1
00:00:40,869 --> 00:00:39,590
the dogs have their

2
00:00:42,389 --> 00:00:40,879
their famous

3
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:42,399
dog movie

4
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:43,840
which we're which we're going to show

5
00:00:46,709 --> 00:00:44,800
you now

6
00:00:49,510 --> 00:00:46,719
and we will

7
00:00:51,270 --> 00:00:49,520
we will narrate it

8
00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:51,280
for you as as it goes through and then

9
00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:53,280
we'll show you some slides talk a little

10
00:00:59,830 --> 00:00:56,160
bit about the mission and uh invite you

11
00:01:01,910 --> 00:00:59,840
to share with us uh as best as best as

12
00:01:04,229 --> 00:01:01,920
it can be done through the medium of of

13
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:04,239
the film and and the slides uh the

14
00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:05,760
terrific experience that you made

15
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:08,159
possible because the people in this room

16
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:10,000
and and a lot of them who aren't here of

17
00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:11,040
course because they're doing other

18
00:01:16,469 --> 00:01:14,080
things are the people who deserve the

19
00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:16,479
credit for this

20
00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:19,040
and many other successful space flights

21
00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:19,920
and

22
00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:20,960
we

23
00:01:27,190 --> 00:01:25,040
as part of a team i'm really proud and

24
00:01:28,870 --> 00:01:27,200
pleased to have some of that team here

25
00:01:30,149 --> 00:01:28,880
and i know that you all are going to do

26
00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:30,159
terrific work

27
00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:31,360
henceforth

28
00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:33,600
for the rest of the folks and and for

29
00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:36,079
the rest of the missions coming up

30
00:01:40,149 --> 00:01:38,079
with that i think we can we can roll the

31
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:40,159
movie

32
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:43,280
and probably bring down the house lights

33
00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:50,230
there's our patch it was a challenge to

34
00:01:54,069 --> 00:01:51,600
come up with a good patch for this

35
00:01:57,429 --> 00:01:54,079
mission but we if we think we did and

36
00:01:58,950 --> 00:01:57,439
now a quick view of our suit up process

37
00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:58,960
you saw me there and there's there's

38
00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:01,439
cujo ken cockrell

39
00:02:10,469 --> 00:02:06,830
that's probably

40
00:02:12,229 --> 00:02:10,479
underdog and there of course is pluto

41
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:12,239
and last but not least my payload

42
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:14,640
commander dog face

43
00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:16,480
we were happy to be going flying as you

44
00:02:20,470 --> 00:02:18,400
know we had a few little

45
00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:20,480
bumps in the road getting there

46
00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:22,640
but finally walking out to a resounding

47
00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:24,480
chorus of wolves at the kennedy space

48
00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:30,470
the training team might be pleased to

49
00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:37,750
the time engine's uh starting up and the

50
00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:39,360
vehicle twanging forward on the launch

51
00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:40,400
pad and

52
00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:41,680
five screaming

53
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,710
sort of young anyway

54
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:50,550
we had some interesting atmospheric

55
00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:52,160
conditions that weren't really evident

56
00:02:56,470 --> 00:02:53,840
to us as we were going uphill but they

57
00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:56,480
did create some good flow visualization

58
00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:58,480
of the mock waves on

59
00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:59,280
uh

60
00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:01,280
the rough parts of the the shape of the

61
00:03:05,589 --> 00:03:03,280
vehicle around the booster nozzle or the

62
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:05,599
booster cones and

63
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:08,000
and just above the cabin uh creates some

64
00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:09,360
shock waves as we're going through mach

65
00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:12,879
1 and going past the speed of sound

66
00:03:16,869 --> 00:03:15,040
this is kind of a rough part of the ride

67
00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:16,879
very exciting the boosters let you know

68
00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:18,560
for sure that there's a lot of thrust

69
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:20,560
back there when they separate the ride

70
00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:22,560
smooths out a bunch

71
00:03:25,509 --> 00:03:24,480
but it's only just part way beginning in

72
00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:25,519
fact

73
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:27,920
there's six and a half more minutes of

74
00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:29,519
powered flight to go

75
00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:31,920
and lots more that can happen

76
00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:33,599
as the training team would be glad to

77
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:34,959
share with you

78
00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:41,030
once we get on orbit we have a lot of

79
00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:42,319
things we had to do and we had a

80
00:03:45,910 --> 00:03:43,599
tremendous number of things to get out

81
00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:45,920
and get ready for our flight dave and

82
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:47,200
cujo

83
00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:49,360
were up on the flight deck reconfiguring

84
00:03:52,390 --> 00:03:50,560
the

85
00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:52,400
digital processing system and getting

86
00:03:56,149 --> 00:03:54,560
the orbiter ready for orbit operations

87
00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:56,159
and underdog was downstairs looking for

88
00:04:03,270 --> 00:04:00,869
uh jim was reconfiguring uh getting

89
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:03,280
things set up this was the ergometer we

90
00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:04,560
had a lot of things to get out put in

91
00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:06,159
place take out of the lockers and get

92
00:04:10,470 --> 00:04:08,480
ready for our orbit operations before

93
00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:10,480
the next day when we started our primary

94
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:12,959
payload ops

95
00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:15,599
this is the uh our first major payload

96
00:04:20,229 --> 00:04:17,759
of the of the mission the spartan it's a

97
00:04:21,909 --> 00:04:20,239
solar science satellite uh aimed at

98
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:21,919
studying the solar wind and ultimately

99
00:04:25,830 --> 00:04:24,000
its effects on satellite communications

100
00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:25,840
and weather on earth here

101
00:04:30,070 --> 00:04:28,000
uh it was a great satellite it was all

102
00:04:32,629 --> 00:04:30,080
uh autonomous so all we had to do was

103
00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:32,639
unbirth it and uh turn it loose and then

104
00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:34,000
it went off and

105
00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:35,600
flew around did its thing for a couple

106
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:37,919
of days um you'll see a little bit later

107
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:39,520
it actually shut down

108
00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:40,960
a little bit early as it turns out we

109
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:42,800
got 95 percent of the science done

110
00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:44,000
though

111
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:45,040
and that's

112
00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:47,840
at the aft flight deck window

113
00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:49,919
during the release process

114
00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:51,919
uh it did a little pirouette where it

115
00:04:55,270 --> 00:04:53,440
rotates uh clockwise and

116
00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:55,280
counterclockwise to signal that

117
00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:56,960
everything is okay

118
00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:58,000
and

119
00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:59,440
it's really beautiful to see the thing

120
00:05:03,189 --> 00:05:01,120
as we separated from it and to look back

121
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:03,199
down at the earth and see this little

122
00:05:10,629 --> 00:05:08,150
a great site

123
00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:10,639
i might mention that thanks to excellent

124
00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:12,320
training among other things underdog did

125
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:15,520
a perfect job of deploying the spartan

126
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:16,960
we had a lot of secondary experiments

127
00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:18,400
that we did while the spartan was out

128
00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:20,320
one of them was the commercial generic

129
00:05:24,710 --> 00:05:22,960
bioprocessing apparatus it's a large

130
00:05:26,390 --> 00:05:24,720
tube filled with a bunch of small test

131
00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:26,400
tubes that have different experiments in

132
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:29,120
them you turn the crank to activate the

133
00:05:32,870 --> 00:05:30,800
uh each tube

134
00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:32,880
and then later we turn the crank to fix

135
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:34,320
the things that have done their thing in

136
00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:37,280
zero g then they're all brought back to

137
00:05:41,110 --> 00:05:39,360
evaluate the effects of zero g on all

138
00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:41,120
these different experiments

139
00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:43,280
this is a mass measurement device it

140
00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:45,600
uses a linear acceleration that at times

141
00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:47,120
to figure out how much something weighs

