1
00:00:08,780 --> 00:00:07,700
when I first came into the astronaut

2
00:00:16,270 --> 00:00:08,790
program was right around the time

3
00:00:22,210 --> 00:00:19,660
I got into the program in a decade later

4
00:00:25,150 --> 00:00:22,220
amazingly enough had a chance to fly on

5
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:25,160
endeavour and to ride endeavour up to

6
00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:27,710
the International Space Station and to

7
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:30,080
put on a big white suit and open the

8
00:00:33,790 --> 00:00:31,730
belly of endeavor and actually climb

9
00:00:35,710 --> 00:00:33,800
outside and crawl around the outside of

10
00:00:37,870 --> 00:00:35,720
that spaceship as it was docked to the

11
00:00:39,460 --> 00:00:37,880
space station in orbit building things

12
00:00:42,729 --> 00:00:39,470
on to the International Space Station

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:42,739
and then ride endeavour home and not

14
00:00:45,940 --> 00:00:44,210
back to florida we had bad weather in

15
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:45,950
Florida but where I'd been a test pilot

16
00:00:50,020 --> 00:00:48,170
student where I'd watched my very first

17
00:00:52,869 --> 00:00:50,030
shuttle landings back on the return to

18
00:00:54,729 --> 00:00:52,879
flight after challenger we landed

19
00:00:57,070 --> 00:00:54,739
endeavour out in the desert at Edwards

20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:00:57,080
sort of almost like a complete circle of

21
00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:07,160
my flight there were three rookies and

22
00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:10,390
so it's the flight that was equivalent

23
00:01:14,969 --> 00:01:12,550
or more challenging than a Hubble flight

24
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:14,979
and we had three rookies and our

25
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:17,410
commander had flown once and so we were

26
00:01:24,450 --> 00:01:19,330
like I can't believe dad gave us the

27
00:01:28,260 --> 00:01:24,460
keys to the shuttle dude so it's a it's

28
00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:28,270
a privilege to fly with an as an

29
00:01:32,010 --> 00:01:29,680
inexperienced crew member with an

30
00:01:33,660 --> 00:01:32,020
experienced crew on a mission that would

31
00:01:35,810 --> 00:01:33,670
have made the mission planners from

32
00:01:38,070 --> 00:01:35,820
seven years previous just blanche to

33
00:01:45,130 --> 00:01:38,080
contemplate even with an experienced
