becker in atlanta nice to talk to you

15
00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:30,080
this morning sir

16
00:02:33,509 --> 00:02:31,760
if it's all right with you we were

17
00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:33,519
hoping to kind of skip some of the

18
00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:35,200
technical uh

19
00:02:37,990 --> 00:02:36,959
stuff that you are dealing with and ask

20
00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:38,000
you some

21
00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:39,599
personal questions about what it's like

22
00:02:50,229 --> 00:02:47,190
you can certainly ask anything you like

23
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:50,239
and we'll answer as best we can okay

24
00:02:54,070 --> 00:02:52,560
all right well first of all now you've

25
00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:54,080
been up in space several times and

26
00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:55,840
you've been up on this mission several

27
00:03:03,110 --> 00:02:58,080
days what's the sleeping like up there

28
00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:06,229
but sleeping in space is very individual

29
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:07,760
jill um

30
00:03:11,589 --> 00:03:09,599
we all have our own ways of doing it

31
00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:11,599
this flight fortunately

32
00:03:15,589 --> 00:03:13,680
has what we call sleep stations which

33
00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:15,599
are really individual bunks

34
00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:17,680
for four of the crew members and then

35
00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:20,560
the airlock is available for sleeping

36
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:21,599
when

37
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:23,280
the four bunks are occupied so that's

38
00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:25,440
where i've been sleeping and everybody's

39
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:27,519
been sleeping pretty well it's quite

40
00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:33,190
what about leisure time and i'm not sure

41
00:03:38,309 --> 00:03:35,840
how much of that you actually have

42
00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:38,319
but is there any down time for you and

43
00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:45,430
well as you may imagine

44
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:47,519
we are pretty busy most of the time

45
00:03:51,270 --> 00:03:49,280
partly because we're

46
00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:51,280
we're given a lot to do and partly

47
00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:53,360
because we're very interested in our

48
00:03:58,070 --> 00:03:56,239
work so we we tend to sometimes overdo

49
00:04:00,070 --> 00:03:58,080
it a little perhaps

50
00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:00,080
there is planned leisure time a little

51
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:03,360
of it and during that time we mostly

52
00:04:07,509 --> 00:04:05,920
watch the earth uh or the sky

53
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:07,519
you get a really beautiful view of

54
00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:09,760
mother earth from here in fact we are

55
00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:12,560
sunrise on the east coast here uh

56
00:04:17,670 --> 00:04:15,840
as we speak and so it's it's beautiful

57
00:04:20,310 --> 00:04:17,680
and it's a great way to spend that that

58
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:20,320
little bit of leisure that we do have

59
00:04:25,670 --> 00:04:22,639
when you're on a lengthy mission like

60
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:25,680
you're on do you get at all anxious

61
00:04:28,870 --> 00:04:26,479
uh

62
00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:28,880
wanting to come back to earth or do you

63
00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:30,479
just enjoy the precious time that you've

64
00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:36,310
i can only speak for myself personally

65
00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:38,720
but it has been said by others as well

66
00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:39,840
that

67
00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:41,680
once you get up here and accustom

68
00:04:45,749 --> 00:04:43,759
yourself to the feeling of zero gravity

69
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:45,759
it's quite pleasant and the view is

70
00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:48,160
gorgeous and you're always very aware

71
00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:49,759
that you're

72
00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:51,600
very privileged very fortunate to be

73
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:53,680
here and so most of us would actually

74
00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:55,600
stay a little longer if we had the

75
00:04:59,189 --> 00:04:57,120
chance and i'd certainly like to make a

76
00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:59,199
plug for staying a little longer on the

77
00:05:03,030 --> 00:05:01,120
part of our crew right now for those who

78
00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:03,040
are listening and have the opportunity

79
00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:05,360
to control that

80
00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:06,720
we'll pass that along if they weren't

81
00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:09,120
able to hear a couple other little just

82
00:05:17,590 --> 00:05:11,840
funky questions for you you look clean

83
00:05:21,749 --> 00:05:19,590
that's a real good question again we do

84
00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:21,759
it different ways we have both the

85
00:05:27,189 --> 00:05:23,440
conventional

86
00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:27,199
safety razors and electric razors

87
00:05:30,870 --> 00:05:29,039
being a veteran of many of these press

88
00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:30,880
conferences i used the electric razor

89
00:05:38,710 --> 00:05:36,390
and another again funky little question

90
00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:38,720
here do you all still drink tang up

91
00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:45,110
again i can only speak personally tang

92
00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:46,160
is not

93
00:05:51,029 --> 00:05:48,160
something that i ordinarily drink and so

94
00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:51,039
i haven't had any up here we have a wide

95
00:05:55,029 --> 00:05:53,759
variety of things to drink various

96
00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:55,039
juices and

97
00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:58,560
and mixed sugar and juice drinks

98
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:00,560
i've never seen anything labeled tang in

99
00:06:03,909 --> 00:06:02,720
any of that

100
00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:03,919
all right

101
00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:05,520

clear

134
00:07:38,309 --> 00:07:33,280
wow this is incredible how far away are

135
00:07:43,670 --> 00:07:40,629
well we're going about that fast but

136
00:07:45,909 --> 00:07:43,680
we're really only about 220 miles above

137
00:07:48,390 --> 00:07:45,919
you as we speak

138
00:07:52,230 --> 00:07:48,400
you're speeding along at 17 household

139
00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:56,469
yes it's uh low and fast as as orbits go

140
00:08:01,110 --> 00:07:58,400
and end up at

141
00:08:02,469 --> 00:08:01,120
about 250 miles above the earth it's uh

142
00:08:04,390 --> 00:08:02,479
apparently taking a little bit of time

143
00:08:06,309 --> 00:08:04,400
for my audio to get up to you so it's a

144
00:08:10,710 --> 00:08:06,319
an interesting delay process we have

145
00:08:15,749 --> 00:08:13,670
well i'll try to uh to not walk on you

146
00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:15,759
and as we say in the trade when we make

147
00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:17,440
our transmissions uh do you have some

148
00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:19,120
questions for me this morning

149
00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:22,240
absolutely do uh first question is

150
00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:24,160
let me know you set the scene for me let

151
00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:25,360
me know what you see when you're looking

152
00:08:32,389 --> 00:08:31,270
well that's a very good lead-in

153
00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:32,399
we're looking

154
00:08:37,269 --> 00:08:33,760
right down

155
00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:37,279
on florida west palm beach

156
00:08:45,190 --> 00:08:42,000
i can see lake okeechobee i can see

157
00:08:46,550 --> 00:08:45,200
actually the cloud cover is obscuring

158
00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:46,560
the kennedy space center in cape