142
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:48,240
on orbit

143
00:05:53,590 --> 00:05:50,160
it's kind of like getting the miniature

144
00:05:56,950 --> 00:05:53,600
cat shot so a couple of navy guys here

145
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,469
here's one of our more interesting

146
00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:02,070
one of our more interesting experiments

147
00:06:06,309 --> 00:06:04,319
the training team remembers vividly me

148
00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:06,319
going around seeking victims for this

149
00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:08,720
while we were practicing prior to flight

150
00:06:11,990 --> 00:06:10,240
but it actually

151
00:06:13,510 --> 00:06:12,000
is a

152
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:13,520
a way to test

153
00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:15,919
blood on on orbit or any place in a

154
00:06:19,029 --> 00:06:17,440
field situation

155
00:06:21,909 --> 00:06:19,039
with this portable clinical blood

156
00:06:23,749 --> 00:06:21,919
analyzer nifty little gadget

157
00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:23,759
in the training for it was actually kind

158
00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:25,360
of tricky because

159
00:06:30,309 --> 00:06:27,600
there's a lot more to taking blood than

160
00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:30,319
one realizes and we were able to do it

161
00:06:38,870 --> 00:06:32,080
pretty well on orbit although some pain

162
00:06:42,230 --> 00:06:40,469
yeah this is the spartan rendezvous

163
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:42,240
we're returning to pick up

164
00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:44,240
the spacecraft and

165
00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:46,720
it was as we mentioned earlier a perfect

166
00:06:51,029 --> 00:06:49,280
deploy the laundry itself wasn't nominal

167
00:06:53,749 --> 00:06:51,039
let me let the underdog talk about the

168
00:06:58,870 --> 00:06:56,790
basically uh things went uh real well um

169
00:07:00,550 --> 00:06:58,880
it was spin a little bit and uh between

170
00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:00,560
the training that we'd had and then the

171
00:07:04,469 --> 00:07:02,880
incredibly uh proficient teamwork

172
00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:04,479
amongst the whole crew we did the fly

173
00:07:11,029 --> 00:07:07,039
around and did a a rate uh track and

174
00:07:12,469 --> 00:07:11,039
capture uh very successfully and and uh

175
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:12,479
i was real proud to be part of the team

176
00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:14,400
on that one

177
00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:16,240
this is the birthing of the spartan

178
00:07:19,589 --> 00:07:17,039
which

179
00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:19,599
went pretty much like we expected and uh

180
00:07:23,350 --> 00:07:21,680
after that exciting uh rendezvous

181
00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:23,360
grapple we're real happy to get that

182
00:07:27,749 --> 00:07:24,880
that sucker

183
00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:27,759
clamped down in the payload bay

184
00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:29,280
this is a view back florida in the

185
00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:30,720
background and the

186
00:07:34,550 --> 00:07:32,800
bahama islands andros island

187
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:34,560
particularly in the center center of the

188
00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:37,280
screen and just to the lower right of

189
00:07:41,830 --> 00:07:39,120
that is the deep dark blue is the tongue

190
00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:44,469
a very spectacular views passing over

191
00:07:48,710 --> 00:07:46,720
the bahamas in florida with the spartan

192
00:07:50,710 --> 00:07:48,720
uh back in the bay

193
00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:50,720
it perfectly blocked our direct viewing

194
00:07:54,469 --> 00:07:52,400
of the weight shield so we had to pull

195
00:07:56,150 --> 00:07:54,479
the wake shield up

196
00:07:57,589 --> 00:07:56,160
from behind the spartan

197
00:07:58,950 --> 00:07:57,599
and then

198
00:08:00,390 --> 00:07:58,960
it's going to grow some semi it was

199
00:08:02,869 --> 00:08:00,400
planned to grow some semiconductors so

200
00:08:05,510 --> 00:08:02,879
we took it off to one side into the ram

201
00:08:08,309 --> 00:08:05,520
in order to clean the very clean side of

202
00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:08,319
it the uh the wake side and use the

203
00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:10,080
atomic oxygen in low earth orbit to

204
00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:11,759
clean it then we moved it over to the

205
00:08:16,390 --> 00:08:13,759
other side in order to test out the

206
00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:16,400
attitude control system

207
00:08:20,869 --> 00:08:18,240
after getting through that

208
00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:20,879
mike running the systems and me running

209
00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:22,960
the arm at that point we brought it up

210
00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:25,360
to the overhead deploy position in order

211
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:27,440
to do a gravity gradient deploy for

212
00:08:30,950 --> 00:08:28,560
which one of the awards was given

213
00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:30,960
earlier the we didn't touch the the

214
00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:32,640
attitude control system on the orbiter

215
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:35,120
for about five hours prior to deploy and

216
00:08:39,430 --> 00:08:37,360
then for a few hours after that as well

217
00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:39,440
the arm is now clear of the wake shield

218
00:08:45,030 --> 00:08:42,000
it turns on a two ounce nitrogen gas

219
00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:45,040
thruster and it thrusts away from the

220
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:47,120
shuttle in order to maintain that very

221
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:48,080
clean

222
00:08:53,430 --> 00:08:51,040
environment which we had set up

223
00:08:55,110 --> 00:08:53,440
we were able to track it using the laser

224
00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:55,120
out to about fifteen thousand feet and

225
00:08:59,910 --> 00:08:57,120
dog face holds the record for that

226
00:09:02,710 --> 00:08:59,920
this is the wake shield science center

227
00:09:07,269 --> 00:09:02,720
and we had two computers which we used

228
00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:08,949
here's a little work on the mid-deck uh

229
00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:10,480
jim rowling and mike working with a

230
00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:12,320
secondary experiment yeah this was the

231
00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:14,160
c-mix experiment and it was always a

232
00:09:17,829 --> 00:09:15,760
great challenge to uh

233
00:09:19,269 --> 00:09:17,839
hunt down these uh test tubes that kept

234
00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:19,279
coming loose because the velcro didn't

235
00:09:22,310 --> 00:09:20,480
work well but

236
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:22,320
the science was really was really great

237
00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:24,240
one of the things that we worked on was

238
00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:27,120
a crystal that could result in a drug

239
00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:28,720
that could prevent the spread of breast

240
00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:30,240
cancer and

241
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:32,080
so we're real real happy to be working

242
00:09:36,389 --> 00:09:34,240
on that

243
00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:36,399
we did get to exercise a fair amount on

244
00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:39,040
this flight and when you don't have

245
00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:40,800
gravity to constrain you can ride your

246
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:50,710
dave is uh studying a little bit on the

247
00:09:53,910 --> 00:09:52,160
middeck there and as we're going to pan

248
00:09:55,509 --> 00:09:53,920
around and take a quick look at part of

249
00:09:58,070 --> 00:09:55,519
the orbiter wide web this is the mid

250
00:10:00,230 --> 00:09:58,080
deck implementation that's the the

251
00:10:02,150 --> 00:10:00,240
global positioning satellite pgsc on the

252
00:10:04,069 --> 00:10:02,160
right the computer that allowed us to

253
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:04,079
tell where we were quite accurately

254
00:10:09,829 --> 00:10:06,880
using the onboard gps receivers to the

255
00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:09,839
left is the goddard pgsc which allowed

256
00:10:15,269 --> 00:10:12,640
us to command the goddard payloads

257
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:15,279
now it's time to bring back wake shield

258
00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:17,360
uh more more realistically to go and get

259
00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:18,800
it this is the view out of the

260
00:10:22,949 --> 00:10:20,480
commander's window

261
00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:22,959
the overhead window window nine

262
00:10:27,590 --> 00:10:25,120
you can see the gun side appearance of

263
00:10:29,910 --> 00:10:27,600
the coast there and the

264
00:10:32,230 --> 00:10:29,920
wake shield itself out in the

265
00:10:34,150 --> 00:10:32,240
out in the ether we could always see it

266
00:10:36,310 --> 00:10:34,160
even though we were 30 miles away at

267
00:10:37,990 --> 00:10:36,320
times it's shown like a bright star it

268
00:10:40,949 --> 00:10:38,000
was very very visible

269
00:10:43,030 --> 00:10:40,959
and we because the spartan rendezvous

270
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:43,040
had been a bit challenging in some parts

