shuttle discovery

00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:20,320
her 30-year mission to seek out new

4
00:00:25,589 --> 00:00:22,880
science to build new outposts to bring

5
00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:25,599
nations together on the final frontier

6
00:00:33,670 --> 00:00:28,320
to boldly go and do

7
00:00:38,069 --> 00:00:35,670
on its final flight space shuttle

8
00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:38,079
discovery is once again flying on its

own

00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:40,800
the space shuttle undocked from the

11
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:42,719
international space station

12
00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:45,440

morning

14
00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:49,280
and began its final trip back to earth

15
00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:51,920
on its 39th flight to space

16
00:00:57,029 --> 00:00:54,160
commander steve lindsey and his crew

17
00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:57,039
undocked on time pilot eric beau took

18
00:01:01,510 --> 00:00:59,760
the controls of discovery backed it away

19
00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:01,520
from the international space station to

20
00:01:07,510 --> 00:01:04,640
about 600 feet and then conducted a very

21
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:07,520
slow fly around of the station starting

22
00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:10,400
from that point out in front and flying

23
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:13,439
discovery around the station first to a

24
00:01:22,469 --> 00:01:18,870
then to a point behind the space

25
00:01:27,749 --> 00:01:24,390
then directly underneath the space

26
00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:29,910
and back out in front of the space

27
00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:32,720
station before the shuttles jets were

28
00:01:37,149 --> 00:01:35,119
fired to begin its separation from the

29
00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:37,159
international space station

30
00:01:47,749 --> 00:01:45,990
you guys are heading home i wanted to

31
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:47,759
say one last time that we really enjoyed

32
00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:49,680
your company on board and i'm really

33
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:51,759
proud of what we accomplished together

34
00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:54,960
as a team here on the space station

35
00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:55,840
but

36
00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:58,399
also including the larger team in

37
00:02:02,230 --> 00:02:00,079
houston and all the control centers

38
00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:02,240
around the world this

39
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:03,840
space program and doing something as

40
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:06,640
complicated as this really takes a team

41
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:08,640
effort and i think what we've proven

42
00:02:12,229 --> 00:02:10,319
here this last week

43
00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:12,239
like to wish you guys a safe rest your

44
00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:15,200
flight and a safe landing and i will see

45
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:17,840
you all back in houston here in about a

46
00:02:21,910 --> 00:02:19,840
week or so

47
00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:21,920
hey scott i couldn't agree more i think

48
00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:23,760
the team over between our two crews and

49
00:02:27,589 --> 00:02:25,840
the larger ground team that planned this

50
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:27,599
and put it all together i think enabled

51
00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:30,720
us together to get well over 100 of our

52
00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:32,000
objectives i don't know what percentage

53
00:02:35,509 --> 00:02:33,360
but it's a lot more than we planned on

54
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:35,519
doing and it's been a pleasure working

55
00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:37,200
with your team and uh look forward to

56
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:39,040
seeing you guys have safe travel for

57
00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:41,280
everybody on board and we will see you
