Transcripts
liftoff.
Now, just 16 seconds away.
Let's listen to the official
NASA countdown.
Okay, let's do that.
We are almost 10s away from
from this folks listen in.
Believe.
Houston Starliner will.
Roger.
It.
Is.
You got a good throttle up.
If you're trying.
To.
Be good.
SRB. Burn up.
Good job for me.
Oh!
Well, that was goosebump inducing.
And,
it caught us a little bit by surprise
because we didn't
hear the ten nine eight countdown,
but what a view already
from the spacecraft
looking back at Earth. And it seems like.
I mean, you know better than us,
but did this go off without a hitch?
Well, it's
still very early into the mission,
but so far everything looking very good.
Nominal as they like to say at NASA.
I mean, just think about this, Allison.
This launch a decade in the making.
this is really the beginning of NASA's
dream of making, commercial spaceflight
a reality
and not just a reality with space,
but with multiple providers.
They want that redundancy.
They want the ability for NASA astronauts
to have some options
in case something goes wrong
with one of those other spacecraft.
So what we're seeing right
now, everything looking really good,
but we still have
some critical moments ahead.
And I just want to walk you through
what we're about to see.
so this is Boeing's Starliner spacecraft
and the capsule on top of the rocket.
This is where
the two NASA
astronauts, Butch Wilmore
and Sonny Williams, are right now.
But momentarily,
this capsule is going to separate
from the rocket.
The Atlas five rocket built
and operated by a different company,
the United Launch Alliance,
that is a critical moment.
One of the more,
dangerous moments,
so to speak,
aside from the actual liftoff.
So that's something
we're going to be watching very closely.
but if all of that goes
according to plan,
you have Meeko main engine cut off,
then what you're going to see is
Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams
finally getting to test out
Boeing's Starliner spacecraft in space.
and they're going to be spending
about eight days up
at the International Space Station,
testing out the spacecraft itself,
but also delivering some cargo
to the crew that's already up there.
And, you know, Allison,
they're bringing a lot of supplies,
but one of the things
that's most important
right now, it's easy
to kind of laugh
about this,
but,
you know, going to the bathroom
of the International Space Station
is pretty important.
And up there
they recycle all of the astronauts urine,
turn it into drinking water.
But there's a problem with that,
recycling pump, the urine
recycling pump, so to speak.
So they're bringing up
a replacement part to hopefully rid
the astronauts of their
all the bags of urine
that are sitting around the space station
right now.
So it's not just
the astronauts
that are going up to the ISS
but cargo as well.
So right now we are past Max-Q.
That's the point of,
when the most stress
is placed on the rocket.
So a huge milestone there.
And you can apparently,
see the entire U.S.
coast from the rocket.
I don't have a good display of it
right in front of me, Allison.
But so far, this is looking
really, really good.
And so, you know, for Boeing, this is,
a spaceflight
that they really needed
to go successfully.
They needed to prove
that they could compete with Elon Musk.
Space-X.
and, you know,
this is also just coming
at a tremendous moment
for spaceflight in general,
because you have another big launch
scheduled for tomorrow, SpaceX's
Starship, which is going to someday
land NASA astronauts on the moon
and perhaps someday go on to Mars.
So that's really a critical piece
of this puzzle
here, Allison, because,
NASA
needs Boeing's Starliner to work
so it can focus on Artemis
and some of those other missions as well.
Well, Kristin, I'm so glad.
First of all, there's a lot there.
But I'm so glad that you told us about
how it's designed
to have pieces of equipment peel off,
because we are seeing that.
We're seeing some pieces peel off.
and but everything is fine
because that was by design.
and of course, I'm glad that you told us
about the urine filtration system
that I really think
should need to work, that
that's also feels very important.
How long will it take them
to get to the International
Space Station?
Yeah, it's going to take them
about 24 hours to get there.
And then one of the other
critical moments
is, you know, this spacecraft,
this capsule
has to actually dock
with the International Space Station.
They've done it
before, during the uncrewed test flight.
And that was successful.
But this will be the first time,
that you actually have
two astronauts on board
during a docking with the.
It's important to point out, though,
you know,
these are two of the most experienced
and highly trained NASA astronauts,
both Navy test pilots.
For both of them,
this is their third test flight.
and, you know, for a test flight,
sorry, their third space flight.
but their first test flight
and a test
flight is
particularly important
and given sort of, extra weight
because, of course, it's the first time
that any people have been inside.
And so that's why
these two astronauts were chosen.
And, you know, Alison,
this is also a big deal
because it's only the sixth time in U.S.
history
that there has been
a first crewed test flight
of a new spacecraft.
You had Mercury, Gemini, Apollo,
the space shuttle, SpaceX's Crew Dragon,
and now Starliner.
So this is,
a relatively rare event
in the history of spaceflight.
And just listening
to Butch and Sunny, talk about
how much being assigned to this mission
has meant to them.
but they've also had to wait
a really long time to fly this thing.
I mean, for Sunny Williams,
she was assigned to this flight
nine years ago.
She has been waiting
nine years, to fly on this mission.
And then we had all those recent scrubs.
First there was that scrub.
Allison, on May 6th, which was caused by,
a faulty oxygen
valve on the Atlas five rocket here.
But this scrub on Saturday
had nothing to do with the capsule
or the rocket.
It had to do with,
an issue with the ground, computer
that instigates
that automatic launch sequence.
And so, you know, so much has to go right
for the launch
that we just witnessed here.
The weather has to cooperate.
Everything has to go perfect.
right up until the moment of liftoff.
And so right now,
the Centaur engine,
I believe, has ignited.
So what we're seeing right now is,
these two stages still mounted together.
So you have
the bottom half of the Atlas five rocket
and these two solid rocket boosters
that have separated
from the rest of the spacecraft.
and will essentially never be used again.
They're totally expendable.
but these two now
continuing on into space,
and then just the capsule
in about 24 hours, hopefully rendezvous
with the space station
and that crew up there
excited to,
to finally see these astronauts
and their friends in person.
And,
Chris and Fisher,
so good to have you walk us through this
for all the context
and for your expertise in this field.
what an exciting, thing
for all of us to witness.
Live. That was really great.