271
00:10:47,030 --> 00:10:44,560
particularly the prox ops were very

272
00:10:48,949 --> 00:10:47,040
confident and comfortable again due to a

273
00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:48,959
lot of good training and simulation and

274
00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:50,880
the fact that the flight control team

275
00:10:53,829 --> 00:10:52,800
had worked very closely with us setting

276
00:10:55,590 --> 00:10:53,839
this up

277
00:10:58,150 --> 00:10:55,600
so the rendezvous and the prox ops went

278
00:11:00,230 --> 00:10:58,160
very nominally

279
00:11:02,949 --> 00:11:00,240
unlike some of the wake shield science

280
00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:02,959
operations and we got

281
00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:06,240
into close proximity

282
00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:07,839
it's really a beautiful satellite we

283
00:11:11,590 --> 00:11:09,600
have some we have a gorgeous view coming

284
00:11:13,430 --> 00:11:11,600
up here shortly i think the sun was

285
00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:13,440
eclipsed there by the wake shield that

286
00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:16,320
has just come out right before sunset

287
00:11:20,230 --> 00:11:18,000
the the free flight of the wake shield

288
00:11:22,310 --> 00:11:20,240
was challenging and we gave awards out

289
00:11:24,389 --> 00:11:22,320
for that today we're very

290
00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:24,399
proud to to have that help it really

291
00:11:27,350 --> 00:11:25,680
made a difference in the entire

292
00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:27,360
operation of the wake shield from

293
00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:29,680
beginning to end there were challenges

294
00:11:32,630 --> 00:11:30,720
at every

295
00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:32,640
step of the way but we're confident with

296
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:34,160
their help that they'll be able to take

297
00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:35,760
that information back to the wake shield

298
00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:38,800
program and help them get a really good

299
00:11:41,670 --> 00:11:40,560
flight on their next flight way shield

300
00:11:43,750 --> 00:11:41,680
three

301
00:11:45,829 --> 00:11:43,760
we did grapple the weight shield we did

302
00:11:46,870 --> 00:11:45,839
another day's worth of experimentation

303
00:11:48,630 --> 00:11:46,880
with it

304
00:11:50,550 --> 00:11:48,640
looking at the charging

305
00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:50,560
of the wake shield in order to help

306
00:11:54,230 --> 00:11:52,800
assess the impact of charging of

307
00:11:55,190 --> 00:11:54,240
spacecraft

308
00:11:56,790 --> 00:11:55,200
in that

309
00:11:58,150 --> 00:11:56,800
environment

310
00:12:00,230 --> 00:11:58,160
well of course while you're in orbit you

311
00:12:02,550 --> 00:12:00,240
have to eat and we're provided with this

312
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:02,560
uh galley arrangement here that lets you

313
00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:05,360
rehydrate dehydrated food and also warm

314
00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:07,600
it up if it needs warming up and here i

315
00:12:12,310 --> 00:12:09,120
am i must be fixing some food for

316
00:12:16,550 --> 00:12:12,320
underdog and

317
00:12:20,550 --> 00:12:18,230
mike spends a lot of time contemplating

318
00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:20,560
what he's going to do and this is some

319
00:12:24,069 --> 00:12:22,000
cream of mushroom soup and i think it's

320
00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:24,079
really very good but it took a while to

321
00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:25,760
decide that he was actually going to eat

322
00:12:32,790 --> 00:12:30,550
this is getting ready for the eva

323
00:12:34,389 --> 00:12:32,800
preparing our helmets with some anti-fog

324
00:12:36,870 --> 00:12:34,399
a lot of equipment that we had to get

325
00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:36,880
ready for it we spent six to eight hours

326
00:12:40,550 --> 00:12:38,639
getting all of our equipment and tools

327
00:12:42,629 --> 00:12:40,560
ready to go outside

328
00:12:45,350 --> 00:12:42,639
here we are preparing some of the tools

329
00:12:47,590 --> 00:12:45,360
the rigid tether in my hands

330
00:12:49,030 --> 00:12:47,600
and jim newman had

331
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:49,040
a hope that mike shoulder wouldn't get

332
00:12:52,389 --> 00:12:50,560
better and he'd get the opportunity to

333
00:13:01,190 --> 00:12:52,399
go outside

334
00:13:04,470 --> 00:13:03,030
if there's any chance of him doing it he

335
00:13:05,670 --> 00:13:04,480
just lasted when we shoved him under

336
00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:05,680
there because we banged him right into

337
00:13:15,030 --> 00:13:10,310
this is a shot in the airlock with mike

338
00:13:19,030 --> 00:13:16,870
we spent about 40 minutes pre-breathing

339
00:13:21,269 --> 00:13:19,040
in there and here cujo is closing the

340
00:13:27,350 --> 00:13:21,279
door on us shutting up the hatch and

341
00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:30,069
here's mike headed out the door

342
00:13:35,670 --> 00:13:31,360
now we didn't know if it even had an

343
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:35,680
automatic closing thermal cover

344
00:13:40,710 --> 00:13:38,160
one of the first things we did was

345
00:13:42,870 --> 00:13:40,720
remove a debris shield from a task board

346
00:13:45,350 --> 00:13:42,880
and you see that right here

347
00:13:47,030 --> 00:13:45,360
really all of the tasks we did work

348
00:13:49,189 --> 00:13:47,040
excellent and

349
00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:49,199
as a sort of a midterm exam of where

350
00:13:52,629 --> 00:13:50,639
we're headed for space station i think

351
00:13:54,550 --> 00:13:52,639
we're in really good shape we were

352
00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:54,560
pleasantly surprised by essentially

353
00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:56,320
everything that that we did

354
00:13:59,350 --> 00:13:57,440
there's a

355
00:14:01,030 --> 00:13:59,360
shot of me maneuvering the debris shield

356
00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:01,040
and we tied that off on that forward

357
00:14:05,030 --> 00:14:03,120
bulkhead there were two major objectives

358
00:14:07,110 --> 00:14:05,040
to the eva one was testing tools and

359
00:14:09,189 --> 00:14:07,120
procedures for space station all of

360
00:14:10,949 --> 00:14:09,199
those worked extremely well

361
00:14:12,790 --> 00:14:10,959
and the other was the

362
00:14:14,629 --> 00:14:12,800
thermal environment for the suit testing

363
00:14:16,870 --> 00:14:14,639
modifications to the suit and seeing if

364
00:14:19,189 --> 00:14:16,880
they were here i have the rigid tether

365
00:14:21,590 --> 00:14:19,199
on with a

366
00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:21,600
pfr attached to the inner portable foot

367
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:23,760
restraint a large mass it was a pretty

368
00:14:27,990 --> 00:14:26,000
awkward uh arrangement that we had to

369
00:14:30,150 --> 00:14:28,000
then put behind us to translate down the

370
00:14:32,069 --> 00:14:30,160
silt and here mike is he's very

371
00:14:34,230 --> 00:14:32,079
stationary if you look just to his the

372
00:14:36,150 --> 00:14:34,240
left of his elbow you see the body

373
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:36,160
restraint tether which is a device used

374
00:14:39,910 --> 00:14:37,920
to hold you in place in orbit and it

375
00:14:41,189 --> 00:14:39,920
worked very well holding held you very

376
00:14:43,509 --> 00:14:41,199
rigid

377
00:14:45,750 --> 00:14:43,519
this is uh during the thermal eval and

378
00:14:47,509 --> 00:14:45,760
we had the opportunity to spend 45

379
00:14:49,269 --> 00:14:47,519
minutes hanging upside down on the arm

380
00:14:51,189 --> 00:14:49,279
and i can tell you the view is just

381
00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:51,199
exceptional and

