[0:01] Welcome to World News. Tonight, killing
[0:04] spree. Five US soldiers are gunned down
[0:06] in Iraq. The gunman was a fellow
[0:09] soldier. Cutting cost. Some big players
[0:12] in healthcare offer to cut costs. What
[0:15] took them so long? Blastoff. The shuttle
[0:18] crew sets off to repair the Hubble
[0:20] telescope. A particularly dangerous
[0:22] mission. Crime cleanup behind the scenes
[0:25] as police try to clear the streets of
[0:28] repeat offenders. and new warnings.
[0:31] Popular restaurants using huge amounts
[0:34] of salt
[0:40] >> from ABC News headquarters. This is
[0:44] World News with Charles Gibson.
[0:46] >> Good evening. There was a tragic
[0:48] incident in Iraq today that is a stark
[0:50] reminder that while the demands on US
[0:53] forces in Iraq may be diminishing, the
[0:55] mental stress on service members remains
[0:58] high. A soldier this afternoon opened
[1:00] fire in a clinic in Baghdad that was
[1:02] treating military personnel for stress
[1:04] and suicide prevention. Five American
[1:07] soldiers were killed, four others
[1:08] wounded, including the shooter who is in
[1:10] custody. It was the worst case of
[1:13] soldier on soldier violence since this
[1:15] war began. ABC's Martha Ratits with us
[1:18] now.
[1:19] >> This is the entrance into our facility
[1:21] here in Camp Liberty. It was just days
[1:23] ago that Lieutenant Colonel Beth
[1:25] Salsbury showed ABC News the very same
[1:29] combat stress control center where
[1:31] today's horrific shooting took place.
[1:34] >> They will sign in at our front desk.
[1:35] They'll be greeted by our our uh staff
[1:37] here.
[1:38] >> Salsbury, who runs the center, was not
[1:40] heard in today's shooting, but of the
[1:43] dead, two were on her clinical staff and
[1:46] three were soldiers waiting for
[1:48] treatment. The shooter, who officials
[1:50] say is a sergeant on his third
[1:52] deployment to Iraq, went on a rampage
[1:55] down these hallways and offices in one
[1:57] of the few places where those who were
[1:59] attacked would not have been armed.
[2:02] >> Their weapons are taken for safety, and
[2:03] we secure those here uh for the safety
[2:05] of our staff and themselves.
[2:07] >> The sergeant being held for the murders
[2:09] is married and based in Germany. ABC
[2:12] News has learned he had been having
[2:14] problems during his deployment. Initial
[2:17] indications are that he did not seek
[2:19] mental health treatment voluntarily, but
[2:22] that his unit had referred him for care.
[2:25] It is unclear whether he had yet
[2:26] received treatment. Colonel Salsbury
[2:29] said recently, "Soldiers are encouraged
[2:32] to look for signs of stress in others.
[2:34] >> The great thing is to have a leader uh
[2:36] bring in a soldier, come in, leadership
[2:38] staff, and come in and ask us how that
[2:40] we can help them uh take care of their
[2:42] soldiers." These centers are part of the
[2:44] response to a dramatic spike in Army
[2:47] suicides, a record 143 last year. Today,
[2:51] the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
[2:53] Staff said the shooting will be
[2:55] investigated to see if the stress of
[2:57] multiple and frequent deployments
[3:00] contributed to it.
[3:01] >> It speaks to the issue of of multiple
[3:04] deployments, you know, increasing dwell
[3:06] time, all those things that we're
[3:09] focused on to try to improve to relieve
[3:11] that stress. It can't be understated
[3:14] what a terrible blow to any unit this is
[3:16] when soldiers are killed by fellow
[3:18] soldiers, especially soldiers who were
[3:21] trying to help others. Charlie,
[3:23] >> a tragic accident. Martha Ratit's down
[3:25] in Washington. And Martha, while I've
[3:26] got you one other story I want to ask
[3:28] you about. The top US general in
[3:31] Afghanistan is being removed from his
[3:33] command. We've learned. How come?