159
00:08:50,790 --> 00:08:48,560
canaveral and i can see a lot of

160
00:08:52,389 --> 00:08:50,800
airplane pond trails headed for

161
00:08:54,310 --> 00:08:52,399
places south

162
00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:54,320
must be the winter tourists heading down

163
00:08:58,310 --> 00:08:56,240
to my home state of florida it's

164
00:08:59,350 --> 00:08:58,320
beautiful and now of course as we're

165
00:09:01,269 --> 00:08:59,360
talking

166
00:09:03,829 --> 00:09:01,279
we're moving so we're passing out into

167
00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:03,839
the ocean uh off the coast of florida

168
00:09:07,269 --> 00:09:06,000
and uh and the time has taken me to say

169
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:07,279
this we're

170
00:09:12,790 --> 00:09:10,800
heading down uh over the caribbean

171
00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:12,800
not in the atlantic actually

172
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:18,710
going southeast actually at the top of

173
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:20,320
our orbit

174
00:09:24,949 --> 00:09:23,040
since it's an ellipse as you i'm sorry

175
00:09:26,150 --> 00:09:24,959
it is an ellipse but as you see it over

176
00:09:28,389 --> 00:09:26,160
the ground

177
00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:28,399
uh it looks like a sinusoid so we go

178
00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:29,200
from

179
00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:32,160
28 degrees north on a map on a global

180
00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:34,959
map to 28 degrees south traveling east

181
00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:36,959
all the time

182
00:09:39,990 --> 00:09:38,399
give us a progress report on your

183
00:09:41,430 --> 00:09:40,000
mission you're having first of all you

184
00:09:43,110 --> 00:09:41,440
had some difficulty in getting off the

185
00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:43,120
ground twice delayed with this mission

186
00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:44,480
of endeavor

187
00:09:52,790 --> 00:09:46,560
and also you're having some difficulty

188
00:09:56,070 --> 00:09:54,389
well um

189
00:09:58,230 --> 00:09:56,080
one way to look at it which which we've

190
00:10:00,710 --> 00:09:58,240
considered is that most of nasa's

191
00:10:02,230 --> 00:10:00,720
missions uh go so perfectly and with

192
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:02,240
very little hitches that every now and

193
00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:04,480
again you have to have one where all the

194
00:10:09,670 --> 00:10:06,800
little hitches seem to seem to catch up

195
00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:09,680
and it evens out we've had more than our

196
00:10:13,269 --> 00:10:11,360
share of the little hitches

197
00:10:14,949 --> 00:10:13,279
but the good news is that they haven't

198
00:10:17,509 --> 00:10:14,959
stopped us from getting done what we

199
00:10:18,710 --> 00:10:17,519
needed to do at all and as the mission

200
00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:18,720
goes on

201
00:10:26,150 --> 00:10:24,790
including the hitches with uh getting

202
00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:26,160
the launch of the satellite now the

203
00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:28,000
satellite is supposed to be trailing you

204
00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:28,880
for

205
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:29,600
some

206
00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:31,600
time for you to determine whether or not

207
00:10:36,630 --> 00:10:33,279
the problems that existed have been

208
00:10:41,430 --> 00:10:40,389
well in fact its nominal profile jim uh

209
00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:41,440
keeps it

210
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:44,640
about 30 to 40 miles away from us

211
00:10:46,630 --> 00:10:45,760
while

212
00:10:48,470 --> 00:10:46,640
the

213
00:10:49,829 --> 00:10:48,480
ground control personnel who are

214
00:10:51,269 --> 00:10:49,839
controlling the science on the

215
00:10:52,310 --> 00:10:51,279
satellites from the university of

216
00:10:54,790 --> 00:10:52,320
houston

217
00:10:55,670 --> 00:10:54,800
do their controlling of that science and

218
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:55,680
we

219
00:11:00,230 --> 00:10:57,600
stand by to back them up should it be

220
00:11:01,829 --> 00:11:00,240
necessary due to loss of communications

221
00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:01,839
that's all the way it's supposed to be

222
00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:03,040
and in fact

223
00:11:07,269 --> 00:11:05,120
that's been going better and better and

224
00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:07,279
now we're in the middle of what we would

225
00:11:11,030 --> 00:11:09,600
consider our critical science period

226
00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:11,040
where we're really getting some good

227
00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:13,120
science done

228
00:11:18,389 --> 00:11:15,600
as a team effort between the ground and

229
00:11:20,470 --> 00:11:18,399
and us here aboard endeavor

230
00:11:23,990 --> 00:11:20,480
things that we very seldom hear about

231
00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:24,000
and talk about is the enormous cost of

232
00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:25,920
satellite technology that you're dealing

233
00:11:30,470 --> 00:11:28,720
with and the cost of the missions

234
00:11:31,829 --> 00:11:30,480
does that put an additional pressure on

235
00:11:33,430 --> 00:11:31,839
you and other members of the crew to

236
00:11:38,150 --> 00:11:33,440
make sure you get things done get them

237
00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:40,550
well there is tremendous pressure on us

238
00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:42,480
to do things right and get things done

239
00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:43,920
on time

240
00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:46,560
i think that's related mostly to the

241
00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:49,200
fact that we consider ourselves

242
00:11:53,910 --> 00:11:51,200
to be agents of the american people in

243
00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:53,920
the space program it's it's the people

244
00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:55,920
space program and we're trying to do the

245
00:11:59,509 --> 00:11:57,519
best we can for them

246
00:12:01,829 --> 00:11:59,519
the costs actually

247
00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:01,839
first of all are not

248
00:12:05,910 --> 00:12:03,360
something that we deal with on a daily

249
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:05,920
basis and second of all are relatively

250
00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:08,720
small in absolute terms by comparison

251
00:12:14,069 --> 00:12:11,760
with what people spend on other things

252
00:12:15,910 --> 00:12:14,079
nasa's budget is is trivial by

253
00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:15,920
comparison with most other things and we

254
00:12:21,269 --> 00:12:17,279
think the return

255
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:23,590
so then talk of privatizing nasa and

256
00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:25,839
taking it out of the u.s budget entirely

257
00:12:30,069 --> 00:12:27,680
or at least

258
00:12:34,629 --> 00:12:30,079
it is now you have any impressions of

259
00:12:39,670 --> 00:12:36,949
i have opinions

260
00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:39,680
right now what we know about the process

261
00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:41,760
of privatization

262
00:12:45,990 --> 00:12:43,760
is i think insufficient for me to make a

263
00:12:48,389 --> 00:12:46,000
sensible answer to that i do think

264
00:12:50,389 --> 00:12:48,399
however that nasa

265
00:12:53,350 --> 00:12:50,399
as we have done business has given the

266
00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:53,360
american people a great bargain

