feeling did you have when you first

32
00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:17,360
looked out the window

33
00:01:21,749 --> 00:01:19,439
well let me first say you know for

34
00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:21,759
everybody there welcome aboard the space

35
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:23,680
station it's a

36
00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:25,520
great opportunity for us to have a

37
00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:26,400
chance

38
00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:28,320
to talk to the folks there back in

39
00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:30,880
tucson i know i probably know some

40
00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:33,520
people in the in the office we can't see

41
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:34,720

42
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:35,520
but

43
00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:37,200
you know it's it's nice to have the

44
00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:39,119
opportunity to do this event we just got

45
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:41,200
up i imagine you guys are getting ready

46
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:43,200
to go to sleep this morning

47
00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:45,200
um with rega

48
00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:46,880
or this evening with regards to your

49
00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:49,200
question though for me when i first saw

50
00:01:53,990 --> 00:01:51,600
the earth it was over 10 years ago i

51
00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:54,000
very distinctly remember it i was the

52
00:01:58,069 --> 00:01:56,320
pilot on the same space shuttle that's

53
00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:58,079
docked just a little bit to

54
00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:00,079
out that hatch and to our left space

55
00:02:05,429 --> 00:02:03,040
shuttle endeavour and at mach 15

56
00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:05,439
when you're going into orbit

57
00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:07,680
the space shuttle rolls ahead

58
00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:09,599
to heads up so it's upside down and it

59
00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:11,440
rolls heads up and i looked over my

60
00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:13,360
right shoulder out the window you could

61
00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:15,360
see this big blue planet out there and

62
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:16,720
it's really like even though it was ten

63
00:02:21,589 --> 00:02:18,560
years ago it's like it was yesterday

64
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:21,599
very very spectacular view it's pretty

65
00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:30,070
i'm going to add to that answer

66
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:32,160
only because

67
00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:34,480
i experienced

68
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:35,280
my

69
00:02:39,270 --> 00:02:38,080
first daytime liftoff about a week and a

70
00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:39,280
half ago

71
00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:42,080
and to my left was commander kelly

72
00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:43,920
and i was the pilot in the right seat

73
00:02:47,670 --> 00:02:46,640
just like mark was recalling from 10

74
00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:47,680
years ago

75
00:02:54,070 --> 00:02:51,519
it was at night and so

76
00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:54,080
this past launch was my first day launch

77
00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:55,120
as well

78
00:02:59,430 --> 00:02:57,440
and looking over my right shoulder i was

79
00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:59,440
amazed at how

80
00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:00,480
the

81
00:03:05,270 --> 00:03:03,599
atlantic ocean accelerated by

82
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:05,280
i do recall looking out the window and

83
00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:07,280
mark said focus

84
00:03:11,509 --> 00:03:09,040
because as the pilot i'm supposed to

85
00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:11,519
focus on the engines and other systems

86
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:13,360
but i was amazed at what it looked like

87
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,720
out the window so i just wanted to share

88
00:03:18,309 --> 00:03:16,560
that with you

89
00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:18,319
in station houston on space round two

90
00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:21,040
for mike we wanted to congratulate you

91
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:25,040
on breaking the duration record 377 days

92
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:28,400
and counting our hearty congratulations

93
00:03:32,789 --> 00:03:29,920
thanks lucia and

94
00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:32,799
thanks to all the people i've phone with

95
00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:34,560
and all the folks have

96
00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:36,400
supported us from the grounds it's been

97
00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:38,959
a great ride but honestly i hope this

98
00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:40,799
record that we said is going to get

99
00:03:44,070 --> 00:03:42,080
broken by

100
00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:44,080
future people and this will be

101
00:03:46,869 --> 00:03:45,120
just a

102
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:46,879
i guess a ripple in the wind of uh

103
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:49,440
humans conquering space so uh

104
00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:51,200
for for the moment though i'm gonna

105
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:54,000
enjoy it thanks for congratulations

106
00:04:00,070 --> 00:03:56,080
and it's been a real joy and we also

107
00:04:04,949 --> 00:04:01,670
lucia just so you know mike's plan to

108
00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:06,869
good deal

109
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:09,200
so hey guys so what a bunch of space

110
00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:11,760
walkers do uh after all the space walks

111
00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:17,509
what's this this is a carbon dioxide

112
00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:19,600
removal assembly

113
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:21,120
looks like a truck engine and we're

114
00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:23,360
taking it up completely apart to change

115
00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:25,600
out that bed in there in the middle

116
00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:27,440
right a little bit everything's gonna

117
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:29,280
come off and everything's gonna go back

118
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:32,320
on no problem it's a full day job but uh

119
00:04:35,749 --> 00:04:34,160
we can handle it it looks like something

120
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:35,759
that a bunch of guys who've been on the

121
00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:37,520
space station a long time would know how

122
00:04:41,590 --> 00:04:38,400
to do

123
00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:43,030
so how long you've been working on this

124
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:45,040
thing a couple hours yeah i know you

125
00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:46,960
guys been hiding in here but hey for

126
00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:49,360
those of you watching nasa tv if you fix

127
00:04:53,749 --> 00:04:51,199
things at home anything like fixing your

128
00:04:55,110 --> 00:04:53,759
own furnace working on your own car you

129
00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:55,120
know any little thing that you any

130
00:04:58,469 --> 00:04:56,880
maintenance kind of work you do at home

131
00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:58,479
is good space flight training that's

132
00:05:01,670 --> 00:05:00,560
true absolutely

133
00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:01,680
all right

134
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:03,360
hey there's one other thing in here that

135
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:05,440
i noted there's uh isn't there like an

136
00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:06,960
experiment over here that's like really

137
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:10,560
fragile that's called be cat and it's uh

138
00:05:16,390 --> 00:05:13,600
binary colloids colloids

139
00:05:18,950 --> 00:05:16,400
basically it's looking at how colloidal

140
00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:18,960
particles in a fluid

141
00:05:28,230 --> 00:05:25,520
separate and uh it's over a long period

142
00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:28,240
of time in zero g and and you see a

143
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:30,000
camera there set uh set up to take

144
00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:31,680
special pictures of that

145
00:05:34,150 --> 00:05:33,120
it's uh it's been going on the space

146
00:05:35,749 --> 00:05:34,160
station for a long time and they're

147
00:05:37,510 --> 00:05:35,759
learning a lot about how fluids behave

148
00:05:40,150 --> 00:05:37,520
in space and that's a that's a really

149
00:05:42,150 --> 00:05:40,160
neat experiment tell you what uh tez has

150
00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:42,160
a couple phds and you know why and

151
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:43,919
understand stuff like that and then

152
00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:47,600
looking up here here we see the uh jlp

153
00:05:53,189 --> 00:05:50,240
wanted by another can do crew oh yeah

154
00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:53,199
can do crew yeah you betcha um what's

155
00:05:56,629 --> 00:05:54,400
interesting right here is we've done a

156
00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:56,639
lot of our pr shots on at this

157
00:06:00,710 --> 00:05:58,319
particular location

158
00:06:02,469 --> 00:06:00,720
and that's what we kind of hold our feet

159
00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:02,479
down with these little uh

160
00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:04,560
foot restraints what's interesting

161
00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:08,160
though is they're located not exactly

162
00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:10,560
aligned with the hatch they're actually

163
00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:13,199
pretty far back and so if you just jump

164
00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:15,440
straight up you might hit that hatch

165
00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:17,360
right there i think we might have seen

166
00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:19,280
that earlier did that happen to you but

167
00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:20,720
yeah it did

168
00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:22,880
all right guys show me a jump show me a