[3:35] >> He certainly is. And you have to say
[3:37] this, Charlie. Uh, General David
[3:39] Mccieran has been fired. There is no
[3:42] other word for it. Secretary Gates,
[3:44] defense secretary, Robert Gates said
[3:46] today he is looking for a fresh
[3:47] approach, a fresh look and he is putting
[3:50] in that position Stan Mcrist. He is a
[3:53] lieutenant general. He will be getting a
[3:55] fourth star if approved. But Stan Mcrist
[3:58] is a star, but this is truly an
[4:00] earthquake. This does not happen very
[4:02] often that a top general is fired.
[4:04] >> And Mcrist comes from special forces,
[4:06] right?
[4:07] >> He comes from special forces. right now.
[4:09] He is the director of the joint staff,
[4:10] but he does have that background and
[4:12] that is a very valuable background in
[4:15] this war.
[4:15] >> All right, Martha Ratitz again in
[4:17] Washington. Thanks. And still overseas
[4:19] in Thran, an Iranian-American journalist
[4:21] serving eight years in jail after being
[4:23] convicted of spying for the US was
[4:25] suddenly released today. Roxanna Sab
[4:27] sentence was reduced to a 2-year
[4:29] suspended term, and she was quickly
[4:31] reunited with her parents. The White
[4:33] House welcomed her release and continued
[4:35] to say the spying charges were baseless.
[4:38] to Washington next. America's healthc
[4:40] care bill is $2.5 trillion a year.
[4:44] That's $8,200 for every American. So,
[4:47] you might have done a double take when
[4:49] you saw who was talking today at the
[4:51] White House about bringing down health
[4:53] care costs. Some of the same people who
[4:55] helped defeat healthc care reform 15
[4:57] years ago. Jake Tapper is at the White
[4:59] House. Jake, good evening, Charlie.
[5:01] Well, President Obama called today's
[5:03] event historic, a watershed event in the
[5:06] long and elusive quest for healthc care
[5:08] reform. The president believes this move
[5:10] today is an indication of all the
[5:11] momentum there is that healthc care
[5:13] reform will happen this year.
[5:16] Members of the healthcare industry who
[5:18] fought reform in the past united at the
[5:20] White House today to pledge to reduce
[5:22] health care costs, saving $2 trillion
[5:25] over the next decade. They're here
[5:27] because they recognize one clear,
[5:29] indisputable fact. When it comes to
[5:32] healthc care spending, we are on an
[5:35] unsustainable course that threatens the
[5:37] financial stability of families,
[5:39] businesses, and government itself.
[5:42] >> Organizations representing doctors,
[5:44] hospitals, health insurers, drug
[5:45] companies, medical technology companies,
[5:48] and unions told President Obama they
[5:50] would work to cut costs 1.5%
[5:54] every year for the next 10 years. The
[5:56] White House budget director says these
[5:58] reforms cannot wait.
[6:00] >> We are running off a cliff if we don't
[6:02] have these sorts of changes and this
[6:04] puts the system on a sustainable basis.
[6:07] >> The White House says in 5 years this
[6:08] would save a family of four $2500 a
[6:12] year. The savings will be achieved, the
[6:14] group said, through administrative
[6:15] efficiency such as fewer bills, fewer
[6:18] forms, using cuttingedge technology for
[6:21] less costly medical procedures, and
[6:23] giving incentives to healthcare
[6:24] providers based on results, not the
[6:27] number of tests or hospital stays. Some
[6:29] of these same industries fought health
[6:31] reform in the 1990s, most notably with
[6:34] Harry and Louise TV ads.
[6:36] >> You know, we just don't need government
[6:37] monopolies to
[6:38] >> So why would they be on board today?
[6:40] It's a recognition that the fictional
[6:42] television couple Harry and Louise
[6:45] desperately need healthcare reform in
[6:47] 2009 and so does America.
[6:50] >> Well, maybe. But these groups also fear
[6:54] Congress passing a bill they hate. The
[6:56] insurance industry, for instance, does
[6:58] not want the government to offer a
[7:00] competing plan.
[7:01] >> Everyone wants a seat at the table
[7:02] because no one wants to be on the menu.