267
00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:54,800
i don't think you'd want to pay my

268
00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:56,720
salary for example if i were a civilian

269
00:13:03,030 --> 00:12:59,200
contractor

270
00:13:06,870 --> 00:13:05,350
let me ask you you talked earlier about

271
00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:06,880
we're headed you're projecting in your

272
00:13:10,389 --> 00:13:08,560
orbit and you're headed southeast over

273
00:13:13,110 --> 00:13:10,399
the caribbean

274
00:13:15,269 --> 00:13:13,120
while you're there are you

275
00:13:17,350 --> 00:13:15,279
able to get a look at the hurricane

276
00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:17,360
louise and

277
00:13:24,389 --> 00:13:18,800
it's probably

278
00:13:28,470 --> 00:13:26,470
uh jim we did see quite a bit of it the

279
00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:28,480
first day or two of the mission however

280
00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:31,040
it's moved uh far enough north now that

281
00:13:35,590 --> 00:13:33,360
it's not easy for us to observe we do

282
00:13:37,509 --> 00:13:35,600
get an excellent opportunity to see the

283
00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:37,519
weather patterns in what they call the

284
00:13:41,910 --> 00:13:39,680
hurricane belt as we head here towards

285
00:13:44,230 --> 00:13:41,920
africa and there is

286
00:13:46,069 --> 00:13:44,240
constant activity down there

287
00:13:46,870 --> 00:13:46,079
it's real obvious that the whole world

288
00:13:56,389 --> 00:13:46,880
is

289
00:13:58,069 --> 00:13:56,399
and again to talk about your orbit now

290
00:13:59,910 --> 00:13:58,079
you said that you were over florida when

291
00:14:02,870 --> 00:13:59,920
we started our conversation just about

292
00:14:04,550 --> 00:14:02,880
10 minutes ago at this point

293
00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:04,560
is there any projection for you to be

294
00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:06,480
over boston or over the new england area

295
00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:14,870
no i may go visit my family in boston

296
00:14:19,829 --> 00:14:16,480
after the flight but that's as close as

297
00:14:22,389 --> 00:14:19,839
i'm going to get to it anytime soon

298
00:14:24,710 --> 00:14:22,399
we go no farther north

299
00:14:26,389 --> 00:14:24,720
on a map of the united states than about

300
00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:26,399
28 degrees

301
00:14:30,310 --> 00:14:28,560
because we launched due east

302
00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:30,320
out of the kennedy space center in

303
00:14:33,509 --> 00:14:31,360
florida

304
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:33,519
that is the northernmost point of our

305
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:35,760
orbit so we we don't get to see nearly

306
00:14:39,189 --> 00:14:36,720
as much

307
00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:39,199
of our homeland as we would like to and

308
00:14:43,509 --> 00:14:41,760
as i've been able to observe on previous

309
00:14:45,750 --> 00:14:43,519
missions that have gone a little further

310
00:14:47,829 --> 00:14:45,760
north in latitude

311
00:14:49,590 --> 00:14:47,839
and commander one last question for you

312
00:14:51,030 --> 00:14:49,600
and that is uh assess the mission at

313
00:14:53,829 --> 00:14:51,040
this point are you considering it a

314
00:14:58,150 --> 00:14:53,839
success and uh everything is going to

315
00:15:00,790 --> 00:14:58,160
wind up safely back home on time

316
00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:00,800
i consider it a great success i hope the

317
00:15:04,949 --> 00:15:02,480
people that really matter that being the

318
00:15:07,430 --> 00:15:04,959
american public do so as well

319
00:15:09,670 --> 00:15:07,440
we've had minor hitches and and some

320
00:15:12,629 --> 00:15:09,680
that could have been more than minor had

321
00:15:14,710 --> 00:15:12,639
they not been responded to properly

322
00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:14,720
by the ground controllers in houston and

323
00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:17,040
by the crew on orbit

324
00:15:21,829 --> 00:15:19,600
we've been well trained to do what we do

325
00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:21,839
the people who help us do this

326
00:15:27,030 --> 00:15:25,199
are the best in the world and this has

327
00:15:28,629 --> 00:15:27,040
already been a considerable success and

328
00:15:30,470 --> 00:15:28,639
i think will be a great success before

329
00:15:31,910 --> 00:15:30,480
it's through there's some really good

330
00:15:35,030 --> 00:15:31,920
science being done

331
00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:35,040
and we're uh we're progressing every bit

332
00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:36,720
as well as we would have hoped it just

333
00:15:40,629 --> 00:15:38,560
hasn't been quite as easy to get to this

334
00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:40,639
point as it would be if everything had

335
00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:42,720
gone perfectly

336
00:15:47,269 --> 00:15:44,720
and it's been uh very pleasurable

337
00:15:49,670 --> 00:15:47,279
talking with you uh for

338
00:15:55,430 --> 00:15:49,680
this morning i'll continue to do a

339
00:15:59,590 --> 00:15:57,269
okay thank you very much enjoy talking

340
00:16:00,550 --> 00:15:59,600
to you and uh to all the american people

341
00:16:02,150 --> 00:16:00,560
who are

342
00:16:04,629 --> 00:16:02,160
hopefully watching this in the boston

343
00:16:07,189 --> 00:16:04,639
area hello from endeavor and uh we're

344
00:16:10,389 --> 00:16:07,199
real happy to be doing this uh in your

345
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:13,509
and we have the downlink

346
00:16:18,389 --> 00:16:16,150
okay great before we before we start

347
00:16:20,470 --> 00:16:18,399
with the with the video uh which we

348
00:16:22,470 --> 00:16:20,480
intend to narrate we did want to take a

349
00:16:24,230 --> 00:16:22,480
moment as a crew

350
00:16:27,189 --> 00:16:24,240
to express our thanks

351
00:16:28,790 --> 00:16:27,199
to somebody real special to us who's

352
00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:28,800
no longer

353
00:16:32,470 --> 00:16:30,959
with the shuttle program per se but who

354
00:16:33,430 --> 00:16:32,480
had a lot to do with

355
00:16:36,230 --> 00:16:33,440
getting

356
00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:36,240
us where we are now and we're very much

357
00:16:39,350 --> 00:16:38,399
appreciative of it and we wanted to take

358
00:16:43,430 --> 00:16:39,360
a

359
00:16:46,230 --> 00:16:43,440
who

360
00:16:48,790 --> 00:16:46,240
left the program as you remember

361
00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:48,800
laden late in our flow after having made

