1
00:00:07,990 --> 00:00:04,710
there was a time

2
00:00:10,950 --> 00:00:08,000
in the american frontier west

3
00:00:13,190 --> 00:00:10,960
when the federal government had forts

4
00:00:15,829 --> 00:00:13,200
and they conducted business and missions

5
00:00:16,870 --> 00:00:15,839
in these forts along the lines that they

6
00:00:19,590 --> 00:00:16,880
wanted

7
00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:19,600
but the supplies for the forts

8
00:00:23,830 --> 00:00:22,400
were contracted out to american free

9
00:00:26,950 --> 00:00:23,840
enterprise

10
00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:26,960
supplies

11
00:00:31,589 --> 00:00:28,640
to the frontier

12
00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:31,599
using wagon trains and eventually they

13
00:00:35,350 --> 00:00:33,440
built railroads

14
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:35,360
all with the help from the federal

15
00:00:40,549 --> 00:00:37,280
government

16
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:40,559
and this eventually led to the

17
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:42,960
settlement of the frontier that we call

18
00:00:48,229 --> 00:00:45,600
the west

19
00:00:50,549 --> 00:00:48,239
fast forward 150 years

20
00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:50,559
and we are seeing the same story being

21
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:51,920
replayed

22
00:00:56,709 --> 00:00:53,760
the settings a little different the

23
00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:56,719
frontier is now space

24
00:01:00,709 --> 00:00:59,760
perhaps the ultimate frontier

25
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:00,719
and

26
00:01:06,789 --> 00:01:04,080
the mission is still being conducted by

27
00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:06,799
the federal government however the

28
00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:11,360
supplies are about to be delivered via

29
00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:14,000
american free enterprise

30
00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:16,080
and this

31
00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:18,159
tried and trued

32
00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:19,680
system

33
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:22,799
which helped settle the american west

34
00:01:26,950 --> 00:01:24,400
will

35
00:01:32,069 --> 00:01:26,960
help contribute to getting

36
00:01:37,350 --> 00:01:33,990
now the first

37
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:37,360
american free enterprise

38
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:40,479
delivery of goods and supplies is going

39
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:42,479
to occur with spacex

40
00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:45,200
and their spacecraft dragon

41
00:01:48,789 --> 00:01:47,680
on its first

42
00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:48,799
wagon

43
00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:51,040
journey to the international space

44
00:01:55,429 --> 00:01:52,880
station

45
00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:55,439
then there will be other vehicles

46
00:02:00,950 --> 00:01:58,719
designed by orbital sciences cygnus and

47
00:02:03,109 --> 00:02:00,960
perhaps even more

48
00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:03,119
and they will be bringing supplies to

49
00:02:06,789 --> 00:02:05,600
space station so that we can continue to

50
00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:06,799
conduct

51
00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:10,560
the business of exploring space in this

52
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:12,400
frontier

53
00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:14,560
when

54
00:02:19,110 --> 00:02:16,560
dragon shows up here in a couple of

55
00:02:19,990 --> 00:02:19,120
weeks andre kuipers and i

56
00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:20,000
will be

57
00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:23,280
the crew that flies a robotic arm will

58
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:26,239
be working together and the dragon

59
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:28,640
vehicle does not dock the space station

60
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:32,080
it flies close to space station and then

61
00:02:37,509 --> 00:02:34,239
andre and i working together

62
00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:37,519
will fly the arm close to the vehicle

63
00:02:42,309 --> 00:02:40,160
and we'll kind of lasso it will snag it

64
00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:42,319
and then we'll use the arm to manipulate

65
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:44,319
the vehicle and bring it up to one of

66
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:46,560
our docking systems we call this

67
00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:48,640
birthing not docking

68
00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:51,840
and then once it is birthed to space

69
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:53,440
station we'll

70
00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:56,319
uh outfit the hatch area and open the

71
00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:58,560
hatch and then we can start offloading

