Billionaire who made the whole trip happened paying for all 4 seats jerry isenman, fulfilling lifelong dreams and while in space they had plenty of fun experiencing micro gravity and they showed 360 view for the congress e patients down at st. judes hospital. >> beautiful water. phil: the crew spent time looking out the window and designed specifically for the trip since the flight did not go to international space station and they to be off mechanism and put awesome window. didnt take long afte...

Out in micro gravity, in a spacecraft, so im really excited to hear what their experiences are really like, you know, with the nasa crew missions, we typically get to hear, you know, some of their thoughts of the dragon spacecraft, would love to hear more from, you know, just an all civilian crew this time around, not professional astronauts. >> as we see the sun setting on the right-hand side, the boats are equipped with very strong lights to make sure that they can continue the operation, in c...

Egress or exit the vehicle, as they have been out in micro gravity for the last three days, they havent felt the gravity of their own body in three days so this is very standard procedure to have some support and help as they egress the vehicle. right now looks like they are removing the foot rest at the bottom of their seats. this will give them some space as they exit. >> that is a good thing to note that when we land, we also recline the seats back down to make it a little bit easier for the ...

0 these are people with families, and the goal here really has been heartwarming. i think youve probably seen the footage of the interactions that this crew has had with children in the hospital. i mean, its been a fund-raising campaign for st. judes, 200 million dollars has been the goal. and theres been all kinds of interaction from them there. it just has been an amazing experience to see regular americans, like you and i, in space. only less than 600 people -- >> jon: hang on a second, alexa...

Miles by 100 miles is cleared for g-force one flight. >> thats lot of talk about these flights democratizing space, is this experience the closest thing that a normal person -- >> absolutely. >> will ever experience. >> no one would say $7,500 is cheap. >> cheap, but its accessible. >> a lot less than $28 million. what is the value of the weightlessness experience like? is this just for thrill seekers or is there real research value to these flights? >> right now i would say half of it is resear...

Thank you. if all goes well, by this time tomorrow, jeff bezos wont just be the richest man in the world but one of the first civilians to fly in a unpiloted sub- orbital flight, making it to the edge of space. cbs mark strassmann reports on how bezos and team are preparing for the big launch. >> reporter: as jeff bezos sees space... >> we are excited. >> reporter: two days of training is all he needs, all anyone needs, to become an astronaut. so, this is an exact replica of what theyll fly on t...

Laboratory mission and then up to the space station. so i got to enjoy more time of micro gravity as we call it and of course were operating experiments the majority of the time. so you have to get used to that operating in that micro gravity. and it is a wonderful feeling and amazing how the body can get used to it. the inspection of the spacecraft after landing is important to see if there are any improvements need to be made. >> and back to what your body is feeling, help people understand wh...

Unity down, lighting its rocket and taking off into space. i think in your mind, youre going through your checklist of things youre supposed to do. as tom said, youre getting this excitement. think about yourself and micro gravity, looking back at the planet the first time and getting this perspective shift. you may not be doing all your tasks right away. but we trained for so many years -- i trained for ten years as an astronaut to make sure that i focus, hyper focused on the task at hand. c.j....

Agenda well there is so much on going to start with alex first of all one of the experiments is my oh my old sons is basically going to look at how microgravity affects the muscular system of this really important because we shoot things up into space all the time that we really dont know how space affects humans in space think about all the colonies we want to build we dont know how space is going to affect us if we procreate theres no not much experimentation going into evolutionary biology so...

Foundation will grow crystals in micro gravity where they grow larger than on earth and hoping to lead to improved treatment for people with parkinsons. and the big total solar eclipse that everybody is buzzing about, the crew on the space station will see the eclipse three times. once over the west coast, once over kentucky and the shadow of the moon over south carolina as it heads into the atlantic. the first time in 38 years that the united states, americans can look up or with special sungla...