362
00:16:51,590 --> 00:16:50,399
some real crucial decisions about the

363
00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:51,600
boosters and

364
00:16:56,389 --> 00:16:53,759
having uh managed the program

365
00:16:58,870 --> 00:16:56,399
tremendously well for quite a while

366
00:17:00,710 --> 00:16:58,880
he's been uh well succeeded of course by

367
00:17:01,430 --> 00:17:00,720
tommy holloway but brewster's special to

368
00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:01,440
us

369
00:17:06,150 --> 00:17:03,600
and we uh we wanted to thank him

370
00:17:07,189 --> 00:17:06,160
personally and directly for all he did

371
00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:07,199
uh

372
00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:09,280
up to and including being on the roof

373
00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:11,760
with our families uh at the launch and

374
00:17:15,110 --> 00:17:13,520
holding madeline's hand and just

375
00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:15,120
generally being the great guy he's

376
00:17:18,870 --> 00:17:16,880
always been

377
00:17:23,429 --> 00:17:18,880
rooster you're you'll always be a dog to

378
00:17:28,230 --> 00:17:24,949
with that i'm going to turn it over to

379
00:17:30,789 --> 00:17:28,240
my production manager for videos uh

380
00:17:32,950 --> 00:17:30,799
the wiley dog face who is going to start

381
00:17:36,150 --> 00:17:32,960
the narration and the and the video

382
00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:38,390
i'll start the narration i'm just

383
00:17:42,070 --> 00:17:40,000
showing

384
00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:42,080
what what it is that pilots

385
00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:44,320
like to do best which is sleep and eat

386
00:17:49,750 --> 00:17:46,000
right now we'll show the eating parts

387
00:17:52,630 --> 00:17:51,430
i know a lot of you know all about this

388
00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:52,640
but

389
00:17:56,549 --> 00:17:54,240
food comes in many different varieties

390
00:17:58,549 --> 00:17:56,559
some is pre-packaged in little packets

391
00:17:59,430 --> 00:17:58,559
that you can just throw in the oven

392
00:18:03,510 --> 00:17:59,440
and

393
00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:05,029
comes in bottles that we bring aboard

394
00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:07,280
this is some of the red dogs barbecue

395
00:18:11,110 --> 00:18:08,640
sauce

396
00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:11,120
not everyone's favorite

397
00:18:15,830 --> 00:18:13,360
certainly red dog's favorite we got some

398
00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:15,840
cans of fruit

399
00:18:20,710 --> 00:18:18,240
our drink comes in

400
00:18:21,830 --> 00:18:20,720
in bags

401
00:18:56,950 --> 00:18:21,840
and

402
00:18:59,909 --> 00:18:56,960
he's

403
00:19:11,669 --> 00:19:01,830
showing the water squirting into this

404
00:19:16,310 --> 00:19:13,750
i really enjoy uh eating vegetables

405
00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:16,320
while on orbit i like them pretty well

406
00:19:20,230 --> 00:19:18,240
on earth as well but

407
00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:20,240
uh on orbit i like vegetables better

408
00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:22,480
than sweet things and so a lot of my

409
00:19:27,110 --> 00:19:24,720
meals are

410
00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:27,120
as well as some meat uh several servings

411
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,710
and where are the shrimp

412
00:19:42,710 --> 00:19:38,470
sorry i think you got most of them in

413
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:56,230
yes sir

414
00:20:21,430 --> 00:19:58,870
and with every meal a nice cup of coffee

415
00:20:25,270 --> 00:20:23,510
we are getting an excellent picture

416
00:20:29,190 --> 00:20:25,280
composition lighting everything it's

417
00:20:33,669 --> 00:20:30,950
well as you know our

418
00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:33,679
our production manager is uh wiley jim

419
00:20:36,470 --> 00:20:34,720
boss

420
00:20:38,390 --> 00:20:36,480
he does an excellent job

421
00:20:40,789 --> 00:20:38,400
i want to take this

422
00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:40,799
opportunity to give our

423
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:42,480
the crews thanks to the flight control

424
00:20:46,470 --> 00:20:44,720
teams you all guys have always been

425
00:20:49,430 --> 00:20:46,480
great during this flight during this

426
00:20:52,149 --> 00:20:49,440
training flow and really uh having

427
00:20:53,750 --> 00:20:52,159
worked down there where you are some

428
00:20:58,950 --> 00:20:53,760
i can tell that this is an excellent

429
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:04,390
thanks got a bunch of smiles around here

430
00:21:07,909 --> 00:21:06,390
and while we're on the subject of food

431
00:21:10,870 --> 00:21:07,919
we'd like to

432
00:21:12,789 --> 00:21:10,880
give our thanks to gloria and vicky

433
00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:12,799
call sign dog food

434
00:21:16,390 --> 00:21:13,760
that

435
00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:16,400
have helped us select and prepare these

436
00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:23,990
okay this is one of our more interesting

437
00:21:28,230 --> 00:21:26,960
secondary uh well actually dso but it's

438
00:21:30,070 --> 00:21:28,240
got enough

439
00:21:32,070 --> 00:21:30,080
stuff to do that it almost has taken on

440
00:21:33,909 --> 00:21:32,080
the character of a secondary payload

441
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:33,919
this is the portable cynical blood

442
00:21:39,669 --> 00:21:37,440
analyzer dto492b

443
00:21:40,390 --> 00:21:39,679
and there is uh in my hand

444
00:21:47,830 --> 00:21:40,400
the

445
00:21:53,350 --> 00:21:50,630
what you do is

446
00:21:56,950 --> 00:21:53,360
after fading out

447
00:22:02,470 --> 00:22:00,310
the doctor is in is is the

448
00:22:03,909 --> 00:22:02,480
side behind that but what you do

449
00:22:05,270 --> 00:22:03,919
is you use a

450
00:22:06,310 --> 00:22:05,280
little sticker

451
00:22:08,230 --> 00:22:06,320
to take

452
00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:08,240
some blood from a from a victim a

453
00:22:11,350 --> 00:22:09,600
subject

454
00:22:14,230 --> 00:22:11,360
and

455
00:22:15,270 --> 00:22:14,240
once the subject has given you his blood

456
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:15,280
uh

457
00:22:19,270 --> 00:22:17,120
there's a and it's not very much blood

458
00:22:20,710 --> 00:22:19,280
fortunately since uh

459
00:22:23,110 --> 00:22:20,720
some of the subjects are more willing

460
00:22:24,630 --> 00:22:23,120
than others to be vampired

461
00:22:28,149 --> 00:22:24,640
um

462
00:22:30,470 --> 00:22:28,159
you take a small capillary tube

463
00:22:33,190 --> 00:22:30,480
put the blood into a little cartridge

464
00:22:35,510 --> 00:22:33,200
self-contained cassette that then goes

465
00:22:36,789 --> 00:22:35,520
into the portable clinical blood

466
00:22:38,630 --> 00:22:36,799
analyzer

467
00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:38,640
the little remote control device that i

