Mark strassmann is at the Kennedy Space center. Mark, i know weather is delaying the launch but not the way people may think. Explain this one to us. Reporter hey, jamie. There were worries about the winds at the launchpad behind me, but the main concern was with the rocket landing. Remember, one of the keys to the success of spacex is reusability. After launch, the Company Wants to land the rocket noseup on a drone ship out in the atlantic, recover it, so they can use it again for the next crew flight scheduled for march.

And while everyone misses the iconic roar of of the augusta crowd, it is now a much more intimate experience, eavesdropping on some of the worlds greatest players oh, that was so bad. Reporter and cbs sports golf analyst Dottie Pepper says the patronless views are also a revelation. So youre going to see the terrain that makes this place so difficult.

To hear firsthand what its been like, we asked seyed rahim bathaie, our tehran producer, who has covered many stories with us over the years and who has lost two friends to covid. Tw long was it before people began to take it seriously . Well, i think in the beginning, maybe like everywhere else, they didnt take it as seriously as they should have. Reporter but iran, like the rest of the world, watched its hospitals fill up and recognized it faced a crisis, with religion as the super spreader that is, crowded public prayer gatherings. Officials took a hard look at the science, though, and made a radical decision close down the religious sites temporarily to slow the infection. This is for first time in 1,400 years that they have closed down the holy shrines. And that was a big action to do. Reporter at the same time, scientists at tehrans Pasteur Institute urgently tackled covid testing. Dr. Mostafa vaziris team ramped up production from 10 tests per day to 30,000.
