Theres been some double—takes going on this morning in weston—super—mare, as an old offshore oil rig from the north sea lands on the towns beach. the see monster is set to become a huge art installation and will have gardens, an amphitheare and a waterfall for visitors to see once complete. john maguire is in weston—super—mare for us — it is not sunny but it looks warm. take us through it.— it is not sunny but it looks warm. take us through it. sunny, overcast, cuite take us throug...

And wind and much less like other technologies like nuclear or gas with carbon capture. that is taking to account the cost of getting something up in space will not be cheap. give me an idea about the reflectors, the panels and how big are we talking about? these are big structures, _ big are we talking about? these are big structures, 1.7 _ are big structures, 1.7 kilometres across, which is an incredible engineering feat but the important thing... 1? the important thing... 1.7 kilometres. _ th...

Years since apollo 11 became the first manned spacecraft to land on the moon. and cnns rachel crane is live at nasas johnson space center in houston. she is in front of the same type of rocket as the one that propelled the apollo 11 crew. thats so cool. rachel, tell us what youre seeing. >> reporter: thats right, alyson. lets just take a moment and, you know, revel in the beauty of this incredible rocket behind me. this is saturn 5, the type of rocket that put neal armstrong and buzz aldrin on t...

The type of rocket that flu all of the apollo missions and of course brought buzz aldrin and neil armstrong to the moon nearly 50 years ago and it is an incredible beast of a rocket. truly an engineering feat in and of itself. when it is standing upright, right now it is on the side, it is over 35 stories tall. when fully fueled up it weighs over 6 million pounds and over 7 million pounds of thrust. so really just an incredible, incredible rocket. they are no longer flying. but, anna, as you hea...

Drag, blast, and tunnel ones way up this route back in the day. back in the beginning, making the trip to shimla required a somewhat uncomfortable three-day trek up the mountain by foot, or horse, or hand-powered palanquin. the stats are impressive. a climb of around 5,000 feet, over a hundred tunnels, more than 800 bridges, an engineering feat, a job that when you consider the time, defies imagining. in the building of this railroad, many died. many, many died. ♪

Through all of that school, all of that difficult learning. this is the payoff. youre in an invigorating and -- >> hold on, guys. i want to -- theyre flipping between a bunch of feeds here. for people who didnt see this, or didnt know what they were going to see, the rocket went into a vertical position and came down. it extended legs and it came down right on the launchpad that it was supposed to. on the landing pad that it was supposed to. i mean, if nothing else happened, that would have been...