468
00:22:43,110 --> 00:22:41,840
showed you there and in a minute and 20

469
00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:43,120
seconds

470
00:22:46,789 --> 00:22:44,240
it

471
00:22:49,190 --> 00:22:46,799
gives you a pretty good blood analysis

472
00:22:50,950 --> 00:22:49,200
and the thing is uh just terrific we've

473
00:22:53,510 --> 00:22:50,960
been very pleased with the way it works

474
00:22:56,070 --> 00:22:53,520
and this is one of those dsos

475
00:22:57,190 --> 00:22:56,080
that actually works better in space than

476
00:23:00,710 --> 00:22:57,200
it does

477
00:23:02,310 --> 00:23:00,720
on the ground at least partially because

478
00:23:04,070 --> 00:23:02,320
the blood is a heck of a lot easier to

479
00:23:06,070 --> 00:23:04,080
get into this little capillary tube up

480
00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:06,080
here where gravity is not trying to

481
00:23:09,590 --> 00:23:08,400
force it down onto the floor

482
00:23:11,669 --> 00:23:09,600
uh

483
00:23:13,510 --> 00:23:11,679
it just climbs right up in the capillary

484
00:23:15,669 --> 00:23:13,520
tube it's really easy to do all the

485
00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:15,679
procedures that i struggled with

486
00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:17,520
in training and uh

487
00:23:22,549 --> 00:23:19,760
the life sciences folks

488
00:23:23,909 --> 00:23:22,559
deserve an attaboy for the composition

489
00:23:26,950 --> 00:23:23,919
design of this

490
00:23:29,029 --> 00:23:26,960
particular dso it's

491
00:23:29,990 --> 00:23:29,039
it's actually kind of fun to do except

492
00:23:31,430 --> 00:23:30,000
for the

493
00:23:41,750 --> 00:23:31,440
part where you have to calibrate the

494
00:23:46,470 --> 00:23:43,669
there you see the there you see the

495
00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:46,480
blood itself in the capillary tube and

496
00:23:50,470 --> 00:23:48,640
pujo is actually shooting the camera

497
00:23:52,710 --> 00:23:50,480
he's going to zoom in there

498
00:23:54,390 --> 00:23:52,720
and you can see

499
00:23:55,909 --> 00:23:54,400
it's just a little it's just a little

500
00:23:58,149 --> 00:23:55,919
cassette it's got electrodes on the

501
00:24:00,630 --> 00:23:58,159
front end of it that interface with the

502
00:24:02,789 --> 00:24:00,640
portable clinical blood analyzer innards

503
00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:02,799
once you get it inside

504
00:24:05,750 --> 00:24:04,480
and um

505
00:24:08,149 --> 00:24:05,760
you never

506
00:24:09,750 --> 00:24:08,159
have any blood to clean up and all all

507
00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:09,760
the mess is contained in a small

508
00:24:12,870 --> 00:24:12,080
biohazard bag and

509
00:24:16,149 --> 00:24:12,880
it's

510
00:24:17,830 --> 00:24:16,159
definitely better and easier

511
00:24:19,029 --> 00:24:17,840
than the kind of blood draws that we

512
00:24:21,350 --> 00:24:19,039
have done

513
00:24:22,870 --> 00:24:21,360
in other occasions uh

514
00:24:23,990 --> 00:24:22,880
different situations this is going to

515
00:24:25,590 --> 00:24:24,000
have a lot of

516
00:24:28,630 --> 00:24:25,600
applicability

517
00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:28,640
in fact it probably already does um