382
00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:52,320
that's probably the last chance we'll

383
00:14:56,790 --> 00:14:54,480
have to actually spend 45 minutes doing

384
00:14:59,430 --> 00:14:56,800
nothing but observing moving the guys

385
00:15:01,110 --> 00:14:59,440
around on the end of the arm was a was

386
00:15:02,550 --> 00:15:01,120
was kind of fun actually if i found if i

387
00:15:05,910 --> 00:15:02,560
moved him quick enough i could shake him

388
00:15:11,269 --> 00:15:09,350
which he did a couple of times

389
00:15:12,550 --> 00:15:11,279
it was a great view and the eva went

390
00:15:14,069 --> 00:15:12,560
very well when we were done we had to

391
00:15:16,150 --> 00:15:14,079
clean up all the mess we made out in the

392
00:15:17,670 --> 00:15:16,160
payload bay we had to pack up mike was

393
00:15:19,750 --> 00:15:17,680
taking off one of the thermal cubes to

394
00:15:21,189 --> 00:15:19,760
measure the thermal environment and the

395
00:15:23,269 --> 00:15:21,199
sack i have in my hand has all of our

396
00:15:24,629 --> 00:15:23,279
tools it was a great tool bag and we

397
00:15:27,269 --> 00:15:24,639
carried that back to the airlock for

398
00:15:29,030 --> 00:15:27,279
putting everything away

399
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:29,040
we were out for about six and a half

400
00:15:32,710 --> 00:15:31,040
hours and accomplished all the major

401
00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:32,720
objectives for the eva

402
00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:34,880
it went besides being a great experience

403
00:15:43,430 --> 00:15:41,829
and this is the final stages of ingress

404
00:15:46,069 --> 00:15:43,440
uh it was uh

405
00:15:46,949 --> 00:15:46,079
a great experience and um

406
00:15:48,949 --> 00:15:46,959
uh

407
00:15:50,790 --> 00:15:48,959
i think we're in good shape to to do the

408
00:15:53,269 --> 00:15:50,800
station this is back in the airlock and

409
00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:53,279
buttoning things up to come home

410
00:15:57,430 --> 00:15:54,720
had to put everything away after we got

411
00:15:58,870 --> 00:15:57,440
back inside clean up the suits and

412
00:16:05,030 --> 00:15:58,880
for the possibility of having to reuse

413
00:16:08,150 --> 00:16:06,310
one of the good things you can do when

414
00:16:09,189 --> 00:16:08,160
you have people in space is to look out

415
00:16:11,110 --> 00:16:09,199
the window

416
00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:11,120
and use your mind to figure out what's a

417
00:16:14,230 --> 00:16:12,480
good thing you could take a picture of

418
00:16:16,230 --> 00:16:14,240
and what might help geologists

419
00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:16,240
meteorologists and

420
00:16:20,629 --> 00:16:18,320
all kinds of scientists on the ground in

421
00:16:23,110 --> 00:16:20,639
their study of the earth this is the tip

422
00:16:25,030 --> 00:16:23,120
of somalia and one of the single

423
00:16:26,389 --> 00:16:25,040
tombolos that sticks out into the red

424
00:16:28,790 --> 00:16:26,399
sea

425
00:16:30,550 --> 00:16:28,800
from a meteorologist meteorologist point

426
00:16:32,470 --> 00:16:30,560
of view the

427
00:16:35,269 --> 00:16:32,480
our flight had great opportunities to

428
00:16:39,269 --> 00:16:35,279
see two large hurricanes one was luis

429
00:16:42,870 --> 00:16:41,350
luis was so big you could hardly see it

430
00:16:45,350 --> 00:16:42,880
all

431
00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:45,360
through one window it covered more

432
00:16:48,949 --> 00:16:47,600
almost more than the horizon

433
00:16:51,110 --> 00:16:48,959
we also had a small problem you may have

434
00:16:53,110 --> 00:16:51,120
heard about with our potty we had to

435
00:16:54,629 --> 00:16:53,120
dump our water into a bag and this is

436
00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:54,639
just getting ready that's a filter

437
00:16:58,389 --> 00:16:56,720
that's attached to a tube that then

438
00:16:59,910 --> 00:16:58,399
gets attached to a bag

439
00:17:01,990 --> 00:16:59,920
at this point in the flight i felt like

440
00:17:04,230 --> 00:17:02,000
i had done just about anything you could

441
00:17:06,710 --> 00:17:04,240
hope for on your first flight but no and

442
00:17:14,789 --> 00:17:06,720
we got a chance to excel at being space

443
00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:16,470
underdog found out why plumbers make so

444
00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:22,470
the cabin stow was uh getting ready to

445
00:17:25,669 --> 00:17:24,160
come home we're pulling all the bags out

446
00:17:27,029 --> 00:17:25,679
of the airlock and trying to find places

447
00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:27,039
for them so we're stuffing them into the

448
00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:29,280
sleep bunks and arranging them to try to

449
00:17:32,710 --> 00:17:30,960
get ahead of the timeline the orbit prep

450
00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:32,720
timeline is fairly tight so the day

451
00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:35,280
before we pulled all the bags out and

452
00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:40,310
and here's a

453
00:17:45,430 --> 00:17:42,240
gorgeous shot fortunately we had some

454
00:17:47,029 --> 00:17:45,440
great photographers on board both the

455
00:17:49,110 --> 00:17:47,039
and dogface are exceptionally good

456
00:17:51,830 --> 00:17:49,120
photographers they captured some some

457
00:17:53,990 --> 00:17:51,840
great scenes and this one sort of

458
00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:54,000
was a nostalgic one for us because we're

459
00:17:57,909 --> 00:17:55,600
getting ready to come home a great

460
00:17:59,590 --> 00:17:57,919
experience at an end we had tried hard

461
00:18:01,270 --> 00:17:59,600
to milk the program for another day but

462
00:18:03,430 --> 00:18:01,280
we just couldn't do it

463
00:18:04,950 --> 00:18:03,440
and here's the entry this obviously is

464
00:18:07,350 --> 00:18:04,960
late in the entry

465
00:18:08,549 --> 00:18:07,360
ken had a great view of houston as we

466
00:18:10,150 --> 00:18:08,559
came over it

467
00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:10,160
by now we're in the range of the long

468
00:18:17,110 --> 00:18:15,430
and this is approaching

469
00:18:18,789 --> 00:18:17,120
the hack turn in fact it's probably on

470
00:18:21,029 --> 00:18:18,799
the hack now

471
00:18:22,230 --> 00:18:21,039
we made a right-hand turn

472
00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:22,240
entry

473
00:18:27,350 --> 00:18:23,919
to

474
00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:27,360
runway 3-3 at kennedy space center

475
00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:28,720
kind of a personal triumph i've been

476
00:18:31,830 --> 00:18:30,080
trying to land in my home state ever

477
00:18:33,909 --> 00:18:31,840
since my first mission

478
00:18:35,669 --> 00:18:33,919
and the last two have gone to california

479
00:18:37,350 --> 00:18:35,679
so we were glad to get back to to

480
00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:37,360
florida with this one

481
00:18:41,270 --> 00:18:39,280
the weather was really good we got great

482
00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:41,280
support from the entry team making sure

483
00:18:45,430 --> 00:18:42,880
the weather was good and that all the

484
00:18:47,990 --> 00:18:45,440
facilities were good

485
00:18:49,750 --> 00:18:48,000
and finally

486
00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:49,760
returning to

487
00:18:54,230 --> 00:18:52,480
light at the kennedy space center

488
00:18:56,070 --> 00:18:54,240
really really enjoyed

489
00:18:59,110 --> 00:18:56,080
the whole flight and the culmination of

490
00:19:00,390 --> 00:18:59,120
it here to land on florida soil was

491
00:19:01,830 --> 00:19:00,400
really nice

492
00:19:05,909 --> 00:19:01,840
there not being any place to land here

493
00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:08,070
shoot came out we hardly had to use the

