think about that. that will save you some money at the pump. and that is why we are helping companies like this one right here and plants like this one right here to make more cars and trucks that use less oil. when i ran for office, i went to detroit and gave a speech to automakers where i promised that i was going to raise fuel standards on our cars so that they'd go further on a gallon of gas. i said we should do the same thing on trucks. i have to tell you when i said it, i didn't get a lot of applause in the room because there was a time when automakers were resisting higher fuel standards, because change isn't easy. but you know what? after three decades of not doing anything, we got together with the oil companies, we got together with the unions, we got together with folks who usually do not see eye to eye and we negotiated new fuel economy standards that are going to make sure our cars average nearly 55 miles per hour by the middle of the next decade. that's nearly double what they get today. [ applause ] nearly double. now, because of these new standards for cars and trucks, they're going to -- they're all going to be able to go further and use less fuel every year. and that means pretty soon you'll be able to fill up your car every two weeks instead of every week. and over time, that saves you -- a typical family, about $8,000 a year. you like that, don't you? $8,000, that's no joke. we can reduce our oil consumption by more than 12 billion barrels. and thanks to the super truck program that we've started with companies like this one, trucks will be able to save more than $15,000 in fuel costs every year. think about that, $15,000. looks like somebody might have fainted up here. do we have some ems -- folks do this all the time in my meetings. you always got to eat before you stand for a long time. that's a little tip. but they'll be okay. just make sure -- give them a little room. everybody all right? okay. so these trucks can save $15,000 every year. i want people to think about what that means for businesses, what it means for consumers. it is real progress and it's happening because of american workers and american know-how. it's happening because of you. it's happening because of you. we're also making it easier for big companies, some of your customers, like u.p.s. and fedex, to make the shift to fuel-efficient cars and trucks. we call it the national clean fleets partnership. and since we announced it last year, the number of companies that are taking part in it has tripled. that means more customers for your trucks. [ applause ] creating more customers for your trucks. and i am proud to say that the federal government is leading by example. one thing the federal government has a lot of is cars and trucks. we've got a lot of cars and we've got a lot of trucks. >> we're listening to president obama, campaign-style obama there, talking about the need for fuel-efficiency vehicles. i'm suzanne malveaux. want to get you up to speed. peyton manning turned indianapolis into a football city. well, now, the team -- the colts letting the star quarterback go. manning was out for the entire 2011 season after undergoing neck surgery. team owner jim irsay and manning made the announcement at an emotional news conference just last hour. >> i haven't thought yet about where i'll play, but i have thought a lot about where i've been. and i've truly been blessed. i've been blessed to play here. i've been blessed to be in the nfl. it's on to the next contest and the fierce competition for the republican presidential nomination. mitt romney didn't manage a knockout punch but he sounded confident about the look ahead. >> tonight, we're doing some counting. we're counting up the delegates for the convention and it looks good. and we're counting down the days until november. and that looks even better. >> romney leads in delegates with 404. rick santorum won three states. he's got 165. newt gingrich has 106 after winning georgia. ron paul has 66. ohio congressman dennis kucinich loses his bid for reelection. he was defeated by fellow house democrat marcy captor. both ended up in the same district after a tough redistricting battle. this is the guy we came to know as joe the plumber. he challenged then candidate obama's tax plan. an opposition group says at least 25 people were killed today in street fighting across syria. most of them in the city of homs. at the same time, we're hearing that aid workers from the syrian red crescent finally managed to enter neighborhoods and homes where the fighting is the worst. they brought in one doctor, some food and some blankets. the u.s. defense secretary does not want to get involved in syria right now. that's despite pressure from some senior senate republicans to end this conflict militarily. senator john mccain today demanded to know from leon panetta how many more syrians and civilians have to die before u.s. forces intervene. >> how many more have to die? 10,000 more, 20,000 more, how many more? >> i think the question, as you stated yourself, senator, is the effort to try to build an international consensus as to what action we do take. that makes the most sense. what doesn't make sense is to