518
00:24:34,549 --> 00:24:30,480
before emergency room medicine and

519
00:24:36,630 --> 00:24:34,559
remote medicine type things

520
00:24:39,750 --> 00:24:36,640
and believe me if i can do this anybody

521
00:24:44,390 --> 00:24:41,909
because i'm the fighter flight surgeon

522
00:24:48,310 --> 00:24:44,400
type when it comes to this stuff

523
00:24:52,230 --> 00:24:50,310
i knew that would appeal to the

524
00:25:03,430 --> 00:24:52,240
to the surgeon or to the doctor's side

525
00:25:07,110 --> 00:25:05,029
that's basically

526
00:25:09,190 --> 00:25:07,120
the procedure

527
00:25:11,269 --> 00:25:09,200
i think we've

528
00:25:14,149 --> 00:25:11,279
covered it pretty well there's the pcba

529
00:25:18,870 --> 00:25:14,159
itself

530
00:25:21,669 --> 00:25:20,789
and you just punch in your patient id

531
00:25:25,269 --> 00:25:21,679
numbers

532
00:25:27,110 --> 00:25:25,279
we'll see the

533
00:25:28,549 --> 00:25:27,120
see the answers which fortunately in our

534
00:25:31,029 --> 00:25:28,559
case so far

535
00:25:33,430 --> 00:25:31,039
have been

536
00:25:34,470 --> 00:25:33,440
indicative of normal levels of the

537
00:25:37,830 --> 00:25:34,480
various

538
00:25:39,269 --> 00:25:37,840
constituents of the blood this is

539
00:25:40,950 --> 00:25:39,279
um

540
00:25:42,149 --> 00:25:40,960
well it has application to many

541
00:25:44,149 --> 00:25:42,159
different experiments in the life

542
00:25:45,510 --> 00:25:44,159
sciences world so

543
00:25:47,190 --> 00:25:45,520
it doesn't doesn't really matter too

544
00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:47,200
much what but

545
00:25:52,310 --> 00:25:48,880
sure does make the process of collecting

546
00:25:55,190 --> 00:25:52,320
blood for any scientific purpose easier

547
00:25:56,390 --> 00:25:55,200
uh on orbit and one would assume

548
00:26:07,269 --> 00:25:56,400
in other

549
00:26:10,950 --> 00:26:09,350
okay this is running on longer than we

550
00:26:13,990 --> 00:26:10,960
realized when we did it so i'm not

551
00:26:15,110 --> 00:26:14,000
trying to hog all the video time we

552
00:26:21,750 --> 00:26:15,120
are going to try and show you what the

553
00:26:25,430 --> 00:26:23,750
and uh

554
00:26:29,830 --> 00:26:25,440
lot to turn it on i told you i was a

555
00:26:33,990 --> 00:26:32,230
and it's really hard to see in the video

556
00:26:37,590 --> 00:26:34,000
but it's it's a graphic display and it

557
00:26:42,789 --> 00:26:40,230
okay here is underdog to talk about

558
00:26:44,390 --> 00:26:42,799
exercise

559
00:26:45,830 --> 00:26:44,400
well even though we stay busy uh it's

560
00:26:48,230 --> 00:26:45,840
real important to schedule time for

561
00:26:50,470 --> 00:26:48,240
exercise and uh it's real important in

562
00:26:52,630 --> 00:26:50,480
space on earth

563
00:26:54,390 --> 00:26:52,640
you have your own weight to react forces

564
00:26:56,310 --> 00:26:54,400
against in space of course you don't and

565
00:26:57,590 --> 00:26:56,320
so uh we come up with exercises where

566
00:26:59,590 --> 00:26:57,600
you can

567
00:27:01,430 --> 00:26:59,600
either react forces against your own

568
00:27:04,710 --> 00:27:01,440
body as i was just doing with that red

569
00:27:07,350 --> 00:27:04,720
dyna band or position yourself such that

570
00:27:09,350 --> 00:27:07,360
any force you generate is reacted

571
00:27:10,950 --> 00:27:09,360
in such a way that you stay in a stable

572
00:27:12,230 --> 00:27:10,960
configuration

573
00:27:14,230 --> 00:27:12,240
and

574
00:27:15,510 --> 00:27:14,240
in such a way you can isolate muscle

575
00:27:17,110 --> 00:27:15,520
groups and actually get a really good

576
00:27:20,310 --> 00:27:17,120
workout

577
00:27:21,750 --> 00:27:20,320
and uh

578
00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:21,760
typically we're scheduled for an hour

579
00:27:26,710 --> 00:27:24,320
and a half exercise and that entails

580
00:27:28,710 --> 00:27:26,720
time to get ready to exercise

581
00:27:30,149 --> 00:27:28,720
as well as time to clean up after the

582
00:27:31,190 --> 00:27:30,159
exercise

583
00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:31,200
and uh

584
00:27:35,350 --> 00:27:33,120
oops there goes some

585
00:27:37,510 --> 00:27:35,360
some paper floating by but

586
00:27:39,669 --> 00:27:37,520
we actually do get quite a good workout

587
00:27:43,510 --> 00:27:39,679
and it really does

588
00:27:47,269 --> 00:27:45,350
and you always have to be thinking about

589
00:27:49,029 --> 00:27:47,279
newton up here because

590
00:27:50,470 --> 00:27:49,039
if you don't

591
00:27:51,750 --> 00:27:50,480
you never know what's going to happen to

592
00:27:56,470 --> 00:27:51,760
you

593
00:27:58,070 --> 00:27:56,480
that here in a minute

594
00:28:05,510 --> 00:27:58,080
here i'm doing some

595
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:20,870
underdog you know just how amazed i am

596
00:28:31,430 --> 00:28:23,510
and if you don't watch out whoa

597
00:28:35,750 --> 00:28:33,029
hello this is pluto and i'd like to take

598
00:28:37,430 --> 00:28:35,760
you on a short tour of the orbiter wide

599
00:28:40,549 --> 00:28:37,440
web

600
00:28:42,710 --> 00:28:40,559
uh we have nine pgscs on board we have a

601
00:28:44,470 --> 00:28:42,720
number of different uh

602
00:28:46,230 --> 00:28:44,480
experiments that we're doing with them

603
00:28:47,990 --> 00:28:46,240
as well as operational use of them in

604
00:28:50,630 --> 00:28:48,000
order to help us with uh

605
00:28:51,669 --> 00:28:50,640
operating the space shuttle

606
00:28:54,310 --> 00:28:51,679
there's the

607
00:28:56,950 --> 00:28:54,320
male disc bag

608
00:28:58,310 --> 00:28:56,960
to its left we have the heart of the

609
00:28:59,830 --> 00:28:58,320
orbiter wide web is the data

610
00:29:02,470 --> 00:28:59,840
distribution center

611
00:29:04,310 --> 00:29:02,480
the pcmmu data from the orbiter comes

612
00:29:06,630 --> 00:29:04,320
into that machine and is distributed

613
00:29:09,350 --> 00:29:06,640
where it needs to go

614
00:29:12,710 --> 00:29:09,360
this is one this experiment here is the

615
00:29:13,510 --> 00:29:12,720
gps relative gps experiment and next to

616
00:29:14,870 --> 00:29:13,520
it

617
00:29:17,830 --> 00:29:14,880
is the

618
00:29:19,269 --> 00:29:17,840
mpd manipulator position development

619
00:29:21,269 --> 00:29:19,279
experiment

620
00:29:23,750 --> 00:29:21,279
for the rendezvous we've positioned what

621
00:29:25,750 --> 00:29:23,760
we normally used as the world map we've

622
00:29:27,510 --> 00:29:25,760
positioned up by the commander so that

623
00:29:30,149 --> 00:29:27,520
he can use our pop the rendezvous and

624
00:29:31,590 --> 00:29:30,159
fox ops program in order to help him fly

625
00:29:34,389 --> 00:29:31,600
currently we have a world map on it

626
00:29:37,029 --> 00:29:34,399
we'll have it up using the uh reno and

627
00:29:40,149 --> 00:29:37,039
box ops program tomorrow for the wake

628
00:29:41,909 --> 00:29:40,159
shield rendezvous as we did for spartan

629
00:29:44,470 --> 00:29:41,919
now on the mid deck we didn't have quite

630
00:29:48,230 --> 00:29:44,480
enough room on the flight deck

631
00:29:51,190 --> 00:29:48,240
on the mid deck we have two other pgses

632
00:29:53,269 --> 00:29:51,200
one of them is being used for the

633
00:29:55,669 --> 00:29:53,279
goddard experiments the spartan the con

634
00:29:57,669 --> 00:29:55,679
cap and so on and so forth the other one

635
00:29:58,950 --> 00:29:57,679
is the other part of the gps

636
00:30:01,110 --> 00:29:58,960
experiment

637
00:30:02,549 --> 00:30:01,120
relative gps is a particular favorite of

638
00:30:06,149 --> 00:30:02,559
this crew

639
00:30:08,230 --> 00:30:06,159
as my crewmates like to remind me

640
00:30:10,630 --> 00:30:08,240
and what it is doing is it's using the

641
00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:10,640
orbiter gps data and comparing it with

642
00:30:16,470 --> 00:30:14,080
the wake shield gps data

643
00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:16,480
that allows us to

