D.C., TO
BE HERE AT THIS LAUNCHED TODAY,
I COULD ALMOST GUARANTEE YOU
THAT NO ONE IS MORE DISAPPOINTED
DISAPPOINTED.
THEY WILL TRY AGAIN ON SATURDAY.
IT WAS THE RIDE CALLED DAY.
NO WAY THAT NASA OR SPACEX IS
GOING TO BECOME A LOT DANGEROUS
ANYWAY.
SHE WENT SO FAR IN HER EFFORT TO
REALLY TRY TO HUMANIZE THE VERY
TECHNICAL STEPS IN TERMS OF
BUILDING THIS SPACECRAFT AND
GETTING READY TO GET TO THIS
POINT TODAY.
SHE PUT THE PICTURES OF NASA
ASTRONAUTS ON A LOT OF SPACEX
WORK ORDERS TO REMIND EMPLOYEES
JUST WAS AT STAKE.
DISAPPOINTING BUT NO DOUBT THE
RIGHT CALL.
>> Neil: I’M GLAD THEY MADE
THE CALL THEY DID AND DIDN’T
SUCCUMB TO PRESSURE.
IT MUST BE A LOT OF PRESSURE.
WE HAD THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES, THEY HAVE A RIDE
THERE.
THE BIG CHEESE HERE.
WE’VE GOT A LAUNCH THIS THING.
OF THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING.
THEY DIDN’T SUCCUMB TO THAT.
>> THERE IS A WORD FOR THAT,
THEY CALL IT LAUNCH FEVER.
OF COURSE THERE WAS QUITE A BIT
OF DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER THEY
BE PRESSURE PLACED ON NASA.
MAKING THE TRACK ALL THE WAY
DOWN THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A
PANDEMIC, NO LESS.
THE FACT THAT NASA AND SPACEX
MADE THIS DECISION SHOWS THAT
THEY HAVE THE RIGHT PROTOCOLS IN
PLACE.
IT HAPPENS.
AS YOU SAID, AT HAPPEN 6 OF 10
LAUNCHES.
THIS IS NOTHING NEW.
IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND WILL
HAPPEN AGAIN.
HOPEFULLY SATURDAY IS A GROW
>> Neil: NEVER WANTED TO BE AN
ASTRONAUT?
>> I THINK THERE’S SOMETHING TO
BE SAID WHEN THEY ARE REALLY
GOOD AT IT.
I DEFINITELY FELT A LITTLE BIT
OF A DESIRE TO MAKE MY OWN PATH
IN THE WORLD.
BUT ON DAYS LIKE TODAY, I’M
SERIOUSLY SECOND-GUESSING.
BEING HERE WITH YOU IN GETTING
TO BE PART OF FOX NEWS COVERAGE
OF THIS HISTORIC LAUNCH IS
CERTAINLY RIGHT UP THERE.
>> Neil: I THINK YOU MADE THE
RIGHT CHOICE.
WE ARE DELIGHTED YOU DID.
I THINK AMERICA THANKS YOU AS