take unilateral action at this point. as secretary of defense, before i recommend that we put our sons and daughters in uniform, in harm's way, i've got to make very sure that we know what the mission is. attention, tech junkies. your wait is almost over. in this hour, apple is expected to unveil the new ipad. alison kosik is at the new york stock exchange. i've got the dinosaur version here. you tell me what's going to be different from what i have here and what we're going to see later this afternoon. >> reporter: oh, yeah. so the pressure is certainly on apple to come up with something snazzy this time around. but remember, the ipad 2, which replaced the original one, only had small incremental changes. but expectations are higher this time. and apple feeds this frenzy by being notoriously tight-lipped. but the word on the street is this new ipad is going to have 4g connectivity, it's going to be faster than the current 3g network. word is it's going to have siri and its screen resolution is said to be double the current ipad and it's said to have a better camera and longer battery life. it sounds like it could put my ipad 2 -- it could become a doorstop like yours, suzanne. do you have the original one? >> yeah. kind of an expensive doorstop. but, yeah -- so you would get the new one, yes? do you think? >> reporter: would i get the new one? i'm really happy with this one. >> that's okay. talk a little bit about the culture of the company. it was less than a year ago since steve jobs died. how is apple doing without his input, his guidance, even? >> reporter: you know what? all you have to do is look at the numbers. judging from the stock price, right now it's going for -- apple shares are going for $534 a share. apple is doing pretty darn good. look at how apple's done over the past three months. apple shares up 36%. they topped $500 a few weeks ago. almost on a daily basis, apple shares really hit record highs. it's a sign of confidence in the company. but apple's been dealing with a big p.r. nightmare. allegations abou unsafe working conditions on chinese suppliers including foxconn. apple is taking it seriously, apparently. but as far as the business goes, no major effect -- people are still hungry for their gadgets. the ipad still has almost 60% share of the tablet market. it doesn't seem to be affecting apple's bottom line in any way right now. >> the late steve jobs' imprint is on everything apple. we look forward to seeing what's next here as they unveil this. thanks again, alison. here's a rundown of the stories we're covering this hour. first, a new theory about the sinking of the "titanic." the moon, right, may have been partly to blame?

>> reporter: in lebanon they're not really ready or prepared for it at the moment. and the refugees feel safe in that community. the townspeople say they would love to help but they are running out of space. i was in tripoli today at an organization there that was helping with the medical needs, the humanitarian needs of refugees coming in from syria. they say they don't have enough money. people are coming with medical conditions, medical injuries, injuries to heads and such like. they don't have the money to treat them. this is because the government here is not really set up to reach out and help all the syrian refugees. so right now, there's a massive shortfall in what's needed to help the people that are here, let alone if more people were to cross over the border, which is a very real fear, if assad's forces move onto other towns. >> nic, what do we know about the aid, the shipments that are now reportedly allowed into homs? is that making a difference? is it actually getting to the people who need it? >> reporter: we don't really have a very good assessment so far of what difference it's making. the syrian government has made it incredibly difficult until today for humanitarian supplies to get into that neighborhood of b -- the u.n.'s chief humanitarian representative, valerie amos, was there and she went into the town. supplies have been handed out to some of the people who have fled into neighboring villages. but we don't have a good analysis of how much is needed how much more is required in the future and what good it's doing because there aren't independent witnesses there that can tell us. >> nic, excellent reporting. obviously a lot of need. those people there inside of syria, aid that is desperately trying to get to those people as that fighting in that country is continuing. brace yourself. i want you to see this. sun sending mighty powerful energy this way. we'll tell you what to expect from a solar flare. for their clients' futures. helping millions of americans retire on their terms. when they want. where they want. doing what they want. ameriprise. the strength of a leader in retirement planning. the heart of 10,000 advisors working with you one-to-one. together for your future. ♪ in here, the landscaping business grows with snow. to keep big winter jobs on track, at&t provided a mobile solution that lets everyone from field workers to accounting, initiate, bill, and track work in real time. you can't live under a dome in minnesota, that's why there's guys like me.