644
00:30:20,950 --> 00:30:19,360
get a an accurate relative state vector

645
00:30:24,149 --> 00:30:20,960
between the two we think in the future

646
00:30:25,830 --> 00:30:24,159
the our fidos and flight controllers

647
00:30:28,630 --> 00:30:25,840
will find this very useful

648
00:30:33,269 --> 00:30:28,640
as we get the orbiter into the latter

649
00:30:37,029 --> 00:30:34,789
in addition to the

650
00:30:38,230 --> 00:30:37,039
gps data it also has a world map which

651
00:30:39,909 --> 00:30:38,240
we can use

652
00:30:42,149 --> 00:30:39,919
to show

653
00:30:44,789 --> 00:30:42,159
where we are

654
00:30:47,029 --> 00:30:44,799
this is the complement of dgses on the

655
00:30:48,549 --> 00:30:47,039
middeck

656
00:30:50,710 --> 00:30:48,559
of all nine

657
00:30:51,669 --> 00:30:50,720
all of them are actually in use

658
00:30:53,510 --> 00:30:51,679
on

659
00:30:57,350 --> 00:30:53,520
the flight days involving the wake

660
00:31:02,070 --> 00:30:59,750
we also have a pilot computer for use as

661
00:31:03,110 --> 00:31:02,080
a landing refresher for the commander

662
00:31:05,669 --> 00:31:03,120
and pilot

663
00:31:07,990 --> 00:31:05,679
but we couldn't find a way to tie that

664
00:31:15,669 --> 00:31:08,000
one into the orbiter wide web in the

665
00:31:19,510 --> 00:31:17,190
well we almost forgot a couple of very

666
00:31:21,909 --> 00:31:19,520
important pgscs those are back on the

667
00:31:24,149 --> 00:31:21,919
flight deck

668
00:31:25,190 --> 00:31:24,159
giving us a total of seven on the flight

669
00:31:26,070 --> 00:31:25,200
deck

670
00:31:27,510 --> 00:31:26,080
and

671
00:31:29,110 --> 00:31:27,520
those

672
00:31:31,190 --> 00:31:29,120
two are

673
00:31:33,510 --> 00:31:31,200
for the wake shield the wake shield

674
00:31:35,909 --> 00:31:33,520
is part of its own mini web and it

675
00:31:37,669 --> 00:31:35,919
communicates with

676
00:31:39,269 --> 00:31:37,679
the pgcs communicate with the wake

677
00:31:41,990 --> 00:31:39,279
shield allowing us to see the wake

678
00:31:44,950 --> 00:31:42,000
shield data and to back up

679
00:31:46,389 --> 00:31:44,960
the wake shield poc in its commanding

680
00:31:56,070 --> 00:31:46,399
and data

681
00:32:02,230 --> 00:31:59,750
we're flying over africa in this video

682
00:32:03,830 --> 00:32:02,240
a quick uh last look at the orbiter wide

683
00:32:05,909 --> 00:32:03,840
web

684
00:32:07,669 --> 00:32:05,919
we're using uh for this period of time

685
00:32:11,110 --> 00:32:07,679
we're using an old tgsc for the world

686
00:32:14,149 --> 00:32:12,710
the old ones

687
00:32:15,269 --> 00:32:14,159
can't be interfaced to the orbiter wide

688
00:32:17,669 --> 00:32:15,279
web yet

689
00:32:23,029 --> 00:32:17,679
now we're focusing on the wakefield

690
00:32:27,430 --> 00:32:25,909
and here's the pjc for commanding the

691
00:32:28,950 --> 00:32:27,440
wake shield

692
00:32:31,110 --> 00:32:28,960
on its free flight it's two day free

693
00:32:33,029 --> 00:32:31,120
flight it's out there right now

694
00:32:34,870 --> 00:32:33,039
uh doing science growing semiconductors

695
00:32:37,269 --> 00:32:34,880
and here's another pgc for monitoring

696
00:32:39,029 --> 00:32:37,279
the data real problem with uh

697
00:32:41,350 --> 00:32:39,039
data is in this day and age there's so

698
00:32:43,029 --> 00:32:41,360
much information that we can't have it

699
00:32:44,950 --> 00:32:43,039
all on one computer we really need the

700
00:32:47,029 --> 00:32:44,960
extra data screens in order to be able

701
00:32:51,830 --> 00:32:47,039
to see all the data at the appropriate

702
00:32:56,230 --> 00:32:54,630
uh it was quite a pleasure at first my

703
00:32:58,389 --> 00:32:56,240
payload commander jim voss told me that

704
00:33:00,710 --> 00:32:58,399
we had too many pgs and just recently

705
00:33:02,950 --> 00:33:00,720
both he and my commander asked why we

706
00:33:04,230 --> 00:33:02,960
don't have more

707
00:33:05,990 --> 00:33:04,240
done by then

708
00:33:07,990 --> 00:33:06,000
this is one of our secondary payloads

709
00:33:10,310 --> 00:33:08,000
the commercial generic bio processing

710
00:33:11,830 --> 00:33:10,320
apparatus cgba

711
00:33:13,350 --> 00:33:11,840
red dog and i have been doing this one

712
00:33:15,269 --> 00:33:13,360
throughout the flight it's sponsored

713
00:33:17,590 --> 00:33:15,279
primarily by the university of colorado

714
00:33:19,269 --> 00:33:17,600
and kansas state names research center

715
00:33:21,269 --> 00:33:19,279
dr mark edwards out at university of

716
00:33:23,909 --> 00:33:21,279
colorado has been the primary person

717
00:33:25,990 --> 00:33:23,919
we've worked with it has 29 experiments

718
00:33:28,149 --> 00:33:26,000
with 152

719
00:33:30,070 --> 00:33:28,159
different tescu type things called fluid

720
00:33:31,830 --> 00:33:30,080
processing apparatus

721
00:33:34,230 --> 00:33:31,840
it has a lot of different things in it

722
00:33:36,950 --> 00:33:34,240
biological processes waste management

723
00:33:39,830 --> 00:33:36,960
microbial control here you see me

724
00:33:42,389 --> 00:33:39,840
deactivating actually about seven of the

725
00:33:43,350 --> 00:33:42,399
test tubes that are inside the canister

726
00:33:45,750 --> 00:33:43,360
in this

727
00:33:47,509 --> 00:33:45,760
group activation pack there are a series

728
00:33:49,350 --> 00:33:47,519
of test tubes and you turn the crank to

729
00:33:52,310 --> 00:33:49,360
push

730
00:33:54,630 --> 00:33:52,320
a plate down that mixes fluids we mix

731
00:33:57,830 --> 00:33:54,640
them first have it do its process here

732
00:33:59,830 --> 00:33:57,840
on orbit and then we deactivate it uh

733
00:34:02,070 --> 00:33:59,840
