| 0:00.0 | This is CBS High in the World. I'm John Bachelor. Space X and Devar, a scrub. Bob Zimmerman |
| 0:12.5 | is here. He keeps the website behind the black to explain my shorthand. Bob, and Devar |
| 0:18.0 | was scrubbed with the dragon capsule and Devar. Why? What do we know about it? And when |
| 0:23.0 | is it rescheduled? |
| 0:25.0 | Good evening, John. Well, Devar is one of the lead of four dragon capsules, man capsules |
| 0:33.4 | of SpaceX owns. And they were to bring a crew of four astronauts to ISS this week. The |
| 0:41.8 | launch was originally scheduled for very late Sunday night, actually, in the morning, |
| 0:50.5 | to the morning hours of Monday. But unfortunately, two minutes before launch, they aborted. They |
| 0:59.7 | called the hold and then they canceled the launch. Scrubbed it. And the reason they scrubbed |

| 1:37.2 | They rescheduled this now for Thursday, the second of March, whether it looks good for |
| 1:46.4 | that date and so which is the way to see. It's one of these situations with SpaceX and |
| 1:53.5 | the NASA launch, they're probably very careful to make sure everything is correct. And |
| 1:57.1 | that makes sense. The crew was four astronauts. Three rookies, the Kranda, Steve Bound was |
| 2:03.4 | very experienced pilot of the three rookies. You had an American, you had a Russian and |
| 2:10.4 | you had a citizen of the United Emirates, that first action or not flying to ISS as part |
| 2:21.1 | of tourist bill paid for the SpaceX. We have a SpaceX success however. Second generation |
| 2:28.3 | starling satellites. What does that mean, Bob? Why are they going to second generation? |