when you see what happened over the ten states. >> it was certainly a win. it was decisive. does it mean he's absolutely, positively going to get the republican nomination? no, it's still a contest. i don't think he's going to do well, for example, next tuesday in alabama and mississippi. i don't know if he's going to win kansas which is this kansas. santorum could do well in kansas. gingrich, for all we know, could do well in mississippi and alabama. he just canceled a trip to kansas to focus in on mississippi and alabama. let's see what happens and then we'll be able to make a better prediction. >> we'll be watching very closely. and a fight to the finish, that's what some republican candidates and their supporters are promising. here's what newt gingrich's daughter said about the campaign now going forward. >> you expect him to go for a while at this? do you expect him to go all the way to the convention? >> i love the way you say go for a while. he's going all the way to the convention. he's said it from the beginning. people keep saying, does he really mean that? absolutely he means that. >> sarah palin, she says she's not going to say "no" if her name gets thrown into the ring. >> it's the open convention question, if we wind up with an open convention and someone wants to place your name -- throw your name into the hat, would you stop them? would you be open to that? >> as i say, anything is possible. and i don't close any doors that perhaps would be open out there. no, i wouldn't close that door. my plan is to be at that convention. >> all right. so what happens if the fight goes all the way to the convention? brian monroe, editor of cnnpolitics.com is here. good to see you. we've talked a lot of this yesterday in anticipation of what was going to happen. how would that work? >> here's the deal. the way that the convention process is set up is convoluted and changed this time around. the republicans changed their methodology. but the deal is that if no single candidate gets 1,144 delegates, the magic number, going into the convention in tampa this summer, then it could be open. and what does that mean? on the first ballot -- the first time they raise their hand and vote for, i want mitt romney or rick santorum, to be our nominee, if he doesn't get that magic number on the first ballot, many of those delegates are free to go for somebody else. that somebody else could be a nomination from the floor of the convention itself. look, here's the real deal. i don't think that's going to happen. both parties have got enough of the system together where they don't want that to happen, particularly republicans, for this to be a floor fight in open convention in tampa would just be a disaster. >> it was funny because we got a chance to see sarah palin. that was probably one of the most interesting moments of the evening when she weighed in on 2016, it was like, whoa. is it possible for her at this point to jump in this go-round? >> it all depends on what happens in these next few states. romney did well last night, not as well as he had hoped in ohio. it was close. but these next states are going to be really important, kansas, mississippi, alabama. socially conservative states that would tend to be more santorum states. romney has to win every state from here on out in order to clinch by may. if he doesn't, there's a real chance he may not have enough numbers. if that happens, sarah palin could step in at the floor of the convention or just before and say, hey, pick me, pick me. jeb bush could do the same, mitch daniels, chris christie, some of the other names. it could be an open free-for-all. i don't think that's going to happen. there's too much at stake for the republican party to not go into the convention with that much chaos. it would not look good. >> would not happen. but wouldn't it be entertaining? >> oh, yeah. great story to cover. >> absolutely. bryan, great to see you. >> thanks. cnn gets an exclusive access inside the space shuttle "endeavour." we are live at the kennedy space center. that's up next. not nearly as complicated as shipping it though. i mean shipping is a hassle. not with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service. if it fits it ships, anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. that is easy. best news i've heard all day! i'm soooo amped! i mean not amped. excited. well, sort of amped. really kind of in between. have you ever thought about decaf? do you think that would help? yeah. priority mail flat rate shipping starts at just $5.15, only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship. wow, what an opportunity for cnn. check it out. >> expanding our knowledge, expanding our lives in space. >> this is "endeavour." >> this was the historic launch of space shuttle "endeavour" last may at the kennedy space center. it was the final mission of the shuttle program. commander mark kelly was at the controls. today nasa granted cnn exclusive access to the now-retired space shuttle. john zarrella at the kennedy space center right now. you and i were at that historic launch. that was absolutely amazing. now you have all kinds of things going on. you had an exclusive chance to check out the shuttle for yourself. >> reporter: yeah, we got inside. now