May 13, 2009 3:17 PM It was like a delicate handshake in space -- all while traveling 5 miles per second or about 85 football fields. This afternoon astronauts aboard Atlantis used the robotic arm of the shuttle to grab on to the Hubble space telescope (orbiting at about 350 statute miles) and move it into the payload bay. It’s the first time anyone has seen Hubble up close since the last servicing mission in 2002. Tomorrow begins the first of five complex (and risky) spacewalks to install a powerful new camera and fresh batteries. We’ll have the day’s images and dramatic video tonight on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.

Think of it as capitalism's final frontier. It's a story that's constantly evolving with new discoveries and launches from companies like Virgin Galactic, SpaceX, XCOR, Armadillo Aerospace and many others. But when will it be ready for prime time? Are trips to the moon just around the corner? And how long will it be solely the domain of the wealthy? This weekend on CBS Sunday Morning we'll provide a slice of this ongoing high-tech competition and see how it might inspire the next generation of space travelers.
