00:18:09,780 studied the problem with only minutes to 581 00:18:09,780 --> 00:18:12,190 studied the problem with only minutes to decide to continue the rendezvous or 582 00:18:12,190 --> 00:18:12,200 decide to continue the rendezvous or 583 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,190 decide to continue the rendezvous or delay for one orbit another option was 584 00:18:16,190 --> 00:18:16,200 delay for one orbit another option was 585 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,620 delay for one orbit another option was to skip today's attempt and study the 586 00:18:18,620 --> 00:18:18,630 to skip today's attempt and study the 587 00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:30,560 to skip today's attempt and study the problem for another day or should they 588 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:30,570 problem for another day or should they 589 00:18:30,570 --> 00:18:32,960 problem for another day or should they try it without the onboard computer and 590 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:32,970 try it without the onboard computer and 591 00:18:32,970 --> 00:18:35,300 try it without the onboard computer and attempt a ground controlled approach to 592 00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:35,310 attempt a ground controlled approach to 593 00:18:35,310 -->

trip home the next day it was a day for reflection as the crew held a news 822 00:26:35,110 --> 00:26:35,120 reflection as the crew held a news 823 00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:37,930 reflection as the crew held a news conference from the orbiter we were 824 00:26:37,930 --> 00:26:37,940 conference from the orbiter we were 825 00:26:37,940 --> 00:26:39,580 conference from the orbiter we were speculating how many people were 826 00:26:39,580 --> 00:26:39,590 speculating how many people were 827 00:26:39,590 --> 00:26:54,160 speculating how many people were involved we knew it was a lot worked and 828 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:54,170 involved we knew it was a lot worked and 829 00:26:54,170 --> 00:26:57,610 involved we knew it was a lot worked and came up fine to some of our ideas with 830 00:26:57,610 --> 00:26:57,620 came up fine to some of our ideas with 831 00:26:57,620 --> 00:27:07,900 came up fine to some of our ideas with theirs and NASA has a great team with 832 00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:07,910 theirs and NASA has a great team with 833 00:27:07,910 --> 00:27:10,600 theirs and NASA has a great team with the mission objectives behind them the 834 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:10,610 the mission objectives behind them the 835 00:27:10,610 --> 00:27:16,950 the mission objectives behind them the crew prepared the orbiter for reentry in 836 00:27:16,950 --> 00:27:16,960 crew prepared the orbiter for reentry in 837 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,390 crew prepared the orbiter for reentry in Debra Houston you have a go for the 838 00:27:19,390 --> 00:27:19,400 Debra Houston you have a go for the 839 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:36,639 Debra Houston you have a go for the deorbit burn 840 00:27:36,639 --> 00:27:36,649 841 00:27:36,649 --> 00:27:39,289 but before putting this mission in the 842 00:27:39,289 --> 00:27:39,299 but before putting this mission in the 843 00:27:39,299 --> 00:27:46,220 but before putting this mission in the books endeavour had one more test after 844 00:27:46,220 --> 00:27:46,230 books endeavour had one more test after 845 00:27:46,230 --> 00:27:48,349 books endeavour had one more test after touchdown at Edwards Air Force Base in 846 00:27:48,349 --> 00:27:48,359 touchdown at Edwards Air Force Base in 847 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,409 touchdown at Edwards Air Force Base in California a drag chute was deployed 848 00:27:51,409 --> 00:27:51,419 California a drag chute was deployed 849 00:27:51,419 --> 00:27:54,440 California a drag chute was deployed from the back of the orbiter Engineers 850 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:54,450 from the back of the orbiter Engineers 851 00:27:54,450 --> 00:27:56,869 from the back of the orbiter Engineers designed the chute to improve braking 852 00:27:56,869 --> 00:27:56,879 designed the chute to improve braking 