494
00:19:10,710 --> 00:19:09,520
brakes because the shoot worked really

495
00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:10,720
well

496
00:19:14,150 --> 00:19:12,160
we had a little tailwind so we rolled

497
00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:14,160
quite a ways but we knew we were going

498
00:19:22,830 --> 00:19:21,270
and rolled down pretty close to where

499
00:19:26,150 --> 00:19:22,840
the convoy was and

500
00:19:28,070 --> 00:19:26,160
stopped at 69 knots we

501
00:19:29,350 --> 00:19:28,080
jettison the drag chute and you do it at

502
00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:29,360
a little bit of airspeed so that it

503
00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:31,840
pulls cleanly away from the engine bells

504
00:19:35,830 --> 00:19:33,600
because this after all is a reusable

505
00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:35,840
spacecraft it was a ninth space flight

506
00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:38,960
of endeavour the 71st space flight of

507
00:19:57,110 --> 00:19:44,549
and the

508
00:20:00,310 --> 00:19:58,549
everything about this patch was a

509
00:20:01,590 --> 00:20:00,320
challenge including getting it produced

510
00:20:03,430 --> 00:20:01,600
and it's still a challenge for some

511
00:20:05,430 --> 00:20:03,440
people to figure out which way is up on

512
00:20:07,029 --> 00:20:05,440
it it's supposed to be oriented so that

513
00:20:10,149 --> 00:20:07,039
the shuttle is going straight up but it

514
00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:10,159
almost never gets projected that way

515
00:20:12,870 --> 00:20:11,200
the two

516
00:20:15,029 --> 00:20:12,880
constellations that you see there are

517
00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:15,039
canis major and canis minor

518
00:20:19,510 --> 00:20:17,280
we considered it

519
00:20:20,789 --> 00:20:19,520
a small triumph over bureaucracy to get

520
00:20:23,350 --> 00:20:20,799
that through headquarters without

521
00:20:24,710 --> 00:20:23,360
anybody complaining about that

522
00:20:27,669 --> 00:20:24,720
they um

523
00:20:29,990 --> 00:20:27,679
we wove the 69 motif in there we think

524
00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:30,000
very subtly we were later accused of

525
00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:31,840
having attracted hurricanes by putting

526
00:20:37,190 --> 00:20:34,480
the

527
00:20:38,549 --> 00:20:37,200
and we did attract quite a few

528
00:20:40,390 --> 00:20:38,559
but uh

529
00:20:43,590 --> 00:20:40,400
the the colors of the flag and the

530
00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:43,600
colors of nasa the the wake shield

531
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:45,600
is and the spartan are both represented

532
00:20:50,630 --> 00:20:49,760
by the the vaguely satellite shaped

533
00:20:52,950 --> 00:20:50,640
center

534
00:20:54,390 --> 00:20:52,960
depiction of the astronaut symbol

535
00:20:56,710 --> 00:20:54,400
and of course we have our favorite

536
00:20:59,110 --> 00:20:56,720
spacecraft going up and coming down

537
00:21:01,350 --> 00:20:59,120
safely depicted there

538
00:21:02,470 --> 00:21:01,360
i might mention that underdog wrote a

539
00:21:03,430 --> 00:21:02,480
beautiful

540
00:21:05,350 --> 00:21:03,440
piece of

541
00:21:06,710 --> 00:21:05,360
of verbiage to go along with this to

542
00:21:08,950 --> 00:21:06,720
send it up to headquarters to get it

543
00:21:11,029 --> 00:21:08,960
approved and for those of you who have

544
00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:11,039
the stickers and the patches and the

545
00:21:16,390 --> 00:21:13,760
crew pictures that stuff is on the back

546
00:21:18,549 --> 00:21:16,400
there he did that and i was impressed

547
00:21:20,470 --> 00:21:18,559
with the way that worked out

548
00:21:23,029 --> 00:21:20,480
here we are lifting off

549
00:21:25,110 --> 00:21:23,039
a gorgeous shot every time i'm amazed at

550
00:21:27,350 --> 00:21:25,120
how how good the photography is and i'll

551
00:21:29,029 --> 00:21:27,360
mention here those boosters that you see

552
00:21:31,270 --> 00:21:29,039
working so well there

553
00:21:32,549 --> 00:21:31,280
if you'll remember we had worries about

554
00:21:35,350 --> 00:21:32,559
pre-flight

555
00:21:37,110 --> 00:21:35,360
an absolutely terrific effort on the

556
00:21:39,029 --> 00:21:37,120
part of everybody from the thigh call

557
00:21:41,270 --> 00:21:39,039
folks to the cape folks to the people

558
00:21:42,549 --> 00:21:41,280
here who made sure it all was checked

559
00:21:45,270 --> 00:21:42,559
out properly

560
00:21:47,270 --> 00:21:45,280
to get that booster situation resolved

561
00:21:48,789 --> 00:21:47,280
and get us some fine boosters and as

562
00:21:50,950 --> 00:21:48,799
most of you may have heard

563
00:21:54,950 --> 00:21:50,960
we found the boosters uh to be in

564
00:21:58,230 --> 00:21:55,830
phase

565
00:21:59,510 --> 00:21:58,240
this is our payload bay and you can see

566
00:22:01,350 --> 00:21:59,520
all of our payloads it's not a very good

567
00:22:02,390 --> 00:22:01,360
picture for earth obs but for the bay it

568
00:22:06,549 --> 00:22:02,400
is

569
00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:06,559
closest to us behind it the wake shield

570
00:22:09,350 --> 00:22:07,840
you can see how difficult it would be to

571
00:22:10,470 --> 00:22:09,360
observe it if you were down in front of

572
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:10,480
the spartan

573
00:22:13,430 --> 00:22:11,840
and then behind it another panel we

574
00:22:15,590 --> 00:22:13,440
haven't talked about yet the

575
00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:15,600
ieh international extreme

576
00:22:21,190 --> 00:22:18,080
ultraviolet hitchhiker which had a lot

577
00:22:23,190 --> 00:22:21,200
of different science payloads on it that

578
00:22:24,630 --> 00:22:23,200
cujo was responsible for and primarily

579
00:22:27,190 --> 00:22:24,640
involved maneuvering the orbiter

580
00:22:29,110 --> 00:22:27,200
pointing the instruments at celestial

581
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:29,120
objects for taking all of its science

582
00:22:32,950 --> 00:22:31,360
and it proved to be very successful also

583
00:22:34,950 --> 00:22:32,960
the bay was quite full

584
00:22:37,110 --> 00:22:34,960
and in front which you can just barely

585
00:22:38,230 --> 00:22:37,120
see in front of spartan is our

586
00:22:40,230 --> 00:22:38,240
eva

587
00:22:44,070 --> 00:22:40,240
development flight test task board which

588
00:22:45,110 --> 00:22:44,080
occupied the forward bays of the orbiter

589
00:22:46,390 --> 00:22:45,120
well

590
00:22:48,149 --> 00:22:46,400
this is the

591
00:22:49,510 --> 00:22:48,159
fun part for me i guess because i get to

592
00:22:51,590 --> 00:22:49,520
talk about my crew and they are a

593
00:22:52,710 --> 00:22:51,600
terrific lot

594
00:22:58,789 --> 00:22:52,720
one of the

595
00:23:00,870 --> 00:22:58,799
cujo and i both being naval officers

596
00:23:02,070 --> 00:23:00,880
got a chance to promote our favorite

597
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:02,080
army officer

598
00:23:06,390 --> 00:23:04,960
and make him a real bird colonel

599
00:23:08,149 --> 00:23:06,400
this was set up

600
00:23:10,149 --> 00:23:08,159
with cooperation from the flight control

601
00:23:11,990 --> 00:23:10,159
team and the army space command

602
00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:12,000
and we wanted to make sure everybody

