Engineers and christina cook, and they're both flight engineers aboard the international space station. it is such an honor to speak with both of you. and before we get to talk about the apollo landing and the significance of that, just tell us about your mission. >> well, as you mentioned we are currently aboard the international space station which is an orbiting laboratory and every day we are partaking in hundreds of science experiments here onboard for the benefit of man kind to explore or universe and learn more about our planet. i've been here for about six months and i go home next wee...

Flight engineers. there is a helmet cam and they are holding a tool working on the canada arm two replacing a latching hand on the robotic arm. had the government shutdown still been in effect this is what you would see right now. nothing but this exciting slate on nasa tv. it was broadcast while the stars were moving the government work was not. it's back to operations and the static fire test with spacexs rocket will happen tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. >> bill: breaking developments this hour. we're learning more about the news text message between former f.b.i. officials peter strzok...