that all three space shuttles are retired and being readied for the museums, nasa's allowed us some extremely rare access inside the space shuttle "endeavour." now, it's in the orbiter processing facility right now. and of course the cargo bay is absolutely immense. you can really see that well from the outside. but because it is in the orbiter processing facility being readied for its museum trip, you can't see a whole lot else on the outside. it's all encased in scaffolding. the engines have been removed. you can barely see the nose cone. you can see the tiles on the underbelly, the thousands of heat-shielding tiles, really well. but, of course, they say it's what's on the inside that counts. and that, suzanne, is really cool. i'm sitting over here in the commander's seat. on of course the final flight, this is where mark kelly sat on lift-off and when he brought her in for that final landing. >> this is their living quarters. we're in the mid deck now. flight deck's above us. mid deck is where they eat, sleep, potty, do their normal -- >> reporter: you could have five, six, seven people down here all at once. >> definitely. there's not as much equipment in here now as there would be an launch date. there would be lockers out here to about 18 inches. >> reporter: not a lot of room up here in the cockpit. but if you have something to do out in the cargo bay, you can do it all right from here. maneuver the shuttle from here, work the robotic arm from here. and right out there is the massive cargo bay. down the mid deck where the astronauts, when they sleep, they actually sleep in sacks up against the wall literally like in a cocoon. that's how they all fit in that mid deck area. for the workers here who are still here at the kennedy space center preparing these shuttles for their final spots in the museums, it's really a difficult time. >> the thing that we've been trying to focus on is how fortunate we are to continue to work with these vehicles until the very end. there's a lot of our co-workers and friends that didn't get this opportunity. we're shuttle huggers, holding on to the very end. >> reporter: and they really are, suzanne. they love what they do. we loved getting inside there. "endeavour" is going to go to the california science center. and "atlantis" will be staying here. those should both move in the fall. >> john, i'm so jealous. the commander's seat, really? that was pretty amazing. >> reporter: the commander's seat, suzanne. >> were you surprised at all, anything that you saw inside surprised you or you didn't expect? >> reporter: yeah, you know what surprised me is how small it was in there. when you see it on tv and they're floating up there in that mid deck area, it looks like they've got a lot of room. but there really isn't. they are cramped in there. suzanne, one other thing, a huge event, april 17th, "discovery" will leave here on the back of a 747, fly up the east coast at daybreak and it will land before 10:30 a.m. at dulles. we're not sure if they're going to do a flyover. but "discovery" is going to smithsonian. and it will be the first one in its permanent museum home. that's going to be one spectacular morning for a lot of people all up and down the east coast. >> that would be so incredible. >> reporter: come on down. >> i will join you. thank you, john. do you prefer to get your caffeine high from coffee or in a spray? well, if you answered spray, the fda has actually sent out a warning when it comes to this product.

this is big news. and what do you see? clean lines connecting city to city. the map shows you where we go... but not how we get there. because in this business... there are no straight lines. only the twists and turns of an unpredictable industry. the passengers change... the gates change. government regulations change... oil peaks and plummets. and let's not even get started on the weather. the fact is: no two flights are ever the same. no matter how many times we've accomplished them in the past. the eighty-thousand employees at delta... must predict the unpredictable. anticipate the unexpected. and never let the rules... overrule common sense. this is how we tame the unwieldiness of air travel. pull it taut... and wrap it around the globe... until it's not just lines you see... it's the world. stories we're covering across the country, massive fire early this morning in hole yoyo massachusetts left ten people home little. it spread to a vacant house. a man is being called a hero after pulling this man from a burning car. the driver had run into a utility pole. the wires fell and set the car on fire. >> i was afraid my uniform shirt was going to start melting because they're positively yes, sir -- polyester. >> we came around and both of us together were able to wedge this guy from the driver's side and pull him out. >> an 81-year-old woman has won the third largest powerball jackpot in the history of the gra game. check it out. louise white from shreveport, louisiana won $400 million. the valedictorian got news that she can stay in the united states, at least temporarily. so can her sister. our affiliate has the latest from north miami, florida. >> it's crazy. it's been like a roller coaster of emotions. >> she's at a high point. she'll get to stay in the united