[7:04] >> One other note from the meeting,
[7:05] Charlie. The representative from the
[7:06] doctors told the president that the
[7:08] reason he believes there are so many
[7:10] unnecessary tests and procedures is
[7:12] because doctors practice defensive
[7:14] medicine for fear of malpractice suits.
[7:16] And he said he hoped the president would
[7:18] support malpractice reform. The
[7:20] president said he would keep an open
[7:21] mind, but keep in mind this has been a
[7:23] very hard cell for Democrats on Capitol
[7:25] Hill. Charlie
[7:26] >> Jake Tapper at the White House tonight
[7:28] and our medical editor Dr. Tim Johnson
[7:29] is joining us from Boston. Tim, I hear
[7:31] what Jake had to report. But if these
[7:34] health care groups can cut $2 trillion
[7:37] out of health care costs in this country
[7:39] in 10 years, why haven't they done it
[7:41] before?
[7:43] >> Good question. I think now it's for two
[7:45] strategic reasons. One is they see the
[7:47] momentum building. They want to be on
[7:49] the train, not left at the station. And
[7:51] secondly, they are trying to build
[7:53] political goodwill in their fight
[7:55] against the public plan. The private
[7:57] health insurance industry is dead set
[7:59] opposed to a public plan. And by giving
[8:01] these kinds of compromises and goodwill
[8:03] gestures, they hope to have more
[8:05] bargaining at the table.
[8:06] >> All right, I hear what you say and I
[8:08] hear what they say. They say they'll do
[8:10] this, but can they do it? These are
[8:13] voluntary cuts on their part and the the
[8:15] history of healthcare cost cuts have not
[8:18] has not been very great. No. Back in the
[8:21] 70s under Carter, there were voluntary
[8:23] proposals that failed miserably. A lot
[8:25] of people think they should be
[8:26] mandatory, but they've gone public with
[8:28] it now in a very public way, obviously.
[8:31] And I think the White House and the
[8:32] public will hold their feet to the fire.
[8:34] >> All right, at least they're on record.
[8:35] Tim Johnson, thanks very much.
[8:36] Appreciate it. The White House today
[8:38] revised its estimate of the overall
[8:40] budget deficit for the year, raised the
[8:42] forecast to $1.8 trillion. That is four
[8:45] times the record set just a year ago.
[8:47] Lower tax revenues and higher costs for
[8:49] unemployment benefits are the two
[8:51] primary reasons. And get ready for a
[8:53] sticker shock at the gas pump. Summer is
[8:55] coming and gas prices are shooting up.
[8:57] Last week saw one of the biggest weekly
[8:59] price increases on record. The average
[9:01] price of a regular gallon is now 224.
[9:04] That's up 16 cents in just one week.
[9:07] Meanwhile, a new report estimates the
[9:09] economic stimulus bill passed earlier
[9:11] this year will save or create 1.5
[9:14] million jobs this year. But an
[9:16] Associated Press survey indicates few of
[9:18] those jobs will be created in
[9:20] communities with the highest
[9:21] unemployment rates.
[9:23] Investigators will present their
[9:25] findings tomorrow in the case of a
[9:27] commuter airline crash last February
[9:29] near Buffalo, which killed all 49 people
[9:32] on board and one person on the ground.
[9:34] As Lisa Stark reports tonight, the
[9:36] evidence will point to serious questions
[9:37] about the pilot's competency and his
[9:40] training.
[9:42] The man at the controls of the Kolganire
[9:44] commuter flight had failed five flight
[9:46] tests during his career. Kolanire
[9:49] confirmed today that Captain Marvin
[9:51] Rensow failed two tests of his flying
[9:54] skills and judgment while at that
[9:56] airline. The other three failing grades
[9:58] came as Rensow worked to become a
[10:01] licensed pilot. Kolganire says it did
[10:04] not know about all of the earlier
[10:06] failures when it hired Renslo, but it
[10:08] defended the pilot, saying he was fully
[10:11] qualified and that he had passed six
[10:13] consecutive check rides in the months
[10:16] prior to the accident. There are also
[10:18] questions tonight about training. The
[10:20] crew allowed the plane to fly
[10:22] dangerously slow. After a stall warning
[10:25] sounded, the autopilot pushed the nose
[10:27] of the plane down to gain speed. Sources
[10:30] say Renslo, who had never trained for
[10:33] this in a simulator, did the wrong thing
[10:36] by jerking the nose of the plane back
[10:38] up. Experts want to know, are these
[10:41] issues unique to Kolan Air, or are they
[10:43] symptoms of a broader problem with the
[10:46] regional airlines that millions of
[10:48] Americans fly? Lisa Stark, ABC News,
[10:52] Washington.
