00:00:10,299 --> 00:00:08,980
hi I'm astronaut Mike Massimino earlier

2
00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:10,309
this year I flew aboard space shuttle

3
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:11,830
Atlantis to the Hubble Space Telescope

4
00:00:16,299 --> 00:00:14,510
my crewmates and I spent more than two

5
00:00:18,130 --> 00:00:16,309
years training for that mission and now

6
00:00:19,689 --> 00:00:18,140
another crew is getting ready to fly on

7
00:00:22,089 --> 00:00:19,699
Atlantis and they're going to the

8
00:00:23,529 --> 00:00:22,099
International Space Station they've been

9
00:00:25,450 --> 00:00:23,539
working hard to get ready for their

10
00:00:27,009 --> 00:00:25,460
flight and they've let us follow them

11
00:00:29,259 --> 00:00:27,019
around for the past few weeks with a

12
00:00:30,970 --> 00:00:29,269
camera we're about to show you some of

13
00:00:33,790 --> 00:00:30,980
that footage and you're going to get an

14
00:00:35,470 --> 00:00:33,800
up-close view of the crew go inside

15
00:00:36,850 --> 00:00:35,480
their training and hear some of the

16
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:36,860
stories from the astronauts and their

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:41,330
team this is STS 129 behind the scenes

18
00:00:55,229 --> 00:00:52,740
an extra vehicular activity extra

19
00:00:58,290 --> 00:00:55,239
outside the dip so ETA that's what we're

20
00:01:00,780 --> 00:00:58,300
perfect Mara anyway so these guys

21
00:01:03,090 --> 00:01:00,790
they're the three space walkers on our

22
00:01:06,810 --> 00:01:03,100
mission I am there what's called the

23
00:01:09,690 --> 00:01:06,820
suit IV as you say that helps what's

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:09,700
this IV me I talked about EV a now what

25
00:01:14,190 --> 00:01:12,010
is this idea of vehicular okay inside

26
00:01:16,890 --> 00:01:14,200
the big alright so when it comes to the

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:16,900
suits inside the vehicle I'm the guy

28
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:18,610
that basically I'm the guy that helps

29
00:01:22,260 --> 00:01:20,050
him get everything ready I'm the guy

30
00:01:24,270 --> 00:01:22,270
that suits them up along with I think

31
00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:24,280
nicole stott is another suit IV for this

32
00:01:27,540 --> 00:01:26,320
mission she's on basically yeah she's

33
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:27,550
already there did you really helped me

34
00:01:30,570 --> 00:01:29,410
out cuz she's eres he's there you should

35
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:30,580
know what's going on where they hide

36
00:01:35,790 --> 00:01:33,250
stuff nothing so this is the fifth or

37
00:01:39,450 --> 00:01:35,800
sixth all day session we've had with

38
00:01:42,410 --> 00:01:39,460
this repin post where we are again going

39
00:01:44,340 --> 00:01:42,420
through the processes the steps of the

40
00:01:46,410 --> 00:01:44,350
procedures to make sure we get

41
00:01:47,850 --> 00:01:46,420
everything in line check it up so when

42
00:01:49,499 --> 00:01:47,860
these guys go out the door everything's

43
00:01:51,029 --> 00:01:49,509
hooked up right everything's connected

44
00:01:53,279 --> 00:01:51,039
all the systems in their suits work

45
00:01:54,570 --> 00:01:53,289
right and so that's what we're doing

46
00:01:56,070 --> 00:01:54,580
today how big thing about this they're

47
00:01:58,980 --> 00:01:56,080
going to be locked inside of that space

48
00:02:00,809 --> 00:01:58,990
suit the EVs are playing the spacewalks

49
00:02:02,460 --> 00:02:00,819
are paying for what 6am powers right in

50
00:02:04,130 --> 00:02:02,470
half seven okay that's it that's the

51
00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:04,140
time for me put the battery power on

52
00:02:09,270 --> 00:02:06,880
until I may come in and close the hatch

53
00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:09,280
exactly or less but they're in the suit

54
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:11,200
a lot longer and as you have to do a pre

55
00:02:14,490 --> 00:02:12,610
bridge so they're in the shoe probably

56
00:02:16,949 --> 00:02:14,500
for about eight hours or so at least

57
00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:16,959
eight to nine eight and if they're

58
00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:19,630
normal transit and if the spacewalk runs

59
00:02:23,490 --> 00:02:21,280
long like sometimes a spacewalk goes

60
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:23,500
seven eight hours even right to get you

61
00:02:27,870 --> 00:02:25,360
know you might be in that suit for like

62
00:02:30,210 --> 00:02:27,880
nine or ten hour or so there's nothing

63
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:30,220
to eat inside of it got a little 32

64
00:02:33,690 --> 00:02:32,050
ounces of water and the bag is kind of

65
00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:33,700
flattened around their chest right for

66
00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:35,440
the hose it comes up if they can of

67
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:36,640
course they can't grab it with our hands

68
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:38,170
over mouth because their hands are not

69
00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:40,209
inside their suit right so they can grab

70
00:02:45,059 --> 00:02:43,209
the tube stuck on NASA 32 ounces of

71
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:45,069
water for eight to ten hours you're

72
00:02:48,119 --> 00:02:46,209
gonna probably practice getting out

73
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:48,129
inside the bag yes exactly and the other

74
00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:51,910
thing is is that sort of no snacks so

75
00:02:55,740 --> 00:02:53,440
they have to know they want to use the

76
00:02:57,420 --> 00:02:55,750
potty and eat and get it already but

77
00:02:59,070 --> 00:02:57,430
anything is this comfort inside of that

78
00:03:00,300 --> 00:02:59,080
suit or so probably I bet what these

79
00:03:01,130 --> 00:03:00,310
guys have that you're gonna have to pay

80
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:01,140
attention to

81
00:03:04,940 --> 00:03:03,210
is trying to make them as comfortable as

82
00:03:08,270 --> 00:03:04,950
possible before you lock him in aerie

83
00:03:09,890 --> 00:03:08,280
turn so it's like little pads and no no

84
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:09,900
whatever they meet goals you know let's

85
00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:12,690
didn't work out price snap this and some

86
00:03:18,530 --> 00:03:13,910
of these guys may have like little

87
00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:18,540
things like for me the earpads in the

88
00:03:24,350 --> 00:03:21,209
comm cap yeah would fold my ear down if

89
00:03:26,690 --> 00:03:24,360
I left my oh yeah it's terrible right so

90
00:03:28,670 --> 00:03:26,700
I would move those things down it's