states, at least for now. >> i can't believe i get to stay for graduation. >> reporter: she is the valedictorian and both she and her sister were facing deportation to columbia within a month. but ever since their story went public last week, students and the community have rallied to their defense. and on tuesday, immigrations and customs decided to allow the sisters to stay for two more years. >> i'm very grateful. i told my sister, we are so blessed. >> reporter: but the decision is bitt bittersweet because the women are still here illegally and face deportation again in 2014. >> it is good we are moving forward. ho however, that is not the goal. the goal is to keep them here permanently. >> their lawyer is filing a motion to keep them here as permanent residents. >> i was raised here. this is all i know. >> i'm grateful to it but in two years we're going to be want to go stay again. >> she says she must get back to the books to maintain her 6.7 gpa. >> i still have homework. >> u.s. immigrations issued this statement on the case, saying ice has exercised prosecutetorial discretion in daniel la and dayana's case and will defer action for two years. >> hi, i'm brooke baldwin. there's a lot going on. mike, roll it. feeling pretty good about that ipad 2? guess what? that is so two months ago. steve cook just made the big rhee ve reveal. i'm talking about the new ipad. it has high resolution, 3.1 million picks -- pixels. pre-orders, you can get them today at the same price points. we're talking 499 to $820. i tweeted this out and i recommend you follow our correspondent in silicon valle., he is a tweeting fee ining fien altogethall the updates on the ipad. i know you were up late watching. mitt romney winning big on super tuesday. he won six races, but get this, santorum won 3 races, newt gingrich won one, so there was really no knockout punch. wolf blitzer is going to join me to taublk about why romney is i such a tough spot. sarah palin made a little news on cnn putting herself back in the conversation. we'll revisit that, coming up. president obama in north carolina today. he's talking jobs, he's talking clean energy at this manufacturing facility there. what he did was unveil a new program aimed at challenging communities to embrace more fuel-efficient technologies. >> i'm announcing today a program that will put our communities on the cutting edge of what clean energy can do. the cities and towns all across the country, what we're going to say is, if you make a commitment to buy more advanced vehicles for your community, whether they run on electricity or biofuels or natural gas, we'll help you cut through the red tape and build fueling stations nearby. also today, six british soldiers are presumed dead after their armored vehicle apparently hit a land mine in afghanistan. all this happened while they were out and about on patrol in western afghanistan. nato-led assistance force has secured the area but they will not officially confirm the deaths until they get inside the damaged vehicle. >> i've been a coach for almost all of my adult life. but i guess in life and in sports, we all know that nothing lasts forever. times change, circumstances change, and that's the reality of playing in the nfl. peyton manning choking back some tears after the colts' owner announced the quarterback's release. the four-time league mvp missed last season because of that neck injury. manning is now able to go to any team in the league that he would like. the colts will have the number one pick there in a month in the draft. we have confirmed the hacking group anonymous took down the vatican web site today. in fact, cnn just spoke with sources that say hackers within anonymous italy, they are indeed responsible for the attack. this is the very same group that has admitted to taking down the cia web site, the fbi in the past. we're making calls and will update you as soon as we get this. also the man accused of killing 77 people in norway officially charged today. police say he detonated a bomb and shot up a camp full of kids last summer. there is a big debate, though, over his sanity which will affect the punishment. should he be convicted here? prosecutors call this guy psychotic. iran accused of not telling the entire truth when it comes to its nuclear program. tehran claims its program is for peaceful purposes, but the head of the international watchdog group says it's difficult to tell whether that's actually true. all of this comes one day after the u.s. and other countries agreed to go back to the negotiating table with iran. and now, who do you got? you have prince harry versus the fastest man in the world in jamaica. take a look. yeah, he let him do that. probably the prince not qualified for the summer olympic games in london, but it was all smiles. there we go. striking the vault signature pose. this is yesterday. the prince has been touring the caribbean this week in honor of the queen's 60 years on the throne. >> we are just getting started here. a green beret dies trying to save his two daughters. find out what this dad did moments after the family's house burst into flames. the feds say cyberattacks could be america's biggest threat. you're going to hear how easy a target the government is. plus, who are the