later like i'm doing right now you can

734
00:34:04,230 --> 00:34:02,080
see in the container which is an

735
00:34:05,990 --> 00:34:04,240
incubator keeping it warm a lot of

736
00:34:08,790 --> 00:34:06,000
different of the gaps that have many of

737
00:34:10,629 --> 00:34:08,800
the different 152 different things going

738
00:34:11,909 --> 00:34:10,639
on

739
00:34:13,430 --> 00:34:11,919
some of the interesting things they're

740
00:34:16,950 --> 00:34:13,440
doing with these are

741
00:34:19,349 --> 00:34:16,960
3d polymer matrices with a protein

742
00:34:20,629 --> 00:34:19,359
data storage medium they're also looking

743
00:34:23,669 --> 00:34:20,639
at some different materials for

744
00:34:25,669 --> 00:34:23,679
disinfecting bacterial contamination

745
00:34:28,069 --> 00:34:25,679
both for water purification on space and

746
00:34:29,909 --> 00:34:28,079
in earth that's a university of or

747
00:34:31,909 --> 00:34:29,919
kansas state university

748
00:34:32,869 --> 00:34:31,919
experiment there's some bone marrow

749
00:34:35,190 --> 00:34:32,879
growth

750
00:34:37,669 --> 00:34:35,200
immune suppression uh

751
00:34:39,270 --> 00:34:37,679
system out of kansas state

752
00:34:40,869 --> 00:34:39,280
and

753
00:34:42,310 --> 00:34:40,879
a lot of different things that they're

754
00:34:44,950 --> 00:34:42,320
they're working on medical disorders

755
00:34:46,470 --> 00:34:44,960
drug development microbial control it's

756
00:34:49,430 --> 00:34:46,480
one of the ones that you get a lot of

757
00:34:50,310 --> 00:34:49,440
bang for your buck an interesting

758
00:34:53,829 --> 00:34:50,320
type

759
00:34:57,349 --> 00:34:55,909
our production values have suffered just

760
00:34:59,190 --> 00:34:57,359
slightly by virtue of the fact that

761
00:35:00,790 --> 00:34:59,200
we've had primary mission stuff to

762
00:35:03,510 --> 00:35:00,800
perform here

763
00:35:05,270 --> 00:35:03,520
we're now over the gulf

764
00:35:07,270 --> 00:35:05,280
and we should be looking at corpus

765
00:35:09,109 --> 00:35:07,280
christi

766
00:35:10,950 --> 00:35:09,119
and the inland waterway up the gulf

767
00:35:12,390 --> 00:35:10,960
coast

768
00:35:14,150 --> 00:35:12,400
we're getting a great picture you can

769
00:35:17,109 --> 00:35:14,160
just go right along the coast there and

770
00:35:25,510 --> 00:35:17,119
should be able to find houston here

771
00:35:29,829 --> 00:35:28,150
this is pretty good viewing of the

772
00:35:33,030 --> 00:35:29,839
gulf for this time of year there's not

773
00:35:34,470 --> 00:35:33,040
as much haze as we sometimes encounter

774
00:35:38,069 --> 00:35:34,480
hope you guys are having good weather i

775
00:35:43,030 --> 00:35:40,230
it's been a little a little warm up to

776
00:35:47,270 --> 00:35:43,040
93 degrees but it has been an early fall

777
00:35:51,750 --> 00:35:49,990
well as much as we love it up here

778
00:35:55,430 --> 00:35:51,760
we like

779
00:35:57,349 --> 00:35:55,440
going to enjoy it as long as we can

780
00:35:59,589 --> 00:35:57,359
including milking you guys for as much

781
00:36:01,190 --> 00:35:59,599
extra as we can

782
00:36:02,790 --> 00:36:01,200
we'll be happy to see you when we get

783
00:36:04,470 --> 00:36:02,800
back

784
00:36:05,829 --> 00:36:04,480
if you look above the cloud layer you

785
00:36:08,710 --> 00:36:05,839
can see all the contrails of the

786
00:36:11,030 --> 00:36:08,720
airliners going back and forth

787
00:36:13,349 --> 00:36:11,040
pretty interesting indication of the age

788
00:36:19,349 --> 00:36:13,359
we live in yes sir we got a good view of

789
00:36:23,829 --> 00:36:21,910
looks like go weather for the cat crew

790
00:36:26,710 --> 00:36:23,839
this will just hold until they get ready

791
00:36:27,990 --> 00:36:26,720
to launch

792
00:36:29,910 --> 00:36:28,000
now we're over the southern part of the

793
00:36:31,910 --> 00:36:29,920
peninsula we're centered up on lake

794
00:36:33,750 --> 00:36:31,920
okeechobee now you can pull back and see

795
00:36:34,710 --> 00:36:33,760
the entire part of peninsula is that not

796
00:36:37,190 --> 00:36:34,720
pretty

797
00:36:41,589 --> 00:36:37,200
yes it's fantastic it's unbelievable how

798
00:36:43,270 --> 00:36:41,599
clear the peninsula is

799
00:36:50,710 --> 00:36:43,280
yeah this is uh this is nice weather

800
00:36:53,829 --> 00:36:52,310
jim said he ought to be taking pictures

801
00:36:55,349 --> 00:36:53,839
instead of showing these to you but i

802
00:36:56,470 --> 00:36:55,359
think this is worth sharing with people

803
00:36:58,069 --> 00:36:56,480
it's uh

804
00:37:00,310 --> 00:36:58,079
it's as close as you can come to being

805
00:37:02,150 --> 00:37:00,320
here and as you know it's

806
00:37:03,829 --> 00:37:02,160
it's missing a lot of the other

807
00:37:06,829 --> 00:37:03,839
sensations but the cameras we've got

808
00:37:10,230 --> 00:37:06,839
these days really enable us to share a

809
00:37:11,829 --> 00:37:10,240
lot there's the

810
00:37:17,190 --> 00:37:11,839
there's the south florida the end of the

811
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:23,829
and here comes the bahamas

812
00:37:28,069 --> 00:37:26,069
okay as you go into the handover we'll

813
00:37:29,510 --> 00:37:28,079
give you this uh we'll give you this

814
00:37:36,390 --> 00:37:29,520
picture

815
00:37:41,349 --> 00:37:38,950

816
00:37:45,109 --> 00:37:42,310
well

817
00:37:46,470 --> 00:37:45,119
the message from our perspective is

818
00:37:49,750 --> 00:37:46,480
we sure would like to be going back

819
00:37:51,270 --> 00:37:49,760
there we we think that and the other

820
00:37:53,910 --> 00:37:51,280
the other

821
00:37:55,589 --> 00:37:53,920
orbiting satellites of other planets and