853 00:27:56,879 --> 00:27:59,979 designed the chute to improve braking and steering control during landings 854 00:27:59,979 --> 00:27:59,989 and steering control during landings 855 00:27:59,989 --> 00:28:03,169 and steering control during landings long after endeavour has been rolled off 856 00:28:03,169 --> 00:28:03,179 long after endeavour has been rolled off 857 00:28:03,179 --> 00:28:05,239 long after endeavour has been rolled off the runway in preparation for another 858 00:28:05,239 --> 00:28:05,249 the runway in preparation for another 859 00:28:05,249 --> 00:28:08,359 the runway in preparation for another mission planners and engineers will use 860 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:08,369 mission planners and engineers will use 861 00:28:08,369 --> 00:28:10,940 mission planners and engineers will use the information and knowledge gained on 862 00:28:10,940 --> 00:28:10,950 the information and knowledge gained on 863 00:28:10,950 --> 00:28:15,919 the information and knowledge gained on this flight to improve future flights in 864 00:28:15,919 --> 00:28:15,929 this flight to improve future flights in 865 00:28:15,929 --> 00:28:19,190 this flight to improve future flights in hindsight most agree the reasons for 866 00:28:19,190 --> 00:28:19,200 hindsight most agree the reasons for 867 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,779 hindsight most agree the reasons for mission success were clear despite the 868 00:28:23,779 --> 00:28:23,789 mission success were clear despite the 869 00:28:23,789 --> 00:28:26,269 mission success were clear despite the problems often associated with a maiden 870 00:28:26,269 --> 00:28:26,279 problems often associated with a maiden 871 00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:31,940 problems often associated with a maiden voyage endeavour performed flawlessly we 872 00:28:31,940 --> 00:28:31,950 voyage endeavour performed flawlessly we 873 00:28:31,950 --> 00:28:33,499 voyage endeavour performed flawlessly we felt pretty good about the mission that 874 00:28:33,499 --> 00:28:33,509 felt pretty good about the mission that 875 00:28:33,509 --> 00:28:36,349 felt pretty good about the mission that real interesting and challenging and and 876 00:28:36,349 --> 00:28:36,359 real interesting and challenging and and 877 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,239 real interesting and challenging and and we're real happy with the way endeavour 878 00:28:38,239 --> 00:28:38,249 we're real happy with the way endeavour 879 00:28:38,249 --> 00:28:40,489 we're real happy with the way endeavour performed it performed like a real champ 880 00:28:40,489 --> 00:28:40,499 performed it performed like a real champ 881 00:28:40,499 --> 00:28:41,989 performed it performed like a real champ which is phenomenal for the first five 882 00:28:41,989 --> 00:28:41,999 which is phenomenal for the first five 883 00:28:41,999 --> 00:28:45,139 which is phenomenal for the first five new vehicle perhaps the simplest 884 00:28:45,139 --> 00:28:45,149 new vehicle perhaps the simplest 885 00:28:45,149 --> 00:28:48,109 new vehicle perhaps the simplest explanation for this mission success is 886 00:28:48,109 --> 00:28:48,119 explanation for this mission success is 887 00:28:48,119 --> 00:28:52,099 explanation for this mission success is the team effort the ability to adapt and 888 00:28:52,099 --> 00:28:52,109 the team effort the ability to adapt and 889 00:28:52,109 --> 00:28:54,580 the team effort the ability to adapt and learn in the face of adversity 890 00:28:54,580 --> 00:28:54,590 learn in the face of adversity 891 00:28:54,590 --> 00:28:57,440 learn in the face of adversity demonstrated by both the crew and ground 892 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:57,450 demonstrated by both the crew and ground 893 00:28:57,450 --> 00:29:02,029 demonstrated by both the crew and ground staff proof that people are a vital link 894 00:29:02,029 --> 00:29:02,039 staff proof that people are a vital link 895 00:29:02,039 --> 00:29:05,509 staff proof that people are a vital link in the American space program now and 896 00:29:05,509 --> 00:29:05,519 in the American space program now and 897 00:29:05,519 --> 00:29:55,090 in the American space program now and into the 21st century 898 00:29:55,090 --> 00:29:55,100 899 00:29:55,100 --> 00:29:57,160 you