[10:53] >> There was another launch of the space
[10:55] shuttle today. This time it's Atlantis
[10:57] in space to make one last visit to the
[11:00] Hubble Space Telescope.
[11:02] >> All right, let's go.
[11:04] >> This flight has been delayed for years
[11:06] for safety reasons. So, the seven
[11:08] astronauts were more than ready to go
[11:10] this morning. One signing, I love you,
[11:13] to his wife and kids. Another waving
[11:15] goodbye to his mom. And once on board,
[11:17] you could hear the eagerness in the
[11:19] voice of Commander Scott Alman.
[11:21] >> At this point, all I got left to say is,
[11:22] "Let's launch Atlant's. Thanks so much.
[11:25] Enjoy the ride, pal.
[11:27] >> The astronauts will make five space
[11:28] walks, repairing Hubble's cameras,
[11:30] gyroscopes, and batteries. The telescope
[11:33] hasn't had a fix up in seven years.
[11:36] >> 3 2 1 and liftoff of Space Shuttle
[11:42] Atlantis.
[11:42] >> If anything goes wrong with Atlantis,
[11:44] another shuttle would have to be
[11:46] launched to rescue the crew. Today's
[11:49] liftoff, though, seemed flawless. And if
[11:51] all goes well, Hubble will be producing
[11:53] even better pictures of deep space until
[11:56] it runs out of juice sometime in the
[11:58] next decade.
[12:00] >> And a little later on World News, how
[12:02] the crew got ready for this risky
[12:04] mission, like picking food for the trip.
[12:06] Part of our exclusive access to all the
[12:08] preparations. And also ahead, casual
[12:11] restaurants, serious health warnings
[12:13] about salt. That'll be our closer look.
[12:16] And marshalling forces to crack down on
[12:18] crime. We go inside a new operation
[12:20] taking the worst repeat offenders off
[12:22] the streets.
[12:23] >> Don't like that.

[14:55] targets only the gray hair, and can take
[14:57] you to a more interesting place.
[15:00] >> Who's that?
[15:01] >> My husband. Just for Men,
[15:05] >> a well-known health group is out with a
[15:07] new warning about America's most popular
[15:09] chain restaurants, saying many of their
[15:11] meals have dangerous amounts of salt.
[15:14] The Center for Science and the Public
[15:15] Interest checked 102 meals and found 85
[15:18] of them had more than a day's worth of
[15:21] sodium. John McKenzie has our closer
[15:24] look.
[15:25] >> Go ahead, dig in. That's just what
[15:28] researchers did. They analyzed meals at
[15:30] the country's 17 largest restaurant
[15:32] chains and discovered most were loaded
[15:35] with salt.
[15:36] >> Salt is probably the single deadliest
[15:38] ingredient in our food supply, causing
[15:40] tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths
[15:42] a year. And restaurants are a big part
[15:45] of the problem.
[15:46] >> Among the biggest offenders, Olive
[15:48] Garden's Tour of Italy lasagna. More
[15:50] than 2 and 1/2 teaspoons of salt.
[15:52] Chili's Buffalo chicken fajitas, three
[15:55] teaspoons of salt. and Red Lobster's
[15:57] Admiral's Feast. 3.1 teaspoons of salt.
[16:01] That's more than three times the amount
[16:03] of salt Americans should get in a whole
[16:05] day. If you were to apply all this salt
[16:07] yourself, you'd have to shake and shake
[16:11] and continue shaking for at least a half
[16:13] a minute. And you still wouldn't have
[16:15] all the salt that's in some of these
[16:16] meals. Eating too much salt causes the
[16:19] walls of blood vessels, even the heart
[16:21] itself, to gradually thicken. But for
[16:23] some people, even one salty meal can be
[16:26] dangerous.
