AN INFLATABLE ROOM AT THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION. IT'S CALLED THE BEAM, AND IT'S MEANT AS A NEW KIND OF HABITAT FOR TOURISTS ORBITING THE EARTH, SORT OF LIKE A SPACE HOTEL ROOM. RESCUE CREWS HAVE HAD A BUSY WEEK IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA. THE UNITED NATIONS SAYS ABOUT 14, 000 MIGRANTS, FLEEING WAR AND POVERTY IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA, HAVE BEEN RESCUED IN RECENT DAYS. JONATHAN VIGLIOTTI HAS THE LATEST .>> Reporter: OVER 700 MIGRANTS-- SOME FLANKED BY MEDICAL STAFF-- STEPPED OFF A MASSIVE SHIP AND ONTO SOLID GROUND SATURDAY. THEY ARE AMONG THE 2, 000 TO ARRIVE IN ITALY IN THE PAST 24 HOURS. FOR MANY, THE JOURNEY BEGAN ON OVERCROWDED AND UNSTABLE BOATS LIKE THIS ONE. THE WOODEN FISHING VESSEL STRUGGLED TO STAY UPRIGHT UNDER THE WEIGHT OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE. A CAMERA ONBOARD A COAST GUARD SHIP CAPTURED WHAT HAPPENED NEXT AS THE BOAT CAPSIZED OFF THE COAST OF LIBYA, SENDING EVERYONE PLUNGING INTO THE SEA. SOME TRIED TO SWIM, BUT OTHERS WERE TRAPPED UNDER THE BOAT AND UNABLE TO ESCAPE. ITALIAN OFFICIALS SAY OVER 500 MIGRANTS WERE SAVED BUT BELIEVE AS MANY AS 100 MAY HAVE DIED. COAST GUARD CREWS CARRIED OUT DOZENS OF OTHER RESCUES, SOME OF THE SURVIVORS, A BABY, BORN WHILE MAKING THE DANGEROUS TREK. IT WAS A SMALL SIGN OF HOPE. OFFICIALS SAY AS SUMMER APPROACHES AND THE WEATHER IMPROVES, THOUSANDS OF MORE MIGRANTS WILL MAKE THE PERILOUS JOURNEY, INCREASING THE RISK THAT MANY MORE COULD DIE.

THAT KIDS THAT HE KNOWS THAT UNDERSTAND BECAUSE HE'S TALKED TO THEM AND EXPLAINED IT TO THEM, THAT THEN IT'S EASIER TO GET ALONG WITH FOLKS RATHER THAN TRYING TO HIDE IT .>> Reporter: TREVOR CAN OFTEN BE FOUND SOLVING ONE OF THE MANY RUBIK'S CUBES HE OWNS; IT'S ONE OF THE WAYS HE TRIES TO KEEP HIS TICS AT BAY.

IT'S JUST, WHY WON'T YOU ACCEPT ME FOR ME ?>> Reporter: AS TREVOR SAYS, IGNORE THE TIC BUT DON'T IGNORE ME. JULIANA GOLDMAN, CBS NEWS ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA .>> Ninan: TREVOR, YOU MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO IGNORE YOU. WE SHOULD ALSO NOTE THIS IS TOURETTE SYNDROME AWARENESS MONTH AND NO BETTER WAY TO BRING AWARENESS THAN TELLING TREVOR'S INSPIRING STORY.

ALLIE LA FORCE OF CBS SPORTS WENT TO THE INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY AND HITCHED A RIDE WITH A RACING LEGEND .>> Reporter: RACING DOWN A STRAIGHTAWAY AT MORE THAN 180 MILES PER HOUR, MARIO ANDRETTI-- NOW 76-- IS STILL CHASING HIS NEED FOR SPEED.

I'VE DONE SO MANY MILES HERE, BUT I LOVE IT .>> Reporter: THOUGH RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE SPORT'S GREATEST DRIVERS, ANDRETTI WON HIS ONLY RACE AT THE INDY 500 IN 1969.

HOW MUCH DIFFERENT IS THE GAME NOW, COMPARED TO WHEN YOU RACED, ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE REGULATIONS TO IMPROVE SAFETY ?>> WELL, I... I RACED INTO THE COMPUTER ERA, YOU KNOW, SO I'M UP TO SPEED. THE IDEA IS TO KEEP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE IN THE HANDS OF THE DRIVER BECAUSE TODAY YOU CAN MAKE THESE THINGS ALMOST DRIVE THEMSELVES. AS FAR AS WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR A DRIVER TO DO TODAY AND 50 YEARS AGO IS THE SAME, BASICALLY TO TAKE WHATEVER THEY HAVE TO THE LIMIT .>> Reporter: FOR CBS NEWS, I'M ALLIE LA FORCE IN INDIANAPOLIS .>> Ninan: WELL, FROM REPORTER ALLIE LA FORCE TO " THE FORCE" THAT'S DRAWING TOURISTS TO A PLACE WE CALL " STAR WARS ISLAND ," NEXT .>> Ninan: WELL, THIS PAST WEEK, CBS NEWS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT MARK PHILLIPS TOOK US TO A PLACE THAT'S GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION SINCE THE LATEST " STAR WARS" MOVIE CAME OUT.

IN REAL LIFE, YOU NEED A BOAT TO GET TO SKELLIG MICHAEL, SEVEN LUMPY MILES OFF THE SOUTHWESTERN TIP OF IRELAND.

REY FOUND LUKE SKYWALKER, WE FOUND BOB .>> NICE TO SEE YOU .>> WELCOME TO SKELLIG .>> Reporter: BOB NORMALLY GUIDES TOURISTS UP THE MORE THAN 600 STEPS THAT CLIMB TO THE TOP OF THIS UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE.

JANET MOORE BEAMED UP FROM TAMPA .>> WE WERE PLANNING TO COME TO IRELAND BEFORE EVEN THE " STAR WARS" MOVIE CAME OUT, AND THEN THAT CLINCHED IT .(\ LAUGHS \)>> Reporter: IT CLINCHED BRIAN AND ELLIE SUMMERFIELD FROM MICHIGAN, TOO .>> WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO COME OUT HERE AND PRETEND THAT I WAS LUKE SKYWALKER AND SHE WAS... WHAT WAS THE NAME AGAIN ?>> REY .>> REY, YEAH .>> Reporter: THE FORCE, THE OLD FORCE, HAS ALWAYS BEEN STRONG HERE. BUT A NEW KIND OF FORCE, SOME FEAR, MAY BE THE UNDOING OF THIS PLACE. ONE BRIEF SEQUENCE IN A MOVIE MAY HAVE UNDONE 1, 500 YEARS OF REAL HISTORY. PADDY BUSHE IS A LOCAL POET .>> IF YOU GET CROWDS OF PEOPLE WHO SIMPLY WANT TO VISIT A MOVIE SET, THEN SKELLIG IS NO LONGER SKELLIG. IT'S SOMETHING ELSE .>> Reporter: 180 TOURISTS ARE NOW ALLOWED EACH DAY. MORE MAY BE TOO MUCH FOR THIS PLACE. SOMETIMES THE PLACE SEEMS TOO MUCH FOR THEM.
