>> FOX NEWS ALERT, THE
>> FOX NEWS ALERT, THE
ASTRONAUTS ABOARD THE DRAGON
CAPSULE THEY ARE DOING FOR A
READY FOR SEAT ROTATION AND LEAK
CHECK AND THAT SORT OF THING AND
THEN WE WILL SEE THAT HOW TO
CLOSE.
WE ARE WATCHING THIS VERY, VERY
CLOSELY NOW.
SOON IT WILL BE IN POSITION AND
THEN IT IS DESIGNED TO DO ALL OF
THAT AUTONOMOUSLY BUT THE
ASTRONAUTS ABOARD WILL HELP OUT
IF THAT IS NECESSARY.
I WANT TO BRING IN OUR
CORRESPONDENT KRISTIN FISHER WHO
IS AT THE WHITE HOUSE, WE KNOW
THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES WILL BE THERE FOR
LUNCH.
KRISTIN, AS YOU WATCH THIS, YOU
ARE THE DAUGHTER OF A MOM WHO IS
IN SPACE.
WE EARLIER SAW A VIRTUAL HUG AND
KISS.
WHAT’S IT LIKE FOR THOSE FAMILY,
I WAS GOING TO SAY IT’S HARD NOT
TO GET EMOTIONAL WATCHING THAT
MOMENT.
MY MOM TOLD ME IT WAS ONE OF THE
HARDEST THINGS SHE’S EVER HAD TO
DO TO SAY TO GOODBYE TO ME WHEN
I WAS JUST A YEAR AND A HALF
OLD, BUT THOSE TWO LITTLE BOYS,
THE SONS OF ASTRONAUTS, THEY ARE
A LITTLE BIT OLDER AND THEY KNOW
THE RISKS.
THEY SAID THEY WERE NERVOUS
ABOUT THEIR DAD FLYING ON THIS
RISK, JUST THINK ABOUT THEIR
MOTHER AND ASTRONAUTS LIVES.
BOB BANK AND SAID IT IS MUCH
HARDER TO WATCH YOUR LOVED ONE
AND YOUR SPOUSE TO GO INTO SPACE
THAN IT IS TO FLY INTO SPACE
YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU HAD APSLEY
NO CONTROL OVER WHAT IS GOING ON
IN THE COCKPIT.
PARIS?
>> I WANT TO GET YOUR
PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE, BECAUSE FOR
THOSE FAMILIES ARE NOT EVEN BE
ABLE TO TOUCH OR SAY GOODBYE AS
THEIR LOVED ONES GO INTO SPACE
GIVING THE REST OF US HOPE ON
EARTH.
WHEN THEY GET TO THE ISS AND
BECOMING PART OF THE EXPEDITION
63 THE CREW, THEY WILL PERFORM
