Hello and welcome to all our viewers watching from Around The World. On an occurrent ahead on Cnn Newsroom mission, completes the Polaris Dawn Crew was splashdown in the Gulf Of Mexico, just minutes from now after a history making It Spaceflight Doubling down on fear and conspiracy, Donald Trump speaks of an immigrant to the takeover after spreading falsehoods about migrants eating pets and missile launched from Yemen Lands in central israel, setting off Air Raid sirens and sending residents running for shelter by from Hong Kong this is Cnn Newsroom with Anna Coren we are just minutes away and counting down to splashdown of the historic Polaris Dawn Mission, spacex is just provided video of the crew and the spaceship as it heads Down To Earth. And we are looking at live pictures with the astronauts in their seats in the Nose Cone closing, the civilian crew of the Spacex Rocket lifted off on tuesday, looking to a new era in commercial Space Travel and exploration. Theyve been farther from the earth, than any humans since the apollo astronauts, more than 50 hes a ago. Theyve become the first commercial crew to walk in space a little while ago, they started the Deorbit Engine burn and as we say, a closed the Nose Cone or Recovery Ship is waiting in the Gulf Of Mexico for their arrival. Will cnns brian able has more on this historic mission and what it means as for the future of Space Exploration the significance of this mission, it cannot be overstated both for how it moves the ball closer to deeper exploration of space like missions to mars, but also for what it means for civilians getting to Experience Space at this level. Space X Mission Control erupting in cheers as the hatch of the Crew Dragon Capsule opens, exposing the four Crew Members inside to the vacuum of space over the following two hours, Billionaire Tech Ceo jared Issacman And Spacex engineers Sarah Gillis, complete The Worlds first commercial spacewalk for about ten minutes each from outside the capsule, Issacman Taking in views of Earth Passing by some 450 miles below your home. We all have a lot of work to do, but from here works or like a Perfect World the Mission Commander also bending and stretching this Space Dance meant to test how their suits move. No one has ever used this Space Suit out in space before. It opens up a whole new capability. We havent had a new Space Suit and over 40 years. So all the latest technology since then, integrated into a new tech suit, former internet national Space Station Commander Chris Hatfield says Thursdays Mission opens the door to exciting new opportunities. This Spacex Capsule has never gone down to the zero Pressure Vacuum of space before testing the hatches and all the equipment inside that everything worked and this historic mission surpass a few records including the first spacewalk of nongovernment astronauts, the highest orbit around earth, the first time for astronauts or simultaneously exposed to the vacuum of space, also the two women of the crew becoming the first ever to travel so far from our planet and the farthest any human has traveled from earth since the Apollo Program ended in 1972. In washington, im brian able reporting im joined live now by Cnn Aerospace Analyst Miles Obrien and Janet Ivey of the national Space Board of governors. Great to have you both with a miles, lets start with you. What can we anticipate over the next 30 or so minutes for the Polaris Dawn to see them reenter the atmosphere of earth and that is a very critical moment for any space mission. Of course the temperatures on the outside will be on the order of 2000 Degrees Celsius and you want to make sure the crew inside is protected from that. So there is a Heat Shield beneath them. Its called an ablative Heat Shield, meaning pieces of it sort of burn away as they come in dissipating the heat and the spacex Dragon Capsule as flown. Now, 54 times and it has, excuse me, 14 times with 54 people on board without any problems. So we shouldnt expect moment of emission when they come home at 336 eastern. That is when we are expecting splashdown in the Gulf Of Mexico, just off the coast of florida. And we are looking at live pictures of spacexs Mission Control jets but talk us through the risks of the Polaris Dawn, returning to earth and that splashed down off the coast of florida well, like he was saying that the capsule itself is feeling over 2000 Degrees Celsius. And its, its hurdling alon. You have to come in at just the right angle and trajectory. But the most amazing thing is that by the time those parachute here shoots deploy, and it is actually Splashing Down in the ocean. That spacecraft has gone from Traveling Thousands of miles an hour to go and only go about 20 miles an hour. And then its up to the folks who go out there get that capsule. But i think for this particular crew, most of the risk is over. They are just