[16:27] >> They consume a massive amount of salt
[16:29] without knowing it. They end up short of
[16:31] breath and come to the emergency room
[16:33] with flagrant heart failure.
[16:35] >> While salt is an inexpensive way to
[16:37] enhance the flavor of foods, restaurant
[16:39] chains insist they are cutting back the
[16:41] sodium in some meals.
[16:44] >> You look across the menus on those
[16:45] restaurants, and there are many choices
[16:47] that are low in sodium.
[16:48] >> But most people would never know.
[16:50] Without it listed on menus, few people
[16:52] have any idea how much salt awaits them
[16:55] in that next restaurant meal. John
[16:58] McKenzie, ABC News, New York.
[17:01] >> If you want to see the cent's full
[17:02] report and find out how much salt is in
[17:04] specific meals at various restaurants,

[17:10] And coming up inside, a nationwide
[17:12] crackdown to put career criminals behind
[17:15] bars.
[17:19] You have plans, moments you're looking
[17:21] forward to. What if they were stolen
[17:23] from you by Alzheimer's?
[17:25] Every 70 seconds, someone develops this
[17:28] cruel disease, even affecting people in
[17:30] their 30s, 40s, and 50s. The Alzheimer's
[17:33] Association is taking action and has
[17:35] been a part of every major advancement.
[17:38] But we won't rest until we have a cure.
[17:41] You have plans. Help the Alzheimer's
[17:43] Association protect them. To learn more,
[17:46] go to alz.org.
[17:48] >> If you've had a heart attack caused by a
[17:50] completely blocked artery, another heart
[17:52] attack could be lurking, waiting to
[17:54] strike. A heart attack caused by a clot,
[17:56] one that could be fatal. But Plavix
[17:59] helps save lives. Plavix, taken with
[18:01] other heart medicines, goes beyond what
[18:03] other heart medicines do alone to
[18:04] provide greater protection against heart
[18:06] attack or stroke and even death by
[18:08] helping to keep blood platelets from
[18:10] sticking together and forming clots. Ask
[18:13] your doctor about Plavix. Protection
[18:15] that helps save lives.
[18:17] >> If you have a stomach ulcer or other
[18:18] condition that causes bleeding, you
[18:20] should not use Plavix. When taking
[18:21] Plavix alone or with some other
[18:23] medicines, including aspirin, the risk
[18:24] of bleeding may increase. So, tell your
[18:26] doctor before planning surgery. And
[18:28] always talk to your doctor before taking
[18:29] aspirin or other medicines with Plavix,
[18:31] especially if you've had a stroke. If
[18:33] you develop fever or unexplained
[18:35] weakness or confusion, tell your doctor
[18:36] promptly as these may be signs of a rare
[18:38] but potentially life-threatening
[18:40] condition called TTP, which has been
[18:42] reported rarely, sometimes in less than
[18:44] 2 weeks after starting therapy. Other
[18:46] rare but serious side effects may occur.
[18:48] >> If you take Plavix with other heart
[18:50] medicines, continuing to do so will help
[18:52] increase your protection against a
[18:53] future heart attack or stroke beyond
[18:55] your other heart medicines alone. You
[18:57] may be feeling better, but your risk
[18:59] never goes away. Help stay protected.
[19:01] Stay with Plavix.
[19:03] >> If I know where the bathroom is, I can
[19:05] deal.
[19:06] >> Time out. Going three times a night. I'm
[19:09] used to it. Time out. You're doing okay,
[19:13] but are you really going to put up with
[19:14] overactive bladder forever? That could
[19:16] be what you have. One in six people do.
[19:19] It's a real medical condition where
[19:20] involuntary bladder contractions cause
[19:22] frequent strong urges to go. I just
[19:24] coped, too. But then my doctor told me
[19:26] about treatment options, including
[19:28] prescriptions. Shouldn't you talk to
[19:30] yours and give the coping a timeout?