72
00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:01,760
the supplies so uh hang on to your hats

73
00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:05,040
the first wagon of supplies

74
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:08,159
will be arriving here shortly

75
00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:10,560
when dragon comes to space station here

76
00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:12,800
in a couple of weeks

77
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:14,480
it's going to first

78
00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:17,440
fly close and that's because this is the

79
00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:18,560
first

80
00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:21,120
of a commercial vehicle to come to space

81
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:23,120
station we want to make sure we have all

82
00:03:27,990 --> 00:03:25,440
our ducks in a line and instead of just

83
00:03:29,110 --> 00:03:28,000
flying right up about 30 feet from

84
00:03:30,070 --> 00:03:29,120
station

85
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,080
we're gonna

86
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:32,640
first just kind of fly close it's like

87
00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:34,720
sticking your toes in the water just to

88
00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:36,720
make sure that everything's okay before

89
00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:38,080
you jump in

90
00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:40,879
and and that's that's a part of the

91
00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:42,560
demonstration

92
00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:44,319
part of this mission

93
00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:47,040
and then after after it's done the the

94
00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:48,480
close flyby

95
00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:50,480
then we're going to regroup

96
00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:52,239
it's going to come back and it's going

97
00:03:56,710 --> 00:03:53,920
to get real close it's going to fly 10

98
00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:56,720
meters away that's about 30 feet and

99
00:04:02,309 --> 00:03:58,640
it's just going to hover there while

100
00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:02,319
andre and i working the canada arm are

101
00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:04,000
gonna uh

102
00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:07,680
snag the dragon vehicle and once we've

103
00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:08,959
captured the vehicle on the end of the

104
00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:10,560
arm then we can

105
00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:12,720
readily manipulate the vehicle and put

106
00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:14,560
it against one of our

107
00:04:20,310 --> 00:04:17,759
our common berthing mechanism ports

108
00:04:24,629 --> 00:04:20,320
and then uh we'll

109
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:24,639
uh drive the bolts to to bolt the the

110
00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:26,560
dragon vehicle to

111
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:31,120
the nader port on node two that's where

112
00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:32,880
it's currently planned to go and then

113
00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:35,440
once it's all buttoned up

114
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:37,919
there's about a four hour process where

115
00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:40,960
we do leak checks and then we open up

116
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:42,800
one hatch and there's a little vestibule

117
00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:44,560
area a small volume

118
00:04:50,230 --> 00:04:47,520
and a whole rat's nest of wires and

119
00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:50,240
tubes and hoses and things in this area

120
00:04:53,830 --> 00:04:51,600
and we're going to be connecting up a

121
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:53,840
bunch of those and then

122
00:04:57,670 --> 00:04:55,680
once we have the dragon vehicle all

123
00:05:00,390 --> 00:04:57,680
powered up then we'll open up the

124
00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:00,400
dragon's hatch and hopefully there'll be

125
00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:03,360
a bunch of goodies inside for us usually

126
00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:05,039
resupply vehicles when the when the

127
00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:08,320
russians fly progress vehicle up

128
00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:09,840
they always put a few goodies in there

129
00:05:15,029 --> 00:05:12,240
for us like fresh fruit which we live in

130
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:15,039
this mechanized environment where all

131
00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:16,960
our food comes from a bag

132
00:05:21,270 --> 00:05:18,800
and it's really really nice to get some

133
00:05:23,749 --> 00:05:21,280
fresh fruit and the russians will

134
00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:23,759
provide us fresh fruit on the progress

135
00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:26,880
atv docked here a few weeks ago

136
00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:28,960
and well they weren't able to get any

137
00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:31,360
fresh fruit on there i'm kind of hoping

138
00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:33,120
that dragon will have

139
00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:34,320
at least

140
00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:36,240
some kind of fresh fruit for us

141
00:05:40,870 --> 00:05:38,240
as sort of a little goodie when we open