richest people in the world? forbes has just released its annual billionaire list, and we've got it. and a supermodel's dramatic love life played out in public. why christie brinkley's staff said she threw the entire family under the bus. i care about my car because... i think it's a cool car. i think it's stylish and it makes a statement at the same time. and i've never had a car like that. people don't totally understand how the volt works. when the battery runs down the gas engine operates. i don't ever worry about running out of battery power... because it just switches over to my gas engine. i very rarely put gas in my chevy volt. i love my chevy volt and i've never loved a car. ♪ i get congested. but now, with zyrtec-d®, i have the proven allergy relief of zyrtec®, plus a powerful decongestant. zyrtec-d® lets me breath freer, so i can love the air. [ male announcer ] zyrtec-d®. behind the pharmacy counter. no prescription needed. the calcium they take because they don't take it with food. switch to citracal maximum plus d. it's the only calcium supplement that can be taken with or without food. that's why my doctor recommends citracal maximum. it's all about absorption. at meineke i have options... like oil changes starting at $19.95. my money. my choice. my meineke. absolutely no question here, the situation in syria is quite desperate. syrian refugees are now pouring into neighboring lebanon as syrian forces bombard syria's border towns. back here in the united states, though, this is a senate hearing specifically on syria. you have all this back and forth getting very intense this morning between senator john mccain and leon panetta. mccain is calling for military intervention and panetta is pushing back. i want to play just one of these exchanges. >> can you tell us how much longer the killing would have to continue, how many additional civilian lives would have to be lost in order to convince you that the military measures of this kind that we are proposing necessary to end the killing and force to leave power, how many have to die? 10 more, 25 more, how many more? >> i think the question, as you stated yourself, senator, is the effort to try to build an international consensus as to what action we do take. that makes the most sense. what doesn't make sense is to take unilateral action at this point. as secretary of defense, before i recommend that we put our sons and daughters in uniform in harm's way, i've got to make very sure that we know what the mission is, i've got to make very sure that we know whether we can achieve that mission, at what price, and whether or not it will make matters better or worse. >> i want to talk a little bit more about what was going on there, right? chris lawrence at the pentagon. that was just one example of some of this exchange between the ranking senator and the secretary of defense. let's talk about another exchange, though, it happened over the issue of the u.s. asking permission to actually launch an attack. what happened there? >> yeah, brooke, secretary panetta was talking with senator john sessions and he said basically, the secretary did, that the u.s. would seek to get permission from an international body and then come back and inform congress of what it intended to do or wanted to do. senator sessions shot back that that seems very mixed up. you should be coming to congress first, getting permission from congress, then taking that to the international body. the secretary may have been trying to say what he was looking for was an agreement. in any case, senator carl levin had to jump in, basically stop everything and say, wait a minute, you were looking for something like an international legal basis for going in. is that what you meant to say? and he said, that's what i meant to say. so he got a say from senator levin. we got a question about clarification and haven't gotten anything back yet, but this all comes down to the bigger issue of the fact that the pentagon and military leaders do not unilaterally want to go into syria. >> right, the secretary saying he wanted some sort of international consensus. the president yesterday was even part of that news conference saying, look, it's just complicated when you talk about syria. has panetta given any indication about what a potential military strike would look like, if that were to happen? >> yaureah, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff laid out anything to a no-fly zone to limited air strikes. basically what he said was the u.s. military could very easily conduct a single raid-like strike. what would be difficult is a sustained campaign over time, and he said there's several reasons for that, primarily because, he said, if you compare syria to libya, syria's air defenses are about five times as powerful and as vast as what libya had, and they're concentrated in about one-fifth of the area. what that means is you have a much more heavily populated area there on the western border, much, much higher possibility of having civilian casualties. another thing the military is grappling with right now is there could be up to 100 of these military groups within this overall rebel force, so to speak. they're not exactly sure who is who yet, and there doesn't seem to be any area in syria where the rebels have firm command of an area, that they can sort of co co cordon off like you had there in libya. >> there is no ben gazi of syria yet? >> exactly, sort of a base of operations where they can say these are rebel lands, and to this area, these are the regime's forces. >> it's not the same, it's not. chris lawrence, appreciate you there at the pentagon. you don't even have to be a football fan to appreciate this. one of the most celebrated quarterbacks in the history of the sport made a huge announcement today. peyton manning leaving the colts. it's like a sauna in here. helping you save, even if it's not with us -- now, that's progressive! call or click today. no mas pantalones! 