[19:33] >> I'm going to do another one of my sleep
[19:35] studies. Advil PM Liquid Gels or Tylenol
[19:37] PM? With Advil PM, she's spending less
[19:40] time lying awake with aches and pains
[19:42] and more time asleep. You should switch
[19:45] to Advil PM Liquid Gels, the better
[19:47] night's sleep.
[19:50] Tomorrow, what happened on the night
[19:52] shift at this school is disturbing to
[19:53] watch. Residents forced into fight clubs
[19:56] for the amusement of the staff. See the
[19:58] shocking video for yourself. Brian Ross'
[20:01] exclusive investigation on ABC's World
[20:03] News with Charles Gibson.
[20:06] >> Pope Benedict the 16th arrived in Israel
[20:08] today for her his first visit since
[20:10] becoming Pontiff. He called for the
[20:12] establishment of a Palestinian state,
[20:14] putting him at odds with the new Israeli
[20:16] government. And the Pope later paid
[20:18] tribute at Yadvashm, the memorial to the
[20:21] 6 million Jews who were killed in the
[20:23] Holocaust. Next, a crime crackdown in
[20:26] this country. Federal marshals are
[20:28] joining forces with state and local law
[20:30] enforcement around the country to target
[20:32] career criminals. Last year alone,
[20:34] government officials say the effort
[20:36] helped take 109,000 violent fugitives
[20:39] off the street. ABC's Pierre Thomas was
[20:42] given access to some of these operations
[20:49] near Atlanta. The chase is on. it.
[20:51] >> The US Marshals are after a man they
[20:54] suspect is a meth and crack addict on a
[20:56] car stealing spree.
[20:57] >> Come on, guys. He gunned it.
[20:58] >> He's just 41. He just wrecked. He just
[21:00] wrecked.
[21:01] >> All right, we got him. 1095. 1095.
[21:04] >> Douglas Parker tries to run but is
[21:06] tackled and taser.
[21:07] >> I can't move. AR.
[21:09] >> The car is stolen. Inside is a loaded
[21:12] gun, suspected drugs, stolen license
[21:14] plates, and cash. Parker had at least
[21:17] nine prior convictions. He was arrested
[21:19] as part of a new crime reduction
[21:21] strategy targeting career criminals.
[21:24] Since 2003, the marshals and police here
[21:26] have cut the murder rate by 22%. Violent
[21:29] crime by 31%.
[21:32] >> Open the door.
[21:34] >> A few hours later, it's close to
[21:36] midnight and another suspect has been
[21:38] tracked down. Derek Lee, convicted of at
[21:41] least five crimes in the past, is now
[21:43] wanted for allegedly spraying his
[21:45] girlfriend's car with bullets.
[21:47] >> Hey, Derek.
[21:48] Hey, at least answer me.
[21:50] >> The suspect refuses to answer the door.
[21:52] Police go in.
[21:55] POLICE.
[22:02] >> There is a sad surprise. A child is
[22:04] inside. Wanted men hiding in suburbia
[22:08] often show little regard for those
[22:09] around them. We saw that on another
[22:12] night during a manh hunt for an illegal
[22:14] immigrant on the run from New York. He
[22:16] shot his girlfriend while she was
[22:18] actually holding the baby.
[22:20] >> The marshals head to a home they've had
[22:22] under surveillance based on a tip that
[22:24] the suspect is there.
[22:25] >> Come out here. Come out.
[22:27] >> This man brought to the floor by the
[22:29] marshals is an innocent associate who
[22:31] grew up with the suspect.
[22:34] >> The suspect is found hiding in the
[22:36] garage.
[22:36] >> Shot a girlfriend in the chest.
[22:38] >> Police believe an unsuspecting community
[22:40] was harboring a ticking time bomb. But
[22:43] with the nation's economy cratering and
[22:45] higher unemployment, police fear they
[22:48] may soon be seeing more career
[22:50] criminals. Pierre Thomas, ABC News
[22:52] Atlanta.
[22:54] >> And up next, backstage at NASA, how the
[22:57] astronauts prepared for today's Hubble
[22:59] rescue mission.
[23:03] In backyards just like yours, Scott's
[23:06] researchers tested our new Songbird
[23:08] Selections wild bird food and discovered
[23:11] something amazing.
