This is CBS, I'm the world. I'm John Batch from the surface of the planned earth where

0:33.9

we're headed to lower Earth orbit. The ISS, where Bob Zimmerman is going to help us

0:38.5

understand what is to be done with a leaking lifeboat, a Soyuz attached to ISS, and first

0:45.6

the question of why or how this happened, and second, what is to be done. Bob, a very

develop in space. I'm getting a sense of consensus. This was a micro-media right here, which

1:51.8

is, once again, this is somewhat large hole for a micro-media right. They do happen almost