603
00:23:15,990 --> 00:23:14,320
could tell that it was done in space so

604
00:23:18,549 --> 00:23:16,000
we got him upside down and took his

605
00:23:20,870 --> 00:23:19,669
and

606
00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:20,880
that

607
00:23:26,149 --> 00:23:23,760
was a highlight for me the dog face

608
00:23:29,190 --> 00:23:26,159
and i flew together on my previous

609
00:23:30,789 --> 00:23:29,200
flight and he did a terrific job it was

610
00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:30,799
pretty meaningful for me being a career

611
00:23:36,549 --> 00:23:34,240
army officer to be promoted in space

612
00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:36,559
you can see his university uh he managed

613
00:23:40,310 --> 00:23:38,480
to sneak auburn

614
00:23:42,950 --> 00:23:40,320
park posters into every single picture

615
00:23:46,789 --> 00:23:44,390
if you look carefully in the back you

616
00:23:49,750 --> 00:23:46,799
can see the uh the auburn poster could

617
00:23:52,630 --> 00:23:49,760
just taken over control of it

618
00:23:53,830 --> 00:23:52,640
underdog our rookie um he reluctantly

619
00:23:55,990 --> 00:23:53,840
acknowledged that he was a rookie

620
00:23:58,149 --> 00:23:56,000
towards the end of the flight just after

621
00:23:59,190 --> 00:23:58,159
we gave him the contingency wastewater

622
00:24:02,070 --> 00:23:59,200
uh

623
00:24:04,070 --> 00:24:02,080
ifn said okay fine i'm a rookie now

624
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:04,080
get out of this

625
00:24:07,350 --> 00:24:05,520
but mike came to us with a lot of

626
00:24:09,830 --> 00:24:07,360
undersea experience which was helpful in

627
00:24:11,510 --> 00:24:09,840
the eva he came to us with a credible

628
00:24:14,789 --> 00:24:11,520
science

629
00:24:17,190 --> 00:24:14,799
phd and a ton of native intelligence

630
00:24:18,789 --> 00:24:17,200
which we used extensively for

631
00:24:21,029 --> 00:24:18,799
for a guy on his first flight he was

632
00:24:23,190 --> 00:24:21,039
really challenged primary responsibility

633
00:24:26,789 --> 00:24:23,200
for spartan wake shield systems

634
00:24:28,310 --> 00:24:26,799
responsibility arm operator eva

635
00:24:30,149 --> 00:24:28,320
it's a it was a

636
00:24:32,710 --> 00:24:30,159
wonderful opportunity for him he rose to

637
00:24:34,230 --> 00:24:32,720
every challenge he's going to now go do

638
00:24:36,070 --> 00:24:34,240
terrific things i think in the space

639
00:24:37,669 --> 00:24:36,080
station era and it was a

640
00:24:39,190 --> 00:24:37,679
he's a close personal friend of mine

641
00:24:41,750 --> 00:24:39,200
before the flight and the friendship was

642
00:24:44,390 --> 00:24:41,760
cemented during it and just really

643
00:24:46,230 --> 00:24:44,400
proud to have had underdog along and

644
00:24:48,549 --> 00:24:46,240
he learned a lot and in the process i

645
00:24:51,029 --> 00:24:48,559
think he did finish to hit all the

646
00:24:52,630 --> 00:24:51,039
all the corners of every square that

647
00:24:55,830 --> 00:24:52,640
could be filled as a rookie and he did

648
00:25:00,310 --> 00:24:58,710
cujo who used to call himself taco and

649
00:25:03,990 --> 00:25:00,320
his mother calling ken but i don't think

650
00:25:09,029 --> 00:25:07,269
was a joy to fly with the perfect plt he

651
00:25:10,390 --> 00:25:09,039
covered all my mistakes up as well as

652
00:25:11,269 --> 00:25:10,400
anybody could

653
00:25:12,230 --> 00:25:11,279
and

654
00:25:14,470 --> 00:25:12,240
flew

655
00:25:16,149 --> 00:25:14,480
really well when i tried to give him

656
00:25:19,590 --> 00:25:16,159
opportunities to fly because i knew he

657
00:25:22,390 --> 00:25:19,600
would fly beautifully and he did he did

658
00:25:24,390 --> 00:25:22,400
his share and more of the science he

659
00:25:26,230 --> 00:25:24,400
helped pull the team together at every

660
00:25:29,510 --> 00:25:26,240
at every turn

661
00:25:31,190 --> 00:25:29,520
he managed the most complex photo tv

662
00:25:32,950 --> 00:25:31,200
setup that i've ever seen in a space

663
00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:32,960
flight and he did that all with

664
00:25:36,710 --> 00:25:35,120
incredible skill and aplomb and told

665
00:25:40,950 --> 00:25:36,720
some of the worst jokes that i've ever

666
00:25:44,470 --> 00:25:42,149
he's not going to let me talk about it

667
00:25:47,590 --> 00:25:44,480
anymore at that point

668
00:25:50,710 --> 00:25:47,600
pluto our science officer

669
00:25:52,230 --> 00:25:50,720
manager uh owner operator of the orbiter

670
00:25:53,669 --> 00:25:52,240
wide web

671
00:25:54,870 --> 00:25:53,679
we had

672
00:25:59,110 --> 00:25:54,880
probably

673
00:26:00,950 --> 00:25:59,120
in orbit anyway of small computers he

674
00:26:03,750 --> 00:26:00,960
made them all sing

675
00:26:05,750 --> 00:26:03,760
he was also the ms2

676
00:26:07,750 --> 00:26:05,760
consummate flight engineer did a

677
00:26:09,430 --> 00:26:07,760
terrific job on the wake shield deploy

678
00:26:10,390 --> 00:26:09,440
and manage the wake shield science and

679
00:26:12,549 --> 00:26:10,400
did the best

680
00:26:14,789 --> 00:26:12,559
that anybody could do to

681
00:26:16,710 --> 00:26:14,799
make sure that that went smoothly he

682
00:26:19,029 --> 00:26:16,720
wasn't able to make it go smoothly but

683
00:26:21,110 --> 00:26:19,039
he was with the help of a great team on

684
00:26:24,870 --> 00:26:21,120
the ground able to salvage a lot of it

685
00:26:27,190 --> 00:26:24,880
and i think carry on uh a good a good

686
00:26:29,350 --> 00:26:27,200
concept into the into the future

687
00:26:32,149 --> 00:26:29,360
i can't think of enough things to say

688
00:26:33,669 --> 00:26:32,159
about pluto we we named in that uh it

689
00:26:35,350 --> 00:26:33,679
was really a compliment because his

690
00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:35,360
orbit was so far out that none of us

691
00:26:41,750 --> 00:26:38,720
could even begin to keep up with him and

692
00:26:43,510 --> 00:26:41,760
everything he did he did as so well that

693
00:26:45,669 --> 00:26:43,520
we were started logging his little

694
00:26:46,870 --> 00:26:45,679
mistakes when he would make one in order

695
00:26:48,870 --> 00:26:46,880
to see if we could catch him at

696
00:26:51,510 --> 00:26:48,880
something finally did because he didn't

697
00:26:53,190 --> 00:26:51,520
know what a probiscus is but

698
00:26:54,950 --> 00:26:53,200
it took that long and that was eight

699
00:26:56,310 --> 00:26:54,960
days into the mission

700
00:26:58,470 --> 00:26:56,320
uh we didn't

701
00:27:00,789 --> 00:26:58,480
we don't have and i'm sorry we don't uh

702
00:27:02,390 --> 00:27:00,799
a picture just of dave but we have

703
00:27:04,149 --> 00:27:02,400
sitting to my left here

704
00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:04,159
the finest shuttle commander you could

