  • I'm Carla Zeus. 5

  • Thank you for watching. 6

  • In the capital of Colorado, the mile high city of Denver, Tuesday's high temperature was nearly 60 degrees Fahrenheit. 7

  • 24 hours later, it was freezing and snowing. 8

  • This is the result of Bumbo Genesis, what's also called a bomb cyclone. 9

  • It happens when there's a rapid drop in atmospheric pressure that causes a storm to become very intense very quickly. 10

  • How intense central and northern U. 11

  • S. 12

  • States that lie in the Rocky Mountains and east of them. 13

  • We're bracing for winds that could reach 70 miles per hour. 14

  • That's nearly the speed of a Category one hurricane Blizzard and winter storm warnings were in effect for parts of Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming. 15

  • Heavy snow was likely. 16

  • The National Weather Service in Boulder, Colorado, predicted white out conditions when there's no visibility and power outages, too. 17

  • It told the people in the region to cancel any travel plans Wednesday afternoon and evening. 18

  • Some folks didn't have a choice. 19

  • More than 1000 flights were canceled yesterday, mostly at Denver International Airport. 20

  • Denver public schools, like several other districts in Colorado, were closed. 21

  • Forecasters expected the storm to move northeast from the Colorado Rocky Mountains, with snow tapering off by Thursday afternoon. 22

  • But they're also on the lookout for strong winds and possible flooding in southern states east of the Rockies, where thunderstorms were like next. 23

  • Today, Boeing passenger planes models 7 37 max, eight and nine have been grounded in the U. 24

  • S and Canada. 25

  • The two nations announced their decision yesterday afternoon. 26

  • At that point, they've been the only two countries with a substantial number of these planes still flying, U. 27

  • S President Donald Trump said. 28

  • New information about the Ethiopian Airlines crash led to the Federal Aviation Administration order to temporarily ground 7 37 max eights and nines. 29

  • We covered the plane in the accident. 30

  • In yesterday's show, you confined that at CNN Tenn dot com. 31

  • The Boeing company says it still has full confidence in its airplane safety, but that out of an abundance of caution, it supports the decision by the U. 32

  • 12th trip, which of these vast food restaurant chains was founded first Burger King Chick fil A, McDonald's or Wendy's. 35

  • The first chick fil a chicken sandwich was served at the Dwarf Grill in 1946. 36

  • July 20th 2019 will mark exactly 50 years since astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took mankind's first steps on the moon. 37

  • The main mission of Apollo 11 was to get humans safely to the moon and then get them safely home. 38

  • But Armstrong Aldrin and Michael Collins, the command module pilot, also brought back samples. 39

  • The Smithsonian Institution says they were the first ever retrieved from another planetary body. 40

  • The subsequent missions of Apollo 15 16 and 17 brought home, or some have been sitting untouched in storage for decades, and this week NASA announced they'd be studied for the first time. 41

  • Nine teams will receive $8 million for their research. 42

  • NASA hopes to gain new understanding about the moon from it and prepare for Maur deep space missions. 43

  • Meantime, Americans have the opportunity to see the moon in a new light from newly restored footage. 44

  • That's one small step for man. 45

  • It was a moment seen by millions Man's first steps on the moon. 46

  • The Apollo 11 mission remains one of humanity's greatest achievements. 47

  • And yet there is much we never heard, never saw and never knew until now. 48

  • Con Town for Apollo 11 Now five minutes 52 seconds and Coming 50 years after the historic launch, a new documentary tells the mission's story with new accuracy piece together with archival film and recordings unearthed by the filmmakers. 49

  • We started the project. 50

  • We kind of cast, ah, Big Net to try to get all the available film footage. 51

  • What, really, Um, part was several months in when this discovery of the collection of the 65 millimeters it was all large format and, uh, you know, needless is their jaws were on the ground when we saw the first images off the film scanner. 52

  • Among the discovery were thousands of hours of footage that only existed on old reels, much of it uncapped a log lacking labels or transcriptions. 53

  • NASA 50 years ago had shot this, developed it, send it out to the different centers and then ultimately had ended up, ended up at the National Archives in College Park outside of D. 54

  • C. 55

  • Um, and sitting in cold storage. 56

  • All these years, working with the team, the filmmakers sifted through restored and digitized troves of material. 57

  • Once we, uh, you know, spent the time researching all of that and then actually made an entire timeline. 58

  • That was nine days long of the mission. 59

  • So there really is a nine day version of this film. 60

  • We quickly realized that we had, you know, something special and that we could do it all with archival materials and not rely on current talking heads or other, um, you know, kind of movie trickery to tell the story. 61

  • I think that the all archival approach really adds to the immediacy of everything and way set out to do was just, you know, make you feel as if you were actually there without narration, recreation or commentary. 62

  • The film uses only original footage to condense the nine day mission into 90 minutes. 63

  • It begins with launch preparations and ends with the astronauts returned to Earth, layering new perspectives of all those involved in the undertaking. 64

  • I'd like to know what you feel as faras responsibilities of representing mankind on this trip. 65

  • That's, uh, relatively difficult to answer. 66

  • It's a job that way. 67

  • Collectively said it was possible, and we could do. 68

  • And of course, the nation itself is backing us. 69

  • Cyril Vanier, CNN. 70

  • We're not coming back down to Earth just yet, since it's throwback Thursday. 71

  • We're looking back on NASA's Apollo 14 mission to the moon, while astronauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell were there in 1971. 72

  • They explored the moon's surface, set up experiments and climb to the edge of a crater. 73

  • But there's something Alan Shepard did afterward that golfers loved, though the ball he hit with his six iron did not actually travel for more than a mile. 74

  • Stop it, Sam Point. 75

  • What if I can't get my hand? 76

  • But they got more dirt? 77

  • Oh, the fourth ball. 78

  • Here we go again. 79

  • It looked like a slice of payout way go every day. 80

  • I want more why we were able to a wedge. 81

  • That, and it's definitely not par for the course of a moon mission. 82

  • But it surely irons out the question of whether you can hit the links by moonlight.
