1
00:00:07,909 --> 00:00:04,309
one minute to release

2
00:00:09,270 --> 00:00:07,919
atlantis is 350 miles above the uh

3
00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:09,280
atlantic ocean

4
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:15,270
and the release of the hubble space

5
00:00:27,589 --> 00:00:25,429
in houston hubble has been released

6
00:00:29,429 --> 00:00:27,599
it's safely back on its journey of

7
00:00:32,069 --> 00:00:29,439
exploration as we

8
00:00:33,670 --> 00:00:32,079
begin steps to conclude ours

9
00:00:36,229 --> 00:00:33,680
looking back on this mission it's been

10
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:36,239
an incredible journey for us as well

11
00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:38,000
i think it's demonstrated the triumph

12
00:00:42,229 --> 00:00:40,160
that humans can have when they overcome

13
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:42,239
challenges that have presented them

14
00:00:45,350 --> 00:00:44,160
not everything went as we planned but we

15
00:00:47,110 --> 00:00:45,360
planned

16
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:47,120
uh a way to work around everything and

17
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:49,440
with the whole team pulling together

kennedy to get us here we've been able

20
00:00:56,630 --> 00:00:55,199
to do some incredible things together

21
00:00:59,110 --> 00:00:56,640
and that's uh the thing that i think

22
00:01:02,069 --> 00:00:59,120
about hubble we've done it together

23
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:02,079
and now hubble can continue on its own

24
00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:03,840
exploring the cosmos and bringing them

25
00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:06,720
home to us as we head for home in a few

26
00:01:14,030 --> 00:01:07,600