705
00:27:08,870 --> 00:27:06,640
hope to fly with he's he's a lot of fun

706
00:27:10,310 --> 00:27:08,880
he takes care of his crew he takes care

707
00:27:11,750 --> 00:27:10,320
of the people that are working with us

708
00:27:14,230 --> 00:27:11,760
and working for us

709
00:27:17,190 --> 00:27:14,240
and he's just a joy to be around and

710
00:27:19,669 --> 00:27:17,200
and fun to try to keep up with i anybody

711
00:27:21,909 --> 00:27:19,679
out there that's a fellow crewman you do

712
00:27:23,750 --> 00:27:21,919
well to fly with this man

713
00:27:25,590 --> 00:27:23,760
that's a great compliment

714
00:27:26,950 --> 00:27:25,600
well let's move on to some great

715
00:27:28,870 --> 00:27:26,960
pictures of the earth and i'm going to

716
00:27:31,430 --> 00:27:28,880
turn it over to cujo for that because he

717
00:27:32,950 --> 00:27:31,440
was the photographer and earth observer

718
00:27:34,710 --> 00:27:32,960
par excellence

719
00:27:36,870 --> 00:27:34,720
well i mentioned during the movie that

720
00:27:38,710 --> 00:27:36,880
it's a great opportunity to uh

721
00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:38,720
to have humans in space and to be able

