00:00:00,850 --> 00:00:01,576
Andy Thomas,/NASA Astronaut: The view we have now is Steve Lindsey, the mission commander, who is donning his

3
00:00:07,390 --> 00:00:09,123
survival gear and harness.

4
00:00:12,260 --> 00:00:15,146
Mike Curie/STS-133 Launch Commentator: First member to enter traditionally is the commander. And astronaut

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:22,706
support person Kay Hire will assist him into his seat, help configure his communications gear.

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:28,600
And here we see astronaut Mike Barrett being prepared for entry into shuttle Discovery.

7
00:00:31,060 --> 00:00:31,216
Pilot Eric Boe, in the White Room. He has a big smile on his face. He looks like he’s pretty excited today.

8
00:00:38,170 --> 00:00:39,536
Chris Meinert/Closeout Crew Member: Yes, he’s very excited today.

9
00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:48,403
Looks like Eric has his comcap in his hand and looks like his harness is on. Kevin Herd is now working with

10
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:54,320
Steve Bowen. I was in the launch with Steve Bowen the last time, on (STS-)132,

11
00:00:55,450 --> 00:00:57,916
so he returns again as a replacement.

12
00:00:58,100 --> 00:00:59,146
Here’s a good shot from the window looking left across the flight deck as he comes up to the seat,

13
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,386
there’s a parachute is laying down on top of the seat at the moment.

14
00:01:09,220 --> 00:01:09,550
Mike Curie/STS-133 Launch Commentator: See Nicole Stott in the foreground of this shot.

15
00:01:14,690 --> 00:01:14,870
The entire flight crew is aboard Discovery. The Closeout Crew is making final preparations

16
00:01:20,510 --> 00:01:24,643
before they will close the hatch and close out the White Room.

17
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,786
There are no major technical issues that are being worked.

18
00:01:37,810 --> 00:01:43,410
The external tank looks clean according to the Final Inspection Team. Weather is go.

19
00:01:44,410 --> 00:01:44,870
And it looks like our hatch is closed. Bobby and René have got the hatch closed.