now calculating everything to perfection, to reenter the earths atmosphere. Its been an incredible mission to watch by this all civilian crew it is quite extraordinary, isnt it . Because many experts was saying there was so many risks involved in this mission and yet as you say, they are 30 minutes exactly to returning miles. Explain to me what the crew the four for four Crew Members, two men, two women, would be experiencing right now well theyre going to be experiencing this something they had felt for about five days, slowly but surely the effects of gravity as they were in orbit though the microgravity is a different place as you kind of float around in a free fall, essentially but as that speed dissipates from about 28,000 kilometers per hour to about 20. In a short period of time theyre going to start feeling some additional forces. We call them G Forces as they come in. And gforces her just a multiple of actual gravity so to three times the force of gravity as they start feeling the effects coming down. So they will, itll be a little bit of awakening after theyve had that. The blissful five days and floating around. But mostly what they do at this point on the draft i can capsule is monitor systems. Its an automated Aircraft Or Spacecraft in almost every way. Janet, this mission, as you said earlier, it has been an absolute success. Talk us through what they have achieved i mean, its like when you start talking milestones, i mean, theyve gone now further than any spacecraft has ever flown from earth, surpassing gemini 11, 853 miles above the earth to 875 miles a woman has actually don for a spacewalk at this incredible kind of like you know, above the earth that many miles two women have gone now further than any two women have ever gone away from earth in orbit. Weve seen spacewalks by an all civilian crew. And the quote that you guys played were jeering here it kinda comes up in his E Aggressing for the first time and you see that beautiful blue thin line of our atmosphere. And he goes you know, i know things are not perfect down there, but from up here it looks like a Perfect World. Theyve tested out even kind of like the starlinks lasers, and being down music, series of violinist. And so we get to hear this beautiful star Wars Thing that musicians from Around The World. But more importantly, theyve tested out some amazing things for Health And Safety of future astronauts from ultrasounds to gathering how much radiation as they traveled through the Van Allen Radiation belts. Theyre going to provide biological samples towards multi Omics Analysis for longterm effects of being in microgravity. In this kind of spheres of radiation and again, theyre going to be even kind of like looking further into that neural ocular syndrome, which a lot in microgravity, all those fluids of the body put a lot of pressure on that acip. Itll bone causing headaches causing some vision problems. So the things that all 36 experiments are too many to really name, they have really set the bar so high that the future of Space Exploration really is looking at this moment as an acceleration of things to come for Humanitys Place in space, were just looking at the clock now, 26 minutes until splashdown malls and they were concerns at the beginning that private citizens what up for the mission, what business did they have . Being up in spice considering they were not professional astronauts, does this mission and its success perhaps silence the critics and the deltas . Well im sure it will, but if you look at their resume, zana, these are not people who just kind of walked in randomly off the street in and strapped themselves into a rocket Jared Issacman, the billionaire who wrote the check to make this all happen. And you got to hand it to Elon Musk for finding a way not to have to pay a commander. Instead, its the opposite. He writes a big check to for the privilege. But hes got 7,000 hours of Aviation Experience he owned say, a smaller model of Fighter Jets that he flies in tight formation with the pilot beside him, who is Kidd Poteet a former thunderbirds for its pilot for the Air Force, and the two women are Senior Engineers at spacex involved in Crew Training and design of spacecrafts. So these are people who are very much a message to The World of Aviation And Space and have a tremendous amount of experience and i think what we say that theyre quote unquote civilian. It makes It Sound like theyre dilettantes and tourists, but these are very accomplished individuals who happen to be there on a private dime as opposed to nasa now i wasnt bryan Janet Ivey. We certainly appreciate you putting it all into perspective for us. Well come back to both of you for our live coverage of the splashdown now, in just 24 minutes well, still to come here on Cnn Newsroom, Donald Trump doubles down his falsehoods and Fear Mongering about immigration.
