>>[Inaudible.]

179
00:05:56,430 --> 00:05:57,470
>>You're doing two things
at once, I'm impressed.

180
00:05:57,470 --> 00:05:58,280
So you got some contamination.

181
00:05:58,280 --> 00:05:59,030
The water got contaminated.

182
00:05:59,030 --> 00:06:00,950
>>Right, so we couldn't run the suits
because the cooling system wasn't working.

183
00:06:00,950 --> 00:06:01,070
>>Right.

184
00:06:01,070 --> 00:06:02,480
>>So we went to our international
partners, the Russians,

185
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,500
and they said, "Ok you could use our suits."

186
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:04,730
So we went out and did our
[inaudible] in the Russian suit.

187
00:06:04,730 --> 00:06:05,930
>>Wow! That must have been
challenging I would think?

188
00:06:05,930 --> 00:06:06,680
Were you able to do everything?

189
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:06,860
>>Yeah, yeah.

190
00:06:06,860 --> 00:06:08,750
Because we weren't doing something that
was super difficult like you would do

191
00:06:08,750 --> 00:06:11,240
on a Hubbell mission or one of the assembly
missions, but it was an important critical task

192
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,440
to fix a power junction box that was broke.

193
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:12,560
>>Ok.

194
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,160
>>It was a lot of fun.

195
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:13,400
>>Ok, cool.

196
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,510
Alright, well thanks Mike.

197

198
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:24,830
Any last requests?

199
00:06:24,830 --> 00:06:26,900
>>[Inaudible] Mikey, you're kind of tall.

200
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:29,510
>>I make them put the suit up really high.
