1
00:00:04,390 --> 00:00:02,470
this is mission control houston we want

2
00:00:05,910 --> 00:00:04,400
to show you a picture of the roses that

3
00:00:08,629 --> 00:00:05,920
are here inside the flight control room

4
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:08,639
of course this tradition continues

5
00:00:12,470 --> 00:00:09,920
this is something that was started by

6
00:00:15,430 --> 00:00:12,480
the shelton family here in texas back

7
00:00:16,470 --> 00:00:15,440
decades ago it was during sts 26 which

8
00:00:18,150 --> 00:00:16,480
was the first

9
00:00:20,150 --> 00:00:18,160
flight after challenger that is a

10
00:00:22,310 --> 00:00:20,160
mission that discovery flew

11
00:00:23,429 --> 00:00:22,320
and ever since then uh this family has

12
00:00:24,790 --> 00:00:23,439
sent us

13
00:00:25,990 --> 00:00:24,800
these roses here in mission control

14
00:00:27,429 --> 00:00:26,000
during every single shuttle mission

15
00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:27,439
since that time

16
00:00:31,750 --> 00:00:30,240
and they have continued this tradition

17
00:00:33,110 --> 00:00:31,760
during these expeditions that launch up

18
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:33,120
to the space station which of course it

19
00:00:36,470 --> 00:00:34,960
means a lot to the team here

20
00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:36,480
in houston

21
00:00:40,069 --> 00:00:38,160
we're big on tradition here

22
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:40,079
at nasa and we are very happy that this

23
00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:41,760
tradition continues what you see there

24
00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:44,480

25
00:00:48,229 --> 00:00:46,320

swanson

28
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:52,160
there is always one white rose on these

29
00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:53,760
bouquet of flowers that represents all

30
00:00:57,189 --> 00:00:55,199
those that have lost their lives in the

31
00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:57,199
pursuit of human space flight

32
00:01:02,229 --> 00:00:59,760
so the crews of challenger and colombia

33
00:01:04,229 --> 00:01:02,239
and apollo 1 and everyone else are

34
00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:04,239
remembered each and every time these

35
00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:06,479
bouquets arrive here in mission control

36
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:08,000
so as always we

37
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:10,000