13 snz seasons, 139 wins. those are some of the stats of the free agent peyton manning in announcing the decision to relieve him just a little while ago. the coach talked about what manning has meant to the team in indianapolis. >> the good times we've had, the laughs we've shared together, you know, growing up together in the organization, when a 37-year-old owner meets a 22-year-old player coming out of tennessee and the dreams that we had and the experience is beyond my imagination. and as difficult as this is, i know that our journey together hasn't ended, it's really just begun. when i look down the road and see the many decades going forward that we'll share together and how he's always part of the horseshoe. >> a little emotional there. so what is next for peyton manning? what's next for the colts? i'm going to bring in ashley fox. she is with espn.com. ashley, it's not often you see grown men cry here, but let's not sugarcoat this. the colts signed him to this mega contract, he got hurt, he was out all this past season. the team just can't take the risk. is that right? >> well, pretty much. there's a couple other numbers you didn't mention. the biggest one and most relevant today is 28 million, which was the signing bonus that the colts owed peyton tomorrow, plus another 7.5 million in salary for 2012. this comes down to a financial decision. but it's an emotional day nonetheless. you're talking about a four-time mvp of the national football league. these guys don't get released very often. he won a super bowl, he was named mvp of the super bowl, he won nine division titles. they had, you know, nine consecutive seasons of at least ten wins or more, and before peyton manning arrived, nobody cared about the indianapolis colts, and now they care very deeply about them. >> we could go on with the numbers. if i may, i'd like to quote you. there are no fairy tales, not in professional sports, only reminders of how harsh a business it is. he's about to turn the ripe old age of 36, i guess, on the 24th of this month. my next question is, what is next for him? let's hear what he said earlier. >> i don't want to retire. no, i don't feel i need to improve, but nobody loves their job more than i do. nobody loves playing quarterback more than i do. i still want to play. >> where does this guy go? he's still got a lot of playing in him, don't you think? >> it's funny listening to him because he seems very confident in his ability to continue moving forward without the colts, and jim ersay, the owner, didn't sound near as confident about the ability of the colts to move forward without peyton manning. peyton manning as a free agent is going to have plenty of options. miami, washington, arizona, kansas city, houston, seattle -- take your pick. and the thing about peyton is that he has earned an inordinate amount of money in his career from the colts. so money will not be his driving motivator in this. he is going to want to go somewhere where he can compete and win immediately. because at 36, you know, he's got a very limited window for how long his career will last, but he wants to go win and win now. >> i mean, obviously, he's built quite the brand. he will be missed in indianapolis. how do the colts fill the void? will this guy from stanford do the trick and no one will bat an eye? >> i don't know if anyone will bat an eye. you look at peyton manning and what he's done for the organization, for the city of indianapolis, for the state of indiana. you know, there's a beautiful downtown football stadium called lucas oil stadium that's in indianapolis that is there because of peyton manning. the city just hosted the cash cow known as the super bowl because of peyton manning and that stadium. so he is going to be missed. but, you know, the colts might not have done this had they not held the number one pick in the upcoming draft and had stanford quarterback andrew luck not been available. the early reviews are he is a can't-miss prospect. they don't come around very often. peyton manning was one himself. but until you get into the nfl and you get into a system and you are the man, no one knows for sure. there are plenty of instances where there are quarterbacks who turn out to be busts. no one thinks andrew luck is going to be a bust, but no one knows until he gets to indy. >> and i guess nobody knows if ersay will rue the day that manning went bye bye. >> right. we shall see. >> ashley fox, thank you very much. espn.com. remember the video of the father shooting his daughter's laptop after she posted some hateful things on facebook?

