Was undeniable. here crew member chris sembroski takes pictures in the spaceships cupola. crew member hayley arceneaux flipped for microgravity. >> hayley is a champ at spinning orpt arceneauxs jurpy was impossible long before she got to space. this video shows her at age 10, fighting bobs cancer a party at st. judes hospital in memphis. 19 years later, her backstory fueled inspiration, raised $200 million for st. jude. watching her launch on wednesday, six-year-old matthew, a leukemia patient a...

Finally able to stand up and exit that capsule. talk us through it. >> yeah. so when you go to space, your -- your body adapts to micro -- microgravity pretty quickly. um, what happens is the fluids in the lower half of your torso and your legs equilibrate. your eyeballs may feel like they are bulging a little bit. but over a couple days, you lose that extra water. and -- and so, you feel really comfortable in space. then when you come back down, the reverse happens, right? when you come back do...

Their home as they wish to round earth at 17,000 miles an hour. >> it is really interesting to see how fluid it shifts with this microgravity. >> the mission is to determine the effects of space on the human body, and also part charity. more than $150 million raised for same to childrens hospital, where arcenaux works. patients theyre got a rare treat on thursday. >> you are on the moon! >> maybe one day! >> their trip, highlighting a new era in space travel, and opening a new frontier to anybod...

After three days, its not as bad as after six months. and so theyll be coming out and showing everyone, hey, this is doable. even for an amateur crew that hasnt had the experience, the professional training of a professional astronaut, you can do this and you can come back and be okay. >> doctor, they have been in zero gravity for the last three days. i have asked you to sort of explain what that feels like. since we are about to watch them exit the -- the capsule, i want to ask you, again, to t...

Crew emerging from spacex capsule after the historic flight. but i didnt see any moon -- moon walks. i was surprised by that, kristin. i thought at least wed see a moon walk. >> i felt like i was watching that moment at like a wedding reception where the wedding party comes in and do their own dances. they deserve every fist pump. i would have loved to have seen a moon walk. but think what they went through. three days in microgravity. just re-entered the atmosphere inside a capsule dealing with...

A team that does help them as they egress or exit the vehicle. as they have been out in microgravity the last three days, they have not 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. and right now it looks like they are removing the foot rests at the bottom of their seats. in will give them some space as they exit. >> yeah, that is a good thing to note when we land we recline the seats back down to ma...

That will help with understanding how space flight might affect the human body, if you are in space for an extended time but also, you can imagine how some treatments here on earth, we might be able to figure out some breakthrough, looking at how they work in microgravity as well. ., ., ., , , , well. how innovative is this trip, how exciting _ well. how innovative is this trip, how exciting is _ well. how innovative is this trip, how exciting is it, _ well. how innovative is this trip, how exci...
