12
00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:28,320
guess we are flying uh you know like uh

13
00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:30,640
17 000 miles per hour

14
00:00:37,510 --> 00:00:33,040
on earth now we can serve the world at

15
00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:40,389
and tj you several years ago we won't

16
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:43,120
call you a geek although i do sometimes

17
00:00:49,029 --> 00:00:45,760
but you are loving lovingly lovingly

18
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:49,039
yeah you are our i.t expert on board and

19
00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:50,640
you actually a few years ago spent some

20
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:52,399
time with the team on the ground

21
00:00:56,630 --> 00:00:54,320
um and others

22
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:56,640
uh defining the these requirements for

23
00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:58,559
this new capability that's that's very

24
00:01:01,430 --> 00:00:59,359
true

25
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:01,440
it's actually got a very rich and long

26
00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:03,440
history but not not support everybody

27
00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:04,960
the um this whole concept actually

28
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:06,960
started back in march of 2000 january

29
00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:08,560
2000 and

30
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:10,240
we met bilaterally with the russians in

31
00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:12,960
march of 2000 and designed a network

32
00:01:16,630 --> 00:01:15,280
that would support expedition 1 and they

33
00:01:18,789 --> 00:01:16,640
were to launch in

34
00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:18,799
september october of 2000

35
00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:20,720
and along with that plan came with a

36
00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:21,920
forward

37
00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:25,280
with the increasing modules and more

38
00:01:30,069 --> 00:01:27,439
partners and more people using it

39
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:30,079
and so it's really really exciting for

40
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:31,520
us to be able to

41
00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:32,960
to see that this comes coming to

42
00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:35,360
fruition from that long time plan but

43
00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:36,479
more to the point the people been

44
00:01:39,749 --> 00:01:38,079
working very very hard to make this a

45
00:01:40,950 --> 00:01:39,759
reality now i've gotten to the point

46
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:40,960
where the communications the

47
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:42,560
infrastructure both on board and the

48
00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:45,040
ground could support this possibility so

49
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:46,960
we're going live and it's really

50
00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:49,119
exciting to see a vision come come to

51
00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:51,280
fruition that's pretty cool it now

52
00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:53,600
you're not saying it took 10 years to

53
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:55,520
get the capability it was 10 years in

54
00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:57,360
the plan yeah absolutely true and it

55
00:02:00,389 --> 00:01:58,880
took a few months i think for the team

56
00:02:02,630 --> 00:02:00,399
on the ground to actually pull it

57
00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:02,640
together absolutely and we're really

58
00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:05,119
happy with it because it it helps us

59
00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:06,399
feel like we're a little bit more in

60
00:02:10,150 --> 00:02:07,920
touch

61
00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:10,160
with the world below us and we don't

62
00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:13,040
have to limit ourselves now to day old

63
00:02:18,309 --> 00:02:15,680
news all the time we have a little bit

64
00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:18,319
more closer to real time access now we

65
00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:20,160
have up here the nasa website of course

66
00:02:24,869 --> 00:02:22,560
we had to check it out to see what's

67
00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:24,879
going on the international space station

68
00:02:27,430 --> 00:02:26,319
from the world's point of view and we

69
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:27,440
see that the

70
00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:30,239
tj's first tweet is right up there on

71
00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:32,560
the nasa website and we understand that

72
00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:34,560
made a little bit of a splash on the

73
00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:37,360
ground i'm gonna send a tweet right now

74
00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:39,120
we're uh

75
00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:41,200
calling today

76
00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:42,879
since today's our day off and we

77
00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:44,480
actually had time to get on the internet

78
00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:46,640
we're calling it the iss

79
00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:49,280
internet grand opening and that's what

80
00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:52,480
i'm tweeting about right now

81
00:02:56,470 --> 00:02:53,280
so

82
00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:56,480
i've got it typed and here we go

83
00:03:01,990 --> 00:02:58,480
and it's gone

84
00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:02,000
and i already saw a question does it

85
00:03:06,710 --> 00:03:04,400
go real time or is it delayed it's

86
00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:06,720
essentially real time right and real

87
00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:08,080
time yeah and you can check that it's

88
00:03:13,589 --> 00:03:10,720
about 15 30 gmt time

89
00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:13,599
or about 9 30 in houston time so when

90
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:15,760
you look at that tweet from jeff you can

91
00:03:19,589 --> 00:03:17,440
see the time stamp it's about 9 30

92
00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:19,599
alright here's some time on the 24th of

93
