So, what are we bettering by creating a space force? i dont understand. i also dont agree that china and russia are ahead of us in this kind of area. he says that the u.s. is premiere in our missiles and weapons systems and thats true and thats all being run, as far as i know, very well by the air force. i dont see another reason to create another branch of the armed services. >> theres not another need, okay. first man, biopic of neil armstrong is coming out. you havent seen it yet but these ar...

This is equivalent to apollo 13, the whole world was watching, wanted these guys to come back and it was successful. >> it was interesting how they brought the boys out. turn to this video where you see this boy on a gurney. >> yes. >> why put him on a gurney? >> if they can carry him, the child through areas that they dont have to walk themselves, save energy, i would imagine. again, this is two miles, two and a half miles deep in the cave. some of it theyre swimming, then they get out, probabl...

Before. >> this is new video we got in about the process. and this part -- i mean, its misleading, right in this looks like, oh, we could all do this. theyre only wading up to their knees. but they cant shoot the stuff where its just blackout conditions and theyre having to go under water and still portions of that, too. even this looks treacherous, but there are much worse things that they have to get the kids out. but still, the fact that theyve done it now, youre hopeful that these last two w...

Gupta and tim taylor. weve been looking at this new video that we just got in overnight of the rescue process. we can see the team of people, theyre walking through the cave to get there, obviously we know there are areas where they cant film where theyre swimming where its too tight. >> look what just happened there. they did something off the rock there. they both lifted their hand up. i thought they were marking it. you can just tell at every step i think they are either looking for hand hole...

Rains on the way. the forecast looked bleak, they were afraid they would have to launch the rescue operation before they were ready. on friday they were worried the oxygen levels inside that cave dropping so quickly that theyre running out of time. none of the kids as far as we know knew how to swim. they were getting less healthy by the day. they were able to pull off what they called the apollo 13 of cave rescues. 12 kids and the coach now out of that cave. these pictures were looking at are t...

Call or go on line today. well, its being called the apollo 13 of rescues. all members of a thai youth soccer team trapped in a flooded cave for more than two weeks are now safe. divers pulled the last four boys out and their coach earlier today. you can see them there being taken to hospital in ambulances. the last group of rescuers, that is three remaining divers and a doctor, followed them out. the thai navy s.e.a.l.s posted this photo a short time ago, bringing to an end a massive, complic...

I feel for at the moment. and hopefully we will have the last four out tomorrow. >> this is a terrestrial apollo 13, thats what it is. its -- if this is successful, which we all hope it is, its up with of those stories that this is the way you want it to end. you want all of these bright boys back. >> who will be telling stories of this and things that theyve learned through this process, a lot to learn from the success so far. but again, still five people in there. four boys and their coach. le...

The world watched neil armstrong, the first man on the moon. >> its one small step for man, one giant leap for man kind. >> shepard: hundreds of millions watched all around the world. since then, the space program has had setbacks. >> houston, we have a problem. >> an oxygen exploded aboard apollo 13. the astronauts made it back to earth. weve seen two space shuttled in destroyed. seven astronauts died when the shuttle challenger exploded after take-off. >> if future belongs to the brave. the ch...

Years of footage of his kids growing up is so emotional. i love that film so much. my number five is interstellar, christopher nolan, no question. >> apollo 13 is number four for you. >> ron howard is one of the filmmakers who rarely misses. right now hes working on a han solo project in a really big film for him because he put his act is in this environment to make them feel the weightlessness of space, reduced gravity aircraft. tom hanks in the film. one quote cited at harris stars in apollo 1...

Listening to the president of there i am reminded of the words of -- i believe -- the apollo 13 communications guy who said failure is not an option, is that an option here? >> first of all, lets characterize what it would be. its not letting it fail, it is choking it to death. it would mean pulling out all the subsidies and taking that away. thats really not an option, that would put millions of peoples lives at risk. i practice up in rural maine, i am the director of maines doctors for america...
