Be a new vip of fabletics. Com . Hello and welcome to all our viewers watching here in the u. S. And Around The World, im lynda kincade, ahead on Cnn Newsroom touchdown good job of eggs. Boeings starliner successfully returns to earth, both without its crew also, were hearing from the student who stopped the alleged Georgia Gilman from entering her classroom. This Muniz Father make their first Court Appearance and were tracking Typhoon Yagi because set to make landfall in vietnam so much land this is cnn in these with Lynda Kincaid will, after a troubled slide to the international Space Station, boeing starliner has arrived safely back on earth touchdown, starliner is back on earth. That landing coming at will still line and landed at white sands space harbor, New Mexico as people the nasa is miss Mission Control in houston, texas. Clapped and Chip Style and launched it back in june and then docked with the international Space Station. It was supposed to return to earth a week later. But Helium Leaks and thruster problems prompted nasa to delay that return. The astronauts who was supposed to return on starliner remain on the Space Station astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore will return to earth on Space X in february. While former Nasa Administrator and former astronaut and retired marine general Charles Bolden joins us now from arlington, virginia. Good to have you with us good to be with you, lynda, how are you doing im well, im well, so it was good watching the Starliner Land just last hour. It was six hours after leaving the iss without its Astronaut Crew how would you describe that landing . I thought it was picture perfect as your previous guests, both Terry Virts and miles obrien commented, it was the kind of landing that i think most of us expected. And the only only thing that we would have liked to have seen different would have to had he had a crew onboard, but that was not to be so talk to us about that decision. Was it the right decision to leave the crew on the international Space Station . You know, lynda, i have been away from nasa since 2016, 2017, and im no longer privy to the meetings and the decisionmaking goes on, so i wouldnt dare second guessed the team ill add one thing that the miles obrien talked about a little bit earlier, but we have the benefit of Remembering Visit italy as we commemorate at The End of every january, the loss of two spacecraft, three spacecraft actually with the Account Apollo one challenger in columbia where are we fail to communicate as we should. And i think this time there was not not exact agreement between boeing and nasa on the shape of the vehicle or the condition of the vehicle and so in that case, the right thing to do is follow just take the safest course of action, which is what i think they did. And of course, the main issues with their spacecraft was of course, the thrusters, five of the 28 malfunction when it was trying to dock with the international Stage Station back in june, but also the Helium Leak. This was of course, a Test Flight of a brand new spacecraft. If you were giving it a score out of ten, what would you give in . Well i you know im not sure i when you dont complete the missions scanda, you definitely dont get a ten i they didnt complete the test so lets say you know, ill let it be an ungraded tests fair enough. Yeah. They they left the astronauts of course which wilmore and Suni Williams they were meant to return on that spacecraft after eight days. Now they could be in space for eight months talk to us more about that call and these a veteran astronauts, are there any risks from that longterm Space Exposure oh, the risk are numerous everything we do and spaceflight is risky, but i think the risks that we incur by leaving them there both of them are veterans. Space station missions so they have had longterm exposure to radiation. This will at another eight or nine months. So we have a limit as to how much people can be exposed. So the doctors will be looking when they come back from this mission to make sure that theyre not anywhere where are close to their limits if they want to fly again the other thing is they do not have the Space X Space Suits to come home. So, but nasa is taking nasa along with spacex is taking measures to get suits to the Station Weve got six months to do that so they will have appropriate suits to come home and they took the measure of taking two members of the Crew9 Flight that should be launching here toward The End of this month, so that theyll have seats for Bundchen Sunday to come back as a part of the Crew9 Crew when they return and when you look at the starliner, which spent six hours coming back to earth from the international Space Station today what was the riskiest part of that journey back to earth . You know that some Reentry Reentry the deOrbit Burn is always a risky part because if you dont get it right, youre not on the proper trajectory for going for reentering the atmosphere and theres always a chance to the vehicle will burn up or skip out. So thats thats the number one risk. And i think when the when the people in houston and at boeing, were thinking about the decision to whether or not to bring the crew in that was not a small risk. You know, if the thrusters did not work correctly and you got a faulty deOrbit Burn than we probably would not have been able to safety safely get the crew back. I think most people felt very confident i know boeing felt confident that everything would work. They felt that they understood the problem what we what i think they dont understand what i dont understand is the physics of a thrusters. And thats, i think its a Teflon Liner that that didnt behave exactly the way that they thought they would so the thrusters behaved or perform. I think perfectly based on the success of the reentry and of course, this particular mission, it was way behind schedule more than A Billion over budget. A bit speak to us about the importance of nasa having these commercial relationships with the likes of Boeing And Spacex well, is the guy who was there when the decision was made that we were going to do this it is critically important that we have alternative providers that you have backups one of the big reasons is you want to be able to control the cost. And when you have multiple providers, you have alternatives, then you have competition and the cost stays down. You never want to find yourself with a sole provider. So we need to get boeing flying. We have another company called Sierra Space that i think some in the next few months should fly. Their vehicle for Cargo Delivery and it has a crew capability, but i think theyre years away with that, so we need an alternative provider. This was the point that we had most of our battles with congress in getting funding for the commercial Crew Program when we went to them in 2000, 2011 and they fail to fund the commercial Crew Program and failed to do so for almost five years. And thats what thats what really put the Program Behind was the failure to get full funding for the program so that we could get started in earnest, right .

Republican president ial Nominee Donald Trump is praising the Judges Decision in his hush Money Trial to delay sentencing until after november 26. Well, after the election, trump took time off from campaigning friday to appear in another manhattan courtroom. He listened to arguments in his appeal against the verdict that eg carroll, one against him for sexual Abuse And Defamation Cnns Kaitlin Polantz has more on both cases. A judge in the state of New York says hes not going to sentence Donald Trump 41 days before the president ial election. Instead, Donald Trump will be sentenced on november 26, a couple weeks later for the 34 criminal counts that a jury has found him guilty of for sending Hush Money Payments to the porn star, stormy daniels because of an alleged affair he was trying to keep quiet during the last time or two times ago that Trump Ran for president. This situation is one that has never been handled in any court before. And Judge Juan Merchan in New York acknowledged this and four Page Letter on friday, moving the Sentencing Date. He wrote that this is a matter that stands alone and one of the most critical and difficult decisions a Trial Court Judge faces that the proceeding should be so protected, the justice here should have so much integrity. The Jury Verdict should be protected the independence of the judiciary should be acknowledged. To the point where this sentencing cannot take place before the election. Judge merchan does not want to Advantage Or Disadvantage any political Party Or Candidate and thus is moving the Sentencing Date of Donald Trump so theres the possibility now that trump either could be a criminal defendant with no special powers whatsoever at his disposal come november if he loses the election, or he could be the President Elect of the united states, a man with Pardon Power over federal protections a federal convictions, but not somebody who would have any part in power in a State Case like this, this hush money criminal conviction. So a lot is going to be happening over the next couple of weeks. There. We also are very aware that his team is going to continue to fight, not just the fact that hes going to the sentence here in this case in november, but all of the cases and to that point on friday, his team was in court on friday in an Appeals Court, trump attended a hearing to last about a half an hour before three judges, where theyre trying to overturn a 5,000,000 Defamation Verdict that a jury awarded to the Columnist E Jean carroll for sexual Abuse And Defamation. No decision was made on friday, but we will await that decision from the Appeals Court and whether the trial is conducted appropriately in the coming weeks or months. Katelyn polantz, cnn, washington well, the race for the White House is in a critical stage right now with just 60 days until the election.
