00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:16,960
they look at all their hardware as it's

36
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:18,560
packed as it stowed that they're going

37
00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:20,400
to see in flight that's purpose of the

38
00:01:24,550 --> 00:01:22,400
review it's the last time they see it

39
00:01:26,789 --> 00:01:24,560
before they see it in space this is like

40
00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:26,799
you're going on a big trip exactly right

41
00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:28,320
and you're ch and someone's pack few so

42
00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:29,360
one of the cool things about being an

43
00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:30,640
astronaut is you get to pick out the

44
00:01:34,469 --> 00:01:32,640
stuff you need and then someone else

45
00:01:36,390 --> 00:01:34,479
packs it for you because packing stinks

46
00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:36,400
no one likes to pack right

47
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:47,749
he's got the blue one yeah real nice

48
00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:49,680
blue maybe he just did his hair maybe is

49
00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:52,399
that what happened did he just do it

50
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:53,360
like that

51
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:54,960

52
00:01:58,069 --> 00:01:56,000

bogan arm uh you attach this somewhere

57
00:02:08,309 --> 00:02:06,000
on the shuttle yeah and then you put

58
00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:08,319
like a camera or a platform or something

59
00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:09,920

60
00:02:13,589 --> 00:02:11,440
it kind of where you want

61
00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:13,599
