1
00:00:12,789 --> 00:00:10,310
good morning discovery and a special

2
00:00:15,190 --> 00:00:12,799
good morning to you steve lindsey

3
00:00:17,990 --> 00:00:15,200
good morning mike and thanks to my

4
00:00:20,070 --> 00:00:18,000
family for that song

5
00:00:22,470 --> 00:00:20,080
houston discovery from the station for

6
00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:22,480
robo starting uh gravel now

7
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:27,910
and this begins our robotics operations

8
00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:29,920
today as the station's arm will be used

9
00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:32,559
to reach over grab on to the obss

10
00:00:35,990 --> 00:00:34,000
lift it out of the payload bay and hand

11
00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:36,000
it off to discovery's robotic arm

12
00:00:42,830 --> 00:00:38,960
houston and discovery you are go for

13
00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:42,840
srms obss grapple

14
00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:44,879
okay cool describe your day

15
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:46,800
all right can you see the cupola

16
00:00:51,029 --> 00:00:48,800
yes they can all right so this is a

17
00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:51,039
beautiful place to work from you'll see

18
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,600
we're pointing towards the earth

19
00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:55,680
just beautiful panoramic windows and

20
00:00:59,029 --> 00:00:57,280
very fortunately we have the robotics

21
00:01:02,389 --> 00:00:59,039
workstation set up in here

22
00:01:05,509 --> 00:01:02,399
so that we can work with both the uh

23
00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:05,519
station arm and then in partnership with

24
00:01:10,870 --> 00:01:07,360
the guys over on the shuttle who have

25
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:10,880
the shuttle robotic arm and today mike

26
00:01:14,230 --> 00:01:13,040
and i did some work moving the big

27
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:14,240
shuttle boom

28
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:16,560
out and around and handing it off to the

29
00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:20,320
um shuttle arm extension

30
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:21,680
um

31
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:24,000
later katie and i got to do a task that

32
00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:25,680
we call a walk-off which is where we

33
00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:27,360
take one end of the arm

34
00:01:31,429 --> 00:01:29,200
put it on a place on the station take

35
00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:31,439
the other end off and now the base and

36
00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:32,880
the tip are

37
00:01:36,390 --> 00:01:34,880
exchanged so basically this arm is very

38
00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:36,400
cool because you can move it all over

39
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:38,079
the space station to different spots and

40
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:40,479
it gives you different access to

41
00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:42,000
do all kinds of work across the space

42
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:46,389
what are you up to today

43
00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:49,119
i am trent i'm a transfer in food

44
00:01:56,469 --> 00:01:50,640
delivering the crew care package

45
00:02:03,429 --> 00:01:57,830
hey katie

46
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:05,190
so that's your day today

47
00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:08,399
a little robotics this morning did obss

48
00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:12,560
handover and uh doing transfer and uh

49
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:14,480
learning how much i don't know about

50
00:02:22,869 --> 00:02:19,990
tell us what you've done today well

51
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:22,879
let's see i i got up i flew through this

52
00:02:28,869 --> 00:02:26,080
magnificent station and then uh i got to

53
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:28,879
remove the obss from the payload bay

54
00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:30,560
twirl it around and hand it off to the

55
00:02:34,309 --> 00:02:32,560
shuttle arm so the shuttle guys could

56
00:02:37,270 --> 00:02:34,319
that's us

57
00:02:38,949 --> 00:02:37,280
use it to look around and then i did the

58
00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:38,959
activation check out of the new

59
00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:40,959
tonometer with our eye simulators and

60
00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:43,040
now i get to go exercise

61
00:02:48,309 --> 00:02:44,720
mostly i'm just enjoying being back on

62
00:02:49,910 --> 00:02:48,319
this magnificent stack of modules

63
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:49,920
i remember the first shuttle flight back

64
00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:52,720
in 1981 my three daughters don't they

65
00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:55,440
have no idea do you think space travel

66
00:03:00,550 --> 00:02:58,480
is getting to be old news what's next

67
00:03:01,670 --> 00:03:00,560
for nasa after the shuttle program is

68
00:03:03,350 --> 00:03:01,680
retired

69
00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:03,360
well i think the objective that nasa set

70
00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:05,440
out back in 58

71
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:07,360
was that that space travel shouldn't

72
00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:08,720
really be news after a while it should

73
00:03:12,390 --> 00:03:10,720
be part of our routine existence so to

74
00:03:14,149 --> 00:03:12,400
think that we've had the space station

75
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:14,159
continually inhabited for the last 10

76
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:15,840
years so there are fifth graders who've

77
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:17,440
never known the space station not to be

78
00:03:20,949 --> 00:03:19,200
in space with astronauts on board i

79
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:20,959
think is a major success a milestone for

80
00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:22,080
nasa

81
00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:24,000
so what i look forward to in the future

82
00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:26,400
is when space travel becomes routine uh

83
00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:28,080
just as back in the 1930s only

84
00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:29,680
daredevils and barnstormers took to the

85
00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,280
skies and now we have everybody flying

86
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:33,519
around in airlines at some point and uh

87
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:35,200
before these children become

88
00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:37,280
old uh we should have routine travel

89
00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:39,360
people above the planet here above earth

90
00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:41,360
here and maybe traveling out to the moon

91
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:43,120
for nasa i think the push out into the

92
00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:44,879
solar system is what's next for us go to

93
00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:47,840
the moon go to mars the asteroid belt to

94
00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:49,519
go and explore to push out the frontiers

95
00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:52,560
which we've been doing since 1958

96
00:03:56,270 --> 00:03:54,720
so here we have b alvin drew and steve

97
00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:56,280
bowen

98
00:04:00,149 --> 00:03:58,560
uncharacteristically speechless actually

99
00:04:02,149 --> 00:04:00,159
they can't talk because they're wearing

100
00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:02,159
masks

101
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:06,159
because they're terribly comfortable

102
00:04:10,470 --> 00:04:08,720
and they're starting to uh pre-breathe

103
00:04:12,149 --> 00:04:10,480
oxygen to wash the nitrogen out of their

104
00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:12,159
bodies getting ready for their spacewalk

105
00:04:14,869 --> 00:04:13,200
tomorrow

106
00:04:16,150 --> 00:04:14,879
in about a half hour we're going to shut

107
00:04:18,150 --> 00:04:16,160
the door here and they're going to

108
00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:18,160
depress down to uh

109
00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:21,680
about 10.2 psi roughly about 10 000 feet

110
00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:23,280
in altitude and

111
00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:25,759
they'll spend the night there and uh

112
00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:27,360
we'll let them out for a short time in

113
00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:28,720
the morning

114
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:30,320
to hit the bathroom and clean up a

115
00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:31,840
little bit and then we'll go back in

116
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:34,080
here and they'll be on masks for that

117
00:04:37,590 --> 00:04:36,080
and once they get back in here we'll get

118
00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:37,600
them all dressed up in their spacesuits

119
00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:39,600
and ready to go out the door

120
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:41,280
and our commander has given them all

121
00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:43,520
sorts of words of encouragement and also

122
00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:45,120
told that if they do a bad job he won't

123
00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,479
let him back in