[23:13] Scots attracted twice as many colorful
[23:15] birds as ordinary blends.
[23:18] Our exclusive formula attracted twice
[23:21] the cardinals,
[23:22] twice the gold pinches,
[23:25] twice the indigo buntings.
[23:28] New song bird selections from Scots.
[23:32] They tickle, they tease, and you sneeze.
[23:38] Maybe it's time to ask your doctor about
[23:40] Singular. While many allergy medicines
[23:42] block histamine, Singular blocks
[23:44] lucotrien, an underlying cause of nasal
[23:46] allergy symptoms. And that's how
[23:48] Singular works differently. One pill
[23:51] once a day. Side effects are generally
[23:54] mild and vary by age and may include
[23:56] headache, ear infection, sore throat,
[23:57] and upper respiratory infection.
[23:59] Singular, a different way to treat
[24:01] allergies.

[26:10] We told you a little earlier that seven
[26:12] astronauts on the shuttle Atlantis are
[26:14] on their way to fix the Hubble telescope
[26:16] 350 mi up in orbit. They've prepared for
[26:19] this trip for years, and our Ned Potter
[26:22] has spent a great deal of time with the
[26:24] crew during this year getting ready for
[26:26] the mission.
[26:29] Today's launch did not really begin the
[26:31] mission for the astronauts. They've been
[26:33] working on the Hubble rescue since 2006.
[26:36] >> Delicious.
[26:37] >> But before they could get close to the
[26:39] launch pad, critical questions.
[26:41] >> This is not looking good.
[26:43] >> Like what to
[26:45] >> eat. You ready? Hand it over.
[26:46] >> You got it.
[26:47] >> Yeah.
[26:48] >> T-minus 9 months in counting. And quick
[26:50] before they get busy with other details,
[26:54] the astronauts sit down to a taste
[26:56] testing.
[26:57] >> Wa
[26:59] peas.
[27:00] >> They score everything from 1 to nine so
[27:02] the right food can be packed for them.
[27:04] Tortillas are a big hit. But as for the
[27:07] yogurt, well, look at Megan MacArthur's
[27:10] face.
[27:12] >> The first thing to know about space
[27:14] food, it's the ambiance. It's the
[27:16] environment. It's not the food.
[27:18] >> You can't go to space without biscotti.
[27:19] They won't let us have pizza, so at
[27:20] least you could have biscotti.
[27:22] >> Probably peanut butter. I'm going to be
[27:24] happy if I have a jar of peanut butter.
[27:25] >> If someone someone would probably get a
[27:26] Nobel Prize if they could figure out how
[27:27] to get pizza in space.
[27:29] >> T-minus 8 months in counting. And
[27:31] they're already packing the astronaut's
[27:33] clothing.
[27:33] >> Everything for 12 days has to fit in two
[27:36] of those.
[27:36] >> Yes.
[27:37] >> Oh my goodness.
[27:38] >> That's a nice hat.
[27:39] >> Yeah, this is like a skull cap.
[27:43] >> That's much better. Most of it is stuff
[27:45] you could buy yourself. But one thing to
[27:47] remember about the space shuttle is that
[27:49] everything is reused. You have your own,
[27:51] but you give it back.
[27:52] >> You give it back.
[27:53] >> That amazes me.
[27:54] >> You know, like we get rid of the
[27:55] external tank,
[27:57] >> but we keep underwear and recycle it.
[28:00] Okay.
[28:01] >> The astronauts have bigger issues on
[28:02] their minds. They catch up with the
[28:04] telescope on Wednesday.
[28:05] >> So, they're the classics.
[28:06] >> But they'll be the best dressed.
[28:08] >> This is a jalapeno ketchup.
[28:10] >> Best fed crew in the solar system.
[28:12] >> Wow. This is
[28:13] >> Ned Potter, ABC News, Johnson Space
[28:15] Center, Houston.
[28:17] >> No pizza in space. They love going up
[28:19] and that's probably why they love coming
[28:21] down as well. That's World News for this
[28:22] Monday. I'm Charlie Gibson and I hope