722
00:27:42,710 --> 00:27:40,880
to look down and with intelligence uh

723
00:27:44,950 --> 00:27:42,720
such that well i guess we had dogs in

724
00:27:47,430 --> 00:27:44,960
space this time but anyway with some

725
00:27:48,630 --> 00:27:47,440
level of intelligence look at

726
00:27:50,310 --> 00:27:48,640
something interesting that's happening

727
00:27:52,070 --> 00:27:50,320
on the ground and take a picture of it

728
00:27:53,830 --> 00:27:52,080
it's a picture of an am of the amazon

729
00:27:56,870 --> 00:27:53,840
river and another another river that

730
00:27:59,029 --> 00:27:56,880
runs parallel to it uh and

731
00:28:00,549 --> 00:27:59,039
south america was remarkably cloud free

732
00:28:01,830 --> 00:28:00,559
so we got some great views for the

733
00:28:04,789 --> 00:28:01,840
earth's

734
00:28:07,909 --> 00:28:04,799
office here at jsc

735
00:28:11,110 --> 00:28:07,919
these are called von carmen vortices

736
00:28:13,029 --> 00:28:11,120
just simply the shape that clouds take

737
00:28:14,549 --> 00:28:13,039
as the wind blows over an island near

738
00:28:16,950 --> 00:28:14,559
the bottom of the picture is guadalupe

739
00:28:18,549 --> 00:28:16,960
island off the coast of mexico and when

740
00:28:21,430 --> 00:28:18,559
the wind is the right speed about

741
00:28:23,909 --> 00:28:21,440
between five knots and 13 knots and when

742
00:28:26,789 --> 00:28:23,919
you have a high pressure system holding

743
00:28:28,549 --> 00:28:26,799
a cloud layer down close to the

744
00:28:30,549 --> 00:28:28,559
the island itself

745
00:28:35,350 --> 00:28:30,559
it creates this uh very interesting

746
00:28:38,549 --> 00:28:37,029
as we mentioned we saw

747
00:28:39,510 --> 00:28:38,559
some great shots of

748
00:28:41,430 --> 00:28:39,520
two

749
00:28:43,510 --> 00:28:41,440
large hurricanes the biggest was luis

750
00:28:45,110 --> 00:28:43,520
and this is luis and we didn't have a

751
00:28:45,909 --> 00:28:45,120
camera lens that could see it all at

752
00:28:47,750 --> 00:28:45,919
once

753
00:28:48,630 --> 00:28:47,760
very impressive

754
00:28:51,269 --> 00:28:48,640
system

755
00:28:54,230 --> 00:28:51,279
sure glad that it didn't go in over any

756
00:28:55,830 --> 00:28:54,240
more populated area than it did

757
00:28:57,590 --> 00:28:55,840
it was a beautiful thing for us to look

758
00:28:59,190 --> 00:28:57,600
at we had to stop and remind ourselves

759
00:29:00,870 --> 00:28:59,200
that there are some people down there

760
00:29:05,350 --> 00:29:00,880
that aren't thinking this thing is quite

761
00:29:09,830 --> 00:29:07,430
this is an interesting photo in that it

762
00:29:12,549 --> 00:29:09,840
shows what you can see and pick up on

763
00:29:14,470 --> 00:29:12,559
very quickly and that you may never

764
00:29:16,950 --> 00:29:14,480
realize this from from a ground point of

765
00:29:18,950 --> 00:29:16,960
view but this green area which stands

766
00:29:19,909 --> 00:29:18,960
out in the deserts of oman

767
00:29:23,590 --> 00:29:19,919
is

768
00:29:25,909 --> 00:29:23,600
unusual heavy rains that occurred

769
00:29:28,389 --> 00:29:25,919
probably because the area that's green

770
00:29:30,950 --> 00:29:28,399
is higher terrain and as the

771
00:29:31,830 --> 00:29:30,960
moist onshore wind at a certain time of

772
00:29:35,190 --> 00:29:31,840
the year

773
00:29:38,070 --> 00:29:35,200
blow blows it it creates

774
00:29:40,630 --> 00:29:38,080
rainfall or graphic lifting that creates

775
00:29:42,149 --> 00:29:40,640
rainfall and it gives you a good insight

776
00:29:43,830 --> 00:29:42,159
as to what could be going on with the

777
00:29:45,669 --> 00:29:43,840
land in

778
00:29:47,190 --> 00:29:45,679
countries that are really not accessible

779
00:29:50,630 --> 00:29:47,200
enough for us to really monitor any

780
00:29:55,830 --> 00:29:53,830
same thing for the sinai peninsula and a

781
00:29:56,789 --> 00:29:55,840
particular note in the in the nile river

782
00:29:59,029 --> 00:29:56,799
valley

783
00:30:01,190 --> 00:29:59,039
is this flood plain here that's sort of

784
00:30:03,350 --> 00:30:01,200
shaped a little bit like a heart and

785
00:30:04,070 --> 00:30:03,360
each shuttle flight that goes over this

786
00:30:17,269 --> 00:30:04,080
i

787
00:30:18,950 --> 00:30:17,279
can expect from

788
00:30:24,310 --> 00:30:18,960
egypt and other countries along the nile

789
00:30:30,710 --> 00:30:26,710
this is uh a picture of literally

790
00:30:32,230 --> 00:30:30,720
hundreds of center pivot irrigation

791
00:30:33,750 --> 00:30:32,240
fields

792
00:30:35,029 --> 00:30:33,760
wells are drilled

793
00:30:37,029 --> 00:30:35,039
straight down into the earth you see

794
00:30:39,990 --> 00:30:37,039
these out in west texas and new mexico

795
00:30:42,549 --> 00:30:40,000
as well but in saudi arabia they're

796
00:30:44,389 --> 00:30:42,559
they're done extensively

797
00:30:46,549 --> 00:30:44,399
and there's a mixture of fields

798
00:30:48,789 --> 00:30:46,559
currently in productions and and fields

799
00:30:50,710 --> 00:30:48,799
that aren't in production perhaps the

800
00:30:52,710 --> 00:30:50,720
water has dried up in the area of those

801
00:30:55,110 --> 00:30:52,720
wells some of those wells go down 3000

802
00:31:00,230 --> 00:30:55,120
feet to tap into the ancient

803
00:31:05,909 --> 00:31:01,990
and finally a couple more pictures this

804
00:31:06,870 --> 00:31:05,919
is in a city of surabaya in indonesia we

805
00:31:08,310 --> 00:31:06,880
took it

806
00:31:10,470 --> 00:31:08,320
once with

807
00:31:11,750 --> 00:31:10,480
color film and you can see the city

808
00:31:13,750 --> 00:31:11,760
right here

809
00:31:15,830 --> 00:31:13,760
you can get a good idea of

810
00:31:17,590 --> 00:31:15,840
the kind of fluid that's in the water

811
00:31:18,789 --> 00:31:17,600
using the color film and then we had

812
00:31:21,430 --> 00:31:18,799
another shot

813
00:31:23,029 --> 00:31:21,440
using the color infrared film and using

814
00:31:24,310 --> 00:31:23,039
the two from two different kinds of

815
00:31:25,430 --> 00:31:24,320
films you can bring out different

816
00:31:27,509 --> 00:31:25,440
contrasts

817
00:31:30,870 --> 00:31:27,519
and the contrast that color infrared

818
00:31:33,909 --> 00:31:30,880
brings out the best is that between what

819
00:31:35,110 --> 00:31:33,919
shows up as red lush vegetation and rich

820
00:31:38,070 --> 00:31:35,120
farm fields

821
00:31:40,630 --> 00:31:38,080
and the the blues and greens of

822
00:31:42,070 --> 00:31:40,640
of areas that are either have less

823
00:31:46,630 --> 00:31:42,080
vegetation or have been stripped of

824
00:31:49,190 --> 00:31:48,149
wow

825
00:31:50,710 --> 00:31:49,200
well

826
00:31:53,669 --> 00:31:50,720
we've about come to the end of our

827
00:31:55,590 --> 00:31:53,679
presentation we this sort of symbolizes

828
00:31:57,669 --> 00:31:55,600
our feelings about humans in space and

829
00:31:59,029 --> 00:31:57,679
the eventful mission that we had

830
00:32:03,110 --> 00:31:59,039
we can see

831
00:32:04,470 --> 00:32:03,120
here one of our men in space and in the

832
00:32:06,070 --> 00:32:04,480
actually this is taken when we're in our

833
00:32:07,190 --> 00:32:06,080
thermal

834
00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:07,200
testing

835
00:32:12,149 --> 00:32:08,640
and

836
00:32:14,389 --> 00:32:12,159
we can tell that because we can see most

837
00:32:15,990 --> 00:32:14,399
of it if it was luis we'd not be able to

838
00:32:19,350 --> 00:32:16,000
see anything but

839
00:32:25,269 --> 00:32:22,389
and another gorgeous shot

840
00:32:27,509 --> 00:32:25,279
which we view with with nostalgia for

841
00:32:28,389 --> 00:32:27,519
for having had a wonderful time on orbit

842
00:32:30,549 --> 00:32:28,399
and

843
00:32:32,149 --> 00:32:30,559
we wish that we could take every one of

844
00:32:33,990 --> 00:32:32,159
you with us up there

845
00:32:36,470 --> 00:32:34,000
you are there in our hearts

846
00:32:40,230 --> 00:32:36,480
and we thank you for having made it

847
00:32:43,909 --> 00:32:41,110
there's

848
00:32:46,389 --> 00:32:43,919
home plate uh in terms of landing

849
00:32:47,830 --> 00:32:46,399
gorgeous view of florida

850
00:32:50,389 --> 00:32:47,840
which we took just before the end of the

851
00:32:52,149 --> 00:32:50,399
mission we were checking our own weather

852
00:32:55,669 --> 00:32:52,159
the day before actually

853
00:33:00,950 --> 00:32:58,870
during the entry out the overhead window

854
00:33:04,310 --> 00:33:00,960
using my kneeboard mirror mike and i

855
00:33:05,990 --> 00:33:04,320
could see the plasma trail behind us in

856
00:33:07,430 --> 00:33:06,000
addition to the orange glow that

857
00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:07,440
envelops the

858
00:33:12,149 --> 00:33:10,880
orbiter the plasma trail stretches

859
00:33:13,669 --> 00:33:12,159
hundreds and thousands actually

860
00:33:15,669 --> 00:33:13,679
thousands of miles behind us as anyone

861
00:33:18,070 --> 00:33:15,679
would know who got up that morning and

862
00:33:20,630 --> 00:33:18,080
watched a streak across the northern uh

863
00:33:21,750 --> 00:33:20,640
houston sky

864
00:33:24,389 --> 00:33:21,760
we found

865
00:33:26,230 --> 00:33:24,399
it particularly

866
00:33:27,669 --> 00:33:26,240
wonderful to be passing over houston in

867
00:33:29,509 --> 00:33:27,679
the pre-dawn darkness i haven't done

868
00:33:31,110 --> 00:33:29,519
that since my first flight

869
00:33:33,430 --> 00:33:31,120
that time we went south this time we

870
00:33:35,430 --> 00:33:33,440
went north and cujo had the good view

871
00:33:37,750 --> 00:33:35,440
out his window of

872
00:33:39,029 --> 00:33:37,760
of looking down at houston and could see

873
00:33:40,789 --> 00:33:39,039
that we were

874
00:33:42,389 --> 00:33:40,799
crossing home and

875
00:33:44,710 --> 00:33:42,399
people that we've talked to subsequently

876
00:33:46,070 --> 00:33:44,720
talked to us and it was kind of neat

877
00:33:47,750 --> 00:33:46,080
that they had gone out and looked at

878
00:33:49,269 --> 00:33:47,760
this and they'd gotten back inside just

879
00:33:51,350 --> 00:33:49,279
in time to see us

880
00:33:53,830 --> 00:33:51,360
land on tv at the cape it gives you some

881
00:33:57,110 --> 00:33:53,840
appreciation for how quickly the orbiter

882
00:33:58,950 --> 00:33:57,120
crosses the earth and how much energy is

883
00:34:02,230 --> 00:33:58,960
being harnessed

884
00:34:05,750 --> 00:34:02,240
by man's technological capability

885
00:34:07,110 --> 00:34:05,760
for our abuse pleasure and and mankind's

886
00:34:08,310 --> 00:34:07,120
benefit

887
00:34:09,750 --> 00:34:08,320
again

888
00:34:11,430 --> 00:34:09,760
humans can do some pretty terrific

889
00:34:14,069 --> 00:34:11,440
things when they set their mind to it as

890
00:34:16,950 --> 00:34:15,750
and finally here we are

891
00:34:19,109 --> 00:34:16,960
at the end of

892
00:34:21,510 --> 00:34:19,119
what was for us a very pleasurable and

893
00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:21,520
and we think uh for nasa a very

894
00:34:27,349 --> 00:34:23,040
successful mission

895
00:34:30,710 --> 00:34:29,750
this uh this represents

896
00:34:33,349 --> 00:34:30,720
for us

897
00:34:35,510 --> 00:34:33,359
the fact that every shuttle mission is

898
00:34:37,030 --> 00:34:35,520
only a part of the big picture

899
00:34:38,950 --> 00:34:37,040
here's the moon

900
00:34:40,629 --> 00:34:38,960
the moon mars the outer planets and the

901
00:34:41,990 --> 00:34:40,639
stars are where we believe we ought to

902
00:34:43,669 --> 00:34:42,000
be going

903
00:34:45,909 --> 00:34:43,679
we took another small step in that

904
00:34:48,310 --> 00:34:45,919
direction with this flight and each

905
00:34:50,869 --> 00:34:48,320
subsequent flight will be playing its

906
00:34:52,069 --> 00:34:50,879
role and making its contribution as you

907
00:34:54,230 --> 00:34:52,079
will

908
00:34:56,550 --> 00:34:54,240
to that eventual goal

909
00:34:58,950 --> 00:34:56,560
and thanks again for being here for all
