00:00:06,260 --> 00:00:03,830
t-minus three minutes and Counting Peter

00:00:08,570 --> 00:00:06,270
- Dion - reporters are running KSC we

3
00:00:11,749 --> 00:00:08,580
are responsible for successfully

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:11,759
launching NASA's spacecraft Cassini was

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:14,490
just such a high bar to set I mean truth

6
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:18,930
we are probably scared to death it was

7
00:00:23,509 --> 00:00:20,880
such an important mission for the agency

8
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:23,519
at the time prior to that we were

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:26,090
launching small toad to medium

10
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:29,490
spacecraft nothing like to see me this

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:32,910
Desai's the physical size the complexity

12
00:00:38,540 --> 00:00:35,250
and the organization that we were at the

13
00:00:41,619 --> 00:00:38,550
time had a lot of change over so we were

14
00:00:44,119 --> 00:00:41,629
young a lot of new relationships a

15
00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:44,129
flagship mission for the agency in the

16
00:00:48,639 --> 00:00:44,520
world

17
00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:48,649
really which is tight and launch control

18
00:00:54,110 --> 00:00:52,320
it just amps up the stressing the the

19
00:00:59,389 --> 00:00:54,120
willingness and the ability to want to

20
00:01:01,939 --> 00:00:59,399
succeed one and liftoff of the Cassini

21
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:01,949
spacecraft on a billion mile trek to

22
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:02,890
Saturn

23
00:01:07,170 --> 00:01:05,650
it was a lot of confidence to know we

24
00:01:09,149 --> 00:01:07,180
could be this successful with this

25
00:01:11,430 --> 00:01:09,159
complex in the mission then we could

26
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:11,440
really do anything not only did we feel

27
00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:13,690
the confidence but the agency gave us

28
00:01:16,859 --> 00:01:15,040
the confidence and showed us the
