they did you're familiar with this yes

37
00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:26,479
prior to today's flight the crew shifted

38
00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:28,799
their sleep schedule always a fun thing

39
00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:31,280
yes waking up late morning and one of

40
00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:33,200
the first things they did was this let's

41
00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:35,119
take a look at some video here they

42
00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:37,280
stuck their sticker on the wall

43
00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:39,680
literally right below crew one sticker

44
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:41,040
there's crew three and then they gave it

45
00:01:44,389 --> 00:01:43,280
a tap slapped it on the wall it's a new

46
00:01:46,069 --> 00:01:44,399
tradition

47
00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:46,079
and shaman i guess you started that

48
00:01:50,469 --> 00:01:48,320
right your crew well yep uh well i

49
00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:50,479
believe demo two is there as well but uh

50

something crews like to do leave their

51
00:01:56,069 --> 00:01:54,000
stickers wherever they are so we put it

52
00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:56,079
on inside crew quarters and then you see

53
00:01:59,910 --> 00:01:58,399
them here they are awaiting breakfast

54
00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:59,920
they looked hungry

55
00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:01,920
food hadn't been served yet nope ready

56
00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:02,880