>> obviously, romney has a significant lead in the delegate count, and he's the only woun who could realistically get to that number of 404, but let's see what happens. the people will speak. >> the people spoke last night on twitter, so in the midst of our mega super tuesday coverage, up pops our own in alaska with former governor and fox contributors. >> still a resident. >> still a resident. and they made a little news, did they not? >> we have a little clip. sarah palin, she rarely speaks to cnn, obviously, she works for fox news, but she did speak last night live on cnn. >> anything is possible, and i don't -- i don't close any doors that perhaps would be open out there, so, no, i wouldn't close that door, and my plan is to be at that convention. >> so door open in terms of if there is a broker convention, if no one gets to that magic number, she's essentially saying if someone tosses her name out, she won't necessarily shoot them down. >> she didn't rule out any options as far as her name being thrown out there if there is a deadlock at the convention. she says, let's see what happens. and she certainly wasn't ruling out the possibility of 2016. she's still a relatively young woman. >> right, you asked her about that. >> i know, so who knows what she'll do in 2016. in the meantime, she's having a good time. >> reality check, wolf blitzer. this is something mitt romney was saying that it really ultimately has to end up with one of the four guys. >> he was on "squawk box" this morning. do we have that clip of romney? >> nope. >> i'll read it to you. one thing i can tell you for sure is there is not going to be a broker convention where some new person comes in and becomes the nominee. it's going to be one of the four people that are still running. he was firm. sarah palin may be leaving open the option of being some white knight coming into the convention in tampa. romney is saying that's not going to happen. >> okay. thank you. now this. coming up next, talking space with john zarrella taking a crew going inside the belly of a space shuttle. we're talking inside. space time next. our neighbors... and our communities... america's beverage companies have created a wide range of new choices. developing smaller portion sizes and more low- & no-calorie beverages... adding clear calorie labels so you know exactly what you're choosing... and in schools, replacing full-calorie soft drinks with lower-calorie options. with more choices and fewer calories, america's beverage companies are delivering. a little bird told me about a band... ♪ an old man shared some fish stories... ♪ oooh, my turn. ♪ she was in paris, but we talked for hours... everyone else buzzed about the band. there's a wireless mind inside all of us. so, where to next?

>> reporter: the coolest part is being inside there and realizing just how cramped it is. the astronauts when they sleep, they're in sleeping bags standing against the wall, literally like caterpillars in cocoons and there is not much room when you put a galley in there, on top of their equipment and the fact they're all hanging out in there. sitting in that cockpit where mark kelly and so many other commanders sat is absolutely fascinating. >> do we know when these shuttles will hit their final resting place in the country, that is, that any other members of the public will be able to crawl around inside just like you did? >> you know, no. the answer is -- my understanding is no, you will not be able to. you'll be able to look in the hatch like we were able where you crawl in. you'll be able to look through the glass in the front through the cockpit. it's all going to depend on the display. but i tell you, for the workers here who have been fortunate enough to stay and finish up these jobs, it's been very, very difficult. >> the thing that we've been trying to focus on is how fortunate we are to continue to work with these vehicles until the very end. there are a lot of our coworkers and friends that didn't get that opportunity. there is a small group of us that have been very fortunate to have a part of this. we're shuttle huggers. we're holding on until the very end. >> you mentioned "endeavour" is going to the california science center. that will be sometime in the fall. the atlantis is staying here at the business complex, so they don't have to transport it on a 747. but the big show is going to be next month, april 17. discovery, the oldest of the shuttles, will be put on a 747, ferried out right here on the landing strip about daybreak on the 17th. thousands of people will be here to watch that. and then it's going to fly up the east coast to the u.s. so more people can see it, and then it's going to arrive at dulles in washington by 10:30 in the morning. not sure what kind of flyovers they're going to do yet in washington because of all the restricted air space and everything up there, but right away, as soon as it gets on the ground, they're going to start work on getting it into the museum. so it will be the first one on permanent display in a museum. and that is going to be one heck of a spectacular day on the 17th of april. >> before i let you go, i still carry around my nerdy sps135 badge from the atlantis back in july along with my cnn badge. it was so bittersweet back in july. do you still sense that bittersweetness there at kennedy?
